Hi people, i have also a galaxy s2, coming from a nexus s and from the first day i have removed all touchwiz and Samsung apps garbage and replaced many stock applications with nexus s stock one.
Now i'm a little hungry because.i don't feel fine with these and i want miui Rom again. I can be quite also with cyanogenmod.
But the question is.... What's the % of progress for these? I know that all teams do that only for passion and not for work, but a news of progression status will make all people like me happy!

have fun WAITING. that's all i can say. just because a new phone was just released, don't expect ROMs for it right at the beginning. all models are configured differently so devs need time to figure out the inner workings before they can convert/create themes or ROMs....

I wouldn't expect cm7/miui for a long long time at best, the sgs has been out for almost a year and cm7 is still in beta/alpha stage.
I thought the nexus s was a pure google phone with no bloat or touchwiz? How do you remove what is not there?

i cant wait for a stock android. looking forward to cmod6.1
dont hold your breath this one is going to take a bit of time to develop...look for the thread by hansmrtn he is taking on the task.. for the time being load stock samsung rom, and check out the sre thread.. you wont be upset with the outcome.. they really did a nice job putting it all together..
Yeah me too mate. I really hate the samsung contacts list and the lack of the scroll tab and other things like that.
Are the stock Galaxy S roms basically the rom without AT&T crap? I might have to try those out, if they are relatively bug free.
Hansmartn is making progress on the vanilla rom, he said last night that he think he got data working, alpha build might be just around the corner

Sure its been 2 weeks, but keep in mind its the holidays.... The devs could:
a) work on custom ROMs
b) spend time with family like normal people

Are you seriously complaining that there aren't enough roms after 2 weeks (never mind it being christmas and stuff)?? Wow, your sense of entitlement is quite amazing! Never mind bothering to recognize all the good stuff that has come out already (cyanogen alpha, modaco r2, voodoo kernel, 2.3.1 update ports, market fixes, rooting scripts etc)
Think about it, everyone is dying to get the newest google software update (kinda the reason most of us got this phone) so it's quite understandable everyone is working on gingerbread ports. Why on earth would you expect the same enthusiasm for downgrading by porting sense or touch wiz to a phone already running android 2.3? Not saying it won't happen but it's understandably not the first thing on everyone's priority list (yours excluded).
Oh and thanks for taking the time to read the guidelines for what belongs in the development section. It's people like you that make xda great!

^^^^^ Ding ding ding we have a winner!
I'm sure we'll start seeing alot more attempts at SenseUI/TouchWiz ports once those phones receive their 2.3 upgrades.

Hi, sorry if its been asked before but is there a rom that is close to stock android? If so which is it?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Why don't you just stay with the stock ROM?
Think the op was asking closest to stock android not stock sgs2
Cm7 looks like stock but has loads of extra goodness. Not for beginners and its still a wip but still.. well its ace the devs are doing magic stuff

Yeah I tried cm on my desire hd it was quite good but always went back to sense as I liked it, but in my opinion touchwiz is a bit more stock androidy feel to it rather than sense , so wanted to go all out and just try out stock android , so the cm rom, is it available yet? Obviously not stable I take it??
Oh I would also like to ask if someone can tell me is what's the difference between cm stable and nightly builds??
I think I can assume what stable means but never knew what a nightly build was??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Its not 'stable' yet for sgs2 in fact the first nightly only came out today.
Stable releases are known quantities I.e set milestones whereas nightly builds have commits added as they're submitted... nature of the beast some will fix stuff some might cause issues. Pot luck.
Stick with stable builds (there isn't one for sgs2 yet) if you want something rock solid without the occasional gremlin or two.
I quite like touchwiz but always run launcherpro so rarely bump into tw!

Lets see how many users are using Custom Rom , Stock Samsung ROM , MIUI or CM7....
Vote at your will.

Heh, true that. I guess most people are just using stock roms, maybe with a custom kernel. This phone works fine the way it is actually, there are just some little flaws that can be fixed with a couple of hacks, and some colours which are a bit out place, but we have some nice themes after all.
Aosp roms are blazing fast tho, really unrivaled in terms of smoothness if you wanna play games...the problem with those is that they aren't 100% bug free as the ones i was using on my Desire, so i find it hard to use them as a daily driver for more than a few days every now and then on this particular phone.

Galnet MIUI ICS builds. Far better than anything else.

thats it

CheckROM with ICS syndicate theme work perfect for me!
You're going to get a biased result asking on xda, as its where people who like modding go. Most users will not know about xda or bother with custom roms and be using stock

im a little bit confused because i come from nexus one, where the biggest part use CM builds, but here there seems to be a more even distribution among users..... any special reasons?

I prefer Samsung custom roms because they are so freakin smooth. Excellent stock browser, I love TouchWiz and the launcher, superb camera interface, and an awesome video player app.
Hyperdroid all the way-official ROM of the 2012 Olympics.
You guys wants me to add more poll items for Custom Stock ROM ?
I'm trying out omega and liking it so far,
Reason why the large distribution is because really, the phone works as is pretty well. It just needs a few tweaks to get rid of that garbage late night battery full alert and a couple other things. Since most people are looking for stock + tweaks, there's a lot of different tweaks available.
WajkIUI... i hope the spelling is right.. excellent ROM

We have the kernel source and aosp source for ICS (not JB)(obviously) so why hasn't anyone made an aosp Rom? It seems even other devices get AOSP roms a lot faster. Is there a problem with porting AOSP to the S3 phones in general (US VERSIONS) or does no dev really care for AOSP and is happy with TouchWiz? I don't know, and I'm just curious. Just to be clear, I'm not asking any devs to get on it or work on it or rush it, just pure curiosity. Thanks. Hoping some devs could reply to clear some things up.

If you have been reading. The devs are having to unravel a disgusting amount of code because the touch wiz is integrated with everything. We are running a %0 true android experience. It's going to take time. With all due respect if you can't wait do it yourself. Good luck.

Give it time, the phone's barely out
Exactly. As much as I don't want to wait any linger and take my g nex back from my wife I think I'll stick it out. This phone is pretty damn sweet
Give it some time. As stated before the phone is barely even released.

Yeah I get that it's running touchwiz which is like you said basically a 0% true android experience but wouldn't you just be able to delete the touchwiz all together and flash a new Rom. I'm not exactly sure what the problems are that are stopping devs from just installing a Rom onto it after removing touchwiz. I can wait I was just asking out of curiosity lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
You can't do that without achieving AOSP. ICS AOSP is helpful, but everyone wants JB.
The JB AOSP source code isn't out and when it is, the closed-source RIL is the biggest obstacle to making it work.

You can't have AOSP ROMS without the AndroidOpenSource for 4.1, which isn't out for 2 more weeks. And for 4.0, the devs still need time.
someone else mentioned that a lot of the devs might have held out for the 32gb models which were hard to come by opening week. the 16gb versions came out first. anyway, there are a lot of great devs on board, and not just historically samsung devs. htc devs like myn will be pumping out roms soon enough.
i won't lie though... some jellybean love would be beautiful.

Yeah, I hope by the time the SGS4 rolls around in a year that 32GB will be the new low-end, with 64GB the step up. I really hope we don't stagnate here -- or worse: go backwards -- just because of this cloud crap.
My guess would be that most of the devs have the international version. They have had AOSP roms for weeks. Not to mention cm9, aokp, and about to get miui4
My guess would be that the phone is just getting released in the US and maybe the devs are waiting for 4.1 source so we can have a Jelly Bean AOSP rom instead of spending so much time to create an ICS AOSP. That doesn't make much sense to me, why waste time on ICS when JB is coming out in couple of weeks.
Can't most efforts on ICS apply to JB, or do things like project butter really change up the porting?
I imagine Google Play on stock/root or CM9 would be a lower-hanging fruit.

Try and just take it explorer on Windows and see how far you get. It's not as simple as just deleting touchwiz.

Now now, this isn't Half Life. But seriously, I don't mind waiting for AOSP because TouchWiz has a lot of cool software features and I can always flash an ICS theme.
