Hello,
I came here desperate for answers that could solve my problem with "M-signature" not working on custom (not SAM-based) ROMs.
"M-signature" (aka "Mobile ID") is a way to connect to bank via phone (you get a special personal SIM card, you go to your e-banking site, enter your phone number, get a pop-up message on phone screen (see attached), enter PIN on the phone and voila - connected into e-bank).
This "M-signature" works on Stock Rom, also on Samsung based ROMs: null_ ROM v25, NeatROM EMC2, UltimaRom v11, but doesn't work with AOSP (Slim Bean, Dragon SlimBean), AOPK/CM (Pac-man), MIUI (_miui.polymorph_)...
Problem is I love Slim Bean or Pac-man and can't really get used to sam-based (they're ugly, i find them slower, battery not appealing, etc.) - could I find a way to make that "M-signature" work on AOSP/AOPK/CM ROMs??
Biggest thanks in advance.

It shouldn't act like that, android app should be compatible with everything running an android, not only samsung. Unless it's dedicated only to GT-I9300.
I know this won't solve your issue but there are plenty of samsung-based roms with really cool aosp themes, bunch of tweaks and really well made. I don't want to recommend my own work but take a look if you wish, perfect example of stock rom with non-stock look.

Thnx JustArchi for answer (at least somebody wrote smth ).
That is not an app - it's a SIM card "feature" (a special, associated with my personal info (from my passport) SIM card which, I guess initiates those "pop-up messages").
It works this way: you go to www.example-mybank.com, enter there my ID and phone number, then (i guess) the special SIM card pushes a message "do you want to connect" (and shows control code to be sure it's your connection), enter your special PIN, and SIM card gives command to my bank "OK, let him in, it's really <Evaldino>" and the e-bank opens up for me
So, I guess it's something with "SIM services" (don't know how to call them - I'm a noob user), which work only on Stock or Sam-based ROMs, so perhaps CM/AOSP/MIUI lack a "module" or smth for these "SIM services" to work...
Also, this M-signature works on all smart devices (not only Samsung, not only Android, also on iOS, maybe even WinOS).
I see no other option as to try those SAM-based (though not really happy about that), so I'll definetely look into your ROM (I like 240DPI, circular battery, if only 4x4 pattern lock for locking screen), because for ex. on ReVolt (Sam-based, yes?) "m-signature" doesn't work (though I kind of liked this ROM)..
To be honest I'm surprised it works at all on a rooted device bearing in mind security etc....many banking apps/features won't work, especially with insecure kernel....I guess for a good reason...although not being particularly tech I wouldn't like to even attempt to explain why!
Please mind you that it may work on AOSP like the nexus builds but not work on CM based roms as they change ALOT of the AOSP code. That includes alot of the security protocols.

But I tried my beloved Slim Bean (AOSP based, right?) - not working.. maybe it's "too much changed" AOSP? What i9300 ROM is "purest" AOSP - I'll try?

There are no pure aosp roms for most devices. They all use something from CM. Be it kernel or some of the coding as aosp only supports the nexus line as a base. Everything else is a fork.

Actually I just flashed this one [ROM][Mar 17] Jellybean 4.2.2 for Endeavoru AOSP Build [Kernel 3.1.10] [JDQ39] #19 and at last it works! Will try to use this ROM for some time to be sure everything works, but it at least the biggest problem is solved.
By the way, I forgot to mention in my first post, I'm on HTC One X (International version with Tegra), but hope there is a workaround for SIII too.
For Samsung Galaxy Mini there is AOSP ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413108)

This is a call out to all existing and future developers of Xperia MDPI Devices.
For about a month now there is an app called Update Me Smartphone, which basically gives OTA update functionality for our Custom Roms.
From 01/05/2012 the developer of this app has given it a very interesting feature. You can view all Roms compatible with the Update Me Smartphone application. Even though you get a list a bunch of irrelevant devices, I suppose if we all "help" him with our suggestions he can make an application that will be on par with the Rom Manager app for devices that are fully supported by CWM.
To make this as simple as possible....
User "A" wants to download a new Rom for his Xperia MDPI Device. He has already downloaded and flashed a custom kernel (whether this is a Stock Kernel, or a CM kernel), then proceeds to download the app, install it and browse any compatible Rom's with his device... From then on his device will stay updated, through the Update Me application providing OTA updates of the Rom he has installed. If he wished to download another rom (compatible with the kernel he has - there are 3 Different Kernels AFAIK: GB CM, ICS CM, GB-ICS Stock Sony Kernel) he will just proceed to download the latest version of the rom he has selected straight to his device. No need to download to your computer, then connect the device, then copy it, then flash it. If you have the compatible kernel already installed, then its easy as pie.
Please let me know of your thoughts on this...
Edit: Link to the application's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590170
Edit 2: Apart from Rom's we can also implement various mods, tweaks, fixes, etc for our devices. Even though that would be extremely hard, due to the fact that all these files need to be stored in a direct download location like Dropbox, its is a viable option.
OMG I love the idea, that would be awesome!!
It's very interesting, thanks a lot for the info I will try it!
Some modification: In GB we have 3 different kernel (Stock Based, CM Based, MIUI Based [not released yet]). In ICS we don't have Stock based to Xperia MDPI, because Sony don't released yet the stock for us. So we have CM9 based, AOSP based (it's work with CM9 ROMs btw), and ported Stock based.
Some another notice: I saw a lot of thread (not only in this forum), but sooo many people trying to make ROMs. It's not a problem, but some guy don't know some full minimum things... So who will help this guys to add this app to their ROMs?
Are you using a different Kernel for the Sony ICS rom port? I mean the Ramdisk is the same size and you're using the same zImage from a stock GB rom correct?
Well nobody is forced to do this. All we have to do is provide the app developer a link with the update_me_check.xml so that he will sort of add a link for that in the application.
By the way, i now got my goo.im account, and this have own OTA app. I will try it, and I will report.
But I know, this is not only OTA app... Hmm... I need to think in it

Thanks Nadavs10, I think a FAQ is a good idea ... the point is how to ensure every newbie reads it before posting ...
I think it would be nice to join or at least to link this with another FAQ it was started in badadroid project page http://code.google.com/p/badadroid/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
Some comments:
Does it work for Wave II? YES! Many people ask over and over again the same question. Voice calling works now for Wave II too. If there’s something that isn’t the same for both devices, I will write it.

Is it legal? Everything is legal except gapps. Decide for yourself.

Both badadroid and gapps are "legal", the difference is licensing model, so developers share badadroid open source code and binaries based in other open source code (android, aries ....) but they do not share gapps as it is google propietary. It is not ilegal to install gapps, but it should be ilegal to include it in badadroid package without google permision, so you have to install it separately.
There are many ROMs like Nand/LS Smook/moviNand. What are these, and what’s the difference? I’ll tell you the truth, I don’t really understand it. If someone knows it would be great for some comment here."

I am not an expert, but I am trying to share as I understand:
There are different "custom rom android flavors" (Cyanogenmod, AOKP, MIUI,...) as some communities/developers make some modifications in android source code. Just one example googling http://www.phonearena.com/news/Meet-the-best-custom-ROMs-for-Android_id44353
There are different badadroid roms as some developers try to optimize some points:
--Volk204's CM10.1 rom (and previously Rebellos' CM10) uses the same fota for booting, and it uses "standard" internal storage in our waves, so the uninstallation procedure is simple (another zip through CWM).
--Tigrouzen FnF SD (sorry if the name or some detail is wrong) uses special fota for booting, and it uses Nand memory/external SD storage with SD card partioned. http://code.google.com/p/badadroid/wiki/HardwareDocumentation#Memory Nand is a special memory in our waves that has to be written in a special way, and it is faster, so the unistallation procedure is a full flash of bada firmware. Tigrouzen's rom is more performance oriented and better for game players as far as I know.

Tigrouzen's rom is based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project) wich is basically, a build of the vanilla android sources released by google and the others implicated in the Android primary developement. (even if, tigrouzen included in his rom some code from CM to allow a better customization of the ROM, and so, it's a little bit different from pure AOSP)
Cyanogenmod is a modified open source android rom... it have some major changes in the code itself (compared to AOSP), in the library it uses, etc... it allow a higher personalisation of the UI than the original AOSP rom. (see their official website to find more info about the cyanogenmod project...)
And I would finally said that yes, tigrouzen's rom is released with an high optimisation care (resulting in a really smooth rom) while volk's rom: works on both wave I and II, I would say that it is a little bit more stable (but that's mainly because it's less often udated, several tigrouzen's updates resulted in an broken functionality (see the bluetooth problems in the AOSP thread) wich he quickly fixed anyway.) and I would say (except for the last "mic in call" update) more "hardware development" oriented (that's just my feeling, but it seems to me that volk (and rebellos) are focusing on the perspective of bringing a fully working android sytem to the wave rather than on the optimization of their existing incomplete system. (and honnestly, it's not a bad thing, it keep general development ongoing)).

i am from those people who have problem in wave2 battery like
after restart battery drains to zero or similar level
random shut down problem
so
i have done an experiment which help me thats why i'm sharing it
first of all these problems are because of battery as i think so
1.first remove the battery
2.spin on flat surface if it spin then you can do nothing but replace your battery
3.if doesn't spin check its point of connection and remove any dust or rust
3.last but not least if any thing doesnt work
then
take a "soledring ion" and solder each connecting point of your battery seperately dont let them touch each other so that solder cover connecting points.
now put your battery in phone and test it work or not i.e. your problem solved or not
sorry for bad english
and do it on your own risk and carefully
Asop or badadroid
I'm currently using the ASOP NAND ROM created by Tiguorzen, however it has some call problems similar to old badroid ROM so I'm wondering whether I should shift to badroid project as it seems to get regular updates and ASOP ROM seems like abandoned by tigo(hope not) but ASOP is undobtly the fastes and most streamlined ROM not sure abouy the latest badadroid though.
Hey guys,
I know there are many best ROM threads out there as well as many flavors suitable for all needs. Personally, I just don't have the time test everything until I find the perfect ROM.. So I hope you guys can help me choose a good one considering the list below..
I'm currently using CM11 and although it's a great lightweight rom I miss many basic Samsung stock functions (swipe to call, palm to mute, etc..). I also know some apps should solve this but IMO they don't..
So, I'm looking for a Samsung based rom that's:
- easily installed by pc or cwm recovery
- stable and preferably bug/freeze fix free with everything working
- lightweight and widely supported
- although not essential, preferably with nightlies updates
- either s5 or mini s5 based
- android 4.4.2 or higher
And I think that's it. Thanks in advance.
There are not many 4.4 tw roms to try. Best bet would be to read the threads and see what the user's think. See what the problems are ect ect
Well thought I would pose the question as curious as to where to go next with our S2's
What are the advantages of the different versions of Android on the S2's and their sub versions??
What I mean by subversions is quite simple really 4.1.2 over say aosp 4.1.2?
We are on 4.1.2 Chameloen (me) 4.1.2 stock rooted(partner)
curios as to whether there's any point moving especially as kitkat onwards there no write to sd which is frigging STUPID!!!!
looking forward to your thoughts and opinions folks...

Hey,
Samsung doesn't officially release any changelogs, but if you prefer Samsung base roms, i recommend those with their latest base for security purposes and improved user interface (hopefully!)
There main difference between AOSP/AOKP and regular Samsung ROMs are that AOSP teams aren't part of Samsung.
AOSP aims to give people access to the latest of the Android world, as you can see that you can run lollipop on S2, without AOSP teams this wouldn't be even remotely possible as Samsung wants you to buy newer phones. So in that sense AOSP is a great tool.
But Samsung is the company that can ensure stability on their ROMs while AOSP still are nightly (beta) versions with lot of bugs, small maybe but lots.
AOSP/AOKP - Access
Samsung - Stability
If you refrain from using kitkat because of the sd card bug, don't worry. There are many apps and xposed modules that can fix the issue by granting full access to the external sd card.

I'm still on jellybean so i don't know even if it will show "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." if you have a kitkat rom, since its not official rom. Therefore the Xposed module is much more preferrable imo.
I can't offer any personal guarantees as whether it works or not.

The first kitkat builds had, for some strange reason, disallowed access to external sd cards, if any. Needless to say many people were not happy, and it wouldn't surprise me if the later builds removed this bug.
But if you have this bug, it basically means you can't use your external sdcard for anything unless you have root.

This is something I've always wanted for my G3, a vanilla ROM that's always up to date with the latest Android version, but without any "extras" and "features" seen in typical ROMs. I don't like having to deal with frequent ROM updates that add new features/create new problems. I just want a clean ROM that works like a Nexus device.
Why does this not exist?

(If it already exists I have not come across it yet)

When you say vanilla I'm assuming you mean AOSP, in that case we do have cm12.1, but I don't know if that's what you mean when it comes to "frequent ROM updates"
But if you're asking as to why we don't have a stock 5.1 ROM, that would be because LG hasn't released a base for it yet

CM is not aosp based, it's cm based.
Yes, the argument could be made that everything starts with aosp, but AFAIK there is little true aosp left in cm, and mostly custom cm code.
As for the op,
You get what devs decide to build. Your question is borderline offensive.

This is something I've always wanted for my G3, a vanilla ROM that's always up to date with the latest Android version, but without any "extras" and "features" seen in typical ROMs. I don't like having to deal with frequent ROM updates that add new features/create new problems. I just want a clean ROM that works like a Nexus device.

Well, you could always start a stock rom, root it, and use Titanium Backup to remove any feature you don't want and arrive to a "vanilla ROM". The ROM development is a hobby for the dev, so of course there are "frequent ROM updates". By the way, LG has not released the 5.1 yet, they are still on 5.0.1 (23c).

Been using validus for days. Works great. No freezes. Don't use the features if you don't want em.
