I'm looking for a rom that is similar to the Look of MIUI (obviously nothing will be very similar) but maybe something resembles it in some ways. I've recognized that there are 2 tpos of roms, the ones that follow the generic, gingerbread frame, or ICS frame (aokp, unamed, phonebricker, ICSrewed, CM7/9 etc.) and then MIUI, who kinda does their own design. I've been partial to MIUI ever since I laid my hands on it.
Reason why I'm asking for a look-a-like is because I've been running the scottish one for some time (1.11.9) but she's had the no service bug issue for some time now where everytime I attempt to make a call, 80% of the time it'll lose service and it takes like 4 tries or so till my call goes through. Unacceptable. Yet I can't keep myself away from the build. It's just so speedy. Wish I could have a more recent build for my I777 but I can't find one anywhere. I've also tried a million builds for the regular MIUI, 2.2.3 V2 being the most recent one I could find (I believe that's the most recent? I literally searched for hours), but this build also has the same call service drop bug. Can't stand it.
Can anyone help with my situation? Currently running MIUI V4 ICS, and it's sweet and all but it's wrecking my brain with how slow it isss . Anything similar to MIUI or help with a fix or newer version. Mucho appreciated!!!
Btw I'm no noob to flashing, have flashed at least 20 different roms and all, just wondering if there is anything I missed...in terms of what I'm looking for. Cus I hate settling.

Yeah I'm really looking for more than just a launcher though. I'm already aware of the creation of MIUI launcher and that's sweet but it doesn't encompass settings themes and notification draw down etc. I'm not super picky about that but I'd prefer everything to be uniform...so not gonna go with that method.
LewaOS is something i I'd call pretty similar to MIUI. Lilchris has a post of it in ported section.

Hey thanks a lot for the feedback! I knew someone had to have an idea of something with relatively theme intensive design.

Duddeeeeeeeeee. Just went back through it and found AdyScorpius' version of MIUI. I'd gone through that before but I guess I missed this version. If it's anything like Galnet I'm gonna be soooooo happy. I'm gonna flash it now!! So excited hahah. I'm a speed freak, need my lag free interface, otherwise I get annoyed >.>
Thanks bro! Hope this rom isn't bug ridden. Seems very illegitimately put together, but all the people commend it! We'll see.

Hahah idk, I was reading up on all these bugs that I haven't really heard of in the general MIUI builds. I'm using it though and it's snappy pappy. Except going back from a conversation message, to just the conversation list. It reverts quickly, but the text doesn't load as quick as the transition. Annoyanceeeee lol. Idc though...sorta. Is good though. Is real good. Wondering if it's worth bumpin up to ICS V4 cus I didn't realize RIUI and AdyScorp were making roms like this. Trying to decide whether upgrading is worth the stupid notification swipe or not. So annoying.

MIUI sucks because it is so slow and in development. The only thing that is great about it is it's interconnected community and even app. Which is all JUST SHOW if you know how to flash your own ROMs.
If you want speed, battery, and best overall flawlessness I suggest: shostock!

I have nothing against all the Samsung Touchwiz based Roms. I just plain don't like em. I have two things that I need personally, and that is speed, and an appealing look/design. Although CM7/CM9 can have a...functional/sophisticated look to them, they aren't quite as unique and sophisticated as the MIUI themes. Namely, CM is all very square and proper, while MIUI seems to be a little more accommodating if you will. I like to speed through things, and I'm particular about the way I do things. For example: when texting someone I like to send a text, then go back to the conversation list, so that when I get a new text I can see who it was from. I used UnNamed rom for a little bit (a month maybe) - and also tried ShoStock because I'd heard a lot about that too. I flashed it, but it basically seemed to be the same thing. Anyway when using unnamed there was obvious lag interface between the message system when I'd press back twice really quick after sending a text (once to close keyboard, once to close keyboard, another to go back to conversation list). MIUI is more smooth in it's transition and seems to have not necesarilly more poignant scirpting but mayhaps faster. I like MIUI's notification bar and status bar. I like how the notifications have a page and I can click my wifi, data, airplane mode, gps, rotation, and brightness all on the same page, without having to swipe left or right to find more. Mostly I'm a fan of the themes of course, since they simply look awesome. If you care so much move to AOKP, it's better than any Samsung Touchwiz Rom I've ever used, for that type of person. I love AOKP, but I can't seem to stand the crude looking toggles/switches, and the damn launcer (all 3 of them). I find app drawers to be very unnecessary (my own personal opinion - plenty of interpretations there). But I'm willing to further discuss this if you want haha. No mean to be insulting but you basically started the engagement
Hey guys. Im not trying to be that guy that bothers everyone Im just looking for a few simple answers and tips. I have always had iphones, I just switched to a S3 due to apple lack of changes. I have been debating on rooting in order to get the super necxus project rom(you can youtube it) What im looking for is good reason on why I should root my s3 and why I shouldnt. I know if I do it will void warrenty ect, That does not bother me. What iam worried about is the phone slowing down, Losing battery life, crashing, and bricking. And lastly whats nightly version mean?
Thanks guys.

First of all welcome to the forums and we'll done for leaving Apple lol.
Nightly is a term given for a Rom that is released every night.mostly new mods and tweaks to improve or intend to improve on from the last nightly.these are seen as betas and every now and again a stable or milestone version will be released.
There is no real reason why you should root. It's whether you want to benefit from having full system control or not that you would do it. It's up to you.
Flashing roms such as super nexus does have its downside as it's built from open source. As Samsung do not release all of their sources some parts are taken from the open source project. This means they do not always take full advantage of the hardware. An example of this is the camera in aosp/aokp/cm roms is not as good as the stock camera in touch wiz roms.
Battery life is also reported to be better in stock Roms than on aokp/aosp/cm and from personal experience I'd have to agree.
Hope this helps a little.
There is a lot that can be done when rooted but if you're not fussed about messing with the system then dont do it.

Rooting on it's own will not brick, slow down or loose battery life etc, it's what you do with the phone after you root that can do this, things like overclocking will affect battery, undervolting and underclocking will affect performance, but what you can do after rooting is things like use faster fix to slightly increase gps fix time, you can block ads, you can modify any system file etc etc, you can essentially do anything.
Latest Nightly is a term used for the latest version of CyanogenMod, which is an aftermarket firmware (custom ROM) new versions are built on their servers every night hence the name Nightly.

Tank you Drew, The CM10.1, How smooth is that compared to the stock os on my s3?
Aosp looks considerably better than the stock firmwares also known as TouchWiz (Samsung's ghastly user interface)
But aosp-based roms for this phone sucks plain abs simple because Samsung doesn't hand out the source code for their SoC (System on a chip)

CM10.1 is very smooth and in my opinion even smoother compared to Stock TouchWiz. Just flash it and if you for some reason don`t like it, you can always go back to a Stock TouchWiz ROM. There are plenty to choose from here at XDA. Oh and don`t ask what`s the best ROM around here, just try them out yourself
Oh and if you deside to Root and to flash a ROM on your device then read every little detail on how to do it. I`ve seen plenty of cases here, where people screwed up their devices because they flashed wrong stuff on their phone.

It is smooth but as theshawty had pointed out it's not as good as it could be due to Sammy.
If you want a mix of both worlds you would do better looking for a stable stock based Rom and then theming it to suit. There isn't much to gain from flashing cm atm. If you want the launcher just download nova, apex or halo as these are the same as stock Google launcher used in cm builds.

Rooting itself does not do much difference unless you flash roms. I suggest you try Cyanogenmod, AOKP for starters. Then you can go with others like RootBox, PAC man ROm or ParanoidKangdroid which for me are the best there are. Other ROMs like Carbon and Liquidsmooth are pretty good too.
I suggest you download Goomanager first and browse between compatible Roms. Also learn how to do Nandroid backups and regular. Trust me, you're gonna need them.

As mentioned in previous posts cyanogen based roms FOR S3 in my opinion are not as smooth as expected. If u install a custom samsung based rom and a good kernel, i find that they are as smooth or sometimes smoother than cyanogen. Also the latest full stock samsung roms and kernels are really smooth and battery friendly.
As u dont have an issue in rooting. u should try all roms n decide.
And rooting does have many benefits. Especially the audio mods will completely change the audio quality of your phone. ACID with boeffla sound control is amazing. Get good quality earphones also to experience this.
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 .

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.

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?

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.

If you want(not wants) that notification bar,the best solution is to buy a Touchwiz UX 2 enabled Samsung device(as the S4).

I'm not being "harsh", I'm being realistic. People buy phones they want and phones they CAN afford. They didn't settle for less because they were forced to. I appreciate the gesture of replying but if you really are a serious enthusiast about android then you wouldn't say that. Although I can't agree that the best solution is to buy a newer-gen device just for a feature that can easily be replicated. I can do the same on PAC-ROM with NO code changes and just a few PNGs to make the "look" as for making it work for STOCK 4.1.2, Here's what I got: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315342
You're Welcome. The title says it's for GB but someone made it work for ICS(4.0+) which has a similar code base to JB(4.1) I'm not sure but that's what the OP has posted. The OP also said that he may be supporting JB 4.1 "soon" I can only speculate because I haven't tried it firsthand because I have no free time.

You're Welcome. The title says it's for GB but someone made it work for ICS(4.0+) which has a similar code base to JB(4.1) I'm not sure but that's what the OP has posted. The OP also said that he may be supporting JB 4.1 "soon" I can only speculate because I haven't tried it firsthand because I have no free time.

You are right,I'm not an Android enthusiast,that's why I'm the one who's realistic.Even with those code and .png changes,these don't look like on a device that supports natively that feature(not so polished).That's why,by comparaison, the best solution is to get a device that supports natively that feature(only if you have money).And he made that guide for JB 4.1.2 too.
I wasn't replying like an iPhone owner,but to get a feature to look perfectly like S4's,for example,is hard,because that feture is originaly made by a team of developers that are paid to make it work and look very good.
I will try when i'm back from vacation

Hey
I'm looking for Google edition ROMs. Is there a website where Google serves their ROMs? I've searched but couldn't find anything. I also searched on XDA but couldn't find it.
Anyone know where to download their ROMs?
Thanks,
Steala
If you are talking about AOSP from Google the Galaxy S3 isn't a part of that program, the S4 however is, if you want a stock-looking ROM I recommend SuperNexus ROM or Cyanogenmod
As above, there's no google edition for SGS3. Your best shot is latest CyanogenMod and Paranoid Android GAPPS (Full nexus package).
Thanks guys!

There is an unofficial Google Edition ROM for S3. Try Ultimarom. It's based on Samsung firmware, but with AOSP elements and theme. You get the AOSP experience without losing the Samsung camera and multiwindow implementation.
Regards.

Totally not what he's looking for, even partially.

Considering the Google Edition ROMs found on the S4 and HTC One are essentially skinned versions (hybrid style) of those devices' stock ROMs, I think it may partially be what he is looking for. I mean, he makes no mention of AOSP, so how you could deduce that my suggestion is totally not what he is looking for is beyond me.
Anyway, hope OP finds what he is looking for!

For me Google Edition is pure AOSP, without Sammy's features, as it would be pointless to call it google edition then.
But that's just my definition, maybe we have different ones.
Agreed with archi. The one that actually gets closest to google roms is supernexus

Gotta chime in here... I'd agree with Archi. On my S4, I'm running the Google Edition ROM, because I don't want/need any of Samsung's stuff.
But that said, I've done my best to ensure that UltimaROM is as slim as you want it to be, including running many AOSP apps natively.

OP can try slimbean or carbon, but I'd not recommend it. If you want pure google feeling, you can try cm, but nothing else. They are worthless, unfortunately: laggy, slow, draining battery, and tbh offers nothing. And maybe we have the same problem: we want a ROM that works great, fast, but has some features. I don't need the samsung bloatware either. (But I like tw and the tw camera)
You should try the miui rom by ihackers. It's not AOSP (Google "feeling"), but a beast, no battery draining, no samsung bloatware and the UI is beautiful. I think it's worth a try.
If you're looking for the pure google feel only, please ignore my post.

I think your post needs ignoring in general - because it's full of crap.
<=> minimal

I know Kryten2k35, never said that your build is bad, because we both know that it's great .
However it's the same as "Hey, I want MIUI on my SGS3", "Suuure here you got CM 10.2 and MIUI theme from here, enjoy!"
For me google edition is google edition, pure AOSP and nothing else.

Okay, sorry.
cm draining my battery, but miui don't. (performance tweaks)
To be really honest with you all, I am not at all too technical when it comes to Android, ROMs and all the rest, so when you say AOSP, I don't have too much of an idea as to what you mean. But, I heard about Google edition ROMs and I know it comes without the Samsung bloatware. But there are a few Samsung features I still want.. Like, NFC, S Beam etc...

Read general > sticky roll-up thread > understanding the basics before rooting. Got everything you need to know and also includes a glossary which explains what aosp means
Nfc is not a samsung feature.

Yep, I agree with you Again, tis why I run the GE ROM on my S4. I don't really want the instability of Cyanogen (potential) and I just want stuff to work.
I'm working on something cool for the S3, though Hopefully I can pull it off.
The most "google edition" ROM I know is SuperNexus, which is now at version 3.0, Android 4.3
