My custom rom compiled from the source cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.0.4 for u8650 GSM
Unofficial CM9 LuckyIcsGsm 4.0.4 ---> google....
OMG!!! Thank you soo much! its amazing!
but I have two problems
1. The call volume is really quiet on the loudest setting, and loudspeaker doesnt work well.
2. Mobile data dosent work, pages just load forever and never actually open.
Other than that, its an amazing rom
Hi
I have posted my custom rom here on xda ----> the link Here
Only hardware bug is Photocamera and Video.....
Beta 5 with bluetooth fixed and other.....
Since i'm new here i can't post on the LuckICSgsm thread, but i'd like to point out these bugs:
1. Can't send SMS to groups
2. Many times incoming calls don't show the caller's name
3. Can't dial frequent numbers (from the frequent numbers tab)
Fix these and the camera and the ROM will be the best out there for this phone, truly outstanding, way better than stock, way faster and stable than any other custom ones out there

I totally agree! I had these problems, but also that the phone calls where really hard to hear.
I will definitely use this rom when these are fixed and the camera works

I'm using a super stable rom "LunarBasic", never crashed, never restart
cyanogen mod 7.2
android 2.3.7
Launcher is slightly slow, animations aren't as smooth and gapps must be installed separately, these are basically the cons

It's stable and all but overall really slow, i'm using GGR next gen with 360 launcher which is a lot faster, the only downside to me is having the settings in a widget and not in the pull down toggle

Hello everybody,
since i am new to android roms, i found the amount of available roms pretty overwhelming, just making it harder for me to choose one that could fit my needs.
I was searching for a feature comparison of the (or some) available roms, something like a table or so, but i wasnt able to find one. Is there something (regularly) updated like this out there?
It would be very nice, if you guys could recommend me some roms to take a look at, or to link some resources for a general overview of different roms!
My (personal) needs for a rom:
Its very important for me, to use a stable rom, which allows usb-debuging because i am developing android games.
I would love to use the latest android version and a rom which allows to update to later versions. And updating without deleting all the installed apps and files would be heaven on earth.
Motion controll is nice, but as far as i could extract from this threads, there is no stock jelly bean rom with this feature enabled, because its Samsung related, is that right?
I hope to find some answers on my questions.
Regards, psdev
Try wannam lite. Its my favorite

Maybe give a shot on Android Revolution HD and also Omega Rom. These roms are my favourite.
I saw that omega rom seems like the most famous one. But as i told i have no idea how it compares to others, could you please explain what it makes it so famous? (is it recently updated, does it has more features...)
But thanks so far for your answers!
Hi All,
Tried searching and cannot find answer as yet so hoping some nice person will advise me best way they can
Whats the difference between AOKP/AOSP/Stock JB?
I love having features especially face detect in gallery?
Can someone advise in short terms?
Thanks!

Stock-Samsung ROM i.e touchwiz
AOSP-Android Open Source Project, this is the pure form of Android that comes pre-installed in all Nexus devices.
AOKP-Android Open Kang Project, based off AOSP but with few more additions/features.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Its all in the stickies thread .

Addition to previous posts:
AOSP: Pure android
AOKP: more customization
Stock: CrapWiz (some may like it)
I prefer AOSP based roms because they are the way Google intended android to be, but no other rom than stock (or stock based) will have samsung features like smartstay.
You can try modified stock rom: have all default options + can add another features

Hi,
my girl friends S3 is actually completely stock and it's so laggish. Many people seem to have this problem. Everywhere they say "install cyanogenmod and it's fast". OK, but CM has no good camera app. For my GF the camera with its filters was the reason for buying it.
So is there a ROM which offers the Samsung Camera app AND fast experience?
(For example, I watched the video of S5 Sensation ROM and it seems to be laggish too.)
No asking for best rom etc. Try them out yourself.

If it would be my phone, I would do so.
Perhaps someone here has had the same issue and found a way out by using another ROM and could share his experience.
It's wrong: CM camera is good, simply the stock one is much better... then is true that on CM builds there is no HDR/HDR+ filter support.
And yes, CM is tremendously faster than any stock or custom Samsung rom (be wary of enthusiasts who say the opposite).
"Thanks" to the TouchWiz, Samsung devices may be laggy, especially when you find that you want a bit more by a smartphone.
TouchWiz is the unremovable proprietary launcher who provide features (often useless) like many gestures and more others.
It's known by me and everyone as a "performance killer".
If an "excellent" camera is the priority, flash the MIUI rom, it provides almost the same Samsung experience and has good reviews.
It's based on the old 4.1.x Android, but receives frequently updates.

It doesn't have much features or filters. That's the problem. And other camera apps from the Play Store are mostly not userfriendly and/or do not have good filters. Personally I prefer the Sony camera app. My GF likes the "antique warm", "antique cold" and "blue point" (translated)

Hmm. I will have a look on it.
Please no specific rom calling or I might have to call a mod here. Just give tips in general types of roms like sammy, aosp etc. Hehe

Nor Samsung stock camera.
Under photo editing (both when and after taking photo) I find grateful the best rated camera apps, and there are a lot.
This probably because developement is concerned only to an app, not to an entire rom such Samsung, CM, MIUI, etc.
So it's an easier work, so you're luckless if you tell me the opposite about, do newly some research.
Then your mentioned three filters who exist in Cyanogen camera too!
And is easy to have lags on a Samsung stock/custom rom, especially when you use many apps, ram is already enough satured by TouchWiz and other proprietary ****ty processes.
Without root permissions you can remove very few things.
While important software upgrades (e.g. from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3) without a data wipe from recovery, are the first cause of lags.

I know the filters from CMs edit function but are you sure these samsung filters are there? I don't have a CM phone here so I can't test it. But as I remember they aren't. Or can you make a screenshot of those filters?
Of course the camera is only an app in a ROM but most stock camera apps can't be used in non-stock ROMs. If I could, I would install CM and install Samsungs or Sonys camera app.
And at last: I did some research for camera apps. Because I wanted to switch to CM too. But there is none which gets me the functions and filters in a user friendly way like the stock app does. But this is a different story.

She doesn't have many apps and I disabled and uninstalled everything she doesn't need. The lag is there and there seems to be no solution to fix it on non-rooted stock. And as told here, there might be no solution with rooted stock :/

Sadly in most of cases it's impossible.
For Samsung camera it's surely impossible due to the ****ing TouchWiz dependence, for Sony camera... may be a port I don't know, search about in XDA-Developers.

I know that's your gf, but don't be too pretentious [emoji6]: Camera Zoom FX, Camera MX, Retrica... a great choice!
Then... you uninstalled "everything she doesn't need", but never Samsung bloatware, nor TouchWiz, because are undeletable without root permissions.
Therefore a Samsung rom without TouchWiz should be unstable and mainly unusable... almost all Samsung system things need TW.
Try QS-Rom 2.5 with boeffla kernel 6.1 beta 3. It is kitkat 4.4.2 ported from note 2. It runs very smooth on my device

Not bad. Perhaps I have to do a lot of persuading. If I create a backup of her current ROM+data she could test it and I can easyly go back if she doesn't like it.

AOSP roms do not have the superior image quality compared to touchwiz so keep that in mind. They look the same quality with Touchwiz in the camera app but after you take it, the quality becomes bad.

Ah ok, so your gf need to be persuaded... there are two way of full backup: Nandroid via recovery (with root) and "adb" via computer (without need to root).
I never used last method, so device must be rooted.
You have simply to flash CF-Root via Odin and be sure that latest Samsung drivers are installed in your PC.
Will be flashed also the SuperSU root manager... and a CWM recovery, which is all your gf need to backup [emoji41]
Boot in recovery and choose backup and restore voice by moving menu with volume keys and clicking with power button.
At least choose if you prefer internal or external memory: I don't know gf data, but almost 3-4 free GB are surely required.
When operation is completed, flash the coming CyanogenMod 11 M10 (some day and will be released, be patient! [emoji6]).
If she'll hate CM, a simple Nandroid restore by recovery... but note that device will be already rooted.
At this point I suggest your gf to switch to a custom Samsung rom, always better than the stock due to different many optimizations and updates provided by developer (prohibited by Samsung for rooted devices).
ARHD, Omega, Imperium, ArchiDroid (for a 4.4 rom ported from Note 2, may be less stable)... a great choice!
I hope I was exhaustive... and don't forget to tell your gf about the geek hero who have spent a lot of time for her [emoji6]
Have a good day

You are extreme about.
In 3 weeks of holiday I did lots of photos.
The only AOSP camera limits actually are the worst stabilization and potential banding in night photos, but with steady hand in favorable ambient conditions I obtained masterpieces.
Is true, as camera quality Samsung is "a bit" better, but speak about "bad quality" referred to AOSP, is a bull****.
I said enough, I can leave this topic... be careful not to ramble.

go for S4 Revolution
I've changed from CM 10.2 to NeatROM v.7.4 and I have NOTHING to say against it. Very fast and good battery performance!
Maybe when CM releases the CM 11 stable version I will think to flash it again.
About rooting, I don't like CF-Root. I prefer Philz Touch :S
