Which leaked JB rom DOESN'T have HUGE battery drain?
Also, using a different lockscreen is, imho the best solution to lockscreen freezes. Any clue where i can get the AOSP lockscreen, preferably flashable via CWM?

as far as read buddy revolt is good , and also cm10.1 are good jb once got battery improvements
and if you facing that it could be your OS learning about your battery
@op
Yes it everything okay. Just remember don't wipe data on 4.0.4(if you have this) because it can brick device... if you want root just flash through Odin siyah kernel..
@tintin
All roms have but there fix lockscreen look into android development section or original development... if you want aosp

When Samsung ported rom form sgs3. They didn't fix profile_saver.xml they left 2200 battery(settings) but for stock sgs2 battery need 1650...
This is for leak jb...
Merry christmas and Happy new year

If the problem is well known, can't it be fixed? By changing the value in that xml file?
Yes There is fix flashing through cwm...

Sir, you can change wallpaper by long tapping on home sceen, a menu will pop up , select wallpapers or gallery based on where your desired wallpaper is. I didn't get the colour stuff? If you mean that you want to change the ROM's colour then you cannot do that through a wallpaer, you need to download a theme which has the desired colors and apply the theme via Theme Manager
And yes, you can also change the wallpaper via settings menu

in my opinion. now is the best and setabil is "TheMyth ICS - Lite"
this one is great CRe.ActiveX RC1 Barebones Based on CM7.1 Grif_07 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414779
Hi,
I tried almost all ROMs in the development pages but I like the best ICS final with SlainModFast v2.5 with the new kernel(blackhawk - ketut). I had no reboots, no freezes no problems. I also run the JuiceDefender on balanced and improves the battery life. And I like the ADW launcher that is included in the ROM.(tried GO, Launcher Pro and some others).
I am a big fan of Grif's CM7 and Ketut's oc kernel... those guys deserves monies!
need kernel with vpn support Android 2.3.5
Hey guys,
flashed today the ace to the Android 2.3.5 via odin.
have now these figures:
Android 2.3.5
Basisband S5830xwks2
Kernel [email protected]#1
gingerbread.xwks2
have read in this forum that per default in samsung's kernel there is no vpn support compiled in so that that i am not able to use vpnc to connect to company's vpn (cisco based).
maybe an option is to update to Android 2.3.6 stock rom, but i think same sh** no vpn support compiled in...
Need a 2.6.35.7 Kernel with additional vpn support nothing more like overclocking etc. Which kernel are you recommended and how do i update only the kernel via odin, too???
many thanks for your replies.

Hi guys,
I'm new in the Samsung scene, I've Always used HTC phones before. My question is not how to flash (i'll first search for it myself), but if anyone could recommend me a rom with the look and feel of the SGS3 software.
I've searched but couldn't find anything i think works 99%.
thx

Try Resurrection remix 2.6.1. Based on ICS and stable as a rock. I'm pretty new myself and been using it for a while.Easy to install and no issues whatsoever. :good:
First of all, are you sure you have an i9100 and not an i9100G, a skyrocket (AT&T or Rogers), a Galaxy S2 LTE HD, etc?
If you do have an i9100, this is the forum for you. If not, try and find your right forum...
I'd look in the SGS2 android dev forums and not the Original Android Dev forums. Alot of cooks have ROMs with SGS3-like themes... And there's possibly a touchwiz5 mod in the themes section. I know the ripple lockscreen was ported too...
To be honest, alot of ROMs exist but it's a question of taste... I know Resurrection remix is a popular one. Alot of people switched to Cyanogenmod when ICS hit though, as ICS wasn't up to par for Samsung's implementation...
Your best bet is to flash a custom kernel with CWM recovery in Odin (Alot of guides to do this) like CF-Root and then grab ROMs and flash them through CWM. If you want a kernel that's able to dual boot, you can use DreamKernel, Siyah, etc. That way you can get one ROM going and test a second ROM as a secondary. Dual booting can be achieved because we have a 500MB partition on our phones that isn't used for anything... Fun, is it not?
And The other rom is pfittech ics rom and is also stable and he is working on stable jb rom as among other devs

wow guys really thanks!!! I'm really happy to get so much information! I can do everything myself now thank you a lot :')
I think i'll wait untill a port of the new JB update for the S3 gets ported
I've always used Slim ICS, very light weight and customizable.

I'd go with rootbox. Just because the dev updates more frequently does not mean it's a better rom. The ones who don't update frequently just mean they don't have bugs to fix...

Hello everyone,
I have recently rooted my SGS2
using CF root.
Replace the Stock kernal with siyah 4.1.5
Then currently i am on stock ROM
slimICS.
HOw to keep the thread alive....
share your experience of Custom ROM which you are using.
Pros and Cons of the ROM...
Report any Bug..
We can then submit the issue to corresponding Thread or developer..
It is really your choice when it comes to deciding on a ROM.
A few things to consider, the JB 4.1.1 ROMs are available but not stable yet. So if you want to try the latest and greatest and don't mind the odd crash and random reboot it allows you the opportunity to report back your findings and assist in that way with development.
If stability is your concern, then you certainly want to go with an ICS ROM. CM9 is pretty stable as a recommendation.
As you mentioned earlier you could also dual boot to experience both. Just a few pros and cons for you to help in decision.
Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

I booted RR 2.7 ICS version on 2 nd ROM
and after 2 hours booted 3.8 RR JB version..
is it safe to flash ROMs too fast??
I mean back to back??
Theres no limit to the number of ROMs you flash in a day
Only make sure your battery is above 60% atleast before you flash a ROM, or anything for that matter.

Hey Manubr,
few dayz back i was also having the same question
should i try JB too ??..
ok so here is the answer.
JB ROMs are not stable since it has some memory leak issue.
It wil not be resolved till Samsung officially launch JB for SGS2.(will have to wait for stable version)
But CM10 team is trying to resolve infact minimize the issue and get the best JB ROM...
you can check there 30 sep nightly build...
Which i have installed it...
I m having SlimICS ROM1
and CM10 ROM 2..

Hello guyz..hurry up..Poll it
TO help others..
Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone could help me with my quest for information?
I own a (Unbranded/Unlocked) Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 International
I'm running Android 4.1.1 at the moment.
Buildnr: JRO03C.I9300XXDLIH
Baseband: I9300CEDLI1
The problem is i have been using my GS3 for a couple of weeks now, and i can't stop noticing how laggy the device itself is.
I don't have alot of apps installed and the memory i used is 1.5GB. I managed to root it 3 days ago. I used the S3 TOOLKIT V6.0 (Found @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488).
Back in the days i owned a HTC Desire with CyanogenMod running on it. And i never had lag problems with my HTC. So i would like to try a custom rom for my GS3. I read about alot of custom roms and about kernels to. Alot of people use the Siyah kernel.
So question(s) 1: Can i use the Siyah Kernel for my SG3 or is my current one good enough to stay on it? + How can i accomplish changing the kernel? (Via ODIN?) (I searched the web and found some tuts, but i don't want 2 do it because it is from months ago. Is there a updated tut?)
Question 2: CM10 for SG3 looks nice but is still a nightly build and not a stable build, so which of the massive amount of custom roms is a good replacement for the SG3? (A nice noob proof tutorial would be nice too )
Well thanks in advance for the guys who will help me. I hope you don't think i'm lazy or something. I have searched and searched forever. I have browsed alot of webpages, i even watched youtube vidz . I just don't want to do something wrong and end buying a iPhone again instead. I would like to be more in the android scene, so if u guys would help me in the right direction, i would be very thankfull. :good:
1. Siyah kernel works with any Samsung based or cm10 roms and yes bits amazing. As for flashing it look under the original android development section and the thread is there with a link for a cwm file. Obviously install with cwm.
2. Your not supposed to ask which is the best rom in these forums there is rules against it, but I use omegas rom, it is Sammy based and is smooth as hell. Your best bet is to search through the roms and see what you like.

No it doesn't come with it just download it from the thread and flash it with cwm. And yeah omega comes with touch wiz but if you don't like the looks of it you can always use holo locker and holo launcher HD for the stock android look. that's what I do.

Greetings all, i'm a noob on this forum
I have Galaxy S III International version, and using leaked JB 4.1.2 right now. When using Siyah kernel v 1.8 it's a bit laggy, not snappy!
A lot of members in this forum said that 4.1.2 is snappier than 4.1.1. Is Siyah kernel the problem here? need advice. :fingers-crossed:
I'm using siyah 1.8 and it seems perfectly fine. Don't know why it would be laggy try asking in the siyah forum

Cyanfox
I have tried Cyanfox. I's very light applis and you you must go to GooglePlay for complete. No posibility when you are block night mode to have a few contact derogation ?
Thank's !
This thread is pointless. Nor were closed to hundreds in the last period. Use the search button to see the ROM and find maybe one suitable for you. I can only suggest the CyanFox, really good. But at the end are tastes, then good search!
P. S: Best Wishes for the new year
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
