Ok, so I have finally been able to find som custom roms for the TUKU T2

Hi guys. I have finally, after hours and hours of sifting through forums, found what I was looking for. I found actually many viable custom roms for the Gsmart Tuku T2. Found them on a russian Forum called "4PDA.ru". It is in russian of course, so your best bet is to use Chrome browser and have it translated in english. It won't translate all, but enough to find and download all that you need. Right the first post in the topic has the whole list. There are many versions plus a generic one. I have downloaded a few and will be testing them gradually. The link is here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=471828 Right now I'm using the LolliMod_V2 with the update provided to 2.1. It is one of the first in the list and I have to say it works marvelously. I already have had root, done by framaroot and I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.1.2 I think. I did have problems using the SD card to flash as it can't mount, but from what I saw it seems it's because it's a small SD card. So I just simply copied the zip file to the internal storage and selected install zip from internal storage instead from sd card in the cwm recovery. Same way, after install, restarted phone, then again into recovery, installed the update to 2.1.

As said, it works perfectly, none of the freezing or slowdown happening, that was constant with the stock rom. The LolliMod is I think android 4.4.2, which is fine, as the stock was 4.0.4. It provides some nice options, a lot more settings, far better graphics and so on. I have noticed a few hickups, like the Volumes settings in the sound settings won't show and the settings will close, but you can still set the volume for everything otherwise. It's a brilliant rom.

So anyway, if you are looking for ROMS for the TUKU T2, definitely have a look at that site. If you'll have problems with it, let me know, I can reupload some that I have already downloaded to some file sharing site...

As always, all credits go to the creators of these roms, none are mine, but as I don't speak russinan, I can't tell it to them personally. :p Take care.

My wife has the Galaxy S3 (AT&T) and I have the Galaxy S3 (Sprint). I've googled for best ROMs, but not everyone has the same criteria to judge 'best'. I'm looking for the best ROM with the following features (numbered most to least important) that supports both of our phones:

High Stability (bug-free)

Compact size (minimal bloatware)

Active development (support)

Good battery life

Good Performance

Recommendations would be much appreciated. Please specify why you recommend a particular ROM. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well i would say the custom TouchWiz roms for your sprint one i don't know about the AT&T one though........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Anyone else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] g_money:
Use the at&t and sprint s3 android development forums.

Check the titles for TW VS aosp, os version, blah, blah.

Read the Ops for specifics.

I also look for roms with a lot of chatter in the thread, and roms that appear to be regularly updated.

The problem with ur question is that if u get 20 answers you'll get 17 different roms...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. I have been doing something like that. With respect to my Sprint (L710) variant I have installed and tested these four:

SlimKat (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2400593)

modified Stock (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741413)

CM11 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2030660)

Gummy (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563973)

Do they represent a good cross section of available ROMs or am I missing a bunch of good ones? In particular, I disqualified the second option since several apps couldn't write to extsdcard even though I have installed and executed SDFix. SDFix is not required for the first option and it does everything I want. I also tried CM11, but it seems to have more bloatware than SlimKat and no obvious advantages. Gummy kept giving me FC's on various gapps apps. In summary SlimKat has floated to the top. My only complaint is that I had to tweak the dpi, but the texdroider app fixed that. What are some good options that I'm overlooking?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
on the TW side there is Wicked X 8.0/Barebones and Tribute rom and AOSP you can try CarbonRom or some of the newer roms like Broken OS, GrapheneROM a optimized CarbonRom, Spirit Rom, TMS3-Dark_Droid-3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. I'll check those out. I forgot to mention, but another criteria is that any candidate ROM must be available on both the Sprint and AT&T variant of the Galaxy S3. I've eliminated quite a few on that basis.

Update: Based on a bit of Googling it appears as follows:

Wicked X -> Sprint only

Tribute ROM -> Sprint only

Carbon ROM -> both Sprint and AT&T

Based on that I'll investigate Carbon ROM and if it seems appropriate, give it a try. I just checked out Carbon ROM for Sprint. It appears the forum petered out back in February and the download links are broken. Think I'll pass on that one. Also, I hesitate to try the newer ones you mentioned since my most important criteria is stability (ie, bug free). Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Keep in mind there are quite a few ROMs (including Carbon) for our device, that are very active on Google+ and not here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thisismyringtone:
I would say broken os rom http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/4-4-4-brokenos-t2890496
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. I'm trying BrokenOS. So far it seems fine, but I haven't noticed many differences from SlimKat. Can you offer any pros or cons that would help me decide?

I do see that it offers both the Nova and Google Now launchers. Nova has an extensive settings page which includes a handy backup and restore feature. I can't find anything similar with Google Now? I can't even change the grid (icons per row and column). Am I missing something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thisismyringtone:
I'm pretty sure the base of the rom is based off of slim not sure though. Well broken os is very smooth and fast never had any force closes battery life is great on it.

For the Google launcher it doesn't have anything really you can customize. So no you aren't missing anything there. I would say to use nova.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
CarbonRom is back up here is the link for the D2LTE which will work for both your S3's and here is the Change Log if you want to check it out.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. That helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. I see your link if for Nightlies. As mentioned, my first criteria is stability so I'm probably not interested in them. Is there an operational site with a stable version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
That's the official site.....the reason they are nightlies is because the developers add and remove features all the time it's in the channel log..but the basic functions of the phone always work.....so they are stable nightlies....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks for all the feedback. I've tentatively selected SlimKat. It's the slimmest of all tested and seems fully functional. BrokenOS seemed nice as well, but it was slightly less slim, much less active development, and didn't offer any noticeable advantages. I'd still be interested in recommendations. As mentioned, a candidate must be available for both the Sprint and AT&T variant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. I had some time this morning, so I installed the latest Carbon ROM nightly. Here are my comments so far based upon limited testing:

Closer to stock than SlimKat (eg, dpi, icon size, etc)

Google Now toolbar top of all home screens

Calendar not included in ROM nor gapps (so installed Google Calendar from Play Store)

Titanium Backup Pro complained about installed SuperSU (so flashed Update-SuperSU by Chainfire)

SuperSU app tends to hang (temporarily clear via reboot)

Several icons appear on Lock Screen (they seem to taken from notification screen)

Fully functional so far (with exception of SuperSU)

Less slim than SlimKat (Nandroid 951MB vs 783MB)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
You see...that is the problem...BEST can only ever be opinion...they are all the BEST for the people using them if you check the individual development threads.

Battery performance will vary from user to user....ROMs have little to no effect on battery performance...it is how you set up the kernel and your usage/preferences/signal and such that affect it..not the ROM.

You can only learn about stability by reading the development thread. There may be an app or dirty flash or lemon phone that makes something unstable for one person and not for the other 1000's of users of that ROM..and maybe that one guy comments here and not the other 1000.

Again performance is kernel related and the settings in the kernel....learn how to ajust your kernel settings mostly through trial and error.

Active development...you just need to check the first page of the development section...the ones on the top page with most replies are the most active.

So that leaves compact in size...search through them for the words debloated and look at the download size.

The rest will be mostly opinion and things you will need to learn by trial and error.

Googling for best ROMs will turn up garbage as again there is no baseline...did everyone start with a clean flash? Was the download good? Is there decision for BEST based on ludicrous items like color? Included launcher? You may as well be asking what's the best curtains to use in my living room? You will get everything from price, to color, to thermal blocking, to texture, to cleanability.....all relative to the person using them.

Hope this helps and explains why you will never find a useful best rom thread and kudos for actually listing some criteria.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. I understand what you are saying, however, I have found the comments to be useful especially in terms of narrowing down the number of candidates to evaluate. In the final analysis, I must do my own research. At the moment, my personal favorite is SlimKat and I use it as a baseline for comparing others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Again...kudos to you sir for realizing that and for all that contributed to this thread. We are trying to promote good helpful conversations like this that is not bogged down with fan bois and non-helpful opinions....Thanks to all!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonoro11:
Hi,

I am looking for a camera app that would take two pics <one with flash and one without> and blend them (user adjustable).

Sort of a low light flash-assisted HDR mode. It could be also called adjustable fill flash mode. As a bonus color temperature of the flash pic could be adjustable.

Is there such an app?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] num1gever:
Great idea! Could be called FHDR (Flash High Dynamic Range), or something.

Sadly, I don't know if such an app exists.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teio:
It can be done,I'm just not sure if the results would be great though...

For it to work,the flash picture would have to be taken first, as focusing with the flash takes longer and would make you frame it differently than the first picture, so if you take the flash pic first, the no flash one can be taken immediately after
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonoro11:
Would it be possible to port Xiaomi Mi4's camera app? It does have a "smart flash" mode that does just that:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Xiao...IMX214-sensor-demo-images-show-it-off_id58484
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonoro11:
I did some testing with ProCapture2 's ReducedNoise+/Night+ mode, and it did automatically take & combine two shots, one w/ flash and one w/o .

On my Nexus5, it only works if the camera uses the flash to focus and it results in a nice fill flash effect, much nicer than flash alone.

Unfortunately it doesn't always work, sometimes it will fire the flash on both shots....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
That would actually be a nice addition to a good camera app. Like you mentioned at the moment I have to take a flash and none flash and combine them to get the desired effect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim.sidz:
Hey

Interesting. I like this idea.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonoro11:
Bump. Anyone knows of a camera app that has implelemented this?

Thank in advance.
[Galaxy S III General] Mostafa Wael:
Since Samsung stopped supporting the international galaxy S3 model (aka GT-I9300) claiming that the culprit is that it only has 1 GB RAM, so system apps cannot be run correctly, XDA Developers refused to settle down releasing the first milestone named ArchiPort, and here comes the other BIG EVENT.... :victory:

This is a discussion thread for the "back-to-n00t" project by [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION], where latest Touchwiz Android 4.4.4 ported to the I9300 from the Korean version SHV-E210S, to keep the origional development thread clean and only development-related ...

before getting started, you must remember the what-so-called a disclaimer:

Your Warranty is now

voided!

neither [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] nor me nor anybody is responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, exploded phones.

It's your choice to flash this ROM, not anybody else. If you don't know what you are doing, then i strongly advice you to do some research, or leave it until it is complete.

Also Mind that this is still Work-in-Progress

-->Features<--

**Stock Touchwiz Android 4.4.4**

**Heavily De-bloated**

**Deodexed, zipaligned, uncompressed**

**De-KNOXed**

What you need to know:

-->This ROM file contains kernel modified specifically for this ROM.

-->This ROM is heavily debloated, so it is very likely to find some system apps missing

-->This ROM does not supports any other custom kernels including arter97 kernel.

-->This is based on Korean firmware, some stuffs may remain in Korean(e.g. Dialer).

-->BusyBox or Superuser is not included!

For more info head to the origional development thread

Can you recommend one, for instance the one you are using??
[Galaxy S III General] Wyneg:
Congrats!

I want to congratulate to [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] for his work, I'll being paying attention until stable ROM release to try it :fingers-crossed:(Only one device to use, I can't permit me to lose connection :crying:).

Question: I'm from chile... If I install this ROM, need to install local modem to avoid "no network" issue? (Obviously making backup of EFS before flashing).

Thanks!

Note: I can't see screenshots in official post "[I9300] [Touchwiz Android 4.4.4] back-to-n00t; Bring the LTE fun back to 3G". Please, upload more to another site!!!

Note 2: I think is the link in post that no allow me see the pictures.... No!! It's [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]'s website, error 404.
[Galaxy S III General] Mostafa Wael:
Concerning the modem question i also have the same question asked in the development thread.

Screenshots and downloads question: i think arter's site is down for a while may be...

I am also having the same issue here when trying to download :(

We have to wait for arter's website to get back so i can download it and post screenshots :o
[Galaxy S III General] T0nyCr:
FYI
[Galaxy S III General] Wyneg:
Yeah, that's my fear... I love custom ROMs, but my first experience was awful, I lost connection to network and sim was asking for PIN number... I had to send to repair my S3, only with 2 weeks of usage!!! (that occured 3 months ago) :crying:

Now, I'm using S5 Sensation ROM and I think is great, but I want to try others available developments :D

Greetings!
[Galaxy S III General] Mostafa Wael:
Yeah i noticed now :(

So you advice that thread should be closed?

But I think there will be so much fuss about it later, for example after it was discovered that SMS seems to be fixed with third-party apps.

And when the KK kernel source for the korean model is released, it will be more stable... So

May be [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] says something about this thread. If he wants that this thread must be closed then i have no problems... I just wanted to help :D

I am having connection problems here so i didn't see a lot of replies in the development thread. Thanks for letting me know..
[Galaxy S III General] ClaudioIT:
I ask all of you to donate to the developers ..

They work every day to give us a free firmware kitkat stable ...

In a few hours have succeeded with hard work to give us a firmware almost totally stable ... finally soon we will have a stable firmware "semi-official"! :laugh::highfive::good:

[Galaxy S III General] abhibnl:
No, it's not working. I also tried editing some lines in csc folder but still not working. The reason is clear, Korea don't has any USSD implementation so naturally samsung removed it. But still, i'm comparing which files do we need to edit or add.

zram

how do you mod zram on this rom so i can reduce crashes
[Galaxy S III General] Wyneg:
Some people says that running without zram is better. You can de-bloat your ROM. I used "System App Remover" of jumobile (you must be root).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en

I erased samsung apps and others apps that I don't use.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S III General] carrstephen5:
thanks so de-bloating is better than zram
[Galaxy S III General] Wyneg:
If you have apps that you don't use, yes, I think so.
[Galaxy S III General] Mostafa Wael:
More zRAM applied = less fast RAM available. In other words, the more zRAM applied, the less the availability of the "raw" RAM, which is faster in use.

But in Android 4.4.4 hybrid ports, you will need zRAM at least on 300 MB even after debloating the ROM, to be able to handle multitasking properly.
