The purpose of this thread is to keep people updated on the status of various ROM's for the VZW SGSIII, because although the search button is our friend, sifting through pages of progress is cumbersome for a few of us. This is not a babysitting thread, though - I'm not posting hundreds of links to different pages and answering ROM tech support questions ( at least not all of the time ). If you post pending issues with the ROM, we can get them here and also post work arounds and fixes in a centralized area so as to not clutter the ROM sub forum. This thread will have THREE major parts.

I will be adding more ROM's as they come and as I have more time to. At night when my wife and daughter are passed out, I test these ROM's extensively. I also decompile and check everything out, just to see what might make one tick. You can post any questions you have here, and this way the devs have a centralized thread to look at where major concerns can be posted and fixes/updates/patches can be relayed just incase you missed a reply/skipped a page using the xda mobile app/etc.

Part 2: Complaints, Workarounds and Fixes
---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------
Q: I lost my ability to do direct call from text after flashing this rom, and a theme.
A: I'm willing to bet you didn't realize the stock mms was replaced by the AOSP version. Luckily for you, forum post #298 in the Jellybean Domination v7.2 thread has a stock MMS fix, that is also themed blue.
Q: I flashed paranoid android and i lost complete cellular service, and I have no IMEI! Why would they make a ROM like this?
A: It's a fault somewhere between flashing this rom and K-Exec doing it's job. We don't know exactly whats causing it yet. But chances are if you would have READ you would have heard about this being the number one RISK as of right now, and backed up your EFS/IMEI accordingly. A link on how to do just that is in the first part of this thread.
Q: SynergyROM people said that tethering works and VZW Mobile Tethering is broken. What gives?
A: I could have sworn they included a different WiFi hotspot app that works off of one touch. Look for it
Q: Google Now isn't working. I installed the APK and all it says is initializing.
A: As far as I know Google Now is a jelly bean addition, correct? We are on Ice Cream Sandwich. We can't really expect everything to work. A working google now can be found in the Paranoid Android ROM, which is AOSP and Jelly Bean'd.
Q: The Dev(s) of (variable) ROM haven't replied to me or addressed my issue directly. Whats the point of being a dev?
A: This is not the Devs job. The Dev makes the ROM. The Community flashes, tests, and reports bugs/problems. The dev then finds the time to fix these issues when he/she/they can. You're not a twelve year old in a ROM candystore where every ROM is a Daily Driver until this bootloader situation gets handled properly.
Q: Awesome Beats doesn't seem to be working, help!
A: Just because it's on there doesn't mean it's supposed to work. It's experimental, and some people have given the nod and others the axe. Your model may vary. I do have a modified SGSII version of a beats script I've been working on that i've test flashed on mine that works, and I'll pass that out after some more testing and after I find the creator of it and get his/her permission, at least so I can give proper credit for the original compiling.

Hey guys, this is for you. It looks like confirmation of the efs/imei backup working on more than one person. This comes from Paranoid Android thread. I hope this helps!
It is now.. I have data AND voice. Where previously I did not.
itsmefu is correct. I used the backup from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29201792#poststop
To elaborate, I went from:
stock rom->rooted with root66 rom->made a backup of my IMEI/EFS
I did not know this but for some reason this phone views our internal storage as SD CARD whereas the actual "physical" SD CARD is named EXT SD Card... so when i first backed it up I was unaware of this... but I had used the method I linked to back up the IMEI/EFS. So that there is an EFS.BIN on my EXT SD Card.
I than updated my kernel to the latest OTA->updated my baseband to the latest OTA (I advise rolling back to the previous baseband as this baseband is HORRIBLE...)
|_->downloaded the vzd2 image recovery from this thread->downloaded JB GAPPS->downloaded paranoid droid
|_->booted into recovery using three finger method->data wiped->cache wiped->dalvik cache wiped
|_->installed PARANOID ANDROID-> installed JB GAPPS
|_->rebooted... and my data/voice was broken.
SO:
went back to recovery->nandroided back (^ok sorry i forgot I nandroid before the whole installing process...)
|_->got back to root 66 rom with root.
|_->downloaded terminal emulator
|_->followed the instructions to push the imei/efs back into the phone.
|_->rebooted.
Working data and voice. Got 4g/3g/and VOICE (<-the MOST Important).
Repeated the appropriate steps to install Paranoid Android..
Now i have working data/voice.. 4g and 3g.. Going to roll back to previous baseband though as with this new baseband I'm dropped 4g, 3g constantly at the areas when i had constant 4g and 3g! 
---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------
I can't really confirm but I know I had ALOT of zeroes in my IMEI with broken data and voice... so I'm pretty sure I had it, as I lost connection to network in total.. basically a broken phone but a working wifi tablet? haha.

Please update and say that the backup is at least working.. so it is a verified backup in a sense. So people won't be as scared as before since then the backup was a HUGE if. I can verify this because I made the backup, lost data & voice compeltely, and than rerolled backup and now have a working phone!

May want to make sure it's confirmed on more than one device and total IMEI loss before adding to the main post.
Rather clutter than people flashing and borking phones because of bad info. Mods delete this after a solution has been found and then no more clutter.

Are you talking about the lift to call motion here? If so, that has worked for me on both versions of nosympathy's ROM as well as the most recent synergy ROM.
Pretty sure if the stock MMS gets replaced by a theme/ROM direct call gets borked.
Didn't say it was won completely working, but it's better to have a backup then it is to flash and then be pissed off. One if the main reasons I made the thread is just so people can be aware. There are plenty of roms and same day developers and assholes and trolls, but we need more people helping instead of demeaning. At least now they can look and SAY OK, there is a huge warning in red regarding k-exec and AOSP Roms. Instead of people dev bashing it can help. Also I don't consider this thread clutter.

It should work on any rom based off of mine. Synergy is one of those.
He is posting it mainly because there are some themes out there that default the stock ICS mms.apk instead of the TW secmms.apk that is in my bases. No one had a working deodexed secmms.apk until I released my first base.

Absolutely. Before no sympathy it's safe to say we were stuck, in a way. His tremendous work happened after these themes were being created, and people were blaming the ROM and that's clearly not the problem, and unfair.

Thats why I suggested the OP to update the thread with the backup to be at least confirmed working for more than 1 person-the orginal OP of the backup efs thread and me-so far... Because than at least people will be less afraid. They still have to be cautious as even getting root is not 100% safe if you don't follow anything to the T.
Well said slic!

Thanks glad you agree with me! Because apparently Farabomb thought it was clutter... which in my aspect I think at least having it worked twice should count as a fundementally WORKING backup vs. a "THEORETICAL" backup... Because realistically till this happened to me we only had one case which was the OP of the EFS thread.. so it wasn't only in theory that it would work.
And i'm pretty sure for a 15 numbers string theres only one way of messing this up..
Btw, thanks Chad for posting what i wrote in the other thread up. And my apologies if it's a bit long, people said they wanted a detailed transcript so I did that..
LOL!

Well you can try paranoid android rom now with no worries <--less worries- since I was the unofficial guneai pig... thank god I fixed it though lol. I also just got my 4g working again, had to reset my radio to LTE/CDMA/GSM it was set to GSM/CDMA auto. Reset it with the phone info app. Now i can see if it's better than the last baseband.
Will keep you guys updated.

Hey all. Been a while since my last release of anything, which was sense based, but I really wanted to start learning android and have a better perspective of it. I decided to dig a bit more into compiling android. Started horsing around with github and learned to start compiling my own builds from aosp wih the help from cmsrc, evervolv, and a few others githubs. Since the release of gingerbread to aosp, i moved away from sense. There are things that i do miss about sense, but the usability of the phone without it is just unmatched imho. Many people use or have used cyanogenmod. IMHO is a great open source project that has some of the best devs out there. I have always been more into the 'vanilla' look opposed to the themed and aftermarket. Recently i have been compiling gingerbread for the evo and mt4g and have had nothing but the best reviews. Basically the reason why i am here. Wondering if there was any interest in a few of my builds. Main reason from moving away from CM6/7 (cyanogenmod), ADW launcher and the extra added bloat(sorry) and themes. Battery life will always be one of my main concerns. Everything should work!
1.3 build is based off 2.3.7. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.x (thanks cm team).
1.2.1 build is based off 2.3.4. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.x (thanks cm team).

I have heard good things about deck roms from my evo friends, thanks for adding heroc to the lineup!
Thanks for this. Looks like I'm gonna need a bigger sdcard for all the nands of different roms coming out lately. (which is good, cuz my upgrade isn't until next year). Look forward to trying this out.

not really its a stripped down full featured cm7 build with better battery life and some of the gruff removed (cm wallpapers and a few others taken out) its around the range of what aosp was doing
Just flashed this. I'm loving that all these roms are popping up for the Hero since I've probably got another year before I can switch to a different phone. I've been wanting to get away from CM7 and so far this rom seems like a winner. I was loving asopmod for froyo and would love to get back to something that works just as good as that. Had some little issues with CM7 and I'm not really into all the extra stuff they add.

Its so funny, I guess those of us with kids will be giving our hand-me-downs to them. I gave my Heroc to my daughter when I got my Evo. Too bad she won't get the Evo though, as I am upgrading to the Evo 3D soon, and need to sell the Evo to cover the cost. I'm sure glad there are some awesome ROMs like this one to keep the Heroc relevant. My daughter is quite happy, and frankly, I'm impressed! ;-)
gapps with vvm?
does that means there's no phantom voicemail when you flash the gapps signed zip with vvm?
Are the gapps packages in the OP compatible with other GB roms?

As dumb as it sounds, this is exactly why I've stayed with 2.1. And I've stayed with nFinite's Stock release (cleaned up a bit) because of the unmatched battery duration. My interest is piqued

you can get rid of the phantom voicemail by using Go SMS Pro and blacklisting it..
vvm has worked for me in all AOSP ROMs ..

Yes VVM has worked, and yes you can blacklist a number. But blacklisting doesn't stop notifications that several texts were missed, which can't be viewed because it's blacklisted. GoSMS gives you the additional option to view blacklisted messages, which will finally get rid of the notification. But now you're manually checking a VVM text, which has completely defeated the purpose of blacklisting it in the 1st place. This proved to be enough of an annoyance to return to a modified Stock ROM.
This was my experience with CM6. Have tried GoSMS several times but keep coming back to Handcent. If any AOSP has Sprint VVM notifications ignored, thus bypassing the issue above, then I'm all ears.
I tried flashing 'Gapps 5-22-2011 with Voicemail' and got an Installation aborted error message when verifying the update package.
E:Missing file: system/app/BooksPhone.apk
E:Verification failed.
I'm using AmonRA 1.6.2 for recovery.
Edit: Same error with just the plain Gapps in the OP. I ended up flashing a different gapps file and that flashed fine. Finishing up with setting up the phone, so far, so good.
Simply AOSP 4.0
NOT SO STANDARD DISCLAIMER:
I, nor any of the ERA team is (are?) responsible for bricked phones, damaged SD cards, bad flashes, hurt feelings, crying, sleepless nights, restless leg syndrome, constipation, Cher, or any of the other various things you may encounter by installing custom firmware on your phone. Reboot into recovery, wipe everything 3 times, select ROM. Those are your instructions. Anything you do outside of that is on you.
Changelog:
Completely new base ROM used. Ecooce's as-of-yet unreleased Frankenstein v.4 was used as the base for this version. Ecooce provided a very stable, very small ROM that works perfectly with the Simply AOSP we've come to know and love.
All of the latest and greatest build.prop tweaks have come together to create a very fast and stable ROM with excellent battery life.
Volume Hack (Thanks mkasick)
Hotspot Hack (Thanks necrosan)
RFS/EXT4 Compatible (Thanks Officerpolabear)
Wifi scan interval set to 5 minutes to save battery
Simply Settings theme app included
Original Moto Droid 1 AOSP wallpaper (The one that started it all! Well, sort of...)
Genocide 2.0 Kernel (Thanks Rodderick)
Root/SU in ROM rather than kernel, feel free to flash!
Journaling On by default
No default memory-killing settings: compatible with v6 supercharger and other great scripts (by popular demand!)
Audio files and sound defaults from Cyanogenmod used for alarms, notifications, ringtones, and UI. Really can't get more AOSP than that!
I know everyone says this, but there really is a lot included that isn't listed here. There was a lot of moving and tweaking until just the right mix was found.
Huge thanks to TheDub, JohnCorleone, Ksmullins, Compkid, the ERA Team, and a whole slew of other people that helped with testing and answering questions. I couldn't have done it without you!
A COUPLE OF NOTES:
Updated Changelog
We tried to correct all of the issues that people had mentioned; all of the original UI notification sounds are back, tts service has been put back which should correct any navigation fc's, Revolted kernel is included. Also the same hotspot hack files are included in this that I used in the ERA EC05 ROM, so everything should be good to go there.
As always, let us know what you find! Download Link Below!
HUGE, HUGE thanks to pvtjoker42. He has been instrumental in getting this release out as apparently my internet service provider forgot the "provider" part and I've had no way to upload this. Also his persistence and reliability in testing this ROM have been invaluable. Find him and thank him.
This is EC05 based
The lockscreen mod is NOT built into this ROM. A tough decision to make considering it is one of my very favorite mods, but in the end it detracted from the AOSP feel of the ROM.
After to speaking with TheDub who was kind enough to let me update his ROM, he has suggested not including other themes with the Simply Settings app. While there are many great themes out there, I have chosen to respect his wishes.
You will find the standard Froyo, Touchwiz, and Gingerbread themes included.
This ROM is small; about 117 MB actually. That was one of my goals because if you're anything like me I download a LOT of ROMs directly to my phone. That being said, there aren't a lot of apps included in there. Please make sure you have good, recent backups of anything you may want.
With all of that being said, please download and enjoy! I will be checking this thread OFTEN so please come back and let me know what you think. We have done a lot of testing with this and haven't found any ROM-related problems (personal note, don't try and load 137 apps all at once. It slows things down. Yep, that was me...)
Please let me know if you have run into anything and I will try my best to help you.

This is based off of Froyo. I try and leave all of the leaks to ksmullins and I kinda fool with all of our EC05 Roms. Until GB drops, that is, and I'm out of a job!
The hotspot and volume hacks are included but the lockscreen isn't. In order to add it (and I haven't tested this theory) I would think it best to use an AIO Mod rather than just the lockscreen mod as they seem to modify some of the same files and I'm not sure if everything would be functional afterwards.
Also, JohnCorleone and a couple of others had tested with various EC05 themes and found no problems. I would venture to say that 'most' EC05 themes should work just fine.

As long as you are on the most current CWM and wipe everything 3 times you should be fine. I've personally flashed between GB and Froyo countless times without any problems.
Anyone willing to provide some "sexy screenshots" of this ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
If no one else gets any put up I will try to get some screen shots tomorrow if I can. (That turned out about as non-committal as possible...truth is mine doesn't look like stock anymore but if need be I can reflash and take some.)

Thanks!! Wow, a new Froyo ROM, this late in the dance! I'm psyched!
JohnC or KyleS- any advice on themes? Do the B-Reezy themes that Kyle modified with Maddog's lock mod work ok? I will be trying out myself later- gotta mow the lawn first.

This is a Stock ROM for the KJ2 update that we never officially received. Its Deodexed and Rooted with the Modified recovery inside already, so you can use CWM.
Everything is Stock KJ2. The Kernel and Modem and everything else is untouched. Just rooted with the modded recovery, and deodexed.
Same install Method. Check mounts and remember to disable voodoo if you have it enabled or you'll soft brick (Remember this has a Stock Kernel!).
Stock KJ2-DEO-ROOTED

There may be various bug fixes, but there wont be anything MAJOR compared to the other stock ROMs. They are auto compiled and they dont give us a list of whats been addressed or not. You can try them out to see if you notice a difference, or if your happy with what you have keep it. Remember you can always make a backup and restore.
Downloading now. Thanks ayoteddy
Downloading now & switching base's for my new LRV2 to KJ2 if it's good enough .
Are u kidding me? how did I miss this. Crap. @ayoteddy where did you find the untouched stock version so I can get to deodexing another new base for my newest update.

There aren't any real new features to this version, there's some bugfixes (undisclosed, as it is a dev build), and some random new bloat widgets/apps.

Still, cut the fat, keep the meat of the ROM. This phone (like most of them) runs really well when you tear out the garbage that Samsung/T-Mobile preloaded on it. I've been playing with Undead9k's KG2-based ROM the past few days and removed even more stuff from the ROM (and added a couple of things I wanted) and it finally 'feels' like the old Sidekicks did. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from us having this update.
Got this flashed last night after some stupidity on my part. Thanks teddy for uping this! If you ever decide to release a bare bones version of this, I'd greatly appreciate it as I hate debloating ROM's. No T-Mobile stuff, no Amazon MP3, Books, and most of the Google crap (all but GMail, Marketplace, and Maps) removed.
This rom doesnt randomly force close like previous roms, nor does it reboot randomly either. Great job. Those were my only gripes with others, thanks!
Since install, this ROM hasn't bogged down on me at all. I only seem to have two small issues with it but if they could be eliminated, this would be a perfect stock ROM. After being plugged in to USB for a long period of charging, the phone can't play my custom ringtones. A reboot fixes this. The ringtone still shows there and the MicroSD is still mounted after being disconnected but even trying to reselect the same ringtone or another from the SD card just gives silence. Second issue is, heavy traffic causes data to fail. I can consistantly replicate this using Shazam to find song information. This does happen, as I said, only when the device is sending and receiving a lot of data. I'm going to try a different radio to see if this fixes that.
This is a literal stock rom, as being straight from Samsung, not just being in the design of stock. The only difference this has from stock is that it's deodexed and rooted, it's intended to be a base for those who like the stock system but want to be able to theme/mod it.
i've been searching a bit and haven't found the answer yet.
but does anyone know which rom should i get if i'm looking for a ROM similar to the stock rom? except with a few tweaks of course, and removed bloatware.
imo, i don't like these custom builds.. the UI format always changes. if i get used to a particular ROM, i'll have to make a change later down the line when i get a new phone.

To be honest the best you will have is mohans embryo based on stock with ROM customizer very closed thing you can get with stock and some tweaks. Besides that the next thing is mohans pure stock ROM and then u can search xda to add your tweaks your self

thanks for recommendation. i'll look up that ROM.
currently im using sky jellybean.. GPS doesn't work, as well as pinch zooming. those are 2 really important features for me, so im going to have to find a new ROM.
i have it installed, and so far so good. pinch to zoom actually works as well as GPS. that's all i really wanted. thanks.
Ya, Embryo is indeed your best option as it's stock based and ICS.

actually the data does not work. there's always something wrong with a custom ROM for me. maybe there is a fix for it, but i dont want to continue changing custom roms. think i'll just root the stock ics rom.
i've flashed to 4 roms now. sky ics was first. data did not work. then sky jellybean, where pinch to zoom didn't work along with GPS. now with this rom, then alien rom, where the rom would not load. data does not work but pinch to zoom and GPS work. kind of strange to me, since i never experienced this many issues with the galaxy s or the i777.

no, not really. i flashed the roms as per instructions except for the backup part. sky ICS didn't have the APN info set up by default, so i could have fixed the issue by adding the info.. but it was never provided in the original OP.
i just fixed the problem by adding all the APN info, which was not included in the OP. i was lucky and ran into a post with all the info on settings.

That's not luck; it's called reading. The dev doesn't have to include every little detail in the OP that will address every single possible issue. Knowing that data problems correlate to APN settings is common knowledge if you have read enough.

Firstly, I'm not sure is it right section since it is not "development" but simply ROM cleanup, so Mods please move this thread to whatever appropriate section if needed.
When I started using this phone I was looking for clean, junkless stock ROM and I couldn't find any (there are variations on custom ROMs that resemble the stock one, but not the actual stock ROMs with junk removed, or at least I haven't found one). Finally I learned how to root my phone and I did it myself, but for long time I couldn't find cure nor reason for the small but annoying problem described here. Later I have found out how to fix it, and now I have pretty good stock ROM with all the "custom" junk apps and outdated apps removed. I am using it myself and I have no problems whatsoever with it.
I thought I can share my recovery backup of this custom stock ROM if anyone else is interested in it?

Which version of the stock ROM are you basing this upon? Miktouch 0.7 is pretty much a cleaned up stock ROM, the last one that was released by HTC/T-Mobile (1.63.531.2). It still has some of the T-Mobile apps but they can easily be deleted.
