Good Touchwiz Roms? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello,
My friend just got the galaxy s3 for sprint and he asked me to install him a nice rom, similar to my phone. Im from tmobile so I am not familiar with the sprint gs3 roms. I want a rom that uses Touchwiz, deoxed, and not too many bloat ware. On the tmobile forums we have Wicked by Deviant Development, is there anything similar to it? Thanks

Search in android development...all of those are "not original" roms, so mainly based on TW
I would recommend freezas simple stock rooted rom

No idea what wicked is but these are good ROMs.

Figured those two would pop up in the next post or two on this one
Just make sure you send them to visit Morphology (In OP of the TPR or (The People's Rom) Thread. Customize it for your liking.

goodness 9.0.4 and TPR 3.14 (the peoples rom) are both excellent!

I can ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommend The People's ROM....It has many very useful tweaks like the app killer by holding the menu button and the multi-view by holding the back button.
It also works flawlessly. I would suggest using the stock Kernel as me and a few others had excessive battery drain using KTOONZ kernel.
The developer, Kenny, is very active here and is very quick to address any problems that may arise. He is a top notch developer and I trust his work. I have been flashing ROMs for years and if I were putting it on a friends phone I wouldn't look at anything else.
Your friend will thank you for hooking him up with this ROM.

I get all my roms from galaxys3root.com. it has all carriers and direct downloads for the which ever carrier you need. I recomend reading the comments though, not all roms are stable.

So, what is the ROM of choice for most to offer??

I used the CM9 Rom on my Epic and generally enjoyed it. With the SG3, what seems to be the Rom of choice for most to offer and stability?

All the touchwiz rom are stable, the difference between them are themes and features like multi window. 4.2 AOSP roms are a w.I.p imo, but the little bugs can be tolerated.

Like said above, touchwiz is stable but I favor CM10. Awesome ROM. People say AOSP is always buggy, but I can tolerate it. I love cyanogenmod

@OP, we're steering this conversation towards rom types because as your question stands now, its gonna get locked.
I dont yet have this phone, but I love Sense. Sense, sense, sense roms all the way
Especially Sense 4.0+. Beautiful.
MIUI seems kinda bland to me, but AOSP is simple and sweet

it sounds like most people like either CM10 or AOSP. any techies out there able to explain what one has that the other does not? I have used CM for years, but unfamiliar with AOSP. The other thing i liked having for the Epic, was I was able to switch back and forth between the stock rom and CM9 for Sprint updates. Can i still do that with the GS3? I was looking for the Stock Rom to have as a zip but did not find it on the forum. Helps with Sprint updates

CM is an AOSP style rom.

what does CM10 offer that the stock rom does not?
Fo sho its the Rom to have and use is the Chemistry Rom because I have a GS3 fleshed to boost and all my main functions I need all work with this ROM. My mms and my voice mail. And with Ktweaks kernel I am getting some serious battery time on this ROM so its over all the perfect ROM right now to have. And my man Sac is there every step of the way to give support and help with any issues
If you use cm10 or any aosp or aokp rom you lose all the goodies in touchwiz like motion effects.

Personally I like MOAR ROM, great list of features and you can theme it however you want during install

It gives you a clean, stock android look, theme able, no bloatware, uses less ram. I have heard better battery life but I don't know. It has CM10 tweaks. If you can wait till cm10.1 is stable, it should be pretty awesome.

does anyone know if there is a zip file of the stock 4.1.1. rom out there so that if I do download cm10 rom, i could switch back and forth between CM10.1 and stock rom
Make a backup in recovery. Thats what its there for
I like to break stuff!
Agreed. Backups are good

Most of the roms in the Dev section are rock solid (minus a few bugs which are normal in almost everything) the only way to figure out which you are going to like is to read the OP of a few that sound interesting, flash and take it for a drive (give a day or two typically) unless you can't stand it. MOAR, TPR, and FAT ASS (Cartman Edition of TPR) are all great TW based roms, offer all the fun of normal TW.. Incredible themeing options via Morphology.
Free GS3 is another great rom (from what i hear) as well. I haven't personally ran this one either, but does work with Morphology for themeing options.
Just scan the dev section. You'll find a good fit.

Well buddy that's a matter of personal preference. Find out what you like your phone to do and find a rom that suit your needs. Unfortunately you won't get a definitive answer on this subject. Trial and error until you find what you like.

Good Rom that is stock?

I came over to the Note 3 after having a S3 for a few months. Day one I got my s3 i put on the Team Sonic-FreeGS3 and it was a great rom. It based off the stock rom and used the stock kernel. Just had some good mods done to it.
I now have had my note 2 for two months but I still have not found a good rom that I like. Anyone know of a good room that keeps most of the stock stuff?
Im looking to try out digiblur rom as it just about what Im looking for. Just need to add a few apks back into the rom before flashing it.
What stock style roms are you all using?
I'm on the nowizAOSPmod rom it has the feel of aosp with all the stock touchwiz features.

I would totally urge you to give Whompasaurus a shot. I cannot say enough good things about how quickly the dev's have worked to fix problems and support users on their thread. Best and only ROM I run!
The only negative I have to say about it is that you will not want to ever try another ROM again after using it.
The ROM has the option of installing with Perseus Kernel or the Stock Kernel.
Venum STS is stock odexed..doesn't get any more stock than that.

Latest and greatest ROM (3 month flashling cleanse ends today)

As the title states, I've not flashed a new rom since back in December when I flashed the Free GS3 rom. From my understanding, there have been various updates since then.
Can I get a few suggestions of some good roms that retain all functionality? I usually base my choice off of thread views but it's slightly offset now with some developers having larger lapses in time between updated roms.
Thanks!

Thank you all! I'll give MOAR a try!
Realy liked MOAR and TPR, but i really like the Team Nocturnal ROM called MSG_Chubbz. It is very smooth and has tons of customizable options built into the ROM that dont require a re flash. Im torn between the three but this one seems my choice at the moment.

FreeGS3 was awesome and MOAR is good. Im currently on Stock MB1 rooted with a custom 5x6 TW Launcher. Loving it. Tried all other roms and i end up on stock every few flashes.
Any TouchWiz ROM retains all original functionality and they all are the best.
If the dev debloats the ROM usually a file is provided to put the stock stuff back.

Cleanrom users, what do you recommend

Didn't see a similar topic sorry if there's one like this already. Those of you who use Cleanrom, can you recommend similar ROMs that focus on stability and speed? Scott said he's stop developing and I was looking at Liquidsmooth. Any suggestions?

Just because he "stopped" development for the MC3 builds doesn't make them bad...
His roms are excellent...and until an official 4.2.2 or higher build is released for this device...you are not going to find better TW builds anyway...g
Agreed. Scott's ROMs are as solid as they come, but if you absolutely have to flash something and you want TouchWiz, there's Jedi and Skynote.

I was holding out for cleanrom 5 on my recent warranty replacement, but decided to try skynote. I'm only on day 2, but so far it's performed equally well, although it is a bit more bloated.
I was also actually impressed with that stock Portuguese(?) rom that Scott posted recently. If I change my mind about skynote, I might just go back to that, and try to de-bloat it manually the best I can.
I recommend posting this in the Q&A section since it will probably get moved there anyway lol
I used both Clean ROM and Skynote, both are excellent but I love Liquid!!
I actually recommend this thread be closed.

[Q] Need Help deciding on a rom for my Gs3

Currently I'm looking to flash a rom onto my Gs3 that has Multi-Window enabled, but maybe something that doesnt involve touchwiz(?), I'm just a newbie to XDA and I wasn't sure on what the best Roms for my Gs3 that still have Jelly Bean, but aren't exactly stock rom are. I've been looking at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176793
But one thing i noticed is that in the description it talks about how the dev removed VERIZON bloatware and VERIZON ota updating, which makes me a little skeptical as to flashing it to my AT&T GS3. Any and all suggestions on what a good, stable rom with Multi-window and possibly some of the other GS3 original features would be appreciated!

Multi-window is a touchwiz feature, so u can't have it without a tw ROM. Check out S3Rx. Awesome ROM, insanely customizable, great support!! A lot of the other ROMs u will see use these guys mods in their ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252932
+1 to S3Rx.
and also to Intergalactic 3.0
both are TouchWiz based, and have multi-window.
A vote for deTmobilized also by enewman17. I tried the sr3x rom but wasn't fond of it.
Can't go wrong with Slimbean, it's not touch wiz though. Plus they just released JB 4.3 today.

Also +1 for S3rX. In theory it should be better than DeTMO, because it's an ATT base with all the funness added on top.

Actually, I have the same question. I just got one AT&T version GS3. I don't like all AT&T bloatware, but I like stock ROM quality(in terms of stability, and smoothness).
Which version has no AT&T bloatware, has multi-window support, and as reliable as Samsung stock ROM ?
Thanks all in advance for all replies.

Root the stock 4.1.2 rom and debloat it manually. I have done this on 4 of my relative's I747 and they haven't had any issues.

For what its worth, Dandroid is my TouchWiz choice. Completely stock with a CM feel to it. I was getting great battery life out of it too! Its debloated and runs very fast! I also have to agree with KuRuPtIoN, that Slimbean is a good choice. Just tried the 4.3 and its rock solid. I have flashed almost every rom on these forums a couple of times, and I always come back to Dandroid for TouchWiz and either Slimbean or Tasks AOKP for non TouchWiz

I agree with this totally. TiBu will help you debloat the useless stuff that AT&T deems to put on the phone and it gives you more control in terms of disabling those pesky services you don't want running. I've been running the update just to see what improvements were made and so far so good once I debloated. I will be reverting back to AOSP soon though because I want the 4.3 goodness more than I want Samsung "goodies".
