I literally tried all current TW ROMs and half of AOSP's. I am currently still on AOSP:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sputnik767:
TouchWiz. Simply because it is more stable, everything works, and has more features than stock Android. Too many problems with AOSP to truly use it as a daily driver without headaches. The very slow switching between 3G and LTE is a big one, especially since many people will switch from one to the other on a regular basis due to being inside a building, elevator, etc. Besides, if all I wanted was the AOSP look, plenty of launchers out there that give you that. Personally, I find TouchWiz to be fast and smooth with excellent battery life, arguably better than AOSP, so there is no reason to switch.

I just flashed cm10 nightly 12-26 and LTE is ridiculously fast. 33mbps down where I usually get around ~18 on any 4.2 ROMs. Wonder if it's the lj7 blobs that were used for drivers. Back then.

Been running TPR for a long time now.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
This is actually a separate issue.

The original APN config didn't allow cm10 to go from 4g to 3g seamlessly. The update fix you're referring to fixed that, but introduced a new problem. The new issue, which us still current in the latest night lies, is that 3g connection will randomly cut out when in a non 4g area. Handoff is fixed, but now you occasionally go loss of data.

Do not get a Galaxy Nexus. It's terrible! As for the Nexus 4, I liked it but it was only available on GSM carriers. T-Mobile was great in Jacksonville but I lacked signal hardcore when I visited family outside the city. Sprint, surprisingly, was better on average.

TW all day! I dont like aosp at all.. when I had HTC phones i never rocked aosp either.. When I have a HTC phone I rock sense when I have a samsung phone its touch wiz all the way!! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RS7JR:
I was pretty much all for aosp until the mc3 leak. LJ7, ma5, ma6 and mb1 just didn't do it for me. But mc3 on my phone is a whole 'nother beast. Battery life like you couldn't imagine and data signal quality like I've never even came close to in the past. Didn't have to swap kernels or anything. I'll probably go back to aosp, but at this point in time, with the crappy signal we get out here, I almost feel forced to stay on tw in order to have a fully functional phone all the time.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RS7JR:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caileb:
Different strokes for different folks.

I prefer AOSP; gives me more options to make my phone 'mine'.

TW has gotten a lot better, though. Many of the TW features feel a bit gimmicky to me. But it use to be a lot worse.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaddabeast:
I personally think the aosp is better because it has a lot more features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
AOSP has more features than Touchwiz roms? Wow! Then quick question why are AOSP roms anywhere from 160 to 280 MB while TW Roms are 840+ MB in size?

As the previous poster put it "different strokes for different folks" I have S3 to enjoy all the features that the phone was intended to have, I also have a Galaxy Nexus to enjoy AOSP as Google intended it.

I don't have any problems with AOSP ROM's at all, of course my only complaint is having to flash back to TW ROM to update PRL and PROFILE. No big problem for me. I liked dual app functionality on TW based ROM's, but I like how AOSP ROMs look and function. I'm currently running an AOSP Android 4.3 ROM, which I like so much, would never go back to TW.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flonker:
TW would be great if Samsung just added extra features and didn't make Android look like crap... Like the page indicator that takes up 1/3 of the screen and the color/icon scheme that would be awesome if I was six.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Omar04:
I'm not going to say one is better than the other but like TouchWiz more for the extra functionality like all the gestures and motion features.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MBCO:
Same here. But when I mess with the wifes S3....I realize why I love AOSP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
I'm currently using Synergy, but want to ditch TW. Are there any cm10-like ROMs built off the leak? The reason I need a ROM based off the leak is because I live outside of a 4G area and have frequent data drops using any other JB ROM.

Thanks guys!

Sent From My Rooted/Modded SGSIII - If I've helped you please click 'Thanks'!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
The best your going to get is an extremely debloated JB rom based off of it. Reason for that is CM10, AOKP, and so on are all based on AOSP source code.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mibmobile:
I agree. If you getting away from touchwiz then AOKP is the way to go. If you decide to stay with touchwiz I would go with JellyWiz Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
Problem is the RIL. You're gonna continue to have that problem, too, on all AOSP roms until source for VZW TW JB releases. Anything "based" from jb leak is going to be TW. Unless you find a very very very very very very very skilled dev out there that can debloat like a machine. But that won't happen to the extent your talking....

Long story short, if you're stuck in a 3G area, you have TW roms and that's it. Use a 4.1.1 leak based rom. Its solid.

And FYI, some people have actually reported good 3g connections with some AOSP builds, but I don't know which as I live in a 4g area so I don't pay attention to talk about it :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
After doing a two and a half day road trip all along the eastern seaboard, I had data drops in the mountains in Virgina and that was basically it. On cm10 switching worked fine for the most part. In two and a half days maybe did 5-10 airplane toggles. No bigie.

I'd like many things

I'd like LTE.

I'd like more storage

I want a removable battery

I want the stock battery to be massive so I won't have to remove it anyways.

But at the end of the day, the deal breaker for me is the limited storage. 32/64gb versions are nice, but I personally prefer SD cards because they're much cheaper (a few dollars off amazon for a decent 16 gb card vs 30-50, possibly up to 100 dollars [if we're talking apple style] pricing increase for phone storage). I use ATT, which has absolutely cruddy service, and even on LTE my speeds wouldn't be all that higher than HSPA+. I like having a removable battery since I constantly flash roms, and if I get boot loops it's easy for me to just yank the battery. I have no idea what I'd do with a phone without a removable battery source.
[Nexus 4 General] Bjray:
It's actually easier on the Nexus 4 lol, just hold down the power button for 10 or 15 secs.

[Nexus 4 General] mazzmoney:
I picked LTE by accident I'd rather have a bigger battery. If this phone was the same thickness but with a bigger battery I'd be a happy camper. I'm fine with 16GB of storage so I don't need more or an SD Card, I'm switching to T-Mobile so LTE would be useless (also, I don't think Straight Talk allows LTE phones on their network. If they did, I might choose LTE), and I'd rather a bigger battery over a removable one. But if we're talking about which one would be best for the phone in general, I'd say a 32Gb option would quiet most of the crybabies.

europeans dont seem to understand that there are many people who already have/pay for LTE... most of which don't want to revert to normal HSPA, since you know, going backwards in technology is stupid.

Not to mention not everyone in the US has the same carrier, so not having LTE/CDMA means not having the phone at all.
[Nexus 4 General] donec:
The choises are too limited.

I would like a pen to make notes with. Not a standard stylus with it's fat tip which is no better than a fat finger but a pen with a small point on the tip kind of like the pen on the HTC Flyer.

Or maybe the ability to have floating windows so you could have 2 things side by side for reference.
[Nexus 4 General] mackstrife:
I'll add one more vote to the larger storage. 16GB is a bare minimum in my opinion. I'd be perfectly happy with a 32GB.
[Nexus 4 General] anirudh412:
Can we choose to remove a feature? I would opt for removing wireless charging. Drives the cost down further AND would result in a thinner phone. Use that cost to add a microSD slot.

Otherwise, the device is perfect!
[Nexus 4 General] mesasone:
No. Leave the wireless charging alone! :p

If you're asking what I would want added that would realistically be added... it would be a option for 32gb internal storage. SD card would be great, even better, but I think it's become apparent that Google won't be putting microSD on Nexus devices anytime soon. Also, a 32gb option wouldn't require any re-engineering, as it would be a matter of simply having larger capacity memory chips installed on the board when it is built.

A 2 stage focus lock/shutter button would be great as well. Integrated into the power button would be swell.

The problem with having LTE added is that the Nexus 4 is designed to be unlocked and work on virtually any carrier in the world. By having one phone that can work virtually(GSM) any carrier in the world, it helps bring down costs (economies of scale).

In the US alone we have multiple, incompatible, LTE networks deployed by the carriers, and a limited footprint at that. Not to mention whatever the situation is in other countries. Is there even a chip out there that is capable of accessing all (or most) of these networks?
[Nexus 4 General] mrhaddan:
Even the Nexus 4 thinks it should have a MicroSD slot!

If Google isn't making this thing with bacon, I'd have to go with the microSD slot too, but not even that big of a deal since I sync with G+ and play music anyways. 9 Days!!!

It was hard to choose, especially because the price is low that it is hard to have gripes with the phone.
