Which one do you recommend that is close to the stock Rom, thanks.
Your question is confusing, and, like most first-time posters, doesn't include enough information.
What do you want this ROM to do? Do you want a "vanilla" ROM (without TW)? Do you want the stock ROM (stock ROMs for the GT10 all have touchwiz)? If you just want a stock ROM, why not just go with the one thats on your GT10 now? If you want a custom ROM, you need to say what you want it to do to get recommendations.
Bah, just look in the development section. There's only 4 or 5 ROMs there. If you don't know what you want then just pick one and try it.

Though it cannot be said close to the stock ROM, I suggest Galaxy Task ROM
Galaxy Task is the only one not themed so it is more like stock Touchwiz than other ROMs.
There are only 2 ROMs in the Dev section that are not Touchwiz and they indicate that. Alterbridge, Task650, and DutchDanny all have created awesome Touchwiz ROMs based on the current release of Honeycomb 3.2. Out of the 3, Task does not theme his anymore and is actually done by bOOsted in a separate thread. Dutchdanny released KMN stock without theme that you can check out.
Both are great and really it is up to you which to keep after flashing them.
Is there a reason it HAS to be stock? Just curious...

You need to read the Litening ROM thread to find out about TouchWiz. I believe it does have it, but I've never used it so am note sure.
If you want widgets, search here...
http://market.android.com/
You can remotely install from that site, so it's easier than browsing on the phone.

Try Batista70 2.4 + speedmod kernel K2-16...
Allow me to quote myself:

It gets asked all the time, and as one might expect, you'll just get replies from people saying "I use x ROM with y kernel and I recommend it because z".
There is no suitable answer to your question, instead I would recommend you take a deep breath and have a read through what's already been written and decide for yourself what to pick.

what are the differences between each other?
I have been using VillainROM for ages now, have tried the rest but keep going back to VR. Best battery and closest to stock (I don't normally theme).
However, your question is a bit subjective, everyone looks for different things in a ROM.
Best way is to try a few and see which you prefer.

Try Batista70 2.4 or 2.5. the best of the best!
I suggest you learn how to flash and try out a newer deodexed stock like KJ2, then start flashing customs if you don't like the behaviour of stock roms. Usually stock are very good with the right kernel.

Hardcore's SpeedMod K2-15 is pretty sweet. Give it a search up top ^
In my opinion HyperDroid-Androidmeda is one of the best ROM's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288850
For sure it's worth to try. Some people were able to get over 6h display on this ROM
I recommend checkrom revolution v1 with cf root or speedmod and bigbanghds ICS theme. Looks nice, fast, good battery, mostly stable.

Hi,
I really want to get pure ics on my galaxy s II. Currently i'm on 2.3.4 gingerbread, unrooted.
I have asked a few questions about how to root my phone, and found a pretty straight forward tutorial, that users on xda have said is great to follow:
jayceooi.com/2011/08/04/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-with-cf-root-video
Rooting the phone appears to be pretty straight forward using the above tutorial, but finding the correct rom is what im not so sure about.
Users on xda have told me to use:
forum.xda developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 , to find a rom, specifically the ones just above ++++++ [Frankenstein Firmwares] +++++++
The only problem is, how do i know which one to use, i gather its going to be the 4.0.3 roms, but there are so many varients for different countries, which one is for me?
Does it matter which one i choose? Is there differences between them?
*I have previously posted this thread elsewhere, and members have told me to resubmit it here, as I may get more help. I couple of forumers have mentioned that I should use the xwlp4 ROM as it is the latest ICS ROM.
Thanks,
By pure ics do you mean ics without touchwiz etc or do you mean a stock Samsung rom?
The Frankenstein ones on intratechs thread are Samsung based.
If you want pure ics without any of the Samsung bloat cm9 is a great option and is already 4.04
If you want Samsung based then the latest is lp4 I think.

If this is the case forget all the ROMS in Intratechs section, even the Frankenstein ones as they are all samsung originals with all the samsung apps and touchwiz.
If you are looking for a root / pure ICS option CM9 is a good start with terrific dev support. I've been using it for a while now and it really is rock solid and keeps improving.

ok cool, would that be the equivalent of something like this:
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ro-ics-rom-v-1-1-on-galaxy-s2-i9100-best-rom/
Not used that one myself but looks to be closer to the pure ics you are after.
I'd still give cm9 a try. There is a resurrection edition flashable through Odin.
Definitely preferable to the Samsung official ones!

I currently use this ROM. It has Apex Launcher so no Touchwiz, but it does have Samsung apps.
Although I'm no fan of TW or any of these apps, the ROM itself is great.
Go for HyDrOG3N-ICS with Siyah Kernel Best rom and kernel combo you're going to find out there for PURE ICS and lots of customization. It's stable, fast and really good battery life.
Hi everyone, can someone point me out where I could find an ics stock rom that doesn't have touchwiz?
All the versions that I've found are custom, but I would like to try one that hasn't been messed around by Samsung. I really want to try out ICS with the original look.
Regards
I'm lost, you want a samsung stock rom -because you have a samsung device- without the samsung's touch?
I want Android 4.0.4 without the touchwiz interface, isn't that possible?
well...you're talking custom now....but I think you don't want custom...lol that's the thing.
Maybe I didn't explain myself properly in the first post, i basically want a version of 4.0.4 with the normal look. So yes it ends up being a custom :laugh:
I thought there was a stock version of ICS (from another manufacture) that would work on the GSII, therefore not having touchwiz.
I got what you said. I'm trying to make you see what you're asking for.
You want ICS, 4.0.3.
You don't want TouchWiz
You don't want a custom ROM.
You have a Samsung device.
You want a Stock Samsung ROM.
Samsung uses touchwiz on it's ROMs

This is probably the closest you can get to stock Android..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076650
Alternatively you could try Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS) or 10 (JB). They are based on pure android (AOSP) but have lost of tweaks and features and are generally much better then stock AOSP.

When I said "stock" I didn't meant a stock rom from samsung, I presume that there is a stock version of Android 4.0.4 (the one I was referring to) and then Samsung changed it with touchwiz.
I didn't (past) want customs since I presumed that there was an official stock version of Android without touchwiz for the GSII, apparently there isn't, so I ended up asking for a custom rom without knowing it was the only way of having what I want.
So to sum up:
I want ICS 4.0.4 (or 4.0.3, don't know the difference)
I don't want Touchwiz
That's it, sorry for the confusion
TheATHEiST isn't that rom Jelly Bean? My battery is already taking a beating with ICS, JB will probably last a lot less right? Although i'm already undervolting and underclocking

@OP There's no confussion, what you want is a custom rom, because you have a SAMSUNG device, and samsung devices, when in STOCK ROMs, always have TouchWiz attached.
Here's an example:
Samsung releases ROM (TouchWiz included of course)
John Q takes that ROM and deletes TouchWiz.
John Q now has a Samsung ROM without TouchWiz. Also Called CUSTOM ROM.

Hello. I have Galaxy S3 (not carrier version, international), rooted. Now I want to install just clean Android 4.2 (with no bloatware, changes, etc).
1) Is it possible? Without installing stock or custom ROMS. Just clean Android 4.2
2) If I have to install custom ROMS anyway - which of them closer to clean Android 4.2 (without bloatware or modification). Which one to choose and where to get right instruction for newbies?
Thank you very much for helping me!

If you are talking about stock 4.2 check the development section, a few 4.2.2 roms out there as for instance SlimBean or Liquid, with other words you cannot get 4.2 direct from Google.
If you are talking about Samsung 4.2, there is only a leak at the moment in the general section's leak thread.
Can we please clarify something?
Stock means what the phone has as stock, i.e, out-of-the-box. Stock to the S3 is Samsung Touchwiz. AOSP would be Vanilla. It is stock on some phones, but not this one.
I think we need to make this distinction before we go on.
So what is it exactly that you want?
If it's as close to vanilla as you can get, Slimbean may be a good bet. It's unlikely you'll get anything without any changes.

hence I guess you mean AOSP, good that you confirmed.
the process of flashing is the same as with other roms and described e.g. in the SlimBean thread (only special thing is to flash the gapps package).
which one to choose is up to you, we don't know what you like . just try them and see for yourself. in my experience, Slim Bean & Liquid do not differ that much anyway.

AOSP is google's android open source project. Android is open source. When they create a new Android version (4.2.2) that is vanilla (like Nexus), they release the source code so developers (Hobbiests at XDA) or OEM's (Like Samsung and HTC) can compile the source code into a ROM for a device.
AOSP ROMs released by XDA developers etc, are all close in look at feel to Google's android releases on the Nexus devices.
OEM ROMs usually heavily modify this code to make it unique to them, therefore becoems a selling point for their brand
Now it's clearer. But which AOSP ROM to choose? Do they have rating? Which is more stable, bugfree and relaible? Do they have OTA update without necessity to wipe data (like Samsung stock one)?
For close to vanilla, try the recommendations given in this thread. We can't tell you which is "best" as its against forum rules. Everyone is different.
Some have OTA. Most don't. If you're going from rom x version 1 to rom x version 2, you shouldn't need to wipe.
If you're going from rom x to rom y, you will need to wipe

Which ones have OTA? If the ROM does not have OTA, how to update the firmware? Via ODIN, but without wiping data after update?
None of the simple ones have OTA.
OTA is predominantly a stock thing.
With custom roms (vanilla or stock) you download the rom, put it on sd card and flash via recovery.
Please read the roll up sticky thread in general
