This can be downloaded from the NeatROM xda page

I'm downloading as I type so I'll get back to you on performance when I've had a bit of time to test it out.

I downloaded the full version last night but have yet to give it a go. It's the first time I've seen thus ROM and have to say everyone on the xda page seem so friendly and helpful, the dev seems like a really nice bloke too

Is there a reason the lite version is 1.23GB? Seems the naming scheme is a bit odd

 

[Shotgun84]

It's big because you get a lot of options such as different modems and kernels when installing using the aroma installer. I guess the name is a little confusing but if you opt out of a few of the installation option you have a lighter version of the full Rom.

 

[CDPlant]

Wow its good! Can't really find any faults so far

 

[Shotgun84]

Yeah no complaints from me. I'm running the full version with the latest siyah and its nice and smooth and quick. I can't really say for the battery yet as I spent a lot of time flashing to try and get the 23 toggle mod to work without success. But it appears that it's due to ll5 and not the Rom as the mod was made for lkc

 

[CDPlant]

1h15m of screen time and only 9% battery used, stock kernel. This is great
I know it's a bit of a clich

 

[funkylogik]

Lookin forward to a wee review in a few days bro..... could be the one that drags me away from stock.

Remember that "rooting for pc idiots" thread.... is that the latest version of siyah in it mate? need to root again when stupid odin works lol

 

[Shotgun84]

The latest version of Siyah is 1.8.6

Thanks mate, so in this neatROM, the aroma and all the options,when do u pick n choose what you want and dont?

 

[CDPlant]

The full version doesn't have an aroma installer (good for me as I don't like them at all) but the lite version has one where you can choose different options

 

[funkylogik]

I wana know if multiscreen is a thing that devs whill be given the code to so thier apps can be included then il happily stay with TW.
Anyone think thatl happen?
Is it something that has to be built into the app to work i take it? Or does the firmware alone do the work.?
*pondering geek question of the day* :beer:

 

[CDPlant]

There's a mod on xda that lets you add any app to the multi window. I can't link as I'm in my phone I know that Omega has it in the ROM by default and for others it's easily flashable

Here'e the one I've been using. I had hoped Funky would have picked up on the hints about this mod I'd been leaving him in threads where he mentioned this issue, but ah well

Lol mate u assumed i had a normal brain... never assume lol.
Thanx dudes (lmao id never say that in real life)

 

[funkylogik]

Dont hint lol.... punch me out n write it on my hand

Amazing how many ROMs look alike nowadays ("look" and features) ..

Speaking of "look" - would be nice if developer could post screenshots of different Setups etc. (Kernel / Launcher / etc. etc.) ..

When I installed my first custom rom with aroma I googled hours for all those different options

Thread closed, per OP request - the ROM dev has now started his own thread http://androidforums.com/international-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/671882-s3-neatrom.html
