Is there a rom that's just like the galaxy s3 for the skyrocket that's fast and stable? I can find anything on the xda app
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
There are a few that use the GS3's Touchwiz launcher (example: SkyICS). But, I haven't see any w/ all of the GS3's features (like Smart Stay, etc).
Ya it would be cool to have a ROM that had all the gs3 apks and stuff
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
yeah people continue to point to those roms but thats not a straight touchwiz rom like on the gs3
i would have thought there would be just about the same amount of TW roms to Stock Android roms

I had smartstay on my rocket before. It didn't work great and I really just didn't care for it. You can get it though. I'm sure you can poke around with search and grab an apk for it

After using it for a day I just could not accept the tw launcher and had to install ics launcher.
Just wondering if anyone has found the touchwiz launcher useful and if so why?
If you ditched it which launcher did you go to?

TW ruined the ICS that's all I can say.

It's not a terrible launcher.... Just boring. Not very customize-able. I have and will always use an aftermarket launcher. AdW eX to be exact.
I am using Nova Launcher. I have had no issues with it so far.

Even though I dont have ICS yet (****ty Rogers), I definitely agree with hawk
I was looking for a nexus experience but didnt want to get a galaxy nexus.
Thats why i would recommend Nova Launcher, Ive watched enough videos
I'm neutral, just looks like plain old touchwiz to me. Like the one we've always had, And I think we expected that. But with the added multitasking features And other added features its beem a pleasurable experience so far And I'm thourghly enjoying it.

I would definitely love you if you get it vanilla. I hate touchwiz, most useless software ever.
BTW you got any ETA as to when its coming out?
I ditched it for Apex. Much nicer.
I've always used launcher pro, so i'm super used to it. I just have it set up to have an ICS feel to it using this guide. I've had this for a while now, but now I actually have true ics

This is what it turns out to look like. Not too shabby, b/c I don't really like Nova or Apex that much.

Yea, the touch whiz completely ruined ICS for me. I had ICS running on my Inspire 4G before I upgraded to the Skyrocket, which was aosp ICS. I could definitely see all the differences straight away, and was quite underwhelmed by the ICS leak. I think some of the best parts of aosp ICS are missing. I used apex launcher for a while to try to make it a bit better, but in the end, went back to my NexusMod 4 backup.
Looking forward to some vanilla ice cream goodness.

Besides the launcher (which I ditched and bought Nova instead), I don't know what else is TW. I have no experience with ICS till today's flash-fest, so it all seems good to me (minus the TW launcher).

I think its a race right now between a few of you guys to get an aosp style rom puahed out! I really appreciate your guys' hard work!
I've just recently started looking into rom development myself and if I thought I could help yet id offer but I'm not there yet. Keep us posted on how you're doing! I know I'm watching the dev section like a hawk!

The launcher, app drawer, and settings menu are the biggest changes. Some other little things like icons are changed too though.

+1 fpr apex. I use apex on my galacy nexus and now my skyrocket as well
The thing that annoys me most about TW on ICS is that they got rid of the settings button in the notification pull down. Like... WHAT THE **** SAMSUNG?

They also hobbled the lock screen. AOSP ICS allows for many music players to have controls on the lock screen. Samsung only supports it's own music player to have controls on it's TW lock screen. I just don't get it, why take away features?
On top of that to still not add a widget (since you are forced to use the stock TW music player to have lock screen controls) for the TW music player is just stupid. Makes you wonder how thought out TW is.
Hey just wondering if any one has given any thought to this, I know the leak is for the European, GSM variant but would it be possible to mix and match to make a Rom.i imagine not without the kernel but I figured did ask.

Read somewhere on here that the CM team is already working on CM10 for this device now that we have an unlockable boot loader.

Yes that is awesome, but I actually don't mind the Samsung overlay (highly modified and running nova of course), and there camera has really grown on me. I take allot of pics and while I like pro capture, LG camera and camera zoom fx, they never really seem to work like stock for me.

i was also wondering if we would get a port of the jellybean + touchwiz leaked update.
for some reason i like touchwiz a lot more then stock now.
Even AOSP Jellybean without Samsung enhancements would be interesting to try.
I'm not much into CyanogenMod (no offense to its many fans).

Just picked up a brand new galaxy s3. Loving it so far. 1st question of many. How can I get all my emails to show up? I synced my emIl account but it still shows 0 in the in box.
Edit: scratch that I guess it need a min to load.
What's a good stockish rom? I cant rememeber what I had on my nexus. I thinknit was akop. Do they have a rom for the s3.
Synergy if you want one without problems

I'm running aokp at the moment. Its been very stable and for the most part has a stock feel, with a few added functions.
Clean ROM for sure

I think Synergy is hands-down the best Touchwiz ROM for the GS3.
You want tw or aosp?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
CleanRom has the fewest mods, so it should be the most stable. Synergy has a ton of extra mods. Can't go wrong either way. I am running CleanROM 4.5 and have not found a reason to update.
Welcome to the club. You'll love the phone!
Try Beans 11 or clean rom 5.6
Yeah I'm loving it so far. Coming from a droid X, galaxy nexus, and now a galaxy s3 I can see a great improvement. The 1 thing that irritates me is the typing isn't as smooth as ios. It's alot better with swift keyboard but still not as smooth as I want.
I went with synergy rom and it's great. I'm guessing it's touchwiz since it comes with the touchwiz launcher (I like apex launcher).
I'll probably give aokp a try since I liked it on my nexus.
Oh yeah love the multi Window that's just bad***!
Hey, so i have a question for all of you veterans on here. Im mildly experimental, so i just do the basic flash a rom here and there deal. However, im running hyperdrive rls14 with stock kernel on my Verizon s3. Since it gives me options to have beats audio, aosp email and clocks as well as other great features like the touchwiz motion controls, I've been running it for a few months now.But ive realized its heavy on my battery life, and my phone has been getting hot more often than before. I felt like that partially due to the amount of ram it takes up. So does anyone have any good suggestions as to what i run? Because ive heard things such as pure stock is boring and want to make a good decision.
You can still run this, but I suggest you try the things that you want installed, and those that you think you can live without remove them. I think that will make a huge difference.

If flashing something different I'd say check out Andybones bonestock ROM. Along with the AOSP theme. Slicker than owl snot as my dad would say.

Also = AOSP, right? Well there's Halo, nightlies, "less" lag, faster updates (currently at Jb 4.2.2, TW is at 4.1.2), no TW bloat, (customizable) soft keys, and a host of other things. It's not what AOSP has that TW doesn't, sometimes it's what AOSP does not have which is why folks choose to avoid TW.

I'm getting tired of blacked out everything......dialer, sms, settings, backgrounds for everything etc....
I recently bought a windows tablet and love the colors, fonts, minimal clean look. I like the look of the new ios for iPhone(but I HATE Apple). Also, I really like the way google now is themed. I'm looking to make my phone look something like that. I'm really in to the modern, clean, minimalist look.
I feel like the answer is some sort of theme, but I can't find one that I like. That is where I am hoping someone can help. I am currently running nova prime on Liquid Smooth 3.0.
Any suggestions/recommendations?
Are you rooted and custom rom'd?

I've tried MIUI and thats too close to ios and I hate not having a app drawer......What I meant is I like the color combos they use. I really love running liquid, slim and other custom ROMS. I'm just looking for something a little brighter I guess. Thanks for the input though.
No biggie, I just thought I would ask. Surely there is someone else out there who would like the same thing.
Try Avatar ROM...its aosp but with miui theming abilities
