Well I was thinking I cant be the only one who loves the look of stock AOSP/CM but the relatively bug free operation of stock roms.
Foxhound seems to be the answer to this but isnt for sprint:

Wondering if anyone else would be interested in a rom like this? Also wondering if any devs would be interested in a project like this?
From what I could tell it's just a de bloated tw Rom with aosp apps right?
Then why not just do this
Use a tw Rom like blazer
use root explorer to delete the apps you don't like
Find the aosp apps for tw in themes and apps section and flash
Find inverted Google app and flash

I guess the part I really liked at least based on the screenshots is how accurate the theme appears to be. I tried ICS theme but it was lacking
I would be all for this.

After you flash the ROM, install titanium backup. You can remove bloatware with that app. Anything T-Mobile you can remove.
They call me "Jelly" cuz jam don't shake like this!
Don't you prefer to install custom rom? Many custom roms have bloat already removed. I recommend FrostyJB, very stable, most of bloat removed, long battery life.

I wasn't using any ics based roms so nothing from my personal experience. I know that there was Frosty based on ics, I saw it somewhere. If it is as good as his jb based then you should be happy with it. I recommend going to development forum and checking the most popular roms, you should find something interesting. Sorry for not providing much help in that matter. I just don't have much experience with sgs3 ics based roms.
Good luck

That has no bloat, but also you lose Samsung exclusive (tw based) futures like motion or smart stay, and it may have more bugs. But this is very good option for some. I'm running right now one of cm10 based ROMs and I love completely bloat free experience. Battery life is incredible. But I miss smart stay and few motion gestures.

Root & install SU + BusyBox.
Install terminal emulator from the market.
Fire up the emulator & go to town on APKs in /system/app.
For the APKs you find annoying & not spelled to your preference....or you simply wanna claim a Fatah on, delete.
Win.
I've been on cyanogenmod ever since I've rooted my phone and I've never used touchwiz once. I've been browsing through the roms and I like what the goodness rom has to offer but I don't like the way it looks. Before I download and flash it, is there a way to make it look completely stock touchwiz?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I'm running Jellybean and rooted, but I like the feel of TouchWiz well enough I haven't flashed any other roms (yet). The one thing that bugs me though is the TouchWiz lock screen--is there any way to just flash the AOSP Jellybean lock screen, or maybe the CM10 one?
Many roms include it

Check themes and apps. Morphology
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Many roms do include it... Probably the easiest way is just to flash a stock rom with it.

I like the stock rom as well, I dont know if you can flash just the lockscreen, but if you go for the whole ROM package, I would recomend you the Sac23's Unofficial Synergy ROM port, it has working multi-window and the AOSP Lockscreen option, and it looks and feels pretty stock, im on the V2 right now, just small bugs, nothing mayor, I get 14 hours of battery and its pretty smooth.
You can give it a try, just flash the V2, not the V3
Here's the link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088508
I have been looking around for this and have found places that have the pretty much every other AOSP app up for download except this one. I am using a Stock based rom and I want to use the AOSP People app because it's a billion times better than the TW Contacts app.
Might anyone know where I can get this?

You haven't seen it because it won't work. Framework differences. If you don't believe Mr and want to try I will upload one for you and you can try

Thanks. I thought maybe since a lot of the other AOSP apps were ported over that this one would be too. Damn, i love the People contacts app. You don't have to post the app unless you think someone else can use it
Yeah only I don't know the word for it but maybe "material "apps like the camera and clock that arent actually necessary and it won't work because Samsung has for proprietary framework thanks reason we can't you Samsung camera on aosp ROMs sorry about that man but for future reference you can extract any of the APKs you want right out of any aosp ROM using root or solid explorer
Oh yeah must of the time there are libs to go with those FYI in case you go experimenting

The rom want most is an aokp rom that has snote and my spen features. Even Aosp, I just do not like touch wiz and the way it looks, I just want simple Android or aokp and my spen.
This would be the ultimate rom, also the tablet mode gmail!

I've tried that rom out, and most of them, the closest one is jelly beans, but you can't send pictures through texts and it had a few problems
Many of the SPen apps/features are proprietary, so odds are you won't see them in AOSP.
@ work, so can't find a link for you, but
a) you won't find an actual aosp ROM with those actual apps, they are TW only. but you might find an aosp themed TW base rom if you look. (which I'm sure you already have)
2) I think in one of the actual aosp ROMs has a list of "replacement" apps for both those...
Sent from my calculator watch.
OK, found the thread I was thinking of...
The Official CyanogenMod Thread has a post Here about replacement apps for AOSP ROMs.
Not using an AOSP variant at this point on this phone, so can'y comment re: function/bugs/whatever. (Frankly, don't hate TW at all (esp if you use an aftermarket launcher), and this phone isnt needing anything trimmed down for bloat for better function. Yet.)
Hmm...I think requests and wish lists falls under Help issues

So there is no way to back up snote and have it work on another rom?
Would it be possible to mod touchwiz and basically make it like aosp? Or combine it like pacman or something?

What is a negative theme? Miui has literally thousands of themes

The white and orange. I had trouble using the theme app because it was all in chinese, if you know a good alternative please tell.
