I'm running Jellybean and rooted, but I like the feel of TouchWiz well enough I haven't flashed any other roms (yet). The one thing that bugs me though is the TouchWiz lock screen--is there any way to just flash the AOSP Jellybean lock screen, or maybe the CM10 one?
Many roms include it

Check themes and apps. Morphology

Many roms do include it... Probably the easiest way is just to flash a stock rom with it.

I like the stock rom as well, I dont know if you can flash just the lockscreen, but if you go for the whole ROM package, I would recomend you the Sac23's Unofficial Synergy ROM port, it has working multi-window and the AOSP Lockscreen option, and it looks and feels pretty stock, im on the V2 right now, just small bugs, nothing mayor, I get 14 hours of battery and its pretty smooth.
You can give it a try, just flash the V2, not the V3

I've been on cyanogenmod ever since I've rooted my phone and I've never used touchwiz once. I've been browsing through the roms and I like what the goodness rom has to offer but I don't like the way it looks. Before I download and flash it, is there a way to make it look completely stock touchwiz?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Well I was thinking I cant be the only one who loves the look of stock AOSP/CM but the relatively bug free operation of stock roms.
Foxhound seems to be the answer to this but isnt for sprint:

Wondering if anyone else would be interested in a rom like this? Also wondering if any devs would be interested in a project like this?
From what I could tell it's just a de bloated tw Rom with aosp apps right?
Then why not just do this
Use a tw Rom like blazer
use root explorer to delete the apps you don't like
Find the aosp apps for tw in themes and apps section and flash
Find inverted Google app and flash

I guess the part I really liked at least based on the screenshots is how accurate the theme appears to be. I tried ICS theme but it was lacking
I would be all for this.

In your own opinion what is your favourite 4.1 ROM available right now? I know this is going to be a very mixed bag thread but just for fun to see what my fellow t989ers are using

Rom All star v7 is
fantastic,awesome,perfect,amazing #1 for me...:thumbup::beer:
I'm using Official slim bean 3.1 with lightning zap kernel and I'm getting average 4 hours of screen time. My favorite rom so far!
CM10 Nightlies. I always get the most out of my battery out of it. Yet, the call quality on them kinda suck. People keep saying i'm breaking up while on a call.
Just to add I'm currently running slimstar and its pretty smooth on my end hasn't settled yet though
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Depends what you are asking for. If you want performance, usually CM10. If you want battery, I'd also say CM10. For massive amounts of preferences go with PACman ROM.
Has anyone tried both cory's mod and slimstar?

I am praying for MIUI Jellybean based ROM. For now, Cory's Awesome Mod; It's a WIP but as of now ... It's minimal and is a reliable DD for me. :laugh:
I'm using Corys PAC rom love it best one I've tried so far

All Star V7. Oddly enough I had to flash the rotate fix on it but otherwise great. I tend to get between 4-5hrs of screen time (tested on a plane flight from Dulles to Vienna) per battery.
Slim Bean All Star v5 the best so far...

I am running slim-star! I really like it. new build is 26.1 ... Currently re-flashing though because it wouldn't detect my network o__o so I couldn't call anyone.
ROM from GS2USR
I flashed almost all the ROMs and the best one so far is the "[P?+Aokp+Cm] P.A.Cman True All in 1 ROM[01-03-13]" by GS2USR . Using v 19.0 currently.
Very fast/ snappy, no bloatware, has all the options you can imagine. ANd everything works great. I went to other roms for change, but kept coming back to this for smooth sail experience.
Good luck brother !
Aokp. Its virtually bug free.

Best T989 ROM Setup
Based on the advice of others who posted, I tried Slim Star v1.26, updated OTA today to v1.27. It is the best of all I tried for T989. No call echo, which was the deal breaker on a few JB roms. No WiFi issues, which I had with the latest CM10 nightlies. Here's the whole sequence of what I end up doing, after a lot of trying things
Flashed Slim Star ROM
Flash the Nexus boot anim from here
Flash Walkman.zip forget where I got that one from LOL, it was in the "Extras" or "Add-Ons" section of one of many ROMS I tried
Flashed latest ASD Kernel (probably overkill I know but I have good luck with this flash as far as eliminating Echo)
Bonus that ASD Kernel flash script does a cache wipe and dalvik wipe and reboot for me, so I do it last (3 less things I have to do in CWMR lol)
Wait 10 min (hardest part LOL)
Reboot, wait 1 min
Set up Google Acct but don't restore phone! Once I accidentally didn't uncheck Restore Phone and it won't let you go back! I had to start all over LOL
Slim Star comes with an app called Update Me, full of Awesomeness. I used the Add-ons menu in there to download a Extras.zip and it's own Slim-Gapps, reboot to Recovery and flash both of those
Today Slim Star did an OTA update of itself to 1.27, dirty flashed that, then set default keyboard to Android because I have to have gesture texting! It just never stops getting more Awesome! :good:
Also Holo Launcher that comes with Slim Star did a Play store update of itself to v2.01. Nice launcher that comes with Slim Star, I set as default, has really good solid Settings organization, never "forgets" my settings like some ROMs did, also wrap around Home screens which I missed for awhile. And it doesn't try to be Phablet, which personally for me I didn't like about some ROMs.
I then disable the following Apps that I don't use (don't know if this is a good idea or not, but it seems to work)
Apollo (I use Walkman)
Google Partner Setup
Google Play Music
Music
Picasa Uploader
Picasa Web Albums
Seeder

Phone is really running better than it ever has, after I followed these steps. Hope this helps others.
The rom want most is an aokp rom that has snote and my spen features. Even Aosp, I just do not like touch wiz and the way it looks, I just want simple Android or aokp and my spen.
This would be the ultimate rom, also the tablet mode gmail!

I've tried that rom out, and most of them, the closest one is jelly beans, but you can't send pictures through texts and it had a few problems
Many of the SPen apps/features are proprietary, so odds are you won't see them in AOSP.
@ work, so can't find a link for you, but
a) you won't find an actual aosp ROM with those actual apps, they are TW only. but you might find an aosp themed TW base rom if you look. (which I'm sure you already have)
2) I think in one of the actual aosp ROMs has a list of "replacement" apps for both those...
Sent from my calculator watch.
OK, found the thread I was thinking of...
The Official CyanogenMod Thread has a post Here about replacement apps for AOSP ROMs.
Not using an AOSP variant at this point on this phone, so can'y comment re: function/bugs/whatever. (Frankly, don't hate TW at all (esp if you use an aftermarket launcher), and this phone isnt needing anything trimmed down for bloat for better function. Yet.)
Hmm...I think requests and wish lists falls under Help issues

So there is no way to back up snote and have it work on another rom?
Would it be possible to mod touchwiz and basically make it like aosp? Or combine it like pacman or something?

Pretty much, all of the 4.2.2 based roms are good. Personally, I use either ProBam or Carbon. Anything that is 4.3 is still in alpha stages and are unstable

I second that, Probam v4.2 is really nice. Rootbox as well

For battery combined with no bugs, stability and speed I recommend thors rom, google tegraowners.net it's not on XDA. Carbonrom on here is a great rom too, I'd also combine it with thor's kernel.
Then last but not least, SlimBean rom! It's my current daily and battery with included kernel is very decent and it's the current AOSP 4.3 rom with the least bugs imo. If you really can't live with any bugs go for the 4.2.2 version.
Only bugs I have in SlimBean beta2 4.3 is graphic glitches in stock browser and gmail.. But it's absolutely doable, besides that it's ultrafast and the customisation options are sweet
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Probam is excellent..it has various features and is updated frequently (recently 4.3 was release)..I personally used it for 3 weeks and found it working smooth and lag free
Then comes resurrection and illusion rom..I haven't tried them but they were the 'rom of the week' in note2root site by zedomax

Well although its TW Alliance is good. It looks exactly like a AOSP Rom anf it even has the CRT effect but it keeps the S apps
