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?

I just looked on xda n I read that the galaxy w is the same as exhibit 2.but I found a over clock kernal on xda for the galaxy w ——---------------------------------------------------—-So I am here to present upon thee my newest and likely last ROM for the Galaxy W: The Kezra Value Pack!
So what's new in this ROM compared to Kezra V4?
Well first off it's based off of the newest EUR firmware by Samsung, the infamous Value Pack that adds Face Unlock among other features to our phone (if you want a full changelist, look it up, Google is your friend). As per usual in a custom ROM, this one is rooted, deodexed, busybox'd and all that pretty stuff.
The custom Kernel present in this ROM is Cowithgun's latest modification of the Arco68 kernel for our phones. It adds tons of neat features, among the biggest on them being the ability to overclock your phone up to 1800MHz should you want to.
I can assure you the ROM is quite stable and should work without a hitch.
As for differences with Kezra V4 in terms of the applications inside here's the quick rundown:
1. I have dropped my arrogance and included most apps that people want (except for Polaris Office) and use. If you don't want a certain app, feel free to use Titanium Backup to remove it. 2. This ROM was shaped to be as close a copy of Cow's V7 ROM except that I have put an emphasis on the Gaming/Social aspect and left the Game and Social hubs from the TouchWiz Framework (CowPanel and Zeam are also included). 3. Kept the Samsung boot animation and sound because I think it's prettier that way

Is it possible to make this work on the exhibit 2

Is this even possible ? to port the entire rom? I actually like touchwiz and love my skyrocket! The touchwiz UX and entire UI Experience is so much better is this even possible ?
Ux has been ported but the entire list of apps and everything no

Thats what i needed to know ... all of the UX Launchers ive used so far have been full of FC's and cannot use. Is there one in particular that is stable that i can use on stock TW ICS?
I'm looking for a touchwiz stock based marshmallow rom for the s5. Preferably a port from the s7. I like Samsung's features such as camera mods, launcher themes etc. And also does the fingerprint scanner work with the rom?
Thanks
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.
My phone is approaching it's 1 year warranty period, and I'm ready to root the device, trip my Knox, and unleash the beast.
I'm looking for a lightweight ROM alternative for the stock rom. I love the ROM, but I can also live without the extra features as I used to own a Nexus device. Either the lightest Google ROM or lightest TouchWiz made for the S7.
The main reason for this is that I used to own a Nexus which was capable of running 1GB RAM idle with the app's that I use. However, on the S7, I found that my phone is using double the resources. I want there to be a lot of power reserve just in case I run power intensive apps and save battery. I also want the ROM as compatible to the S7 (S7 ROM modified, not a Pixel ROM altered to work for an S7) as I don't want to run into compatibility issues in the longer run (just bring paranoid). What's a recommended ROM?
Hydra ROM is one of my faviroute tw roms, it gives you the edge screen functionality and has some small customisations in the rom control, it has great ram management, performance and battery life. You could check out shark jungle's review on it on yt I found that helpful
