Which rom to flash for ICS without Touchwiz? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I upgraded my skyrocket to ICS but I am not happy with having the same old Samsung Touchwiz on top of ICS. It really kills the ICS feel... I would like to get plain vanilla ICS on my phone without the Samsung Touchwiz interface. Which rom should I flash on my phone and what are the steps? Any help is appreciated....

Aokp milestone 6. Cm9 is okay but with the rom control settings you can personalize even more.

[Q] Which Android version you use ? Post it here

Now that ICS is officially out, which android version you use with your nexus s device ?
i got ICS stock, with stock kernel...running fine, not like ginger but good enough for daily use
Manually upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 from GB 2.3.6 . Only battery issue so far and another thing, there is a strange lag when pressing call button from contacts app - sometimes it takes up to 7-8 seconds before call starts.
Nexus S (I9023) ICS 4.0.3 (CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 18 + Matr1x v13)
I'm using Stock ICS 4.0.3 and Stock Kernel... don't really like custom rooms filled with stuff i don't use and custom launchers that most of the times get laggy ...
In the future i might change to MIUI 4.
ICS 4.0.3 completely stock and unrooted.
A little laggy at times and battery life isn't quite as good as it was with GB but, browser aside which is ****, reasonably happy with it.

No official ICS for NS4G, so back and fourth between oICS and cm7 nightly.

Considering the Nexus S shipped with Gingerbread... that's quite a feat.
not official OTA for my 9020a, but running near stock with kustom kream rom. love it. runs pretty smooth for me
Running on stock ICS with eugene373's Kernel 3.x
Stock ICS 4.0.3, GlaDOS v2.5 ;-)
Stock GB 2.3.6 !!
Sph33r 4.0.3 with GLaDOS 2.5 kernel.
Oh so no one uses Froyo on their Nexus S?
Stock ICS, Stock kernel.
Actually reading negative reviews about ICS surprising me, on my device it is very smooth no lags at all, battery life is excellent it is lasting for 19 hours at least with normal use and 3g is always on.
my device is I9020T.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Stock, rooted 2.3.7
Every ICS ROM I've tried has problems. Either crashes, battery life issues, or other annoyances that drive me insane enough to not want to use ICS yet.
Right now I'm in Android heaven with 2.3.7 and ADW EX. Always smooth as butter and ZERO problems.
CM9 kang by @gearheadbread on Twitter. His builds are really nice.

Stock 4.0.3 unrooted.
I am extremely happy with ICS and have not had any problems with it. Don't think I would ever go back to gingerbread.

[Q] What is the most stock ICS rom out there?

Other than the official ICS (4.0.3) what is the most stock ICS rom for the Nexus S (i9020a).

Most stock ... but not quite stock. o.o
Well how about BrainMaster's Stock ICS with his tweaks?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399273
I REALLY enjoyed my Stock ICS + Flavours of ICS + Demo's Framework Fix + Extended Controls. However, Slim is, somehow, even better. If you want stock, go for stock. If you want a quick, feature-rich ROM that acts and looks like stock, practically everything in the dev forum is good

Let's post here our phone,rom that we are using.(Help people to choose phone,rom )

Hello everyone

Rom;Vurrut rom v5_rc2 with meizu theme
Kernel;vurrut v8(120mhz-1350mhz)

[Q] Why don't we have a stock vanilla ics rom on this phone?

I come from using a nexus one, and before that a g1, so I am used to having vanilla android on my phone or at least having the option to have it. I bought the one S when my phone broke down thinking that the htc sense UI would not be such bad thing. However after a few weeks I still can't seem to get used to it and actually have grown to hate it. I installed a rom that doesn't have most of sense but it still doesn't have the same feel. So getting to my question, why isn't there a rom that is just plain ics without sense. Will this ever be available?
Also kind of off topic, but why was sense ever created? I understand that htc wanted to put a twist on android but wouldn't it be enough to create the apps and widgets? I feel like some of the key features of android are lost and for little gain. What is going to happen when jelly bean rolls out? Will one S owners have to wait more while htc tweaks it to work with sense again? I have gotten really used to the hardware aspects of this phone but I am contemplating switching over to a galaxy nexus just for the benefit of having vanilla android and having more development support.
Have you tried CM9 or Paranoid?

They are not AOSP, they are based on it. And heavily modded. This dude just wants AOSP.

Idk man... I'm new to this phone, but I know my phone is now on Android 4.0.4, and there isn't a single hint of sense ANYWHERE in the ROM. I also had to flash a different kernel so I would be willing to bet its not on the stock kernel

that differen kernel is still based on a heavy "sensed" one by HTC. easily tested by it's multitasking ability or lack thereof. i don't think anybody "de-sensed" it completely yet.
HTC One S via XDA
CM9, AOKP and Parandroid are not sense Based. Ohe kernel is not sense based. a good example is MIUI, there are 2 MIUI builds, one is AOSP based (based on CM9) and the other one is sense Based.
Want proof by your own? flash CM9 or AOKP and flash a sense kernel on top of it and try to boot the phone. you will get a boot loop.
CM9 is the closest you will get to an AOSP pure vainilla rom since is based on it.
You guys on the first page must be pretty challenged... CM9, AOKP, and PARANOID are based off the the CM9 source. They have NOTHING to do with Sense. The only Sense based ROM (not stock ROMs, IE TrickDroid) is one version of MIUI as it has the stock Sense camera and such...
Sense was created because it's what HTC wanted. Why is there TouchWiz, Moto Blur, or anything else like that? It's because the device manufacturers wanted their own version. Thank the dev team for the option to switch different version of Android... We will only have AOSP ROMs and not ever stock ICS (no mods) ROMs because there is no stock ICS for our device. Only Sense or AOSP.

That's really funny that you're calling him out when CM is definitely not stock vanilla ics.
So, the easiest answer to this question is because no one, including the OP, has created one yet, if its even possible with what there is to work with.
I'm actually pretty happy with all of the options devs have created for this phone.
only "nexus" phones have vanilla ics

Not as funny as you saying CM9 is not aosp. It is built from aosp and made to look look and act like aosp. Don't understand you fools?????

He never said that. Relax, man. The OP is just commenting on how he's tired of Sense and would prefer a more vanilla experience.

What does "stock ICS" actually mean in this context? AOSP is the true Android experience as Google intended, right? So, is stock ICS something else?
So we can get:
AOSP - original;
AOSP - customized;
Sense - original (default)
Sense - customized.
Is this correct?
Wouldn't we be able to get TouchWiz ROMs, for example?
I'm new to flashing ROMs and all, but I've been following the scene for the past few months, and even though I can say I'm among the brighter people, I still have difficulties understanding - mostly - the nomenclature of the scene.
We don't have it because is EVIL. That stupid google search gadget permanently stuck to all pages is ridiculously stupid. Plus indeed a lot of the interface. HTC Sense is like a cool breeze.
well i come from HTC Sensation ROMS, and in that sections there are a lots of "Senseless ROMS" where everything related with sense is removed, except for the camera, and the roms were so smooth and as fast as AOSP ROMS, the feeling was exactly the same,
I hope someone make a senseless rom for HTC One S soon because its really awesome (like a AOSP rom without any bug becaus its based on a sense rom byt without any sense part)

There are AOSP roms; they are just in the alpha stage of development and rather buggy in some areas. If you want a senseless ROM (as in the actual sense launcher removed), any of the HTC-based roms (including stock, non-rooted phones) can have Sense removed and replaced by any launcher from the market. I've tried the existing AOSP roms, and aside from the bugs... the stripped down HTC-roms as just a quick.

[Q] Roms that look lile 2.3.5 but software of jelly bean

Hi Guys.. this is my first post and thread.
I recently rooted my phone and installed cm10.1 and the capabilities of it were brilliant and much more advanced than the gingerbread. However I really like the original gingerbread look and feel so I wanted to ask if any one knows any Roms that have a gingerbread look but have the capabilities and feel of a jelly bean rom?
Thanks.
Just use a launcher with a GB theme
AW: [Q] Roms that look lile 2.3.5 but software of jelly bean
Do you mean the sense 3 look and feel?

if you mean calendar etc then you can install sense-themed aps or use ics rom with htc sense like sabsa or ice_ds, viper, you will get better camera too. There are not JB Sense roms.
couldn't find a 2.3.5 sense theme but if you search in the play store with the following criteria you will find some examples.
"cm10 sense theme"
good luck.
Thank You all very much for the replies.
Im just going to use the cm10 rom, thanks again.
You can use FullySamsung v1.0.1. Thanks to samsung, with the crappytouchwiz UI your phone will look like it runs GB even if it runs one of the latest android version :good:
Me a samsung hater ? Nooooooo....
Touchwiz is great , unless you are a samsung hater, !
