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.

Thanks alot I'll check it out
Why are most custom roms built off aosp instead of off stock then editing stock to add in certain features and changes? Is stock closed source compared to the open source of AOSP?
I want to install aosp rom to my phone because of all of the stock passed issues. But I know that aosp roms have terrible camera framework, can I port the stock based one to aosp.
I see for some other Xperia phones they already did that.

I think AOSP is better..
AOSP is better. The best? RR.
AOSP is better than stock dude . You get extra features and functionalities in AOSP than the Stock ROM .
Hello i'd like to know why we "only" have cm or aosp based Rom. Nobody wants to build stock based Rom without bloatware and few tweak or is it a software issue?
