Hey whats up? I'm SirHoover and I am an Atrix HD dev. I've taken a liking to the i (although I don't own one) and your development is just depressing. Might be able to either work with someone getting a usable ROM out there, or build one and have it tested (remember I don't have an i). PM me or comment if anyone is interested in me working on your phone or wants to help.
I agree with the lack of ROM development. I would love to help out but I have zero coding skills. Anything music related I can help out, ha. (Ringtones and notification sounds anyone?)
Hope you can get a hold of a razr i for development.

Sounds interesting the more devs we can get on board the better and there's definitely a lack of custom ROMs for the razr i the more the merrier I say sir hover

There's definitely interest. Unfortunately I haven't any applicable skills to offer. Happy to test flash, provide logcats etc if something gets built. Though it would be intermittent around when the phone needs to be used as a phone

Well first off we need to debloat stock rom, make changes to launcher, mms, and flash 4.2 gapps. That makes a huge difference and is very simple. Maybe joker for razr i?

There's not much bloat on the stock ROM from the retail units and we already have 2 ROMs that did away with that tiny bit of bloat plus are deodexed (and one of them has the 4.2 camera and gallery). So you have at least 2 ROMs you could use as a base.

Not using those ROMs as base. I wont deodex Joker either, it runs faster odexed. Possibly could add in some mods. Idk I need a full system pull from a linux machine to look at. Joker isn't hard to create, just will be a pain to make anything without the phone lol.
We will test for u don't need to worry or Matt can test for u so continue

Motorola is the one who needs to allow that.
Why would you want the circle widget? Ugly waste of space. Cool feature is weather and that drains battery. I would like to have 1% battery mod so there is one more useless feature.
the best features oft a Rom are Speed stability and light battery use, getting rid of bloatware. in case of the razr i getting the FM radio back.
Please, make Cm 10.1 a reality!

Hey All,
Since rooting my SGS2 and installing ICS Roms I find the Camera App is total S**t !
I use the camera loads both still and video.
The stock SGS2 Camera app was awesome !!!!! But the ICS one is rubbish !
I have searched everywhere and stock camera app is not available for custom roms or as an apk file.
So I am trying to find a developer to port the SGS2 Stock Camera App so it will work on all custom roms so we can all use it.
Failing that port it to Root Box Rom by Bajee11 as that's the Rom I use.
If anyone is skilled enough then let me know and we can discuss it further. It has to be totally bug free and working though.
I want this to happen so no time wasters please.
Feel free to leave comments regarding your camera experience on ICS.
Also don't recommend any apps as I wasted money on them all.

Nah I don't think it would be imposable, just a lot of hard work either porting it from GB or starting from scratch. But either way something has to be done cause the ics camera is just crap!
I dont understand your topic. You're talking about a stock camera app. Flash any SAMSUNG based custom or stock ICS Rom and you will have a great camera... If you are using a CM or AOSP based ICS rom, like Rootbox, your camera might be worse. Because you have a Samsung device with Samsung camera, but a not samsung firmware... Or am I thinking wrong here, lolllzzz. Seems like common sense to me...

That's right it is bad but only the cm team can add features to it but no one will port the camera app its not so easy
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I am fully aware that it will be hard but if someone can port the other Samsung apps over then porting this will be possible. It will just take a little hard work and time for someone who has the knowledge about these kind of things (I don't)
Hopefully sooner or later a developer with the skill will answer the call
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
It may not be impossible, but you have to understand that the stock Samsung camera app requires the touchwiz framework and system libraries, these files are completely incompatible with the AOSP framework and libraries, also the libraries in question are closed source when distributed by Samsung so any attempt to port or write from scratch would be a complete shot in the dark and while I'm sure there are devas out there who agree with you, with all the issues Samsung creates for AOSP devs a mostly working camera is much further down the list than other projects.

This is something I've been looking for since I been using CM as well... 6 months now... really sucks to have such a great firmware with such a bad camera... more importantly the reduced camera settings is what makes matter worse...
For eg if you want to make a video with CM Cramera on lowest resolution, a 1 min video is like 40mb... can't even email something like that... while stock allowed 3gp and VGA resolution cams so you can take random small unimp videos to send... like on whatsapp with a 12mb limit you can only make like 5-10 second videos...

Get UCAM pro. Try it. Seriously great.
The question should be about other third party camera apps available on the play store. Is there any app that comes close to the stock samsung app in the terms discussed above?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
As OP states no point in recommending any PS Apps. I have seriously tried them all and wasted loads of money on inferior camera apps.
There is nothing that comes close to Samsung camera application.
Also I have ucam and it's crap. How you can compare that app to the SGS2 Camera I don't know.
Which is a shame. (
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I agree with op here...the camera of this phone is very good and that's y I hate when it goes to waste on custom ROMs...Samsung ROM is very very ugly but utilizes camera quality to the fullest and has WiFi direct and FM but aosp and aokp ROMs r beautiful but camera sucks and no WiFi direct..spirit FM is the alternative at least
When will the perfect ROM come
Hell I would even buy the ROM like any play store product if it has aosp with Samsung like cam and WiFi direct and FM

Why don't you use stock ROM with custom theme then?
I'm using Neat ROM and you can flash a custom theme over it (Jkay, vertemus, ...)
There's a lite version in case you don't want all stock Samsung apps.
Not what I am trying to achieve here.
Really want it so the camera application can be shared to all who want it.
Thanks for the idea though.

I'm using that too but it has limitations like the theme is close to aosp but not in full...plus some colours r not very good...some notifications r pure white etc such things...plus changing DPI which is possible in aosp and aokp disrupts the UI in Sammy ROM with aosp theme on it

So I just tried ucam and I must say I'm quite impressed by the picture quality... not as good as stock but definitely better than CM...
Problems with it tho are that it keeps trying to autofocus which I find a little annoying...
Secondly and more importantly... its not allowing to take videos in less than 620*480... which was the problem to begin with... I'm starting to think this is a main CM limitation rather than any application...

The stock camera has the advantage that Samsung can make calls directly to the hardware - fast and efficient. Because the stock camera only runs on Samsung devices.
When we talk about AOSP, now we are talking about generic Android. Google rewrote it for all devices with a general framework - it works on HTC. Now, the hardware cannot be directly addressed. Much more complicated programming - simpler in a way, but harder in others.
Then along comes AOKP. Those guys want to take Google out of the deal entirely, so they again rewrite everything and add another layer of abstraction. And when you think that NOBODY on the AOKP team owns an S2 and they don't even list it as a supported device. It is no surprise that the a large percentage of the features of the S2 are no longer available. For the life of me, I can't understand why putting up Superman wallpaper is better than having a decent camera, long battery life, FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, etc.....
..but shortly after I flashed CM9 stable, I kinda started to miss touchwiz a lot, so I had to nandroid back to it.
And I am the one who hates touchwiz.. (although, I use Nova as my launcher)
Never thought you would post this
By the way it happens always, aosp Rom doesn't suit all unless they are ready to compromise some features

I actually like Touchwiz on this phone, seriously. All previous versions annoyed me, but it is smooth and flows well on this phone.
Touchwiz is good and nice, but i think if the backgrounds were white (in the contacts and call log at least) it will be nicer

Can understand you very well.
Have been an aosp freak before (or I'm still, but not at this device), but I'm pretty pleased with touchwiz now. Some ctl and build.prop tweaks and all works fine so far.
Also touchwiz has at the current stage already some small, but useful features build in like the battery percent or the pinch to overview at the appdrawer. Not to forget about the missing mhl support at cm10 which is a dealbreaker for me.
Additional I must confess that I don't like the attitude of team hacksung, even while their work is still much appreciated and they are for sure great developers, it seems to me they aren't doing it anymore because they like to do it, more because they think they have to. For sure it's annoying when noobs clutter the development thread with ridiculous posts, but that you have to expect at a device like the gs3 and the argument that they are doing it for free, yes, it sure makes their work more valuable, but at the same time, they knew it when they started.
My opinion is they or at least every member of their team on his own should focus on one device, maybe that way it would be less load for each developer and at the same time more benefits for the community.
Sry that I cluttered your thread, this I wanted to get of from me sometime ago.

Coming from a galaxy s phone, I remember wanting touch wiz back. The problem with touch wiz as opposed to HTC sense, is you can't retain the framework with a custom Rom. I feel there is more to gain from having a custom Rom than having full blown touch wiz. Look around though, you can probably find a .zip of the launcher here, so you can run a very close emulation of touch wiz on the Rom if your choice. I had a Rom on my captivate called "remics" which had galaxy s3 stock theming throughout the operating system. Just look around, you'll find what you want here on xda

It's the hidden stuff I love in the new touchwiz, like the native mkv and other formats, stay awake, camera app, t9 dialler, swipe to message/call, reject a call with a message..... and loads more really well thought out features. Touchwiz isn't just the launcher. I use apex and have it looking how I want (stockish), yet retain all the samsung stuff. Why anyone would complain about touchwiz on the S3 is beyond me.

There are some good dialler apps and message apps that have white backgrounds (or customisable) with the t9 dialling aswell. I can't remember the names, but you should have a look if you're interested.
The simple fact that I could not create folders in my app drawer made me flash back

I am running Holo HD but I like touchwiz. Especially the icons, they did an amazing job on the icons. they look so nice now and not preschool like before. So I decided to keep using the touchwiz icons for holo.
Yeah, the thing I love with touchwiz is the message app (stock android'd message app is dead boring), the camera app and a bunch of other stuff.
What kinda is a dealbreaker for me which I can't really decide about is exFAT support. Dumbing down my 64gb microSDXC card kinda feels like a stupid thing to do. exFAT is much faster and allows big chunks to be handled at once (like 16 exabyte chucks instead of 4GB ones)
The whole idea with their Nature UX kinda appeals to me. Soothing alarm and ring tones and beautiful wallpapers. Much better than previous touchwiz's.
i like TouchWiz , tried it on both S2 and S3, i also tried CM9/CM10 on both
I hate the TouchWiz launcher, changing the launcher to something like nova solved my problems.
lol because of this I just reverted back to touchwiz from ADW.
I know alot of you are probably waiting on cm10 to flash, but i wanted to see if anyone was interested in a tweaked stock rom, with some extra features to flash while we wait, if so ill get working on a rom for us all to play with while we wait for cm10 just dont want to invest the time if no one wants it! so what do you guys think?

Also have the setting turn on for hot spot so those of us with unlimited data can easily go in and mod it. I cant seem to get the setting turned on keeps telling me i need to call Verizon.

reboot & sleep mode back for JB (ie when the power button is pushed) not sure if its easy or not just a wish list.

How do I flash DSPManager on the stock ROM? I can't stand not having it and I don't really like any of the custom ROMs.. and I am working with very limited space, so a custom ROM really is t an option for that reason alone. I recall a way to flash things without using recovery, but forgot what program did it..
I have the WiFi only nexus 7. I'm running cm10.1 and it nice & i like it. What i want to know is what ROM has the most features and eye candy? I want to try something different but so many to choose from & so little internet bandwidth i cant download them all and try. I get 15gb of internet bandwidth using dish network powered by exceed high-speed a month but, right now from a lot of other downloads I'm probably close the the limit. I've tried the open kang project the one with the purple unicorn and its nice but, what are others. I like them to be not changed stock but only from clean source like cm10.1 and with a lot of features and no demo apps and links to donate. I'm not against the donate but i like them to not be listed in the ROM. I believe the devs here do deserve to receive donation for the hard work so please don't take what i said wrong. I have donated to many developers by buying the themes and apps they develop and post on Google play store.

Your initial post is a little confusing, you want a rom with lots of customization options and yet clean like stock? Not sure how that would work.
Anyway paranoid android is probably the most customizable ROM out there that might suit your needs.
You might be better served with a custom launcher such as nova or apex, both are smallish downloads from the play store and allow a fair bit of playing around with docks and such.

I'm using stock modified by myself a little bit just because I got tired of having to add stuff and I'd rather just remove. As for other ROMs I used to use CleanROM which is very good in all areas except you have to add in anything Samsung you might want, I think it also had a few bugs but nothing serious. Tried Bean's and Hyper Drive both were very nice to use and look at but I found it too troublesome to have that many settings especially since some things would cancel or break others (not often) so I've stayed away from those two for the last gen or so.
