TouchWiz need more organizing options though.
Think for me touchwiz or any touchwiz based custom rom ...do better job.. as to be honest ...CM based still got minor bugs...but lot many customizations available.
Though ... think what I paid to samsung ...I wanna use it ...lol

Hi people, i have also a galaxy s2, coming from a nexus s and from the first day i have removed all touchwiz and Samsung apps garbage and replaced many stock applications with nexus s stock one.
Now i'm a little hungry because.i don't feel fine with these and i want miui Rom again. I can be quite also with cyanogenmod.
But the question is.... What's the % of progress for these? I know that all teams do that only for passion and not for work, but a news of progression status will make all people like me happy!

have fun WAITING. that's all i can say. just because a new phone was just released, don't expect ROMs for it right at the beginning. all models are configured differently so devs need time to figure out the inner workings before they can convert/create themes or ROMs....
:-(

I wouldn't expect cm7/miui for a long long time at best, the sgs has been out for almost a year and cm7 is still in beta/alpha stage.
I thought the nexus s was a pure google phone with no bloat or touchwiz? How do you remove what is not there?

Lets see how many users are using Custom Rom , Stock Samsung ROM , MIUI or CM7....
Vote at your will.
Using my own custom sammy rom . I like to put my own touch to them lol. CM7 is ok but i find anything AOSP roms have flaws but props to the devs.

My custom ROM too. Aosp.
Sent from HydrOG3N MOD S2.
Technology Evolves, Android Evolves.
HydrOG3N is THE Revolution.
Oxygen 2.3.2, or HydrogenMod.
Aosp for me all the way.

To be fair, stock would be the most used rom.

Heh, true that. I guess most people are just using stock roms, maybe with a custom kernel. This phone works fine the way it is actually, there are just some little flaws that can be fixed with a couple of hacks, and some colours which are a bit out place, but we have some nice themes after all.
Aosp roms are blazing fast tho, really unrivaled in terms of smoothness if you wanna play games...the problem with those is that they aren't 100% bug free as the ones i was using on my Desire, so i find it hard to use them as a daily driver for more than a few days every now and then on this particular phone.
Hyperdroid androidmeda with speedmod kernel.

Galnet MIUI ICS builds. Far better than anything else.
stock 2.3.5 PT + juicedefender
thats it
checkk
CheckROM with ICS syndicate theme work perfect for me!
You're going to get a biased result asking on xda, as its where people who like modding go. Most users will not know about xda or bother with custom roms and be using stock

im a little bit confused because i come from nexus one, where the biggest part use CM builds, but here there seems to be a more even distribution among users..... any special reasons?
Was on cognition for a long while. on darky ROM now.

I prefer Samsung custom roms because they are so freakin smooth. Excellent stock browser, I love TouchWiz and the launcher, superb camera interface, and an awesome video player app.
Hyperdroid all the way-official ROM of the 2012 Olympics.
You guys wants me to add more poll items for Custom Stock ROM ?
I'm trying out omega and liking it so far,
Reason why the large distribution is because really, the phone works as is pretty well. It just needs a few tweaks to get rid of that garbage late night battery full alert and a couple other things. Since most people are looking for stock + tweaks, there's a lot of different tweaks available.
WajkIUI... i hope the spelling is right.. excellent ROM

Hey folks! My buddy just got the Galaxy Note and I was telling him about the awesome Developer custom firmware and mods...BUT then he told me, nothing beats the Official Firmware aka GingerBread with, in my opinion the Horrible TouchWiz UI. So I wanted to know your thoughts?
Am I wrong about TouchWiz being a bad representation of the Beauty of Android and not being Optimized for the Note...or am I biased?
All responses are welcome
Obviously it depends on what you prefer but i definitely prefer custom roms cause a) they usually are a lot smoother and b) they look better. And of course there's couple features you don't have on stock. Have a try?

I love ICS to death, but the lack of toggles in the notification bar really put a damper on things. I would recommend a Custom ICS ROM like CM9, or the sorts. Just look through the threads to see which was has the least amount of problems, or suits you best.

I've been using ics stunner 5.0 for a day now and there is a bunch of toggles to use and I think this is the best rom I have had on my note. Doesn't feel like having a beta rom at all

Stunner works surprisingly well. I am using Alba jp6 atm. And it rock! No issues I can find.

I really like this apex launcher and I don't have any issues either. Is there some kind of launcher like this in alba?

Oh this is NICE...A lot of Opinions I see, great! Keep em coming
My absolute ideal ROM would be a proper AOSP ROM(With fully optimized and compiled kernel) and Samsung's premium suite S-Note app. But for now I'm happy with AOSP CM9 ROM that I've been using as a daily diver.

TOTALLY agree with you.
my perfect ROM is 100% AOSP experience(no more touchwiz please) with FULL S-Pen functionality.
this would be perfect.
I'm still on stock GB, as I have a custom ICS ROM on my tablet and don't see the new features as enough of a reason to void my warranty having played with it for a while - and I'd like to get premium suite when it comes out too.
I did like TW when I first got the Note, especially the list display of the apps menu, but having tried various launchers (inc. sPB shell) I keep ending up back with ADW Ex which I love the tweakability of. It takes a while to learn what the different settings do but you can get a great UI experience from it once you've got it set up just right. I think TW would be so much better if you could tweak it a bit more to your own preferences.
I probably will root my Note and install a lean, custom ROM once my year's warranty is up, just for the performance benefits and lack of bloatware, but for now I'm happy with GB.

There's nothing wrong with touchwiz, imho. I personally prefer adwlauncher but I could live with touchwiz if I had to. To each their own.
Is it possible to have stock vanilla android on the gs4 and have the s4 features like hovering hand over locked screen for info?

And I think that would make it stock samsung touchwiz strawberry android.So it's better to use s4 stock roms instead

There will probably be many mods to make the stock Touchwiz look like AOSP.
But if you are planning to flash an AOSP ROM like CyanogenMod you will lose these features since it's software dependent. CyanogenMod can support it if they want but it's unlikely.

I have a samsung galaxy S4 SGH-I337M(canadian version) and im looking for a good rom out there. I whant to have a rom that gives you alot features, that gives the best performance to this devices and runs really smooth. I whant a rom that gives you alot of option's to customize. Can someone give a list of rom's that fit what I whant ?
You might want to try Goldeneye. I like it. It is touchwiz so you get the features of stock but a very nice smooth rom. Just one suggestion. :good:
Check the Dev threads.

Does it run smooth like cyanogenmod or does it lags sometimes like the original touchwiz?

It's not perfect, but it is much better than stock. Try it and if you don't like it you can always go back to cyanogenmod.
Aokp by task it is amazing

Sorry folks, all of the ROMs here are pretty good, it is really up to the user to determine which one works the best.
These threads get closed as users tend to make them arguments about one rom over another.
