Looks like you have a really bad day with whichever ROM you're running now, ehhhh.
I've been using ICS on the i777 for months w/o any issue.
What problem you running into with it? stock ICS browser?

[Q] stock android rom?

hi guys im new to the galaxy s 4g, i just got it today and im looking for a complete stock version of android. froyo or gingerbread. i would rather have gingerbread but i cant find one lol. also how come i dont see a cm7 one? well if u guys can send me a link i would appreciate that. i looked in the development section and i didnt see a stock android one. also are they buggy or have any issues? i like this phone to be fast cause stock is laggy plus i dont like touchwiz. thanks
There is no cm7 rom as of yet. If your looking for a completely stock rom your phone came with one but if you want a super smooth fast rom look for the icbinb rom by team acid.

well i just want the stock build of gingerbread like the nexus s has. i dont want touchwiz at all.. its too laggy for me. i was hoping there was a stock build of gingerbread thats why i got this phone. but i guess i can wait for cm7 to get a rom going. thanks though
I am trying to do the same thing on my phone. My sister-in-law works for google and got one of the Nexus S phones that google gave away as a christmas present to all the employees and I wanted to get a copy of their ROM on my phone. Unfortunately, she has Verizon and gave her phone away to another co-worker who needed another one before I was able to snag it up from her I don't want to use some program that just flashes the new OS on top of the old one... That lags the phone and doesn't really do the trick (Like running windows modulator in Mac OsX.) I want to wipe the phone and load Android 3.2 onto my phone... anyone help please?!
If you don't like Touchwiz, you can install another launcher from the market, like Go Launcher or Launcher Pro. Touchwiz is mostly just a launcher, it doesn't really slow down the phone.
If your phone is laggy, I'd try rooting it, and then uninstalling some of the bloat that comes on the stock rom.
just flash icbinb for froyo. delete tw after you get another launcher. i would say for a lightweight one, try zeam launcher

[Q] (Q) can you put themes on the stock ics rom?

i am hoping to put the KOB4LT R3V4MP3D 4.1 ICS theme on my skyrocket. i have cwmr touch installed and i am rooted. i was running superlite with that theme but wanted to try the new stock leak. it is running a lot smoother an with less problems then superlite did. so i want to know if i can put it on a stock rom without screwing everything up.
Yes you can flash random things like the toggle mod, but I'm not sure if every mod will work perfectly though. Trial and error then nandroid

well u shouldn't be mismatching framework-res.apk's, as each from chef puts different configs in there from my understanding, but u can flash the systemui.apk without issue I would think, as well as some of the inverted and aosp apps included in that theme

[Q] ICS and JB

okay so the only thing i really like about cm10 compared to cm9 is the status bar.
its alot more cleaner in my opinion, but what i was wondering is if its possible to put the cm10 status bar onto cm9.
and if so can someone direct me to a tutorial on how to do this.
You mean the notification drawer right? I think you would have to change a couple of files in framework, some editing and some libs.. maybe more.
Bottom line: why go through all that trouble? Jb and ics are very similar, both cosmetically and in performance, and jb should surpass ics once it continues to be perfected, specially project butter.
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
I agree with andros11. I've tried a ics-skinned gingerbread rom, 2 ics roms, and now a jb rom: the jb rom is by far my favorite, especially in regards to the notification bar and the response time. Try jb; you won't regret it
Sent from my Infuse–flavored Jelly Bean
I agree... I also have tried ICS covered GB ROMs and cm9. Absolutely love the cm10 jb ROM. Runs smooth with just a few very minor bugs. Not going back!
Sent from my Jelly Beaned Infuse 4G!
Only downside i've really noticed to CM10 so far is the fact that there is no more flash support and the internet is still heavily using flash right now.
Edit: was sifting through some posts and there is actually a browser that works with flash for jb. It's called xscope and it links to a post with a compatible flash version to install. Total awesomeness!

Flash actually works really well on JB. If you search for a flash apk, you can still install it and run it on other browsers too.
I was poking around the play store a while back and saw an app to get the jb notification style. I think it was called jelly bean notifications or something like that. Id post a link but im on the phone and its a pita.
I didnt test it as im on cm10 but try it out. Might be just what youre looking for
Edit: it was called jelly bean status bar. And it looks like it might change the way notifications are shown. But im not sure.

wich rom to stay with?

hi
2 years withe my love GALAXY S1 (I9000)
rom every 3days ,alot of changes,life is running.
now ,i want some silent ,somthing to be stable and to install all my games and programes.
so i buy 7.7 , i am just asking LQ1 or LQ2 or CM9 or CM10 or any rom else which is
stable ,speed ,less problems.
i know this is the main question in fourms but
i will install it just once ,and will not change it .
main usage is web browsing and reading(smal font in HC is realy problem)
any advice plz
Paranoid Android! :good:
my suggestion... stock deodexed tweaked rom...
all cm10 based roms are crap tbh... very laggy and buggy for me... no real jelly bean effect.... the indian stock was the best for me...
in i9000
JB smooth,nice and better performance but some times i feel it need more hardware ,more function need more hardware .
LQ1 is good enough with everything working so if it isn't broke don't fix it as the brickbug is quite worrying after so many cases.
Im using Tweaked stock beta 5, tried CM bulids, but there are missing stuff, and. small bugs.
I suppose Zeta 4.0 shoulbe same as the one im using, no bugs , smoot efortless expereience

I just did the same move i9000 to P6800 on Friday. CM9 was great on my sgs but I had one of the original SGSs with the slow chips and JB was usable but slow.
i like cm9, nice and fast, no issues, and the experirience between my cm9 phone and cm9 tablet are the same
I load stock ICS then Zeta4.0 then Dedraks kernal to get rid of debug crap . I use latetest hk.
Yes, the Indian one's the best DDLP5
But I could not find the Deodexed one...(so as to apply the V6 Supercharger).
Does anyone have the Deoxded one of DDLP5 ? Many thanks
i've made my own deodexed on ddlp5... do you want the full version of bloatware remove one...

Cool, yes please!, I'd like to download it.
Sorry for bothering, but could you provide both full and no-bloatware ?
For no-bloatware one, which apps do you remove: readers hub, games hub, social hub?
What about the s-dock that shortcuts popup memo/calc, etc?
Is it possible to install back those removed apps if I want them again?
Many thanks
found the full stock deodexed at this thread...

yes I tried that one, I couldn't get kai's one to work, ddlp5
I can't recall exactly, but it was either boot-loop, or I could not get the /system to have as rw..
The same rw mounting problem goes with the LQ2 dedoxed one in the dev thread...

this the slim version of ddl5

thanks, will update soon, btw, have you got the supercharger all working with this rom?
update1: hm, i get a boot loop, after the GT6800 logo, I dont even see sammy logo.
the rom was originally from the official ddlp5, before fleshing yours, I wiped everything including /system, /data, /sdcard, /cache
update2: supernoob here, but I see that yours dont have boot.img inside the zip? do I have to have a correct boot.img?
thanks
you dont need to wipe... what included in the zip is a replacement deodexed /system/app and system/frameworks... others will still use the stock ddl5 files... supercharger script is also working fine.
btw what cwm did you use... i'm using cwm 6.0.1.1...
the way that i install it.
1. flash ddlp5 using odin
2. flash cwm 6.0.1.1
3. copy the files to sd card
4. flash it with cwm
that's all... it never fail before...
So
Ddlp5 looks to be the best untill now.
Can I ask why people return from JB to ICS ?

I think the current JBs are all based on CMs, they are alright,.. but I personally think the official stocks are much better as far as the stability goes
(I'm kinda used to Samsung touchwiz and options, etc),
it's just that the official ones often have more bloats then needed (but again I might be wrong)
I've recently tried all JBs from Dev thread, i.e., JB v1.3, Nexness v2, paranoid v2.1, etc (all latest as of today)
But they all seemed to have some unknown or awkward errors, and not 'smooth'. and so not recommended for daily use (for me..)
Hoping for some the official JB release from samsung..

Laggy with Jelly Bean

I just got the OTA update for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on my P3100. Thing is, it's made my device laggy. There's some hesitation/stutter when i swype through the home pages. Has anyone experienced this?
Yes i do and i carfuly factory reset and switched to the last stock unrooted firmware also but i fine the device not that smooth
How were you able to change firmware? I'm researching on how to downgrade back to ics. My device had no lag then!
I find the Official JB smoother by far than ICS was. If you have just flashed the update or however you upgraded don't flip your tab on and start playing with everything right away and make a snap judgement based on that. Let it settle down for a while (like an hour or 2) then give it a try, maybe even reboot again and after a few minutes pick it up and see how it feels.
Never experience that laggy thing, but i find JB a bit boring and is still at its fetus stage so i reverted back to ICS.
just look for the stock firmware here or google it,

To me JB was notably faster. I'd suggest you do a factory reset and start over.
Which rom did you use?

I'm using the GT-3113 wifi only model and I agree with you about JB and want to roll back. I'm not rooted but would be willing to take any action to get ICS back. My original rom was TSYAXR didn't see it on the ICS stock rom list, does it matter what one I use of the 3113s?
Actually, the first in my checklist of flashing is to look for stock rom and pit file of my unit, after that is the checking of regional or country upgrade for the gadget, then i just flash away.
Also since i have my stock rom handy, i can flash custom rom anytime/whatever i want, and it also helps to be a tester for the betas since you can help the DEVS to polish their hard worked custom.

I notice that too. But at the cost of the battery as it is already stated in the update that it uses much juice for its touch sensitivity ande gui enhance effect.

For me, If I power-up it is slow, but later it goes faster.
I find Jellybean to be much smoother than ICS was.
And I also find the comment "i find JB a bit boring and is still at its fetus stage" hilarious. JB is much more polished than ICS to me..

Its up to you mate, the thing is we always look for functionality yet JB is not yet up to it,
JB is smoother, i wont argue with that, but will smoothness help me with my tethering? Or would smoothness send my files via bluetooth?
I will stick to my comment, its still wee compared to the functionality of ICS.

I'm on JB and I tether without issues. Tethering really doesn't have anything to do with the version of Android you're on, so I am not sure what you are trying to say there. Not sure what issues you have with BT file transfers either...?

Peace mate. Nothing argue about right?
JB is just not that appealing for me, and that issue i just said is what i experince from JB.
Your opinion is yours, mine is mine. Untill not all functionality is done, i wont be updating to JB, better wait for vanilla.

hi all...
i also managed update my tab p3110 to JB.. but after several day i downgrade back to stock ICS. JB seem like laggy on photo galery and hate the new notification at top. My tab battery drain more on JB. The battery drop 1% within several min after fully charge. i never get 100% battery indication only stuck at 99%.
I updated my p3113 a few days ago and i dont notice all the lags you say. Im still stock rooted and most probably i will keep it that way.

I had a little bit of lag at first, then did a factory reset and re-installed all my apps. Seems pretty smooth now.
