Button lights on touchwiz vs aosp. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hi all,
Just wondering is other people have a similar experience.
I have found that on touchwiz roms, the button lights stay on only when you touch them and not when you are busy touching screen. Aosp roms on the other hand, the lights go on as soon as you touch the screen.
The reason I ask is because on embryo 7, it has started acting like an aosp Rom in this respect and I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to change it without flashing.
Thanks

This makes no sense. The lights come on the same way in tw and aosp roms.

[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!
I'm in the same boat

Both are very stable, go with the features you like best.

Aokp is build from cm9. So any feature that cm9 has is pretty much a given in aokp. Aokp has more features added onto it. Personally I prefer aokp. But cm9 is always smooth, fast and simple. The beauty of this is it your choice run em both and decide which you like better:thumbup:

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.

Which version of CM9 are you on right now? Are there any issues you've encountered so far? I'd be interested to know what your experience as far as performance vs. other custom ROMs is like.

I don't have any of those issues and I also changed my task manager style. Sounds like a bad flash

How do you change your Task Manager Style?
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.
I think I'm going to try cm. Where do you dl latest gapps from?
Edit: Nvm I found it.

I flashed cm9 and aokp.I stuck with cm9 because the data and signal was more stable even though it was the same radio.cm9 doesn't let you customize as much because I think they know what does and doesn't work with there ROM IMO

AOKP has the option to hide whoever sent you a texts name and the message. I wish cm9 had that

Best stable ROM for Galaxy s3 i747?

I have searched Google and youtube trying to find out what could be the best stable ROM to run on my galaxy s3 i747 but haven't had any luck. So what do you guys think the best stable ROM is? I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 10 with clockworkmod recovery touch. Please just let me know what you guys think.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 running CM10 4.1.2 JB using xda premium
I'm using the same as you, it is ok but it has some hickups, nothing to make my phone useless but my phone is not as stable as it was with stock rom.
Yeah I have noticed that too. Like when you change the number of rows and columns on the home screen it gets kinda laggy. There are a few other things that are glitchy, but they will prob be fixed pretty soon. One of my favorite features is the built in ability to change the color of the led light.

CM10.1 as a daily driver. Who is pulling this off?

I want to use CM10.1 as a daily driver, but all of the bugs and small nicks make me go back to more developed and stable TW roms. Anyone using 10.1 as a daily? Can you give me your opinions on it? Which rom are you using? What bugs do you notice?
Thank you
996
The in call volume has been fixed for me so I'm going to run it as a daily driver from now on.
Bluetooth audio is still completely broken I hear but it's not something I depend on or use without going out of my way.
Unless some other huge bug manifests, all is going pretty well.
So far there are two main issues that make me consider going back to TW:
1. Sometimes when I interrupt a game from loading, the entire system is laggy as hell until I reboot
2. There is a small delay when answering the phone. I don't know who can hear who during that delay, but its annoying nonetheless.
I'm waiting for the stretched image bug to be fixed on multi-window ROMs before I go back to TW though. It's definitely daily driver worthy.

Been daily on mine since the unofficial cm10 back in August, fine here but maybe I just can't stand TW. Only little issue Ive come across that bothers me is sometimes it will think a short press on menu/home is a long press and have to reboot. Bluetooth audio is fine if you go into the build.prop and modify lpa.decode to false

Been using as daily driver since unofficial cm10, lost IMEI and had some pretty good scares but I have been loving it ever since. I would say the only issue for me right now is the screen flickering which can be somewhat fixed by disabling HW overlay, which does not seem to stick through a reboot.
thank you all for the replies. I was running CM10 for a while, but I just resorted back to TW. I can't wait until all the nicks and bugs get sifted out of 10.1. Pure Google is the way to go.

I've been AOSP since week one of owning my SGS3, however weak data signal / drops and spotty gps has me trying out TW.
Synergy is pretty awesome. It's not a huge adjustment once you get it configured with your custom launcher. Plus, MultiView is amazing!

if you are going to "wait for all the nicks and bugs get sifted out", you might always have a wait. Custom ROMs are just that, custom, and sometimes, what works for one phone won't work for another.
Just pick one that you like the features, and learn work arounds or ignore the "nicks and bugs"
Thanks to all the DEVs! I love waving my modded S3 under everyone running stock and asking why their phones can't do what mine does!

Mastamoon in the official 10.1 thread has been putting out some rocking unofficial builds that contain cherry picks for most of the issues that have annoyed me. I really suggest checking out his 1/4 build (I'm on this) or his latest. He seems to have Bluetooth and call volume issues pretty close to being wrapped up.

I ran liquid's for two weeks or so, but my flashing addiction made me try something else. Went back to AOKP 4.1 but now I'm back on stock TW that I made a few modifications to. I replaced the MMS app and keyboard with AOSP as well as the UI sounds, and I'm fairly content for now. Usually any kind of lags annoys me, but I've found JB Touchwiz to be alright ( I was an avid HTC user prior. Touchwiz is way smoother than Sense.)

I am running the CM 10.1 Official NIGHTLIES. They have been my daily driver since almost beginning of the month. My custom ringtone only rings once when someone calls, answering calls ends up with a weird delay before anyone can hear you. A couple of other small bugs, but no deal-breakers that I really see.

I like slim bean 4.2 but I am not able to find a working wifi tether for it. Most 4.2 roms I cannot get wireless tether working
Update. Running 10.1. I dirty flashed from 10 and all my problems were solved. Pretty awesome having the latest version of android. Love it. Battery life can be better though haha

I love CM, but lately it seems they have too much going on. The barely got 4.1 working, and came out with the M2 release, and then moved on to 4.2, which is CM 10.1. I prefer to stay with a dev that will tweak their ROM and stick with it until they get it right. That's why I will not use CM anymore. Unless they have hundreds of devs working constantly to keep up with the number of devices they support, they're eventually going to become a ROM that's unreliable. I hope I wrong, but with the S3 they're clearly not completing one OS before moving to another, which makes them a no go IMO.
Battery life has been absolutely incredible for me on 10.1. 9 hours on battery all on 4G with 20 min screen on at 80%

Just flashed the DarthStalker ROM onto my S3 I've had for about 2 weeks now, it works beautifully, I've gotta say. Super fast, native WiFi hotspot/USB tethering, I would highly recommend at least checking it out.

Hey, so i have a question for all of you veterans on here. Im mildly experimental, so i just do the basic flash a rom here and there deal. However, im running hyperdrive rls14 with stock kernel on my Verizon s3. Since it gives me options to have beats audio, aosp email and clocks as well as other great features like the touchwiz motion controls, I've been running it for a few months now.But ive realized its heavy on my battery life, and my phone has been getting hot more often than before. I felt like that partially due to the amount of ram it takes up. So does anyone have any good suggestions as to what i run? Because ive heard things such as pure stock is boring and want to make a good decision.
You can still run this, but I suggest you try the things that you want installed, and those that you think you can live without remove them. I think that will make a huge difference.

If flashing something different I'd say check out Andybones bonestock ROM. Along with the AOSP theme. Slicker than owl snot as my dad would say.

Also = AOSP, right? Well there's Halo, nightlies, "less" lag, faster updates (currently at Jb 4.2.2, TW is at 4.1.2), no TW bloat, (customizable) soft keys, and a host of other things. It's not what AOSP has that TW doesn't, sometimes it's what AOSP does not have which is why folks choose to avoid TW.

Moving Notifications to the Top?

Hello XDA geniuses,
As the title states, I was looking for a way to move my notifications to the top, like I have on my Galaxy S3. It's become a habit to look at the top and swipe down to reveal notifications and was hoping there'd be a way to do this on my 8013.
I'm currently running Revolution HD 8.0 and Nova Launcher.
I did search for an answer before posting, and although I get many identical posts returned, most of them directing me to posts saying "Sorry, can't do it" and "Only if you're rooted", but nothing explaining how.
I appreciate any help with this situation and hopefully this can help others also looking to find a fix.
Thanks again.
Notification on top is called phone ui
No you can't do it in stock rom even if ur rooted.
You have to install asop based rom to have what u need.
However if I have enough knowledge then u can use xposed mod to create a new one.
Or u can try to port note 8 rom

Yup Im running PAC on my 8013 in Phablet mode an my noties are on top. I like it as it let me have 7 Nav buttons and I feel like Im using the space instead of just wasting it.
