I know that there are new leaks coming out every day (some real, some not).
But I need a ROM that is Jelly Bean but without the Touchwiz.
I know there is SuperNexus but that has Memory Leaks.
Anyone know of one? Please no time wasters..
I'm gonna be honest with you.
Jelly Bean without touchwiz sounds like you wanna look in the AOSP direction. However, there's no AOSP Jellybean ROM today that hasn't got memory leaks.
I'm not sure, though, if someone has taken a samsung base ROM and taken out all touxhwiz related to replace with AOSP counterparts.
Use a JB leak and holo launcher HD, looses touchwiz and you get stock JB

Can you elaborate a little further? Would this be the closest to a pure Nexus Jellybean as we can get? Very interesting...

He isn't wrong for wanting a non TW rom. Some people dislike TW. I bought the GS3 but hate TW am I wrong for that? But I am surprised I actually like some of the TW features on the GS3 so lately I have been running TW but themed out as much as possibly as AOSP.
But OP as of right now there are no AOSP roms (JB without TW) that do not have a memory leak. Chances are the memory leak will be there until JB kernel sources are released.
If you want jelly bean without whole touchwiz framework, flash some rom based on aosp or cm19, but if you want stock samsung jb rom without touchwiz launcher, just download some 3rd party launcher via play store, i recommend nova or apex. You can't delete whole touchwiz framework but launcher is replaceable.

Holo launcher hd is a third-party launcher based on AOSP JB it looks exactly the same as it, third-party launchers are the only way if you want stock, the other alternate is to flash an AOSP or CM10 Rom.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yup.
Use a third party launcher like Holo Launcher.
For locker use Holo Locker.
Optionally Root your SIII. And Delete some .apk in system \app.
Lots of replacements there.
Lemme save you the trouble. And get you some suggestions:
AllShare Play - Who wants it? B|
Calculator - Get one like Easy Calculator. Though the stock calculator is pretty nice.
Camera - I'd recommend Camera Zoom FX. but it's paid. stock camera aint bad either.
Clock - A simple deskclock could do. Try "Desk Clock". Or else Stock Clock. " " ".
Contacts, Phone - Can't do anything bout these. except mod on own.
Gallery - Well. It's fine but you can use ICS Gallery by Mobylynx. Pretty fast and elegant
Internet - I hate the stock browser. Get Chrome or ICS Browser +
Messaging - Get ICS Messaging, though i'm not sure if it supports Direct Call.
My Files - Get ES File Explorer. It's the best file manager to drag and drop files.
S Memo, S Planner - Well, they aren't bad. But you can even try out Color Note for S Memo. And for S Planner try Taskos To do list.
S Voice - I don't like S voice at all. Get Speaktoit Assistant. Best voice assistant ever.
Samsung Apps. - Keep this app. Gives free games sometimes.
Video Player - Well. Just keep it. It isn't that bad. Or else try mx video player. It's even good.
Voice Recorder - Stock one is nice. You can try 3rd party Easy Voice Recorder.
Well. That's it.
Can't do anything about the other stuff. Because that's the framework.
I'd recommend trying out a theme, if you want to get rid of that too.
I spent quite some time trying to find the best app in all those areas. So kindly just press the thanks button if i helped you.

Why have you flashed a custom rom, when all you needed was another launcher?

Use apex/nova launcher with it and this is the closest you can get to stock jelly bean with a samsung ROM.
Hello every1
I have been a fan of CM roms since I can remember having an Android phone, always loved the feeling of a clean Android Software.
Too bad samsung always packs touchwiz on its software, I hate its launcher, the icons, the settings menu, notification bar... Everything on it!
The problem I ham having is that going with CM based roms nowadays implies having to leave most of the amazing features of this phone behind, like its amazing camera, CM camera works, but not 100%, keeps giving me trouble and the picture quality cant be compated to Samsung roms.
Does any1 know a Samsung rom with the 100% looks of JB Android ?

That's GREAT. But is it possible to have the Jelly Bean SMS app instead of Samsung's (and same thing for Contacts app) ? The Google SMS app is much better (better looks, silent delivery reports,...), and if you can add Samsung features on it (direct call especially) you are a GOD
Looking forward to it.

You can try Romow N4 ROM. It is a Sammy based ROM with NOVA launcher pre-installed, without any bloatwares, dioxidized and rooted to the likes of many. The only reason in my case where I find this particular ROM great is that there are many features included in it such as in-built call-recorder(stalker app I know) 2 camera apps(Original Sammy and a Nexus's I believe?) , no touchwheeze and bloatwares, no lag on keyboard operations(usually found in many custom jelly bean ROMS) just to name a few. I was on CM10 before but found this a tad better especially for the fact that my OEM(China made RED cables) MHL adaptor works fine with this ROM unlike the latter. So you can give this one a try, it has been my daily driver for about a few days now.

Do you mean DEODEXED ?
You know that performance-wise, deodexing a ROM is a huge step backwards, right?
I found absolutely no advantages in the ROM mentioned (Romow N4), and everything it provides can either be installed from the Play Store or uninstalled using Titanium Backup. Besides, it probably is MUCH, MUCH SLOWER than a stock, odexed ROM.
The only advantage of deodexing a ROM is to allow for theming the ROM by changing the resources some apps use (like the framework itself).

Also true, but that's not something the regular user (which I believe is the case here) will do, or even know how to do. Therefore, my general advice for those who don't know the difference, is to simply avoid deodexed ROMs.
Just use foxhound with an theme

you can simply freeze touchwiz home and use nova or apex or any other launcher out there and still enjoy the other goodies from samsung.
Everyone talks about Apex and Nova launchers but Holo is the best of them all in my opinion it's just not as widely known as the others, check it out from the market (quite similar to Apex actually but better IMO)
Hi there everybody....
So today I replaced my s3 with the note 2 N7100. So far it was so worth it....
One thing though that I am terribly missing is the AOSP domination theme for sammy based roms.
I did some theme searching in Xda, but I couldn't find a good AOSP Theme.
When I had My s3, I used "[VRT]DOMINATION*v1.8* theme and it was perfect.
This is the perfect solution for all of us who can't stand the default green samsung theme, and Love the google Styled (AOSP) theme.
I tried looking for a note 2 compatible version, but i received a reply from the theme creator, that there isn't one. So i was thinking the maybe some of the talented XDA developers, could try to import the theme for us note 2 users...
I'm posting here a link to the home thread in XDA so that all can see what i'm talking about.
I hope you like it as much as me....
And please, if possible, please import:

You should check out [email protected], Modstorm, and westcrips ROMS. They are all very good ROMS that are AOSP themed. Not as perfect cut as domination theme (that theme is flawless in my opinion), but they are getting there.
You can find them all in the development section. You can't really go wrong with any of them, although [email protected] and mod storm are updated a lot more often than westcrips ROM.

All of my examples are Touchwiz ROMS that are AOSP themed.
But these are definitely the best options you have until someone ports the Domination theme (which is doubtful as it has happened yet). Either that, or use an AOSP ROM, which I personally don't want to do because of all the Touchwiz features you lose. IMO, these complete ROMS are much more AOSP than any of the themes you will find in the theme section.
But I feel your pain, as I would also LOVE to see domination get ported.

Oh my gawd... That theme is so good. I want it!!
Avetny had a good AOSP theme going, but he dropped out of the game.
Well, I'm another one of those loving AOSP theme but don't want to loose excellent Samsung TouchWiz features.
As others said, there is no excellent AOSP theme so far, just AOSP themed ROMs.
The best AOSP themed ROMs I found are AllianceROM and Crash ROM.
The former needs a tiny bit of colour customization to get there, but it is definitely worth it (no more than 5-10 minutes of settings).
Check them out...

Wow, thanks dude. I've been reading about this in Android Apps & Games and it looks pretty amazing. But don't the theme ports have to be device-specific to work properly? Where are all the Note II ports being published/uploaded?
Couldn't find anything in Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps... Am I stupid/blind?
well a week ago I have replaced sgs2 for note2...
Im not a fan of touchwiz based roms, before I was using aosp, cm and other amazing roms.
But since with note2 all the great features of s-pen are not supported on nonstock based roms, Im searching for some solution.
Now Im searching for original copy of my stock rom. so in case of I will need warranty, I will flash it. But cant find it for now.
Anyway, I found amazing aosp theme for stock based ROMs here on xda. The only bad thing that is development has stopped, and the latest version is for android 4.1.1... but I think that it would be not so complicated to port it for a newest version of rom.
here is this great theme.

I'm assuming I'm not alone here, as I have seen many people across the forums saying that they have either already gone to, or are thinking of flashing an AOSP ROM, and are worried about losing all of those Samsung Goodies (Like hover, air gestures, eye control, TW Camera, etc.) They generally also seem to want the customizability of a custom rom, as well. So, let's discuss how people have gone about getting that JB feel on a TW ROM.
The way I currently have this set up is with the Hyperdrive 5.7 ROM as a base. With just that, you get a smoother, faster, and enormously feature-packed TW ROM. The customization you can accomplish with this ROM is very impressive, especially considering it is TouchWiz. On top of this, I'm running - yep, you guessed it - Nova Launcher.
Nova Launcher is, in my opinion, the obvious choice for getting stock JB feel on any device. Nova allows the important customizations made to Hyperdrive to continue working, while adding the JB feel right on top. I've also run the script from within Hyperdrive to enable the Nexus 4 Softkeys, and I've shut off the lights on the capacitive keys on the device itself. This makes them completely invisible, so the device looks much more like a Nexus device, if you like that sort of thing.
What do you guys think? What other options are out there? I'm looking to give some insight to users who may want to get this type of feel on their S4, while also getting some feedback or better/different ways of achieving this. Good luck, and happy theming!
looks good just get rid of the nav bar

Yeah. So the dialer and incoming calls are both part of the TW base. Nova launcher is just that; a home/launcher replacement. Just as you said. Though I am sure there are theming options for these things through third party methods, since many people dislike TW appearances.
I am just trying to get more of an AOSP look/feel, doesn't need to be completely coated in JB.

I fully understood the point of the thread which is why I suggested Eclipse ROM. It's Touchwiz based and includes all the Touchwiz gimmicks as well as the TW camera. It's most certainly NOT an AOSP ROM as you seem to think it is. It's just a very well themed Touchwiz ROM.

I've also run the script from within Hyperdrive to enable the Nexus 4 Softkeys, and I've shut off the lights on the capacitive keys on the device itself. This makes them completely invisible, so the device looks much more like a Nexus device, if you like that sort of thing.
What do you guys think? What other options are out there? I'm looking to give some insight to users who may want to get this type of feel on their S4, while also getting some feedback or better/different ways of achieving this. Good luck, and happy theming!

The main portion of it is DashClock. I like the accuweather service more than Yahoo though, so I used overlapping widgets in Nova Launcher. The weather widget on top of Dashclock is a 1x1 weather from Beautiful Widgets.

this isnt really a [MOD] or a [GUIDE] this is more or less someones review of a ROM and a couple quick customizations in an app that's well known.... very misleading post

I am no longer running this ROM, but it is an included script with Hyperdrive. If you go to sbreen's included script installer, it was somewhere in a media folder and you just run it from there. He posted the instructions on the first page of the Hyperdrive thread somewhere.

I'm looking for a Rom that has a stock android look and feel, like the stock status bar and stock look for settings, while still maintaining a great camera and gallery app, preferably the touchwiz ones. The air gestures are nice to but not absolutely necessary. A stock android like lock screen is also a must.
Any help is appreciated

The Wicked Rom is pretty neat. Cear of bloatware.. Its TouchWiz. This is the fist Rom I tried and have not switched sinxe I flashed it. I have been very happy with it.

When you say Stock Android look and feel do you mean AOSP?
Hyperdrive has a lot of options for pretty much every apsect of the rom
Eclipse S4 TW Edition is basically a TW rom with the look and feel of AOSP. Those are the two best in my opinion. If you're really trying to get down to nearly pure AOSP programs and stuff you can check out Andybone's Barebones Rom too. It just depends on how AOSP like you wanna go.

My ROM doesn't have anything AOSP
An AOSP theme is coming thanks to nito for giving me the permission to use his work.
Tried your Rom, was great but I didn't like how the Rom settings say there is an aosp lock screen but nothing happens when I toggle it. Also you need to add a default music player, be it Samsung's or play music. Also hated how it doesn't restore all apps, had to manually do that.

Lol. Wasn't necessarily talking about theming but more about the removal of more things that some people consider bloatware (all the extra Samsung cool guy features) but after relooking I think I was thinking of someone else's ROM. Yours is one of the first ME7 based roms. My bad Andy.

If you are talking about my ROM..
Google auto restores your apps,...
Not ROM related.
also there is NOTHING wrong with the AOSP lock screen,
and Samsung Music is found in Aroma, choose hub..
I suggest doing a FULL CLEAN install, and NOT installing anything outside my thread.
I can only assume you flashed an android.policy.jar and that broke the AOSP lock screen. User Error.
Also I don't include ANY app you can download from the play store.. why would I?
waste of space.
Everything you hate about my ROM can all be solved by fixing your user errors, and a little research.

VERY true lol. But again I wasn't sure how close to "stock android look and feel" the OP wanted to go.
Thread closed...
These type posts are not allowed as they turn into arguments over which rom is best, and best rom threads get summarily closed as users are expected to read, study and make their own determinations as to what they want on a rom.
XDA is not a support site, it is here for developers and for those interested in the plight.
