[Q] stock ICS or Sammy's version. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got my ICS update on Monday and immediately I hated it, rooted, then put on resurrection remix stock ICS. Best EVER. What do you guys think of touchwiz over ICS and also any decent builds out there. Thought I'd ask as many people have different opinions on Samsung ICS. Thanks guys!

Touchwiz is Samsung-based and Samsung has not released 4.0.4 yet. The only 4.0.4 roms currently available are AOSP/AOKP. Samsung should be releasing official 4.0.4 but not sure when. Until then, no 4.0.4 with Touchwiz as far as I know. Personally, I prefer Apex Launcher Pro to Touchwiz, and use that with 4.0.4.

no but i meant as in, if there's any ROM where i could put the touchwiz look on that is 4.0.4?
Also do you know around what time the 4.0.4 is gonna come out for sgs2?
I have seen a touchwiz4 port to an AOSP/AOKP rom. Forgot where i saw it but you could always try to google it. The touchwiz on it doesn't have an infinite scrolling on the homescreen and appdrawer. Pretty much like the launcher of the galaxy nexus.

Blaze 4g port

Hi...my friend has this Blaze 4g and I freaking love the thing! The UI & the lockscreen are the best I've ever seen! I was wondering is there a way someone could make a port of it to the Vibrant?

It depends, it will take time, and what type of ROM was he running, maybe he just had a different launcher

Check out the Hellybean nightlies Here and here and the Devil Kernel for ICS here and Jelly Bean here for the Galaxy S and variants.
It was a stock rom that came with the phone. He hasn't even rooted yet. I'd never seen a touchwiz like it. It was pretty awesome.

See if you can get him to send you some screenies so that you can post them here. Do you know what version OS? If 2.2 or 2.3, see if you can get him to pull a copy of the framework-res.apk (obviously once he roots the thing) and then we can pull the images out of it and make a theme, at the very least to match it.
Porting a 4g ROM would be difficult just for the mere fact of the radios involved. But I bet we could theme it up pretty nice.
I have a blaze 4g, just took is as upgrade from my pre-release vibrant... I its set up just like the stock GB vib... the lock screen is like the circle lock but without apps... other than that its twiz... when's the last time you tried the stock GB on the mighty vibe? Lol... I love this phone and the devs that kick ass.

Jb Or ICS

hi guys. Which one is better ? ICS or JB. I can't select one !
Of course jb
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
But JB is not stable enough ?
the official update will be,ics wasn't also when it first came out
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'm asking now. I now JB will be more good. But I mean Leaked JB vs ICS ?
even leaked JB is nice.....i dont see anything that would make JB so unstable by your words
what it is that you think is unstable in these leaks. YES the official will be better.....but i dont see the issue with the leaks right now.
None is better. You have to decide for yourself if you prefer mature, less buggy software or brandnew updated features
Jewlly Bean is undoubtedly the best ever Android release to date

touchwiz apps

I bought my father the note (he had the s2 before) a fee weeks ago. I had installed aokp on his s2 before but when now, I installed black star which has all the stock touch wiz features that me and my dad remember from when we first got our phones. I want him to run the aokp jb ROM but he loves that ROM too much (but its too laggy)
I was able to install one of those touchwiz themes... but that's not what I'm looking for I'm looking for the specific apps especially the phone. Sammy really did a great job with the phone. I'd love the built in task manager but that's probably too much to ask for.. any idea his I can get the touchwiz apps on a aokp rom? Phone, messaging.. music maybe..
Thanks a million
They don't work on aokp roms. Must be a touchwiz based rom. There are replacements for the apps such as gnote for smemo or memo beta from the play store.
As for black star being laggy I think you should check how you flashed and be sure you followed the proper flashing procedures in the OP of that thread. It is a very good rom. It runs fast for me and many others.

Some how a dev in the N7000 thread has managed to put snote premium suite on his miui rom so maybe in the future we will have it for other TW phones like the i717.

I figured it was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to put the s-pen apps on non TW roms. I woukd think that would make them more appealing to many other people that stick with stock because of the apps.

yea I hope we see it on our note soon they have it with miuirocket rom which is a asop derivative.

I tried blackstar rom and it really wasnt my cup of tea also not saying its bad just wasn't for me. Anyhow If ur looking for an stock tw features rom that not laggy I would try the Padawan Rom very fast very smooth, its running Ics u still get to keep your premium suite but also have aokp/jb apps n features like Google now, awesome beats and Apollo...

Official 4.1.1 update?

Hello guyz,
I convinced my brother to move from his iPhone to the galaxy S3.. So he bought a S3.. And now he loves it...he hates iPhone now... After using android he said that " I was living under a rock all these time " .....and he is so so in love with his S3.. He even told he he is going to buy the S4 next...
Now going on topic.. He wants to update his phone to latest version. Which I think is 4.1.1 officially..
My question is how is the performance or usability in jelly bean?
What are the pros and cons? (If any )
If u want to mention any firmware build numbers u are more than welcome..
I am not talking about custom, I want stock opinions...
Thankssss all...
Best regards,
N

My honest opinion..... Stick with ICS.
JB lags like crazy and I would wait till 4.2 is released
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well I trıed 5-6 official jb leaks. Scrolling between home screens is faster. New notification system is much better but yes unfortunately there are glitches and lags.
Then I decided to give custom rom a shot and installed Ultima. I am very happy with that. Lags and glitches happen time to time but much less than stock roms.
This question has been asked and answered multiple times .
Stick with ICS until you are capable of using the search function .
