First of all, I would like to ask this in the roms forum, but I can't because of post count, so it says I should ask here instead (after searching and not finding an answer).
So, what I need to know is if there is a way to enable/disable rotation only on touchwiz, because it laggs a bit, i'm used to it not rotating and also it "eats" the names of the apps in the apps list while in landscape mode..
Thank you!
try downloading the omega files jb s3 and note 2 go to s3 launcher and download stock touchwiz..i hate the landscape mode)im just changing it now.hope it works

Hi All!
I recently sold my S2 to a friend who is coming from a broken iPhone 4.
He had his iPhone 4 jailbreak'd, and he requires the following tweaks in the "android" world:
iPhone 4 Tweak:
SpringFlash - a tweak that allows an assignment of a gesture or physical button to activate the iPhone's camera's flash as a flashlight - in his case, he would press down iPhone's power button and the flashlight will turn on/off. Now, for his Galaxy S2, he currently installed Market (Google Play) App- a flashlight widget , however, he wants to know if he can assign a gesture or physical button to activate that on his android phone ?
InfiniteDock - a tweak that allows dock icons, to infinitely scroll left or right, adding applications/folders - on the S2, he has the stock icons (phone, message, e-mail and internet -- or whatever he assigns too) ... now, I was looking into some launchers ... Launcher Pro, Go Launcher ... which one would you guys recommend ?
Just as an FYI, he currently has CheckROM V4 installed, I believe that is at Android version 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 - - CheckROM is now updated to V6, but I still think it is still Gingerbread based build, correct me if I am wrong.
He is thinking about going to either Lightn' Rom (which the latest is based on Android 4.0.4) or the CheckROM V6 ... Please advice which ROM and tweaks he should go for that incorporates the iPhone tweaks he is looking for ...
Thanks!
Install any custom launcher like go launcher, adw launcher.(launcher pro is outdated)
1. use the swype gestures to turn on torch
2.same launcher has option to infinite scrolling in dock
do post the question in Q & A section next time
Thanks...
Thanks, I'll look into it.
the resurrection remix (currently at 1.7) allows you to set up 'long press power while on the lockscreen' and get a flashlight
and most launchers can use scrolling docks - im using a program called simifolder widget - it gives iphone style folders anywhere, so setup about 20 apps for a folder and in the dock bar click it and get a nice scrollable popup
use apex launcher pro it has swipe gestures

If you would have read the OP carefully you would find out that his friend is running gingerbread and he can't install Apex.
He can also add some toggles to the notification bar if he don't have them.

Thanks again...
Hi Again,
I actually helped him upgrade to 4.0.4 (custom OMEGA rom).
We are using APEX launcher, and he is fairly happy with it. Prior to reading the forum, I didn't know about the remix ROM able to have the delay-touch gesture of the power button...I was wondering if that is available on the OMEGA ROM - Black Blue ICS Theme v11.1 or v11.2 (something).
Thanks!
P.S. what is the technical term behind the resurrection remix's rom feature - "set up long press power while on the lockscreen" function? is it common among android custom-based ROMs?
Hello guys,
I am looking for Jelly Bean ROM ( I mean JB look, i don`t like samsung overlay on android) but with all special functions of Samsung Galaxy s 3 such as S Voice, Smart Stay and touch options( zooming with two fingers on picture in gallery etc.) I spent whole day on searching but didn`t find any maybe looking in wrong place? or just doesn`t exist?
Also i would like to add that it isn`t my very beginig on flashing roms. Previously I had HTC Desire HD with plenty roms tried.
Please help

AOKP /AOSP are non Samsung roms

I would suggest a custom deodexed sammy rom (wanam, omega etc) with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397 and nova or apex launcher! Thats as close as you can get.

And does the "pan to move icons" works? I have already found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886332 MS Team HD 5.0 and it doesn`y support it but just it so it`s very acceptable. Another thing, but propably in every rom, lack of S Planner widget.
Would totally love this combination as well. Mainly so I can keep WiFi tethering which Vanilla JB ROMs don't have.
Nice to hear that I`m not alone
S Planner and other samsung applicatins might be in the rom, depending if the author put it in or not. I can not give you that specific advice because I am using cm10. So you gotta check some roms out and see whats in there.
You also have the option to flash deodexed stock rom and then vertumus theme, so you got the complete Samsung stuff. Here you get the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704185
Oh and perhaps also check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572 Has the JB look out of the box
http://galaxys3.roms-db.com/ also very neat when trying to find a suiting rom!
Apex or Nova launcher with holo locker.

Hi all! now i understand that threads debating the 'Best' ROM, theme, app, mod or setting arent something XDA is fond of, but thats not the particular reason I'm here, I've looked through countless threads in the mod/theme section and I'm wondering if someone can help me find the best solution for me. I'm relatively technically minded and a half-decent IT worker but I will openly admit when it comes to development/flashing, I'm one to follow instructions to the letter to get what I need up and working, but never learn the deeper workings.
I've an unbranded i9300 which I've had flashed with CM 10/10.1 and have kept updating with nightlies, but now I seek to branch out and find a ROM that will allow me the super-stability, additional working features (Allshare Cast [in particular], NFC, multi-view) of the stock Samsung image. I've since flashed philz custom touch recovery, and then proceeded to flash Sotmax Jelly Bean Ultimate Stock V10 available here. Its provided all the features I want, working, a good kernel and some customizability but the cartoony, colourful Samsung visuals are the reason I flashed from stock in the first place.
Can anyone help me find anything I can add to my device to get me a stock 4.1.2 lock screen, dropdown/notifications, launcher and settings? Essentially as much of the UI from CM10.1 as possible. I flashed Domination 1.4.3 as it looked and seemed perfect - but didn't change the lockscreen, and i started noticing lots of lag when scrolling/opening apps instantly. Is it thoroughly incompatible with the ROM im looking to use, or have i done something wrong along the way?
If this is a noob thread i do apologize but these forums can be so cluttered and misorganized to someone unused to searching through them that it can be hard to find something - if you dont know exactly what it is you need.

So you want some features from Samsung stock rom (camera, NFC, default framework and drivers), but the look of original 4.1.2 (CM10)?
I want this too!

Thank you, i'll be checking those two out!
Ive since found the Null ROM here and it also seems to be exactly what we want/need from scratch, a mix of 4.1.2, Samsung Features, and a CM/AOKP look and feel. Still missing that lock screen though. Holo locker is the look that i desire - but it seems to lag when switching on, the normal homescreen displays for up to a second before it reverts to the lock. odd..
I use UltimaRom for same reason.
I wanted to use some of samsung apps but with look and feel of CM10.
And UltimaRom provides that. It also let me choose which samsung I want to keep and which I want to get rid of to keep my phone faster.
Ultima looks excellent! Thanks for the recommendation, nice boot loaders too and excellent file/mod support on his site

take a look at the null rom. Perfect for all your needs.
I am running Omega and really want the stock lock screen instead of the stupid Samsung one, the stock one does come up when the alarm is going off but that's it.
Anyone know how I can change it?
by reading the themes n apps section
Hello,
I used to have liteing roms on my SGS2 and really liked them.
Then I switched to resurrection roms because they seemed to be quite similar.
But the newest version is very badly done.
The camera oftentimes does not work, when I unlock the screen I don't have to option to go to the camera anymore.
And swype does not recognize words I saved into the library anymore (even if I resave them 100 times)
I'm looking for a battery saving fast rom. with a nice customizable pull down menu and the option to start the camera from the unlock screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys.
