Stock android is BORING - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there any other roms that are like Miui for my Galaxy SIII i535. I am tired of the boring android roms. It seems as there is a zillion roms out that all look entirely the same I wana see something different. Something spectacular. Miui is really nice but there is no uptodate versions for the GS3. Can anyone recommend some roms that look amazing that dont look like boring android >.>

IPhone is the way for you. Either appreciate what we have here in this community or build your own roms.
I don't see anything boring about it there's enough new added features tweaks to maximize the phone already.

Boring android? I think the new touch wiz is one of the best things to come to android sammy did a great job. I hated touch wiz on my og note but I love almost everything about my gs3 and note 10.1 for all the extras the devs here do plus what came stock. I don't get what you want android can be what every you want it. Just search around for a bit like we all do.

You're boring.

are you trolling?
theres a miui rom available in the development section

This has to be an iSheep trolling Android forums.. If not, the only way Android becoming "boring" is by spending way too much time staring at your phone, and iOS is less appealing IMO.. Touchwiz, CM10, Kangs of all different flavors, there's dozens of ROMs to chose from, far more than what's usually available for other phones.. If your looking for something totally unique, try paranoid or build one yourself.

True story. You customise an iPhone by changing the wallpaper unless you are jailbroken. On Android, you can do anything, like changing your ROMs and kernels.
One thing android is not is boring.

If messaging is the #1 excitement for you stick with iSores. Let the men handle the cool stuff. And by cool, I mean Android.

I had an iPhone, which was exactly that: boring.
Android is the opposite. We can change nearly anything we want, as well as fix stuff when we break it! :good:
It's almost a hobby, to play with our Androids. I'm not quite sure what you are looking for, since a S3 running JB is about as top shelf as you can get.

There's nothing "spectacular" about a cell phone.
Any cell phone.

Try wicked sensations! amazing look and lfully functioning.

Why insult the OP? MIUI is an amazing rom, I loved it on my previous phones. Just because it doesn't have an app drawer doesn't make it an iPhone!

I got bored playing with an iphone within the first two minutes since you cannot really do anything with it except with wallpaper and ringtones?

The OP is right. Touchwiz gets old after a while and the graphic elements look like they were designed by a third grader. All these iPhone comments are just stupid. Not liking touchwiz or being bored with it doesn't mean you want the even more boring iOS. Too many simple minds out there as it is. We don't need even more who think touchwiz is the ONLY way to go on a powerhouse android phone. We all have different tastes and some of us have no taste. Either answer the OP's question with something useful or don't respond.
I recently switched to liquidsmooth AOSP 4.2 and it's like I have a totally different phone. Faster, far more beautiful, and a much cleaner professional experience.

Will android ever be pleasing on the eye?

Sure you have various skins etc but I am talking about right at the very core, take even the messaging app as an example iOS has a beautiful glass effect, android has a horrible box, even the menus etc don't come close to Apple, Sure this is all minor but I remember looking at my first iPod touch and thinking WOW just by its appearance, i've never said that about androids appearance, now functionality is a different story completely but this is purely about aesthetics.
Each to his own, I like the non gloss, but then I use the same windows theme that's on 98.. soo.. Just me maybe

That said, MIUI should fix all of your problems.

OP, I'm not sure what you're after, but with a little work, I've gotten my Android looking much more pleasing than my jailbroken iPhone ever did. The previous suggestion of MIUI is what might be right for you. For SMS specifically, GoSMS looks fantastic, and is customizeable to boot.
That is the joy of Android. You are never stuck with what you have. You have the ability to customize everything.

It has always been like that: If you want it just working for normal use, looking sharp and staying out of trouble, take the iPhone. If you are willing to put effort in it, take Android and you can make everything just a little bit better. If you are not willing to, dont..

I love this phone!!!

I am so sick and tired of people dissing this phone. The devs are so brilliant. The roms are stable and fast. This phone is truly a beast.

Too bad miui has such an iphone look to it.
If I wanted iphone, I would've bought one.
I don't get why people have suck a huge issue with the "it looks like an iPhone" then install a custom launcher... have you tried it yet? Yes the system looks a little iphonish, I'll give you that, lol.

It's such a pet peeve when people compare MIUI to the iPhone. In no way are they even remotely the same.
The only thing that's similar about it is the fact that it has no launcher. Other than that, MIUI is more Android than anything else.
Does iOS have widgets? What about transition effects? A pull down notification tray with an array of toggles? Hundreds of themes and really nice lock screens?
The list goes on.

Looking for new & cool ROM for Inspire

Im looking for a completely New and Unique ROM for the inspire. Most of the Roms are based off of either Sense or ICS and i dont want either of those. I have also tried CM7 and MIUI and liked those but i want a new rom that looks very cool and wow's people when they see it Thanks!!

LOL!
in before thread closed.
look around a little bit, most of us are not here to brag to our friends but are here to learn. Might want to look into an iphone if youve already tried aosp,aokp,sense,miui. There isn't anything else unless it is a homebrew that isn't released. I don't think youll 'wow' too many people with such an old phone at this point. Only way to have unique is to make your own, otherwise you are just running something TONS of other people already have. Or just change your launcher, most people dont know anything beyond the frontend anyways.

Androids are no more exciting......

The hype of android is now over. It has become a PC like thing against apple. So history is repeating itself. Yes we know they now have a large app base unlike in 2011, when the big titles were only on ios. But now things are changed. We all know that android turns into a giant and this transformation was rapid. But if we see in detail its just like microsoft and intel. A new processor with more hertz and a new windows. So now is the point when all the ics and jb devices can do everything alike besides games.
Kids who own their devices to play games are justified to get an upgrade but for a lil older folks and retired teens. I find hard to get a reason to upgrade to some different size, when i am so used to of my phone. Its been 2 years that i am having my phone. There are lot of phones in the market now some even more bigger and some slightly small. But there is no other phone with 5.3 inch screen size. Which i think is the ideal and max for the pocket.
The bad thing that happened is that i cant use even a slightly small phone because it feels very small.
Anyone agreeing with my view or any criticism is appeciated.

I dare you to get a note 2 and stick it in your pocket. The device fits in my jeans and dress slacks. I should add I use the ZL extended battery. The best thing about the note 2 in my opinion is its readability. I use my phone more because of it.
After rooting, flashing a custom rom, and overclocking my LG Optimus V, it became exciting one again. :laugh:

Android is basically a version of linux, jist its UI was newwhen it first came. More compatible on a phone. But if u look close. Its just the same linux that we use on the PCs. The hard part is we all just switched to android without asking them about the security of it. There ia no official claim about how secure it is. I like apple because they ade their system atleast secure.

Has your data been stolen off your phone? Linux has built in security and you can't do anything major without root plus Jelly bean android added security features. Just as long as you don't download apps from unknown sources you are fine. Now we can see the OP is just another clueless apple troll.
Android
Well there's loads of devices out there for Android, yet there are some form factors that I'd like to see on a high end phone but doesn't come...
For instance, I wanna see a Palm Pre like QWERTY portrait slider... Also a regular QWERTY candy bar phone...
Why do the manufacturer's think that Android doesn't need a physical keyboard? The ones that do come out with physical kbs these days are poor designs and low end phones. I can think of a few people in my family who would love an Android phone with a proper physical kb.
Development have been slow for 4.3, even in Nexus community. Some ROM builders/ teams have stopped development completely. That's something bad.
androids are cool
Actually since the security issues. People are not going custom or rooted. Plus going custom is what fascinates the teens and younger folks. Its also time consuming backing up data and restoring on the newly flashed system and then going back. People now simply wait for the official update, in the past it took even a year for ics to come but now the process is quickened.
Devs are not investing time to make custom rather they are going for app development.

Well, I think it depends... In my case I love to have devices running like I want (and no like brands want). So I don't have problem with do some backups and then try and mod some Roms.
Until when??? I have been doing this for 3 years. There is a point when you are fed up of just trying to make something perfect which according to you always have room for something new. So its just a blind chase. In the end its just a lil browsing some games messaging and calls that we have to make. A little social networking too if you use your phone cam

[Q] iOS 7 Rom?

After hard search, I can't seem to find an iOS 7 rom. One that actually looks aesthetically pleasing. I know, I know. Why would you want iOS on an Android, but what's wrong with having the best of both worlds?!!?
iOS is gorgeous. It honestly is. But nothing beats the customization on Android. So if someone can help me out and show me something. I know MIUI has a iphone themed rom but I don't really care for it. I want the new iOS.
Thanks!

To each their own. Avoiding IOS is why I don't have an iPhone. I have no problem with their hardware.
Anyway, try looking for IOS7 launcher / ilauncher as apps. Maybe even a theme chooser theme if you just want the visuals. I looked real quick at some themes, but I didn't think they looked very good.
Good Luck.
Kidhudi,
Its people like you why I f*cking refuse to come on these forums. I thought I'd havemore luck after I explained I want what I want. Go be a smartass elsewhere. This is why beginners and iphone users hate android douches like you.

Yeah, I didn't find much. Most android developers stay away from it. Which kind of surprises me. You'd think with so much variety among us, wed find someone making an iOS 7 ROM. To be honest, I love the look of iOS, BUT I will never give up he customization and endless possibilities. To each his own though, right? Thanks for the reply!

Bro i was actually serious. you will probably never see a better rom than MIUI that can look like ios. and i guarantee you will never see ios7 ported to this phone. it is tough enough to get different andoid phones ported to another phone. the ONLY fool proof way to get ios7 is to buy an apple product. i wasn't trying to be a ****. sorry if you took it out of context.
thanks redndian i never saw that launcher i will give it a whirl. peace.
HI LAUNCHER and all their apps look pretty convincing.
