Two questions before flashing an AOSP rom - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone.
Hope someone can help me.
Two questions basically:
1. Is there a way to get stock camera like quality with an AOSP rom? Last time I checked the picture and video quality was really really terrible in AOSP roms like CM, etc. Has this improved or is it possible to instal the Touchwiz camera on CM to get the stock picture and video quality?
2. What about battery life? I also remember it being much worse than stock. Any suggestions to make it better and more like Touchwiz rom? Maybe there's a good kernel that I should try to extend the battery life?
Thanks!

(1) cameras are mostly fixed and quality is also quite ok. I still feel Samsung was better in the past (whereas long time on aosp here)
(2) in the beginning, you are correct, battery was terrible, or at least less than TW roms, now I get nearly the same time out of it. (using slimbean)

1. Yes, it is almost the same.
2. Now battery life is the same, if not better than stock TouchWiz

I've gone through some AOSP rom threads and I still see people complaining about the camera
Is there some camera app that I would need to install or only use the AOSP stock camera that comes with the AOSP roms?

I haven't seen any complaints and when i'm not running a nightly the camera is great.
Cyanogenmod, I'm using it and in my opinion its the best ROM available, ive never had a single crash on stable versions (nightlies crash on the camera) battery life is great, performance is better than a lot of ROMs but not quite as good as Liquid Smooth and camera quality is also great. Beware that on the current CM11 nightlys the camera makes the phone crash so use CM10.2 instead.

What is screen on time.
Maybe you have not tried Stock ML2 yet. It is far better than 10.2 in terms of battery(according to your stats.)
I'm at 55% after 20 hours with 2 hours screen on time(heavy to moderate usage).

Stock rom's battery life is not as good as oxygen's
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
every latest ROM will give you almost the same battery backup, the difference could only be upto 3-5% so, in my opinion, you can use any ROM but you should be smart enough to use your phone properly, If you are gaming all the time, then your battery won't last more than a few hrs..
I would recommend hephappy's prereleases, with data and sync only through 2G and light use - reduced backlight, couple of SMS, few calls, short web browsing (check twitter, find some public transport connection,...) - i got nearly three days of battery life.
But when you are on 3G, heavily browsing or playing games all the time you can't expect any rom to last more than day (to be more specific from morning to evening).

True I have same battery drain (~2% per night) on all ROMs... people with lots of apps or data on at all times should NEVER give an opinion on battery life... you may get a signal from an app, randomly, and cause system to be totally random on battery...

There is no best. This is a ridiculous question that gets asked every day. What's good for one person may not be for someone else.
You have to try them for yourself.
If there was a best, surely everyone would use only 1 rom....

Try CheckROMv2 + nimphetamin3 kernel
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Hi,
It's not a silly question - there are far too many custom roms with custom kernels. The combinations of these add up to an awful lot of flashing, not to mention then running it for a few days to get an idea on battery and performance. It would probably take weeks!
Anyways, for me, i rooted my stock UK rom using Chainfire 6.3, and then froze any bloatware apps i didn't use or want using Titanium Pro. This is now giving me better battery life than previously and running nice and smooth.
To give you an idea, i had around 25 hours moderate use with around 4.5 hours screen time.
Hope that helps a little. I'll probably try a custom rom sometime once things settle a little more, though i'm really really hoping for Jelly Bean now.....

What Processes did you freeze? I am considering this too but I don't see too many processes which drain the battery (unlike the S2 when I first got it). Thanks.

Losing interest in Cm9 & 10

I have realized that cm9 and 10 will never be properly stable on the ace (and even if they do it will be after a long time, months probably), almost all the releases have battery drain and camera problems.
For me its time to move on and accept that the ace is at its best with gingerbread. What about you guys, what do u think?

but camera takes a lot of battery, around 10 percentage after taking 2 pics. And also the rom lags after flashing gapps.
For now im sticking with Miuixxx, im not having any problems (no reboots), battery should be great (caliberating right now) because of vo-1 and firekernel. And it's fully functional, and the miui look is just great.
Never tried cm10 (yet). Maybe I should. But I can live with gingerbread, for now.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
Well I kinda agree with you, until now there isn't any stable CM9 / 10 ROMs (although developers are doing great job and maybe we might get a stable ics or jb ROM). For now I just stick with CM7 and just trying to make it better with mods, themes and such

I honestly can't wait for JB. I flashed it on my friend's Tmobile GS2 and it was flawless. HQ video wasn't working though. But who uses it anyway.
It was epic nonetheless. Could be officially used as a daily rom. I'm still waiting for the day JB can be used on the Ace like that. I've never tried it. Can someone confirm if it's as fluid as they say it is? The day I try it is gonna be when I decide to use it as my daily rom.

Well, i'm using MIUI SnapSeries for a while and i think its great. Unfortunatelly have battery drain (half day in some cases, without using wifi constantly) camera bugs and others little things, but the rom itself its very fast. I've got 2300 in antutu benchmark with this rom, not even cm7 gave me that. I will try PAC now and see how it's going.
I am using jellaxy CM10 build 5/10/12 with michies's performance package and nims11 Kernel and the ROM runs awesome.
no lags so whatever after using michie's performance package
and Deep sleep works for me even if i use camera and Bluetooth
if u wanna have deep sleep and also wanna use Camera.with preview then download Camera illusion from market and use HD mode.
I turned Bluetooth on and after switching it off I locked my Ace and after that checked deep sleep time and it had increased.
well im sticking with MIUIXXX its really stable (i dnt have reboots or anything), and its eyecandy too

Are you serious ?
but I'm waiting for Camera to be completely fixed
about features cm7 is good enough for phone.. hardware accelerated UI has not been that good on ace in anyway.. ICS launchers are equally smooth on gingerbread... no ICS goodies works good enough
browser improvements was main but stock ics browser lags like hell (chrome not supported ) and on our so called 278 ram size ics runs awful..
GB roxx until i change my phone.. non the less android is so fragmented that gingerbread support will not die until 5-6 years from now

[Q] [q] which rom to use?

Hi I am 15 years old and i have a samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100 with stock ics 4.0.3 (exactly I9100XXLPS). It have some issues with (not opening some times) wifi and several battery drain when im playing games ( need for speed, asphalt, etc). I want to play games and surfing but my phone does not keep its battery until night. So I want a rom and a kernel which have no much battery drain, fix wifi issue and if its possible to extend the wifi signal...
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i'm also 15 yr old, btw i'm from Serbia(if u know where is it...), if u using cf kernel it has a wifi bug so i suggest u to install siyah or dorimanx kernel... And, i think themes like this(whats best rom, which to use, ...) are forbidden, sorry btw try SuperNexus rom, for me that's best rom for begginers, wish u a luck !
I have to say that ROMs are all about personal preference. Imo you should test out various ROMS to see what's best for you...
That being said, I'm currently using Cm7 on my I777 and it has great battery life (although I suspect it has something to do with turning the second core off and using Siyah GB.)
For Jellybean my preferred ROM is Super Nexus... I got pretty good battery on that one too!

I'm using PA 2.54 with Dorimanx 7.17 kernel with moderate UV and battery save settings from STweaks. I deactivate auto-running non-useful apps and location services, use lower brightness, uninstalled some system apps and frozen others, etc. Search forum for more info

Sorry, but i am not a begginer and i know where is serbia... Anyway i am using stock kernel too now. Also i was using latest jelly bean resurection remix with latest siyah a week ago, but latest resurrection remix version had a very big issue with severe battery drain, so i decided to return to stock unbranded 4.0.3 and then try an other rom. Thats why i create this threat, for not trying all s2 roms.....

How many battery cycles did you let the battery settle for? You should give your battery at least 3 cycles before you judge the life of the battery after you flash something. You can also try CPU spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping. Also try better battery stats to see if you have any wakelocks.

I use RR 3.1.2 and I don't think there is a severe battery drain. Use better battery statsto know what caused it, at the first place.

I give the battery 10+ battety cycles in each rom i try before i report... I will try battery stats and set cpu but i think (because i have tried them in rr) they will not give me the exact reason about my problem. I will try again and post here the results.
Anyway, thank you.

Yesterday i found these fixes on internet... Do you think that this was a cause of my battery drain problem?

Hardly when idle and ok while using it. 4 - 5 hrs gaming. That's the max you can get with stock batteries.
Im not 15 and I want a rom and kernel that makes the battery last a week.Will be playing games all day,and making the odd call,and listening to music.
Ive got a ds,a psp and an ipod......but I dont use them now as its my phones responsibility to think its all them........and to make calls etc.
Now why have I got to charge the phone every day ......its totally ridiculous.

why galaxy s3 working laggy with samsung stock roms

as i described phone is slower than my old sgs2.s2 was running smoothly 4.1.2 . even 4.1.2 laggy on my sgs3.now using custom roms but samsung based roms fail for me.is it only my phone or sgs3 fails???my antutu score with s3 21212 on archidroid.
Touchwiz roms are like this due to Samsung. Benchmarks show nth as manufacturers have some cheating methods to make the score higher.

Use other ROM based tw. Its better than stock. Smooth
Battery friendly.?
In my experience 4.1.2 as mg4 was the most stable and fast stock version. After that including 4.1.2 and 4.3 stocks all were laggy and had less battery performance. However, I couldn't find any aosp based custom rom work flawless or at least stable. Each one has its own bugs. Slimkat doesn't support exfat, liquidsmooth was very very laggy and cm has some fc issues etc. As a consequence at least stock one is the stable one.

okay thanks
I was on 4.1.2 since i bought my s3, i decided to try 4.3 and i switched to Android Revolution HD 51 in combination with Boeffla kernel, and i must say performance is way much better and also the battery life, with 4.1 i got somewhere around 4h of screen on time, and with 4.3 i get close to 5h of screen on time, also to mention over the night battery drops only 1% if wifi on and 0% with airplane mode on, preety impressive, you just have to find your way to customize it for daily use

Sadly I couldn't find a kernel that helped me in my battery life. Brightness is always on 0... And I don't have that many apps.. I seriously don't know what's going on

Do u have alot of wakelocks? Dun set brightness to auto. They tend to make the brightness more than wat u nid. Manually control the brightness.

No my wake locks seem normal though there was a suspicious one, I don't remember it's name exactly, but I'll tell when I find it out, only thing I know that it's audio related but I don't think that's it... Other than that battery just melts leaving me with 1-2 hours screen time (on stock 4.1.2) I'll try flash a different rom and I'll tell you what changed
