Can someone make a touchwiz based rom with ics stuff, like the gs2 on the europe version.
i thought it looked pretty cool

Hi all,
New to the flashing/rooting/ROM business with the Galaxy S2, so could someone tell me if there is a Stock Android 4.0 ICS ROM for the galaxy S2?
Not the biggest fan of TW, (and I use LauncherPro anyway) so I want to experience full android goodness with the stock 4.0 ROM.
Thanks

LauncherPro also doesn't seem to work well on ICS, as one of my workmates discovered today. Constant force closes and crashes.
Do we know if there will be an update on the current touchwiz following the ICS release? Ive played around with the stock ICS and noticed the same touchwiz as on gingerbread. I hope samsung release a new touchwiz with a new face to it!!!
I like bits of touchwiz, but some other bits i dont like!
Please samsung release something good
I certainly hope so. I only recently flashed a custom ROM on my phone as I was waiting for orange UK to release their ICS update but after seeing a review of the ICS touchwiz update I wasn't all that impressed as it just looks the same! I suppose this is because a large proportion of phone users wouldn't appreciate a huge change to how their phone works all of a sudden. I have the HyDrOD3N-ICS rom and I like it. Just a few issues with my battery life after flashing this ROM but pretty sure i've sorted it now by changing some settings.
I would imagine we won't see any big changes to touchwiz until the GS3 is released
I doubt you'll ever see any dramatic TouchWiz upgrade on the S2, just as there was never any large update on the S1.
I can't imagine base users would appreciate a massive graphical overhaul to their phone after they've just become acquainted with the setup. If you're not happy with the TW Launcher, just install a third party launcher - plenty to choose from.
Or if you want to stick with the TW Launcher, wait for the S3 w/ TouchWiz 5.
Hi everybody
Recently I noticed a large interest in the subject custom ROM for Mega. Especially a lot was written about the AOSP. Please express, what do you expect after installing such ROM and why you do not like TW?
Another thing are stock ROM's stripped of almost all s-apps and other software deemed unnecessary in order to recover memory. Please share your opinions on the advisability of such action. Did you really needed all this reclaimed memory?
-reserved-
I expect most of the new features for S4 and Note 3 to be available in this ROM.
I still dont know if we can expect full 4.3 update. Some web sites claim that Mega wont receive this "Premium package" update whatever that means. I dont think that Mega 6.3 is a mid class smartphone and it would be plain stupidity if we stay out of good updates. So very important part for a custom RoM is the availability of the latest Samsung goodies from the flagman like S4 for instance.
Also I think that TW is not so bad, I like its interface.

Hmm, I was asking about expectation towards AOSP custom ROM-s as such CM or MIUI. As you probably know, many futures in Samsung stock ROM depends heavily on TW. Massive striping stock Samsung ROM from all s-apps could even cripple your phone. But installing AOSP ROM will means clean-out all samsung dependencies, so there will be not possible to run futures from S4 or GN3. maybe I'm wrong, let somebody correct me.
I think so TW is not so bad either and was curious why some people are so opposed to it. I was user of Motorola Defy which actualization stops on Android 2.3 so custom ROM's were only alternative. Now I am not so eager to strip my Mega to bare AOSP.
Yeah I missed the point of AOSP rom a little bit, but I strongly believe that a Samsung device without TW loses its advantages. I've been using Galaxy S with AOSP for a long time but I was forced to do it because of the lack of updates after 2.3.6
Samsung says that the new 4.3 update will bring new and fast TW without lags and constant refreshing. This makes me think that porting the new SW is better than Aosp roms. Of course there should be some roms based on CM cause many people preffer stock android instead of customized one.
I just want CM because it allows you to port MIUI v5. I have always been a fan of MIUI roms.
Hey everyone, just got my htc one and I'm loving it. I plan on rooting soon and I want to try some ROMs but I don't know where to start. I'm coming from a galaxy s4 running hyperdrive. I really didn't like touchwiz, but cyanogen lacked a little too much galaxy s4 specific support for me. So far I like sense a lot better so I would like to try some sense based ROMs but like I said, I don't really know where to start (this is my first htc). Any recommendations for sense based ROMs that have great performance and feature tweaks?

I'm using SkyFall deodex. I came from Galaxy S3, really enjoying this phone. Not a lot of feature tweaks just yet but you can install Xposed Framework and get a lot of mods, check out Gravity Box and Sense 6 Toolbox. I know that a popular S3 developer is working on a new rom and he's pretty legit. SkyFall is stable, fast, and good battery life for me, but that's just my 2 cents.

I'm using ViperOne. Once you try it, you'll never want to flash another ROM again! It's sense based, and had more tweakable things than I've seen in any other ROM.

I think this is the best Roms.
I know this sounds weird but I have an old Galaxy S3 that I'm giving to my mother. It will be her first smartphone so I really don't want to complicate my life or hers. I'm also giving my father my old Optimus 4X running ICS (also his first smartphone). I'll be teaching them how to use them, and providing support, so I'd rather have them on the same Android version instead of getting "why doesn't my phone do this?" all the time. Also, last I checked, the Samsung-based JB roms for the S3 were horribly slow.
The S3 is rooted, and I have been looking at the ROM section and all I can find are JB and KK roms, no ICS. Is there any lightweight Samsung ROM (because stock Android has some issues on the S3 and I can't deal with that) based on ICS that you would recommend?
Thanks in advance

afaik ics roms on s3 do not have the sudden death fix, and therefor are not recommended. imagine what would happen if your mother's "new" phone goes off and never switches on again
so better use a jb 4.3 rom if you want it to be stock. debloated they are quite fast.

You can also get JB on your old LG device so that your mother isn't confused. It should work just fine, mainly if your parents aren't using their device at their full potential (like, if they only use it for texting, phone calls, etc, you can free up some space and get faster by uninstalling most of the unused apps). But I think too that JB has several fixes that are quite handy (like the sudden death fix).
