Considering what to do...
Will the SGS ever have a stable build of ICS? Why can't devs work from the Nexus S build and create a stable ROM?
If this isn't possible, should I simply bite the bullet and grab a Nexus S?
I don't know what your level for "stable" is but my SGS has never been so awesome since I decided to try the ICS builds that are in the developers section. Both onecosmic's and teamhacksung are just incredible ROMs, better then every gingerbread ones I tried so far. Of course there are promlems here and there but nothing that our experienced devs won't ever fix!
To me the problem isn't the Nexus S or the Galaxy S, now the problem is 4.0.3...
Of course the porting requires a lot of work to our devs while porting a brand new ROM to another device...
Just wait a little bit,
and devs will resolve most of the issues..!
I advice you SGS all you life, because it has AMOLED display.
Cheers

By stable, I mean, everything working, all the features the phone was shipped with.
The Nexus S is AMOLED too isn't it?
With Nexus S i mean this--> Nexus S...
I don't think has AMOLED diplay...
ICS on SGS by the way isn't stable devs are working in the porting.
I've got a colleague with this phone and he received about 1 month ago via official update on the phone ICS...
He tell me all the tima it still have some bugs on that!!
.......
yeah
were on the same page actually, but now i have decided to stick with my SGS, why? well said bec. it has super Amoled, and the firmware updates and ROMs that is growing fast <--there will come a time soon that developers will finally release a stable ICS for SGS..i guess..

Tried it and it's really fast and smooth.
Can someone tell me what the allure of Cyanogenmod is over the regular, stock Android?

Features, theming, tweaks, more control over your device.

I looked at some videos of CM10 on YouTube but besides the ability to put widgets on the lockscreen, I didn't see all these features and tweaks that you're referring to. Can you expand on that? Also, what do you mean by "more control over your device"?
I'm not downplaying or dismissing CM. Just trying to understand why it's so popular.

This CM10 Preview is a VERY basic build, and will probably not have as much of the added functionality that CM9 would have (this is something I assume as I have not flashed this ROM yet). CM allows you much more control over customizing your device by adding more options under Settings, and also by including tweaks / fixes / new features. Things such as themes, Advanced Power Menu, more control over navigation bar, themes (yes I said that twice for a reason ), different launcher.
It also, in many cases, can make your device more responsive / faster by removing a lot of the 'bloatware' and unnecessary background apps that some manufacturers out in their ROMs.
Gotcha. Thanks for the rundown.
They would have a hard time to get me to use CM again, I once had a so-called "stable" build of CM 7.03 on my Desire last year and it had to be rebooted almost every day to fix a glitch here or there, presumably because of all the hacks/tweaks they use. Problems went away after going to a pure AOSP ROM.
Remember this is just a preview.

Not sure if this has been asked on the forums, but can someone please tell me exactly, what is the difference between this and CM10[JellyBro] Nightly Kangs? I want to use the latest one as possible. Also, I know this is the Nexus 7 forum, but the same can be said for the Galaxy Nexus (maguro). Are the JellyBro Nightly Kangs the way to go for the latest CM10 previews?
Kangs are not official, this one is. I would recommend sticking with official since we got it now Official nightlies should come soon too.

So this ROM is officially by CM himself? Does it run JellyBean? Also, does the Galaxy Nexus have official CM builds with JB?
https://plus.google.com/113334764480431682966/about he is one of the CM maintainers. This is a Nexus 7 forum not Galaxy Nexus.
O hay guyz when will th3re be updaytes for dis!?22211?11!!!
Heh, jk. Looks absolutely fabulous!!! I'm continuously blown away by the CM team. I can't wait until this is stable enough for a daily driver. This is my first tablet so I can be a little more daring. Nightly are almost always stable enough, but now that I have a phone AND a tablet it'd be all right to tinker even more so with the tablet.
This won't be good for my flashing addiction. We need a support group for all the married dudes with upset spouses lol

The ONLY difference between a nightly kang and an 'official' build will be cherry-picked features that have not been added to the official version. Usually, these are small tweaks that will within a week or two be added to the official releases.
There are no other differences. Stability will, almost inevitably, be the same between the two.

If they are the same, I'm going going to stay with the KANG nightly builds.

Cyanogen Mod has come a long way. CM is in 7.2 stage for the Desire HD at the moment. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Not once have I gotten a force close a random reboot or any other issues on CM7.2. Just because you have one bad issue, doesn't mean it should stop you from using their other roms. Remember you flash custom roms at your own risk and the word customer should make you expect issues here and there. :cyclops:
Galaxy s2 and s3 have all put their hands on the new 4.1.2 beta, waiting anxiously now for my i9305 international version. anyone has update on this? :fingers-crossed:
Doubt this will happen, they are just too different from what I remember in prior discussions.
We should have something pretty soon for our phones tbh.
On another note, I have been using it on my 9300 for a few days and it seems a great improvent, it is good on battery, there are lots of little improvements including the Samsung Keyboard where the word appears automatically as you type. Multi WIndow is great although not sure how much I will use it, still it is there if I want it!
Really looking forward to 4.1.2 coming over to the 9305.
I have played around with it. The only issue I am having is with the baseband and imei not being detected. Have tried a few things to fix it but am stuck at the moment with what else to try. Other than that it boots, has root and everything else works.

Chiming in here to say that I have been working on this too. But you knew that from our discussions via PM.
I am wondering if we might be able to get the ball rolling further on this for our devices. There are considerable differences between these devices but that shouldn't stop us.:fingers-crossed:
On another note I am thinking the AOSP is the secret to bringing more popularity to this device seems alot of people are waiting for this and keep asking for this,,, So i am thinking of porting an AOSP rom for fun and chucking it in for a variety
mmm not sure about that, I think the new 4.1.2 features outweigh a AOSP release; MultiWindow probably beign the biggest so as soon as 4.1.2 hits here I think there will be some very happy people.
Personally, I use lots of the other features like Allshare Cast, Dual View etc... which I believe (not positive though) would be lost with an AOSP build.
Still happy to try it out is you manage to port it over!
yes i would not use the AOSP but CM has a MASSIVE fan base and so does AOSP... But I agree with you 4.1.2 is much better but even this version has now been merged with AOSP in the i9300 forum lool we need more devs here its too hard to keep up with little help
Devs or no Devs i am still very happy with this device and would not swap it back with the one i had before, which i gave to my mother as a gift But yehh If i really wanted too i can swap it .. But no thanks
Hi guys
I just got my note, a few days ago.
Now i'm wondering, what is the most "cleanest" rom?
With clean, i mean:
Almost bug free
Smooth
No extra or fancy features, themes e.d.
I was thinking about CM 10.1?
Or might it be CM 9?
Or stock with go launcher or something?
As last "recruitment" i'd say at least 4.1 because of project butter and google now (but this isn't a feature it HAS to have, although it would be nice)
I'd recommend Sim Bean 4.1.
It's slim, fast and got google now etc
And what exactly is the diference bitween cm 10 and sim bean?
I'm comming from a legend at 10.1 so i know pretty much what cm 10.1 is like
EDIT: I found that s-pen gestures are only found in TW based mods. HUH? What "kind" of roms are there? And is it true i install this rom and lose my s-pen functionality?
Because now, when it's new, i frequently use the pen. Maby when it isn't a gimick anymore i wouln't mind losing the funcitonalty but at the moment i kinda do....

Slim Bean's ROM is only ~90 MB and it's highly customizable. If you don't want to have that much customizability you can also try SuperNexus.
Edit: SuperNexus is based on 4.2, which is pretty new and not that stable like 4.1
Slimbean by far is the best rom i ever tried.
In descending order:
1. Slimbean rom
2. Stock ics
2. Cyanogen mod
3. Liquid smooth
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
+1 to that !
Slim Bean is a nice smooth bare CM ROM.
Or if you want stock, Try CleaNote which is ICS based, its just a super smooth no nonsense stock ROM, nice and stable with great battery life.
Hmm so it seems the perfect rom still doesn't exists?
I personaly would love to get rid of the whole touchwizz interface, in exepton of the s-pen and note app.
So, i basicaly want cynogenmod with stylus support (and note app support), but i believe the cynogenmod nightlies don't offer s-pen support? Anyone knows how this is?
And anyone knows an almost-cynogenmod wíth s-pen support?
Thanx
PA supports Spen gestures, So im sure other CM based roms will too.
You will just have to use alternatives to Snote, Smemo ect.

That´s correct... PA and some other hybrid ROMs offer some of the S-Pen gestures, also at the PA thread there is a link with a list for the recommended S-Pen apps alternatives like azzledazzle says...
But, to be completely true and honest, there is NO custom or even stock ROM (from/for any device/manufacturer) that is entirely bug free and perfect... that's kinda both the beauty and the ugly side about Android, it keeps getting better version by version but will never be bug free for the nature of programming and coding, you will always find a bug, I promise haha
I dont mind some bugs as the stock one has them too. I just dont want an phone that reboots once i get that important call about my job interview (yes, this actually happened on my legend with cm 10.1).
And i dont want all the touchwiss crap (am i allowed to say that here? Hit me if i cant!) but just smooth and clean, kinda like cm. So basically slimbean with the option to use the stylus.
BTW, what's PA?
Thanx
PA = Paranoid Android ROM

PA = Paranoid Android. (DPI tweaks to turn your android interface into tablet mode.)
Cyanogenmod 10.1 is pretty stable and fast.
I tried some of them minimalistic AOSP builds but they always remove all the alarmclock sounds and leave me stuck with a standard sound that makes me grumpy the rest of the day.
So in my humble opinion, Cyanogenmod if you want to go for android 4.2
or PA if you want the fancy tablet mode.
Slim bean is the most slim nd most clean rom.

Hello!
I've flashed many a ROM to my old HTC DHD, but have recently upgraded to the Samsung SG3 LTE (i9305). I've yet to root, but was wondering if anyone has deveoped a Stock jelly bean rom for this device yet? By stock, I don't mean stock Samsung/Touchwiz, I mean stock, unbranded Jelly bean, the pure google experience like you would find on the Nexus 4.
I've searched and have yet to find anything. I don't post much but follow the forums and flash a lot, so go easy on me!
Any help or a nod in the right direction would be great.
Thanks
Tweedskin
Yeah... you're out of luck; in short, there are no such ROMs.
Codeworkx recently made a Cyanogenmod tree, but right now the RIL isn't working, so you can't actually use your phone as a phone. Unfortunately, Codeworkx doesn't actually own an I9305, and has no desire to deal with Samsung's less-than-supportive approach to development. There was also an earlier build made by LarryTheCow that had a working RIL, but no microphone support and no GPS. Amplified is still working on a port, but, as far as I'm aware, hasn't got very far.
There are very few developers in possession of this phone, and fewer still who are able and willing to work on such a port. I wouldn't hold your breath on this, and honestly, if you really want an AOSP ROM, then you should probably just sell your I9305. If you just want something that looks broadly similar to stock, there are a few ROMs in the development section that include a JB Domination theme, the stock launcher and a few other stock apps, which gets fairly close. You can also use Swipe Dialler and Sliding Messaging to get something broadly resembling the stock dialler and messaging apps. But it's definitely a shame that a phone with excellent hardware lacks developers to support it.
As of this morning there wasn't but about an hour ago it appears it has been updated and re uploaded with the sim card and connection working.

Yes, I thought that was probably the case!
Thanks for the reply and info....think I'm gonna hold out for another view weeks, then sell it and get a Nexus 4 if nothing is around. I use a Nexus 7 and switching between that and the S3 is akin to switching between Windows 8 and windows 7.
Nexus 4 it is! Cheers!

It was the case then, now the only significant bug with the CM10 ROM is that bluetooth headsets have very poor audio quality. Everything else is working.
