Hi everyone,
I have replaced my old GS3 with a GS5 and now would like to use it solemnly for playing music. I will never use it as a phone ever again!
So right now the phone has had all the OTA updates and is crappy slow. I'd like to install a custom ROM that would be very performant on the music part, and with no bloatware. Obviously if the ROM has issues with text messages/phone functions etc I don't care.
Also, I have just purchased a FiiO E18 (an android external amp/dac) and will be using that to process the music.
Can anyone recommend a ROM or anything I should do to my GS3?
Thanks in advance,
- Cascius
Sound is definitely better on TouchWiz... Maybe the BareBones ROM by metalfan78 might suit you, but it's ultimately up to you to do the research and find what's closest to what you want. Look through the Android Development section.

You can always install viper4android. It has excellent sound quality, with many customization options.

You could just download a stock touchwiz ROM, and remove anything phone related (the phone and texting app) and the other touchwiz bloatware so all your left with is the play store, some other app (calander, alarm, etc. The essentials), and the music app. It will basically be a mini tablet.

Fellow members I have flashed about every Rom available for the inc and still end up with the same issue. I've tried new kernels and roms including cm, ud, virtuous, all of Lou's, and now miui 12/3.
It all boils down to install Rom. Set all apps up. Finally get around to using the camera and after I take the first pic and close the app, upon opening it again my screen turns colors ranging from pink to white. Only way to fix is reflash. Swell bc its everyday.
Help please.

Try another camera
Have you tried another camera?
In the Virtuous section of ROM manager, Extra Goodies section, there is an Evo Camera - try that.
Absent that working, is there something on the camera lens and/or is it compromised somhow - eg - did it get wet, is it cracked, etc...
I've tried that too. Still same results. It was the phone. Later that day it wouldn't boot and VZW sent me a new phone. Problem solved I guess

I just want a rom that does 3 things.
1. Removes all bloatware
2. Speed up my phone (almost all my applications lag badly all the time)
3. Improves battery life.
Also I have over 80 apps installed and arranged in just the way I like it. I spent like 2 hours arranging the apps Is there any way to save them and their positions when I get a ROM. I am coming straight form the stock firmware and not a different rom.
Also I really love the way my home screen looks. Will I be able to replicate this exact home screen on the rom? I have attached an image of my home screen. It's nothing fancy just apps and widgets and a live wall paper.

Install Root 66 via ODIN and remove the bloat you don't want. I only responded cause of the music you listen to.
Honestly all touchwiz rom listed in the developed forum will do. Ifnunwant to remove more bloatware use one of the bloatremovals...

Hello folks!
I'm looking for a music player app near to Samsung's TW stock app. I don't care about any "features" or options etc.
All I want are the letters on the right side to make scrolling for a specific artist/album easier.
Since I'm on CM and Samsung's app won't work without the Touchwiz framework I was wondering whether one of you know a small cute music app with this "letter scrolling" feature.
If you don't know what I mean look at the right of the attached picture.

Hey*XDA, first time posting, long time follower here. I followed the*tutorial*from @hsbadr*to get CyanogenMod 13 on my Verizon Note 4(here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=3253973), and it is working flawlessly! But having been on CM13 for a little over a couple months, I am beginning to miss my S-Pen*functionality. I've been doing some research, and can't seem to find a solid working example of getting the S-Pen to function (not expecting 100% functionality, of course). From what I could gather, the S-Pen's functionality is tied in with Touchwiz, but I didn't know if there any ports from the stock ROM that runs independently of Touchwiz.*
Similarly, I've been missing the amazing functionality of the stock camera app back when I was running 5.1.1, but again I understand (or at least I believe so) that the camera app actually depends on Touchwiz. I've been using Open Camera for a while, but seriously miss the built in functionality that the stock app provided. Have there been any developments or workarounds for this? I realize there's more than likely little to nothing that can be done while running CM13, but I figured I'd ask! Also, for those curious, I've provided a screen shot of my system information. Thank you!
