What Do YOU Want In a Rom? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am thinking of creating a custom Rom for the Verizon Galaxy S III. I am planning of basing it on AOSP, and I know what features I want out of the Rom. I'm posting here so that you can reply with what YOU would want in a Rom so that I can develop it for you
POST DEM REQUESTS!

As many customization options as possible. Def notification background customization. I wish we could get the aokp circles lock screen but with notification rings like on tw ROMs

I was thinking of including most of the AOKP customization options. Are you saying that you want the notification ringtones from touchwiz?

Include codename android features and you'll be loved lol

Jellywiz, plus aokp settings, plus "kinda crap mods" during install, minus as many apps as possible, choice of radio, choice of kernel during install...
Hmm what else, lol
Of course up to date android version, oh and the mms app from aosp with the quick reply in the drop down status would be nice.
I'm sure i could keep going, but you asked

Thanks for your feedback! This will be a jelly bean rom... However, I am planning on making this rom more of a "stock" android rom. I am leaving out touchwiz because in my opinion it makes many things slower and it just feels clunky to me. I will be trying to incorporate features from CyanogenMod, AOKP, CodenameAndroid, and maybe even a few from ParanoidAndroid. Kinda Crap's mods are intended for touchwiz based roms, so I will most likely leave those out, however I may try to include Pimp my Rom's features. When it come's to choice of Kernel, instead of making it a choice during install, I might just post links to the kernel's on the Rom's thread and give detailed instructions on how to flash each one (as well as the optimum setting in my opinion).

I wouldn't say its like cm7 it has a lot of different features, such as a fully customizable kernel (on EVO anyway; not sure if it'll be possible on NS4G). Very lightweight download, super fast. Not a lot of bulk like CM. I've used both CM and SZ for the EVO and id stand by SZ all day. Not knocking CM by any means though. Both are great ROMS. Just a matter of choice.

seriously though, i would love to see more devs working on stuff for the ns4g. im not knockin the rom at all. just pointing out that its cm based...

ok, ok. dont wanna argue. it obviously has the same features that set cm apart from aosp. hope to see this rom soon
OK, first of all, I need to point out that while SZ is NOT CM based, it does incorporate SOME of it's features. Both SZ and CM are based on Google AOSP code.
WiMAX is not a CM feature, it is Google code. We use the Google implementation of 4G in our ROM.
Other than the few CM mods we include, SZ has a set of it's own tweaks, mainly related to our tweaked kernel. We concentrate mostly on performance in our ROM, trying to made it less bloated and more stable than other AOSP variants. Right now, we have an extremely fast and stable 2.3.4 base which we will build an entirely different user experience on top of.
Our ROM does include the T-Mobile Theme Chooser so if you do not like our stock look, you can use ANY T-Mobile theme, 4 bar OR 6 bar. We modified the app for compatibility.
Once our ROM is released and works our kernel devs will be releasing a kernel for the NS4G which will really enable the full potential of the ROM.
Once released, check our ROM out. If you don't like it or miss some of the CM features, by all means please switch back. Just PLEASE don't complain that we are CM or that we are based on CM or we should incorporate this specific CM feature. We have worked really hard getting this ROM up to par for the Evo and will do the same for the Nexus S (when the time comes), but these kind of comments honestly just piss me off.
Look forward to supporting the ROM for Nexus S. Please be patient and let me get it working with my testers before I officially announce it.
Noah my raised hand was a vote for "yea."
And I ask of Devs, please dont turn this into a Nazi forum where threads are gobbled up by florid pissing contests. I saw one of the G Tablets best Devs peace because of that 'ish and its pathetic. More Devs equal more heads.
...and more head is never a bad thing.

What kind of comments piss you off? I think your overreacting TBH. Your rom may not be CM, but it has some of the same features. You say so yourself. If this is the kind of BS you and your "team" are bringing to the NS4G side, Ill pass. This has been a peaceful section so far. The evo section is a bunch of know it all hotheads and I could live without that ****. If someone making an observation about your rom really makes you that mad, maybe you shouldnt be dev'n.

Jesus dude, I was just saying that when people constantly say that we are the same thing as CM, it aggravates me. Don't start jumping down my throat, I'm not starting an argument. noahguz asked me to post in here explaining some differences and I did, that's it. I wasn't calling you out or starting crap over here, I get enough of that on the Evo forums, which is probably why I get annoyed when people say we are the same as CM.

[Q] Who is developing for V21Y

I just thought I would ask if anyone knows of developers updating to the new baseband so all of us users can gauge when to do the upgrade. I know that "you'll get your new ROMs when you get therm." is the standard XDA response, but I just wanted to gauge the development.
Hard to say. Seems like ICS is the thing now. I'm sure they are though.
If I'm bored today I was thinking about looking to try to put the extra reboot options in power menu lol .
The only changes I'm particularly interested in are to get a battery icon that shows the numerical percentage and to get rid of the "fully charged" popup, both of which were in lotherius' Tsugi, based on an earlier leaked version of this ROM. Otherwise, I'm happy with it in its current state.

Tsugi was based off p95g that's why ums was buggy. Just because something is the same android version does not mean they are alike.
I've managed to port most of the tweaks options and the toggles from weapon. After I get that 100% I'll add some lock screens and such.

Yup they're already done. I think I'm gonna throw an all new theme over the ROM just to have something different.
Other features I'm thinking about adding are crt animations, swype to remove notifications, and a few others here and there. I'm not going to add extended power menu because toggles already handle all that. These other features and new lock screens will probably come as updates since I'm trying to get something stable to use first. And lock screens are a major pain in the ass.

Sounds amazing. Add those and I don't think people will complain about custom ROMs, I won't anyway .
I always used the quick toggles to reboot the device so I agree with the extended power menu being pointless.

[Q] AOKP or CM9?

I'm currently using Milestone 6 AOKP on my Skyrocket and it's pretty great. The only thing is, CM9 released a stable RC for the Skyrocket and i'm wondering if it would be better to switch to CM9 than AOKP? Although I know they have their differences, i'm wondering the Pro's and Con's of each ROM if anyone can think of any.
Thanks!

Well the thing is, about AOKP M6, is that it doesn't come with a Music Player, I have to install an app to wake the phone screen for every text. My Messaging always freezes up, randomly shuts off, a whole load of things and I just think i'm going to swap over to CM9 right now to check it out and see how it is.
Oh and also, some of the features on AOKP such as the "Task manager style changing feature" doesn't seem to be anywhere on Milestone 6. Can't find where to actually change the style of it.
Sounds like cm9 is the way to go

I'm highly interested in some opinions also.I'm running sky ics and wanted to try something different
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
I've settled on CM9 mostly because AOKP has a lot of minor bugs that irritate me, i've reported them but have been ignored. One thing is whenever I lock my screen after texting someone, once I receive a text and unlock the screen, the predictions for the keyboard would not pop up. I'd have to close out of the Messaging app and open it back up which is an annoyance if you text a lot.
Plus, AOKP only releases an update/build every....month. Not willing to wait a month just to fix some minor annoyances when I can switch ROMs and fix it in a day. AOKP is still a great ROM, just not for me.

And also, i'm on the Release Candidate for the Skyrocket, CM9, and i've encountered no issues thus far. Of course, the screen doesn't light up when a text is received, so it must be ICS related. Other than that, so far so good.

[Bounty] Absolutely barebones, stock, pure Google ROM needed. No mods...

I'm hunting for a 100% pure Google, stock, barebones ROM for my S3. Not aokp, not aosp with this mod or that mod. Just a stock, pure replica of what is on my Galaxy Nexus. That's it. I can't compile it myself cause I don't have the machines otherwise I would. So, I'll pay someone to take those Nexus factory images and make them/it flashable on my GS3(for lack of better terminology).
That's not going to happen. Aosp is as close as your going to get.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
So is this a bounty or you just putting up money for someone to do it for you. You might want to list what you are willing to pay.
Why not just run CM10? Even if someone builds a rom without the mods it will still have the same issues as all the other AOSP roms.
What is the benefit of this ROM?
Tweaks, bells, and whistles is much better.
I just prefer a stock experience. It is THE one thing I miss about the galaxy nexus. I don't know what kind of work, time or effort goes into compiling a rom but I'd pay what the dev assumes is a fair price.

Sounds like you are one of those Vanilla Android snobs, that doesn't know what Vanilla Android is.
Have you even tried flashing CM10 or AOKP to see if you like them?
Don't know why you are against any Mods but most AOSP based roms allow you to disable mods pretty easily in the settings. If you really want someone to compile a totally "vanilla" rom, you should state how much your are willing to pay.
Otherwise just flash CM10 or AOKP and disable anything you don't like

Yea haha, I dont think the OP realizes that AOSP more or less CM. After all Cm is based on AOSP
AOSP is much more stable and sometimes tends to get better battery life. Sometimes people don't need crazy optimizations and features cluttering the ROM up.

This is true if you have a Nexus phone since AOSP is created to work on the NEXUS reference design.
However, for any other phone unless you have the manufacturers documentation(which Samsung has decided not to provide ), most of the time to get everything to work you have to use a workaround or even port some of the stock UI code to AOSP to get the phone to work.
As you probably already know there still isn't a "Vanilla Android" rom you can flash to the GS3 that has everything working with or without customization. In fact most phones don't have a pure "Vanilla Android" rom that works without any customization.
In terms of speed and stability, I'd argue that CM7.2 was as stable or more stable than most of the skinned manufacturer 2.3 roms. Eventually we'll get there with JellyBean
IMO "Vanilla Android" ignores Android's greatest strength, but if you really want "Vanilla Android" with no additions get a Nexus phone
The OP wants someone to compile AOSP from source for his GS3, he doesn't seem to understand that it would not function on his phone, because AOSP is designed to function on Nexus.

He wont ever have vanilla AOSP, EVER. AOSP needs to be hacked to work...... our phone isn't a google reference device for a reason.
Peter Alfonso Bugless Beast series is the main rom I've seen that was AOSP with a absolutely no mods. I've only seen a few builds not on a nexus though, like the Droid Incredible.

I know that... but you can compile pure aosp using the device and vendor files that your CM10 maintainers have created to compile AOSP which should function the same as it does on a nexus device except for device specific stuff.

I bet if you removed the CM stuff from a CM rom (wallpapers, build.prop, bootani) and modded the settings.apk to not show the cm settings panel the OP couldn't tell the difference.

[Q] Is there a Custom Rom that uses Touchwiz and allow you to customize it?

I was recently with the illusion rom and so far LOVED IT, but there is some stock apps I missed like the camera and stock email so i'm deciding to find a custom touchwiz rom but can't seem to find the right one. Is there a custom touchwiz rom that will do lots of customizing such as changing led colors, lockscreens, status bars, etc.
thank you

As far as changing led's go you can use lightflow.
The rest of your questions can be answered by looking through the op's of the Rom threads. Many offer customizations through aroma, morphology, or on the fly within the rom.

BoneStock and CleanROM are my favorites for custom choices in the AROMA installer.

Most of them are customizable which pretty much negates the need for this thread. It just shows that you haven't seen the android development section to know that most if not all the roms allow for customization.
Hyperdrive is worth looking into as well. Stable and good battery life. Aroma installer. Everything you'd expect.
