Why don't you try a third party launcher like ADW or Go or Launcher Pro if you dislike TW that much!
The problem with launcher pro or any other launchers is with the stock launcher from samsung which run on background and take a lot of battery ...and it makes the phone really slow ..
thanks and i will try CyanogenMod 7, i hope there is no bugs in this rom
How about this?

Haven't tried it and will not do so, but seems to fit your needs, and possibly more stable than CM7 (haven't tried that either though...).

As its pretty much CM with a few "tweaks" I would say there about the same.
CM is pretty damn stable considering its only nightly 20, I have been using it as my daily driver for a few days now, no real problems not caused my me.
As far as TW, install a launcher you want, get titanium backup, look at the apk list in my sig, and freeze touchwizz and you are done.
You may want to push the launcher into system with titanium backup just in case something goes wrong you don't want to be left without a launcher
Backup first/YMMV

Everyone has their own specific needs and wishes, just try both of them and keep the one you like most. Omega has more mods and themes`s while Revolution is very close to stock. You cannot flash custom kernel`s with Revolution afterwards because it breaks the tweaks built into the rom (ramdisk) and you can with Omega. Omega (Indie) offers way better support overall and a very lively and helpfull community i must say.

Hi,
I'm amazed with CM10.1 speed, responsiveness and others, but I hate many things in it. I hate the camera app, widgets bar and that everything is black/blue. Is there any stock rom that could compete with CM10.1?

Its like comparing chips and a mouse. AOKP/AOKP will defaultly be faster because there is less in the actual ROM and default Stock OS has everything the software/phone manufacturer could cram into it eg: Samsung
Your best bet is to go with a stock ROM that is either stripped or one that you can choose the applications you want with it eg: Sotmax... or maybe even a hybrid ROM...
Hope this helps, and please correct me if i have said something wrongly anywhere:good::fingers-crossed::good::laugh:

Hey, first of all thanks alot for all the development and crazy amount of information going on in here
I have searched but unfortunately I couldn't find a solution to my problem so I'm asking here. I recently installed official Cyanogenmod 10.2 stable release on my i9300 international S3 (since CM11 gave me some bugs) and it's pretty great so far, but I've been searching a way to change the color settings of the screen. On CM there are some built in ones but I don't really like those. On the 4.3 Stock Samsung ROM there was "Professional Photo" or something like that that I did like. Does anyone know what I can do? If I understood correctly kernels can do that sort of stuff but I didn't find a kernel to suit my needs.
Thanks in advance
You Got It Right

Yes you understood it correctly If your Planning to run a ROM based on CM Screen modes like Dynamic, Professional Photo etc Are available only through custom Kernel.
In Sammy as v all know you can change it under settings but for CM unfortunately you have to stick to Kernel Settings to do that.
Almost All popular Kernels Have that option under Screen>MDNIE mode
All you have to do is select the right kernel
Unfortunatly You asked a Question in this Thread and Also Gave an answer for the same.
Just remeber that for CM ul have to stick to some Externel Kernel as these options wont be available with stock CM 10.2 Kernel as well
Just as a recommendation give GoogyMax , Boeffla, Agni a try as these gave me really good results(Special Thx to Dev's of the same )

Thanks for the reply
I've looked into GoogyMax and Boeffla but as far as I could tell they don't support color changing. If I do install them what can I do to change the colors?
And I have yet to install a kernel, does it come in a zip file that I can install in CWM?

I'm really frustrated because I like vanilla android and CM is just so much faster than TouchWiz (I'm no won Android Revolution HD 40.0), I switched just because of the GPS issue but I really don't want it as my daily driver.. Maybe a different AOSP based ROM you know that the GPS would work in?

Strange To hear that. Well ive never used Stock CM so cant Comment on that GPS issue.
As Far As Now the AOSP or AOKP Roms ive used have never Had this GPS issue. You Can Try Anyone From Below Thread (CM 10.2/1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/10-04-index-roms-t2218825
For me i would have chosen between PACMAN PARANOID n SLIMBEAN . All are great for Daily use
Also Check out This ROM. MY personal favourite Amongst All. Bug Free and Stable , Archidroid but its KK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-3-3-power-hands-t2354859
Yes CM is definately Smoother than TouchWIz( Thx to Free RAM ). But Try out the ArchiDroid Stock Sammy ROM. You Might Like it for its smoothness
Rom recommendations are not allowed on xda. You have to try out and search for which rom suits u the best same goes with kernels

yes, you can download 1.14 or latest gb kernel from:

my config on Apolo Configurator noop, Slp, values apolo regular, disable BLN, fast charge.
my modem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/overheating-fix-samsung-galaxy-s2-fix-t1656005
disable fast dormancy (call *#9900# and disable it, its consume 20% battery and not support all company services.)
disable auto-rotation (use the gyroscope, you can rotate manual the videos,camera...)
disable auto-sinc (this process is active around 1 min checking new contacts, locations, etc ... you can manually synchronize it on settings-accounts.)
Use dark themes and dark wallpapers (actually i dont use wallpaper all black.)
disable animations windows or set duration x1,5
for games try some config from chainfire 3D

would be for me the best rom (4.4) for i9100 has a good performance in a matter of battery, a very well optimized launcher is one of my options when I'm not using the stock based roms or the one you already know DU 10.6, I must say that many roms kitkat promise a stable performance (pound rom, RR kitkat, Android Paranoid, NeatAOKP, spiritROM, DU 4.4, nameless, mokee, pac-man, MiUi kk, bifkat, rom gummy, cyanfox, beanstalk, carbon, omni, slimbean)
I also followed Saber's advice to use Slimsaber build greekdragon together with his kernel but at the time of using it I caused bootloops and I gave up with it
all of them when I was not using the phone were downloaded enough to the point of losing 40% in any of them in a night without using it, this ehndroix together with dorimanX kernel gave me a good consumption at night and a good performance during I was using it to play or watch a YouTube video, I do not recommend LP roms at all, even now and then I try some MM rom
but certainly those based on stock are the best since always a user who has still the S2 his problem will be the autonomy of the battery
it is good that they are striving to get the final versions of Nougat and are currently working for a stable 8.1 but not to make it very large I would recommend you stay in some stock or MM adding the settings that I previously put on custom roms cant disable fast dormancy now download app fast dormancy for i9300 and some modules xposed (greenify, SD on OBB, powernap, ...) always use the interface and add a dark theme etcc ...
