Hey guys, this is my first post on here but been a member for a while. Been a member since I've had my og evo 4g. Now i have a s3 but I've been wondering what you guys like or prefer more...TW or custom roms?

Quick side story:

I like touchwiz and the stock Samsung features/apps but also like the few improvements of 4.2 or even 4.1.2 for the other s3's. Because of this I tried finding 4.2/4.1.2 TW custom rom for tmobile s3 but failed and accidently bricked my s3 (flashed international rom...I know, I feel so stupid. I'll read more next time). Anyway its at samsung being repaired. But this made me begin to wonder if anyone else on here felt the way I do of Touchwiz and Aosp.

Back to the topic though, which do you guys prefer stock TW or custom roms like 4.1.2/4.2 and why?

Also any suggestions on what I could do (when i get my s3 back) since I kinda like both would be greatly appreciated.

Which do you like, Tw or aosp?

Why do you like the choice you made?

Why don't you prefer Touchwiz or Aosp?

Are there any features you like from both?

I love the stock option on the wicked rom by evil1art. And I have a question, they repair your s3 or send you a new one if you bricked it? Wouldn't they know you tried to modify it and void your warranty?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Williaml232:
I prefer TW. I don't understand why people want ASOP. It's missing so many essential functions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] luc.highwalker:
I much prefer aosp. Specifically speaking, pacman or paranoidkangdroid roms. They're so much smoother, faster, better battery performance, and customization far beyond your needs.

Sent from a galaxy far far away.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
I like like its customization...plus thats the only way of getting 4.2/4.1.2 on the t-mobile s3 as of right now. 4.2 also improves battery life. But I really like TW and the stock camera/features/apps that come with it.

Yes, exactly why I like aosp roms but my problem is I also like the look and some of the stock features of TW. Basically want a mixture of stock and aosp features. So I'm guessing there's no way of getting the look, features and camera on one of these roms?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Techinically it should void it but it's hard-bricked, wont turn on/charge/nothing, so no way of telling. I just told them it wouldnt turn on at all, left out the part about flashing roms though lol. Im guessing they'll replace the motherboard, thats what happened to others who've been in my situation here on xda. But if they cant fix like that they'll be willing to give me a new one. Right now my repair status is on "repair in progress". Either way I'll be grateful of getting back my/a perfect working s3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flipq88:
I prefer tw roms, not talking smack about aosp roms but every time I flash an aosp rom I always have small bugs that drive me back to tw.

Sent from Flip's S3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] moldyghosty:
+1. I am currently using liquidsmooth and it is really nice. But there are a few little bugs. Call volume and headset issues, common in aosp roms. Going back to TW. Bugs aside though, I prefer aosp.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Yeah thats true, thats something I don't like about aosp roms. Its like the roms are great enhancements to the is but you have to deal with these little bugs that aren't that bad just kinda annoying.

I'm considering just leaving my s3 stock when I get it back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] myowin:
I'm on same boat. I hate to admit three were days we hated TW. But Samsung had done great job lately.

You can always try some combinations. .like stock rom+nova/Apex launcher for aosp look but has TW features. .or 4.2 roms with nova launcher and GS3 theme for stock look but latest features like quick settings. Or there is a rom 'Dandroid' rom which already themed to look like aosp. Also there are new apps that offer same thing 4.2 is offering like quicksettings.. I'm running heavily debloated stock rom with action launcher.. Great battery life and I can still enjoy all that features I came to like from this new touchwiz nature UX ui.. I hope you find what works for you. .

OP isn't rogue, PM me for ideas and help :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
The GS3 was the first phone I've ever purchased that I instantly was really impressed with it stock. Samsung did a bang-up job with the latest Touchwiz, seriously.

But the tinkerer in me and the desire for optimization made me take a look at custom ROMs anyway. What hit the spot for me was Wicked. It's everything you love about stock, with lots of options for tweaking. It's really a brilliantly built ROM. I currently use it with the stock kernel, but with Nova Prime Launcher over it.

With the latest version of Wicked (v8), it's hard to believe how much goodness the developer has packed under the hood. You really have to play around with it to appreciate it. And again, all while retaining all that's great about stock Touchwiz.

I've toyed with the idea of checking out a CM10 / AOSP type ROM, but there's a lot I'd miss about stock. So until I get a second GS3 to tinker with (which is never), I'll most likely be sticking with TW based custom ROMs for the long haul.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
I was fine with TW except for the home screens and very limited number of rows and columns that couldn't be changed.

I just use a launcher now. I might try a TW based ROM - but what I really need is the native wifi calling - I'd try a non-TW ROM if I didn't need it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] falcons2:
Both have features that I really like. Aosp has been giving me better life compared to tw
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
Wicked comes with an optional 5x5 modified Touchwiz launcher.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aria807:
I prefer pure android experience as my 1st android device was a Nexus S.

1st day I got my GS3, couldn't stand the BS that came w/ touchwiz. It made the phone feel very sluggish. 1st thing I did was switch over to Paranoid Android and immediately you can feel how much faster everything responds.

Simple test is opening your app drawer and then pushing the Home button. TW rom will have a lag 1-2 seconds. AOSP/AOKP/CM is pretty instant.

If you are afraid of risks of going custom and bricking, no wrong in staying stock. Stock is more stable obviously and custom does have the price of instability for performance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
B

The home button delay was just a setting in S - Voice. Turn off that one switch and that delay is gone.

Most of that "BS" isn't Touchwiz, but carrier added bloat. TW based custom ROMs like Wicked take care of all that junk, even the S apps if you don't want them.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
I like both TW and aosp/aokp.... When I get bored of one, I just flash back to the other. I do like some key features that TW has and I like key features that aosp/aokp has. I'm glad we can were able to switch from one to the other with little to no effort.

I've read accounts of people breaking GPS when switching between TW and AOSP. Have you had any trouble with this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
I have had this issue in the past... But with Charlieb260's 4.1.2 TW port, it does not break gps.

I was on 4.2.1 and flashed 4.1.2 TW and everything worked fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
Was all about touchwiz, but now I am sick of it. I hate how tw zooms in or out when you swipe the sides. Not just stock browser but many apps. Wasn't like that with ICS

SGS III running liquid smooth 4.2.2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shrimants:
I was eagerly awaiting cyanogenmod stable to be released on the GS3. I tried the nightlies but they were giving me problems. I finally switched when the stable was released and it was workign OK (not stellar, mind you, just OK) for a while. No noticeable performance or battery increases, obvious theme looking better but thats easy to get. Obviously less bloat. Better notification widget. fast boot. I was satisfied enough. The camera was acting like crap, everything was underexposed and no matter what I tried the picture would not fix.

I then put on the M2 build and half the apps I used on a regular basis would force close instantly and constantly. On my nexus one, CM was great. I had like 8 gigs of flac and a 16 gig microsd card, but now i have 29 gigs of flac and a 26 gig usable area, so I switched to MP3. No benefit there. I dont use DSP. I liked the samsung specific features and was bummed to see them go away. Google now is TERRIBLE and tries to be something it really isnt ready to be, and I was actually itching to give S-voice a fighting shot, for whatever its worth. Of course I can disable that and plug google now back in if i need to through other methods or via software key.

Theme support is w/e because root gives you plenty of control. Notification widgets I actually hardly ever use because my battery life is gargantuan on this thing so I can just be spoiled and leave wifi/2g/3g/gps turned on constantly and still be at 50% at the day's end. As for bloatware, I can remove most of the annoying stuff, either automatically with one of the scripts floating around here or manually as each piece of bloatware annoys me.

I havent tried anything except CM, so take this with a grain of salt. But my preference currently is (begrudgingly) stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Yeah I get you. I personally like Google now and think it's pretty useful at least the way I use it. It's good for sport game reminders and tracking, searches, weather, traffic; the simple stuff. I do want to get into S voice though; seems that with a few more improvements it can become really great. Aosp roms tend to have little bugs here and there that made me want to go back to stock. To me stock has a lot of great little options/features that made me grow to like it but aosp has the personalization that I want. The camera on Touchwiz was really good with a lot of features when compared to the ones on aosp which was a big factor to me. If TW/TW-like camera could be added to aosp roms, even if in recovery, that'd be nice. Another thing that led me to flashing was the want of multi-window; not sure if available on aosp roms also but this I believe was a good feature ported over from the note 2.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xaphino:
Wow I really relate to the OP. I love TW music! Seriously, why can't Google Music remove songs from Recently added without deleting them, also TW Music is amazing when it comes to playlist. I love some TW tweaks, there SMS app is awesome, just swipe and call/message. TW looks meh to say the least and no themes or anythings. I hate that switching just launchers can take away some functionalities. Now I'm on Liquid Smooth and I'm thinking about going back TW but not sure yet. There is so many cool feature on 4.2 (awesome lockscreen) but low voice recording is really bothering me. If only there was a mesh of both worlds.

BTW anyone know a good music player that can creat playlist with ease?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] notufatjesus:
Touch wiz....here.

Flashing something ported over is an invitation to more problems.

I believe the advantage to have the source code or original build to modify is an advantage. Plus they've intergrated some of the 4.2 goodies into these roms such as...4.2 camera, 4.2 gallery, ect.

More working things, less bugs. Makes the biggest difference in the world. Oh yea....

Great Bettery Life.....arguably better.:beer:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
I've been an Android user since the MT3G.. I became a fervent supporter of rooting/flashing/custom ROMs from way back with the original MyTouch 4G through the S2, Gnex, to my S3.. however I have noticed a few things that have steered me toward stock TW.

First and foremost is the fact that my S3, even when it's only on rooted/debloated stock does not run as well as unrooted, bone stock TW does. This may be due to several factors including the fact TW ties so many useless apps into each other that the freezing/removal of any of them causes the system to look for things that aren't there/it can't get to. This could also be due to the now vast amount of different Super User apps, custom recoveries, etc things just aren't as standardized as they used to be.

I have always rooted all of my phones - for me, having a non-rooted phone was almost a sin.. I always thought of people who used stock, unrooted Android as naive beginners who just didn't know any better (and typically, that is the case). However things are different now, and it's become quite evident.

Regardless of the custom ROM, from my experience they ALL have issues that you have to accept. Whether it's improper Bluetooth stacks, horrible audio quality output from the headphone jack, intermittent data issues, or reduction in color vibrancy, there is always something. Most users on custom ROMs choose to accept these small prices to pay in order to feel like they can customize their phone how they want, to break free from the chains of stock. I used to feel this way.

However after having my S3 on CM 10, 10.1, Rooted/Debloated Stock, and a couple of other custom Stock-based ROMs, I can tell you one thing for certain - on bone Stock, unrooted TW my GS3 runs better than any other configuration. Battery life is excellent, the camera opens more quickly and captures the best images, the screen is vibrant and gorgeous, Bluetooth works flawlessly and audio output via headphone jack is damn good. It never stutters, the data connection is always solid - it "just works" (I know, I know, but hey if the quote fits..)

Don't get me wrong - I loved having a working Google Wallet and Wifi Tether on the truly unlimited plan.. I loved flashing ROMs and watching the development of CM 10-10.1.. but not as much as I love my phone when it's working flawlessly.

I recently Odin'ed back to pure Stock 4.1.1 (latest build) and I kept it unrooted. I have never been happier with my phone. Ever. Oh and yeah the stock TW features like Direct Dial and sliding a contact left to text, right to call.. yeah those things are pretty damn cool too.

Just my opinion for whatever it's worth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jrplaga25:
I really like the improvements of 4.2.2 and I'm waiting for the TW updates.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bossofindy:
I like a pure android phone it seems faster. My first android was the original droid 1 on Verizon, then the droid 2. The droid 1 was aosp and the droid 2 had a locked bootloader and we had to use a bootstrap to get recovery. With android being open source these manufacturers needed a way to copyright or protect there interest so they started putting their own apps on top of aosp, a lot of which is just eye candy aka bloatware. Take a phone like the nexus which is aosp and give it the specs of our S3 and you'll be amazed. Touchwiz, Sense, all are nice and to some aosp is just plain. It comes down to looks vs functionality, so many people have smartphones and don't have a clue of what these phones can really do. Im currently running a TW Rom but I prefer an aosp, I just can't get past the sdcard "0" that third folder just irritates me maybe it's an ocd thing lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
Gonna give it a shot, finally figured out how to properly use Titanium Backup for apps after avoiding it since I've only used custom ROMs infrequently on my tablet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] byron1985:
I can say I like both. During the school year I have to stay on touch wiz because of WiFi calling my school is made of think cement and allot of classes are in the basement. So I almost have no data signal. However I prefer how aokp ROMs look better. So I just take a stock based Rom and take buts and pieces of various touch wiz ROMs to make it exactly how I want. One of the first things is changing that annoying water droplet sound to the aokp sounds for clicks.

Also I feel like I spend allot of time switching back and forth between ROMs. I feel we have allot of talented developers working on our phones making quality ROMs for us.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dano79:
Touchwiz for me, aosp is pretty sweet and the phone does run better in some aspects but there are those little annoying bugs. Plus with TW you get better camera and sound from the device IME

If you want s voice bad enough it can be used on aosp from what I hear. Also you now have access to s4 s voice. You can try it out its worth a shot.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] luc.highwalker:
Better sound? I thought the sound was absolute garbage when I first used the device. I had to root and install sound enhancers ASAP. Camera, I can maybe see. Though I personally love the new 4.2 camera. Just looks super clean and takes great pics. Plus having it accessible on the lockscreen is pretty neat too. I think it's all just a matter of opinion. If you just want something stable and basic, tw is the way to go. If you don't mind a couple bugs, and you know your way around android, then you'll have a lot more fun on a stock rom.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flipq88:
When 4.2 first came out for our phone I installed the first "stable" rom that came out. Immediately I noticed that when recording videos the sound sounded much lower. Just to make sure I recorded my tv playing some tv show theme song, saved the video then restored back to tw. Recorded the same theme some at the same volume and it did sound much louder on tw. That was the only time I tried 4.2 and don't know if it was fixed already.

TW is better atm than aosp. The sound is better... the camera ia significantly better... the bugs are much less... the tw features like palm swipe screen shot, motion, and slide to call/text are very nice, wifi calling, better battery life, more vibrant screen, smoother ui, etc...

The only thing I really like about aosp is the notification drawer, nav bar (sometimes) swipe works better imo and themes and that just isn't worth saying that it's better
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I would use TouchWiz if I could have 4.2.2. The carriers are way too slow on the updates for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
That's exactly how I feel. I just wish 4.2 TW was out already that's why I went back to aosp but I'll most likely switch back over to stock if get an official 4.2 or even better 5.0 because some people think tmobile might just skip the rest of the 4.x updates and wait for 5.0. Hope not though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
I don't see why everyone is acting like 4.2.2 is a giant upgrade over 4.1.1... multi-window sucks on our size screen... bt works fine on both. Idk... maybe I just dont get it :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EclipzeRemix:
I think I fell in love w/ aosp

Can't go back to TW
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Well I dont prefer it just for multi window really, I really like the small features that come along with it that makes things just a bit easier. Though multi window can be some what useful some times on our device. Camera and widgets on home screen are kinda cool too. Plus it said that 4.2 improves battery life.

Jelly bean is already great but little improvement like these help it be even better imo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Borumha:
I find my self switching between Two and AOSP/AOKP often

I seem to find more customizability out of the AOSP

I haven't noticed a great difference in battery life in my usage between the 2 types

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] falcons2:
I really like them both but I think aosp is better. Well atleast for me I think it's better because it gives me better battery life then any touch wiz rom I've tried. I do like the touchwiz look more then the aosp look.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Wicked has the best battery of any rom ive tried... tw/aosp... aosp used to be known for its battery life but lately with this device I say there isn't much difference but frosty and wicked tw roms had the best life for me

Tw used to give me the best battery life but with 4.2.2 I get even better battery. On tw I usually get around 4hrs screen time but with aosp I get 5

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
No offense but I doubt that. Unless u have 5hrs screen time on 8-10 hrs discharge time. Ive never seen 5 hr screen time on an aosp rom with reasonable discharge time. Just my own observation

No media scanner or media server in the screen shots? Huh... well nice either way... I stand corrected. Altho touchwiz will get me about 4.25-4.5 hrs of screen on time with 12-13 hrs of use.
