Touchwiz has been good since ICS. It was horrible with Gingerbread. Have you been under a rock this whole time?

I like a lot of the features of the TW roms too, the only thing keeping me away from them now is that most of the threads have fizzled out it seems. I had a few minor annoying issues with them, and seems they have mostly all sorta stalled with activity.
I realize they are skyrocket ports, so perhaps they will never be perfect. At least until t989 gets official jelly bean.

TW is always reliable and most of the time all the features work without issue.. As for the threads dying out.. That will change when we eventually get official JB..

The only trace of anything gangnam style is the startup and shutdown sounds. Which you can remove (as I did). Thats it. Its not a theme.

I've ported it to the AT&T S3 but haven't made a thread for it yet because I have one bug left in it, call audio doesn't work. I could port it to the Sprint S3 and upload it in this thread if anyone wants to test it. Call audio should be the only bug, well if there's any bugs in CM10 those will be present too.

The more ROMs the better
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
well im personally using aokp right now. it takes care of a lot of the cm10 bugs and it has a few customizations that i really enjoy already baked in (i.e. center clock and circlemod battery). the main reason i want the paranoid android is the in depth ui changing. and with jellybean now having 3 different uis baked in id love to go through and tinker with all of that. i really want the 7inch notification bar ui and the tablet camera ui ( i love the option wheel look). but just like it was mentioned earlier, more roms is never a bad thing but the only way i see me giving up aokp is for some PA love lol
Yup it is pretty badass

Actually it looks like some good stuff is happening over here on this thread. The brilliant Mr. Myn is cooking up some goodness for us based on tmo 4.1 leak. He ported a TW pre-build of 4.1 with very minimal bugs. And now according to the thread, there may be another leak that may fix those bugs. Either way, looks like things are coming together quite nicely. Have a look:

As i will, but i dont see it being ported, ever. The hardware has changed to much for it to work. Primarily our phone uses the S3 snapdragon, vs the Galaxy S3 uses the S4 snapdragon. That and the screen type changing makes it highly improbable. It will have to be changed so much, you might as well just call a theme of the S3. From the looks of it, we are getting close to having a stable JB ROM.

It's different enough that porting something would be difficult if not impossible.. Generally to port something you need the hard ware to be quite close.. It would be easier to build something from scratch that to port from something that doesn't have the exact same hardware specifications

I have both devices. And the s3 has different display resolution, different processor, different gpu, different front and back cameras. So it's practically impossible to port anything.
But being away from the s2 forums for quite some time, I am blown away by all the development for this bad boy.

Also, does this banned ROM have a smooth handoff between 3G/LTE/WiFi?
I ask because I have flashed several AOSP and AOKP ROMs and they all seemed to struggle for signal strength (thus, draining the phone battery much faster than a TW ROM).

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.
