I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 recently updated to 2.3.6 Gingerbread. I really didn't like the TouchWiz 4.0, so I immediately switched to SuperNexus 2.0 ROM. No doubt the ROM was good and stable, but it wasn't really fun to use. Then after I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (My primary phone is an HTC One), I really loved the TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0 which added a bit of spice in Android 4.2.2. Now, my question is can we port the ROM to Samsung Galaxy S i9000?
*I have already used Tiger Jelly-Bean and Cyber SGS-IV which didn't give the original look and feel of the S4. I have also used various launchers, which looked FAKE
Is there a AOSP-Touchwiz hybrid rom for the T-Mobile Note 3? I love the full functionality that comes with Touchwiz as I have the Galaxy Gear but but prefer the AOSP interface.

I'm looking for the exact same thing. I love Samsung exclusive features like MHL/HDMI output, but prefer AOSP features from PacMan ROM.
I just wish they ported Sammy features for AOSP.
Hello,
today I got a new Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos).
Since today I always had a Galaxy S2 with Cyanogenmod installed. I never ever used the original Samsung ROM.
Sadly there is no Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S7.
I am looking for a ROM with these features:
- as much AOSP/Cyanogenmod like as possible, I don't need touchwiz, I'm fine with e.g. NovaLauncher (*but I heard there are battery drain issues on S7??*)
- no preinstalled apps, no google play store, a really "clean" android (of course camera, sensors etc should work)
- possibility to encrypt device, root, xprivacy
- a nice dark theme
1) Is there a ROM that suits my needs?
2) Or should I take the newest official ROM and debloat it with the tutorials here on the board.
Thank you for your suggestions! There are so many ROMs here, it is hard to choose.

1: No. There are no AOSP/CM roms for the S7 due to lack of sources for the kernel. The best you can do is to run some "custom" touchwiz rom where most samsung apps (such as dialer, contacts, clock etc) have been removed and replaced with their google counterparts, but in the end of the day, it's still a touchwiz rom.
2: Since the last phone you owned was the S2, I suggest you give stock touchwiz a real chance, a lot has changed since the S2 stock days so who knows, you might get used to it. The Android 7.0 Beta rom is quite good looking and quite fast, not stock android fast but still pretty good. Give it a shot and see how you feel about it.
Recently got the Exynos Galaxy S7.
As a stock android user, I found touchwiz a bit over kill for me, and I can't even imagine myself using the heavily customized rom.
I was wondering if there is a frequently updated light mod TW rom that I can use on daily basis?
Hi. I have a Canadian Galaxy S7 (SM-G930W8) and I'm looking for recommendations on the best and most stable custom roms running Android Pie, or Oreo. Preferably Pie.
I'd also prefer roms that are based on Samsung's software as I'm not a big fan of AOSP based roms, like LineageOS for example.
I've heard of BlackDiamond and that seems like a great rom and I'd love to install it but apparently it has issues with Gear connection so I can't. I have a Gear S3 that I use everyday so functioning Gear connectivity is a must.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
