Hello there, this is my first day with my Samsung Galaxy S III. Coming from the Nexus, x user of S1, S2, Note.
On my Touchwiz rom days, When switching between Touchwiz & AOSP roms, used not to be directly successful. So is it the same case on my S III now ? Like when flashing an AOSP rom, when reverting back, what are the required steps? Thank you. Enjoying this device, the display is just AWESOME
all you have to do is make a factory reset in cwm and flash a zipped custom rom or simply put your mobile in download mode and flash the stock rom via odin.
I just flashed CM10 from Stock 4.0.4 Touchwiz rom. So now basically, if I want to flash a Jelly Bean Touchwiz rom, I just flash in CWM? And when I want to go back from Jelly Bean to AOSP, same thing? - Just trying to avoid bootloops and using Odin or such...TY

Yes you can flash back and forth..........just make sure you WIPE WIPE WIPE correctly. so you do NOT have those issues.
believe it or not improper or not fully wiping your phone before flashing a new rom are alot of the reasons why some people have bugs that others do not.
Hi everyone, can someone point me out where I could find an ics stock rom that doesn't have touchwiz?
All the versions that I've found are custom, but I would like to try one that hasn't been messed around by Samsung. I really want to try out ICS with the original look.
Regards
I'm lost, you want a samsung stock rom -because you have a samsung device- without the samsung's touch?
I want Android 4.0.4 without the touchwiz interface, isn't that possible?
well...you're talking custom now....but I think you don't want custom...lol that's the thing.
Maybe I didn't explain myself properly in the first post, i basically want a version of 4.0.4 with the normal look. So yes it ends up being a custom :laugh:
I thought there was a stock version of ICS (from another manufacture) that would work on the GSII, therefore not having touchwiz.
I got what you said. I'm trying to make you see what you're asking for.
You want ICS, 4.0.3.
You don't want TouchWiz
You don't want a custom ROM.
You have a Samsung device.
You want a Stock Samsung ROM.
Samsung uses touchwiz on it's ROMs

This is probably the closest you can get to stock Android..

Alternatively you could try Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS) or 10 (JB). They are based on pure android (AOSP) but have lost of tweaks and features and are generally much better then stock AOSP.

When I said "stock" I didn't meant a stock rom from samsung, I presume that there is a stock version of Android 4.0.4 (the one I was referring to) and then Samsung changed it with touchwiz.
I didn't (past) want customs since I presumed that there was an official stock version of Android without touchwiz for the GSII, apparently there isn't, so I ended up asking for a custom rom without knowing it was the only way of having what I want.
So to sum up:
I want ICS 4.0.4 (or 4.0.3, don't know the difference)
I don't want Touchwiz
That's it, sorry for the confusion
TheATHEiST isn't that rom Jelly Bean? My battery is already taking a beating with ICS, JB will probably last a lot less right? Although i'm already undervolting and underclocking

It's clear The post from TheATHEiST should be the answer to your question.

But he want ICS.....
@OP There's no confussion, what you want is a custom rom, because you have a SAMSUNG device, and samsung devices, when in STOCK ROMs, always have TouchWiz attached.
Here's an example:
Samsung releases ROM (TouchWiz included of course)
John Q takes that ROM and deletes TouchWiz.
John Q now has a Samsung ROM without TouchWiz. Also Called CUSTOM ROM.

CM9 is ICS. And the OP could flash an older version from other roms that are ICS.
Also he could download another launcher from the Play Store.

Donnie Sins I already tried other custom roms, but I'd like to go for the basic ICS with no visual changes for now... Doesn't launchers use too much juice?
god......

Then flash CyanogenMod 9 like TheATHEiST allready said. And no, launchers replace each other, but that isn't important now because you want CM9.

gastonw I was answering to #7 an #9 before I edited my post, it's hard to respond or edit with a minimum 5 minute wait designed for new members.

I always though CM9 had a different interface but apparently it does not. Seems like the perfect way to go
Thanks guys.
Enjoy CM9 then.
After BRICKING my GT-i9100 I managed to restore from here with a stock rom......not sure if this helps.:fingers-crossed:

every stock ROMs you flash into an S II will have TouchWiz, just because it's samsung interface.
Nah, he was asking for an AOSP rom like CM, not a way for bricking and restoring

He want's an AOSP that is not customed, "the real ICS experience" he said, no custom, stock.
Samsung guys are having a laugh right now.
Anyone have the original Samsung Touchwiz theme for my Note 2 that I can install?
Running Beans V7...
Thanks
Maybe just try a rom that doesnt have the aosp theme?! :laugh:
Lol or just flash back to stock since beans rom is just a themed, modded, debloated variant of stock VRALJB.

Actually there are a few things I prefer about JellyBeans that are not stock and I am in the same boat, I would like to have the stock theme as well
Uhh....port the stock theme to his ROM?
