It seems like there are too many roms to try out and find one that fits...
I tried Jellyybomb and hated it...
I use my phone a lot with a blu tooth keyboard and a blutooth mouse...sometimes thru the usb/hdmi thing.
So anything that improves preformance of the phone , looks smooth sleek..would be nice.
It isn't that innumerable. There are two options either TWiz or AOSP. TWiz are usually patched and themed, check the individual change log for what the authors have done. AOSP come in all manner of varieties, check the op and change log.

So...Jellybomb is what?
You might like NoWIZ. It's based on the deodexed MA7 stock TW ROM, but it's got the look and feel of AOSP. Add the Perseus kernel and you've got winner. Great performance and battery life, clean interface, and access to native TW apps and services.
*EDIT* FYI, JellyBomb, and all the ROMs in "Android Development" are TouchWiz(TW) based. AOSP ROMs are in "Original Android Development"

Touchwiz based. Any rom with a build number LJC, Lk8, MA5, MA7 etc is a touchwiz based rom. AOSP roms say AOSP or CM in the thread title.
I like to break stuff!

I am a bit new to Android and the GS3. But honestly I am already sick and tired of waiting for Jelly Bean as well as some of the problems of Touchwiz. So I think CM10 is the next thing for me. But I am unsure of the differencr between Touchwiz and CM10. For example I love the quick settings panel, the brilliang camera app and settings, Wi-Fi direct sharing (sbeam) , as well as the smart dialer and decent task manager. I just want to make sure everything will be better.
it's your call. i'd say you should try it out, and if you don't like it, you can always go back to stock touchwiz. just remember to read the op and the last few pages of the thread to make sure there aren't any unwanted problems to deal with. and of course, backup your current rom.

Stock Jelly Bean has been leaked. This will give you all the Jelly Bean goodness without resorting to a custom ROM.
You could also install the touchwiz launcher on CM10 if you like the TouchWiz UI. (I don't)
You can always flash back to stock ICS if you don't like where you end up. Just read the original post and make sure you understand what you're doing so you don't end up with a brick.

So if I tried it and didn't like it, I could just go back to normal and get updates OTA and everything.
Not all S3 are identical. The radio interface are slightly different, region wise. So yes , you can download a Samsung stock ROM off the Internet, it will not be exactly the same. Call and battery performance will be affected slightly.
You can use a backup to restore, it is the closest you can get to original, but rooted.
That it's the complete picture.

Things I like about touchwiz.
Movable home screens.
Little red flags on home screen icon showing unread status.
Social hub for Twitter and Facebook.
A working music player
Swipe right to call, left to SMS
Task manager, less of an issue in ICS and later.
Good alarm app
Best battery performance without tweaking.

yes, but not without some work. you'd need to either restore your backup and unroot, and remove the custom recovery or odin back to stock.

Yeah, the camera is brilliant.
Then I recommend Drew Garen Serenity rom! Its Touchwiz JB, its a GNote2 port, works great if you want the same TW features and more! (Gnote stuff), just use a launcher. I'm using tasks AOKP rom myself and its awesome

I've been stuck with AOSP. I love the TW/Samsung features, just not the interface. Coming from a Nexus, I just got comfortable with minimal. Slimbean, Aokp and liquid smooth are great base ROMs that are light.

The whole thing with that is I don't particularly care for Touchwiz. It kinda ugly and heavy with useless stuff. I just don't want to lose useful features.

yea im in the same position you are, i still change back and fourth because of features on TW that i miss and need often.
I am considering just flashing and trying it out and flashing back if I don't like it. I honestly don't mind Touchwiz, but I feel like if I give in and and wait, then I will just keep falling further behind. Perhaps Touchwiz is better now, but it certainly won't be in January
Touch wiz has too much overlay IMO. Liquid smooth is one of the best AOKP ROMs I've tried. But you will be missing out on Sbeam and everything Samsung related of course. But the sheer speed of aokp is a good enough trade off for me to lose just the neat camera and svoice.
I am using AOKP from Task and ktoonez, I love it but really miss smart stay and allshare cast to the point where I'll probably go back to TW JB once ATT actually releases it. Is there a JB ROM that includes those?
Hey guys,
Is there anyway to get the TouchWiz S3 camera features with one of the custom roms or just stick to a stock?
My brother loves the AOKP but he is insistent on having those default camera features/effects that came with the phone.

I love the features of various source developed ROMs like AOKP, CM, or Paranoid Android. But at the same time I'm so used to certain Touchwiz things, like the calendar, dialer, browser...
What's the likelihood that someone could move the TW framework and apps over to a source-based ROM? Is it possible? Would it be stable? Or should I just find third party apps and move on with my life?
Some people have been able to port some, not all, of the TW apps but as far as everything else, it's never going to happen. People have wasted hundreds of hours and gotten no where.

I would love to see something like this, but I'm realistic and know its probably not possible.
I can continue to dream about seeing the touchwiz camera on cm10 though, right?

If someone could just get the TW camera ported to AOSP, that would be awesome!
There have been a few in the past that were TW base but had some AOKP things added. But they arent up to date anymore
I know that jellybam has a touchwiz launcher but not the touchwiz apps. Plus i don't know how stable that rom is at the moment.
I've talked with johnsondr80 over at The Collective some time ago, and they apparently looked into merging TW into their ROM, and apparently it became apparent as to how incredibly massive it was going to be to do that. Apparently TW is interwoven throughout the entire ROM, and in essence would require (pretty much) a build from scratch........ I'm not a dev, so I could've misunderstood. But it sounded like it was was too much work for the benefits

you should try to keep all your questions in 1 post. you'll actually get better help that way.
you are on an AOSP rom. you want TW features which are woven into the stock firmware's framework. its essentially a choice: a few TW features vs custom AOSP optimizations. both can share some similar customizations, but not everything is interchangeable.
Any of the feature on TW WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING BESIDES TW.....
None!
They're dependant on touchwiz and won't work on anything else.

As long as source code for TW stays unreleased its impossible to port. That's why no devs bother to try and port. Its going in blindfolded. Same with Sense and other UI overlays. So when Samsung releases source code it'll be possible.

What features exactly? There's apps like Wave Control that do similar things...
Ya, there are a lot of apps that allow TouchWiz like features. There is a MMS apk for AOSP roms that has the while in messaging put phone to ear for Direct Dial. Just search in the playstore TouchWiz or galaxy s III things like that.

Well for that particular feature, I recently discovered that Liquidsmooth (and quite possibly CM, as well as JellyBam and others) have this feature in the settings for the stock messaging application. It's the last setting, labelled as "Direct Dial", but it's pretty inconsistent with the auto-dialing. I've noticed that when I'm laying down and attempt to call it won't work because if I put the phone to my ear the screen just flips to landscape view, and stays on. When I'm up right it tends to work, however I haven't had many opportunities to test this out yet.
That would be sweet if someone got two working with aosp, they need to release the code...
Hi, I am new to android world, i used apple before and was quite good at jailbreaking and stuff, but it has a lot less options than android. so i switched to samsung galaxy s3 gt- I9300
I rooted my phone, and made a clockworkmod recovery... i think its a backup.. and then i installed custom roms liquidsmooth, and paranoidandroid. both havinig base firmware as 4.1.2... But then again i switched back to Stock because i dint like the all black and blue stuff in all the custom roms, though i appreciate the options that have been added, its like having a feeling of me controlling my cell rather than the company who made it. but i dont really liked the blue wifi icon and battery icon and all the other radio buttons in blue... so
my question is
1. Can i have the custom rom i.e liquid smooth or any other with the UI as the stock one?
2. or is there a package or a theme that would change the layout of my custom rom to the stock layout ( by layout i mean all the colours and the stuff) but wont affect the options that developers have put in the custom roms.??
I would really appreciate your help.. and really sorry if i said something wrong. coz i am new to android. thnx alot in advance
OK I just need to clarify something.
There are;
Samsung Touchwiz based Custom ROMs (Stock)
AOSP based Custom ROMs (AOKP, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid etc)
So when you say custom ROM, you don't necessarily mean what you think you mean.
What I *THINK* you are asking is:
I want to use AOSP based custom ROMs but i don't like the look of them. Are there any themes to make AOSP based custom ROMs look like Samsung Touchwiz?
is that correct?
Unfortunately I have not seen any themes that do this. Almost everyone who wants to put a theme on a Samsung TouchWiz ROM, wants it to look like AOSP (which I think is the opposite of what you want?) Most of us dislike the Samsung colours. We feel they look a bit childish. This isn't a judgement of you. I am just explaining why we don't see many themes like what you are asking for.

Going upstate this weekend and I get literally no service what so ever so I wanna use Roam Control but it doesn't work with 3.4 kernels so I wanna go back to TouchWiz for the next couple of days.... can I just flash a 4.1.2 ROM (say M.O.A.R) over my current ROM (Deviant Xone)? Of course clean install!
Yes just wipe and install. Also when you get to where you are going to be update your prl and profile it should help a little with signal. Also I would maybe recommend the md4 baseband but modems can vary for each user.

But anyways thanks for the help. And yeah I haven't updated my profile/PRL in 2 1/2 months!

I always update the prl and profile when I travel and get to my destination. I suggest downloading wasabis new themes in the theme and apps thread. There are instructions on how to flash them on page 14 in the thread, you ha e to edit a file before flashing them to make them work. Also there is a AOSP style messaging app for TW. I like the look of AOSP so with moar and the AOSP app my phone looks like AOSP but has the benefits of TW. After flashing the wasabi ice cream them with his aroma installer just boot up and then go back and run morphology only to change the status bar to AOSP colors and you will be good. I lo e moar it's my favorite ROM.

I just LOVE 4.2.2 not even the "AOSP feel"; yeah it's cool I will admit but I'm on an AOSP ROM 95% because of 4.2.2. Love the lock screen widgets, quicksettings tiles especially, come in very handy at times. Also some of the features the Dev has put into the ROM is awesome. I guess I'll see over the weekend if I'm gonna stick with AOSP or go back to TouchWiz with M.O.A.R.
