TouchWiz vs AOSP vs AOKP
Which one and why?!
Touchwiz... faster smoother and doesn't strip my phone of all the cool features that comes on the phone.

I can't decide. I already gave you two TouchWiz based ROMs in the other thread....Darth Stalker....Wicked Sensations. Try them out and decide for yourself.
It's kind of like asking me what my favorite color is, because you don't know what your favorite color is. My tastes, and yours are most likely not the same
What are some of the best TouchWiz ROMs in your opinion? Also some of the best AOSP/AOKP ROMS as well (if you have any experience with those type of ROMs).
When I had my Optimus S, I was on a ported CM9. We couldn't get CM10 to work, no drivers for any of the hardware and no "real" wrappers to get the hardware working. The stock "themed" roms all were froyo or gingerbread, and we didn't get the official gingerbread until about 6mos before my contract ended. CM9 was a little buggy and had to be rebooted often, but it allowed me to make my old and tired phone sing again.
When I got my SGS3, I went straight for the official CM10 and was happy for all of a day. A week later, I saw a TW themed rom and tried it out. I liked it so much better than the CM10 rom because I got all of the really kewl things that Samsung baked into the rom that were either broken, missing or buggy in CM. When CM10.1 came out, I tried that too, but found Wicked Sensations and I've used it almost exclusively since (tried an AOSP that was pretty kewl, but still, I missed all of the Sammy stuff).
Until I can't make my phone sing anymore with a TW rom, I won't be going to AOKP/CM/AOSP anytime soon...

imho, Goodness 8.03 is the most complete Jellybean based ROM available. Working MultiView, tons of optional themes and mods, choice of 8 different lock screens, improved sound quality and lots of baked in options. There is even an option for using call recording (only with the Anthrax kernel though). Mijjah seems to always be 1 step ahead of the rest of the developers. My next favorite developers and ROMs are:
Dazedandconfused - Wicked Sensations 2.0
Joshbeach - Jelly Bomb 13
Kennyglass123 - The Peoples ROM 3.1
Clark44 - FreeGS3 3.0
All these ROMs are great and are well supported through the xda forums. You will learn a ton about rooting and options over at xda: Sprint Galaxy S3 Android Development - xda-developers

Yes, I just registered at XDA a few days ago. Been posting and lurking around there ever since lol. Can't decide if I like AC or XDA better
