so, i recently switched phones, i had the evo 4g, and now ive got the epic 4g touch. With the evo, i hated sense, despised it, it was super intrusive and overall crappy looking to me. But TouchWiz is pretty awesome in my opinion. On the Evo, I used AOSP roms to get rid of sense. I want to try 4.2 jellybean, but i dont want to lose touchwiz, so whats stopping me form flashing a 4.2 AOSP rom, then a touchwiz launcher zip over that? would that work at all? sorry if this makes zero sense, i dont really have an excuse though....

Touchwiz isn't just a launcher. It is laced in throughout the entire OS.
If you want a really good ROM use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025466 It is my daily driver.
Please make sure you read the entire OP and the first couple posts right after. It will also do you goo to go through the entire thread. We have a ton of tips and tricks in there for this ROM.
As of right now, 4.2 is still in its alpha stages and very buggy. Not worth using as a daily driver at this time.
Haha I'm actually using jelly verse now, it really is the best out right now, I think. Thanks for your advice, too.

I beg to differ. This is the best thing out ;p
Once Jelly OTA hit's there will be a version of it.
But that's why this place is great. Lot's of options to suit your need's.
Dont worry you will get tired of Touchwiz soon.

I personally love it. I just removed anything that I don't need.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
So far? Even though it's ICS, it's the latest official OTA, and tweaked and customized with features no rom here can offer. Don't like the kernel, pick a new from right in the rom. Don't like there being a clock in the statusbar? Get rid of it, from right in the rom. Need some new fonts? Themed apps? DOnt want some of those bundled apps? Hell, you can customize it before you even install it. You can really feel the love put into the rom by the developer. I personally can't wait for a jelly version, but until I see the OTA, I am going to.
Why do you say that? I was a little unsure about it after sense. I was deadset on getting AOSP right away, but I turned the phone on and was like, hey, this isn't so bad. I've used nova, holo, adw, and go launcher...but I like touchwiz a lot better than any of those, minus the fact you can't hide icon labels on touchwiz. Might be the only drawback

Never tried it myself, but given it's reputation of being pure **** I can't imagine too many people would swap a Sense Rom(which seems to have a rep as being the only OEM mod of Android worth using) for a TouchWiz one(which most people here seem to hate). Just saying.

IMHO just try to get a working TouchWiz launcher. I know TouchWiz is like Samsung's Sense, but there is an older TouchWiz launcher APK floating around on the 'net, I used it on my Nexus One, once.
The new one is nice, though. I have played with it on my wife's Epic. I'd use it.

Saying which ROM is best is very subjective. I would recommend trying dewizzed, macnut, and juggernaut. Those in my opinion and in same order are the most stable. Try each one for a days and see which one out ultimately feel suits you best. Everybody likes something different so start flashing and testing.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
I use spotify with my phone, does it need a specific ROM or it just needs to be based off of Gingerbread or whatever?

If you like the feel of the stock ROM, but want extra features and tweaks, go for Juggernaut. It is extremely fast, stable, and well developed overall.
And spotify should work.

Actually there is a majority of people who like TW (I am not one), and its simple enough to throw away if u dont, so to say its killing out phone is a lil bit rediculous, also from my understanding (haven't used CM Builds l8ly) they change alot rom and kernel side to make it completely incompatible with AOSP/Stock FW, it would be alot of work to say the least, 2 CM7 IS ported I do believe, but still with bugs (ofc).
3 IF u want stock as possible u CAN download launcher2 or launchers developed from it.
4. There is very little pros that outweigh the cons (for me at least) to scrap what I've done and work from a new source, just to rebuild somebody elses and not really ever have it 100% the way u want, all devs code differently
And even though in my case I do like lookin through other devs work jus to see what they did, and maybe see my own swing on it or c if how they did something, but whether or not, the same thing remains, no matter the code, there's multiple ways to do it (usually) and something u do to somebody elses can usually have side effects xD from not knowing how they went about it that's simply probably y u see these roms geared from OTA sources and such is its way to.much effort to simply take a huge project like CM on and expect to get anywhere fast.
Not to say these devs ain't capable, just saying, u would need more then a few devs working on a base..
Thanx for the reply
TW is system wide, so changing the launcher it doesn't make it go away. And I know we have 2 rom's. I was saying why the dev's can't make the cm7 that we have better with their touch.

I never once said just changing the launcher makes it go away...
Its in the framework, ui, everywhere incl widgets that stock can only b used with TW..
But yet again, it is simple enough to get it out for the most part.
And the answer to ur question then is simple, didn't have needed resourses/sources for CM to add it directly, and devs here Probably have similar issues..

I'm guessing since people are working on ICS and CM9, nobody wants to waste time on CM7. It would be nice to have a fully functional CM7 ROM though.

I have been battling back and forth between touchwiz roms and AOSP roms. . So if any developers are looking for a new rom to make, here is my idea (yes, i know it is not a new idea and has been done on many devices). What i would like to have is the stabilty and battery life of a UVDLJA rom including touchwiz launcher, with AOSP lockscreen, inverted AOSP contacts and messenger.I don't know if its possible, but could there be options for this using aroma in the touchwiz roms?
Something I saw while working in the s2 board with my wife's phone was a rom with a touchwhiz base and the aokp rom control features added, I personally would love something like that
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
TL;DR... I agree on the new rom idea lol. And I *****ed and moaned about the roms we have all in relativity are too damn close to each other. But I still respect their hard work, and praise them all as they are doing things I wish I could do.
I wish I had the knowledge and computer strong enough to do this kinda work, I would've had the rom up and running so long ago lol... I used my phone to get most of it working. building sounds and apps into a rom little things here and there just started to break I gave up.
This would be my ultimate DD never have to flash a rom again. I absolutely despise the "nature" that Samsung built in to this phone.
We have about 3 sounds mods everyone focuses on, some cameras and Keyboards people build into the rom, some awesome themes I'm extremely happy with. I would really like a TW rom with all AOSP sounds instead of the water drops and stuff. Camera from TW, LockScreen from AOSP, Notification and Status bar options from AOKP, 4.2 little things here and there as options.
Know I mean no disrespect and I do appreciate what our guys do in the Dev section.
I miss the devs that worked on those kinda things. We have great guys here (I might get [email protected] for this one) but in general they all seem to be adding the same things; Acid, Beats, Walkman music, removing other Samsung Apps while others keep them. They all leave bloat like LTETest, and LTEsettings in the /system/app folder. I could keep going and going. Know I mean no disrespect and I do appreciate them again. But where are the old roms like we used to get (mentioned above) we had some great stuff in the G2X also. We had roms that had custom lockscreens to launchers and all sorts of neat things I would've never expected. Maybe it's time I stop helping the stupids and save up and get a new computer with the power to build roms as well. (I won't release them to people though lol)
i know the exactly what you guys need
here's a preview (the MyTouch 4G Version):
of course, instead of "Senseless" it would be "TouchWizLess"

I am in the process of developing a ROM. Nothing solid yet. I really do agree with keeping the stability and features of stock with some aosp features. At least for me I'll be a start with dev work. I have a Mac so I've already downloaded xcode and working and following dxsidia as guide. It'll take me a while since I work 10 hour shifts at the hospital and also do some website dev on the side.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm glad to see people wanting to work on this. I believe it will make a great DD. It seems I'm one of the few that really like the touchwiz launcher and Widgets, but I ask you to please include that in the rom. People can easily download the other launchers from the market.
I agree, anything that is downloadable from the market should stay there. It's great that you can include something in a rom, but so can simply pressing the install button. Any thing that is already a flashable .zip (like beats) or (acId sounds mod) should stay as a flashable .zip. Just my opinion.
In the ATT galaxy S3 forums, there is a rom called nexusmod reloaded that is close to what I am referring to. Its based on ics and I don't think it has inverted apps that we like.

dude, you totally can.
easiest way, though, would be to disable your lockscreen and try out widget locker or something like that.
as far as the inverted apps go, i would hit up some of the guys in the themes and apps section. wouldn't take very long to whip something like that up... hell, even the lockscreen wouldn't take very long to modify.
why CM chooses to build from the source of another device is beyond me. it would be much easier to customize the layout/UI, parameters, and make it functional with the firmware meant for this thing, and you would keep all the functionality of TW.
anyways, yeah.
There is this great divide feeling as I've been playing with my new S3, and it really brings homage to the Linux scene (compare: xfce vs kde vs gnome, etc.).
Though I've settled on TouchWiz for now, there are some things I wish were an option and not "just the way it is".
I finally got kitchen working on my Mac. Got a base up and will hopefully be able to post it later. This is my plan since we be seen this throughout. People want stability of stock and those who love tw features will love this. I will be implementing aroma installer later when I get that injected. I've only built a ROM before for myself but never posted it. It'll be theme free and since it'll be stock most stock themes should work. I basically want people to do the work on their own. If they want to add volume mods like beats , they should flash it on their own . This is an experiment to get my foot out there and I'd love the support. Any name suggestions. ??

This is probably the first phone I wouldnt root if it wernt for the need to remove carrier IQ. I wish we had a temproot so I could get carrierIQ out and keep the phone stock . I <3 touchwiz. Way more polished than sense imho .
So conflicted atm... But... think will wait just a /bit/ longer for it to shake out.
Bah, who am I kidding, downloading now.

Known issues:
- The stylus doesn't work. Need to investigate.
- Radio crashes every now and then.
- Audio in phone calls requires an initiation phase: make 2 phone calls to any number when you boot up to get audio functional on the 3rd call.
Ah, perhaps I will wait that big longer.
I'll be running stock TW until I get tired of it, then I'll try some launchers and get tired of those. Thats when I'll flash a new ROM and Kernel.
I'm going to stick with TouchWiz so that my phone would be fully functional as it was meant to be. Also, TW has drastically gotten much better and I already like the feel of it. It's already fast and buttery smooth. And with my phone rooted I had it tweaked at 5x5 grid with scrolling wallpaper and a sweet ass theme.
I haven't rooted yet, in the past only did it to have full data access (tether) that I pay for, and delete bloat. But with new updates coming at some point I've been making due just fine so I'll wait until after the big update to decide if I'll root. As far as stock versus touchwiz lol now that's easy regardless to the screen size or how smooth it runs I couldn't imagine losing my pen that's how I enter text etc and once of my main reasons for buying, could have kept my S3 & yes 4.8 to 5.5 is different but let's be serious why get a note 2 only to root and put stock.........losing all the reasons to own a note two ........laughing out loud. And FINALLY you delete carrier IQ Lmao, ok fine but if you haven't noticed this won't stop big brother so your peace of mind is shot boots. Non existent

Besides the screen size, the S pen is the obvious stand out feature. Without all the S pen additions it'll be "just a big phone". I'm sticking with TW until I decide to completely give up on using the S pen.
I want to run stock but I'll probably wait awhile until all the spen goodies are rolled in. I don't use it that much, but I'd hate to lose it. My last experience with TW was the Vibrant. So far it hasn't been that bad. I'm running Nova Launcher.
The only function I use from stock is the pop up browser. I never use the pen unless I'm showing someone the gimmick of drawing with it. So yes. I'd love me some CM10.

Touchwiz all the way. Not a huge fan of stock android.. plus I would lose all these cool features of a Samsung phone.

I'm sticking with TW for awhile or at least until we get some better custom ROMs. I like TW and the settings but not the Samsung and Tmobile apps.

I am going to be running Stock Android just because of how buttery smooth it is. Oh and yes if you didn't know we have a pretty much fully functional cm10 ROM!!! Will post details if anyone needs them

I think your terms are misleading. To me, CM10 and AOKP aren't "Stock Android", they're "AOSP" or "Vanilla Android". Of course that's just semantics. "Stock" is the ROM that the phone shipped with. With that in mind....
I'll be running a rooted TouchWiz "stock" ROM, debloated (my idea of debloated), with Nova Launcher. I get the best of both worlds that way, in my opinion. All the goodies that Samsung has done to the phone that make it BETTER, in my opinion, than "AOSP", plus I can add the best of other ROMs. With Nova Launcher, I have the "look & feel" of "AOSP" as well.
YMMV.
By the way, why didn't you add an actual poll to the thread?
This phone + Paranoid Android is all I need. Most of samsungs apps are inferior to their aosp counter parts. The only thing I'll be losing out on is the s pen which I have never actually used in a useful way anyway. Samsung has great hardware but their software and design choices need improvement.
i'll be moving to cm10 once they sort out the calling/audio issue.. i bought this phone because it's a performance beast and the lovely screen.. the s-pen wasn't even a consideration in the purchase for me.. sure, it's a neat gimmick (pull out lightsaber sounds to amuse the kids) but i can't see myself using it for anything..
I'll be using it on touchwiz, since wifi calling is a must and multiview, while i'm really anticipating it, isn't a big enough reason for me to root just yet (I'm lazy and this phone is awesome even without root/custom ROMs). One day I will, but for now I'm just going to mess with the phone

Jelly beer here too, very smooth. Spen works but missing multi Window. Loving it right now.

I'm running Jedi-X7.2 which is the international port. Couldn't wait for TMo to release their update.
