I see a lot of ICS themes and they are awesome man. But I do miss the ole AOSP GB look and feel. I have tried my best to make my own but honestly I don't have the time I wish I did to dedicate to it right now. If anyone feels up to it and wants to make one that would work with the latest ROMs I would be ever grateful.
Pretty much what I would like to see is a Vanilla GB style Theme. But anything AOSPish would be awesome. Thanks in advance to anyone that considers this.
Download latest blazer and instal gb launcher or go flash cm7 from the other site everything but GPS works

Appreciate the suggestions. I'm not ready to sacrifice functionality for true AOSP yet on this phone. I have the aosp launcher running on Calks and have modded most of the apks to have the aosp icons. What I'm looking for is like a aosp dialer and true aosp mms.apks and such. Once CM9 is released I will go towards true aosp roms. But not until. I did the whole aosp flashfest on my GS1 and not ready to do that yet. Plus the CM7 build you speak of wiped my SD card twice soso it still has some little bugs.
thought
have you tried the "clean" overlay from sprint ID?
Try this rom out. Looks like its picking up with some.

Yeah I was hoping that ROM would get updated and it did. I was so Happy to see it. Running it right now with a few personal Mods and loving it. Also I have never messed with sprint ID so not sure what that is. I will have to look into it.

I love the Elite HD themes. Is there one that would work with the cm7?
sadly, I doubt it, since his roms are sense based. and I would guess that most cm7 themers don't use sense roms, none of them are going to be much interested...
might be wrong though.
Sent from my calculator watch.
he did make one for miui which is aosp so I'll hold out for a maybe I really love my setup but i'm a flashing junky.. gotta keep trying something new for some reason lol. .
I think the title says it all....
I'm probably going to flash an ICS rom once they are out of Alpha.....
But for now.. thinking about moving over to plain jane Android... probably using ADW EX to theme it out like ICS (since ADW has the nice folder action)....
So people's opinion.. best NON SENSE Rom at the moment?
Latest Cyan? Bugless? The Kang'd one in the development thread? Another I don't know about?
Chime in... all opinions welcome (I would like to know "why" you are stating what you are though)...
p.s. no flaming others on this please It's purely opinions.. everyone is entitled...
p.s.s. any kernel advice is welcome as well
Seriously use Evervolv ICS rom preview 5. I am using it as my daily driver. I posted links to the rom, exchange.apk fix and gapps on rootzwiki. As I am not allowed to post links on xda at the moment you would have to go to rootzwiki.
What's not working on it? I take pics of my niece all the time (she's 4) so I need a working camera... don't care about video though....
Also I use this for navigation.... and part of where I drive is kinda crappy service.. so I have been using Navigon for those areas and the maps are on the SD card...
Also full bluetooth needed... as my car stereo has bluetooth and a mic behind the steering wheel....
edit: just tried.. and camera doesn't do panoramic.. only 4:3.... don't really care about video.. but want the other... so original question still exists.
Best NON SENSE Rom? Anyone?
I use Inc-Deck its a modified CM7, I think it feels a little less "fat" than cm7.
Bugless is also a stout option, either or.
Edit: To go back a ways OMGB is a solid rom, it was my daily for at least 2 months straight.
Got a link to Inc-Deck? I may be blind but I'm not seeing it in the development section... Mostly I want to get used to stock before a ICS build is ready for primetime...

It's tweaked just enough to make it feel a bit smoother than cm7 and it comes with the stock launcher. Also I'm not too sure about the bluetooth on this, I never use it but I haven't seen anyone complain about it.
Happy Flashing!
Give MIUI a try. I recently switched after using CM for about a year and am really happy with it. I think the ROM is much better than CM, although I hated the iPhone look to the ROM but I just use GO Launcher and go back to what my CM homescreens looked like. There are a few things I miss from CM, but overall really happy with MIUI
I flash a new rom about every day but cm9 has held me for a while so that would be my current daily that i would suggest to give a try to.
I have newborn twins and don't have time to flash and try out everything like I used to. I want to flash an ICS ROM and it appears BluKuban and MIJJz ICS GOODNESS are both excellent options.
Knowing they are probably both awesome, all I really want to know is if either one, both, or neither is capable of looking like stock ICS theme (like the screenshot).
Besides that, any additional comparative info between the two (pros/cons) would be nice to know as well. THX.
Congratulations, first and foremost.
The goodness rom can look more like stock than the blu kuban. Both have the rom updater feature in the settings.
Since they updated the goodness a few days ago, a lot of the mods are missing from the updater so give them some time or get the second newest version.
The Blu Kuban is almost completely blue and black. It's too dark for me personally so I moved to the goodness.
But they are both pretty stable.
Of those two options I prefer Goodness. With that being said I'm currently running the vanilla AOSP ICS rom from times infinity and I love it. If you want a plain rom that works well check that out.
Goodness has the most views and downloads for this phone for a reason, go check it out.

Goodness v16 had a "stock theme" that could be flashed over the Goodness default theme and was about as close to stock that you could get while still enjoying the benefits of the custom ROM. As someone mentioned, the large variety of customizations available in v 16 have not yet made it to 17, but I suspect they will soon. In the mean time, the default Goodness theme is not a huge departure from stock. Just use the Updater once its loaded to remove the Extended Toggles and restore the standard ones.

AGREED nd if the mod and such are in the updater you can always use v16 which is (PACKED to the gills) until the server move is finished ...then fi25 will be PACKED sooner than ya think ...personally myself I've ran a few themes from v16 and haven't encountered any problems thus far! Currently playing with it.

What rom is running on your Sprint s3?
What made you go that way? Currently am using Freegs3 latest build. Using Ktweak
I am wondering which is best. It's been about a month since a rom from Free GS3 I am wondering if i am missing out on new features or is the rom just that damn good that updates are few and far between. I am kinda wanting to keep sbeam and svoice or i would just flash cyanogen.
Whats your guys' take on it?
I am using FreeGS3 myself and it is my favorite rom to date. Clark44 has been busy with school and said that as of 12/21 he will be able to start working on an update. In the meantime he said to check the UpdateMe app for additions in there. I use FreeGS3 because I am not big on color themed roms and just prefer a smooth rom with great battery life and some added features here and there. So my choices with that are basically FreeGS3 or Freeza's Fre3 rom (don't remember off the top of my head what exactly it is called). I have used both roms and they are both excellent.
Aokp cuz it's the best
Also using FreeGS, I've tried CM and AOKP and MIUI, keep coming back to this room for the motion features plus it just works!

Couldn't have said it better. FreeGS3 is the one. Performance, battery life and features are solid.
I'm not interested in flashy coloured ROMS with 3 breasted elves and tooted serpents, etc. Those things irritate me to no end.
freegs3 here too.. main reason was i wanted something stable, upgradable, unthemed, and it had options to NOT install tweaks i didn't want. very stable rom, battery life's great, does everything i need it to do.
Yeah I hate themed ROMs too, not to mention 95% of them look gaudy and make my eyes trickle blood.
I'm running LiquidSmooth for 2 reasons:
1. It's unimaginably smooth, like the UI is consistently at 60 FPS. The only time I ever notice slowdowns is when I scroll to the bottom of my apps from the Play Store while it's loading icons
2. I love the Nav Bar, coming from the Galaxy Nexus, and prior to that the iOS, it really changes how Android works. My last phone before I switched was the EVO 3D, before that the EVO 4G and then the Hero. The menu button was relevant then, but now it's really dumb guessing if an app has a menu or not. Even with the Nav Bar (set to 44p instead of the default 48p) it really doesn't use much of the screen. In fact makes it more comfortable for me to use one handed since I don't have to contort my thumb to the capacitive back button that is usually where my palm rests.
I like FreeGS3, but Samsung's implementation of the Nav Bar sucks, especially without the slide up for Google Now shortcut.
I questioned going back to the Nexus after a couple days with the GS3, because almost all ROMs on that are fully featured and are only without camera, MMS, etc. for a short amount of time, but LiquidSmooth has kept me for the long haul. Over the 3 years I've spent with Android, I never imagined it would be so fluid so soon. Not even CM or AOKP give me the same fluidity.
Currently on The People's Rom. Great options, almost weekly updates. Performance and battery life are great. (Used to run TPR on my OG Epic as well). The Nexus nav bar can be added to most roms by adding a line to the build prop.
I'm running FreeGS3 also. I've tried many of the other roms but keep coming back to it. I don't like the themed roms either, I prefer to just use morphology to change the things I want.

Exactly this, but I'm running Freeza's DeoDeoxed stock ROM. Love everything about TW..!
I run Odex Blue because I like TW functionality and the color blue and inverted apps. Also, steve is very responsive and has some great assistance that allows for fun options on an Odexed Rom.
I've been using the stock rom, I love things that AOKP can do (If you hate touchwiz and Samsung, I would go with AOKP) like emoji and stuff, but I find myself coming back to touchwiz because I like the features they did. They got it right for me so I stuck with it.

I'm running ParanoidAndroid. I love the ability to set custom dpi for each individual application... But unfortunately the developer just recently halted development... So I'm in the market for a new ROM, might check out PAC-man rom once it's stable.
I'm running Sacs23 new rom. Its light and fast. Plus he is also working on multi view option. Its new so I haven't test battery life yet but seems to be doing good so far.

Running Team Nocturnal's "Goodness" JB rom.
Using it because there are awesome devs (themers, coders, etc) working together every day on it so updates come regularly. It is stable, fast, smooth, has great battery, and the colors added are just right. It has options galore due to the built in updater so everything from lockscreen to notification bar can be changed. It integrates with Rom Toolbox as well. Has all the compatible 4.2 apps and latest features so it never feels like your phone is being left behind. Support in the thread is great as well due to the dedication of the devs/contributors to this rom.
Has anyone found a way to get the touchwhiz featurs on an aosp rom such as cyanogen. I would love cyanogen but i like sbeam alot
I switch ROMs daily (I need my fix...)
Different TW rom on weekdays, and asop on weekends :3

Been using clarks up until 2 weeks ago. Started using jellybombed then. As of 2days go its tpr. Now im in love with the peoples rom.
Its got a stock feel like clarks rom and it uses aroma installer so you can customize it the way you want it.
The biggest difference is the updates. You gotta stay on top. So kenny is da man right now.
I am using CM10 ROM stable. It has run pretty smooth thus far!
Hey guys, sorry to noob it up.
I'm currently on an OG Epic running toadlife's final build of CleanGB. I'm due for an upgrade, and I'm considering the S3. It's been a while since I've tinkered with my phone because it runs so well, and I enjoy Toad's approach as it aligns well with how I think my phone should look and function. My ideal feature set is:
- Touchwiz JB based, because it's already optimized for the hardware. In my limited experience, ROMs based on the manufacturer source seem to have longer battery life, better stability, and a full feature set that already works. Things like:
- Stock camera (yes, with the silent mod)
- Sprint VVM
- Hotspot
- Customizable toggles.
-Minimal or no theming. Theming seems to be the quickest way to make the phone feel tacky and fragmented. I love the look of stock AOSP ICS and JB, the same way I enjoy a minimalist Gingerbread. Things like the AOSP dialer, SMS, lockscreen, keyboard, and icons seem to pull it together and make it look excellent.
- Blacked out or inverted apps like AOSP SMS, Gmail, Youtube, etc... looks cool, doesn't require any crazy theming, and saves some juice on that screen.
I was bummed to find out that the Foxhound ROM is only built for the international version, as I think it fits the bill of what I'd be looking for. Can anyone recommend a ROM based on these criteria? And yes, I know I don't have much to contribute as an end-user. I still think this community's a great place to hang out and get the most use out of these phones. Thanks guys.
I like blazer Rom

Can't go wrong with either freeza's fre3 or clark44's FreeGS3 ROM.
From what I have seen what you want does not exist. The closest is either run CM10.1 (pretty stable feels like a daily rom until you find a bug) or run one of the stock based roms with ICS theme but it doesnt feel very complete IMO.
I have been looking for the same thing you are. I even found the foxhound rom today but like you said its not on US versions.

Your coming from the OG epic... So why not try The Peoples Rom.. Several launcher choices (Aroma installer) overall can have it how you want it. There is also a full out Edition.. (The Fat Ass Cartmen edition By Naddict) Either i recommend.. Specially if your familiar with Kennyglass123's OG epic work. Same great taste, Less Filling! Best thing you can do, is cruise through the threads see if something gets your attention. And custimization on those roms above.. Visit Morphology Thread by Romnpit.
