Hi all !!
I'am back here and would like to create a more or less stock samsung ics rom !!
I have downloaded the stock Samsung galaxy S2 ics rom.
My aims in making it:
-Stock Samsung theme
-Porting TouchWiz (if possible!)
-Providing both odexed & deodexed versions.
Something more ??
Post your views of what can be added!!
This ROM can be a base ROM for other custom builds !!
Firstly, which ICS build should i take to build this ??
Serenity by hilleast
(or)
Rubelsollie's AOKP/CM9
(or)
icsforg3's AOSP
(or)
any other build which i forgot ???? (sorry if forgot mention your build !!:silly
On the other hand, i really cannot download the full git repository with a 60 kb/s connection. Also, i'm a noob in building things from sources !! That's why i'm using other dev's build to make this !!!
Your comments are awaited the most !!
I strongly believe that we'll get a fully working ics from our beloved, hard working dev's !!! :victory::highfive:

Serenity at top because it is active on forum!
Sent from my GT-I5801 using xda app-developers app
you can give it a go, but i'm not sure if its possible without fully working fimg gpu drivers
also i;ve tried aokp and serenity both. they're both good. but AOKP has fixed phone.apk while in serenity it crashes which was fixed.
I suggest: AOKP build 2 (camera works) or AOKP build 4 (camera doesn't work but there is a theme chooser)
Thanks for your replies !!
Currently AOKP build 2 and Serenity looks good.
So, which one should i finalize ??
Serenity is based on CM9 RC1 so camera, phone.apk and much more stuff doesn't work. A lot of people can't use serenity as daily rom. AOKP build 2 is 4.0.3 and "not working list" is the same as ICS forg3 build 4.

I think AOKP rom! That is the best rom! ....already has build 3 and build 4!

I think Serinity is better.
I dont really like AOKP but i would use Serenity providing you fix the phone.apk from crashing
I think that not working camera eliminates serenity. Serenity brings only theme chooser, but this rom will have stock samsung theme as default i think, so TC is useless. A lot of people want working camera, even without preview. On serenity it's impossible without kernel 3.0. So i suggest AOKP build 2.
I think you have to try MPICS 3.0. Quite stable and fast ROM:cyclops:

in hungary it is said that "for who the priest for who the clergyman's wife"
I think that icsforg3's AOSP is the best. Phone.apk and Camera are working. Try build 4 update 1.
It's true that in this ROM theme chooser doesn't work. For me this ROm can be used daily.
BTW Good luck with your project
AOKP is based on AOSP by ICS4G3...
Yep, and has a lot of tweaks, it's smooth, no Fc's.... perfect for a daily usage.
@OP
I'd suggest to go for Hillbeasts Serenity as he might solve some more thingys in future....he's looking towards JB
Well it's great that you are trying to port the ICS rom but personally i would suggest to try the GB rom. But yeah, it your choice so good luck! :good:
It is good to see another Samsung interface lover
I don't think you will be able to port stock touchwiz4 for our mobile. I think it can only work on arm v7 phones
But on xda there might be someone else who has tried to get it to work on arm v6 too
Sent from my GT-I5800
lots of recommendations... Thanks for that !....i have to finalize it soon so that i can ask the dev to make use of his work!!

I use JellyBelly from AdamG and apart from a few not serious bugs its pretty good. If you are willing to sacrifice the use of another kernel (his policy is to bond to kernel and his ROM until things are bug free) give it a try.

Do what everyone else does. Experiment. There is no *best*. You need to find one that suits you the most. Everybody has a personal preference.
dunno
Bugless Beast and BAMF Paradigm are tops in my opinion. CM10 is great, but is there an official build yet or just the kangs?
Paranoidandroid. But the future version 1.9.3. It coming soon. Very soon.

Some people say : The best Roms Jb for Nexus s are:
Paranoidandroid
Double-x ( new rom , people say that it is incredible )
Brainmaster
Codename
I am confused and do not know what to choose :S
I'm quite satisfied with this one, it's the CM10 from Kalim.
Battery life is just great, enough mods, smooth and very stable.
Do you people not see all the other best threads getting locked by the mods? Yet you still make a new one. Smh
You notice that all the answers given here are different?
What's you favourite type of sausage, cooked meat, beer or bread? The answers vary per person.
Try them, the only one who can say which one is best for you is you.
No more "best" type threads today please.
Thread Closed.
Im a fan of cyanogen but i cant decide between cm9 and cm10. Im on cm9 atm. Can some help me with this?
Cm10 is the latest and greatest. Its a lot faster then cm9, and has google now and such. I would take cm10 over cm9
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
You can flash cm10 over cm9. Update gapps and clear caches.
CM10 runs really smooth. You will loose tablet mode on a lot of apps.
Check the screenshot thread in general if you want to see.
CM9 is based by Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0.X
CM10 is based by Jelly Bean (JB) 4.1.X
CM10 much faster
As stated above , much faster and has google now. There are still a few glitches with CM10, but worth upgrading just for the speed alone.

Well i own a different device (Sansung Galaxy W GTi-8150)...we do not have cm10 but a fully working beta version of cm9...what i just did was to flash jelly bean libs through cwm in order to get speed of jb on on cm9...and it works....maybe you should go for that...

Of course cm10 works good in our tabs as omap architecture the processor is open source so developers can work well to port cm10 to our devices
I'm in cm10 now in my tab and in cm 9 in my phone (s2) as cm10 is buggy in my phone as some hardware elements are closed source so developers can not work freely in the device but this problem not found in my tab (open source hardware so cm10 work sooo good)

Yeah but Indroid has beats audio and audio FX which is really awesome:laugh:. I didn't find any improvement on music in CM9.. and I didn't find CM9 laggy either..! CM9 occupies lesser space than InDroid, as InDroid has a lot of apps.. some are unnecessary. .like s2 settings. .so I opened the InDroid.zip file on 7zip and deleted the apps i don't want and flashed it again. . luckily it worked
cm9 is the best for me daily usage.

Cm7, cm9 or Ics are unofficial beta roms so they are buggy. Those who said they are the best are good liers.
Fanciful roms which imitate iPhone or ICS have overheads. soon, you will find it to become slower and slower.
Value or cut down versions have compromises but they are fast.
It is a question of performance vs features. I will go for speed so 6 is my choice. Battery life and stability are also my prime concerns.

cm9 its is best rom
Second
I'm using second one....REMICS 1.5.3 from last 3-4 days, and its awesome.....Battery performance is considerably good...just give it a try, it has both looks and performance....
try this!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855901
it is really good!!!very fast and stable(based on cm9 by dhiru)
malenua beloved
i think dhiru's cm9 is faster than others ....
Each custom Roms have their own limitations and bugs, especially ICS Roms.
I suggest u weigh each rom on ur own and install the one that is best suited to ur daily usage requirement.
in my personal view, CM9a11 is good as well as RemICS.
Although RemICS will have battery drain problem, use vurrut kernal on RemICS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653795) and u will have a good battery.
Rem-JB v2 isn't bad either, been using it as everyday rom. Suprisingly smooth considering it is still alpha 1JB by Dhiru. Found litle bug here n there but nothing annoying.

but personally remics
:laugh:
mmmm.. your question is similar to a "what's the best ROM?".... that's not allowed, right? I don't wanna be a party pooper or anything.... jus saying.
CM10 is now definitively the best ROM, smooth and very fast. They are very little buggy, but remember the ROM is in alpha 1
Many people, newcomers and even old time users go through each individual ROM thread to find out which one is best for them.
This will help them easily understand what other people think about the ROM, what the pros and cons are, how stable it is, etc.

Device: Galaxy S3 Verizon
Current ROM: CM (CyanogenMod 10) M2
Stable?: Yes (some facebook crashes)
Previous ROM: CleanROM 2.5, 3.0, 3.1, Synergy r77
Why these ROMs?:
I've been on the search for a ROM that fits me, something that doesn't have too many customization options, but at the end that didn't seem to work out so well for me. CM10 M2 does have a little bit more customization options, but at the end, it feels amazing to use. I haven't ran into any kind of performance problems, just a couple of facebook crashes, but that might not be due to CM10, maybe just facebook problems?
All of these roms are amazing.
CleanROM is great if you're looking for something.. well.. clean? There's not too many add-ons or options to change, just a little de-bloat ROM with performance tweaks. Overall it's nice and clean.
Synergy had a lot of useful options and a lot of features, but because of my OCD personality, I just couldn't handle the ROM. When I think I messed up one thing on the ROM, i had to do a complete wipe... T____T but overall, awesome ROM.
Device: VZW Galaxy SIII
Current ROM: Liquid Smooth RC7 4.1.2 (AOSP)
Stable?: Yes
Previous ROM: Liquid Smooth RC5, Synergy ICS
Why these ROMs? Honestly i love AOSP and having that pure google feeling on my phone. Touchwiz is nice and synergy does one hell of a job with there roms but i can't get away from AOSP. Its faster, smoother, and i just prefer it. As far as choosing liquid, well its been by far the best AOSP rom i've run on my SIII, and i used them back on my OG Droid days so that helps as well. Anyways yeah thats it
Device: Sgs3
Current rom: eclipse
Stable: yes
Previous: synergy (all of them, except the current 84jb class), Jellybomb, cleanrom, jellywiz, paranoid android, aokp, slimbean.
Why: started on touchwiz and built from there. Tw on this device is far superior than previous devices, though recently the android 4.1.2 builds have been just amazing. I really cannot live without the theme chooser in aosp, so tw jb's will need some dark horse/jellybomb/etc to send me back.... Eclipse has been very hard to top for me, will be giving liquid a go though soon.

Been using AOKP M1 for a couple hours, since yesterday and all I can say is it's smooth and amazing.. it feels like butter (bad joke)
anyways, what I don't like about AOKP M1 though is there's a lot of settings that I have to mess with, but I like how Nova has the backup option so if I ever have to start from scratch, I can just restore from the backup.
Awesome ROM.

Galaxy-mod is definitely the best TW based ROM out there. Beyond smooth, and Pure Motive(ROM dev) is promising an average of 50+ hours of battery life for his upcoming RLS5!
Device : Verizon Galaxy s3
Current ROM: CLeanRom 3.1
Stable: Yes
Previous ROM: Liquid Smooth, CM10 official nightlies
Why these ROM's ??
I have been on the look out for a ROM that merges the functionality of Touchwiz but removes the bloat. I have tried a couple of ROMs based on the stock android experience but there were a couple of features like in phone - swipe to right to call, swipe to left to message missing (but present in touchwiz) that I absolutely loved. Just to clarify, I really did not find any problems with the other ROM's like CM10 or LiquidSmooth. It's just my preference for the Touchwiz features that made me use CleanROM.
Thank you everyone! This is even helping me. I've tried a lot of ROMs but it's great knowing everyones opinion.
Just an update, for future posts please tell how long you've been on the current rom. Thanks!
