Can anyone recommend a good clean touch wiz room? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm new to the gs3 forums and looking for a good touch wiz rom that isn't themed or just lightly so. I want something snappy and has good battery life. Any suggestions?

I'd suggest BlazerRom with the Stock Theme add-on. V2.4 works great for me!

does it have multiview?

I would suggest MOAR and The Peoples Rom. Both are really stable and very customizable. ...not to mention they have some grade AAA devs always ready to help. And both have multi window

Only way to find out how it's going to work for you is to hit the Dev section, Read the OP.. Check last couple pages in that thread.. (It'll give you an idea typically how it's running for others) EVERY phone is different and how we all use them is as well. So Battery life and things are going to be hit and miss depending on user. Just take a couple for a test drive.. if you don't like.. Flash again till you find a home.

All the Touchwiz ROMS are great but I always comeback for MOAR.

[Q] Best ROM for EPiC Touch?? Stable/battery life

Just got my wife an Epic Touch 4G, I wanted to install CM9 on it, but I don't see it anywhere? I want something stable, with good battery life. What ROMS do you recommend ? can be TW/AOSP, as long as its STABLE and everything works. Shes rocking stock ICS on it now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815854
I use that rom as my dd. Its calk's worked baked in to ff18 with some other stuff. Its almost stock feel. Most bloat removed. Ton of mods.
There is another awesome rom called blu kuban. Not sure if it fits your needs. Its super themed with awesome blue and black colors. Has its own kernel with a ton of cpu tweaks. Blu kuban is like the ultimate rom.

You could also try the "black" ROM, it's very stable and has a great battery life. It is off of ff18 right now but is going to move to fh13 soon.
Its funny how much this question gets asked. I would read up thoroughly on how to flash Roms and root or whatever it is you you want to do and go to the development section read about what is going on and how to install whatever ROM you want to try and try it, see how it works for you and if you don't like take it off. Trial and error is your best bet just make sure you aren't blindly flashing and installing stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Qbking77 has a lot of helpful videos on YouTube also.

Also the most stable ROM is going to be the stock ota updates of course all of these Roms are in development obviously so as each one says on their page there is some issues with every single one.

That's not true by a long shot...
The reason we started making our own ROMs was the instabilities, short-comings, and plain mistakes made by SamSprint in the stock ROMs.. you know, like the eMMC brick bug? That's a far cry from stable imo..

Jedi Mind Trick V9 is the best ROM out there right now IMO..
Fast , smooth, galaxy s3 style, Super fast!!! Just make sure you do a clean install..
Use darkside super wipe before flashing
and darkside cache wipe after install

None for me. My usual DD go tos are dark side v8 and cm9 but now that cm9 gives me graphical glitches I'm down to dark side. I tried pmtr3s roms and didn't like any of them. Didn't dig the theming at all especially with the sith (what's with all these Star Wars rom names? Tdj started it. Its cool but now just plain unoriginal.) Any who so now just running dark side v8.

darth stalker #2 is the best rom no doubt. been running it for 3 days now and it super fast and stable. best battery life on any rom im tried too.
Darkside Evolution3 v8 is still the most reliable and stable imo.. if anyone needs it, they can PM me
I like the cm9 of teamchopsticks, its stable and more smooth than other rom, i tried the jedi mind trick, but the animations and transitions are more faster than what i like

Was wondering what ROM to install. I'm glad I found this thread. Of the recommended ones above, do any of them have camera issues? I need my camera to just work, in addition to voice/data.

Best ROM for...

Battery?

I'm using JMT v9 and its pretty shhweet. It's only my second rom, first was plain jane ICS. So i don't have experience with many roms.
Only had one problem with it, and of course it was when i was showing it off to an iphone owner.
Problem was I was pretty drunk and was adding pages to the home screen and maxxed them out. Went to delete them and it locked up and said touchwiz was not responding. So i just reflashed and wont be doing that again.
Cant post up the bug in the dev section yet, only a couple more posts to go.

This will be locked soon. And the most common answer will be "try them all", but you can try FreeGS3 JB in Android Development.
Also search for mods in Themes and Apps for a thread with "morph" in the title for full customization.

I second Josh Beach's jelly bomb jellybean rom as top notch. Quadrupled battery life and improved all aspects of the s3. I came from blazer rom and was blown away by jelly bomb! Until flashing this I was about to get rid of the s3!!

I have 2 ROMs for you that I have fallen in love with. The first is the latest Paranoid Android with its awesome custom options and battery life. And the other one is the one I'm using now, aokp with ktoonz. This ROM is also very customizable and has given me be best battery life so far.

Welcome to jelly bomb domination!...once you complete a full battery cycle and compare to other roms you will not mind the theming. Read/search the thread for how to mod it. You can get rid of the pull down graphic, slider and even the subdued background image that appears everywhere in v.8.0. At first I wasn't liking some of these either but now I barely notice them.

The answer to your search depends on whether you want to keep Touch Wiz or not. The upside to Touch Wiz is that you can still use S-Beam etc.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I would just flash for yourself and see what you like best. Different phones react differently to ROMs so what works for some people may not work for you. It seems that most people here are using Jelly Bomb, Wicked Sensation, Paranoid Android, CM10. Try them for yourself, but be sure to give it a few days to settle before you make any decisions on battery life, stability, etc.

i have left jelly bomb and am now trying Frankenstein's kill joy v2.1 and wow am i loving it.. talk about performance and batt life.. quadrants in the 6k range. able to oc to 1890 Mhz using voltage control! super clean ui. can use silkui morphology mods to customize how i want.
idk.. the jelly bomb drove me nuts.. to much theme.
its was fun for the first 3 hours.. but yeah. it didn't grow on me.
i wish there was rom ratings poll.. for each device. and a stability rating along with the rating. if anyone knows someone or is capable of making this happen.. id be all over it! i know there is alot of junk troll crap out on these forms. I was looking at a rom to flash.. and baised off of OP it sounded ligit! then reading through the thread i soon found out that no one had been able to get the thing to even boot.. why cant posts like this be FLAGGED. idk. maybe the moderators were doing a crappy job or something. seems like they come in when least needed half the time ha. anyways. thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction!!!!
gladd this post didnt get deleted.
as for suggestions i think i will try PARANOIDANDROID. i had it running on my epic 4g touch and it was snazzy.. i dont remember why i left it.. i have "the collective" on e4gt now and was loving it.
anyways happy flashing and wish me luck!!

taking a look now.
what do you think??
I'm in the same position. I upgraded from my 3 year old EVO 4G and am looking for where to start. This is a whole new learning lesson for me after being so use to roms and upgrading on the EVO. Are there some stable stock roms that have the sprint applications removed already? Which recovery is preferred as well. The EVO pretty much had only one recovery that worked well and Clockwork wasn't it. Not it appears there are 5 or six. TWRP is looking pretty good.
*Maybe this should be it's own thread. Hopefully with better spelling.
the peoples rom has ktweaker and i was able to land this

Just to warn you, I got horrid 3g speeds with fk23...But I think it could be an area thing...
fi27 and f127 modem with agat fi27 v0.6.8 with the rom call lightweight 0.5 its great I get around 9 hrs heavy uses sometimes when I im bored I switch to a backup of jb fk09 tweaked signed I get about 8 hrs heavy uses
Awesome, thanks for the reply! Just wondering, can you define 'heavy'? I personally use my phone at school all the time, I listen to music through headphones about 1/2 of my total day(4 hours or so) and I will also spend a lot of time texting, browsing the web, and using apps that use data. I'm honestly constantly on my phone, and will have to charge it around 3 times per day.

Right now I'm on miui trying it out for the first time getting used to no app drawer. Favorite ROM for a daily (if I had one lols) would have to be Living Rejects. I flash it at least twice a week. Its pretty much my goto when I need a good solid dependable ROM for GPS and coverage while traveling. The battery life is effin amazing and music come out really loud and clear. But I will say once our beloved devs get cm10/AOKP/PA etc running solid for jb I will prolly be going back to PA or try out KK again. I love the UK customization options. I ran ICS aokp as a daily until jb started seeping its way into my veins now I'm flashing like there's no tomorrow can't wait for volume bug fix ^^
