Is it possible to flash a stock android like on the galaxy nexus on the S3? i have one coming from TMO, got a sweet deal on it. if i can get a vanilla android on it i'll keep it, if not i'll sell it and get the gnex. thanks everyone.

That's a question that only you can answer by trying both. I had AKOP on my Vibrant before I bought this phone, and it has more customizations than AOSP. In that way AKOP diverges from Stock Vanilla Android. That being said, there is no way I'm putting anything but stock Samsung on my phone. I just need to wait for a good theme to get rid of the Lifesavers-like Samsung theming and it'll be perfect.

Essentially you are correct. A Nexus device will always be the best way to have the latest and greatest, most bug free, seamless, pure android experience. AOSP will always come close, but you will still always be getting early beta builds as opposed to stable OTA updates from Google. These betas usually start to catch up about the time the next version is released.
But, if your phone is rooted, you can come so close to a vanilla feel and look on a stock Touchwiz rom, that it will be almost indistinguishable. With themes, launcher replacements, and removing/replacing bloatware, it can really get close.

Your going backwards the s3 has better hardware. And if u flash cm10 you are good to go. Don't listen to some of these dudes. Its as vanilla as it will get. I had the gnex and the s3 running cm10 which is jb is faster and has more tweaks. Then the gnex basically its very similar. And as far as data goes idk y some of these people bug out dude do u really notice a difference from 7mbps to 15.....NO!!!! Cuz I don't! Everything is kosher. Op the s3 running an aosp (vanilla) ROM is pretty much flawless has a few quirks but def a dd. ....dig in

Which would you like to see come to the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch!!
I personally would love to see both due to i like the customize look you can do with MIUI and then i like the features CM has to offer more than MIUI.
well since MIUI uses the cyanogenmod kernel, i think it would be proper for MIUI to come after CM7.

ICS (Android 4.0) would be CM9...CM8 is/would have been Honeycomb. I hear there are some HC "CM8" hacks out there, I don't know how official they are.....

Apparently CM8 was honeycomb (which obviously never had the source code released) so people are saying they'll skip to CM9.
I'm really missing the long press back button to kill the current app. I also miss having a choice of power apps in the notification bar?
I want the advanced power menu with download mode and reboot to recovery. the 10 status bar buttons. like unamed rom for att galaxy 2. cm7 of course then miui.
I like both of them. However, I'm still running stock rom. I think the stock rom is ok for me except the tether.
I like what we have and the Devs we have, I never was a fan of miui but cm7is nice. When it comes I will try it I dknt mind waiting.

Hey guys, I've used a couple of roms and am a fan of Euroskank, CM10 and AOKP, but I realize they still have no touchwiz. I was wondering with the official JB release being out for the international s3 and it seems to feature touchwiz as well were there no roms that featured the same(Jellybean and touchwiz)? Let me know guys thanks.

"Euroskank, CM10 and AOKP" are all AOSP ROMs, therefore they don't contain Touchwiz. If you want Touchwiz JB ROM, then you'll have to wait for that from Samsung. BTW, official JB ROM for our phones are not out yet.
Correct, AOSP and AOKP are ROMs based off the Android Open Source Project. HTC and Samsung basically load their own launcher or UI over it. There are usually a few ROMs that come with TW but the devas might be waiting for the official source

Sept for the lack of touchwiz things like smart alert, smart stay, direct call, tilt to zoom, pan to move/browse, shake to update, palm pause, etc. That is the reason that I like touchwiz. It's slightly more functional than vanil. You can put a launcher on touchwiz and look like AOS/KP with the functionality, you lose that functionality though if you go to AOSP and try to look like touchwiz
Too bad the ROMS are full of bugs and do not work right most of the time. I'll wait for a stable update from Samsung.
