Hey guys, I'm a big fan on stock android. I know this phone has sense but is there any way a stock android jellybean pull down could be modded on to this? Also what are the chances we will get a aosp rom on the DNA?

This has been discussed pretty extensively if you do a short search of aosp or cm or any other varient within the forum.
Anyway, the stock android notification is a part of the framework so it could theoretically be themed to look similar but would still be a bastaurdized sense modification. In order to attain the original aosp notification we will need an aosp rom and for that we need kernel source which weve got and the RIL which is being worked on. Also we will need a few bits and peices that are missing from source for this device. It will likely happen but as of now there is no timeline.
hope that clears things up!

Thanks man. Sorry for not searching. I'll deal with sense until things are worked out with aosp. Thanks again.
No worries just a good habit to search! 95% of the time someone has had the same question. Just prevents clutter happy flashing and hope your enjoying the phone as much as a i am!

If you want(not wants) that notification bar,the best solution is to buy a Touchwiz UX 2 enabled Samsung device(as the S4).
I saw a similar mod for Galaxy S with Cyanogenmod 10.1.If you are using this Custom ROM,it may work,but not sure.

Don't be so harsh!I said that it's the best solution.No that it is the only solution.I saw it on Galaxy S with CM 10.1 if you read my post.If you are so defensive,do you know how to make it on stock JB?
I was nice enough in my post.If you don't admit that the best solution is to buy a device with that feature,then it's your fault.
Alright guys, we should wait for development.

I'm not being "harsh", I'm being realistic. People buy phones they want and phones they CAN afford. They didn't settle for less because they were forced to. I appreciate the gesture of replying but if you really are a serious enthusiast about android then you wouldn't say that. Although I can't agree that the best solution is to buy a newer-gen device just for a feature that can easily be replicated. I can do the same on PAC-ROM with NO code changes and just a few PNGs to make the "look" as for making it work for STOCK 4.1.2, Here's what I got: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315342
You're Welcome. The title says it's for GB but someone made it work for ICS(4.0+) which has a similar code base to JB(4.1) I'm not sure but that's what the OP has posted. The OP also said that he may be supporting JB 4.1 "soon" I can only speculate because I haven't tried it firsthand because I have no free time.

You are right,I'm not an Android enthusiast,that's why I'm the one who's realistic.Even with those code and .png changes,these don't look like on a device that supports natively that feature(not so polished).That's why,by comparaison, the best solution is to get a device that supports natively that feature(only if you have money).And he made that guide for JB 4.1.2 too.
I wasn't replying like an iPhone owner,but to get a feature to look perfectly like S4's,for example,is hard,because that feture is originaly made by a team of developers that are paid to make it work and look very good.

Hey
I'm looking for Google edition ROMs. Is there a website where Google serves their ROMs? I've searched but couldn't find anything. I also searched on XDA but couldn't find it.
Anyone know where to download their ROMs?
Thanks,
Steala
If you are talking about AOSP from Google the Galaxy S3 isn't a part of that program, the S4 however is, if you want a stock-looking ROM I recommend SuperNexus ROM or Cyanogenmod
As above, there's no google edition for SGS3. Your best shot is latest CyanogenMod and Paranoid Android GAPPS (Full nexus package).
Thanks guys!

There is an unofficial Google Edition ROM for S3. Try Ultimarom. It's based on Samsung firmware, but with AOSP elements and theme. You get the AOSP experience without losing the Samsung camera and multiwindow implementation.

Considering the Google Edition ROMs found on the S4 and HTC One are essentially skinned versions (hybrid style) of those devices' stock ROMs, I think it may partially be what he is looking for. I mean, he makes no mention of AOSP, so how you could deduce that my suggestion is totally not what he is looking for is beyond me.
Anyway, hope OP finds what he is looking for!

For me Google Edition is pure AOSP, without Sammy's features, as it would be pointless to call it google edition then.
But that's just my definition, maybe we have different ones.
Agreed with archi. The one that actually gets closest to google roms is supernexus
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Gotta chime in here... I'd agree with Archi. On my S4, I'm running the Google Edition ROM, because I don't want/need any of Samsung's stuff.
But that said, I've done my best to ensure that UltimaROM is as slim as you want it to be, including running many AOSP apps natively.

OP can try slimbean or carbon, but I'd not recommend it. If you want pure google feeling, you can try cm, but nothing else. They are worthless, unfortunately: laggy, slow, draining battery, and tbh offers nothing. And maybe we have the same problem: we want a ROM that works great, fast, but has some features. I don't need the samsung bloatware either. (But I like tw and the tw camera)
You should try the miui rom by ihackers. It's not AOSP (Google "feeling"), but a beast, no battery draining, no samsung bloatware and the UI is beautiful. I think it's worth a try.
If you're looking for the pure google feel only, please ignore my post.

To be really honest with you all, I am not at all too technical when it comes to Android, ROMs and all the rest, so when you say AOSP, I don't have too much of an idea as to what you mean. But, I heard about Google edition ROMs and I know it comes without the Samsung bloatware. But there are a few Samsung features I still want.. Like, NFC, S Beam etc...

Read general > sticky roll-up thread > understanding the basics before rooting. Got everything you need to know and also includes a glossary which explains what aosp means
Nfc is not a samsung feature.

Yep, I agree with you Again, tis why I run the GE ROM on my S4. I don't really want the instability of Cyanogen (potential) and I just want stuff to work.
I'm working on something cool for the S3, though Hopefully I can pull it off.
The most "google edition" ROM I know is SuperNexus, which is now at version 3.0, Android 4.3

First and foremost, I absolutely don't want anyone to think I'm complaining about developers or anything like that. I certainly appreciate everyone's hard work when they are putting together roms for any phone.
That being said, I am just curious why there are so few roms for the T-mobile Galaxy S5. I had the S1-S4 for Sprint and all of them had tons and tons of roms. All those roms had lots of theme work and unique items. I am not seeing any of that on the T-mobile side. Is this variant preventing that or is there just not enough love for it?
Just as an example.. check out these rom for the sprint S5....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/rom-team-nocturnalunofficalcm-11-0-t2883072
There is not too much of a difference between two touchwiz Roms. Its pointless to have same thing packadged with different names. I love the couple of options that are available in T-Mobile.
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
In order for the rom to work with wifi calling it has to retain the touchwiz base, and like ceo.mtcl said theres only so much you can change. There is a CM rom available for the device, i gave it a test run on my G900T. It ran great but without wifi calling its almost useless to me
ok so am i missing something in these roms? none of them look any different than a stock rom. All of the icons are the same, the fonts are the same the notification panel is the same, there isn't any theming (sp? lol). Everyone defaults to use some wanam (which didnt work at all for me), but that's pretty limited. I'm sad in my pants right now lol....

Have you checked the Unified Development section? And yes, since the arrival of Xposed, members can now do a lot to their phones rather than the developer spend 100's of hours themeing all the elements of a ROM and have a post every other day saying "it is too blue". It is comments like that that have pushed developers into saying "why bother". You cannot make everyone happy with how you theme something and members forget that these ROMs are made for the developers, and they decided to share...it is not their jobs and they are not getting paid for those ROMs. But NOW the power is in your hands thanks to Wanam and everyone working on toolboxes to allow you to do more. Not enough? There a several icon changing apps on Play. There is also Themer. Add that to all the awesome flagship phones released almost every 9 months by many manufacturers. A lot of developers have wanted a challenge so tried something new and changed manufacturers. So yeah...you won't see 30 TW ROMs anymore.
Also add Verizon and AT&T with locked bootloaders discouraging developers.

While I agree with Kenny on his viewpoint, I see go blues point as well. I, personally, prefer a more pure aosp rom myself. There is a lack of aosp development/releases for our device. I'm still running srock/unrooted, until a solid aosp rom drops, which I believe hasn't happened yet due to kernel development? Icons are themed and running ADW launcher to change icons and themes to keep things clean, but themes are still limited. Don't get me wrong, love the s5, mad respect and thanks to all the devs doing their work, but I see his point. Cheers!

Looks like a lot of the "flavors" of AOSP are covered: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development
My guess is there would be a lot more if the bigger 2 carriers AT&T and Verizon hadn't made AOSP impossible with their locked bootloaders. That would seem to be the main reason for lower development after the S3s.
Reason also is the S5 is not as popular as thought, many were sold, but to users that could care less about doing custom roms, and the age group is probably the younger crowd. The OS is simply awful.
Correct me if I'm wrong, we can probably flash the ones from unified development no?

yes you can as long as you dont care about tripping knox.
But be warned, Make sure you only flash something that is designed for the s5 and something that has been tested and works on the s5.. You can still brick the phone if you make some stupid mistakes or decisions.
Remember that Flashing the phone is your responsibilty. So if you screw up and brick, dont blame anyone for your mistakes. Reading and searching is your best friend, before you flash anything to your phone.
Yeah to flash anything from there you would have needed a custom recovery this tripping the Knox counter.
Even if there were aosp roms for our specific device, I doubt that would be different. Since aosp roms all have custom kernels that would trip Knox anyway

Look 2 posts above yours. I already linked to that section...the answer is yes.
I live in a area where I need wifi calling, so.. I've never had the option to be free with ROMs, really sucks .. what I want, is a Nexus... or a One Plus phone, but I'm stuck.. what can ya do lol
I know how OP feels, i personally will be getting the Nexus 6 when it releases or the Z3 and retiring the galaxy s5
I appreciate the hard work the few devs we have working on our phone have been doing but this is like the galaxy note 2 community imho, i got the phone with the hopes that the community will be like the galaxy s4
in addition to the unified ROM's i have been able to get a ton of these TW roms to work on my tmobile s5 simply by flashing a t mobile kernal right after the rom

@The Sickness
I saw how far i9300 went. We but we stuck here... Yes of course, AOSP developement continues. But I think TW6 looks more elegant than any other TWs and AOSP. I saw many s5 themed roms but they are far away from s5 (only statusbar but even it is not completely)
So again.. I am asking, can we make whole s5 ui? AOSP or SAMMY it doesn't matter.

It's possible, but it will require a lot of work. You could ask one of the recognized themers for our device but the chances are they don't have time to do this work now.
