Don't believe that such a thing exists. Samsung never released one, and since Honeycomb was never released to AOSP, the dev's couldn't/didn't create one. There are a couple of 3.1 stock roms, and the 3.2 TW roms have skins plus lots of information on swapping out the samsung apps. I just switched to a TW rom myself and am pleasantly surprised actually. Minor annoyances but no big deals.

the two things that bother me in TW is the calendar week view and also the sound on stock player and throughout system has been significanatly reduced, if you compare to stock...I watch a lot of movies and barely hear the sound when watching a movie on highest sound...I don't and never liked TW...

Can't help you on the calendar, although I believe that you can swap the stock apk for the TW apk. Not sure how that works. Re the sound, if you get a ROM/kernel that can do Voodoo, that will solve your problems. Makes it sound better too

Hi, wasn't sure whether to post this here or in development, so feel free to move it if necessary
I'm currently running Villainrom 12 and love it, but I'm the type of person that Constantly likes to upgrade, and gets bored of things rather quickly.
I've noticed villain have now got a 2.2 ROM out, but my only worry is that it does not include Sense UI. Can someone please point out the main differences between having the Sense UI and not?
and possibly conclude with there opinion on whether i should stick with Sense, or bin it for the new improved 2.2 Rom...?
cheers for any advice.

I believe you've answered your own question
but while I'm always looking for something new, I also want it to be Improved .
Ive flashed many ROM's before (Mainly Villain) and all Include Sense, but just want some advice on whether I should switch.
just some opinions and maybe a comparison of features/usability would help.
Could even start a small debate about the 2 different types of ROM's .
I've tried different Roms since Sept 2009, but I've always found stock ones are the most stable. I'm currently using stock 2.1 found un villain forums with a2sd and root. Very fast and with sense. Vanilla Roms tend to drain the battery very quickly. I'm a very heavy phone user and at work coverage is poor. Try them out, you might disagree with me. Oh, and let's not compare specific Roms, they're too different to one another.

I also get bored with certain ROMs quite quickly and am changing constantly. I started off with Sense and then moved to Vanilla, have been back to Sense and then back again. I'm currently running Vanilla as like the look and feel of it. However I am thinking of going back to Sense, once I can find a good theme as I personally dislike the stock Rosie theme. That's the one thing that puts me off. That said the integration with Facebook and the widgets are a big plus. I know there are other apps and Launchers out there that can do similar things but not quite sure the integration is as good.
Another thing is that Sense UI was designed for the Hero and that means that with a good sense ROM all the hardware works as it should, meaning the LEDs (for notifications). I find these don't work with Vanilla ROMs as yet, although they're getting there.
If you want a change from Villain check out SenseHero. It looks great and is very fast and stable. The guy who created it is currently working on a newer version also.
God, that was long
I'll preface my post by stating that I'm fairly certain that no stable ROMs yet exist for this device; the only thing I've seen anyone running is CM7, and that still appears to be in development for the E-739.
That said, I'm coming to this phone (temporarily) from an HTC Sensation, which I love dearly. Going back to Gingerbread from a stable ICS ROM is frustrating, to say the least. The interface feels very dated, and I'm not a fan of the dock that LG implemented for the device. I'd like to be able to select which applications are in the dock, as with ICS. Ideally, I'd like to find a compatible ICS ROM. Based on hours of searching, one doesn't exist, but it can't hurt to ask.
So: has anyone had any success getting an ICS ROM on the LG E-739? Or perhaps a passable Gingerbread ROM? I really just need to rid myself of the ludicrous amount of bloatware that currently inhabits my applications folder... Thanks in advance!

Look for this one: Super Video, Floating & Popup in Play store

It feels almost the same.
Wally, I know this isn't a "question" but it definitely doesn't belong in development. Moved it to questions so maybe someone could give you suggestions (like the post above) to have just like the stock player.
Development is strictly related to development. Not general chit-chat, questions, or stating what you miss from something. :highfive:
Thank you sir. :good:
CM always has crap video which is why I never use it. If you are looking for something different from stock try the MIUI beta release, its very good and perfectly usable has a daily driver. As its based on sammy rather than CM everything works, i have even been able to install the note2 transformation pack to get the note 2 cam and gallery.

Gyotit sorry!
I'm considering buying this great phone but TouchWiz makes me really upset. The thought of using it everyday after being used to my Galaxy Nexus interface is not sitting well. So is getting a launcher like Apex or Nova the best way to get a stock look? Or will a custom Rom be best? Are there any Roms currently available with a completely stock look and feel?
Custom ROMs are the best, and many like cyanogenmod or beans can provide the stock feel for you, but while the boot loader is still locked, launchers are the best choice and you also get to keep the Samsung apps, like camera and some gestures and what not

I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus as well, and had AOKP. I picked up an S4 the other day.
So far, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I installed Nova Launcher to get the look and feel of stock back. The free version has an option to use stock icons and my now my home screen itself looks pretty much exactly the same as it did before. The apps, of course, are not stock, and I'm toying with the idea of swapping out the messaging app for the stock one. The contacts app is better than stock in my opinion, and I like having Facebook contact integration back.
The notification bar is similar to AOKP's notification bar, and I am generally not bothered by it. The rest of the stuff that bothers me (pointless bloatware, etc.), are easily resolved after rooting. I also just copied over the notification sounds from my Galaxy Nexus and am just about as happy as I will get.
My two cents, anyway.
Won't the stock Android be ported from the Google version of the S4? That's what I'm hoping for.

^^^ THAT!
There's a couple ROMs out there right now. I'm currently using an unofficial CyanogenMod port, and an official build should be out sometime soon.

I just had a brand new GS3 and have been playing with it quite a lot these past days
I've done many things such as root it, download free paid apps with it, used different launchers with it, etc.
But the latest thing I did, to see what all the fuss was about was to upgrade my GS3 to Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly
I mean a lot of people are doing it so I thought it was all good, well at least at the beginning it seemed to be
I have to say at first glance it seemed like a great deal for me, having a spanking new lockscreen, notification bar, overall stock phone and messaging applications, and a sleek looking camera
Everything looked fine, until I tried out many of the new stuff out...
First of all the new camera was pretty ok but had one major drawback for me, the HDR mode
You see in the original GS3 ROM the cameras HDR mode was like lightning, you wouldn't notice that it takes separate photos to make the unified, balanced exposure photo
While in the new camera you can notice a time delay of something like .2-.5 seconds between each photograph that the camera takes in order to make you new HDR photo
The result? a badly stitched photo because of shaky hands. And even using "great" paid camera apps produced the same results
Next in the phone application itself, it looked nice and dandy until I noticed that the option for video calling totally disappeared...
And can I say video calling is by far one of my most used things in my GS3 if not the most after the texting and normal calls
I mean hey, I can make a video call anytime anywhere without internet isn't that awesome?!?
Well actually those two are my only real problems... the others could be the disappearance of my stock Samsung apps such as S Note or S Memo but those can be easily replaced with similar apps from the Play Store, and of course what other stock Samsung apps that dissapeared were the Samsung App store, S Voice, etc. which I liked to have been taken out
That said the Cyanogenmod ROM for me looked more like a launcher with added features but nothing else more, it did not have much of it's own "original" apps and that was kind of okay I guess
BUT MY CONCLUDING QUESTION IS
are all custom ROMs like this? will they all overwrite my beautiful video calling and camera capabilities or was it just the Cyanogenmod ROM?
I'm looking up into other ROMs like "Universe S4 ROM" or "Imperium ROM" for my GS3 and just wanted to know before I either invest a good amount of time or just waste it if those ROMs will or will not take out the bad and add mroe good to my GS3 especially the "Universe S4 ROM" since it said that it will add apps that are exclusive to the GS4 like the S Translate.
Thanks in advance for the replies!
CM and camera is a well posted problem .
You have to do some research first then decide if what the custom rom offers outweighs the bugs .
The S4 apps are a work in progress some work 100% some fail others have bugs that developers try and solve .
You would be better to stick with a stock rooted rom or even a bare bones stock custom Samsung rom .

You should try glamour s4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258723 by henry
It has nearly all the apps from the galaxy s4 you can get from the aroma launcher ( In recovery)
And my battery life is extended to nearly 3 hours more!

Thank you very much for this!
I'm still wondering if there are custom ROMs that still have the video call and camera the GS3 or are my only options really those bare bones stock custom Samsung ROMs? If so where can I look to have an easier time finding those types of ROMs I need?
And is an GS4 ROM one of those stock rooted ROM or bare bones stock custom Samsung ROMs that you're talking about or is it a totally different ROM already that doesn't have the video call and camera that I'm looking for?
Because I see all of these ROMs and their offers but I don't know where to look within the forums to know if they do or do not have the two simple aspects that I'm looking for.

Thanks too for this!
But as with the other reply I still have the same question.
Can I still make standard Samsung/Android video calls with this one and is the S4 camera that comes with this as good (or better) than the S3 camera?
I really do hope it does and I'll give it a shot!

By default, this ROM comes with S3 camera. You can find the S4 camera in Aroma. But the S4 camera is quite buggy, video recording some other functions are not wroking yet. Henry is trying his best to make it work. I would reccomend you to try Glamour S4 ROM. Brilliantly smooth and excellent.
In my opinion, cyanogenmod is the most overrated rom in the android. Just a little speed improvement and lots of missing features and problems.
You should try roms based on samsung roms.

I do wish to try out ROMs based on Samsung ROMs
I'd like to ask what ROMs would those be?
Or at least what or where should I search to know if the ROMs would be Samsung based?
Are there indicators?
