[Q] Trying to find a ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, my first thread here.
I flashed a custom ROM on my galaxy s3 i9300 a wile ago, and I am trying to find it now. I cant remember its name.
What I do remember is that the ROM came with Stweaks installed, and it had somw kind of installation tool whwre you could choose what tweaks you wanted to get installed, and what kernel you wanted to use as welk as what launcher you wanted.
If somebody knows the name, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like any other rom around. Stweaks preinstalled means it comes with eother siyah or some other kernel supporting stweaks. The fact that you could customize your installations means it had aroma which all touchwiz roms have.
Impossible to tell what rom you had with that info.

You also didnt have to download new versions of the rom to update it, you just had to update the installer.
Dont know if this info helps at all :/

Nope, I haven't the slightest idea what rom it could be. Complete out of the blue:
Omega?
Criskelo?
Did it come with the Nature UX (stock touchwiz) theme as default or some aosp theme? Was it ICS or JB?

Hah, what a lucky shot.
Back in the day, Omega and Criskelo were the ones renowned for their installation setups. ^^

You're welcome
I think criskelo has sold his S3, there hasn't been any development in ages.

Aww :/
Actually, what I was first trying to do is see if I could somehow keep the stock samsung apps (messages, gallery, camera...) on CM10.1, cause I didn't like its stock android apps too much, but I liked the themes for CM haha I guess you can't exactly do that with CM so I was looking for another more stock rom. Too bad I can't install those CM themes cause there are some really sweet ones.

Cm themes won't work with Sammy roms and Sammy apps won't work with cm
Flash Omega maybe? Completely stock is boring but Omega's awesome

Hm that sounds interesting
So the CM themes wont work with omega, but its a nice touchwiz rom?

Yes Omega is nice. It's got like 13 themes you can install ^^
I'm using the plain old tw theme though.

Pure ICS?

Ive tried out many roms both aokp and aosp as well as stock, but is there a rom out there that is just pure ics? Eg stock minus touchwiz and Samsung apps and nothing else changed?

Try the likes of SlimICS in the Original Android Development section. It, however, has quite a few apps removed, or you could use a stock ICS ROM, install Apex Launcher, and Root Explorer, delete Samsung Apps and the Touchwiz Launcher and keep all your favourites. Simple!

There is actually a rom called "pure ics", Did you even bother searching?
Why would you even want pure ICS when you can have CM9?
Clearer definitions needed.
By "pure ICS" and "stock" do you mean AOSP-like or the stock firmware that came on the handset in the first place?

AOSP like would be ultimate. Just a stock 4.0.3 rom that has had all samsung addons removed. Basically what a Galaxy Nexus has. All of the custom roms I have seen (even the so called Pure ICS rom) have been modified to perform better or adjust battery life, themed etc.
I would just like to try a pure ics as released by Google, I'd that's possible. Thank you.

Thank you. I have also seen that rom and it says in the description that it contains under the hood tweaks ans changes to make aosp better.... lol. Maybe there's no such rom that is just pure aosp

And not to discredit any developers on xda who say they have improved the os, I just feel.... if they know better than Google, why don't they work for Google and make piles of money improving Android?

[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?

[Q] is there a MIUI like rom for the SGSIII?

hey guys,just moved from Motorola Atrix to SGSIII today...i used MiUi v4 on my atrix,and loved it very much...
so my question is there any sgs3 miui like rom?
on the screenshots in the dev area they all look almost the same...
thanks for any answer
Right now there isn't a MIUI rom for the SGS3. ROMs available are either pure Android or Touchwiz based. However now that CM9 is in nightly build status, I am sure someone will start to work on a MIUI port.
Not a ROM, but there is a Miui launcher in the play store.
thanks fellas...now that you say it,i think i'm gonna try and learn some rom porting)) maybe i can port MIUI to SGS3 myself

I tried it, still didn't like it.
No app drawer and bad translations everywhere = no bueno.
Its very visually appealing apart from the launcher and the translations tho.

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.

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.

If it is not Samsung based but aokp it won't work as it needs Samsung framework.

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!

Try null Rom, using it now for some time and it combines somehow aokp and Samsung features quite well

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.

Would LOVE it if someone could bring this awesome rom to our Galaxy S3's!

Nah its not the same. That is based on Wanam which is a Samsung based rom. This is based on CM source.
