What's the difference in all the SKYICS ROMs?

I hope no one bashes me for asking this because I did read the changelogs. Anyway I'm trying to figure out the differences between the two SKY ICS ROMs, after all, they're both by the same developer but each has a different thread. After checking the change logs I could't tell what the huge differences are, here are the two that I found:
[ROM] SKYICS 4.2E-9 (ULCE2)
[ROM]SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10
Each one is still receiving updates, so what's the difference?

They are built on different ics leaks.

Any significant differences? All I noticed is that SKY ICS 4.2E seems to be based off the Galaxy S3 and SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10 looks slightly more like Galaxy S2 stock with slight alterations, although I could be wrong.

SKY ICS UCLD2 BASE is UCLD2 modem
SKY ICS 4.2E is ULCE2 modem
Each one has different features. the 4.2e is the newest. Meaning he updates that one. I don't think hes updating the UCLD2 one anymore. Hope that helps.

SKY ICS 4.2E is the best ROM I've ever used. Fast, amazing battery life, stable. Highly recommended.

First off, THANK YOU for posting this in the Q&A section instead of the development threads
As others have mentioned, they're based on different ICS leaks. 4.2E is the most recent leak. It's still getting updates, while D will not. D works fine and was very good in my experience, but I'm using E and it's AMAZING.
If you want a stable ROM and don't want to worry about updates, go with D.
If you want a ROM that's already awesome and getting frequent updates, go with E. I recommend E.

You're right, he's been including S3 software in E, as it recently became available. D includes Apex Launcher, E does not.

Currently using the E version and I don't plan to switch to anything else, it's superb especially his detail to updating and constantly adding minor tweaks. Thanks to everyone for the info.

Question about ICS

I had upgraded to ICS officially through kies on my PC. It isn't the same as the galaxy nexus ICS for example. Is there a way to get it to the non-bloatware ICS without touchwiz and rogers apps and stuff? Also it seems like this ICS update is lagging my phone like crazy. I have like 500 mb ram used at any given time.

Maybe check the development section.....

Ofcourse the 2 devices are different .. SR is an at&t device i.e. the put their brand on it , bloatware , apps etc...
Galaxy Nexus is a pure Google device made by Samsung , you would get the cleanest Android experince the possible , and the erliest as well compaired to the rest of the world in every update ...
If you don't like the stock ICS , See the dev section for custome ROMs and you might like something there...

[Q] JB Roboto font

Hello guys. New to the sgs3 forums,coming from the original incredible. I am using beans stock ICS room atm. Was wondering how I would go about pulling the font from an sgs3 JB Rom and flashing it onto current Rom?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Sent from my SGS3 using Beans Custom ICS Touchwiz

If the font is nor unique to aosp roms...
Unzip the rom file that has JB roboto font.
Go to system> apps and find the jb roboto font.apk
Copy the .apk file and reverse the above process with the new rom that you want to use. Re-zip all the files. Flash.
As always, nandroid backup bwfore this.

If its just a font that ur porting over, it should be compatible. (That was my semi disclaimer)

So it didn't work. Text didn't change, and apps were force closing like crazy. Moss can close/delete this thread.

Here , this worked for ics, and the majority of the fonts in JB, maybe you can expand on it and we can make a new thread for jb font changing .

There are two Roboto fonts in the rar. I've no clue how they compare to Jelly Bean, as I've taken a liking to the bauhaus font myself.
You might find something that works for you in there.

Android 4.2 Alternate Wallpapers

Hey everyone,
forgive me if this does not belong here/has already been found,
but whilst rooting around in the apk of the android 4.2 launcher from the recent Nexus 4 system dump I found some alternate wallpapers hidden away that nobody seems to have found! They seem to have a strange aspect ratio so possibly they weren't actually meant for the Nexus 4 and that is why they can not be accessed directly once the launcher is installed.
A selection:

and the zip file:

Enjoy!

They haven't been posted because they aren't new. Think they were included in then first jelly Bean roms, maybe ICS. Just FYI

Pretty sure they aren't mate, at least not all of them.
That is, they were never in any ICS rom I ever ran which was a hell of a lot!

He was right, they were included in CM9 stock version ( atleast I saw them on Opensensation CM9 by Tamcore). I had 2 of these my wallpapers. On Opensensation when selecting wallpaper, you can choose between CynogenMod Wallpapers or just Wallpaper (which I believe were ICS stock). I don't remember if these exact ones came from stock Wallpaper or CynogenMod Wallpapers.
Thanks for posting anyways, since they do not appear in CM10.:good:

Stock cm9. Pointless post.

Will there ever be a Touch Wiz 5.0 rom?

I was just wondering will there every be a rom based solely on samsung's UI. Like for instance, a rom build on the sg3 build. I like the roms that are out but like all of the have some sort of cm9 (or 10) or AOKP intergration. I would like to see a rom with just samsung's UI (mainly TW 5.0) that is tweaked and just pure awesome.

Embryo is a TW-Only ROM.
If you mean a TouchWiz JellyBean ROM, probably not until we get an official JB release or a JB leak for our phone.

Ya, closest thing you'll get to JB TW is Sky JellyBean. Lot of TW elements with CM10 as the base.

I was just about to ask this. I know we have SkyJB With touchwiz added on top of JB
and Embryo. Both are great roms. But nothing like that stock 4.0 on the sgs3 I was playing around with that bad boy and "i was like if we could get this on our skyrockets there wouldn't be a need to get another phone"
