I'm not sure about what the base will be but the ROM will be themed to look like Touchwiz Nature UX. My dev partner Tmogalaxys2 has a ROM called Galaxy SBean in the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 section that is themed to look like Twiz Nature UX. It is one of the most popular JB ROMs for the phone.

I'd be interested

Yep looking forward to this to. I have been running Siyah Kernel for a couple of weeks and it's great to be able to switch between the stable stock based rom and CM10
Yep same as on the Nexus 7 forums too, looking forward to having 4.2 AOSP on both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7:laugh:

Won't take long to CM10-4.2 get released. I guess 4.2 uses the same base and stuff, so won't be a problem. Still, I may stick with Samsung. I love CM10 but not CM10 for i9300. Colors doesn't look good, laggy and a lot of random bugs.
Looking forward to it. Unfortunately cm10 on i9300 is beyond the team's control . If Samsung took their thumbs outta their asses and start releasing the RIGHT source and docs for Xynos, we might actually get somewhere. Its a miracle we've come this far without it.

I see a lot of people comment that Touchwiz ROMs run more smoothly than CM based builds. This is exactly the opposite of my experience. I find the Cyanogen team's work to be second to none, which is remarkable considering they're volunteering their time.

It's freaking me out a bit that my Verizon Galaxy Nexus will get a 4.2 custom ROM before my Nexus 4. WTF?
With the CM vs TW ROM debate, is there one Vanilla ROM that you think proves that theory that they run smoother and faster because I'd love to test it if there is one. I've always also felt that TW runs smoother? Maybe I'm wrong. Is LiquidSmooth a good example?

I think that comment probably did that more than anyone else's. I think it's a perfectly valid part of the discussion. I'm not suggesting we sit here and go back and forth on ROM names. But I'll ask my question in a different way. What is it about the AOSP release that's out there now that isn't working well that will be improved by this 4.2 release? Ultimately, this isn't about one ROM base vs another it's about whether AOSP can be made to work bug-free with the I9300 hardware, isn't it?

I believe it's also to do with what new FEATURES have been added to the new AOSP release and less to do with how much stability it will add (since that is dependent more on Samsung releasing the source than what AOSP has to offer in terms of stability).
Some of us would like to make use of the new features of 4.2 and not have to wait for an official Samsung update.
Having said all this, at the end of the day, that's my point of view and I don't expect everyone to agree.

Multiview from Galaxy NOTE 2 in Nexus 7?

Hi!
I am talking about the amazing true multitasking available in the NOTE 2
I googled a bit and I only found a version for the S3 and the S2
Any tip for install it in my Nexus 7?
thanks!
You could always ask one of the people who ported it to the S3 or S2.
I think that'll be your best option, to be honest.

The Note is on the Touchwiz framework...the app would basically have to be rewritten from the ground up. OR someone would have to build a Rom on Touchwiz framework.
Short answer is nobody is going to do this...Not going to happen.

I've seen a custom rom using touchwiz I'm not sure if it would be possible to use that and then use a port for multiview from the note 2
there is an app called multiscreen, i havent looked how it works on the s3 but it looks a cool app, been tempted to get it.

this is exactly right. Its very much encoded into the touchwiz framework. So much so that there's a port of the entire gnote2 Rom ported to the att galaxy s3 but the multiview is still inop

I use stick it player for pop up play like the s3
The US variants of the S3 still don't have it. I would assume a non touchwiz device wouldn't be getting it before the us variants do. Maybe the guys who ported TW to n7 could do it?

Well, it's not just that. MIUI is very easy to theme and, at least on my Droid X, very fast. In fact, it was the smoothest ROM for that phone in my opinion, and I was flashing just about everything for two years straight.
I guess MIUI is Opensorce project, see www.miui.us for more detail. and here https://github.com/MiCode/PatchRom/tree/jellybean
please anyone be kind enough to explant to the razr m
Love or hate MIUI, it’s an innovative and fresh take on Android, and one of the most popular custom ROMs out there. What didn’t sit so well with many of our forum members, however, was the fact that, despite being built on top of the open source CyanogenMod ROM, it was closed, with all development being done by the Xiaomi company. Well, was – it’s now in the process of being open sourced.
Besides the ROM itself – or, rather, a “PatchROM” that should allow developers to port MIUI to new devices – the various MIUI-specific applications are also getting their source codes released, all under the Apache 2.0 license. Not everything seems to be available yet, but then, we guess that the whole process spearheaded by the new MiCode community will take some time.
If you’re a developer, take a look at the source code on GitHub.
miui is nice, fast smooth and pretty but it has some limitations from standard android. anyways i would love if someone would port the new galaxy s3/s4 rom for razr m. dont know if its possible but would be cool. (pls dont tell me 'u should have bought the galxy s3 then', i bought the razr m for its incredible build )
I'll keep it real, i bought the RAZR M bc it was the best phone for $50.00

not the old touchwiz! that sucks.. yea! well i was also skeptical about the s3 when it had been released. recently i used one and a galaxy note 2, i have to say the ui is smooth and it has some nice features. anyways im just saying. i liked it. i have used sonys and htcs ui but both are as smooth or easy for the eyes as the s3 ui. well just my opinion. right now i would take any rom thats smooth cool and stable. i guess miui v5 port would super cool for the razr m. i heard cool reviews about it. :fingers-crossed: hope they release it soon and someone make a port

I tried out the launcher and it is still a little buggy. Biggest issue is the lockscreen quirks. Like it will sometimes unlock just by touching the screen or sometimes won't even show the lock screen.

I agree touchwiz is weak

Will New Features ever be on AOSP ROMs?

I reallllllly hate Touchwiz. Back from the days of the Mesmerize on good ol' US Cellular I always have. But the S4 has some cool features, specifically smart stay, air gestures, and the likes. It also has a lot of battery killing BS that I don't need.
Just wondering if it will be possible for developers of AOSP ROMs like AOKP and CM to have the pure google experience with some of the S4 specific features integrated.
I remember on the Epic 4G Touch getting S-Voice from the S3 and it was sketchy and didn't work great. So I'm kind of doubtful, but curious nonetheless.

Hopefully when the Google galaxy s4 is released it will be pure aosp with the added gs4 features.
As with other TW based features the only way we'll see them for AOSP is if Samsung decides to release them ready-to-go on an AOSP build. Based on their history I wouldn't bet on it happening. Look for alternate apps where possible in App Store.
I thought the aosp s4 version that is to be released is probably not going to have all the cool features as our phones just pure stock which probably means none of the air gestures and such which come intergrated with touchjizz.
Why not just root and remove the junk you don't use. Given they aren't tied together somehow.

Most S4 features are just that features. Why buy an S4 if those cool features are AOSP (Open Source). HTC can just put it in a future update. We are at a point where going pure android really takes away from a device. Some features aren't worth losing.

27AUG2013 We need more Android 4.2 ROMS

Android 4.3/CM10.2 ROMS are growing in number, and many former Android 4.2 and CM 10.1 ROMS have been evolved into the newer builds. Problem is that Graphic Glitches on Android 4.3 for Samsung Exynos phones are substantial, and they make the user experience quite unstable and at times very irritating.
We need developers to continue updating 4.2 ROMS with the latest features (e.g. Focal, HALO2, etc...) for a while until the Graphic glitches on 4.3 ROMS are dealt with sufficiently. Maybe a new PA or CM 10.1 ROM would be a good place to start. Current 4.2.2 ROMS still being developed lack many new features and recent updates.
Thanks for everyone who helps. If you agree with the idea, press THANKS below to show the number of those interested.

Try out SlimRom build 8. It's 4.2.2 and stable, fast and battery friendly and include all the customization options you need.
With that said I would also like to say that my modded stock and odexed 4.1.2 is working like a charm and nothing beats it.
Try developing yourself and you will know how difficult it is. Just begging and demanding don't work. Go fork some repos and port 4.3 changes back into 4.2
And the issue of graphic glitches is not anyone's but Samsung's fault because they haven't released updated GPU drivers. And non of the 4.3 Roms mentioned stable so such glitches are expected.
If you are not satisfied with whats avilablr then either make your own stuff or suffice with whats available.
