Is there a stock ROM with DPI controls?
I am currently on the PAC MAN 4.3 ROM and am thoroughly enjoying it.
But just wondering if it's possible to use the latest stock JB ROM for our i717, and have some DPI controls.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated!
i believe both the 4.1.2 custom roms have xposed included, it wont be the great hybrid experience you get with pa's engine, but it will do the job

Hey Jamie! Thanks for the response. I'm still a big fan of your original PA rom work! (Although I am on PacMan at the moment :silly.
I really need the DPI change for the launcher (currently Nova) , and a few other apps like Gmail, and the Playstore.
I wanted to keep SOME of the original features of the stock JB rom from Samsung (wifi direct/all share crap), and few other features. Would the 4.1.2 custom roms with xposed be the route to take?
I am enjoying the 4.3 roms, and other custom ROMs, but am starting to need and lean toward the stability of the stock ROM.
Your "further" advice is always appreciated!
And...would you mind directing me to which 2 4.1.2 roms you are referring to? Thanks!
stability depends on user really, me evervolv 4.3 is rock stable and has everything i need so i never touch stock roms, but check out blackstar if you want a modded stock tw with dpi stuff
Padawan 4.1.2

Hello,
is there a custom rom with TouchWiz?
I like TouchWiz and want to have a ICS rom with all the useful Sammy apps and an optimized system.
I also wanted to flash Simone's Kernel for ICS. Good choice?
Thanks for your answers!

hey dude no custom rom builder will try 2 have touchwiz on his rom since it lags in customization compared to launchers like Nova r Trebuchet r Apex hence u cant have it by deafult but same can be installed from market
You can use wanamlite rom series, it has stock roms with all Samsung goodies with some customization

Thank you!
I'll flash Omega Stock v11.1.
can someone explain something to me,
TW, is more like whatever UCLE2 is, yes?
if certain MODS(SGS3) are made to be flashed on a UCLE2 ROM,
does that mean that when im running the TW launcher from CM9 ROM, i am suddendly on a UCLE2 kerner?
or am i on some other track level and way off ?
please, some food for knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

UCLE2 is the Baseband version or Modem. It isn't ROM. It's the Modem that's found in the latest leaks of ICS for the Note.
AOSP is Android Open Source Project. For all intents and purposes it's just Vanilla Android, free of UI overlays and tampering like TouchWiz or carrier tweaks.
CM9 doen't use TW. TW is the Launcher. CM9 uses Trebuchet Launcher.

but that TW launcher was moded , meaning i would have to find moded flashable SGS3 widgets to run on CW9/AOSP ROM
Hello,
I just joined XDA im on this forum for a week now and i kind off like it. I decided to root my phone because i want more battery life and AOSP like phone.
I have an International Samsung Gakaxy S3 i9300 with CM 6 recovery.
Rooted ofc
I searched all week for a rom but just couldnt find one for my needs.
So can you help my guys by finding a good rom and kernel for me? and im on the base version i9300DXELK1.
What i need:
AOSP Look rom, like the nexus phones.
Best battery life possible
Customize my rom (doesnt have to be in the rom, its cool to download a ZIP theme and flash it (the rom needs support. I tryd with foxhound but the foxhound options were missing with a theme it was the JKAY theme, I just want to have a high theme choise, and diffrent icons you know.)
Able to install mods etc.
AOSP Apps, like camera dailer, messaging, etc etc.
AOSP Lockscreen (Not the 4.2 widget one)
What i like to have:
4.2 Sphere camera.
4.1 Toggles on notification bar.
Able to mod my rom.
DPI Changer (dont need just like to have).
I am also looking for a good kernel that even more gives me more battery life. Im running siyah, im asking this because maybe theres a better battery life kernel then siyah
Thanks for reading
I hope i made this post good.

Slim bean is awesome. Apparently you can get massive battery life with other kernels too.

try foxhound.although it is jb 4.1.2 you can install swipe keyboard and photosphere camera on foxhound ota.
Foxhound isnt themeable:S And i prefer 4,1 jb im trying slim bean now i kinda like it, but i dont like the launcher because its not the standart launcher.
But final qeustion is there a CM or AOKP 4.1 what is stable (No bugs or almost no bugs) I only see nightlys of it. I think stock cm is best for me isnt it?
Yeah im kinda a critic xd. sorry
i recently started installing custom roms also, i tried cyanogen mod 10 which i found to be ok but a bit of a rough feel. then i tried ultima rom and to be honest its brilliant. if all else fails google
Discussing what the best/most stable/good ROM is is against the rules, reported
DO NOT POST A "What's the best ROM/Kernel/Theme?" THREAD!
Hello.
I'm going to flash to my phone 2 ROM's first will be a stock hybrid rom and a second will be CyanogenMod 10.2 or PAC MAN ROM or other AOKP/AOSP. But I don't know what stock hybrid rom choose. I really like Chameleon and will use it but I want more ROM's to test them and choose the best. Maybe it will be just a stock rom but themed I don't know. And yes, there is a "INDEX OF ROM'S" thread but maybe there may not have all the roms. So I ask you guys to propose some hybrid maybe themed stock rom's like Chameleon.

Stock hybrids are all roms based on sammy's jelly bean. They're all located in 'Android Development' section.

Yes, I know but I defined it badly. I mean hybrid rom that have stock features and aokp/aosp like Chameleon.
I don't think there are other roms that are 'more hybrid' than Chameleon. Most of them are just stock based, or, like Omega for example, stock with some features like 'back to kill-mod' of the lockscreen torch etc.
If Chameleon works for you, you can stick with that one right?

alliance roms?
so im using, neat rom and appollo kernal, i flashed the cm version, weird thing is my phone is working fine, can i just flash the correct version over it ?
thx
There is a TW Neat and a AOSP Neat. Seems you have the AOSP Neat.
Anyway just dirty flash your rom again and it will overwrite the kernel.

so confusing, so do i need the cm version or the stock version mate, so many versions it drives me nuts, so its xwms3 neatrom v6.4, is that cm version or stock of perfomence x mod?
i now understand that by stock they mean its a stock based rom not stock as in the default rom by samsung

The one you will keep is a matter of personal preference. On the Galaxy S2 I use the AOSP version. It is lighter and you get Android 4.4.4. I do not like or use any of the Samsung crapware.
For starters keep the kernel that comes with the rom. It is more than good enough.
The link is here: [ROM][Sep 25][4.4.4] I9100 AOSP NeatROM v8.0.

so youre saying with the performence x mod i can use stock or the cm version? im on jelly bean 4.1.2 and yeah i decided to stay with the apolo kernal
yeah i still dont understand even after reading all through the pages of the performence mod, some people say i need the stock version if using neat rom, im guessing because its a stock based rom but he says if its a stock firmware to use the stock rom wich is what i thought at first
currently im using the stock version of performence x mod but id just want to know for sure im using the correct one for the best experience, im using the apolo kernal that came with the lite version of neat rom, on jb 4.1.2, but now im thinking i need the cm version because he says this
This engine works on any devices with any rom, but there is a version for CM's rom and one for stock based firmwares. So, CMx.x, Lewa Os, MIUI, etc.
Install the stock version only on your stock firmware of your phone....
if your device don't have gingerbread or ICS officially, install the CM version (This also applies to the AOSP)
Stock means the Samsumg Touchwiz Rom that comes with phone. Could also be a custom modified TW rom like Omega or NeatROM.
AOSP based roms are Slim, Paranoid, CM, Liquid, Omni, ... and, of course, AOSP Neatrom.
To further clarify, there are two NeatROms:
- Samsung Stock Based: [ROM][Aug 26][XWMS3] NeatROM
- AOSP Based: [ROM][Sep 25][4.4.4] I9100 AOSP NeatROM (Based on Slim rom)

thx for the detailed explanation mate, by the way i just installed the neatrom version you suggested with kitkat 4.4.2, i think the one i was using was a bit out of date, i like how light it is, lol it literaly comes with nothing installed really, anyways so i take it this aosp neatrom will use the cm version of the performence x mod then?
That is correct. AOSP NeatRom with CM version of PurePerformance.
If I were you I would use the rom for a few days before applying the mod. That would allow you to really feel if it will make a difference and if it is worth using it.

ah ok thx for the advice, im kinda not likin this one though mate, its a bit to bare for me, for a start i cant find the power save toggle no more lol, also it removed the default samsung galaxy music and video player wich i really liked and cant seem to get back, ive looked and cant find the stock one anywhere, there the 2 main things bothering me, i like to get rid of as much bloatware as possible. because then you can just have the stuff you want, but the stock music and video player were pretty decent
one other thing i went and installed the latest apolo kernal too, its the one for kitkat, had to update my gpu mali driver to install it, i just want the stock sgs2 music and video player back mainly now and ill be good
Samsung apps rely on Touchwiz framework. You can not run them under an AOSP rom.
If you feel you must have them, you have to use a TW rom, could be the TW neat rom.
I use these apps:
Video Player: MX Player - XDA thread MX Player
Music Player: Poweramp Music Player
The best apps to extend your battery life:
[APP][4.0+] Greenify
[APP][2.3+] LeanDroid - The most efficient battery saver
Have fun!

k cheers for all youre help bro, much appreciated, its a long learning process, i do thinks theres a bit to many versions and stuff though its pretty crazy, must be a nightmare for the poor devs, ive now just read about modems too, my phone is saying its t mobile even though its actualy virgin sim card and ive selected virgin from providers too, so no idea whats going on there, only doing that with this rom

Glad to be able to help.
In this case I am not sure what to do. The S 2 I have is beeing used by my son and he out for two weeks.
Usually AOSP roms will allow you to suppress or change the network name. It is a status bar option called "Carrier Label" or something similar. I know it is not the best solution but it is what I can think of at this moment.
If possible please post a screenshot with the place where tmobile name is showing.
Not a problem mate apparently T-Mobile are same as virgin or something like that I read. Phone works fine. I put the kh3 modem on it too so that's probably why.
also you were rite about trying it without the performence mod, i did a tuntutu test before and after and with it, it lags like hell and i get 15000 and without it i get 17181 wich from reading everyone elses is pretty good, though i know benchmarks arnt accurate, its in game you get the results not these tests, but it can play gta san andreas well and thats what i wanted from it anyways, cant afford one of the newest ones
and theres not many games out that take advantage of the expensive ones yet anyways, games are gonna get good on these phones though thats for sure, maybe ill think about getting a better model when theres loads of decent games i cant play
atm i can play real trigger 2, real racing 3, though real trigger 2 on lowest settings for a smooth performence, gta 3 , gta san andreas overall pretty chuffed with this phone so far
oh and thx for the poweramp recomendation mate, its better than the samsung one, one last question, is it possible to get one of the stock weather widgets at all? can you not switch to the touchwiz launcher or something?
