I have been using a Skyrocket on T-mobile using the Tmobile Embryo rom and blaze radio and it works fine. But now Im getting tired of the messed up Auto-Rotation on the phone so Im thinking of just using a standard stock skyrocket rom with the no ril Tmobile radio I have been using.
Can anyone recommend a skyrocket rom that is closest to Stock Touchwiz OS that is rooted that I can install using TWRP ?
Embryo is the only tw based rom I know of

Thanks. Then Ill just install Embryo 7.0 for skyrocket and then the tmobile radio.
Or, just flash the cymbaline kernel from the embryo thread.

Okay guys, im relatively new here but I'de like to think I know enough to get around and rom properly
I'm currently on a RAT Locked Radio (UCLF6) and an ATT ROM ICS (Sky ICS 4.2F) and am looking to switch to an AOSP or AOKP ROM that is very clean, simple, and as stock AOSP as possible.
The main issue I am having with my ROM is that the RAT is locked and I really needed the option of turning off LTE because I am in a test area and I keep getting flaky reception due to this. So i know to flash a RAT Unlocked Rodgers radio, heres the issue:
I cant seem to find any info out there on which ROMs that are purely AOSP and will support the radio that I seek. I also cant seem to figure out which ones people are using the most.
So Android community, what radio / Rom combo do you guys think would work for me? I'm honestly confused and any input is greatly appreciated.
Not sure about the radio side of things, but I love the CyanogenMod9 Rom. Very slick. Currently in nightly. I would only use a ROM from the developers section. (i.e.- don't just download a from zip from some random site....)
Best thing is to follow one of the noob guides to a T.
Lots of bricked Skyrockets out there...
I run CM9 nightly builds with CWM as my recovery. Works great!
Happy Modding!

If you want pure ICS. Go with cm9. You can use any rogers radio along with it as long as its ICS based. So the radio for their official release should work perfect.

Didn't i hear that people would flash Rogers radio and it would allow the ability to toggle lte
I also think there is data code you can type in dialer that takes you to engineer mouse or something like that don't ask me that is all i know
oh and cm9 ftw paired with instigators kernel
CM9 Skyrocket

Myself, I would like to try the official CM9 RC2. Just wondering what Gapps are and if it's needed or beneficial on the official CM9.
I just switched over to CM9 RC2
This rom is smooth but the battery life is terrible and the LTE toggle isnt working properly.
Can i flash Rogers radio over this? anyone have any tips or suggestions? will the radio affect the ROM?

Gapps= Google Apps.
Gmail, maps, gallery...etc...
Not mandatory but why have an android phone if you don't use the Google integration???

Try the nightly cm9 and the custom kernal for it. Cymbaline I believe. Or embryo used both and haven't had any issues.
Sent from the dark side of CM9 on my skyrocket.
I prefer Instigators with the Bad ass Script.... runs awesome on RC2 or the current nightly...

Use instigators kernel with baddass script..
And yes you can use a Rogers radio rux something or another

Hi,
I am really interested in trying out CM10 or one of the AOSP roms but I think having a 'regular' rom that is 100% functional would be a good 'main' rom. Can I get a suggestion of a good ICS TW rom that is better than stock but 100% functional?
I am experiencing amazing battery life with the stock rooted rom, but the nightly push from verizon to update the rom is driving me nuts.
Thanks,
Rich
Cleanrom, beans, and synergy are the big ones. Everyone has a preference. Mine is synergy. Have to test to find what yours is.

Why not just freeze the update to your stock rom. I'm stock rooted. I used titanium to freeze it. Now I don't get the update notices anymore
Beans v13
I'm using Beans rom version 13. Even the previous versions were rock solid. When I have time I'm moving to taste of Beans Jelly Bean.
I can't seem to find a link for beans rom? Can someone post a link please? Also, is it only for verizon S3 or it works with international as well?

This should be the link to Bean's rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768209
My choice would be Synergy r73 however - smooth and dependable.
i just read this on Clean Rom, and there said that if you flash a TW rom (the ones with the JB leak) you can get problems to go back to AOSP, i have been on AOSP for a while so im not sure if this is true or just a rumor, thanks in advance.
I switched between them yesterday and I didnth notice any problems.
But maybe you should wait for a more legitimate answer.

I am on cleanrom 4.5 with kinda crap 2.3 and I cannot get voice typing go work ,or voice search to work while using my lg hbs-700 Bluetooth headphones . I have searched and searches three forums and still cannot find anyone else having this problem. And no fixes. Can anyone help? Stock kernal and stock bootanimation
Nobody has any insight? Sweet not even a bad suggestion.. I guess that's what I get for posting in the proper forum. Nobody to flame so no interest.
Might be kernel related. Maybe try a different touch wiz kernel, such as lean kernel for tw.

If it is kernel related, the only kernel to try is Ktoonz. Imo has not updated his kernel because there is no source for the latest updates.
OP, does this issue solely affect CR 4.5? Do you notice the same issue with the JB leak and Beans JB 4.1 build from 11/15?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
It did not happen on 4. O just on 4.5 it still ok heard on the kt kernal. I was going to do a fresh install. Now I'm just going to live with it till 5.0 is released.
This seems to be a bug in j1. It occurs on stock deodexed, synergy, and clean ROM 4.5. I am going to Odin back and see if it is because of the deodxed base or if it is the release itself.

Did you try stock JB leak #3, Beans JB build 4, or CleanRom 5? Each of those are based on the latest JB leak #3 VRBLK1.
Running a recent PACman ROM nightly (22.0.1) but the battery life is pretty bad. Absolutely love everything else so I was hoping a different kernel might help out a bit in the battery department. Tried flashing the latest Lean Kernel but when I tried to boot I got a pink "SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII" screen and it just hung there. I've got a backup so no worries on that front. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
What is the file name of the Leankernel zip that you flashed? Sounds like you flashed the TW version.

I think that's it:
lk_s3vzw_tw_jb-v2.2.zip
Tried flashing Zeus kernel too but I had the same issue minus the pink. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious. I'm new to all this stuff. What does the tw designation mean, exactly?
Figured out the TW thing. I'm guessing if they aren't in the dev forms then there are no AOSP versions available then? Hope they pop up soon.
TW = Touchwiz, which is the software that Samsung had on the phone before you flashed this custom rom. You're looking for the AOSP version of Leankernel, well any kernel you intend to flash, for PacMan. Go to the Verizon GSIII section of Rootzwiki and click on the AOSP Leankernel thread. Download any of the 5.0 versions of AOSP Leankernel.
Oh, and Imoseyon is not making an xda thread. So that isn't happening lol

Awesome just got the latest LeanKernel build. already flashed Ktoonsez so i'll see how that works out for a few days then switch over and give Lean a try. Thanks for the info.
