Touchwiz-less Rom? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Is there a Rom that has the touchwiz stuff removed. Is it even possible? I am coming from the HTC EVO 4g lte and we had lots of "desensed" roms. If there aren't any, maybe I'll try to get one going, might even do a custom kernel for it too... I'm always looking for people to collaborate with as well! :beer:

There are quite a few in the development forums. Picking one is the hard part, because they all look pretty good.

I've seen senseless roms for a number of HTC phones, but I don't believe I've ever seen a "de-touchwizzed" rom before. There are a bunch of AOSP roms and a Google Edition rom for this phone that are all working pretty great at this point though. AOKP and Liquid are my favorites thus far.

If you are just talking about the touchwiz skin and debloated I would choose Google edition port.

I tried the gs4 Google edition and it ran great but 4g wouldn't turn on, I restored my carbon backup and 4g worked as it should... Could have been sprints $hitty network... This weekend I'm gonna strip a deodex rom and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the replies! :beer:

Well a few things you are about to get a lot opinions which is not going to help you. You should take a wander over to the dev section and check some out for yourself everyone's millage will vary. I am a CM nut with stock kernel both 7 and 9 have stable releases for the D700 not the 600 that is in your sig. If you are on a 700 and your sig is just messed up might I suggest these and not in any specific order:
The People's Rom
CM7/9/10
Clean GB
EDIT:
The SPH-D600 is the conquer

Oh okay. Yeah I forgot about MIUI and AOKP damn didn't mean to forget about Paranoid. Just not a big fan of MIUI and AOKP everyone's mileage varies and what one likes others might not just find out what works for you. Just remember if you convert to MTD when you odin back to stock you will have to check repartition.

New to this device.

So after looking at many of the ROMs there are just so many to choose from I can't decide on what one to install. So instesd of trying them all out I figured I would ask ppl what there favorites are. I'm looking for something that is customizable yet stable. I'm currently on the blue Kuban. Great ROM and mad props to the devs. I just want some opinions on some others that I may want to try out soon with out flashing all of them to find out haha. Thanks everyone.

Is sacs ROM color customizable or is it stock look?

Its customizable thanks to 3mint that allows you to change the color of the status bar/icons and the notification toggles.

Really GE ROM has almost no bugs.

The latest nightly of CM has no issues that I've found but this is asked over and over and over...... Just flash and try them out yourself. This thread will be locked very soon. Also questions go in the Q and A Section.

I want to try 4.3 too but I wanna try a stock Samsung TouchWiz one. I wonder when and if sextape and team will be able to get some leaks for us. Their leaks for the Epic 4G Tkuch were awesome~!
I would personally recommend CyanogenMod. I love their ROMs, nearly flawless.

Pretty sure the Sextape team isn't doing leaks anymore and their account is closed on XDA. But I remember the days of ICS leaks for the E4GT, good times, like 2-3 leaks a week. Lol.

What roms is yall rocking?

trying to decide which rom to use, itll be my first EVER! .. what yall using? what yall like about its. i have an att version rooted. thanks! so far leaning towards power user edition rom, feel like clean rom is what i have already cause i debloated a bit or is there more to it than that?
Sorry but you must have got confused which forum you're on. This isn't the Galaxy s4 forum.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
What indicates that he was looking for an S4 forum? Both roms he mention are G2.
i wouldnt think theres much of a difference in the roms except some mods which you can add on yourself thru stock rom
These roms are early builds and dont contain much, im staying on stock for now.
Malladus 1.1.3
Pretty sweet so far. Although I dream of AOKP on this someday...lol

Same here, it's quite decent so far.

[Q] What is your favorite rom?

I haven't seen a thread discussing the best roms for the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 yet. Is this the right place to post this? I'm currently on the Neon Rom because it's very light. What's your favorite rom and why? I like testing out all roms but wanted to know what everyone else thinks.
Eclipse. I doubt that's going to change either. Having an actual AOSP feel while maintaining Touchwiz is truly the best of both worlds.

Same here. CleanRom from SG3, SG4 (but Scott stopped supporting the S4), now Note 3.
Been on Jelly Beans for a month. Just switched to Baja and like the stock them just a little bit better. Either way all these ROMs are great. Pretty much the same. 4.3 Touch wiz
