Just a quick question, do yall think it's possible to get the ICS UI from the Galaxy Nexus on our phone, cause i really don't like the touch wiz version of ICS, i'll deal with it if it's not possible, but just hope'n that it is

Sense 3 is great and all.. but I miss a stock android that I can fully customize myself (hello cyanogen). I haven't seen any stock roms around, what am I missing?
I don't get it. Do you have the epic 4g touch?

Ok, so I am a sammy freak, been leeching the boards for a while now, but just signed up in the past day, but throughout all of my research and queries I am unable to find a rom that is Tablet UI based on Touchwiz but could incorporate the Paranoid Android DPI density solution.
I know of the Hydra Rom, but not sure if the above can be added to it....
SO...., My real question is there anyone/anyway to compile something of this sort with ICS framework?
I really just want to get the TW SII or SIII music player, mms on a tablet, but AOKP/AOSP and CM9 do not support.
If I am crazy just say so!
Just wondering if it was possible to port the SGS3 touchwiz jelly bean rom to the SGS2? I really like
Jelly Bean but I also like Touchwiz.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I really enjoy touchwiz, some of the white background on your contacts and menu I have saw on the s3/s4 are pretty cool. and to be honest I cant stand Stock Android. I loved Gingerbread but once the ICS upgrade came out and they got rid of some features that I enjoyed I have been using touchwiz ever sense. I messed around with the one of the many 4.3 roms and the whole PIE thing drove me insane plust it was just very very slugish and plus no facebook sync with contacts and calander without installing hacksyc...
Realistically the 4.1.2tw ROM on the s2 and s3 are the same, besides multi window, and a few other minor differences, so to port it would be almost impossible, as hardware issues won't allow a "port" the closest u will get is Embryo ROM by mohan, I reccomend it highly, very stable, very fast touchwiz ROM with all the s3 goodies

I thought I was the only one who hated stock android, it seems boring to me, I do like the blue colors though.
Does anyone know what touchwiz version does Jedi mind trick XI uses? I couldn't find it anywhere in their release notes...
I don't know if this will help you but I believe it's actually the same TW that originally came with our device but with the launcher stripped and replaced with the galaxy s3 launcher.. So to answer your question I believe it's TW 4.0
I have been running CM7 for a while and I am fairly happy with it. I seem to like the basic function over what I have see on other people's phones with either ICS or JB. So I want to ask what advantages or better functions would make me want to upgrade? Maybe better device support? I do notice that my wifi drops off a lot but I also have friend's with the SIII stock and they have the same issue.

>Photosphere
>Gesture keyboard
>Lock screen widgets
These are just the main bullet points IMO there is no reason to stick with an old outdated OS. I used CM7 until ICS came out officially for our device. CM7 is based off GB which first came out in 2010! If you're wary of custom roms at least update officially and enjoy the most of android.
If your into flashing roms there are many stable ones running Google Now on ICS 4.0.4 if you are just looking for updated google apps. JB isn't officially out for out phones yet so the devs have done a good job of porting roms so we can use JB if you want to. I would check the threads on JB roms and decide which is best for you.
Thanks for help
Thanks for the insight. I am still on the fence but it is not like I can't revert after playing a bit, isn't that was a nand backup is for?
