[Q] Completely TouchWiz-free rom needed

Hi guys, I'm looking for a completely TouchWiz-free ROM to use as a base for this project: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25192553#post25192553
All credit and thanks will be given in Post 2. I'm looking for as bare-bones and AOSP as possible. I'm going to be looking around in the forums as well, but I'm posting this question here to see if anybody has suggestions for what ones they prefer. As a background, my previous phone was a Nexus S 4G with SlimICS running on it. I want that, but on my Skyrocket.

Uhhh, what about Eugene's CM7 Kang?

^^^^^^ - THAT.
For our Hercules, Eugene's CM7 is the best you're gonna get.

IMHO CM7 is the best ROM for T989 and its Touch-wiz free
Cant wait for Cm9.

[Q] Pure Google ICS without Touchwiz?

I know there is one thread labeled it is the only official ICS thread, but I have a slightly different question...
My vibrant broke, and there was literally a ton of ICS roms for Vibrant... now with the Galaxy S2 I see plenty of ICS roms, but they all seem to have some kind of touchwiz basis... I hate touchwiz with a passion. I love the way google sets the phone up like on the Nexus...
Are there any roms that are just lightweight pure and simple ICS roms for the SII?
I'd love any responces and i'm not trying to troll i've searched a bit with no results.
Thank you anyone.

Also i know about the APEX launcher I was just wondering if there is something more direct.

CM9 and AOKP will both give you a pretty stock or more than stock experience.
Miui is a whole different ball game but not touchwiz

The cm or aokp roms, but they aren't fully functional.

Slightly off topic but why get SII when you can get the nexus? Sounds like you would love that phone more... and cheaper too.
Anyways, AKOP/CM9 is probably your best bet when dev gets really rolling on it with an official source release.

Because 4g.

Waiting for source.

This. Ppl that have had the s2 since long before you are also sick of touchwiz but there is nothing the devs can do to remove it completely till we get source

Questions go in the Q&A section

Coming from the Vibrant I had a pure google ICS rom and it was fully functional...
CM9/AOKP which would you guys pick. CM9 still in the alpha stages and really buggy? I would just like something stable..

[Q] Pure ICS experience?

I just got my t989 and was looking for a good, stable rom and was looking for some advice from you guys.
What I want to know is if the F1 Galaxy Nexus rom works for our t989 models? If not, is there another similar rom that gives me a stock ICS experience that is:
-really stable (all functions work and virtually no freezing/echo/glitches)
-Speedy
-AMAZING battery life
Thanks in advance for your help.

Galaxy nexus roms and t989 roms are not interchangeable. Your best bet for an aosp look would be just to use apex launcher (for example) to theme it out nicely. Basically since ics and source was just released officially, ics development has just started to really pick up steam. I suggest Darkside evolution 3 v4. It has given me about 30-50% more battery life than stock and the dev is always on his A game and improving his roms.

Thanks for the input. I'll check out the Darkside rom and see if I like it.
The F1 galaxy nexus rom is a Galaxy S 2 rom that mimics the google ICS experience found on the galaxy nexus. it works for the i9100 and AT&T i777 galaxy s 2 but I was wondering if it also worked for the t989?

You might also check out AOKP or CM9 as they have finally fixed the call audio/echo underwater mic issues.

No I won't work they are both gs2 but very different hardware....if you want a true vanilla experience then I would go with AOKP...I am on darkside and love it but its a touchwiz based rom and is very different than stock vanilla ROMs

Yea, I'm trying to get away from touchwiz. I checked out some pics, videos, and comments on aokp and darkside, I think aokp looks more like what I am looking for.
Thanks guys.

Now there is an aosp theme for the darkside rom that looks nice mix it with nova or apex launcher and your aosp

Darkside evolution 3 v4 is exellente.

i suggest using DARKSIDE ROM v4
you get AMAZING battery life as well as fast, speedy performance.
if you want a FULL vanilla ICS experience download "APEX LAUNCHER".
your going to love it. It supports themes from other launchers such as go launcher, adw ex launcher, and others.

Lack of support?

So here's my question... My girl has an epic 4G touch with Sprint... I have a galaxy note rooted with liquid smooth on straight Talk. Now as far as I'm concerned the liquid smooth jelly bean rom is dam near perfect.. Everything works and is just what I need. However when I go to the epic 4G touch forums and try to get her a nice jelly bean rom they are light years behind... There still claiming gb roms are king.. And any jelly roms are still in alpha with a lot missing...
Epic 4G has been out a while and has a lot of support but how is it that the note has a fully loaded custom jb rom that is smooth and fast as silk but the epic roms are so far behind

You should make one.

Ummm no I shouldn't.. I'm not taking anything away from the devs I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or if the support for the device has jumped ship

JB roms run pretty damn good for not having source. I'm using PA2.1 and everything is working just fine. Since its using sbrissen and phantomphreaks vendor trees, by extension any rom based on those same vendor trees(aosp, cm10, aokp, etc) should all be just as good. Some people have issues with ICS and JB but a lot don't. You'll need to read thru the threads and pick one you want to try and see for yourself, just make sure you follow the install instructions from the OP or you could perma-brick the device.
We are legion, for we are many.

the cm9 rom rocks imho. its actively developed as well. cm10 is another option but cm9 is more stable for now.

Can you use skyrocket aosp roms on the hercules?

Hello everyone I was just wondering if you can use skyrocket aosp roms on the hercules. I know that you can use TW skyrocket roms but I never really heard anything about the aosp roms. So if anyone has tried it before and knows the answer please let me know. I've been having a very strange bug ever since 4.2.2 roms came out (strangely not on 4.2.1 though o.o) and I just wanted to check if still happens on skyrocket roms too.

Yes...just flash the skyrocket ROM with an aosp hercules kernel...maybe uber or something.
