His name is lithium76 here on xda.

HOW TO INSTALL:
1. Place zip on root of SD card.
2. Boot into cwm, take a nandroid.
3. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.
-----3a. Or use darkside wipe.
4. Install zip from SD.
5. Reboot system. Enjoy

Hey, just a heads up.
I'm thinking you might want to work off of the stock MIUI build. Don't install the AOKP kernel. The UCVL8 kernel has everything except orientation working. No other bugs. Nothing. Zilch.
Contact me if you want any help.

Yo waffle house. You got a menu? I can't make up my mind anymore.

Ya.. maybe it is just 'one' of the ROMs that has it for the S3 but if you are trying to choose between some of those ROMS to get your multi-window feature then here is just my opinion between Synergy/Galaxy Mod.
If you want an easy, stable, feature complete ROM that isn't all about making it look fabulous (and most fail at the fabulousness), and feels polished... then Synergy is where it is at.
Day one from when I got my S3 I started with Synergy... ran great... but I decided to try Galaxy mod because of people talking about it's battery life and I was having a battery drain issue and ran it for a day. I was just disappointed with it's mods/tweaks/style that it tried to incorporate that didn't seem polished, work right, and clashed with the base style.
Went back to Synergy ROM with a full wipe, battery life had improved, and I haven't strayed since. However, I honestly don't care though for the other ROMs that already come pre-themed, and the other ROMs available just do not have the feature set.

Re-download it check md5 sums or try to open the zip if it opens that usually means it's good then wipe and flash.

also, and not trying to sound like a smart a$$ but make sure you are rooted first; some of the options will require you to have an unlocked bootloader as well.

Well what browser are you downloading these roms with? Try a different one cuz its unusual for multiple and different roms to fail in recovery then exact same way. If you're saving them to your external sd card, reformat that card then try download/flash again.

So even now, with multi window, do you still feel it's very stable? I'm on Jelly 'beans' b10. I never tried b9 with multi window because in the forum they said it wasn't as stable and that the other roms with multi were having the same problem (stability).
Do you agree? I'm thinking about giving Synergy a shot.
Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

It is extremely stable. For a super stability when in the aroma installer choose custom install, read everything carefully as you go, check anything that says it will increase or maximize stability, and to reduce the chance of any random or quirky thing from happening choose stock kernel.

Having minor issues on Synergy

Hey everyone. I'm running the latest version of Synergy and I've been having some issues. First, every now and then my screen will freeze and the only way for me to correct it is by locking and unlocking my phone. Second, I noticed that after a reboot my battery percentage is no longer showing. I have to go into settings and uncheck and recheck the option to display battery percentage. Lastly, after I reboot I've noticed that my default input method (which is swiftkey) will be changed to the Samsung keyboard. Again, I have to go into settings and change that as well. Does anyone know of any fixes for these issues? I've reflashed synergy several times and I still have the same problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Sent from my Synergized S3 using Tapatalk 2

You should help out the community to get your 10 posts to post this in the synergy thread, but anyways I can help on some
For SwiftKey back it up with titanium Backup delete the app and then restore it, you won't have that problem anymore.
For the 1st one it really depends on the kernel you are running, you try various kernels in the original development section for this device.
As for the percentage I am unaware of that as I do mot run that rom.

Im curious you're original flash method. Can you describe what rom you were on before and how you got here? What in getting at was did you wrote data/cache/dalvik a couple of times each? Also have you tried redownloading the rom and clean flashing it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I was stock before synergy. When you flashed this rim it gives you the option to do a superwipe. I did that plus I wipes cache/dalvik/and performed a factory reset before doing the superwipe. I'm not sure on how to get 10 points so that I can post this in the synergy thread.

It definitely sounds like you did everything right on your end. Did you check the md5 of the original zip you flashed? Bad downloads can cause weird stuff like that.

How do i check the md5? And if it is bad I just have to download it again and reflash it right?

I keep a tool in my dropbox that does if. Let me find a link.
Yes if it matches the one you saw when you downloaded the rom then we know it's a good download otherwise try downloading again and flash once more.

The screen freeze I had on synergy using ziggy kernel. Had to raise the voltage or flash it with stock kernel. Ziggy's kernel doesn't play well with some phones. Great battery life but my phone wouldn't handle it.

You can always try since all phone play on kernels differently first try a 25 step and keep going up once you see the freezing stop, but keep in mind some kernels may not be for your phone so it's always good to experiment with other kernels to find your best battery and performance results.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Thanks for the suggestions. Where can I find other kernels? I'm going to play around with the ziggy kernel to see if I can fix the freezing.

SGH-I727 Peace

It is compiled from official cm-10.2 sources
So, I assume it is safe, just as stock CWM can be

It flashed fine and seems to accept regular backups. The interface is sweet looking. I like it. Way better than the previous bare bones one, as far as looks go. As soon as I find a new ROM to flash I'll give it whirl. Good job dude.

This is my point. Will PhilZ recovery properly write partitions? Specifically /data, as I believe that is the problematic one due to SELinux.

1- Read the few pages of the thread
2- This is based on celox, and all celox based devices I support do work perfectly
3- Either test and report or watch the thread and wait without cluttering it with useless comments
4- Ask in FAQ if you are impatient to wait for others to test it for you
Sorry, monitoring +70 threads for support/feedback. If I have to refresh them all just for useless comments, I am wasting my time

I'll make our position clear on that statement. We recommend a specific recovery so that we can rule out certain items when debugging issues, that is all. We are not making a recommendation based on "what is the best recovery available", it is a consistency decision that helps us when issues arise related to the file system, flashing, etc.
@Phil3759 - thanks for building this for the skyrocket.

Go back to 4.2 or MF1?

So 4.3 drains the crap out of my battery. I only get 3G in areas I use to get 4GLTE. It won't stay connected to wifi. My wifi home is comcast blast! and it's always disconnecting from it and says it's unstable.
My phone seems to be a slower too.
Of course I know the reason for these hassles is because the update, since my phone didn't do this before.
Rollback or downgrade to the last version possible?

Not possible.
You can root though, and disable system apps that could be causing you problems.
I'd download wakelock detector or better battery stats and look for wakelocks. Sometimes disable a few rogue apps could solve some problems.

Use the safestrap and install one of the modified versions of the 4.3 . I am having great battery life and good signal with old&slows version.

So safestrap is a custom rom? The last time I used a custom rom, my gs3 factory reset itself at random times at least once every few days.

That's usually from bad installation procedures and not wiping correctly.
Safestrap is a modified twrp recovery that allows you to load custom roms. You can load any 4.3 touchwiz rom in the development section with it. You shouldn't have those rebooting issues you did before, and it sounds like pretty much everything will run better for you then the stock rom you have now.

No, Safestrap makes slots for different roms. Your original rom remains untouched.
You're going to have to read up on it and understand what you're doing. Put a fair amount of research into it, it's not terribly difficult but it is a different process.
