When I had my S2 there was a ROM that was built on Touchwiz but had stock features and apps integrated - such as messages, calendar, launcher...and all obvious Touchwiz features removed. This is the best of both worlds for me.
Is there a simple stockified Touchwiz based ROM for the S3, or is there a reason that this isn't possible?
There is such a dizzying array of ROMs on here that it's hard to know where to start looking for such a thing!
Thanks guys.
I run UltimaROM, It' based on on stock JB but themed like the AOSP one. Also it has Aroma installer and you can customize allmost everything you can imagine!

You can try Anroid Revolution HD

I would also suggest UltimaRom. You can install whatever you like with the help on AROMA.
I have removed touchwiz from my s3 and removed many default applications . Now my phone is faster than ever. It's completely customised and I love it.

hi, i have sg2! and im using a rom which doesn't have the touchwizz customization!m im asking if i can have all the beautiful stuffs of sg2 touchwizz in this rom; ( contacts, dialer, sms, etc...) or a theme would be sufficient??!
thks and sorrrrrrrrrrrry
i'm guessing that you have an AOKP rom or so.
i think that the hole point of those room is to get as far from samsung as posible, so i think you'll not be able to found a ported touchwiz.
though there many aokp roms with similar themes. this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27619632#post27619632 has an LG launcher with the same icons of touchwizz...
but apps and stuff are not the same as samy' s one...
i guess you'll have to live with it, or go back to stock roms...or modifyed sammy roms..in that case i recomend you Darky roms...are pretty good
Touch Wiz UX has been ported from the GS3, I have used it on AOKP based Resurrection Remix, in fact it comes with it.. Nice launcher. You can Download it here:

Does anyone know when there going to incorporate the Samsung apps into the JB builds? Like the Smemo and its S-pen functions (ex//double tap on screen to open note) or will there be an alternative with the S-pen functions created?
Try Paranoid Android ROM...it has S-Pen functions...

CM 10 Problems..
Anyone know of plans to incorporate S Pen apps/features into CM 10? I'm loving this ROM except for that.... I used S Memo all the time when I was stock... :crying:
The original S-Memo functions work only in TouchWiz. You can try some ICS TouchWiz-based rom like Padawan, Nebula (I tried both and they work), Black Ice and other stock/UCLF6 based roms.
Some JB roms have incorporated pen gestures, but it is not the same experience. And this is the reason that I decided to move away from JB roms for now.
Try out Blackstar X and you may not want JB.
With 2 versions of voice search and new Android keyboard with gestures. Ran a few days, ZERO hiccups. Mighty fine indeed.

That's what I hear all of the time is to go back to ICS with tw but I really would like job with tw which is the reasoning for this thread. Although black star is a great ROM, ran it for a day or 2, job is a lot better because its just so buttery smooth hahaha and s memo and that butter smoothness with the other tw features will be awesome. Its just no one has ported any for some reason. You would think someone would convert an international ROM or a galaxy s3 one..

At the moment, there is no TW based JB rom.
It won't happen until an official JB rom is released.
There are many, many people wanting TW on JB, including me. It has been asked before by many and the answer is no. Either go back to ICS with TW or live with JB as it is.
Ok guys, so this is my situation.
I decided to go with the s3 instead of the nexus as I was happy to run a custom ROM and get the hardware benefits of the s3.
Brilliant device, my problem is though that I love my 10.1 cm experience but really miss some of the little features of touchwiz.
Does anyone know of a ROM that has the sexy 4.2 jb vanilla feel but with some sneaky touchwiz features under it. Alternatively are there any mods or apps i could use to get the same effects?
Thanks a lot guys and look forward to seeing your thoughts and suggestions.

What features of touchwiz do you want ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I really fancy having some of the gesture features like tap to top, they are pretty handy. I would also like the ability to use multi window if possible.

Hi guys,
I am looking to try using AOSP ROM for my S3. However, I am in love with some of my Samsung S3 stock application, like the Samsung keyboard and multiwindow?
Is there any possibility to flash these applications to the AOSP ROM? Anyone has the link to get these?
Also, after I flashed to AOSP, can I restore the applications that I have already backed up using Titanium during the stock ROM?
Thanks for your help
Most of the stock apps require TouchWiz framework to work, so no.
1. If I remember correctly, there are some AOSP & SAMMY Hybrid ROM in DEV section, may suit your request.
2. About titanium backup, yes, except system applications, if you wanna backup Sammy applications and restored in AOSP , it won't work as they require TW framework as above poster mentioned

You could try null rom, it's based on Samsung but with aosp look. Otherwise stock Samsung apps will not run in aosp/aokp as they need the TW framework.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
As others have said your only option is a stock samsung rom with the aosp look, I like ultima for this you can have the Nexus 4 launcher and all Sammy features and apps (except S planner month widget that requires touchwiz launcher)

There may be good 3rd party replacement apps. Perhaps if you specify which you're in love with....

Or is there some way to copy the TW framework for AOSP? if you have the access to system files can simply copy / paste the files in the right place?
No because samsung use framework-res AND twframework-res

Would it be possible to theme stock touchwiz 4.1.2 to look like stock jellybean?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Huh?
Stock jelly bean has touchwiz.
Touchwiz is a framework exclusive to Samsung devices. So when you buy a Samsung phone you probably have touchwiz.
There are different versions of jellybean that don't have touchwiz that you can load onto a Samsung device. Like AOSP, AOKP, and many many more!
All roms can be themed. Some are more difficult than others and require more steps to do so.
What rom theme do you like?
Yeah I mean theme a touchwiz rom to look like stock aosp. Is that possible? I have no idea how to theme otherwise I would have tried to myself...

First off AOSP is Android Open Source Project. It's as basic as it gets. It doesn't have touchwiz, sense, or stuff like that. So it doesn't have a theme, it's raw.
If you want to theme the stock samsung rom first you deodex the rom. Then you can theme it. Beginners use xposed framework and various modules. Smart guys on here can decompile and edit code and files. Smart people that don't have the time to edit roms download already theme'd, cool, kick ass roms from here! I'm a noob so I google a LOT and use a combo of both to get what I like.
It has a theme... the os isn't freaking invisible stop being difficult.
He wants TouchWiz to look like vanilla android.
The look of stock android (meaning what is shipped on nexus devices) ics and above is called "holo" btw
You'd need a deodexed Rom, then you'd have to get the images from vanilla and place them in the corresponding apks in TouchWiz AND add the double called images into the TouchWiz framework specific apks and change any color Code xmls to holo blue.
If you just want the "look", a temporary solution is you could also install nova (or apex launcher) and then use the jellybean theme for nova or apex. I also froze TW launcher in Titanium Backup and installed the JB keyboard.
I did this after flashing Padawan JB rom, which is a Touchwiz/4.1.2 based rom.
