Hi,
coming from HTC Sensation we had a rom where devs took the HTC ICS base - removed (almost) all HTC Sense parts and replaced them with stock AOSP. The result was a very stable rom that looked,felt and behaved like AOSP without the need for devs to manually fix drivers and other issues.
My question is: Is this possible on Samsung roms? Remove TW and replace (almost) completely with AOSP counterparts? I don't just mean theming the rom, but basically turning stock Samsung into (almost) AOSP/Google.
Sorry if this question has been asked (probably) years ago - just wondering.
HyperGalaxy is probably what your looking for much like hypersensation & VI on sensation, thinks it's just changed to the latest OTA jellybean as base.
Keep meaning to try it but have got fond of paranoid rom & cm10 features and haven't had the time.

exactly, VI was my Sensation rom. I'd love something like that. Will look into HyperGalaxy. Thanks.
if you would go to the dev section and read the rom names you will find the answer to your question.. All the roms that are AOSP have AOSP written in their names. like the supernexus rom, hypergalaxy, liquid jellybean, and all the other AOSP roms. there are also AOKP, CM9/X, and PA roms for this phone...you can find all of them in the dev sections
thanks for asking this. i too came from the sensation and was on Hypernonsense. will check out hypergalaxy

Well, too bad, it seems like latest 1.0.2 version includes touchwiz now . I may still try it.
U realize that touchwiz is much more than a launcher? If u want to replace launcher just download another one from market and use it

any ROM that is AOSP-themed like hypersensation for the S3? HyperGalaxy is not, still using stock theme. CodecROM's theme is only half-AOSP and it looks fugly
For a completely AOSP ROM try SuperNexus. Its brilliant.

I'd love aosp. Waiting for mem leak fix first though. That's why I asked about something with Samsung base.

Maybe some devs are just blown away by the options - or maybe they don't think this device is that popular? Blow them away by voting and showing how in demand their services are - and for what!
There is a lot of variety out there right now- and with the official ICS leak these things SHOULD be much more possible, so let me ask you what flavor of ICS do you want the most?
All examples are from vibrant because I have tested all of them on my old phone.. many of the more popular devices have them all.
Ports/official:
Slim ICS - Clean, Simple, and fast - the google way - as barebone aosp as it gets.(Can you say a 75mb download?)
Something like MIUI - A feature heavy nearly total redesign of Android - everything about this type of rom is different - but most of you probably know that. Easily themable in every aspect. Some of the features are here(don't forget it takes advantage of all the new features of ICS)
AOSP(Android open source project) - Either official CM9 or pure AOSP - the stock experience without our blessed "SenseUI" we all have come to love/hate - CM9 of course has some extra features.. and is also easily themable.
AOKP(Android open kang project) - Much like a feature rich version of CM9, while still aiming at a stock experience - if you want to know the differences click here(or check some of the features here)
SenseUI+ - Do you just want modified Senseui with some tweaks? Maybe some root, crt displays, power menu options.. just a stock+ experience? If so go to the development section, it has only been a week yet some good roms seem to be popping up all over(*cough* signature *cough*).
I like stock - HTC and Tmobile decide what I should use, and that's the way I like it! The most I could ask for, if I was feeling risky, is to get a little bit of root. Maybe.
Gingerbread - Damn this new radio! My battery sucks! Life sucks! How dare they leak a rom that isn't even finished! Those @ss&*#(s!
I'm gonna buy a new phone - You guys are noobs, I'm gonna buy a new phone!
If I missed an option, I'm sorry.. send me a PM and I'll see if I can add it to the list- but these are some of the choices out there, maybe help out devs and the potential ones alike by shouting at them all in one place!(rather than in their threads- I'm pretty sure they hate that.)

And yet there is no vote for MIUI? What gives?
I haven't seen that sense4 has enough improvements over 3.6, and then there is the fact that many of those features were integrated into ICS anyways.. is it worth the slowdown?
Now Miui on the other hand has some really original features..
I voted on MIUI after posting. Had it on my HD2 and couldn't wish for anything better!

I've been bouncing between the 2 senseless roms, and I like both of them so far so I vote for anything without sense.
I have cm9 nexus on my HD2 and still cheat on my amaze with it sometimes.

AOSP/AOKP are the same .
AOKP just builds on AOSP. Once you have one you work on the other no ?

My vote went to AOSP and AOKP. I don't care which...I just want one of them!
CM9. Would love to play around with Sense 4.0, though.
I want my Amaze to look and run similar to the Galaxy Nexus.
AOSP!!.. Pleaaaase!..
Sense 4 could be on fire and I'd pee in the other direction to avoid even 1 drop quenching a single flame

Well since 65%(so far) of everyone who voted went with aosp you know your work there will be appreciated!
I'm really surprised more people haven't put in their opinion!
Well I would like an aosp before anything, then bring speed Rom over to it

Greetings,
I don't have the Galaxy Note (yet), but before I pick one up, I've got a few questions about the available ROMS.
1. Which ROM floating around out there is closest to Stock ICS? (I'd be coming from a Galaxy Nexus.)
2. Are there any ROMS that get rid of all the Samsung Custom Apps? Not just TouchWiz, I'll get rid of that with ADWLauncher, but all the customizations that Samsung has done to Messenger, Calendar, etc.
I'm eager to get the Note, but I want to make sure it's easily "De-Samsung-ified" first.
Thanks!

Thanks, That does look good, but I'm a bit apprehensive when I see Beta in the title. Is this what you're using? Can you post screenshots of the Messenging and Calendar apps? The Samsung customizations of those really bother me. I know it's nitpicking, I'm a bit anal with my devices...
It comes shipped with the Samsung apps, there is an aosp app ad on within the roms ota feature.
There isn't a true aosp ROM for the note... Yet.
Thanks @studacris @briand.mooreg for the suggestion. Are there any others, I'm looking for a stable, non-beta ROM to use at first, but once I get confortable with the device, I'll play around with it more.
It's only a beta by name alone. because we, the collective, have much more in store for it.
It's stable as a table.
Once we get official ICS, devs are gonna go ALL out on the ROMs. :thumbup:
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I think until we get source for ICS, any ROM you see available will claim to be an Alpha or a Beta (at developer's decision).
The reality of the situation is that all of the i717 ICS ROMS are based on a leaked ICS build, not something official.

When the source comes out, will it be posted online like Google posts the images for the Nexus devices? I ask because I'm just looking for as Pure an ICS experience as I can get.
I don't even have the Note yet, but I flashed my Galaxy Nexus to AOSP ICS tonight and I'm a bit eager to dive into Android experimenting and maybe eventually cooking up a ROM myself.
Thanks.
try out dagr8s rom its pretty awesome def with the tablet mod
Dude thuer all beta or alpha we have no source codes to make a rc ics rom yet but its coming don't worry and most ics roms out right now are very stable and very nice don't be afraid lol go buy a note and Ice it out

Hi All
I have a UK Galaxy S3 and would like to root and install a clean Vanilla ICS ROM.
Please can someone advise on best method of roooting and which ROM to use?
I'm being cautious as I don't want to brick my phone.
Many thanks in advance.
Do you mean Non-Touchwiz? Because I'm yet to find one that is like that.
I'm also on the look out for a Touchwiz ROM that's been themed to be blue and black like the ICS colours
Yes non touch wiz please as I hate it. Why do these stupid manufacturers spend so much money and resource to create something that is pointless. ICS already has everything anybody could want from a launcher.
I installed cm9 on my S2 and it was epic, I guess cm9 isn't out for the S3 yet?
Thanks
Perhaps you could have a look on the Android and Original Android Development Threads?
I use Omega ROM 9.1
Great and close to stock...

MY problem with using non-Sammy ROM's is a lot of features get lost. I'm after a ROM/theme that's truely ICS themed but totally black and blue like most of the apps. Sammy are just teasing me, because even in stuff like the RAM and Task manager it's blue and black ICS themed but they have this ugly light blue and green battery stuff going on
What sort of features Kryten?

Well for instance in the CM9 ROM it looks like a lot of the camera features are gone. You just have dumb picks "SD, HD 720, HD1080" etc. I dunno. It was the same on my HTC Desire. I had Oxygen on there for the longest time and it was ok, but it didn't have the same functionality as the Sense ROM's (though it was much quicker and more stable which is why I kept it regardless. My GF uses it now and loves it).
I just want one that is touchwiz, but looks exactly like ICS:
This for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397
It's just not compatible with my ROM (and I never had any luck getting it on odex or deodex'd ROM's. There's an update due tomorrow!
Slim ics is built from aosp source with a few choice picks from cm9 and aokp, fast smooth, and good battery, but if you want vanilla ics then you need to buy a nexus

Hey, this is my first post so sorry if its in the wrong place.
I have had my Amaze 4G for about a year and had wanted to experiment with different roms. Unfortunately there are not a lot which I can get to work with radio and tethering. I am with Wind (dont laugh) but only the T-mobile roms seem to work without incident. I had a good experience with EnergyROM but after trying the CyanogenMOD 10 4.1.2 nightlies I have been looking for a rom which has only the very basic apps preinstalled and no gapps. I really like cm10 because I only get what I want but being unstable releases the battery life is really bad. I wanted to post this to see what people are using which fit this criteria or if there is a way to edit the custom rom zips to remove these apps.
Thanks XD
Try venom rom. You can customize pretty much anything. I don't know the current state of tether on this ROM though because I don't really use it.

I saw the dev page for it and it seems like exactly what i've been looking for but the last time i tried installing i ran into issues. Something to do with s-on/off I think. I have no idea how to make set it to off =/
edit: until i get android rev working would it be safe to just open up the energyrom zip and delete all the apks i dont want? I figured for non essentials like facebook and gmail it wouldnt affect much
I am coming from the S3 because of numerous issues. Verizon sent me a DNA and there are a few things I am not pleased with such as losing the SC card slot and removable battery. However, prior to switching from the S3 to the DNA, I had just gotten the 4.1.2. update and the changes were great! When does the update to 4.1.2. come out officially, and is it worth rooting to put a custom ROM with the newest sense 5.0 and the 4.2 update in? Lastly, if I make the jump, because I would like to free up some memory by removing bloatware, is it fairly easy to unroot back to stock? Also, if I root and decide I want to go back to stock when it does go live ( the 4.1.2 or 4.2 rather) can I keep it rooted and still update to the official?
I am not new to rooting and such, being as I have rooted every single phone I have ever had, I am just weighing options before jumping on the root train. Just a little weary because I put a custom ROM in my S3 and the camera stopped working and I couldn't get a solid GPS lock. So I guess another question would be, if I root, which would be the most stable ROM to put in my phone that everything works...
Thanks in advance!!

I was looking into cyanogen being as that is one of the better ROM's I have had in my previous phone. Cyangen is usually the most stable and has the most eye candy. I think I may make the plunge, but does the cyangen have the 4.1.2. with the newest sense?
Go with viper for your first Rom... Everything works and is by far the most customizable. I've tried a lot of different rims but I always seem to go back to viper

I will check it out, although I have used Viper before, but not sure which phone it was. Viper wasn't too bad, but I had GPS locking issues with Viper. Although, it could have just been the phone itself...
