I am a fan of cyanogenmod, as many others, but i hate the stock android camera app. so my request is that someone good with porting/baksmali can port this apk and make it work. i think the camera app is the only disadvantage of stock android/cyanogen.
Wishlist
HTC Gallery
HTC Camera with 720p
HTC Contacts/Phone?
(more?)
Any one else wanting them? let me and devs know by commenting!
Progress:
One developer will work at porting FroYo HTC camera and 720p. (ralle.gade)
+1 on that and i would like htc gallery witch is way faster.

we just need a dev.
1+ on htc gallery
I am desperate for the HTC camera / 720p camcorder for a ROM without sense
+1!!
count me in hate the stock camera/video app not many settings to play whit
the issue that will probably come to light is that it will no doubt need the htc sense framework, not sure if just the frame work can be ported or not
the contact app would also be sweet ^_^
The contact app is lovely on the stock HTC Desire sense 2.1
What I really miss about the camera is the tap to focus/hold to take photo part. I took some photos at a concert the other night on the stock android camera and it just could NOT hold focus.
may the developers be with us.
The contacts app on Sense is horrible. I find it really slow and unpleasent to use. I'm fairly sure that it plays a large role in Facebook sync not working.
I would love the Sense calendar though.
Also, the Sense browser (well, just the text selection bit) and the Sense USB connection type screen would be amazing!
Or if the official Facebook and Twitter would integrate into a Sense rom like they do in Opendesire / any other Android build, it'd be fantastic.
The upcoming open desire rom may have 720p. Not sure if this means the htc camera or not, but it's a start
Paul O'Briain has posted it over to his Nexus roms, so that could be worth a look at.

Same! HTC Camera and Contacts would be nice in CyanogenMod 6!
The text selection would be amazing. The default Froyo text selection is so poor in comparison. I'd happily pay for good text selection.
Come on ppl! I'm not as good as you. You guys can handle it!
Rip those HTC Apk's.
XDA for Rip!
I would like to add HTC Footprints to the list. Or have anyone found a substitute?

There's a thread in the Dev forum from a chap attempting to port the Nexus/Modaco Camera across to OpenDesire.
YES! that would be fantastic! I'd happily buy him a pint for that
Just installing OD as of right now as it is.
My phone has more Sense than me...
and i DONT like it
Alright after a week of testing. Heres the rundown.
Stock Features you will miss:
Enhanced Contacts.
Motion Gestures.
HW Accelerated Browser
The Cam. MIUI isnt as good.
Battery life.
MIUI features you will miss if you're hooked:
Firewall
Guard
App lock
Themes
UI. duh.
Elegance.
Overall verdict is wait a bit. MIUI can be better. The MIUI contacts isnt good either.
Oh and Stock Cam vs MIUI Cam.. whats better?
Use skifta instead of allshare and wi fi file explorer instead of kies.
Tw camera is better.

There has to be some Pros and Cons in AOSP ROMs over Stock ROMs. Customisations, speedy UI etc are better but on the other hand there are some simple yet impotent things aren't available or buggy! Why would one buy Samsung on first place and then suddenly they want to get rid of Samsung junk? A little bit of iOS, little bit of Android, I hate it anyway.
I have frozen literally everything all the Samsung bloatware that can be frozen, i think ive used Kies like once, it's a crock of sh*t anyway buggy as hell, allshare is a serious battery drainer too, why do people still use this rubbish then complain about serious battery drainage?
I love all MIUI stuff but I dislike the battery draining, camera is not good and video playback is so poor 'cause Hw aceleration is not working... Ignoring that, I prefer a lot this even over the perfect stock rom, 'cause I can personalize everything.
I've had a look and play with miui and cm7 nightly #99 lately.
Still like Samsung's roms better. To me they just seem more polished. Camera, calendar, etc, add jkay mods in there too.
Also find music sounds better for me on Samsung roms. That surprised me.
I pick cm7 over miui by a mile.
I must be missing something about miui because i didnt see anything to make me use it over Samsung or cm7.

About this, in MIUI you just have to press volume down+menu. Pretty easy IMO...
About everything else im with you, but let me add one more con about MIUI: Call recording doenst work. Not the stock app but neither "CallRecorder" app.
Since this is an important feature for me, I hope they manage to fixed it because I really like MIUI.
Every now and then, i fill that urge to try MIUI or Cyanogen, and after a day or two, i am back to Samsung ROMs ...
1.I've been modifying my framework and TW launcher since my i9000 and i have made my personal setup from it
2.Video codecs support, although recently i've found Dice player who looks extremely capable, even more than the default one
3.The small little things, like brightness swipe on status bar, call and message swipe on contacts and some others that doesn't come to mind right now
4.Like someone else stated, i also like the cohesion of the stock ROM
There are some things that always bothered me that Samsung doesn't implement in it's ROMs like percentage battery and BLN. I mean, those are are easy to do, add functionality and they blend well with stock ..., but luckily, this is Android and we can do it ourselves .

Now that MIUI have officially launched the S2 ROM. I tried it. I used to use the Litening ROM. So far there have been PROS and CONS. Some neat features that I love that I dont wanna go back. But there are some minor things which I can't live without either.
I will be updating this thread with Pro and Cons with you guys support.
Stock ROM features I miss:
The Motion Gestures. In Gallery and on Launcher. I think that was TouchWiz 4.0... right?
Kies and AllShare. I would love to have those two. SGS2 is the only Android device out there with DLNA support and would be a shame to cut it out. --There are alternatives. WifiFile Explorer. And Upnplay.
The easy screenshots like iOS.
Swype support. I sideloaded Swype but looks like I cant switch themes. And the Official Swype installer on MIUI says the resolution isn't supported. Weird. -- It works.
The Camera App. For some weird reason I think the MIUI Cam has flaws. -- Still looking for an alternative. Gonna checkout TW Camera.
And this may be stupid but MIUI doesnt show H+ icons. Just H. (Network icon) -- Think themes can fix this.
MIUI Features I love:
The torch. Pretty neat, you can use it by pressing the Home Button.
The UI and themes. Obvious
The Music App Lyrics
You can lock specific apps. And even hide them.
The Guard feature. Now I can give my phone to anyone w/o worrying bout them snooping.

CM10 / AOSP Rom Wishlist
We all know CM just recently announce CM10 will be coming just around the corner, so what will we be expecting?
All the Android 4.1 JellyBean goodies of course!
Still, there's a couple more things couldn't be added to enhance the stock android experience.
NOTE
Would like to clarify something before you start posting, CM10 will run as pure android 4.1 user experience with other enhancement make the phone more customizable. As it runs on AOSP framework, there will be strictly no TOUCHwiZ, NO SENSe, NO OTHER NONSENSE related request in this thread, just pure android.
As none dev, you should only bug report, request CM10/Trebuche launcher related features, anything beyond that you'll be on your own! (Either develop a ROM base of CM10 source with the features you've wanted YOURSELF, or FIND OTHER ROMS that suites your taste, no reason to rage and flame in this thread)
Special Note:
To new Android users particularly coming from iOS: It's understandable coming from iOS to Android is a huge change between two different OS, it's also understandable that you're not used to DIY stuff like rooting your own phone, reading simple instruction and the known issue;mainly because you're too used to getting spoon fed back in iOS.This leads to asking dumb question, flaming in the particular thread, harassing at developers who practically offer their ROM for free! Long story short, LEARN TO READ! Make use of the search tool bar, trust me when I say it's useful. I was the same when back then, tho I had a lil' experience coming from symbian s60v3 &v5 development, DailyMobile forum.
Hope CM10 project related personals read this. Let's thanks them in advance for their hardwork!
I'll go first,
I've read a couple post in XDA and was hinted that Chrome for Android will not be the default browser for Android 4.1 JellyBean as Chrome for Android will only be available as default browser for Nexus 7, not part of Android 4.1 update (kind of misleading there).
So here's my request:
-Make Chrome for Android as CM10 default browser.
Tablet UI!!!
Just like paranoid AOSP rom, or was it AOKP.
Tablet ui kind of homescreen will definitely look amazing on SGSIII 4.7inch HD screen!
Trebuchet: swipe down to open notifications. Helps for big screens.

Trebuchet: add the possibility to select random transition effect

As Google mentionned, it'll be part of Google Apps. If not, then it won't be the default browser as we can't pack proprietary apps in the ROM.

Obviously Trebuchet will be rebased on Jelly Bean's launcher code.

- ability to set peak and off peak hours for Exchange mail

Ability to check notifications when in a full-screen app, a nicer camera app (perhaps a UI overhaul to make the viewfinder bigger).
Smaller dial pad to allow more than 1 contact prediction. The dial pad takes 80% real estate but used 20% of the time.
If I can get maybe 5 predictions I'll have the correct prediction in far fewer touches.

One thing that annoys me:
I've got some contacts with more than one Phone Number, and when using T9 in the Dialer, I'm nearly always calling the wrong number of these contacts. I would love to see an option to either choose every time which number to call, or an option to always automatically call the most frequent number.
I know I could also store two contacts for these to numbers, but that's so 1990-like
A new camera app with transparent interface. The AOSP camera is horrible and it's the number 1 reason people don't use AOSP. Most people just flash CM, like it, then fire up the camera, and return to stock ROM.
Please don't say we can't change AOSP apps, if Apollo music player can replace the AOSP one, certainly a better camera app can be integrated to CM.

Apollo: in my opinion would be great to have the possibility to sort by album but not basing on single folder but on mp3 info.
For example if I have an album with more CD and I have a folder for each CD, apollo lists different album with the same name and in my opinion is ugly, basing on mp3 info I would get a single album with all the song.
Or better to have the possibility to select between these possibility.
I see this feature in only few player such as poweramp.
Pinch to zoom for web browsing just like in CM7 please!
Ability to hide the on-screen navigation buttons and utilise the hardware/capacitive buttons instead. Maximise screen space.

Mounting samba share in the system so I can open video files without the use of upnp
Just thought I might share this experience for those who are foolish enough like me. You must understand I am not a developer but I love to tinker.
While most are busy porting apps, wallpapers, ringtones, etc from the Galaxy S4, I thought why don't I port the Galaxy Note 8 instead. So with a bunch of foolishness, I downloaded the Galaxy Note 8 N5100XXBMC9_N5100OXABMC8_DBT Firmware, extracted, deodexed and zipaligned it and copied all the system/apps and the system/frameworks & system/etc/permissions and a lot of system/lib files & /media and /fonts folder, packed it in a pre-made note1 rom, edited the build.prop and set lcd density to 213 (as this is the density that the note 8 is using) and flashed it thru recovery. Luckily it booted and reached the Setup screen showing some errors which I ignored and just went thru the whole setup wizard sometimes rebooting itself and going back to the setup screen again until I finally made it thru the google setup page and eventually the homescreen and greeted with a very nice wallpaper. At this point, the systemui is not working, nor does wifi but telephony works so does mms. Gallery, Video Player, Music Player, File Manager, Splanner with pefect fitting Calendar widget, Email, Alarm, World Clock, airview and some other extra apps - all working fine with few minor bugs. Calculator, Snote, Quick Command, screenshot not working.
So I immediately tried to activate multiwindows which is the feature I am after. Like the note1 and note2, just long pressing the back button activates the multiwindow bar. There are two modes to the multiwindow bar, dual mode and cascade mode. While the note 10.1 uses the systemui traybar to show multiwindow apps, the Note 8 uses the flashbar tray to launch multiwindow apps. There are some differences as you can see in the video.
There are a lot of work to be done for a full port specially the systemui and wifi. I am not sure which framework files or lib files are hardware related so I am not sure if it is worth the effort to make a full port at all. But I learned some things doing this foolish thing and might give others the courage to try things, to learn, to explore even in the face of failure. I am still as noob as when I started learning about android 4 months ago. There is so much to learn and I am having a great time being part of an open system and a great community like xda. I would say there is so much more to learn here than in school. For all the things I have learned in a span of 4 months here in xda, I would like to say THANK YOU.
VIDEO LINK
In the meantime, I have uploaded the Note 8 Apps HERE for those who want to use it on stock note1 rom preferably at 213 Phablet or Tablet UI.
I believe we have a good dev here that can help you to port..hope so..:fingers-crossed:

"IF" and when I have a stable enough port of the Note 8 ROM, I will definitely SHARE it here in xda. At the moment it is pretty unstable and I am having second thoughts about it. Using it for a while, there is nothing really special about it except of course the multiwindow feature. It uses a mostly WHITE theme which is not good for battery life and eyesight. Apart from the new flashbar multiwindow, most Note 8 stock apps can run on stock JB note1 using 213 dpi like TW Launcher, Galllery, VideoPlayer, MMS, Email, Task Manager, Music Player, Splanner, Clock and Weather Widgets, File Manager, Awesome Note, Flipboard, Svoice, Chrome, etc. Gesturepad does not run but there are better alternatives on the PlayStore. Polaris Office tablet runs well on the port but on the stock note1 rom, it doesn't run probably because it is checking some signature. Readers hub now detects whether device is rooted or not and does not run on rooted roms. Snote tablet does not work but the Snote ported by arsaw for GS3 works well enough. As the systemui is not working I could not test the Reading Mode feature - it could be something that can be ported from android.policy. The rest are just minor stuff.
Talking about the multiwindow feature - the default uses the same native multiwindow as the stock multiwindow on the note1 and note2 which is the multiwindow feature shown on commercials and Note 8 review sites. But once you delete the com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml file in permissions folder, you will get multiwindow just like the one on the video I have shown which is better of course as apps can be maximised and restored to window mode back and forth - which is already available on note1 using my floating multiwindow and tablet ui mods.
What are your thoughts, Guys? What feature do you think is worth porting/using a Note 8 Rom?
P.S. I have uploaded the base ROM and it is very unstable at the moment but it lets you experience first hand what I have been talking about. It is only for those who know what they are doing. So if you are interested to try, send me a PM and I will share the link. But a BIG WARNING, I am not responsible for any damage that may result in flashing it. It uses Philz xxlsz 4.35 kernel which do not have the bootloop fix but it's the one I use because I dont get bootloops with it. As for the Note 8 stock apps for those who are using 213 phablet or tablet ui modes, I will upload them later.

xperiacle, mods are your forte. Roms are bound to present stability issues. Mods also give flexibility for improvisations and enhance the learning experience. so more mods please
Some updates...
I have managed to port fully working Snote with idea sketch with more features than the note2 snote app. Also comes with S Page widget. A better looking Quick Snote.
I also managed to port the keyboard with three layouts - qwerty, floating, split - and with awesome handwriting recognition using vision objects engine.
So far, Splanner with handwriting mode perfectly working with perfectly fitting widget on Homescreen at 213 dpi.
Polaris Office tablet working with some watermarks but can be hacked with smali edit I guess.
All ported apps will be shared once I finished pinpointing the necessary lib files.

I also managed to port the keyboard with three layouts - qwerty, floating, split - and with awesome handwriting recognition using vision objects engine.
So far, Splanner with handwriting mode perfectly working with perfectly fitting widget on Homescreen at 213 dpi.
Polaris Office tablet working with some watermarks but can be hacked with smali edit I guess.
All ported apps will be shared once I finished pinpointing the necessary lib files.

Hi Xperiacle, this is great! I admire the SNOTE you provide.
Just noticed it's UI is clipped (undo redo arrows) and possibly other controls. Was not successful changing the DPI for this app, also no problem changing it for others. Any suggestion how to change it?
Also - don't you have additional languages for the hand writing recognition, particularly Czech?
Thanks a lot!
Is it possible just to get that keyboard?

I'm sure some people have figured this out and there might even be a post about it, but I just wanted discuss what I've done to get some S-pen functionality back and to hear about what you've done. I just flashed ParanoidAndroid 3.1 and it's absolutely awesome. I didn't think I'd like not having the Samsung apps but I'm easily getting over that. I'm an avid pen user so naturally I'm doing everything I can to continue using. (Yeah it's like a drug to me.)
So, here's what I have going on:
I use GMD Spen control (found on the market for $$) to retain some gestures and add a few of my own. Unfortunately the frequently used screenshot tap is Samsung only so I'm at a loss there. It works excellent tho.
I use Catch Sketch to replace S-note. So far this app works great. The pen selector seems has a bug on the last pen and looks a lil goofy but it's basically the same as S-note. It seems to lack the color copy feature but it might show up when your coloring on a photo or something.
I use Swype that I downloaded from their actual website to retain the write to text feature.
So that's what I'm working with. If anyone has suggestions or things you've found work better please let me know!

The only thing missing for me is the ability to take snap shots of certain parts of the screen. With the Samsung stock rom I like to be able to circle parts of the screen and cut them out. I have not found any AOSP alternative to this yet. So for now I just take a full screen shot and then crop out the bits I need. Only an extra step but hey ho.
Yeah I completely forgot about that feature. Hopefully someone will be able to make similar applications soon. But they'll probably end up replaced and obsolete soon anyways lol

Hey guys I have an question to you.
Does it happen to you when you write on the screen with the S-Pen and you put it away, that for one to two seconds your screen doesn't react to fingerinput? No matter what app I use this happens but not in Samsung roms.
I don't generally use the s-pen, except to show off the bigger Note's flagship features to awestruck noobs. I moved to 4.2.2 but came back to a Sammy firmware based ROM yesterday, due to some issues. I used to play with the S-pen a lot when I bought the phone. There's one great s-pen app that I like, though - Scribble Racer.

Yep. S-Note isn't the best for anything really. I was a fan of Lecture Notes for quite a time, now I'm using Papyrus which isn't quite as customisable but makes up by being lighter and faster. It's quite adequate for my humble needs.

I just dont have the safe feeling without my samsung apps eventhough I used apex but the feeling of samsung is gone.And im sure you would want a rom build out of a samsung note 2 source rather than a aokp or cm10.1 or even aosp or aospa sources as to me I feel it lacks of a samsung felling.battery life definitely sucks too.and to relate back to the spen well I wouldnt want to remove the spen feature even seldom use it.cuz snote sometimes comes in handy too.
You can use a gesture to take a screenshot with the S-Pen with this app, and edit the screnshots.

But yeah can't do the selection thing.
I wish one of the note apps had floating windows.
This app is interesting, but no way to save or anything (yet).

What about handwriting recognition w/ keyboard? And airview? Handrite looks fine, will have to check it out, but I keep going back to S Notes - funny
because I don't really love it either :/
Awesome Note is great, and doesn't work as seamlessly on AOSP as it does with TW, but the size is too tiny for my liking anyways, on Note II since it's optimized for Note 8.

Not sure if this is mentioned before but sketchbook mobile works amazingly well on note 2. Also s pen sensitivity on android 4.2 is much better than android 4.1.2

i care less about s note and stuff, however the thing that i will miss if i switch to an aosp rom would be Multi windows and Air view!
can anyone provide apk for photo editor which can be found in samsung app store ??
or provide me samsung app store for note 2 so that i can download it by my own ?
