I just came from sprint with an evo 3d. I had a very simple ICS rom installed on it and it was great (no sense, touchwiz, bloatware). I've looked through most of the roms in the dev section and most of them are deoxd/modified stock roms with touchwiz. I really hate touchwiz and I just want the stock ICS as it was meant to be from google. Is this possible now or do I need to wait?
Check Rootzwiki, look for our forum and find AOKP.

So I'm pretty new to the SGS2 scene (but not to the Android hacking scene) and I've just recently rooted. I've been looking at a few of the ROMs, and they all sound pretty good. I'm not such a fan of developer theming and bugs. Are there any GB/ICS ROMs that would suit my needs?
NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL QUESTION: Another question that has been on my mind, but didn't want to start another thread: What is stopping us from building AOSP 2.3/4.0 ROMs? I've been a real sucker for vanilla ROMs. (Mods, let me know if this "illegal" and if I should just make a whole other thread.)
This thread is gonna be closed and your gonna be flamed to hell and back so I'll tell you nicely.
Do some reading and learning on your own and you will find out. What is best is subjective. The reason we don't have aosp has been covered millions of times and the answer is readily available.

You totally saved me. Thanks. Mods can close.
@least he posted it in the right section lol
We pretty much only have 2 bases 2.3.5 and 2.3.6
GB all the roms with current dates are pretty stable,Kernels are all pretty stable also. It just depends on what you want.Im on Malice right now you will have to go to rootz and find it Dan left his rom is fast stable and I get alot of life out of my battery 9 hrs heavy use and up to 18-20 with light use easy. Whitehawx speaks for its self, his roms are everywhere fast stable and tweaked to hell and back, M&S has nice roms with nice themes and amazing audio tweaks. TDJ's Rom is also amazing stock look fast stable tweaked to hell and back lol
Faux's, Eugene's and Mr.X "synergy" are all Kernels you can trust.
Hope this helps

the fact that we have no source for ics based off Samsung source nore do we have access to there proprietary drivers.
The fact is we have a ATT Leak that we used to build stock based ics and we have a AOSP rom that needs completion. ( working on that with Devs from the skyrocket).
I've been using the Bombardier ROM with Synergy kernel for months. Tried others and keep coming back. One of the main issues with the available ICS roms is they're based of a leaked AT&T build, so the kernel ain't quite right. Especially for things like auto rotate, which is all jacked up. I'm waiting for a t989 leak before trying ICS.

Hey guys. First post ever here. I am looking for a ROM for my wifes Epic 4g that will include a completely stock ICS, but with all the touch wiz stuff.
For example, I am running ICSense Deck V.4 (Android 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6) on my EVO 3D. There is no indication that it is a custom ROM because it has such a stock feel, but still very smooth, and everything works.
So I guess I would be looking for something similar to what the E4GT recently recieved OTA. Anyone have any ideas?

The OG Epic 4g with keyboard will never have a stock ICS the only thing you might be able to do is theme it. If you are looking for a updated FC09 stock ROM with all the bells and whistles look at TPR (The Peoples Rom). The only ICS we can offer you is CM9 or AOKP I don't think there are any others if there are I apologies.
RemICS is what I think about. It's a touchwiz themed ics. It looks pretty stock but not stock for this phone originally.

Just got my S3 last week. Already rooted it and LTE seems to work for me in Boston. Got that latest ROM pushed in. Now I am lusting after JellyBean. There is just so much choice out there. I just want to make sure I retain LTE and TouchWiz. Rest I am openminded about.
The only tw rom that is jellybean is the ported rom from leak of T-Mobile here is the link

This is tw jellybean but there r bugs in there and not stable u can search that thread and see. That would be the closet to a stable jellybean touch wiz rom. Another way is to do Aosp or cm10 and get a theme from the play store that mimicks touchwiz. For LTE u need to look at the thread I posted and see for cm10 and AOSP.

I'm actually running that leak now its not too bad in terms of stability. They worked out most of the issues with it.

If you don't want TW, Paranoid Android worked really well for me. I can't speak for it's LTE performance, as I live basically in the middle of the desert.

HTC One X PLUS was had poor wifi reception in my home. Wifi Analyzer shows 20 dBm signal drop when you hold phone in your palm. Not with S3. All good now. But miss Sense + Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I know Jelly Bean stock update is probably happening within the next days/weeks for S3?? I'm a Power User but got everything on the HTC with JB to work the way I wanted using Widget Locker and Nova Launcher. HTC stock keyboard much better so Swiftkey 3 wasn't even necessary. Definitely need Swiftkey 3 on this 4.0 Touchwiz phone.
I spent hours and hours learning Android and setting up the HTC. Don't want to spend all weekend again. But also would like to be on 4.1.x. I was an iPhone Jailbreaker so I'm not afraid of rooting and/or custom ROM but I will be very frustrated with bugs or losing useful features just to get a custom ROM. I'm sure this has been asked 100 times but I think I've explained my usage goals enough to get a decent recommendation? I think a main goal if I do go custom ROM is I want the one that is the most established meaning, most likely to still be around as new devices are introduced 1, 2, 3 years from now. I'd prefer to not keep having to learn the quirks of a different ROM, but I'm also not married to Samsung Touchwiz.
a) Stick with ICS and wait for official JB update and just live with it?
b) Install JB 4.1.2 Custom ROM that is closest to stock? Which one?
c) Wait for stable custom ROM that is based on JB 4.2?
If (b) can someone post a link to the "Custom ROM for S3 Newbie Guide" ?
Thanks in advance.
My advice would be to test out some of the popular ROMs around here, such as: CM10, AOKP, AOCP, etc. There are also ROMs based on TouchWiz with rooted features that have been debloated.
I personally have been using Task650 AOKP for a while now. It offers great performance, battery life, customization, and stability. He offers great support and updates.
Ultimately only you can decide which is right for you as they're all slightly different and we all have different needs from our devices.
Read around the development sections and you'll find something to suit your needs in no time.
Task650 AOKP 4.1.2 JB. 11/18 Build
Underwear kernel (Intellidemand/Deadline)
Well after spending at least 25 hours setting up that HTC (much of it was first time using Android Learning Curve and getting Questions answered and app suggestions.) I'm sort of burnt out. I started reading and reading and reading more here and ran across these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869300&highlight=grey+7
And although rooting seems like no big deal, it seems there really isn't as far as I can tell a JB ROM that doesn't have at least some issues or lacks some Touchwiz features that may be missed?
I'm leaning toward (a) Wait for official 4.1 update. Should be any day now?

Is there a stable Touchwiz based ROM, debloated, based on JB 4.1 I should consider? I really am not interested in "custom" I'm just interested in as close to stock Touchwiz ROM but just JB instead of ICS. And something that when Official OTA update is out, I can switch to that if desired.

Head over the development section, not original just development and check out the thread started by Drewgaren. I haven't personally tried it as I prefer AOKP, but I've heard it's a nearly perfectly working JB TouchWiz based ROM.

This looks like what I would want. This video seems to confirm:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzJR3I6nLvA
But is there version for I747 and there's no issues?
Does the official OTA update require a reinstall and reconfig of all apps?
After skipping around all 742 pages of the CleanROM thread (geez) sounds like exactly what I want. Problem is, it's for Verizon I535 S3, not the AT&T I747 S3. So what's the closest thing to CleanROM that works for AT&T I747?
I think that Frosty JB and Black jelly ...both are bug free Tmobile ports. Both are stock...or near stock touchwiz. Frosty is straight stock and black jelly has a few mods/ theme ...but they both have been flawless for me. You can find them in the SGH-I747 development section easily. I have tried all the ao•p original ROMs and they all had some form of compromise.
Just my 3¢

Anyone who can help:
Although I really enjoyed this phone since it first came out, I have since moved on to many other phones. Unfortunately, my friend in another state 1400 miles away, has not. He is in Denver, and tells me there is still no 4g lte yet, which is the main reason he still has his evo 4g (Wifi Tether the wimax).
I live too far away from him now, and haven't touched evo 4g roms since the myn warm days. Anyways, he is really far behind on modems and rom, and since he is rooted with s-off, it should be simple enough to cloud share flashable zips for him to flash in recovery.
The issue is, going back to these forums is so confusing when you've moved on to another android phone and manufacturer. Does anyone know of a good solid, battery efficient, yet better than stock, stock themed rom, that looks mostly incognito to stock?
From my preliminary research, it looks like this phone never made it to a stable ICS, JB, or even AOSP / CM, stable meaning all native functions work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"Flash all the ROMs!"
Seriously, try a few.
As a courtesy to you I will observe there are very few lightly themed ROMs based off of the latest OTA.
There are tons of choices based off of CM that get you very actively supported, stable, and fully functional builds based of of 2.3.7. But if you're looking for Sense ROMs based off of OTA 5.07, it's slim pickings.
Note 5.07 is not a really momentous change in the stock ROM experience, just a few "features" and "security" improvements that benefit Sprint more than the user really.
If you want a *huge* choice of stock based ROMs, you might want to relax your definition of what qualifies as the "latest" stock OTA version and select from the many excellent 4.67-based offerings instead (eg Classic). Or even 4.54/4.53. (eg MikG) Or ports based off of similar HTC phone builds from that era (eg myn's Synergy). That generation of ROMs marked the great golden age of Sense Evo ROM development.
Then again the latest OTA itself may just meet your needs - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671395
It does in fact meet all the criteria in the thread title and of course nothing looks more "incognito to stock" than stock. Good luck,
Wow, thanks for your input! I'm probably going to Dropbox him the latest OTA and modems, just so I don't have to hear him complain if anything doesn't work. When I had this phone, I always wanted cm in it with GPS and wimax, camera, etc, stable. I'll just get a Debloated and slightly tweaked one over to him.
My friend isn't a flashaholic like I am, and the last thing I want to do is be on the phone with him, walking through flashing a bunch of roms.
Thanks again!

Since the EVO lacks ICS/JB drivers for the FFC and WiMax (4G), you will want to stick with a Gingerbread ROM. If I had to recommend a ROM that is near stock but better, I would give +1 to MikG 3.11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967 with Ca1ne's Classic Sense SBC Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557248 or SS Ultra http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28462129 which includes Ca1ne's Underworld SBC kernel.
I highly recommend Official BlakCM TSP 10.1.
It's 4.2 but so far it's the best rom I've found.
The big thing for me is that it hardly uses any juice when it's not in use!!
Leave it alone for a day & you'll only use about 10%.
