i wanted to find a rom that was NOT heavily themed, but performed very well and had good battery and such, and wanted to know also if i found one, could i have the touchwiz 5 on it?
I don't know about TW5, but give The People's Rom a go.
If you desire a custom look, then either flash a compatible theme or use a 3rd party launcher and their themes.
I really like miui either ginger or ideally V4 ICS they both have a theme button you can download tons of different themes and then go with ADW or Apex launchers and Launcher 7 is fun once you tweak it a bit
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
oops, i meant not heavily themed, but miui is nice
Did you want AOSP or TouchWiz based? I suggested a TW rom based off your comment to want TW5.
If you're looking for something flexible, clean & battery life then pretty much any of the following:
Here's your list to try out.
AOSP based:
CM7 (Gingerbread)
CM9 (ICS)
AOKP (ICS)
MIUI v2.1.6 (Gingerbread)
MIUI v4.x (ICS)
TW based (Gingerbread):
The People's Rom [FC09]
Clean GB [EL30]
Cut & Paste Rom [FC09]
SleeperRom [FC09]
RandomRom Thunderhawl v5.1 [FC09]

you could be leave the nyan part off i know its your kernel but i hate when people do that, its like you try to advertise to get people to use it, and mine you nothing wrong but im sure he'll know what to choose on his own seeing how there isn't just yours.
Quite frankly and its funny coming from me but i think STOCK is honestly better than shadow and yours and Samurai's. Used to before on GB it was the other way around.
Personally I love AOKP CM9 build 39 is decent and on play store you can get quite a few like motoblur, touchwiz, and blueinfintium is a nice minimalistic that I prefer. Infintium has pink, orange, blue, black ect

You tend to have weird issues that others don't have. Shadow is the same as the default kernel except it has voodoo and more OC options.

CM7 is the best gingerbread rom out there right now IMO. Very stable, loads of options.

What do you mean it's not stock? It's wholly stock, except for the part in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings, which a lot of people hold near and dear to their hearts. Otherwise, it's the fastest and most stable Gingerbread build -- nay, ROM -- that I've ever used on my Droid Incredible, even in it's Nightly Build state.
CM7 is 'stock'. I'd say the only thing making it not stock is ADW which can be removed with some basic stuff.

I dont get why cm7 would use adw and not just the stock launcher. That bugs me. But ive always hated adw.

I agree. I just download the stock Gingerbread launcher from the market and delete ADW. Works great with CM7.
Or learn how to compile source.
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
Why does everyone automatically say well learn to do it yourself? I asked a simple question about the launcher. I figured maybe I'd be told its customizable or something.

I honestly wish for a stock gb launcher too but CM7 doesn't have that by default. Your only choice is OMGB which is you know...
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
I've been running the C7 nightlies for a while and love them - What's different in the "stock launcher" rather then ADW? I'm not trolling just curious.
Yea I run OMFGB.
You could always do what i do and just download the roms you want pieces of and pull the pieces and put them into yours. Like download cm7 and omgb and put the omgb launcher into cm7

I ran an early build of OMBG and liked it but it was not stable enough to use as a daily driver at that point - I just don't remember what the differences were between it's launcher and ADW.
I installed omfgb today and then installed adw as i prefer 5 icons in my bar. I will install cm7 #28 asap tonite as omfgb just doesnt "feel" as stable.

Swype isn't there, I just signed up for the Swype Beta and got it back...the keyboard on this version of Swype is actually preferable to stock imo
Awesome!! Thanx so much for the quick reply...
Cm will be missing alot of extras that came with our phone... but extra customization features that didn't..
Personally I like touchwiz and tw framework apps like the camera and mms app so I stick with roms based of stock.. still fast and look great..

Is this your first time using CM? It's the most barebones rom you can get, there won't be any extra software installed like on other roms. It's basically just the core files needed for the phone to operate plus some tweaks & customization options, so you'll have to manually add things like Swype and Driving mode. This is what *I* love about CM though, it's almost like a 'build your own rom' deal.
I'll stick with TW based roms, might try out MIUI. Using the stock android camera, calendar...no thanks. The TW roms are just as fast. I noticed nothing working faster running the CM7 build which is the usual want from everyone at the expense of good looking and more features(not tweaks).
I just flashed CM9 on my Nexus S, it's meh.

Well then welcome to the wonderful, addictive world of Android If you like to customize then stick with CM7. It's pretty safe to assume that development for this phone is gonna be very good. There are a lot of themes on the market, just search "CM7 theme".

If you don't want tw, wait for miui. Theme chooser sucks. Miui destroys everything as far as theme customization goes. You can mix and match parts of different themes.

Ohhhh.... Intrigued!!! I like the sounds of that!
Before I rooted the damn phone I had Ginger Bread on it, and quite frankly I enjoyed looking at the notification bar and seeing how basic it was. To me the whole concept of the stock theme was pretty sweet because it was just simple. I'm sure there's a theme that looks like this but I haven't been able to find one, so I decided to post here hoping for a few links from the people who know what I'm talking about. If you can't tell by reading this I am a n00b so id appreciate it if you guys weren't dicks about this... thanks!

??? Why would you want a crappy theme? Just flash cm7 and find cm7 themes on the market. There is one called cm7 galaxy s theme that is like our froyo. If you attempted at grammar and didn't swear I could probably help better. I don't even know what version/rom your phone is on...
1. What rom are you on
2. What is your android version (2.2/2.3/4.0)
3. What theme do you want (2.2/2.3)
4. If you are on gingerbread, just flash cleangb or stockish rom.

Yes, the hue and tint is very off. But I fixed it and put my magic to the works and got it working! All I did was open the zip on my pc and change the kernels lol but its fixed now. I'm on Clean GB 1.1.2 and is fitting me well. My only complain is that the notification bar is black, I'm not a themer do I don't know if that's the framework.apk or not so I'll just let it be until a theme I like is released!

I've been on ICS roms with this phone for some time now, but when I first rooted my phone and exclusively stuck to GB roms until I was a little more comfortable with everything, my favorite was Blazer 4.0 and I also recall it having quite a few themes out there to choose from.

JellyBam includes the Touchwiz launcher and it is based off of CM10/AOKP. You won't get all of the stock features but if you're only needing the launcher you could try that one out.
