Tweaked Rom is the way to go since it would offer All the TW goodness you would need but debloated and has options to customize the rom further with a built in app (Status Bar Mods, Lockscreen Mods, etc....)
Also look up the "Pimp My Rom" thread to read up on their App (Which can be found on the Play Store) but it will offer many tweaks that you can conduct on this rom. (WiFi tweaks, 3g 4g tweaks, etc....)
Tweaked rom is that what its called ? Sorry

Yes, tweaked for a TW ROM or if you wanna know what vanilla android is kinda about, we have a great Cyanogen Mod 10.1 ROM that is updated nightly

I have been looking around the forums for a while now and if anyone knows where i can find such a ROM that fits the fallowing:
- Official release of Froyo 2.2
- De-oxidized
- All bloat ware removed
- no sence UI
- Uses LauncherPro
Thats about it, if anyone knows of a ROM that fits the previously stated criteria. I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers,
Daugusta
sounds like cyanogen's rom is what you want - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596
may wana keep general questions to the Q/A section & do some searching as your question has been answered many times over
CM6 fits all those.

CM6 is the ONLY ROM without Sense right now.
Can't you just download launcher pro from the market? What about adw launcher? Root your phone and delete the bloat. A lot of stuff can be deleted manually. Message enomther and see if he will port his nexus Rom to evo. It is a great Rom.

There is a Senseless Froyo-Fusion out, but I haven't tried it.
I personally tossed around the idea of a stripped down ROM, but like 2.1 can't get the AOSP dialer working, and the AOSP calendar had some wierd issues.
I know of at least one more established ROM dev that is currently working on a 2.2 version with sense stuff stripped out. I'm guessing we will see it in the next few days.
But other than CM, none of these are true sense-removed roms. They still are Sense at the core (framework level) but have AOSP apps in place of sense apps, and a different launcher. If you want a true AOSP, CM is the only one, and I'm pretty sure for other phones most AOSP builds are based off CM.
Hi,
I've been trying out different custom roms for my T Mobile S2, thanks to XDA.
After messing around for a while, I decided to go back to the stock rom, but keep it rooted.
The one feature that I miss is the quick panel toggles in custom roms.
I was wondering if anyone could help me mod/install the quick panel toggles in my S2.
I'm running the stock ICS rom, its rooted and has CWM.
I tried searching, but couldn't find anything specific to T Mobile S2. It would be awesome if I can get this toggle feature alone!
Thanks!
Which roms did you try? There are a few that have the quick toggles that have a very stock yet performance upgraded feel.. As far as modding the toggles to work with stock I don't know..

I tried darkside's rom. It was good, but I faced frequent app hangs. So I thought of waiting for the next releases of the rom and reverting to stock for the time being.
After reverting to stock rom, the one feature that I'm really missing at this point is the quick toggle. And I didnt feel any performance difference also.
Just checking to see if an apk or a flashable zip is available for this...
You should give aokp a shot.. You'll curse the word so keep after you've tried it

After you flash the ROM, install titanium backup. You can remove bloatware with that app. Anything T-Mobile you can remove.
They call me "Jelly" cuz jam don't shake like this!
Don't you prefer to install custom rom? Many custom roms have bloat already removed. I recommend FrostyJB, very stable, most of bloat removed, long battery life.

I wasn't using any ics based roms so nothing from my personal experience. I know that there was Frosty based on ics, I saw it somewhere. If it is as good as his jb based then you should be happy with it. I recommend going to development forum and checking the most popular roms, you should find something interesting. Sorry for not providing much help in that matter. I just don't have much experience with sgs3 ics based roms.
Good luck

That has no bloat, but also you lose Samsung exclusive (tw based) futures like motion or smart stay, and it may have more bugs. But this is very good option for some. I'm running right now one of cm10 based ROMs and I love completely bloat free experience. Battery life is incredible. But I miss smart stay and few motion gestures.

Root & install SU + BusyBox.
Install terminal emulator from the market.
Fire up the emulator & go to town on APKs in /system/app.
For the APKs you find annoying & not spelled to your preference....or you simply wanna claim a Fatah on, delete.
Win.
Hi i just rooted my galaxy S3 and was finally able to get a custom rom on it, FrostyJB 11.2.1 to be exact. However im looking at themes i want to add but im not sure how themes work and if they are all compatible or if some are not. Any info would be great thx.
Yeah youre gonna have to look around the forum as some themes work only on a specific ROM.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Thats the thing I dont see the themes say anything about if they are compatible with certain roms or not.
There's usually not a whore lot won't write with trial and error so long as you have a COMPLETE cwm or twrp backup handy

Make a titanium backup first! (May take up to 20 minutes like mine does). Then go to the themes and apps section and there you'll find a couple. Wasabi has an aroma zip that can be flashed through custom recovery and that alone has 19 amazing themes. He did a banging job. I'm running the HTC one
Sent from my Rooted Gameboy
Pardon my grammatical errors earlier.. Wow. ADD mixed with Swype can be a rough combo. Anyway, Wasabi's themes are excellent. I know though there were a few issues with systemui crashing on some Rom's, but that's has most likely been fixed by now. The Domination theme by Deviant is bad ass, but I assume it's only for the Domination Rom. So basically, like I said, trial and error. Just keep a backup in case you run into trouble.

We have the same rom, I've been using lantek's aroma installer, and wild child's aroma installer, with frosty i think he posted a link on his rom thread, and wild child has a link on one of his rom threads, name was xquizit v11 kitchen, both working excellent on frosty rom
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Ok after going through wasabi's thread i noticed someone saying that the themes are not working with the rom i have FrostyJB v 11.2.1 because of some kinda 23 toggle feature (have no idea what that is lol) so im kinda scared as to try flashing that on my phone. They also suggested that you shud downgrade to 11.1 as more themes are compatible. Does anyone have any experience with themes working on 11.2.1 or is it bad for themes.
Also i have been playing around with the Nova Launcher and have a nice layout that i can work with, I have a question about the status bar tho. Is there anyway to change the Battery, wifi, data, etc. symbols to blue instead of the green ones without having to flash anything or is that the only way.

If I was you I would stay away from themes alltogether because i put a theme on one of the roms by the same people that made frostyjb and guess what, battery was draining right before my eyes, every few seconds a percentage fell.

Hey guys im wondering if theres a rom that is exactly like the s3 or Note 2? Im talking about the way the OS looks and acts. icons, dial pad, txt, etc etc. Can you guys tell me one of this builds available that can be stable and smooth and looks like the s3?

Look at the ROMs OP [original Post or post 1 of any ROM thread] that will list how the ROM differs from stock and/or the adjustments made by the developer to the ROM and those ROMs that include S3 or Note based apps will state that. There are more and more doing it and you should be able to copy those same apps in to like ROMs [say you have a JB ROM and it has the app you want and another JB ROM you want to use does not] you could then copy the apk over and in a lot of cases it should work [it may not if the ROM is AOSP or AOKP those refer to different code bases and you may find some of the apps will like one or the other.
There are also threads in some cases if you search that offer up just the apps and state what they would work with.
As a last ditch you could download a Note or S3 ROM and open the zip [DONT FLASH IT TO YOUR DEVICE] and got in to system directory in zip go to apps and copy the apks you want from it and move them to the ROM you want to try them in. Worst comes to worst if it gives you issues use a root capable file manager and delete those apps that don't work.
OF COURSE, run appropriate backups as this really should not break your install, but on the totally off chance somehow it does it is better to be safe than sorry when just learning.
I suggest Embryo 6
I was looking at the Embryo Roms and there are two of them one says 6.3 and the other 6.1.1 i saw in the 6.3 there are some issues with call eco and other stuff, and saw in the 6.1.1 that it has some of the features giving problems cause they are experimental, wich one do you guys think i should give it a try?

I think you are referring to the flash bar as experimental and thats because multi-window has not been implemented. I use 6.1.1 and its beeen the best 4.1 Jelly bean rom so far from my experience. Or you can do what that guy above me said and have a much smoother experience.
