What is the highest version of Android I can get with the Touchwiz UI? Sorry if I missed this somewhere but I looked around and couldn't find anything.
4.1.2.. check the development section

I knew I'd get this reply. I searched "Touchwiz" in the development forum and I am not finding any touchwiz UI roms. I mean I can go stock and root, but I was hoping to find a touchwiz roms with the improvements people usually add to custom roms.
thanks for the quick reply
Well there's galaxy mod, synergy, eclipse tw, delta two, beans rom.. Those are some that I can name from the top of my head.

You are not finding them because you didn't read the ROMs threads telling EXACTLY what these ROMs are based on. Most of the ROMs on the android development section are based on Touch wiz unless posted otherwise.

There must be some kind of miscommunication going on here. The first two pages I looked through not one ROM was using the TouchWiz UI. They're all the stock android UI.
Maybe I'm not asking the right question?
I'm looking for the stock TouchWiz UI experience, but without all the bloat and other crap that comes with it stock.

I'm staring at the first page of the dev section (not original dev) and I see a minimum of eight TW rom threads. If I understand you correctly, you just want TW with as much stripped out as possible right? If so, try CleanRom Lite Edition. Seriously debloated TW JB 4.1.1 rom.
You say "stock android UI", but stock for us is stock TW. AOSP is not stock for this phone.

That was my problem! I was looking under original development. /facepalm
I was a bit confused about what kind of roms belonged where, even after reading the stickied thread in orig dev. But I understand now! :silly:
So thanks for the help.

Haha glad everyone could help! Basically, OG development is for those who built from source or developed something truly unique. Development is for the items that do not fit into that category. Typically all kernels and most AOSP roms will go into the OG dev section whereas mods, guides, and TW roms go into the dev section.

Hi there,
I just got the Rogers S2 LTE for my wife. I rooted the phone and am looking to install a Non-Touchwiz ICS ROM for her. There seems to be many great ROMS for this phone but it is a little overwhelming, I've been using the HTC Desire Z and Inspire and this is my first taste of Samsung Smartphones. I'm currently using Ice Cold Sandwich AOKP for my Inspire and really like it. Can anyone recommend something similar for the Skyrocket? I've tried the stable version of CM9 and like it but want to know what else is available. I would like something that is stable as she will be using it as a daily ROM. Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks.
Please read through the threads for the various ROMs and make your own decisions. "Best" threads like this one are not allowed because they lead to flaming and migraines.
This ^ and if uve been on xda for awhile u should know that questions should be posted in the Q&A section and not in the general section
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
My bad, I was debating which section to post it in. I will try all the different ROMS to see which works best for her. Thanks for replying.
As far as non-tw goes, aokp (I believe milestone 6 was the latest ics build) or cm9 are probably your best bets.
Not sure if you've seen it but there is a list of ICS ROMs in vincom's sticky here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785999
I would go through them for options and see what appeals if ICS is important for you. I had good results with Magic Whiz R2, which you might like as a tweaked version of CM9. You're not going to see a lot of dev effort around ICS based ROMs, most have switched focus to JB and with the new CM10 nightlies for the skyrocket even more so (you might consider that too if you like CM9).

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I will try those ROMS first.
First wrong section. Second, search, read, test them out and make that decision yourself.
Hi, just bought a GS3 Verizon. I want it rooted, and working without well known bugs.(GPS, calling, almost no bugs) I prefer 4.1 jelly bean. What ROM should I choose? The ROM based on the leaked VZW ROM?

Stock deodexed j1 touchwiz...if you look around you can manually add what mods you want. I prefer this over flashing the custom touchwiz rom variants....seems less buggy and smoother imo.

I've been having good luck with Synegy's latest. Smooth, good performance, good battery, and just enough added functionality over stock to make it work well.
I liked clean rom, jellywiz, and my current rom tasteofbeans 3.1. They all were :good:

What about using separate mods makes it less buggy?

Because you flash them 1 at a time and if you flash one and it made everything bug out you can just nandroid back. If your on a ROM with a crap load of tweaks and mods and something goes wrong you're just screwed until the dev can figure out which mod he added is causing the problems. A lot of the time the mod bugs are left alone until all the big bugs are worked out and then they track down what's causing the smaller bugs

Read up. Pick what you like and give it a try. Everyone his different taste.
BTW, I prefer SlimBean. I've been using it as my dd since Slim2.7.

So I come from the galaxy nexus world and my brother just got the s3. My question is which is better on the s3? Carrier ROMs that are customized or original android ROMs? Not asking which ROM is the best or anything like that!

Depends completely on personal preference, while TW ROMs will usually give you a bit better battery and reception, AOSP ROMs are beautiful and 4.2.1 is already out.

Just remember to backup your imei before you flash anything. Flashing AOSP roms tend to drop your imei a lot more then any touchwiz rom.

TW tends to be more stable and has the Samsung look to it. AOSP tends to be a little lighter and has of of the Google look. You get the newer features first from the AOSP roms but they are a little more buggy.
So I've been going over my options for for getting Google Now on my phone, and lamenting the lack of Jelly Bean support, and I'm finally starting to feel like maybe trying out a ROM like Cyanogenmod. Just one question: if I try this, can I go flash stock again if I don't like it?
Always..

You can.
Use Motorola's RSDLite tool and fxz file from sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Make sure you are using fxz that is same or newer version than what you have on the phone.
version 5.5 is GB
version 6.7 is ICS
SlimBean cm10.2 is really good custom ROM.

Giving my wife the White Galaxy S3 Verizon for Xmas and wanted to get recommendation which stock based ROM to install?
1. Hyperdrive
2. Jelly "Beans"
3. Axis
4. stock Verizon 4.1.2
5. other 4.1.2 based
I'm primarily interested in rock solid stability, and some of the Touchwiz experience. She might be getting the Note 3 in the future so I want her to get used to using some of Samsung apps. I have a second S3 for me and I'm testing 4.4 roms, currently installed CyanFox. So please keep discussion relevant to 4.1.2 roms and experience. I know 4.3 is out for Verizon, but I'll wait for Devs to build it into ROMs.
thanks and see visist my blog

Lol! Can't go wrong with those.
Light and clean (more optimized, less theming):
Tkrom, bonestock, cleanrom, obsessed
More heavily modified (extra mods and themes,):
Hyperdrive, goodness, axis, jellybeans, moar, wicked sensations, the people's rom
I'm maybe leaving a few out, but look them over and see what you want. If you want something simple and easy you can't go wrong with the top 4.
Some phones handle roms better than others, so if one isn't working out well then don't be afraid to try another.
I also want to point out that you have to make sure your wife's phone isn't on the 4.3 base (vrucml1). If it is, do not flash any custom roms, that bootloader is completely locked down.

I've tried every single 4.1.2 TW rom out there, and my phone seems to run the best (least "Touchwiz" lag) on Hyperdrive with faux kernel. Completely stable, too. I also like the multitude of changes you can apply. However, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all are great!
Like the above comment mentioned, make sure the OTA wasn't taken, although you probably know this.
They are all great, try them all.
As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to make this determination based on their own, individual use.
