Hi,
Good day
I'm looking for an android app which is basically a NOTIFIER that is always on top of any running applications
(like Floating Notification, GO Toucher etc) but what I am specifically looking for is a function that:
For example - I am playing games, when someone SMS/FB Chat/Email/IMO etc... me, it pops up on my current screen then what I want is I can directly reply WITHOUT closing or alt-tabbing the game. Hope it is clear enough.
I don't know what search tag should I use because typing "pop up notifier" seems too broad or it does not have what I am looking for.
Hope you can help me
Thanks!
I am using Galaxy S3 Omega ROM v45 if you must know.
Try installing a custom ROM such as Paranoid Android. It has halo which is exactly what you're looking for.

Hi heslo,
This is a very useful info.
Thanks mate but i think this will be my last resort because installing another ROM is a pain in a butt. hehe~
But you know, if its an APP pre-loaded in Paranoid ROM, I think I can extract that and install in mine?
Don't think it will work with stock type ROM. Installing another ROM is not hard to do Lol. Just remember to wipe data/system/cache/dalvik cache. Once you install a Paranoid Android or any other AOSP/AOKP ROM you will like it much more. Halo is a great app, plus all the other great features. Look it up on YouTube plenty of videos on it plus I'm sure a few tutorials on how to install custom ROMs for your device :good:

3rd party apps cant do this. That's why floating notifications doesn't do it. Requires lots of other framework and system ui changes. Only HALO does this

I'm trying to read up and figure out what the best root/rom is for the Galaxy Tab. I'm not new to rooting -- I've got an Evo 4G and a Nook Color both rooted and running custom ROMs.
Really, honestly - I like the Honeycomb in the Tab 10.1, except the Touchwiz launcher. That thing bugs the crap out of me - *it never goes away*. Watch a video in fullscreen? Sure, fullscreen except the launch bar. OH hey, I'll take out the icons, but I'll still be here.
I'm sure I'd probably like ICS at some point, when it's more stable -- but for now, I'd be content with a custom ROM that is honeycomb-like, close to stock - but where I can ditch the touchwiz garbage. Is stable, isn't flaky, or filled with a ****-ton of skulls and retarded sound notifications made by a 13 year old death-head.
So - any suggestions?
edit: as a side note, I want things to work like AllShare, Netflix, Youtube, etc. I've used different DLNA apps in the past, and frankly I think Allshare is the smoothest of the bunch. Sucks that we don't have Hulu+ for the tab, but I can do without that.

Just got it flashed and everything appears to be working just fine aside from the camera (which is mentioned in the post regarding this ROM), but other than that... It's pretty smooth, man. Not gonna lie.
Galaxy task 14 works PERFECT smooth as butter, that fat version has all the bloat included, the slim has it all taken out but you can pick and choose to put stuff back

Hi there,
I'm currently considering switching from a Samsung-based ROM to an AOSP-based ROM. Before doing so though, I'd like to check which Samsung / pre-installed apps will not work on an AOSP-based ROM (even if I transfer them using Titanium Backup), so I'd be grateful if someone could tell me. Also, which features would I lose doing so?
Then: If I decide to switch, can someone give me some tips as to which ROM to use? I'd prefer something lightweight, smooth, clean and stable based on Jelly Bean AOSP with some useful mods already installed. On my Desire I used Redux and Oxygen but I have no idea which SGS3 ROMs are like that.
TIA

Regarding your first question the apps which are installed by Sammy require tw framework to work.. So may not work on aosp... You can try though but you will get fcs.. Regarding third party apps such as drop box, flipboard they will work.. But you can anyways get them in play store..
You will loose Sammy specific features such as smart stay, swipe to call, and other motion gestures..
I can't comment on the second part as there are no best ROMs, you will have to try them yourselves or read and compare the OP

Thanks for the reply. As for ROM tips, I'm not asking for the best, I'm just asking for tips for lightweight, fast, stable and clean ROMs - preferably ones updated regularly - so I can have a look and choose myself.
I want to use Cyanogen or Slimbean etc. but I frigging hate the Camera app and I really hate the clock app too. I really don't want to use an official rom for my phone but I really cannot part with those apps.
Is there anyway I can use something like Titanium Backup to save the .apk and just overwrite it over the Cyanogen/Slimbean one instead?
I can't stress how badly I need to do this, it's the deal-breaker of Cyanogen.. I've never tried it before but I don't want to waste a couple of hours flashing and revamping to find that I can't do it.. :/
Has anyone tried? I can't find another thread over it... just on the HTC camera app.

AFAIK you can't. The camera app on Stock rom is a touchwiz based app. Won't be compatible with CM
What if I move touchwiz with me? You mean the launcher right, or is that something different completely :/ is there really no way to even try and get it working as a beta? I mean it's leagues ahead of Cyanogen's Camera app and I take so many pictures with my phone... I really miss those options.
Touchwiz is not just the launcher. Its the name of the software framework running on the phone (android x.x + all the other stuff including the interface, camera, messaging apps etc. Since the camera app is part of that, it's impossible to port it to for example cyanogenmod.
You should just wait for android 4.2 to be ported to the s3. As far as i have seen the camera works great with many options !
(Fairly) new S2 user here. Gotta say, coming from an Apple device, Android is leagues ahead.
I've got a particular question regarding the music player in Samsung's stock 2.3.6/4.0.4. Is it possible to use either of these with a Jelly bean ROM? I've tried installing them both at random times, and the phone will immediately state "App Not Installed." However, I've seen people do the same thing for other stock samsung apps that work just fine.
If it helps, I'm running Jellybam 3.3.0. Patiently waiting for their servers to come back from the dead so I can get 4.0.0
Thanks in advance!

He use JellyBam.
Man, use the sony walkman that i think came with jellybam or install google play from store.
I was using that before buy poweramp that is the best player on last 12 months.
You can also try Xenoamp beta from xda. Search for it.
About sansung apps you do need to know 1 thing.
There are 2 kinds of Roms.
1- official sansung release base
2- aosp roms
Exclusive Apps from 1 wont work on 2.
Not a big deal cuz there is better options out there.

I got the player to work from another rom.

Check this thread - I installed this in my root folder and it works. The only thing iffy is the search function which if you select from the "suggested" items that pop up - crashes the app. But if you type it in and hit the search button (not the suggested) it works flawlessly.

Used it on CM Mod9,10. JellyBAM, and AOKP roms.
All working except for that small bug in the search.
:laugh:
You guys should check out Mediamonkey, it's pretty bad ass.

I never installed a custom ROM, so before I start my own adventure I'd like to ask if you guys would like to share your experience with me.
My goal would be to find a clean and bloatware free alternative. I love how nice and smooth some of my Nexus devices work and would be cool to see such a thing running on the Razr Maxx too, with all that battery power. I'm happy with the design and look of the stock ROM so I am not looking for any fancy changes, just something like Stock ROM without any unncessary packages.
I hope such a thing exists and that it might somehow boost the battery usage efficiency, otherwise I guess I'll just keep on going with root and freeze anything I don't like.
Some info on my device:
System version - 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU
Model number - XT910
Android version - 4.1.2
Baseband version - U_04.10.00R
Webtop version - wt-3.0.0
Thank you for you time.
Cyanogenmod is an obvious starting point.

If you do like stock ROM, then I'd say flash a stock based custom ROM instead.
It gives you the advantage to use HDMI or webtop if you ever need.
Not that I'm saying anything against CM11.

Slimkat is one of the most bloatware free, hence its name, slim ROM, i use it as Dalí driver and dont have issues plus i great battery life, if this is your first time, i suggest you watch some vídeos about how to flash Roms on safestrap 3.65.

Thanks, slimkat will be my first attempt then.
For a start I'll start following what this guy here says: link
So far I tried:
Cyanogenmod
cm-10.1.2-umts_spyder - problems with aosp keyboard
cm-10.1.3-umts_spyder - problems with aosp keyboard
cm-11-20140319-NIGHTLY-umts_spyder - didn't quite like it
Slim Jelly Bean
Slim-umts_spyder-4.3.build.2.2-UNOFFICIAL-20131119-1959 - it only has nova launcher as default display manager
So in a moment I'll try out MoKee
Anyway, thanks for the initial input everyone. At least now I started discovering various roms.
Any custom rom has problems, only stock is almost perfect on stability but there is a lot of options and customizations not available. Some errors take more time to appear. Everyone has different interests and hardware so you might never suffer some bugs.
If aosp keyboard is not working for you, there is options like swype (included in stock but for cm you have to buy it. Thought it has upgrades that can be worthy like dragon speaking) or swiftkey.
Stock rom without carrier bloat... only Brazil retail.
Looking for stock Heavily debloated... Search for de-blur ones. My advice here would be to try to deblur by your own by reading a de-blur list and removing one by one. Some roms out there can be deblurred more than you would like.
Interesting stock ROM? China ROM (i believe current version is 400-430) has a unique feature... Call recording without having to mess with configurations, system files etc.... and very nice stability and battery compared to other stock options. Read its thread thoroughly since installing it is not so easy due to region restrictions (read about CID) and something called CDT.bin that can get you unable to revert to other ROMs or even use your phone again depending on circumstances (CDT.bin problem is not exclusive to China ROM).
Currently using slimkat, had cyanfox before. I Spend at least a day with current rom before installing jbx since flashing another kernel can bring new bugs that are not caused by current rom. (Thought normally jbx gives a big improvement on speed and other things sometimes it has bugs).

That looks like a long list. Isn't it a bad idea to freeze so many processes like HTML viewer, Key Chain, Setup Wizard?
I mean okay it's good to not have useless processes, but isn't that a bit too much?

It is a bad idea to freeze any system apps that aren't on the deblur list if you don't kow what you are doing. Everything he has there is safe to freeze, and some of their processes can be handled better by other apps anyways.
Regardless welders list is EXAMPLE ONLY! If you are looking to debloat your stock ROM, take angrist's advice and find/read the debloat(deblur) list for Razr, and freeze processes that you feel you don't need one at a time. Use the phone a little bit and see if it causes you issues, then move to the next.
I'm using CM11 Nightly 03-22 nothing else but pagapps and the only thing I've been missing is audio being routed through the usb when in docked mode. Absolutely love it.
And remember, if you will remove something like launcher, better have installed it's replacement first.
