Hello!
I'm noob in these kind of things (root, flashing...),
I would like to know if there's a way to cook the last available stock SGS2 ROM (4.1.2) and add some Nexus and LG G2/3 tweaks?
The tweaks are:
- Old TV lockscreen effect (Nexus/LG2/LG3...)
- Horizontal Scrollable wallpaper (like it was before on SGS2)
- Tap twice to wake up the screen (LG2/LG3)
- Tap twice to turn off/lock the screen (LG2/LG3)
There, these are the tweaks that I really would enjoy on my SGS2.
If, by any chance, there's a way to cook a Stock Samsung ROM with these features, it would be awesome.
cheers.

Just a quick question - I'm still using a rooted but stock Samsung ROM because in the past a custom ROM with the CRT off effect disabled the smooth automatic brightness changes.
Does anyone know if this is still the case? Thinking specifically of Paul's MoDaCo ROM here which I'd like to try.
Hi,
I am looking for a ROM which will allow me to :
1. Decent battery life- performance not a problem. So no OC
2. AOSP lock screen (sliding)
3. Samsung browser (only because I like my 'clickable' phone numbers, and i found stock browser wont do it for me.. only the samsung)
4. I dont like all those fancy icons (i.e. on the notification drawer) i prefer stock standard.
is this possible? or am I asking for too much?

So right now I'm running CM7.1 nightly, and I'm in love with it. I went to UnNamed for about 2 hours a week ago, and I couldn't deal with the lack of customization. Now, this is my first android phone in a while, so I was still learning the new apps and tricks.
Now I realize I can change the lock screen using WidgetLocker. The stock lock screen is the MAIN reason why I'm not on a stock rom such as S8. I've heard nothing but great things about Mikey, and I really want to try out his rom.
So now that I know I can change my lockscreen (from the tacky and rather stupid looking stock, to a more customizable sophisticated one) I just want to know a few things.
Flashing Themes. In CM7, it uses it's own Theme engine and I can download themes from the market and flash em via the Theme Chooser App. For these stock themes, I have to download from a dev thread on here, or is there a "database" of themes?
CM7 I can customize the status bar to display The Full carrier name, wifi signal strength in dB or bars, etc. Can I do that with stock roms? How about Battery Percentage? I read that the circle percentage app/mod didn't work with S8. Is that true?
Finally, How is the battery life in S8 compared to CM7?
Thanks for your help guys.
Hi All!
I recently sold my S2 to a friend who is coming from a broken iPhone 4.
He had his iPhone 4 jailbreak'd, and he requires the following tweaks in the "android" world:
iPhone 4 Tweak:
SpringFlash - a tweak that allows an assignment of a gesture or physical button to activate the iPhone's camera's flash as a flashlight - in his case, he would press down iPhone's power button and the flashlight will turn on/off. Now, for his Galaxy S2, he currently installed Market (Google Play) App- a flashlight widget , however, he wants to know if he can assign a gesture or physical button to activate that on his android phone ?
InfiniteDock - a tweak that allows dock icons, to infinitely scroll left or right, adding applications/folders - on the S2, he has the stock icons (phone, message, e-mail and internet -- or whatever he assigns too) ... now, I was looking into some launchers ... Launcher Pro, Go Launcher ... which one would you guys recommend ?
Just as an FYI, he currently has CheckROM V4 installed, I believe that is at Android version 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 - - CheckROM is now updated to V6, but I still think it is still Gingerbread based build, correct me if I am wrong.
He is thinking about going to either Lightn' Rom (which the latest is based on Android 4.0.4) or the CheckROM V6 ... Please advice which ROM and tweaks he should go for that incorporates the iPhone tweaks he is looking for ...
Thanks!
Install any custom launcher like go launcher, adw launcher.(launcher pro is outdated)
1. use the swype gestures to turn on torch
2.same launcher has option to infinite scrolling in dock
do post the question in Q & A section next time
Thanks...
Thanks, I'll look into it.
the resurrection remix (currently at 1.7) allows you to set up 'long press power while on the lockscreen' and get a flashlight
and most launchers can use scrolling docks - im using a program called simifolder widget - it gives iphone style folders anywhere, so setup about 20 apps for a folder and in the dock bar click it and get a nice scrollable popup
use apex launcher pro it has swipe gestures

If you would have read the OP carefully you would find out that his friend is running gingerbread and he can't install Apex.
He can also add some toggles to the notification bar if he don't have them.

Hi Again,
I actually helped him upgrade to 4.0.4 (custom OMEGA rom).
We are using APEX launcher, and he is fairly happy with it. Prior to reading the forum, I didn't know about the remix ROM able to have the delay-touch gesture of the power button...I was wondering if that is available on the OMEGA ROM - Black Blue ICS Theme v11.1 or v11.2 (something).
Thanks!
P.S. what is the technical term behind the resurrection remix's rom feature - "set up long press power while on the lockscreen" function? is it common among android custom-based ROMs?
Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to tweak something to add an extra column and row of icons to the home screen without switching launchers. I'm on the stock jelly bean s3 firmware. CM10 has the option to do this in settings but stock is actually faster and ranks a lot higher on quadrant so don't want to change.

Hi,
Here for the stock launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848582&highlight=mod
PS: since this is is a question you should have ask in the Q & A section.
Thanks, and will remember that in future, haven't asked a question before.
