Root [Verizon] touchwiz jelly bean s3

hello all, so i have a unique request that most probably don't want. I want the new upgrade for the galaxy s3 to jelly bean to get put on my verizon s3. now i have tried just stock jelly bean on my s3, but it over heated and i got poor signal and battery life. i also dont want the stupid wifi thing that verizon added.

So just a touchwiz jelly bean rom for verizon s3. Or a resolution to my overheating and poor signal/battery.

THANKS :D
 
Your phone came with ICS with a Touchwiz (Samsung) interface. From there, if you root/unlock your phone, you can flash custom ROM's which it seems you have been doing. In general, you have these options:

-ICS ROM based on Touchwiz (such as Synergy, Bean's Custom ROM, etc.)
-Jellybean ROM based on AOSP (Stock Android [Android Open Source Project])

There is no Jellybean ROM with Touchwiz because Samsung/Verizon have not released such an update yet.

If you want Jellybean with the bloat removed, try CM10. Remember that this is an experimental ROM; many users say it is very stable and fast, but it still not a "stable release".

If you want ICS (more stable) with some bloat (such as wifi notifications) and other tweaks, try Synergy ROM or Bean's Custom Stock Rom.

Hope this helps!
