Hello. I recently got brave enough to root my Verizon S3. I used Casual and it worked fantastic. Now, I'm looking to run a custom ROM. I tried a ton of different ROMs on my old Captivate, my wife's old Infuse, my Galaxy Pad 10.1, and Asus Transformer Infinity. So one thing I know is that I don't like AOSP. I want to stay with Touchwiz.
I've been browsing the development forums looking at ROMs. For some ROMs it's easy to tell if it's AOSP or Touchwiz. For others, not such much. So I was wondering if there was a list of Touchwiz based ROMs, or if maybe one could be created?
Just off the top of my head:
Bonestock
Jellybeans
Hyperdrive
MOAR
There are many others but the original post in each thread will indicate if it is or not. Look for 4.1.2, or the build number, ie. MF1.

It will have be created it wouldn't take you only have to list the roms with mb1/mf1 firmware as its base.

Just looking for some advice from anyone feeling well versed on the topic...
Looking to get a tablet... Wondering what tablet would be the best for customization with Roms, Themes, root user only apps... Amy suggestions?
Anyone out there SUPER happy with their specific tablet type (and setup? Rom, theme?)

I have the same question. I'm debating between the excite, iconia, and tf300. Or is there another I should be considering?
Yea the transformer tablets have a lot of support. The easiest thing to do would be look up various tablets and then search there respective forums to see how much development they have

Info
I have a Xoom, but I think The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.2 (Newest one incase the number is wrong) would be good, since it is new, people will be developing.
I'm in the market for an android tablet as well but I see most of the tablet forums are dead or have 1 or 2 roms with action. Is there one in particular that stands out from the rest when it comes to development, roms, mods, and overall features?
My vote is for the Nexus 10. Some great roms and themes are out with more on the way.

I recently switched over from the Galaxy Nexus to the Galaxy S3. As a whole I love this phone, however I was a big fan of the pure Android appearence of the Nexus, I'm not a huge fan of Touchwiz.
I have no experience with rooting a device, installing roms, and all that stuff, but would like to get my S3 to look like my old Nexus. I read through the thread below, and my question is, will that help me achieve what I want?

This may be a stupid question, so excuse my ignorance, and thanks in advance!
havent rooted in 6+ months but that looks to be what youd need.
there is a rom in the original development section that is called "pure google" that you can try! theres a few AOSP roms also.
good luck!
Following that guide will give you a rooted jelly bean stock TOUCHWIZ rom.
Most of the ROMs in android development use Touch wiz.
So here are your options.
1. ( what I would do if i were you.)
Find a launcher on Google play which has features you like. Most these launchers will give you the look of a pure Google experience.
2. Root the device and follow the method you posted.
Install one of the ROMs that looks appealing to you in the Original android development thread.
HOWEVER
If you follow the path of number two, do your research on these ROMs
some do not work perfectly but mainly you can lose your IMEI and put you in roaming.
But don't let me scare you. Many many many people hate touch wiz and CM10.1
Runs perfect for them.
Give it a shot

The reason for purchasing this phone was the mhl option. Was not really thinking that this option was not something available in non touch wiz based ROM's... My I337M is Rogers branded (bootloader unlocked), rooted and I am using TWRP.
Was wanting suggestions on TW based ROM's compatible with Canadian devices with working mhl. Honestly I hate touch wiz... It just feels too... Non Android???
Any one else out there in a simaler situation wanna chime in? Which TW rom are Canadians using and why kinda thing?

What rom and why is too close to the "Best Rom" topic. Users are encouraged to read, learn, and try roms based on their personal needs and wants.

Good Day,
Look for a Beans 21 ROM for my Note tab, currently using it on my Note II phone, just wondering what the most well rounded ROM is for Note 10.1 that keep SPEN functionality. The only reason I am using this tablet is for when I am on the road I can have customer sign tab if I do not have a printed work order, just would like to ROM up to make it less commercial feeling.
Thanks for any and all recommendations!

Good luck getting an answer. I asked in the Q&A what ppls fav AOSP and stock (debloated) ROMs were and a MOD gave a sarcastic answer about try them all out and whichever one you like best then closed my thread. Many of the XDA MODs are flat out not helpful and are jerks to boot. I'm about to try PAC man 4.3 nightly which is part AOKP, part CM, and part Carbon (I've heard great things about Carbon).. Will let u know how it works when I get it flashed...

I have rooted and tried a few ROM's but I always go back to stock, but........ Revolution HD ROM was my favorite custom ROM. Just make sure you read special notes before you install any ROM because Revolution HD needs you to have "High On Android" Custom recovery to successfully install.
Have you looked at this web page that has video reviews of about 10 ROM's for the Galaxy Note 10.1, you should check it out.
In the end you will have to try a few to see if you like one over the other.

Has anyone tried running both Sense and the GPE ROM for any length of time? Any deal breakers with the GPE ROM. I have read through most of the forum over there, but I'm not allowed to post in development forums so I wanted to see if anyone could provide any feedback on the GPE ROM. I used to have the Thunderbolt but grew sour of Sense after a while. Now I'm pretty much over any manufacturer UIs like Blur, TouchWiz, Sense, etc. I'm looking for the pure android experience I get with my Nexus 7, but Nexus isn't available on Verizon so a GPE version of the HTC One M8 seems like about the best thing to try. Any thoughts on how this ROM works?

GPE is essentially pure AOSP. just comes with google apps etc. I personally love it, I just came over from the galaxy s4 a few days ago where I was running the GPE rom there and it was my favorite rom ive ever ran on any phone. I haven't used sense in so long im enjoying it right now, still running stock rooted s-off with xposed, but when I do start roming ill prolly just go straight to GPE.
I'll stick with sense IMO, many more features, very fast , and unparalleled functionality.

I've used the GPE rom for a few days and the sense based roms as well. In my experience it seems the GPE needs a custom kernel because there are a few things not working properly, the camera for example, and the overall experience is sluggish compared to the sense based roms. Stick with anything sense based right now, run a different launcher, and use xposed, that combo is killer and you get all the speed you can handle. Give the GPE a few more weeks and it'll probably be in full working order, at which time I'll definitely be going to it. So nice having a clean rom that was explicitly made for this phone from the manufacturer.
GPE isnt as good as some ASOP roms IMO. I typically run SlimKat, but there are many more out there.
