Reccomend me a rom? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, ive rooted my phone a while ago but i am now looking to installing a custom rom. the main reason i dislike the stock one is little things like when you start typing a number in the phone the person comes up then you click their name but then you still have to hit dial, and also when you go back into the app later to call someone else the last number is still up so you have to delete it. also id like to be able to launch apps from the lock screen.
thanks for any help.

Chameleon 3.0.1 !!

As you can see, ppl reccomend a different ROMs, nobody will say you which ROM is best. So you need to choose it for yourself.

[Q] Does the Omega 4.0 Custom ROM 'Keep in Memory' ?

Does anyone know if the Custom ROM 'Omega v4.0' for the Galaxy S3 has the option (like Apex Launcher) to KEEP IN MEMORY..?
The ONE and ONLY reason i want to change ROMs is because my homescreen widgets and icons are CONSTANTLY re-drawing whenever i exit an app, and its WINDING ME UP!
Does the same for any other launcher!!
Apex launcher (whilst kept in memory) seems to be better, but i would prefer the stock launcher so was thinking of changing to the Omega ROM.
So yeah, back to my question, can the Omega v4.0 ROM be 'KEPT IN MEMORY'..?
Why not you ask the developer himself?

lol has anyone gone back to ICS yet?

just wondering if anyone's gone back to ICS? I mean its not like we really need any 'performance boost'.. and with jb, we give up smoothness, and flash.. what do you guys think? that last ics release on omega is stable as **** lol. sometimes I wonder why I always mess with my phone when its working perfectly fine heh. I think the only thing jb brings is a expanded notification bar, and that Google Now thing, which looks cool and I feel all techie using it, but really does nothing for me but getting me all excited thinking i have friends thinking I have a notification ..
thoughts?

multiwindow whaaaa? tell me more
It's pretty cool, on the latest version of jellybean for the s3 you have multi window functionality. Basically I can have 2or more apps open simultaneously for instance browser, gallery and messages.
Indie is supposed to be releasing latest omega version tomorrow

Omega v33. multiwindow, but custom themes and mods from previous versions wont work (atleast based on the Q&A that indie posted)
EDIT: I'm still on v13.1 since i've been too busy to upgrade to jb to deal with changes at the moment (that and I want to make sure I get my "red" theme)

booya. indie rocks!
1 single quirk... the thread title still has Noe instead of Nov... it quirks me every time I see it..
I'm just about to go back to ICS after weeks of battling with battery life on JB ROMs. I used to have 90% battery left after a day in the office on CheckROM v3.5. Now I'm lucky if I have 70% (with the same apps installed, the same sync/location settings and Google Now disabled). I've tried CheckROM v6, various Wanam Lite releases, AnonoROM, Omega and none can come close to matching the battery life I had with ICS.
Back to CheckROM v3.5 I think....

I agree with you about JB battery life being worse than ICS. But damn, if you finish your work day with 70% left, then what exactly is the problem?

Like I said it's 70% if I'm lucky, and have used the phone very little during the day. A few calls and I can easily finish with less than 40% to last an entire evening.

I'm going back to ICS this morning, just flashed LG1 and I'll apply the OTA LH9 update when I get the phone set up. I love JB, it's beautiful, but I hate watching the battery go down right before my very eyes after getting much better battery life on ICS.

[ROM] CM10 port to I317/n7105

[ROM] CM10 port to I317
Link Download
Will work as it is on a n7105 but please note this was ported to I317 which is essentially a n7105.
I have tried the Rom and with the Devs permission may tweak it a little at a latter stage.
Remember to also flash this Kernel after CM10 flash
above is not my work only a link
Please Click to Donate so i can buy a Telstra or Vodapone n7105T to Develop
Hmm .. tried it ... samsung logo just goes flickering after reboot and then blank ... wonder whats missing ...
Did you flash kernel straight after rom flash? Works on my n7105
Yup .. like normal ... Its weird ... Have seen something like this for the first time ... Will try fresh again once have some more time

Fantastic port ! But maybe can fix the buggy UI and 4G keeps disappearing for some weird reason.
that is cool,but CM10 same as android 4.1.2 and lost s-pen function , CM10.1 not stable and more bugs and lost s-pen function,I haven't any idea to use it...
Nvm, just saw your download link was for a thread where everything is explained

Just found out that there is no port for CM10 - aaiiiii.... Upgraded my Note to the N2, and was certain that I could get JELLYBAM rom on it....aargg...must do my homework better.
I look forward to see you dev on this, could be awesome to get a working port that can be used for Paranoid or Jellybam roms.

its a very large file already, for cm
This rom works perfectly on my Note 2 LTE. the only problem that I have was just the Google Play store is not following whatever DPI that you set. Everything looks big in it.
*Maybe* this is also causing me getting "incompatible device" error everytime I download some app (Telstra 24x7 eg
So until someone could resolve the issue, I'd avoid the rom.

New ROM, missing a couple of APKs

Hi Guys
I've just installed a new super lite ROM which seems pretty much perfect EXCEPT i'm missing two features of Samsung's "bloat"ware that I really like:
Blocking Mode
Stay Awake
I've tried Googling and failed miserably to locate these so, can anyone tell me where i can get these please? (Yes I know there are alternatives but i'd like to stay with apps I am happy with and that work for me)

Of they are only apks & libs you could extract them from a stock Rom and put them into yours I guess.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What is the ROM based on?
Is it Sammy or an AOKP based ROM?
If it's Samsung Based, I could take a Titanium Backup of it and send it across to you.

Damn.... why is it the "perfect" ROM never exists. I've been flashing since windows 6.0 and NEVER found a ROM that's 100%
Guess I'll have to look for market place alternatives then.
Thanks for your help!

There is no single perfect rom for everyone.. Everyone is different and has different needs or "cravings"
Thats also why there's so many custom roms out there, to fit your needs (sometimes) If you cant find one, go with stock or learn to make your own.

Need help picking a new ROM!

Hey guys, I'm ready for a change... I want customization... CM 10 would be a good fit but I was wondering if it will work with twrp because I was watching a video that said you have to use clockwork recovery.. So any suggestions?

Twrp will work with AOSP.. Just make sure you update to the latest version.. There are some good choices in AOSP.. I personally like Carbon and Pacman Roms.. RootBox is solid from what some friends tell me..

Alright thanks, I'll check Em out... I kinda want to get chameleon Os.. Just to try it out...

Go for it.. I've tried plenty.. You're always a backup away.. Sometimes I load a ROM and don't set up apps.. Just check it out and decide before I restore.. That's just me.. Lol
