just so you know when I did a barebone rom for UnNamed I went in and got rid of extra languages extra ringtone Kies and fonts. Now thats when brings it down to barebone in my opinion. You need to find one of the old school original barebone roms that were put out and see what has been removed and duplicate it on the EL29 rom of your choice. I cut out about 75 -100 megs

This is probably the best rom based on the stock build already optimized, tweaked and ready to go. Download 3 things from the OP on that thread, the 'format all', the rom and the bare rom converter and you should be good to go.
If you get tired of the stock look, you can find plenty of themes around or use a third party app like Go Launcher that has plenty of downloadable themes.
There are plenty of pre-themed roms available out there based on stock as well.

Naerok rom thats it I just remembered he was the base I used for my removal party... Its all up to you OP when I decided to go barebone I wanted everything removed. Most of the scripts I see just remove system/app stuff. Also there are threads that say whats safe to remove in our phones if you are worried but once again I believe they are all system/app files

Understanding roms after the ics update

OK.. So every phone i have ever owned i have rooted, Kernels, anything and everything.
But here is my problem.. I have recently updated (manually) to the new ICS on my epic 4g touch.
I have tried all the roms pre this release and never had 100% luck with any so normally always ran stock os plus root.
I want to know if A) there are new roms post this recent update, B) if i root to another pre-existing rom is it going to mess it all up again.
Basically i want like CM10 out or something. Something made specifically for how the phone is now...
Any suggestions?? Im tired of stock. I want to customize!!! :crying:

Depends how custom you want to go. If you want to flash custom theme and modz, you must go with a deodexd ROM.
But if you want AOSP-ish look, agat has a very good stable and themed FF18 ROM he calls tFF18. It has a simple look, much different than stock tho, but it's built with a custom kernel and based off Samsung, not CM9 or 10
not sure if that helps.

The upcoming aosp builds should see a large improvement if it's of any interest to you

It does help!. So if i get this right... ANY deodexed rom or another option is tFF18. And these are both based off our current rooms so that EVERYTHING WORKS

Are there any other name brand roms out there i can look into?
Anything t look into specific??? As far as AOSP roms go, ive tried them in the past, but are you saying their newer version ones are friendly to the latest update?

Yes everything works. tFF18 is odex, so you can't change much of the ROM but it works incredibly smooth and stable. Also, practically all DEODEX'd ROMs have the hacked sprint hot spot for tethering. Stock and odex roms require the Wifi Tether app which is easily found by googling "wifi tether apk"

Aosp is nice and light weight, makes it super snappy, but you lose a couple convenient features from samsungs touch wiz UI.. My main gripe with going aosp/aokp is that my camera doesn't perform as well, where IMO Samsung did a nice job with the software.

What he said. As far as touchwiz goes, TDJ's Darkside Evolution blows the others away and CM10 is what it is. Super stable and Jelly Bean.

Now, to literally answer the title of the thread...

I would have to say, the stock Koodo 4.0.4 ROM. It's the only ROM that I'm able to flash on my phone through Odin that is completely clean of anything custom.
Helps when trying to troubleshoot installing custom ROMs with pretty much a clean slate on the phone. Cheers!

Hehe nice to meet a fellow O1 owner. I came from the Optimus One P500.
Oh, this phone can run on Skyrocket ROMs. Just flash a rotation fix and bam.
On topic, I think I prefer the CM10 nightlies as I keep going back to them over and over. However, I'm starting to use the Touchwiz 4.1.2 UCLL3 leak for the skyrocket. And also the stock Koodo ROM mentioned above was alwaysy previous choice. I still want to go back to it because its clean, no bloat at all.
Enjoy your stay!

wow good news. I didn't know we can run skyrocket rom
what is d2tmo? I thought that is for galaxy SIII ? as I am reading in liquidsmooth dev thread
I like vanilla aosp experience but I will not disregard stock samsung touchwiz rom either
I consider stock samsung rom as vanilla experience in it's own world
now that you mention 4.1.2 leak from skyrocket I may try that if it stable.
on second thought maybe I stay with koodo rom
I still got a lot to read in this whole new phone...

You are correct about 'd2tmo' being a GS3 ROM. Whatever you do, DO NOT FLASH IT! There are already enough posts on here with a person saying they 'bricked' their phone.
If you are still planning to flash a custom ROM, my recommendation would be trying one of the All-Star Devs ROMs. There are too many ROMs to link, but if you search up for threads created by Tmogalaxys2 or android88 in the 'Development Section' you will find any of the Team's ROMs.
Hitting the image on the right of my signature will also lead you to one of the ROMs. Good luck!

D2tmo is s3
Make sure you read and flash for Hercules aka s2

so the different between liquidsmooth and liquidsmooth all star is:
-Android 4.2 themed
-Android 4.2 launcher
-4.2 clock
-4.2 fonts
-4.2 keyboard
-4.2 boot animation
-Many build.prop tweaks for better performance
-Pimp my ROM tweaks
-Seeder Script
-Velocity Tweaks
-AC!D Audio
-Xloud
-Bravia Engine
-Nibbles Kernel
-A lot more!
is it possible to mount internal SD card in CWM? if so which version of CWM?
I don't have micro SD card

Correct, the All-Star version is basically the same as the official Liquid Smooth ROM with extra features. If you are asking your question in regards to flashing the ROM through internal memory, yes, it is possible. Just place the ROM files on the root of your phone.
Also, rather than using CWM recover it is recommended to install and use TWRP 2.3.3.0 on your phone as it is a more up to date recovery system.

How has no one mentioned AOKP? I've tried a few others, but it's always back to AOKP.

If I understand you correctly, you want access to settings through the 'notification bar'? Almost all custom ROMs now should have an option to add "Power Widgets" in the notification for quick access to certain settings if that's what you're looking for.

AOKP is pretty good but I feel CM is a little smoother and stable. Could be wrong as I haven't tried aokp in awhile

@corwest: Oops! Didn't mean to hit "thanks", so have a free one on me!
To the OP, I keep going back to PACman rom. In my opinion it is the best of cm10, AOKP and ParanoidAndroid, though going through the settings can be a little confusing to a newbie since AOKP's Rom Control and CM10 seem to redouble some of each others settings including toggles in the notification drawer (you will notice two sets of toggles active when you first boot the rom). That's the only problem I have with it. (Isn't it great when you can complain about having too many options?)

Kooodo stock rom that I have customized a tiny bit (deodexed with a couple simple mods). Its fast, stable, and has great battery

I always go back to darthstalker version 4. Favorite rom so far, only feature i really wanna keep that no other rom(touchwiz roms) has (maybe i'm wrong) is the ability to record phone calls, and the crt effect. I love touchwiz from the s3.

[Q] GS3 return to sense ui

I have a AT&T GS3 and am running cyanogenmod 10 stable version but it is set with a pure android os, and i liked all the features that the samsung nature ui offered. Would it be possible to put back the nature ui??

No. You either have to choose between AOSP or TW. TW being the original.

if you want to return your phone to factory touchwiz style and settings, i've attached a link. these are the stock firmwares for each carrier. download the correct one and there ya go. i've also attached a link with directions for using odin to flash if this is what you're wanting to do. read over this and understand what you're doing before proceeding. cheers
stock firmware (touchwiz): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625&highlight=stock+firmware
odin software and samsung drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969

personally i'd prefer AOSP roms better than touchwiz
there are only a few things i really love from TW like the S Notes...
but again if you want TW, just download stock rom and flash it with odin
alternatively you can actually download TW theme for your CM/AOKP rom too(if you want to stick with CM/AOKP/AOSP roms while want the TW looks and feel)

I dont really want all of the bloatware by just flashing a stock one. Im a noob to this, could i flash a different kernal??

Like I mentioned, you can't have TW on a AOSP ROM. But you can flash a custom TW ROM if you really want those features. You'll find them in the Dev section (not the original).
There are also debloated stock firmware on here but after getting a taste of custom ROM, I believe you'll want to stick with them

there are several solid roms in the android development section are debloated versions of stock touchwiz. all the garbage has been removed and some cool features have been added in. i've heard the cs rom and graviton are good. read up on these and make sure you understand how our phones work in general. i wouldnt start playing around with roms, kernels, etc until you know more. wouldnt want to see your phone bricked.

[Q]Stock *based* ROM similar to ARHD?

The whole development and original development having different threads is confusing, could someone point me into the direction of an optimized stock based ROM (Deodexed and the like.?) perhaps similar to ARHD?
Anything you highly recommend?
I just unsoftbricked my friend's sgs3 after he did some bad flashes or something else weird, thankfully ODIN worked fine. He was trying to switch back to stock rooted from Liquidsmooth, I suggested Carbon but he wants something stock/stock-based apparently. If nothing exists I'll put him on stock rooted.
Thanks for any help!
ToD

Stock based roms are in android development, aosp roms are in original development. Freeza's rom is stock, clean rom is stock debloated. There are others too, just read each roms OP.

I would also recommend MOAR (Mother of All ROMS) and TPR (The Peoples ROM), both are in android development

Actually TW ROMs are in Android development and AOSP ROMs are in both original and android development.

That's true, thanks for correcting me.

If you're looking for a stock ROM with some mods added in I would suggest MOAR, TPR, or as selfish as it sounds, my ROM. Link below.
