I was using Cognition 2.3. The home screen was simpler and has a sleeker look. The app screen was the same. Why does Cog 4 seem like a jump back to my Stock Rom. Maybe I'm just stupid???? lol
Because, you know, it IS a jump back to stock ROM?
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod
whats the point?
why release a new version that is less impressive than its predecessor? Doesn't make whole hell of a lot of sense to me. But again maybe I'm just stupid.
DG's whole point with Cog 4/4.1/4.1.1, is to try to keep it looking and running as stock as possible. Everything that was pre Cog 4 already had an ass ton of themes that were compatible and DG started incorporating them into the ROM's.
DG has a life, so don't jump his nuts and complain about him pushing out a boring ROM. For free. Nobody told you to flash it, and there's plenty of other ROM's out there. Or you can just switch back to your previous ROM.

+1 He even says that he tries to keep it as stock as possible all ROMS have their differences its all about your own personal preference.

I love ALL these custom ROMS I can't seem to keep the same one for more than a week, the only ones that I have been able to kep for long are Cognition and Serendipity.
Cognition 4.1 is meant for people like me that wan custom r o m,but wan it to look like stock 1
I don't think he meant boring like a bad job. Once some themes are ported then everyone should be happy. You can't knock the performance or smoothness of cognition. It will work and be consistent. Maybe it is boring in the fact that you can run it and forget you even have a custom rom going. That's because DG is that good. Thanks again!

Cognition may be boring for some but I need my phone to work and so far it gives me the best balance of features and reliability.

Cognition isn't as much a rom as it is a rooted, debloated, stock setup. Couple theme improvements like extended power. Using a voodoo enabled kernel. It is a setup one could achieve if they updated to kb1 on their own relatively easy.

I liked Cog too, but wanted something different than stock. That's why I loved perception, but its discontinued now. Perception 10.4 is a solid rom, stable, fast, and has that slight aosp feel.
Ultimately I went to FireFly. I love it. I how easy they made it to customize. It comes with an app that will showcase and download the other battery's and dialers. I sometimes feel like I need to enable the lagfix, but haven't yet.

Two posts in the forum and you've managed to criticize the excellent work of one of the most prolific ROM cookers on XDA solely based on your ignorance of what DG does and why. You might want to create a new account and start over. Knocking a guy's work that he provides for free is just bad juju.
I think he can leave his screen name alone. He did not say anything offensive just asked an honest question.

It was an ignorant question, not an honest one. I wasn't in here long before I knew what DG's ROMs are about. Cog 4.x is all about providing a ROM that is as close to stock Froyo as possible without all the bloatware and just a few tweaks to provide better peformance. The kind of things most users who don't want to mess with themed ROMs or exotic kernels want. And criticizing the work that someone provides for free is just wrong whether it makes sense to him or not. I can see knocking a dev for putting out a shoddy product, but with all the choices in ROMs available in here for the Cappy it makes no sense to knock one just bcause you find it "boring."

what's the best popular rom for us
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I'm using the new venom ROM. I've tried buoyancy, nexusmod, and super stock. I like venom so far. I'll probably switch before to long. That's the beauty of Android - lots to choose from.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
personal preference my friend. Try a couple out and see which one you like
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Agreed, you have to try some out and pick your favorite. If you ask 20 people on this section by PM randomly I bet you'd get at least 5-6 different answers.
SkyICS + Venom depending on your personal taste get my vote right now for multiple reasons, but the biggest being support and production. A vast majority of the roms that have come out for this phone have never/rarely been updated (no offense intended, people have lives, things happen, you get new phones, etc...).
Often, the stock ROM is the best since at least all the phone's capabilities are accounted for. More often, a rooted stock ROM is better since you can freeze bloatware, get around tethering restrictions and the like. Beyond that, it's kind of up to you to do your homework to make sure that a particular ROM does everything you need it to do (Bluetooth streaming, both cameras work, etc) and that you like the layout.
On a side note......
Q: What's the best way not to spam the board?
A: You don't post the same question in multiple sections.
Please don't do it again. Thank you.
Running venom right now and very pleased.

If you enjoy a nice, clean, look, I'd check out NeXuSMOD 2.0. It does everything I need it to do, and it's very easy on the eyes. Solid battery life as well.

I've been enjoying Ice Cream Sandwich - Multiple Flavors. While I'm tempted to try some of the other ROMs out there, this one is really great.
It's the overclocked version, I scored a AnTuTu benchmark of 7284.
Does anybody when and or when I can drop Android 4.0.x on my baby?

Well to be honest there are tons of threads that can answer your question. The answer that i know is Sammy said they will release 4.0 for all galaxy variants in first quarter of this year and they said this back in December and have not heard any fixed time period since than.

I have had this phone since day one.. and I love it more than life lol xD but the matter at hand... I have watched development for this phone decay.. all roms are either getting abandoned, or support is just dying out.. this isn't applying directly to just AOSP, or AOKP, either.. but touchwiz as well.. should I switch to a different device? Ima nonstop hacker, and used to build roms myself.. but since I started tattooing again, I have no free time.. any good development phones out there?

you can only do so much with the same version of touchwiz jellybean. this device will most likely not see another carrier update. aosp will be the only way future updates are brought to the device. carriers specifically do this so you keep upgrading devices. that being said, why dont you have a note 2 already?
Not a fan of the size, seems easier to break

They did announce that feature pack update, plus on release the device was given its 2GB of ram just for future support of new android versions.
My guess is it will get 4.2.1 official, but that will be the end of OTA. I have a feeling though CM and AOSP roms will be around for a while. Too many people have the US models of the GS3's, and due to the fact MOST of the code is similar between devices, it should not be hard to keep them all going as long as theres someone who cares to work on them.

you couldnt be any more wrong.
The development hasn't stop just slowed down. There are 4 new ports and some of the older roms have moved on to 4.2(mainly CM,liquid smooth and slim bean). The other roms are still being updated. There is also a new ROM based on 4.2 called Pure Google. Team Baked is working on a 4.2 based ROM.

As a backup to my S3 I have a Samsung Fascinate & just put JB 4.2 on it. If there is still development for a now antique phone, you really don't have to worry about the S3 not having development for a long time to come.

Is there any other roms that are like Miui for my Galaxy SIII i535. I am tired of the boring android roms. It seems as there is a zillion roms out that all look entirely the same I wana see something different. Something spectacular. Miui is really nice but there is no uptodate versions for the GS3. Can anyone recommend some roms that look amazing that dont look like boring android >.>
IPhone is the way for you. Either appreciate what we have here in this community or build your own roms.
I don't see anything boring about it there's enough new added features tweaks to maximize the phone already.

Boring android? I think the new touch wiz is one of the best things to come to android sammy did a great job. I hated touch wiz on my og note but I love almost everything about my gs3 and note 10.1 for all the extras the devs here do plus what came stock. I don't get what you want android can be what every you want it. Just search around for a bit like we all do.

This has to be an iSheep trolling Android forums.. If not, the only way Android becoming "boring" is by spending way too much time staring at your phone, and iOS is less appealing IMO.. Touchwiz, CM10, Kangs of all different flavors, there's dozens of ROMs to chose from, far more than what's usually available for other phones.. If your looking for something totally unique, try paranoid or build one yourself.

True story. You customise an iPhone by changing the wallpaper unless you are jailbroken. On Android, you can do anything, like changing your ROMs and kernels.

I had an iPhone, which was exactly that: boring.
Android is the opposite. We can change nearly anything we want, as well as fix stuff when we break it! :good:
It's almost a hobby, to play with our Androids. I'm not quite sure what you are looking for, since a S3 running JB is about as top shelf as you can get.
There's nothing "spectacular" about a cell phone.

Why insult the OP? MIUI is an amazing rom, I loved it on my previous phones. Just because it doesn't have an app drawer doesn't make it an iPhone!
I got bored playing with an iphone within the first two minutes since you cannot really do anything with it except with wallpaper and ringtones?
The OP is right. Touchwiz gets old after a while and the graphic elements look like they were designed by a third grader. All these iPhone comments are just stupid. Not liking touchwiz or being bored with it doesn't mean you want the even more boring iOS. Too many simple minds out there as it is. We don't need even more who think touchwiz is the ONLY way to go on a powerhouse android phone. We all have different tastes and some of us have no taste. Either answer the OP's question with something useful or don't respond.
I recently switched to liquidsmooth AOSP 4.2 and it's like I have a totally different phone. Faster, far more beautiful, and a much cleaner professional experience.

On my Droid Incredible and Fascinate back in 2011, it was awesome. I haven't found a stable MIUI rom on any phone since then. It used to be a great option to have, but it's outlived its usefulness at this point.

Aww I do remember my friend (at the time I didn't even have a smart phone) had the droid X and got MIUI on it. I Once I got my Gs2 I dual booted with MIUI v4 but I didn't really like it, I mean it was cool but it lacked a lot of things on different ROMs. Once I tried MIUI v5 on my Nexus 4, there was no going back though, by this time they had developed a lot of new features, and then now with xposed framework being able to run on it, it has all the features of all the other ROMs but also is stable and has unique features of its own. So while it may have stood out more in the past I think people have much more of a reason to switch now.
