I'm about to cook again, and i'm somehow lost in what to include to somehow satisfy as many people as possible. I've stopped cooking for nearly one month, and i guess there are many new things out there. I'm going to take a look at the forums, but i think it's much more accurate if i ask people for their own opinion.
So here are the questions (i know there are many questions, so just answer some if you want, thanks) :
Which tweaks do you want to have pre-installed in the rom?
What kernel do you prefer?
What apps do you think are essential?
Any system apps you'd like to get rid of?
What theme would you prefer (must be the theme of an android phone, since i'm not good at drawing, only porting themes from other phones)? Also include please if you would like 9 ls, extended power menu, overscroll glow etc... Thanks
Any ported apps from other phones like sgs ii, sns that you'd like pre-installed?
Any other things?
What launcher?
So it's basically a query to find out what most users want in the rom.
There'll be addon packs also.
Thanks in advance
Regarding kernels my favourites are semaphore and talon.
TW3 works better than TW4.
I like redmanner stock theme.
Juwe ram script.

This guy said already all the important things. I took GingerReal 7.1.2 and i've been happy with it. Kernel mainly controls smoothness and quickness, but scripts and other tweak **** does nice things too.
I would have taken Talon 0.4.1 but for me it wasn't as much undervoltable as 0.3.1 or semaphore and 0.3.1 was for JVP, for now i will stick with semaphore 1.3.1
And as what comes to launcher, take spb shell 3d. You won't regret it, i didn't have much money at the time but 10€ for the launcher was well worth it, i haven't used ANY other launcher after 3 months.
And i have paid for launcherpro plus, but haven't even tried it after i bought spb shell 3d
I too like redmaners theme.i also like hardcores kernal.if you were to include a launcher I would use go ex launcher imho its the best free one, no way I would spend 10€ for spb total rip off, yes it looks good but 10€ ?for a launcher, lmfao.

Have used every Rom out there for galaxy s. I think presently gingerreal by redmaner stands out. It scores highly on all key fundamental requirements like speed coupled with stability and a very impressive battery life to backup a powerful phone.
I don't have the lagfix on and the speed of my phone actually surprises me.

Ah! Forgot to mention you might want to use adw launcher. Once customized properly it beats all others hands down. But the key is to understand its customizations.

Good for you.
Who would have paid 500€ for a samsung galaxy S when you can get with 20€ normal cheap but good for phone calling phone? Exact same reason why you would get spb shell 3d! But, it's your choice...

Theme: Samsung Galaxy s2
Kernel: anything stable-less ram and less wireless problems
Overglow scroll is a must and has to be in the same color
most feature i want: Stability, less FCs and restarts
lets see
- instant access to phone call
- instant access to phone book
- instant access call and endcall
- instant scroll to menu
- file explorer instant without lag
- and battery life (i cant call more than 4-5 hours with full signal edge, and the screen of, i dont belive we need 1000mhz to do this task)
- camera a litle faster (nokia n8 record with 12mbps)
- office its a must
and it must run better than xxjvq
Hellooo friends,
Yup its true. I just reverted back to Stock from CM10 and loving it.
CM10 is good and Jelly Bean but seriously pure Android is horrible with that Tron-ish look. Samsung UX looks polished, colourful and elegance with most of the things working. Here's a rundown :
Pros of CM10:
1. Jelly Bean (latest and greatest)
2. Smooth and Fast
3. No bloatware
4. Good Battery life
5. Pre-Rooted
Cons of CM10:
1. Ugly UI
2. Need to install app for everything
3. No DLNA
4. No WiFi-Direct
5. No Driving Mode (little gem I need)
6. Phablet UI or a not-so-good Tablet UI
Pros of Stock (4.0.4)
1. Polished, colourful, good looking UI
2. Smooth and Fast
3. DLNA
4. WiFi Direct
5. Awesome Music Player with Folder support
6. Powerful Video Player supporting almost all codecs with large Thumbnails
7. Mini Apps (yes they are very convenient)
8. Proper Tablet UI
9. Driving Mode
10. Power saving mode (and it works)
11. Equally good Battery life (compared to Cm9, 10)
Cons of Stock (4.0.4):
1. Unnecessary apps (Bloatwares)
2. Waste of Space due to high LCD Density
3. UnRooted es
I used RomsWell's Rooted, De-odexed, Zipaligned Stock DDBLF3 ROM. Thanks dude
Now can somebody tell me how to change LCD Density on Sock ROM ? There is no ro.sf.lcd.density entry in build.prop and I have read it in some places that changing density in Stock ROM can lead to bootloop and re-install
Any suggestions !

Beauty is a subjective thing bro'
What's ugly for me can be most beautiful for you and vice versa
I personally go for a cm rom on any device first.If you like stock rom but hate bloatware try metallice rc1.stock rom with many tweaks.basically fully optimized with oc support.had mine @ 1.38 and tablet was never faster.try it you won't be dissapointed.

You missed some things:
With CM 10 you can enjoy gaming(I have +10 fps in gta3 with cm10(without OC)Also i can use 450mb ram instead of 350.
Powerfull music player?? are u kidding me the stock in is very bad,apollo and playerpro can do better.
"colorful" ui??? wtf???
Although i had to stay that the basic Samsung apps are quite enjoyable(video editors,photo editor,hubs etc)
I think we need a dual boot with stock and cm10
Back to stock too from cm9. And loving it as well. Missed the driving mode, better bluetooth usage icons, better phone dialer, and longer batt life. Not good enough for a gamer maybe, but good enough for this sales professional. This is all subjective of course.

I have to agree, but also love the beauty of each his own. I was regretting my tab, until CM 9 & now 10. The performance LAGGED with all the bloatware. Now it hums, makes phone calls, plays games and videos better then a Nexus 7 ( go figure)

I'd agree but once you are rooted and remove all the bloatware it is fast as CM10

The only thing I miss from tablet mode is the app drawer at the top right corner, and and the mini apps . Other than that AOKP is the rom for me, I'm trying to get used to using the nova gestures instead, I don't like docks on tablets.

The Stock ROM indeed wasn't that bad. For me the CM9 works really good - better than CM10 currently does. Did you try the Tab2Lite ROM?

Rooting apps or apps in general? Here are a few straight out of my head:
Nova Launcher Prime - absolutely the best launcher I ever used. It has everything, a bucketload of features (even more in the Prime version), blazing speed, a great user community, and one of the most hardworking devs I've ever encountered (beta versions come out almost daily).
Tapatalk - if you use forums, very handy app, makes forums work like a charm on the phone (typing from it as we speak)
Root Explorer - though there are free root explorers out there, I find Root Explorer to be the most stable and it just works every time.
Titanium Backup - a must have if you flash ROMs and change bases often, this app can be of invaluable help.
Mobile ODIN - the same as Titanium, allows you to flash stuff without the need for a PC.
Tune In Radio Pro - the free version is great, but the Pro has no ads.
WeatherPro - pretty reliable forecast app (but with horribly ugly widgets though).
If you like music and listen to it a lot, consider some song-spotting apps like Soundhound or Shazam Encore. Also, if the stock player is not up to your everyday needs, check out PlayerPro and PowerAMP.
That's all I have for now. I would also recommend Smart Remote, but it's a bit out from the other apps' league because of its price (10$).

Also should mention, the best voice dialer is voice speed dial by cyberon, the reason is, is you use your own voice for voice tags for contacts rather than rely on speech recognition that 1. Uses internet data and 2. Doesn't work most of the time.

Hi All,
Many of you are coming from the likes of the Note 2 (or even the original Note) but I'm sure there's plenty like me that are new to the phablet scene and definitely new to the S-Pen scene. So it seems appropriate to start a thread asking people - what apps do you recommend to use with your shiny new device? Going beyond the usual recommended android apps, what ones do you feel really make use of the Note's features (such as the pen, or the massive screen or whatever).
Please, suggest away!
handy note and handy scanner dude
I would of said sketchbook, however they have nicely included that with the device now! It's a brilliant app for getting your artist on!
I'd also suggest emulators for games as the big screen is certainly easier than the smaller devices out there! Drastic DS emulator has arrived on the play store recently.. It's abut £5 but imo worth its price tag, it allows you to play Nintendo DS games (Roms) really fluid and of course with the s-pen!! ! If you was a fan of the old Zelda games etc this gives you a change to play catch ups wit the latest outings of Link.
Netflix
SwiftKey - Brilliant keyboard replacement that I feel that corrects a lot more reliable than stock.
Spotify - Free 48 Hour trial of millions of music tracks (You can keep creating a trial account, in theory not actually pay.. But you'll end up in love with your play list you've mashed together and just pay the sub (what happened to me).
Go Sms pro - again a nicer more configurable Sms /mms replacement of stock app. Also includes a go Sms to go Sms feature where you can send pics, doodles, recordings, videos to anyone with gosms installed for free.
If you live in the UK *** 0800 wizard. Allows you to dial 0800/0844 numbers using your network minutes.
Order and chaos - MMO game, works really well with the big screen and adreno 330... Similar to world of war craft.
Es file Explorer - allows you to browse the memory on your phone/SD card memory a lot easier.
Be great if people added their favourite apps into this thread... Nothing beats a good app download session

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Just a point of info....almost every Android launcher I've downloaded from 1Mobile.com seems to work, to some degree, on the HDX. Particularly promising is VIRE Launcher, which in addition to looking and working like other standard launchers, displays the 4 or 5 wallpapers that it comes with, as well as a clock widget that comes standard with the launcher.
I also noticed that, unlike with the HD, you can set the Android launcher as the default launcher when you press the home button (On the 2012 models, if you did find a working launcher, you could only activate it by an icon, not the home button).
I just tried out the Trebuchet launcher from Hashcode's cm10.1 tate file and it works great on my HDX 8.9" so far. Setting it always as the home button makes it the default launcher also!
Edit: Changing some of the setting is causing Trebuchet to crash.
Using 1 mobile market I download apex,nova,adw,buzz,go,etc
Buzz allows the wallpapers that come with the themes you download for it. However most themes use a lot of widgets which do not work.
Go launcher allows you to change the wallpaper only for the app drawer. Also when I have it in portrait mode the launcher does not work unless I have auto rotate off. Go launcher also works with gowidgets.

That's why I personally recommend Vire, which has 4 or 5 wallpapers built in that you can use, plus two different clock widgets. There's also Espier, which, since it's modeled after iOS, is designed to look good without widgets on the screen.

I know this probably won't make me a lot of friends here, but honestly, I prefer the HDX stock interface to any Android launcher that I might replace it with.
Nova Launcher 2.3b3
I would like to confirm that Nova Launcher 2.3 beta 3 works perfectly on my 8.9 HDX WiFi, replacing stock launcher.
There is a bug though - long tap on anything (i.e. to add/move/remove widget or app) in landscape mode causes screen rotation and nothing else. Switch to portrait, do what you need and turn back to landscape. Other than that - I'm a happy camper with Nova
nova launcher
Yeah i test nova launcher and it s working very well ! Only wallpaper and widget not working ! When you long tape on anything, just block the rotation and all is good! Y ou can also put the old Amazon launcher to use it when y ou want !

I agree that the stock interface is very nice. I just wish there was a way to install custom icons. Sideloading apps leads to some low resolution icons on the carousel. Can't wait for this device to get rooted.
I'm curious, I know that most of the Google apps can be side loaded, except for the play store, of course, so would the "Google Experience" launcher, the one from the Nexus 5 work? It's worked so far on all devices on 4.2 and up for me.

There is a tutorial on the internet. I haven't tried it yet, I will be getting my kindle around December, to replace my rooted Nook HD. Is it better than the Nexus 7? I figure that a root method is inevitable, but is there a big performance difference between the S4 pro and the 800?

Yea. The big downside that's not addressed with sideloading is finding and updating apks for apps you've paid for on the Play store. 1 Mobile Market only has free apps. So things like icon packs/themes or apps that have license verification will not work.

I figure that i may be able to extract apps that I bought from the Nook, remove verification with Lucky Patcher, then sideload them. Would that work? I mean, I already bought them, so it's not piracy or warez, but would creating a modded APK without verification from lucky patcher work on a non rooted device?

Yes. That will probably work. I did resort to downloading patched apk's for apps I've purchased on the Play Store. Like Nova Prime.

App developers should have a way to synchronize apps from various stores to avoid these issues. I wonder if anybody has ever considered it.

I had considered making an App Store that has patched apps/apps not available in the google play store, but at the same time giving Android a good name by keeping out all pirated apps.
