ok ive had my evo since september the phone was practiclay disco'd out the door according to the rep in the store i went in with some issues with the wifi and lte connectivity and they said they would just replace it with a gs3 since there is a 2-3 week waiting list for refurbished evo ltes
im just wondering what apps and launchers are going to get me a sense like experience since almost all of my last 5 phones have been htc
MOAR ROM is great. Won't give you the sense experience your looking for but will give you great battery life smoothness and you can morph the looks pretty much any way you like. Welcome to the gs3 forums, great people here.

Well, I know that there are a lot of devs working on a Sense port. So keep your eyes on the Dev section, and to be honest, Touchwiz grows on you after a while

I would consider Goodness ROM with the sense theme and lockscreen. Probably about as close as you'll get until someone completes a port.
Otherwise, run any of the great kernels out (I love MOAR), switch to the preinstalled sense lockscreen and use morphology options to get a more sense-like look.
I agree with others. I came from an Evo LTE and touchwiz is actually pretty slick overall. Only thing I miss from the evo is the stock messaging app and live wallpaper of weather. Otherwise, I am pretty sure I like the GS3 more in every other way.
Goodness is one of my personal favorites.

Just use Nova prime and just move on from sense.

You can get a really close to Sense experience using GoLauncher, and any number of Sense Themes that are available. This includes the widgets. You can easily complete the look with several different Sense Lockscreens. But that being said, Touch Wiz does grow on you really quick. This from an admitted HTC fan . The SGS3 has made me a Samsung Fan . Big time.
This is now a thread delegated to ROM owners/fans recommending their own ROM
Good job.
lol dont mind on my evo i was running meanrom until lte and wifi issues, that i thought were related to the rom but not, so i went back to stock and now im waiting on them to get my phone in stock hopefully today or monday
I was a pretty big HTC fan, until the locked boot loader on the 3D. If you're still getting the S3 as a replacement, I think you'll be happy. As far as finding a ROM you like, many have been suggested, flash them all! The EVO LTE has a locked boot, right? Plug it in, fastboot, flash... That whole deal? Not on this one, it is the way it should be. Hope you enjoy it.
I agree, I switched from HTC to the galaxy s3. Incredibly easy to root, especially compared to htc. I'm pretty happy with the s3.

I am also a huge fan of HTC too, but I do not agree fully. I love my s3 and its stock layout is okay, but HTC is still dominate with sense to me. Touchwiz hasn't really grown on me. Its nice, I just wish the icons weren't so.. I dunno. Just not the best look.

I have been HTC for years. Bricked my evo and asked if they could replace it with gs3. They did. So far pretty good. Touch wiz does grow on you

I've been a major HTC for a past few years or so. The LTE issues were device related. Not the ROMs, just like u said . Hell, even Sprint and HTC announced it themselves at the very beginning lol. I gave up my EVO and Team Venom to get the GS3. Can happily say I don't regret it. I haven't contributed very much since then, but we got a ton of awesome Devs here.

I actually prefer TW to Sense, and I was a huge supporter of HTC, last week my EVO lte screen started acting whack, returned it to BB and since they didnt have any EVO's left they gave me a GSIII to replace it and I couldnt be happier! I was kinda sour on Sammy after my experience with my Epic Touch, but I gotta say they knocked it clear outta the park with the GSIII :good: and rooting HTC devices is a pain, the Samsung devices are soooooo easy
I agree with the above. The epic pissed me off and loved my og evo; but locked bootloaders are not my cup of tea and I enjoy freedom that samsung easily made for us

got my gs3 today got it rooted in less than 10 min most of that download time lol
man im loving this phone it is a lot smoother than my evo lte
And you don't have to make your phone S-Off
I did go through sense denial. But eventually I downloaded apex (or nova) launcher and that made it go away.Now if i can just get my recent buttons icon back and switch the back and menu button...
yeah i keep hitting the menu button trying to go home lol

LOL I used to do that too when I switched from the Evo lte to the sgs3. I kinda actually miss the evo though although the galaxy gets way better reception.
Hi all. I have a bootanimation request that I would like for someone to make for me please. I used to have an awesome one several years ago for my HTC Evo, but I highly doubt it will work on my i747, it would probably looked washed out anyways. So, what I'm looking for is an Auburn Tigers bootanimation with my name on it. The one that I used to have had a navy blue background with the interlocking AU logo and it had a bunch of random letters floating around and the letters eventually spun into place to show, "Yarbrough's EVO 4G". So, I would like something along those lines but say, "War Damn Eagle" with "Yarbrough's Galaxy SIII" underneath that. Is that too much to ask? Lol. Thanks all and I look forward to hearing/working with you.
I can see threads about peoples homescreen and some wallpapers etc but I havent noticed a thread with live wallpapers. Just curious if anyone has cool ones to share out? not sure how battery life will be as Ive never used one but I do remember a fish tank one that wasnt bad from somewhere
I have not used a live since Evo 4g

Wallpapers in Galaxy Theme store are more for the front screen
where can we get more Wallpapers for the inner screen ?
Wallcraft app is good
If you like live wallpapers, this has been my favourite for months now (on my old S20+):
Mod edit: paid apps not allowed as per xda rules
Highly customisable, can be as subtle or in-your-face as you want. Works well and looks gorgeous on my Fold3, too!

Had mine for five days now - still blown away by it. Most exciting phone I've had in a very long time!
Front display just black and folded I have Venom
I've made a quite a few up for myself.... this is the one I'm using at the minute
"Dynamic lock screen" under wallpapers has some very good pictures under the landscapes and animals categories.
Been a long time since I was here but trying to find a good live wallpaper has proven difficult. If anyone remembers the old HTC Weather app that would display the current weather as a live wallpaper (and it was really nice too), are there any similar ones for the Fold 3? Google searches tend to show some decent ones but none compatible with the Fold 3 that look decent (or that I trust for that matter). Thus, I am coming here.

I remember! Your name looks familiar from years ago... EVO days.
Maybe try "Go Weather Live Wallpaper"
HTC used to kill it with those!

Ha!
It has been a very long time. Yea, when they basically killed the ability to put our own bootloader on Samsung devices, I just sort of drifted away and dealt with it.
Thank you! Yea, I loved those live wallpapers. So well done and whatever weather service they used was usually pretty accurate. Wish I had the skills to port one of those over. Bet it would easily make some cash from those of us who remember how good it was. /grin
Just adding a few more I've been using....
As for the Live wallpapers, I've downloaded one of the Live Super Wallpapers that the latest Xiaomi phones have and they look ok on this screen, you can get them here
