[Q] Samsung Based ROM? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I know people don't usually like these type of questions, but I have done a lot of searching and can't find what I'm looking for.
I want to flash a ROM on my Captivate that is based off of a Samsung ROM. I really like the look and feel of the S2 and S3 ROMs. It seems like all custom ROMs are based off of the Nexus version of 4.2 and I don't like it as much.
Does anyone know of a ROM that is based on Samsung 4.2 and has a similar look and feel?
Thanks

Google Nexus devices use clean Google Android OS with stock Vanilla UI
Samsung ROMs are based on Google AOSP with Samsung TouchWiz UI
Custom ROMs are based on Google AOSP or CyanogenMod, theming allows UI you like
CM10.1 based ROM + Galaxy S3 theme will give you close to stock Samsung UI look.
Take a look at Avatar ROM + Galaxy S3 theme, for example. Stable ROM with good support.

No.. pure android is vanilla..
Aosp like any other open source project adds improvements and twraks to pure android source which is what aokp, cm9 cna do. making them aosp . aokp just a name...

so in short
AOSP - Basic Android Source Project (no Customizations) like Oxygen
AOKP - Improved versions of AOSP like CyanogenMod??
and what's the difference between aosp roms and stock roms, besides e.g. preinstalled samsung apps?
aosp = android open source project
aokp = android open kang project (link https://sites.google.com/site/androidopenkangproject/)

It's not really about the Samsung/Sense apps more about the whole "layer" that i.e. Samsung/HTC put over the basic rom, (touchwiz and sense in the case of samsung/htc).
So if you'd take those layers/apps away you would just have the basis which is just AOSP.

Stock ROM with the looks of AOSP ROM?

Some modifications made to the stock samsung rom makes it impossible to me to switch to AOSP roms, but I really would like to get rid of the touchwiz interface!
Are there any custom roms based on the Stock rom that has a ui similar to AOSP?

[Q] ROM like AllianceROM??

Hey guys, I don't have the TMO Note 4 but I flash my buddies phone for him. He's on an older AllianceROM and loves the amazing theming customization options it offers.
But he's ready for a new ROM install. And it looks like Alliance hasn't put anything new out in forever.
Are there any new, current ROM's which offer the same amount of theming customization?
Stock based ROM's please. He doesn't want AOSP/CM based stuff.
