New ROM, missing a couple of APKs - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I've just installed a new super lite ROM which seems pretty much perfect EXCEPT i'm missing two features of Samsung's "bloat"ware that I really like:
Blocking Mode
Stay Awake
I've tried Googling and failed miserably to locate these so, can anyone tell me where i can get these please? (Yes I know there are alternatives but i'd like to stay with apps I am happy with and that work for me)

Of they are only apks & libs you could extract them from a stock Rom and put them into yours I guess.

What is the ROM based on?
Is it Sammy or an AOKP based ROM?
If it's Samsung Based, I could take a Titanium Backup of it and send it across to you.

It's ReVolt ROM running AOKP (Whatever that is?) according to the Settings menu.

If it is not Samsung based but aokp it won't work as it needs Samsung framework.

Damn.... why is it the "perfect" ROM never exists. I've been flashing since windows 6.0 and NEVER found a ROM that's 100%
Guess I'll have to look for market place alternatives then.
Thanks for your help!

Try null Rom, using it now for some time and it combines somehow aokp and Samsung features quite well

There is no single perfect rom for everyone.. Everyone is different and has different needs or "cravings"
Thats also why there's so many custom roms out there, to fit your needs (sometimes) If you cant find one, go with stock or learn to make your own.

[ROM] CM10 port to I317
Link Download
Will work as it is on a n7105 but please note this was ported to I317 which is essentially a n7105.
I have tried the Rom and with the Devs permission may tweak it a little at a latter stage.
Remember to also flash this Kernel after CM10 flash
above is not my work only a link
Please Click to Donate so i can buy a Telstra or Vodapone n7105T to Develop
Hmm .. tried it ... samsung logo just goes flickering after reboot and then blank ... wonder whats missing ...
Did you flash kernel straight after rom flash? Works on my n7105
Yup .. like normal ... Its weird ... Have seen something like this for the first time ... Will try fresh again once have some more time

Fantastic port ! But maybe can fix the buggy UI and 4G keeps disappearing for some weird reason.
that is cool,but CM10 same as android 4.1.2 and lost s-pen function , CM10.1 not stable and more bugs and lost s-pen function,I haven't any idea to use it...
Nvm, just saw your download link was for a thread where everything is explained

Just found out that there is no port for CM10 - aaiiiii.... Upgraded my Note to the N2, and was certain that I could get JELLYBAM rom on it....aargg...must do my homework better.
I look forward to see you dev on this, could be awesome to get a working port that can be used for Paranoid or Jellybam roms.

its a very large file already, for cm
This rom works perfectly on my Note 2 LTE. the only problem that I have was just the Google Play store is not following whatever DPI that you set. Everything looks big in it.
*Maybe* this is also causing me getting "incompatible device" error everytime I download some app (Telstra 24x7 eg
So until someone could resolve the issue, I'd avoid the rom.

Stock means untouched by anyone else than samsung, alliance rom is stock BASED but may have removed some apps to take less space.

[Q] Trying to find a ROM

Hi guys, my first thread here.
I flashed a custom ROM on my galaxy s3 i9300 a wile ago, and I am trying to find it now. I cant remember its name.
What I do remember is that the ROM came with Stweaks installed, and it had somw kind of installation tool whwre you could choose what tweaks you wanted to get installed, and what kernel you wanted to use as welk as what launcher you wanted.
If somebody knows the name, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like any other rom around. Stweaks preinstalled means it comes with eother siyah or some other kernel supporting stweaks. The fact that you could customize your installations means it had aroma which all touchwiz roms have.
Impossible to tell what rom you had with that info.

You also didnt have to download new versions of the rom to update it, you just had to update the installer.
Dont know if this info helps at all :/

Nope, I haven't the slightest idea what rom it could be. Complete out of the blue:
Omega?
Criskelo?
Did it come with the Nature UX (stock touchwiz) theme as default or some aosp theme? Was it ICS or JB?

Aww :/
Actually, what I was first trying to do is see if I could somehow keep the stock samsung apps (messages, gallery, camera...) on CM10.1, cause I didn't like its stock android apps too much, but I liked the themes for CM haha I guess you can't exactly do that with CM so I was looking for another more stock rom. Too bad I can't install those CM themes cause there are some really sweet ones.
Cm themes won't work with Sammy roms and Sammy apps won't work with cm
Flash Omega maybe? Completely stock is boring but Omega's awesome

I'm using the plain old tw theme though.

Hello i am currently trying to get the 4.2 Photosphere camera to work with our phone but have had no luck... It force closes and breaks. Sometimes i even get the message "Camera not found." I have tried to get a logcat but there is literally so much spam going on with my current Touchwiz rom that i find it a waste of time to comb through it or upload it. When I finally flash a AOSP rom i will try again and upload a logcat. Here is a tutorial with i found to be complete crap and lies...
http://droidviews.com/2013/how-to-install-android-4-2-photosphere-camera-on-samsung-galaxy-s4/
They said it works when obviously it doesnt. I noticed they they installed in on the international version with the 8-Core and we are using the Quad Core model. Maybe that is the reason.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and a donation will surely follow once we get this straightened out.

Yeah, I would be curious if it worked on an current device w/ aosp or AOKP rom, as opposed to a tw rom. I really think that tw screws the photosphere up...idk...a few more flashes and I'll know. BTW, got a link to the photosphere app? I lost mine on backup and for the life of me, I can't remember where I got a good version of it...

I tried Carbon rom and it did not work there also, i believe that is built off of Cyanogenmod so i'm pretty sure its something to do with our device specifically... but what do i know. thats why i asked this question in the first place.
Google hasn't released the code for photosphere so its buggy on aosp ROMs
ill be glad to try it out when they do. why wouldnt they have something like this ready for such a great phone?

Bump i would like to see some more progress.
I see that in the SlimBean rom he has a Addon for Photosphere but i dont think it is compatible with our phone =/
Also the AOSP Roms have the GalleryGoogle.apk that work but stripped of the photosphere... come on people someone has to know how to fix this.

Yes this does work on the DNA i have also confirmed this... but it does force close on our S4. I have checked that zip against a couple other zips i have found the the md5's have checked out and are the same.
Also changing the build prop does nothing to stop the crashing.

Yeah, I don't know which rom you are using, but on my rom I ended up with two gallery's and two camera's, which makes sense sort of. One gallery and camera for tw and one gallery and camera for 4.3 photosphere. I chose to leave them, but to each his own...

AOSP vs Samsung ROM question.

Are any of the Touchwiz based Roms as fast and snappy as AOSP based ROMs?
I love AOSP speed but missing features keeps me going back to T/Wiz then lag sends me back to AOSP etc etc etc
Thanks

I assume who has more does not matter, it matters for him what he wants and AOSP does not have Samsung's features.

Thanks for the replies, the main problem was not being able to post pics direct to forums I go on. I may have cracked this by using chrome rather than the aosp browser but I thought that with Firefox too and this no longer works.

Cyanogenmod issue need help !!!
i recently installed the Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my GT-I9305 but after the i realized that the old storage is gone "internal storage" so it says that i am using more than 50% from it even it's a clean install meaning the old data are still there and i am not able to see them , so i went to the recovery mode and the old files and date were there and a new folder with name (0) has the new apps and data , so the question here is how can i view the old data storage so i can move them to the new one , or to view them on my computer , i am new in XDA so i couldn't post it on the Cyanogenmod forum . thanks in advance
This is not I9305 forum .
Don't hijack threads with a totally different question
Please read sticky in General section regarding storage o or just search question asked day after day .Please read all the basics before flashing anything .

Personally , I am very happy with SlimBean (AOSP) as it delivers speed and gives me all features I want. The only thing I miss is the AllShare app for my AllShare Cast Dongle. Regarding camera, the AOSP 2.6 app gives most of the Samsung TW features, for Samsung S Planner, I use the stock Google Calendar App and for Music I use Poweramp, maybe try them, Poweramp got a free version as well.
