[Q] What roms add features

guys i like my super clean rom for DL09 but the one thing i miss about my OG droid is that when ever i flashed a rom it would add features that would make it more compelling to stick with. The only thing i see with the fascinate roms are de-binging with no new features added not saying the devs don't work hard its just are there any roms out there that add features not specifing to which but just saying add them

On super clean, you can put DJ05 theme over it. Make sure to install DL09_aosp_lock_theme_hax after flashing the theme; it makes DJ05 themes compatible.

bro i am sorry but that doesn't answer any question i was asking

They are coming, pk and jt are working to bring 2.2 asap. Bird is bringing 2.3. Luckily, there are not too many differences in the RIL between 2.2 and 2.3 for the developers. However, birdman has said that this phone is on 1.5 RIL.

okay so everyone knows what i am talking about google miui when i had that on my d1 it literally made me think i had a new phone

It will come...give it time.

Right now most of the development work is going into digging the community out of the ditch Samsung abandoned our near-dead bodies in. Once out of said ditch, then various nifty features should start appearing (especially with CM on the Fascinate).

lmao that was pretty funny

To be perfectly honest. You're likely to see a 2.3 from Samsung first.
I'm not doubting these developers but its like they just like to theme up the same rom over and over. Pick any rom and its the exact same as the others , just a different theme and some minor tweaks. Tweaks you can find with a quick google.
I have 2.3.1 AOSP booting but 2d isn't working out for me. Some modules aren't building either.

I know for a fact that these developers do more than "theme and tweak". They not only improve the current roms by increasing stability but they get the sources and build their own kernels and release them for good use. These devs make the vibrant a powerhouse. And they do it for free. So do your research bro

right now, CM is working on CM7 for i9000. and krylon360 of teamwhiskey is working on a direct AOSP build for the vibrant. (CM7 and AOSP ARE different, believe it or not)
So right now, it's kinda split.

Anyway to the OP:
I'd suggest just making a ROM based off what YOU want and than sharing it with the community. Its your ROM, make it to your liking and than share it.

2. No ciq
3. Aosp bluetooth stacks (hopefully with help from the cm team)
4. Aosp lockscreen
5. Oc to 1.28ghz (not based on bakedsnackrom, based on twilight (tanimn, do I have permisson?))
6. No omadrm
7. Bonsai fs tweaks (hopefully)
8. Based on syndicate frozen (k0nane, do I have permission?)
9. No twlauncher
10. Nexus s livewallpapers.apk
11. Other possible nexus s files
12. Nexus s fingerprint
13. No sns service (samsung's own sync because they hate google)
14. No swype (flashable zip to add)
15. My modified red acs theme (you can download honeycomb theme if you want. I have a honeycomb device already so I dont need my phone to look like it)

5. Have fun... We're working on 1.3 right now. Twilight Zone is GPL-licensed, you can do what you want with it.
6. Good luck with that, it'll take as much work as CIQ to remove, if you're able to do it at all.
7. These are standard across all EXT4 ROMs including SRF.
8. I'm hesistant because it's enough of a problem ensuring themes and mods stay up to date. It could work.

I want a ROM that looks and feels like AOSP, but has features from other companies as add-ons and such to make the ROM complete. For example, multiple launchers - Sense, Stock, (even TW, possibly. I wouldn't recommend it), multiple keyboards - (Swype, Stock, HTC's, Droid's)
I think you get what I'm saying: Basically a ROM that features a little something from each major developer (if that's even possible), but still have it fast, smooth, ext4, OC @ 1.2 GHz. Basically a ROM that makes you never feel like you're not missing out on anything that your phone didn't come with.
I understand it's an optimistic view and likely impossible to completely fulfill, but that is what I'd like.

Just a minimalist, light-running ROM that runs silky smooth with great battery life. I'm pretty sure that's what a lot of people like actually. lol. Being reliable is also a huge priority for me. As well as simple upgrades to a next version of the rom.

Still no signs of Android 2.3 for our beloved "Vibrant"?

Oh come on Samsung, its big time we get to taste the Android Gingerbread OS for our Galaxy S Vibrant. I have a Galaxy S I9000 and I got Gingerbread update in the month of Apr-May. But Samsung has not even released Android 2.2.1 for Vibrant. Did they forget this model?
Edit: No doubt I love the amazing Cyanogenmod 7 on my Vibrant but I'd love to see the 2.3 update from Samsung (some TouchWiz love LOL).

basically they abandoned us after froyo lol

T-Mobile doesn't want to cut into upgrades. Since the Vibrant 4G is out and is the current model, the original Vibrant is deprecated. It is pretty obvious, as no other carrier has been denied a Gingerbread version for the Galaxy S except for T-Mobile.

Although GB would have been nice, I am not missing anything on 2.2.1. What about you guys? Any killer apps or features that makes GB more desirable? Don't tell Crt animation and over scroll glow

The 4G isn't much of an upgrade for current Vibrant owners imo. I don't see why we couldn't get the software it's not like it would give us a FFC or 4g(maybe). I guess for those of us smart enough to root and flash that we survive with better roms anyway. We probably should have seen this coming. I mean the only way possible to get froyo was to update via kies which hopefully won't brick your phone.

Joke? don't underestimate the developers on THIS phone, of all phones ) I'm gonna definatelly keep an eye on these forums. if nothing else i expect someone starting a WIP thread, an AOSP built rom, most likely not fully functional ofcourse, but compiled enough to boot up, just to give us a taste while development begins in earnest
This is just what was needed to jump-start development for the SIII

I'm curious, with Verizon's S3 flashing abilities currently being limited to roms stripped of kernels, how will this affect a jellybean rom? Is the ics kernel the same as the jb kernel?

Just rambling here, no disrespect intended and none meant at all just want to learn as much as possible....ICS source has been available the whole time, why wouldn't we have seen a CM9 build if it were that simple (as to have source)? Just cause source for 4.1 is out, it is going to make it that much easier to build an AOSP rom now? Again just trying to learn I know people are pretty snappy at questions like these, lol.

Reason people are saying that we could see CM10 soon is because the CM team think the code should be able to merge right into what they have with CM9, and not break that many things. With CM7 to CM9, they had to basically do everything from the ground up again because ICS was such a huge update over GB. Now JB isn't that big of an upgrade over ICS, in a way it is, but in a way it isn't. Sorry if that sounds confusing.

I am no dev, but heres how i understand it works;
we start with an announcement of an OS, this is done generally at Google I/O or a Nexus Event, in this case was Google I/O.
On the announcement day, devs receive the SDK; Software Development Kit.
This is released to allow the devs to begin making apps that match and run on the new OS. However, aspiring rom devs then begin to build a rom off the released SDK, generally called an sdk port.
These tend to be made simply to give us an idea of how the system would work and function, and generally might boot up and have a couple working things, but major things tend not to function because the SDK is not made for that.
Then comes the Source code, this is the real deal, it is full code of the system, code that can then be compiled to produce a fully working system, or nearly fully working. Only thing that remains missing is proprietary drivers and such, these tend to be the things specific to each phone, files that would make particular chips work, particular functions, the specific phone kernel, etc. but once you have the source code, you're over 80% done as far as having the resources needed to develop a full rom. at this stage, some devs can produce a fully working, stellar rom, but it will take quite a bit more work than devs who choose to wait for the final stage
Then comes the OTA. this is where all the device-specific stuff comes to the devices, and devs have the absolute and complete freedom to produce a fully working, better than stock, experience. This is where roms flood the dev forums.
So as far as not having AOSP yet, and now this is our chance at AOSP? No, thats not why we dont have AOSP. we dont have it cause no one built it yet; the Touchwiz UX is sooo integrated in the system that untangling and taking it all out is a long and drawn out process, and theyd need to deconstruct what we currently have, take out elements of touchwiz until its all clean, all the while making sure it doesnt break anything else.
but getting the jellybean source code propels devs because now this is a new OS, a new AOSP with its own new interesting properties. and because Jelly bean is a small update compared to ICS, now that we have source code, many of the device specific stuff wont be broken by implementing jellybean code into it, therefore building a Jellybean rom is a faster path to AOSP than untangling the current ICS for Galaxy S III
Does that make sense?

AOSP in this case is talking about the actual Android Open Source Project. so it is a bunch of code. so why are we excited? we've had ICS AOSP code for nearly a year now, what we dont have is AOSP roms. building an ICS AOSP rom is much harder than building a JB Rom, and we currently have icecream sandwich on the SIII even if its touchwized, and undoing touchwiz is quite a bit of work. but Jellybean...Oh Jellybean, now we got the source, we will start getting that baby soon and it'll boost dev on these devices. make sense?

That's easy to understand, and not what I'm asking... what you are saying is its easy to incorporate 4.1 to 4.0, just like it was easy to go to 2.2 to 2.3... I'm asking why is everyone so excited to get 4.1 AOSP, when we don't even have 4.0 AOSP?

Not sure if you were trying to come off rude or not, but people are excited because its the newest update, duh. Reason being we don't have 4.0 AOSP is because the phone hasn't been out that long for the US carriers.
