[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Jarmezrocks:
I think he is waiting on my update. I see there are a few other eager devs/themers. I have been working on the Aroma installer for this ROM and it is almost complete. I have been very busy with work also and have just moved house as well so as you can imagine life is hectic.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now it is 1am and I am just about to do some more work on the ROM installer, I start work at 7.15am so I won't be doing too much tonight, however I would like to include some of the other peoples work that have been contributing to the thread. I have downloaded [MENTION=4280397]djb77[/MENTION] 's version of the ROM and I will do a diff against the stock ROM and include his mods within the Aroma installation. Thank's djb77 :good:

Status Update

But to keep everyone updated to where I am at with the installer, I have segregated the ROM into the sections I mentioned in this post .

I have completed theming of the installer. Here is a taste of what you can expect: splash screen and icons backed by a Samsung themed Aroma installer (which I am not really happy with just yet but will do for now).

About 60% of the installation code is complete. It's got plenty of options included that everyone will want. I have made space for themes but have yet to include any.

Cool Things to Expect

Other nice "theme" like extras that I have included (these were already made by me ages ago when I was bored) include customised ringtones .ogg format as well as previous versions of Android sound themes for those of us like me who are kind of "nostalgic" and hearing the sounds of Eclaire/Froyo/Gingerbread bring back reminiscent memories of your first Samsung device. Sorry guys but I love the good old 'battery dead notification' from Gingerbread lol :D and it doesn't scare the bejebas out of me if I am half asleep like ICS->KK ones do!

Anyway, those were already created and will make their way in there at some stage, but for now it will be the basic ROM installation according to my previously mentioned post...follow the K.I.S.S method until all bugs are ironed out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extras I have started

Lastly I am working on two more things

1) XML edits of Settings to remove Note remnants of S-Pen settings etc.

2) I have made a start on bringing Jkays back for those of us who are missing it. (this is not high priority until everyone is happy with the ROM package as a whole).

Thanks guys. Any further questions please direct them to [MENTION=273300]sonyc[/MENTION] (although I believe he too is very busy also).

User Contributions

Anyone with any add-ons/extras or patches that have been uploading and sharing with us here, (thanks - any help is appreciated by all of us) who would like to include their work in the main install could you please send me a PM with an install package? Also could I please request that all themes be provided as as VRTheme and not as pure apks as the size of the ROM will blow out to epic proportions.

Suggestions

The very last thing that sprung to mind as I was working up inside the roof of a house today installing network data connections... is that we probably need to cater for those of us on limited internet connection? So maybe 3 versions of the ROM should be released? What are peoples thoughts??

Ultra-Lite: Refer to my post again -> here Essentially the Aroma installer still but but a basic ROM built around CORE and GAPPS, thats IT! Nothing else. Only we will have all patches and fixes for any issues.

Standard-ROM: Again refer to my post again -> here

Essentially everything mentioned here. However no themes, but the only extras included will be performance enhancements/tools/binaries as mentioned and service.jar mods. No themes. No ringtones. No anything else that would over and above what Samsung would release if they actually made us some firmware...oh yeah and all patches and fixes as they become available?

Full-featured ROM. For those of us who don't give a f*#% about internet connection "Give me everything I want it! I want it ALL!" Same as Standard-ROM however include all the fancy extras, user submitted themes, fonts, wallpapers, ringtones or any other contributions included in the installer package.

Additions-package. Full-featured ROM minus Standard-ROM. The user contributed extras as a single package for anyone to download separate.

Build priority

1). Standard-ROM

2). Ultra-Lite

3). Full-featured

4). Additions
