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.

When i install a custom rom, i expect that it includes all the features of Stock rom and has additional features.
But i realized that some of the key features of stock rom are not included in custom roms.
For example Stock Camera App has a lot of cool features like "Face Detection" and "Video Stabilize". But most of the roms has Camera ICS and it has not these features(in pro version it says it has video stabilize but i couldn't see it).
Also Stock Phone application is perfect for me because it has an opiton like slide right and left for messaging and phone calling. But in custom rom you need more steps to call or message.
So my first question is...
Is there any custom rom that has ability to use stock camera application and stock phone application ? Also i wonders is this possible or not ?(or any other stock application)
My second question is about an Iphone feature.We are sure that our sgs2 has a lot more features then iphone. But when i use iphone(yes i have one sorry for this) i see that contacts and messaging applications open fast as lightning. Probably the phone and messaging applications are always in memory on iphone even at startup!.
On SGS2 when i open conctacs application, even if i press home button after a while (after one hour) when i edit contacts it waits about 2-5 seconds to open it.(i have more than 1000 contacts)
Is there a way to keep contacts app and messaging app always in memory ?(or it may be any other application too)
Thanks
I think that WanamLite would be great for your taste as it's based on stock Samsung ICS Firmware.
If you can live without that Sammy's phone app, then maybe you should try MIUI or it's derivates( WIUI, RGUI, cMIUI). It has stock camera app. And the rom itself is beautiful, fast and stable.

hi there,
new here and hoping this is the right place to post this.
I'm using the latest CM9 nightly on Galaxy tab 10.1 (p4wifi) with latest pershoot kernel... everything worked quite nicely until recent updates...
some issues I'm having :
-home button won't work anymore
-screen won't lock anymore
(also I was never able to change the wallpaper for the lockscreen, it was only the transparency over homescreen wallpaper, but now the screen doesn't lock at all)
I find this ROM really great and would like to keep using it, quite eager to have a working camera though.
any help would be appreciated...
.............
well, forget it, I fixed it.
I flashed some stock files through odin which messed it all up w/ rollin screen than I flashed a bootloader fix and re installed recovery+kernel+rom+apps... and voila.
I dont even quite understand how I did it and why it worked. dont get either why I had these problems. all my homescreen setup is even intact. miracles do happen.
still cant change the lockscreen wallpaper though.
I have installed UNLIMITED custom rom (locked BL) which I really like - so much faster than stock.
I do however, like the the look and feel of the stock phone (making and receiving calls) and contacts.
Would it just be a case of replacing /system/app/Phone.apk and Contacts.apk with the stock ones (and then, I guess reboot/delete dalvik cache)? If so, does anybody have them?
(sk17i - mini pro)
thanks!
Ok. So I've decided to ditch UNLIMITED.. it never felt quite right on my mini pro:
mobile signal sometimes seemed get lost during sleep, and takes a long time to recover it again on wake, and sometimes even needed a manual scan
the LED notification fix was a bit flakey (sometimes it would blink for SMSs, sometimes it wouldn't)
setting a ringtone for a contact didn't work (all contacts ring with the system default tone)
That said, it was definitely a nice smooth and fast ROM. Very nippy, and no bloat. I would stick with MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP if you're after that though - Even though it's quite dated now, it's more stable.
Personally, I much prefer the Sony stock look and feel over AOSP, especially the dialler and contacts app, so I've ended up going for Official 4.1.B.0.587 as its a handy flashable ZIP and is rooted, together with Ultimate Notification LED fix for Xperia. I've gone through and removed the bloat, and so far all is running nice and smooth, and most importantly, the LED notification works fully now :highfive:
It's not quite as fast and smooth as UNLIMITED / MiniCMSandwich, but I'm hoping a custom kernel like MESA and some tweaks might help that.
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
Hey, my problem i have isn't´t that big but i still searched for any solution but couldn't´t find something (If you wanna skip the not that important part you can skip the next paragraph ).
I´m planning to give my device to a (female) friend i have and therefore the phone should work no matter which function she wants to use.
So I installed SlimSaber (i´m not sure if I should feel bad for not using SlimKat ) and it is perfectly working fine. Especially the Dark Theme is nice and the battery usage is around 10 hours at medium to high usage. Only Problem which is bothering me is the Camcorder of custom roms. When recording something the camcorder always is zoomed in and there is no way to zoom out (guess this problem is well known? didn´t find much about aosp camera though...)
Well i´d like to know if there is any fix for the stock aosp camcorder with zoom bug. Using third party camcorders without zoom freezes my phone and i need to restart in order to get camera working again.
If there isn't any fix or a possibility to get around this there is another question
Is there any modified Samsung rom which is looking like aosp ui? and if not is there maybe a dark skinned Touchwiz ui available. I searched for stuff like that but i really can´t find anything.
Best solution would be to get a camera fix though...
Thanks in Advance
