miui is supported by devs on the i9100 forums, and ported beautifully to I777. Yes, I've tried paranoid android and cm10, they DO NOT have full touch to focus. And they all use ICS Camera.

I asked Mickymauz why we don't have support for regular camera apps and this was his response:

"It has something to do with the camera drivers not being compatible with CM base"

I just checked all AOKP JB ROMS. None of them have any camera besides Camera ICS. So its not MIUI that's the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Dude, You are the ONLY one with a complaint about the camera.

I have never heard of Camera ICS before, If its a 3rd party app, your so wrong. NO AOSP ROM WILL COME WITH 3RD PARTY ****

and I'll ad a nice link for ya to read about JB and the camera.

This should be the end of it. I would reccomend it atleast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I'm running the latest task/ktoonsez aokp build with siyah kernel. As far as I can tell with some basic testing, the camera adjusts its focal point to the proper distance based on the distance away the object its that I click on. As far as I understand, this is the behavior you are looking for.

Perhaps there is confusion regarding the actual location of the camera app? From what I understand the camera stuff in all of these jelly bean builds resides in the gallery app...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I think I know what he's talking about - the camera does not focus on a specific object that I touch on the screen. I have the same problem too. Try focusing in on a close object with something in the background; basically, a macro shot. Then focus on the background. In Touchwiz roms, the macro focus works, but if the background is touched the camera adjusts properly, bringing it into focus and the close object blurred.

In AOSP roms, it doesn't work. At least, in my experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
That's what I was saying above - mine does what you describe - on aokp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
OK let me let you in on a few things. First MIUI is not supported here. A few people have ported the roms but that is it. As it is closed source (after ripping the coding off of CM, main reason no real developer will touch it) (yes they have opened a few apps but nothing much) there is not much the porters can do about it.

The answer you got back is a typical one of a porter as they have no idea what is really going on.

As for touch to focus. It works on the AOKP that I am running.

Once there kernel source is released will it help MIUI? Yup once the CM team works their magic to make it work on their builds then I am sure the MIUI team will take the coding as per their normal style.

Now please bear with most people here. MIUI has not gotten the best rep around here and never will. No developer likes their cording taken and then closed off. Not to mention some rumors that it gas a huge China government backing, which means it may or may not have monitoring software built in as this is legal in china. Alot think that is the reason they closed off the source code changes that they took from others.

Now if you really want support for MIUI. Then go to that site. Here you will not get much help.

I don't mean crap, its just simply not possible. I uploaded a video showing explicitly what the problem is. I know for a fact that this is not the way the touch to focus feature was designed by google, and i wish someone else could see that, and possibly help me figure this out.

And MIUI is a goverment OS with spy software? sounds very unlikely.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Looked like it was focusing just fine to me. You know that little box that goes about where you tap, and kinda zooms in and out real quick, and get fuzzy then clear. then the box goes green. Thats focusing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lekerstein:
OP, you have to realize this is a camera phone, not a high-end Canon or Nikon. Fact is, you're not going to get the same dramatic focus differences between foreground and background objects as you can with those cameras, which have MUCH wider and narrower aperture ranges (not to mention customizable shutter speeds of course). Whatever Google advertised as touch-to-focus, im sure they dramatized the pictures to show much more incredible focus effects than actually possible on a little tiny point-and-shoot 8mp camera.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ChefAnt:
Dude, first off, what roms are you running that use Camera ICS as the native camera app? Um I'm running cMIUI and I have the stock AOSP Camera app? Not to mention the only AOKP rom actually made for this phone is Task's AOKP, Those ports are just that, ports. All they basically are are I9100 roms with a I777 kernel with a handful of other things done to make it function properly.

OP if you don't like the issue you are having then don't run ports? That's my only advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] beforedenied:
Um if you're running cmiui ported by mickymauz then NO, being as I talked to him myself, he is running ics because he doesn't like to use camera ics which is the camera app. I promise. I'm not lying. Just believe me and move on. Yes, it looks like the stock aokp camera, but if you go to the market and search camera ics it won't install cus its already installed.

I have had multiple android phones. I know the photos aren't as good as a professional dslr, I have the t2i so I know this but manually setting the focus range to capture a picture is a feature that is expected, and very noticeable in terms of macro vs. Landscape.

Being a photographer, I think no single jb rom that can focus manually is a huge setback, and I understand that maybe I'm alone because I care so much about this type of thing.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madzix:
Hello guys,I'm using BioHazard_W v.4 ROM, and the RAM usage of it's pretty high, how to lower the ram usage on it?

It's always over 240mb from 350, I wan't to tweak that RAM usage to 150-200 normaly, any advice on that?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
240 MB used out of 350 MB ... that means 110 MB free.

That's a respectable number.

Now let me tell you one interesting thing about Linux : free RAM is useless RAM.

Whenever possible, Linux will leave you with as low free RAM as possible, and use the rest of the RAM for caching. This will not only make the system goes faster, but -- in case of portable devices -- reduce power usage as most of the most-often used data is kept in memory, saving the device from having to access a storage media (which consumes more power than accessing the RAM).

So... if your system is not suffering from endless lags and redraws... just ignore the RAM usage.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madzix:
Btw, my phone had 40mb of RAM free right now when I checked, and I can't multitask successful, when I minimize something and open something else, then, when I decide to open the previous app, it reloads again, and I just wan't it to be on RAM and minimized.

Any suggestions how to make the multitaskin way better?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
In that case, try cutting down on apps that continuously run in the background.

In my phone, apps that run in the background are : Google+, Avast!, Pulse (update every 3 hours), Tasks+, Widgetsoid, and CPU Tuner. All other apps I prevent from starting using AutoStarts.

-- Galaxy W + DXKL1 + CM9 + xda --
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madzix:
Ok, will try.

But I found another solution for that.

Seems to be some good choices including both Touch Wiz, CM10 and Jellybean options.

What ROMs worked well for you and which didn't?

Which ROMs are you seeing continued development on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I'm running Liquid Smooth, its based off of CM10 (AOSP)

Liquid Smooth and Synergy have both worked flawlessly for me (i've got links in my signature to each of there respective threads)

Umm... I know liquid smooth has continued development, obviously CM10 and AOKP do as well. Incubus is hard at work with Jellywiz, and i know eschelon is always doing stuff with synergy. But i'm sure other developers are hard at work as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
CleanRom all the way for me. It's been several weeks now, but I tried older versions of CM10 and Jellywiz and had problems with both. CleanRom has been fantastic though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rfranken:
This liquid smooth is really nice.

Yeah I think clean Rom is an excellent tw Rom. I've used it a lot. Cna is a great cm10 Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Jellybomb is probably the most stable custom rom available for our device. Prior to this synergy was the King of customs. All jb rom's have issues.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Eclipse was awesome! Great battery life and super stable.

I go between it and synergy r73. There's some touchwiz things I just can't shake.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fix-this!:
cm10 or beans rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
not all aosp roms have issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Hotboot issues are still happening in synergy along with "ghost wifi" issues. Beans (from what I've read) has the same issues. Clean is what I consider to be stock, and not "custom", so I didn't count it. Eclipse has that network location issue in bold on the main op, big turn off for me. All tw jb's are based off of t-mobile which presents obvious issues for vzw users. Aosp network issues are hit or miss, seams to be user based, but ultimately seams as a whole to be not nearly perfect. Just basing my information on all the reports I've read. I've run slim bean, all synergy's, clean, kangs, cm10, and recently Jellybomb. Jellybomb has been a clear standout of all of them. Again, just my opinion, individual results will vary.

Boom! Jellybomb biatch!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fix-this!:
i may have to try it someday. cm10 m2 + leankernel is running soo good for me im afraid to switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Do some more research bud...location services is fixed on eclipse. I recomend flashing each rom like i have instead of basing your opinion solely on what u read....not trying to bust your balls as i agree with most of your posts on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
And so it is...sorry for wrong info. In general when someone makes a post like this, research has probably been to a minimum so I was trying to generalize. My typical response would be to research more and don't ask such a super general question that cannot be answered!

But good to know, that rom does look tempting..... :)

Boom! Jellybomb biatch!

All this positive talk about Eclipse I'll have to check it out.

Will have to wait awhile though as my wife said no more flashing for a few weeks cuz we are due any day for our 2nd child and she wants my phone working for when i get "the call"

good thing Liquid smooth is running real nice for me.

if I ever go back to Touch Wiz it sounds like I'll have to try out Jellybomb.

I know how much everybody loves a "what's the best rom" question, so I'll try and ask a better one by stating exactly what I'm looking for. Hopefully this will make my question slightly less stupid.

I'd like a very basic looking, stock-ish rom with some added features. I'm not really into those roms that look super customized and completely different from what my phone started off with. Not badmouthing those, just not my thing.

I'd like a lock screen with app shortcuts like my gs3 has. I'd like to be able to change the icons at the top of the pulldown notification screen to include things like Wifi Tether, mobile data, sync, etc.

As I understand, there are no real stable JB roms for the Note just yet. Especially no stock roms. If I'm wrong, please let me know. Although honestly, I don't know what new things JB brought, so I'm sure I can live without it.
