If you use an AOSP based ROM such as CM10/AOKP they will have Jelly Bean and one of the new things added is Google Now which I think is 10x bettery imo.

You could try Robin from the play store. It worked fine on my GS II Skyrocket. The S-Voice app would always crash.

Embryo ROM has S-Voice.

S voice sucks everytime I tried it (not sure about the S3 , but in SR that is).. Waste of time .

Agreed - I've used both on my S2, and Google Now is better. To be honest, regular Voice Search is just as good in a lot of ways!

S-voice...
I am not totally sure, but I believe it has to be a TW rom in order to work correct? This is more of a question for my own memory banks than a statement...
I use Google Now and it works really well. Just need Google Now to open apps and put events in calendar and the stars will align....

[Q] TouchWiz 4.2.2

Guys, did you ever think about porting galaxy s4 rom on our device? that'd be great if you port Touchwiz 4.2.2.

Can't be done. We can get certain apps but not a whole ROM their debloated stock software is 1.4gigs.

Oh I see, But that would be great if someone could make that worked. I know that certain apps will not work on our device because of S4's different hardware, but some features like the gestures while in gallery or quick notification when phone is locked will worked because its just the censor on the left side of earpiece, maybe that could worked. I just cant afford s4 so I wish maybe we could get an update of 4.2.2 touchwiz even if other apps or features would not work, I just the love the S4's Rom, that's all.

We will not get 4.2.2 touchwiz I promise you. Its unlikely you will see half of the features you want actually and its likely going to be due to the fact we aren't on 4.2.2.

uhm, yep. they said that we're not getting an android v5, instead another jellybean which is 4.3. haha I've actually realize that they can't leave out jellybean bec of that awesome rom. ) I wish that there will be more features in 4.3, just like 4.1 to 4.2, many things had change. haha

Custom 9505 Rom suggestions from users to Developers

Hi all!
I recently acquired a new SG4 9505.
I would like to make this thread a constructive suggestion to Dev's (god bless you all) for things that the users would like the custom roms to contain or directions to go in.
I came from a SG2 running Checkrom stom rom; so getting used to the 4.2.2 droid o/s.
If anyone would like to contribute suggestions that enhance the phone but also enhance privacy as well, then please suggest using bullet points like mine below, that way others can see your points you suggest quickly
Before the custom roms start coming out suggestions are:
clean stock rom - ie the removal of bloatware and other files that clearly are not useful or are carrier based
cooked into all custom roms a privacy and ad blocker - self explanatory.
change default internet servers that roms use to gather data. - ie use of servers that provide anonymous data/google search engine results (e.g startpage.com etc). There are many other services like this, its a concept of clean data to the end-user, the less tracking the better is what i am getting at.
To read more about why i ask for this read here, and here, [URL="http://www.katherinealbrecht.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=102%3Afirst-chapter-of-qspychips-how-major-corporations-and-government-plan-to-track-your-every-move-with-rfidq&Itemid=94"]here, here[/URL].
Thanks again!

I'd like to have a kernel with the ability to control CPU-Voltage. No, I'm not an overclocker but rather want to optimize battery usage.

I'd like to have Touchwiz 5x6

CheckRom on Samsung Galaxy S2... Those were the days. I'd like a CheckRom for my SGS4 thank you very much.

Great suggestions! Keep em coming!

just a clean rom some thing that keeps sammy experience but with best battery life and speed
something like neat rom from the s2 if any one remembers its

NeatRomLite and VikingWay
Samsung Galaxy S4 + XDA Premium

Torch on lock screen, ink effect and camera flash at under 15% battery(though I've not tested to see if this is already possible on stock!)
Sasa is already looking to get an s4 for a neat Rom, just needs more donations!

If anyone has flashed their 9505 with good rom then please also add

So can anyone comment on any 9505 rom they have flashed recently?
Feel free to add suggestions you want in 9505 roms!

I've flashed the omega rom. It is very stable and everything works. Also i'm running the faux kernel. Pretty good combination.

I would kill for a Slim Bean for this phone. I absolutely loved it on my GS2

Adjustable auto brightness would be nice (like stock). Dreaming of Samsung camera software too. And I know, atm this is impossible and maybe always will.

[Leak] 4.2.2 leaks for International S3

MOD EDIT: DO NOT FLASH THE FILE IN THAT ARTICLE, IT IS FOR INTERNATIONAL S3 ONLY!
I can't wait to see what the ROM devs do with this!
Includes some of the non hardware based goodies that the S4 has.
" New features include a familiar array of lock screen widgets and unlock effects, new display modes, a re-tooled quick settings area in the notification pull-down, a new driving mode and an updated version of the S Voice assistant app. Some of the headline Galaxy S4 features like "Air view" hover-touch abilities aren't included -- that's because they're dependent on the S4's internal hardware."

I'm pretty sure that everyone knows that already. Although thank you for pointing it out.
While AOSP is more cutting edge, I like simple functions like Bluetooth volume working correctly as it does on TW.

I have it on my other S3, along with ktoonsez's kernel. While the volume seems to be acceptable, I still get the static and clicking every now and then.
This post is not to compare TW with AOSP, some do like TW based roms.

I'm saying ktoonz does have a tw version of his kernel if that's what you prefer. You could try using the ViPER4Android app and mess with the settings to clean that up. I'm sure someone in that thread could point you to good settings. In not sure if fauxsound amplifies BT, but you could try that as well.

Your previous posts were pointing out that AOSP was already at 4.2.2.

Just wanted to point you in the right direction to fix your Bluetooth issue either through ktoonz's touchwiz kernel, fauxsound app, or ViPER4Android app. You may need to tweak the settings a bit to your liking as i don't know how severe your issue is. Could be the phone hardware, a software issue, a rom issue, or the Bluetooth headset itself causing it. It's not something that's easy to troubleshoot online. Sorry if i lost you, I'm a bit sleep deprived. Sorry if I was vague or rude. On that note, bedtime. Hope you get your issue resolved.

I've never had the Bluetooth issue with a TW ROM, only AOSP.
Thank you for the insight though. Get some rest.

So once the International version gets the official update, we can probably expect to see it 3 or 4 months later thanks to Verizon.

I just read that article and watched the video. Looks like aosp but with a few design tweaks. It would be nice if they just fixed the keyboard in the update. Ha

I wish Verizon would leak more updates. Other phones I have had in the past had new roms almost every week. The Galaxy S3 has been a big disappointment in factory updates, released hardware, and support. Once Samsung neglected to release a decent wireless charge option and Verizon cold shouldered its users, I don't think I'll go back to Samsung. I miss my HTC.

I was looking into inductive charging. Verizon apparently offers a cover....but I can't find it.
Ha and yea the Verizon variant might see this update in September or November and it will most likely have all the cool things removed.....it's almost like they want everyone to root their phones

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.

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.
