is there any rom or launcher for the skyrocket i727 that uses the touchwiz nature ux, with all the icons and screens almost exactly like the galaxy S3?
search only turns up the sky jelly bean rom, but that has different (nexus) app icons and is different in other features.
i saw that the salman ics rom comes close to the S3 rom... but that's available for the galaxy S2, couldn't find it for skyrocket
please suggest something, as I'm sure at least something has to be out there. doesn't matter if it's ics or jelly bean.
any help is appreciated.
thanks
Have you tried this? I know it works with our CM10. Probably others too.

thanks. without your link i never would've found it!
so i flashed cm10 to use it.
but it didn't change the contacts, phone or notification bar style from the default cm style
those are kinda important to me. any way to accomplish that?

Well I haven't read the OP closely enough to know if it was supposed to change those. You could try searching for a CM10 "theme chooser" TouchWiz theme. I know there's some out there.

thanks. i searched and found a couple of touchwiz themes.
this comes pretty close to the one on galaxy S3.

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!

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.
XDA,

not possible, if you looked around you would know it relies on the touchwiz framework.
As he said the stock camera needs the touchwiz framework so it could he possible, but probably a pain. However check this out. Its still the AOSP camera, but adds the features if the stock camera.

Currently I have the regular Android green and would LOVE to have the ICS blue. Prefer something that can just be flashed.

Ya =/, I really like CM9 and 10, really clean, but i get terribad usb transfer speeds. Like around 700kb/s write compared to 15-20mb/s write using it =/ If I can figure this out I would would just use that. However I can't seem to get a solid answer whether there is a fix to it or not.

The UMS transfer speed is indeed ROM related. It's been a problem with CM since CM9. Using MTP mode speeds things up. As well as mounting USB through recovery.

Not sure where you would get those but you could edit the stock ones with paint to change the colors. Pull SystemUI.apk use 7zip to browser archive copy the drawable-hdpi from the res folder. Edit the pics then drop them back into the same location. Copy to system/app folder then reboot.

[REQUEST] Smart Stay & Smart Rotate Stock
Been Running the JB 4.1.2. Stock Leak from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038585 for the last two weeks now. It appears to have most of the same stuff as the S3 and it runs great, but I JUST realized there's no Smart Stay or Smart Rotate. Would be nice to have if someone could get their hands on it, mod it and release it. Thanx!
Guys, did you ever think about porting galaxy s4 rom on our device? that'd be great if you port Touchwiz 4.2.2.
Can't be done. We can get certain apps but not a whole ROM their debloated stock software is 1.4gigs.

Oh I see, But that would be great if someone could make that worked. I know that certain apps will not work on our device because of S4's different hardware, but some features like the gestures while in gallery or quick notification when phone is locked will worked because its just the censor on the left side of earpiece, maybe that could worked. I just cant afford s4 so I wish maybe we could get an update of 4.2.2 touchwiz even if other apps or features would not work, I just the love the S4's Rom, that's all.

We will not get 4.2.2 touchwiz I promise you. Its unlikely you will see half of the features you want actually and its likely going to be due to the fact we aren't on 4.2.2.

Which GAPPS version did you download and install? HERE is a newer GAPPS (6/15) that I've been using with CM10.1, you may want to give it a try.

That explains it...Before on the left you were on Samsung's touchwiz on 4.1.2 using samsung apps. Now you are on an AOSP 4.2.2 rom using aosp apps. The apps are similar but different and have different icons. The 4.2.2 AOSP rom is going to look like the Nexus.

Keep in mind that other launchers and themes allow you to change the look of the icons as well.
I tried the TW theme but I'm still missing the actual app performance/construction. From what I read, I'm one of few who actually like those better!
