Anyone have any preferences for a stripped down Sprint rom with touchwiz? I want the touchwiz and a few of the original apps like snote, google voice,and would like the SG4 keyboard.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I tried the Hyperdrive rom but it's buggy and even though works, I have OCD and everything has to work perfectly together.
Thank you.
I suggest you go into the development threads and do your own research for your needs. As XDA is not considered to be a support site, and threads like these tend to spiral into arguments about which rom is better than another, this thread is closed.

Ok, after trying a bunch of the cool roms on the board, I've decided to install something and forget about it. Been looking for a nicely tweaked and trimmed down version of the stock rom but can't find anything. The problem is, all of the ones I've tried have some kind of an annoying bug or missing functionality, that ends up being more annoying than it's worth. I dislike the TW launcher, but I guess it's a good trade off for a stable working phone. If there's a themed stock rom (all of touchwiz functionality) minus the kiddie icons, please let me know. I'm using the LiquidSmooth 2.5 official now, and I love this rom, but it has a few too many bugs that are very irritating. For example, the camera is junk. Can't focus if it's life depends on it. I keep getting all kinds of artifacts on screen when unlocking the phone, MMS doesn't work half the time and so on. An ideal rom would be something that looks like LS but functions like stock TW but I guess that's impossible.
So please recommend me a stock based rom. Even if it's just stock rooted with the bloatware removed it would be fine. Thank you so much for your time.
Edit: Forgot to add, phone is US AT&T
There is no most stable rom just stick with what works best for you. Not everyone has the same experience on a rom. This thread is going to be locked.

Every ROM is going to have bugs, or things that dont work out.
thats why there is nighty releases of roms, to get most bugs worked out.
Theyre never going to be bug free because of the constant updates and features being added.
only true bug free is Touchwiz.
like the user above you said, you need too look for something that is stable for YOU.
a search would of let you figure this out, a search would of also pointed in the right direction on where to post questions.
this thread needs to be closed.
XDA is a site for development and what is best (stable) for one is not necessarily best for another, users need to test and read and learn on their own.
Hey everybody! I did a search before posting this and couldn't find an answer so here is my question...
I was thinking of switching over to a TW rom but I don't really know what the main difference is in terms of features and bugs. Also, what is everything I need to do to switch over?
I am running Beanstalk which I believe is CM10.1 based.
Thanks for the help!
features are basically what the new rom includes and bugs are small problems that may be being worked on.

Thanks for the reply but I'm trying to compare the features of those types of roms with what I have
well of course some(awesome) features included in cm10.1 will not be able in tw, preferably cm10.1 has many more features than any tw rom, the themeing ability and the new privacy guard.

I would read through the rom op and decide which one appeals to you. As for asking about the differences. Nobody can answer that man because they are all different...they are after all custom roms..But just look around and when you find one you like...Follow the op.I would think you would benefit from reading through the stickies and some guides also. There is a great amount of knowledge to be had in this forum...Good Luck. and use that search button..
are there any TW roms that give us the quick reply like in CM for messaging?
This isn't a best ROM thread so please don't close it.
What I am looking for is recommendations of ROMs to try that meet certain criteria.
That's different from best ROM right? I couldn't find a good feature comparison matrix to get this info. I just want a list of ROMs to try out
I want a ROM with the following:
Based On 4.3
Skinned/Themed e.g. Custom wallpaper/homescreen setup, maybe custom icon set etc
Best of breed applications
Another way of describing what I am looking for is that when I look at friends with Samsung Galaxy S4 or LG G2 the feel of android on their phones is very different.
Their homescreens are well setup and the cameras have extra features and the galleries look fancy etc.
Mod Edit
I know I could probably get this by searching out all sorts of widgets and launchers and applications to just put on stock myself but I would like to see if there is a ROM that has already done it.
So far I have only tried PAC-Man ROM and was a bit disappointed with it.

Are there ROMs that get close to what I am looking for?
Try CM10TOUCHWIZ for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. You can flash it to whichever galaxy nexus by using Zittoro's script. It should be here under general discussion.
Touchwiz is Samsung's skin.
Mod Edit
Keep reading through the first pages of the ROMS listed in the dev section.
If it's there,then ,you will see it.
If not, start looking in the Play store for ways to personalize it.

Several are available. Check the Android Developers thread the TMobile Samsung Galaxy S4 section.
This is just 1 example of the several there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337709

You are going to have to do this research yourself. Threads like this which inevitably turn into "Which rom is best" discussions are not permitted on XDA.
Spend the time to read through all of the descriptions of available roms in the dev section. Try a bunch of them out to find one that is right for you. You will learn A TON in this process and it's a great experience.
Getting other people to simply telly ou which rom to use will not help you learn anything.
Currently I'm running NB4 and 4.4.2. I'm running AOSP with Slimkat, and multiple apps to make the S Pen usable again. However, I'm looking to switch to TouchWiz but I'm wondering if there is ROM compatible with my device that has an AOSP theme. Or perhaps the UI is just different enough to not look like TouchWiz. I'm trying to get full S Pen Support just like stock, so those apps need to come with the ROM. Also if it's debloated that would be great too in addition to having 4k recording and a great camera app.
I've looked around in our forums but need some suggestions, this isn't a which is the best thread, it's looking for TouchWiz ROMS that may have different theme options close to AOSP, compatible with my device, and all the features and apps from stock. I was interested in X Note, but apparently it's not supported on our device.
Thank you for your time.
Would this work?
