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...

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

This is my first post @ xda-develpers forum.
I just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 moving from Blackberry 9900. I would like ROM that is closest to the the orginal ICS. Overall, I dont like those bloat-ware on my phone. If on a PC, the first thing I'll do is to format the computer and reinstall Windows.
So for Samsung Galaxy S3, I am finding a lot of installed software pretty much useless. So can you guys recommend me a ROM out there that is closest to the original ICS from Nexus?
Thanks.

OP:
I find VillainROM is quite close and from what I've read Revolution HD is fairly close also. You can also just use a stock ROM, as well, and use tools like Titanium to take out the crap you don't need or want and use an insecure kernel to root the device.

How is that in any remote way NOT helpful? it points him to the thread of AOSP development i.e. Closest to ICS.

What? No it just points him to the Development forum. It doesn't give any specific ideas or recommendations. I'm pretty sure the OP could've looked through there if they wanted to, but instead chose to ASK for advice.
Also, yeah, my advice is moot, then, cause I recommended Sammy ROM's by mistake.

That's more like it. And yes, I caught and mentioned that
Thanks you all. This being my first time into the Android world and into xda forum, there are a lot of unfamiliar things I am learning here.
Regarding Stock ROM, I am just unfamiliar with what to remove and what not to remove. Also, I think no matter how much app you remove, its just still boatware.
REgarding the AOSP based ROM, there are 6 different types. All seems to have some major bug.
For example, the CyanogenMod9:GT-I9300 contains the following known bugs
FM Radio: currently not supported, try Spirit FM from market
TVOut: unsupported and will probably never be
Wakeing the device up using volume keys might not work because the device is sleeping to deep and doesn't recognize key presses
You must use the LFB modem to have in-voice calls
First call might not work, subsequent calls works fine then.
Bluetooth does not work well if the distance is over 1 meter to the connected Bluetooth device
Others also have some camera issues etc.
So there aren't any ROM out there that is "virtually" problem free. I don't mind small problem but camera not working, bluetooth not working seems pretty major for me.
I assume there aren't any Galaxy Nexus ICS on Samsung Galaxy S3 that is problem free???

You could also use the Jelly Bean Domination theme in my sig. It's aim is to remain Samsung but look like ICS. Also, some ROMS remove the bloat for you (like Omega) and have the option to add it back.

Hi
I've searched the forum to see if this has been asked before, but couldn't find any thread. If there is on, I am sorry.
I flashed MIUI ROM (actually tried a few, and are now running JB polymorphed), as I've been using MIUI for almost 2 years and love the customization that this ROM brings. However I found the SIII stock Email app to be better than MIUI Email app. Just the visual and functionality was more to my liking.
Does anybody know if it is possible to use stock email app on MIUI ROM? If so; does anyone have a link to the SIII stock email app?
I also have a thread about the customized vibration that was on SIII, but not on MIUI ROM. If anyone can answer that question also, I would highly appreciate it!
Are you wanting the AOSP one or the Samsung one?
The AOSP version ahould be ok but the Samsung one will require the Samsung framework etc...
Good question I don't know what the stock email app on Samsung is. I am thinking of the one that was installed on my S3 when I bought it. I live in Norway.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
That will be the Samsung version I'm afraid, so its not possible...
Ok, thank for your your time and help.

Samsung rom is made, like the name says, by them and is not Open Source. Some guys, like you and me, but much smarter than me, from the android comunity started a few years ago AOSP which is an Android Open Source Project so everyone can build and generally speaking develop more easy. There are allot of differences, from aestethical perspective but also of functionality. AOSP builds are lighter in most cases than manufacturer's builds, and also in most cases are faster. You can find tons of information on google about this.
The email app from Sammy roms use Sammy framework. This means that one will have to include sammy framework in the AOSP build. An interesting concept developed already by some devs, here on xda (acer73 develops such a hybrid rom, give it a try).
I just had a brand new GS3 and have been playing with it quite a lot these past days
I've done many things such as root it, download free paid apps with it, used different launchers with it, etc.
But the latest thing I did, to see what all the fuss was about was to upgrade my GS3 to Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly
I mean a lot of people are doing it so I thought it was all good, well at least at the beginning it seemed to be
I have to say at first glance it seemed like a great deal for me, having a spanking new lockscreen, notification bar, overall stock phone and messaging applications, and a sleek looking camera
Everything looked fine, until I tried out many of the new stuff out...
First of all the new camera was pretty ok but had one major drawback for me, the HDR mode
You see in the original GS3 ROM the cameras HDR mode was like lightning, you wouldn't notice that it takes separate photos to make the unified, balanced exposure photo
While in the new camera you can notice a time delay of something like .2-.5 seconds between each photograph that the camera takes in order to make you new HDR photo
The result? a badly stitched photo because of shaky hands. And even using "great" paid camera apps produced the same results
Next in the phone application itself, it looked nice and dandy until I noticed that the option for video calling totally disappeared...
And can I say video calling is by far one of my most used things in my GS3 if not the most after the texting and normal calls
I mean hey, I can make a video call anytime anywhere without internet isn't that awesome?!?
Well actually those two are my only real problems... the others could be the disappearance of my stock Samsung apps such as S Note or S Memo but those can be easily replaced with similar apps from the Play Store, and of course what other stock Samsung apps that dissapeared were the Samsung App store, S Voice, etc. which I liked to have been taken out
That said the Cyanogenmod ROM for me looked more like a launcher with added features but nothing else more, it did not have much of it's own "original" apps and that was kind of okay I guess
BUT MY CONCLUDING QUESTION IS
are all custom ROMs like this? will they all overwrite my beautiful video calling and camera capabilities or was it just the Cyanogenmod ROM?
I'm looking up into other ROMs like "Universe S4 ROM" or "Imperium ROM" for my GS3 and just wanted to know before I either invest a good amount of time or just waste it if those ROMs will or will not take out the bad and add mroe good to my GS3 especially the "Universe S4 ROM" since it said that it will add apps that are exclusive to the GS4 like the S Translate.
Thanks in advance for the replies!
CM and camera is a well posted problem .
You have to do some research first then decide if what the custom rom offers outweighs the bugs .
The S4 apps are a work in progress some work 100% some fail others have bugs that developers try and solve .
You would be better to stick with a stock rooted rom or even a bare bones stock custom Samsung rom .

Thank you very much for this!
I'm still wondering if there are custom ROMs that still have the video call and camera the GS3 or are my only options really those bare bones stock custom Samsung ROMs? If so where can I look to have an easier time finding those types of ROMs I need?
And is an GS4 ROM one of those stock rooted ROM or bare bones stock custom Samsung ROMs that you're talking about or is it a totally different ROM already that doesn't have the video call and camera that I'm looking for?
Because I see all of these ROMs and their offers but I don't know where to look within the forums to know if they do or do not have the two simple aspects that I'm looking for.

But as with the other reply I still have the same question.
Can I still make standard Samsung/Android video calls with this one and is the S4 camera that comes with this as good (or better) than the S3 camera?
I really do hope it does and I'll give it a shot!

By default, this ROM comes with S3 camera. You can find the S4 camera in Aroma. But the S4 camera is quite buggy, video recording some other functions are not wroking yet. Henry is trying his best to make it work. I would reccomend you to try Glamour S4 ROM. Brilliantly smooth and excellent.
In my opinion, cyanogenmod is the most overrated rom in the android. Just a little speed improvement and lots of missing features and problems.
You should try roms based on samsung roms.

I use Google Edition Pure by Dubbsy and hlxanthus.
I started with the modified version for a month or so, then I played around with PAC-Man ROM RC1 by Papa Smurf151 for a few days to test out a ton of custom features in one go. Some of them were quite good, but I got tired of all the options and customisations and just wanted stock Google again . So now I am on Google Edition Pure.
Being able to go to HALO and Pie to hardware buttons to the soft navbar (mod by hlxanthus) and all around again has really helped my form my UI tastes. Turns out I prefer Google's on-screen buttons, and one of the reasons why I bought the S4 was because of its hardware buttons!
I sold my iPhone and got the S4 on the weekend that the new update rolled out. I was able to get it home and root it and flash the GE ROM all on the first day. The only bugs have I've noticed have been the missing 4G bars (fixed), garbled carrier name (unimportant), and a few recent build glitches that I think are fixed now as well (MTP botched and random reboots). On the other had, I tried installing Google Wallet before, but I ended up having to reflash the ROM. Now this latest version has Wallet working out of the box.
Stock ME7 unrooted. Not by choice obviously, but to be honest with force gpu rendering it's incredibly fast and smooth for a stock experience. Great battery too.

Also, forcing people to vote is probably going to get the thread locked as a "best ROM" thread. Not to mention the list is missing quite a few options, even those found on XDA - PAC has been around since we first got root.

Show me a more full comprehensive list and I will update. Its hard enough to find the roms as a newbie but when someone makes a list you should ask to get yours added...

I saw that in your op. I commented on that ROM/Mod/Kernel list thread, as I didn't realize it was still being updated.
"Daily Driver" is a term people throw around way too loosely, and it means different things to different people. For me, a daily driver is a ROM I can use for my normal activities without major bugs adversely affecting it. Longevity, to me, is irrelevant because there are quite a few ROMs that meet my criteria. I don't think I'm a "crack-flasher" so nightlies aren't my thing, but I've gotten pretty fast at setting up on a new ROM. So even though a ROM may run great for me, I like to change it up every now and then. I loved Beans' and DarkSlide - and would consider those daily drivers. I am now on PAC, and so far it meets all of my requirements. I'll probably switch to BoneStock in the next couple weeks, since ME7 is very smooth and the TW camera is a nice improvement over AOSP.
Im using HellsRom and its great. Pure stock and that's the way I like it for now. I havent found any bugs yet. Everything works great and very fast.

Why isn't Timbo32's Buttersquirtz rom on here? Or KnightMan12's Gloryhole DaRk-TheMe-DrEaM Rom? Biased much?

No Omega, Pacman, or Revolt?
I'm currently using Hyperdrive but it's my first custom ROM and I'm not too thrilled with it. Battery life seems a little worse than stock and TouchWiz just feels bloated naturally-- all the S4 stuff doesn't seem to work at all? Smart scroll, smart stay, etc?
Hyperdrive for me has been quirkier and actually a tad slower than stock. I don't mean to blame it but it's my observation based on the options I chose upon install, etc. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid ROM for sure, however I'm definitely not tied to it yet.
Ok, my question is neither a disrespect to any dev working on the device nor i decline all their hard work which they put in bringing us cm and twrp etc... This is simply a question...
After cm, will devs work on other roms, to port them to our phone e.g aokp or pacman....
Sorry if i hurt anyones feelings.. I know u guys are working hard....

Broken and Dirty Unicorns
Du and broken are both supposed to be coming to the 5x after we get official marshmallow. Those are about the only 2 I care about so IDK about any others. Broken already has lollipop for it but they aren't going to release it to the public until it's upgraded to mm.

What is DU and what is Broken? Are those names of AOSP based roms? I've heard of many Roms but not those?
Names of developers

Broken os and dirty unicorns... A quick Google Search will tell you all you need to know
I hope some custom roms some through fast, the stock really sucks a** and it's just not Android from UX or it's functions! Such crap OS, hell, can't even use basic root apps effectively (like TB) or install straight forward mods (v4A for ex)....all things either screw up the system or just don't work! The CM build by crpalmer seems to be working for most, but it lack fingerprint support something of a factor that made me buy this phone in the first place

Stock isn't too terrible if you use a different launcher. I have v4a and tibu both running great, Just took a little work. As far as dev names and stuff like that... Come on guys you have all the worlds knowledge at your fingertips use it! I won't spoon feed it to you
I'm would love to have Exodus on this. The aosp beauty like omni... And omni too. These best these days are Exodus and omni
Without the correct sources and binaries i'm not seeing any sort of custom ROMs become stable enough for daily use. Even Lollipop ROMs are currently bug-ridden due to Honor releasing ****ty code.

Still not as bad as the source for the Kirin SoC in the Honor 4x, That was an "amazing" experience.

Honor should release the correct source, i think then we will have more custom roms...

Yea, thanks for the hint though i love all the tinkering I do, I missed the alternative launcher option! I installed Nova and it's much better than the stock Huawei home launcher.
Also, on the V4A, somehow it refuses to work at times and having an "abnormal" status for the driver. Uninstalled it completely now and flashed the Dolby Atmos, seems like my phone has suddenly come alive when it comes to speaker quality and music on headphones.......way better than what I was getting with V4A.

I was having the same problem with the "abnormal driver", then I got the selinux mode changer app and set it to change it to permissive on every boot... Viola! And yes it is much better with a different launcher. I'm running Google Now launcher and now that we have xposed I'm using xposed gel settings to get it just the way I want
If I help anyone in any way please hit that thanks button, I really need em right now lol
