How is ICS now?

I decided not to flash it when the first leak came out but has development gotten any further?
I saw a lot of people saying it wasn't that great and wanted to go back to GB.. and that battery life isnt too great either?

There has been alotnof development, and they have progressed nicely, fixing many of the ics leak flaws. I recommend sky pics 4.2, super lite 5.2 or team perfection stock revamped

You can always flash an ics rom and test it yourself. I did a backup with cwm and did it all on my phone. Didn't like how the phone function would just stop working when I got to below 15% and I ended up restoring to GB via cwm

Sounds like an improper flash, but the rest is true

Former Droid X User Needs Help Transitioning

I'm making the transition from my old Droid X to the VZW Galaxy S3, and I have a few questions. The flashing process between these two phones are quite different and perhaps another ex-Droid X user (or just an all around knowledgeable person) could help me out.
1. To my knowledge, we were never able to flash Kernels on the Droid X because of its locked bootloader. So how does Kernel flashing work? Are there certain kernels that only pair with certain roms, or can you flash any kernel you like with any rom? I have a feeling it's the former, as I've already seen kernels categorized i.e. Touchwiz Kernels or CM10 based kernels.
2. With the Droid X, all roms were flashed using CWM. But with this phone that's not always the case right? Some may require a kexec method or even a custom recovery image, correct?
3. I've seen a few roms recommend backing up IMEI / MEID / EFS data before flashing. Is something I should consider doing whenever I flash, just as one would do a nandroid backup?
4. I've seen a few threads mentioning flash count, resetting flash count, etc. Should I be concerned with flash count? If so, why?
5. With the Droid X, before you could flash a rom, you had to make sure the firmware you were on was compatible with whatever rom you were trying out. For example, if you wanted to try cm7 you had to flash over the stock froyo kernel. If you wanted to try miui you had to flash over a stock gingerbread kernel. However, it would seem, with the S3 you can flash any rom (whether it be an ics rom or a jb rom) over stock 4.0.4. Is this correct? Can you flash an ics rom over the top of a jb rom? Or do you always have to revert back to ics stock?
6. Is Odin the Samsung equivalent of rsd lite?

1. Flashing kernels has been made as simple as flashing ROMs
2. kexec is outdated since the bootloader got unlocked. You can also still use CWM on this or there's another recovery that people like called TWRP (Download an app called EZ-Recovery from the play store, youll need it to flash any recovery)
3. Losing IMEI is a royal paiin in the arse, but it's rare. Either way you want to back it up. I believe the guide on how to do so is in the Development Forum.
4. I haven't tripped the flash count. Basically all it is is a way for Verizon to tell if you been f'in with your phone. I Believe that only AOSP/AOKP ROMs can trip it, not stock ROMS
5. It's a bit simpler flashing between ROMs on this phone. Just wipe data/factory reset and flash away. For the most part.
6. Yes it is basically.
Check the guide out in my sig, it'll explain how to do most everything in detail.

To Elaborate on this just a bit, yes it is as easy as flashing roms but you were correct in saying that there are aosp kernels and there are tw kernels. just make sure the os version (ICS, JB) and the framework (TW, AOSP) match your rom and you are good to go!

If you are just getting your feet wet with tw roms, you might consider giving Bean's a try. I've been using Build 9 since it dropped and it's smooth.
imo, it's themed just enough to not look like a straight tw rom, the performance is great and the battery life is fantastic as well.
I've tried synergy once or twice and was never quite completely satisfied with it.

I haven't run CM or MIUI or any other AOSP ROM on this phone so take this with a grain of salt;
If you want cool stuff and constant bugs/lack of normal features go with the AOSP....
If you want some cool stuff and a nice stable daily driver... go with the TW ROMs. I've been running Synergy since 1.2(or 3 I cant remember lol) and I love it. Everything works on it, it's stable, and it's currently being ported to Jelly Bean so I can't wait for that shtuff. Eschelon and the rest of his team are good about listening to feature suggestions/requests too when they got time so more and more will be added.

The moral of the story...Try out a few different roms What is amazing for one person might not be for the next. I'm flashing new roms every few days because I always want to see what else is out there.

Yea I had beans for a little while... I honestly cant remember why I switched. I was just suggesting he stick with the TW ROMs period cuz I dont feel the AOSP ROMs are anywhere near stable enough yet.

Don't want to hijack OP's thread, but do any of you know how to check flash counter?
I will be getting my FOURTH sg3 this week, and this is the first time I will be returning a phone that I had rooted/unlocked/rommed. I'm all back to stock, just want to make sure I don't get a bill for $600.

How "rare" is it to lose the IMEI after flashing? And is losing your IMEI a possibility flashing any ROM or just certain ones like CM10 or AOSP, or are TW and Stock roms susceptible to this as well?

I honestly don't know. One of the devs for Synergy ROM said something to the effect its "a weird Samsung reboot code and so the phone automatically restores a bad backup of your IMEI. It's a fluke thing"
It's 100% random when flashing anything I believe.

If u use the synergy Rom to flash it automatically has a script to back up your meid number and stuff. I've flashed synergy official cm10 nightlies without a hitch. Just make sure that u obtain root and unlock the bootloader and flash recovery. Thus far I've had no problems. Btw synergy Rom is the best one out there. Jellywiz is a jb Rom it is awesome but only thing that doesn't work is sms at the present time. If u want to back up ur meid best tool to use is qpst just Google it. Also all in one tool that has been great for me unlocking obtaining root and stuff is Verizon gs3 casual tool. In order to use that tool u mist have java se framework which u can find at the java website. Any questions feel free to shoot me a message! Good luck!

Just to clarify. Synergy is a stock tw based rom and CM10 is well a cm based rom. Two different monsters and roms entirely.

I found this thread which looks like the Synergy guys made a script to backup IMEI. I gave it a go and was succesful in backing it up. Seemed much easier than the QPST method. Don't know if it will actually restore, but hopefully I'll never have to find out.

[Q] JB ROM Recommendation...

Morning gentlemen. First time to this GS3 Verizon thread as I'm an ATT guy myself.
Anyways, there was some holiday the other day involving seeing lots of family and eating turkey and what not, and my father and I were comparing phones (my ATT GS2 Skyrocket, rooted, JB 4.1.2) (his Verizon GS3 stock unrooted). The short story of it is is that he really hates S-Voice and was drooling over Google Now that was on my phone. I told him the best way for him to get Google Now (for more reasons than just getting GNow) was for him to root his phone and then flash a JB rom. I would've done it myself but I was in a time crunch and didn't have a computer with me. He said he'd be willing to do it himself, just send him the instructions on how to do it.
I have the beginners guide that will get his phone rooted, flash CWM, etc. Now, however, I'm trying to decide on a ROM for him. For him, obviously GNow is the priority. He doesn't really need any bells and whistles, so here's where my question is. I know a ton of noobs come in here and ask "which ROM is best?" and we roll our eyes and tell them it depends on their specific needs/every ROM suits a different person/etc.
Well I'm just hoping one of you guys will point me in the right direction. I want an extremely stable JB rom. It doesn't need to have all the latest bells and whistles; it just needs to be stable, as it's his phone and we live nowhere near each other so I won't be around to troubleshoot a beta rom for him. It might as well be a "stock" JB ROM but man that sounds boring, so even a slightly prettier but uber-stable ROM recommendation would be great.
And to take it one step further in my ROM request... extra extra bonus points for a stable ROM that is easy to flash. The more idiot proof the instructions to flash the said ROM, it'd be greatly appreciated. The more one-clickish it is in CWM the better. I'm sure he can handle doing a data wipe/factory reset and maybe even a cache wipe but I'm hoping to avoid sending him a ROM to flash that asks him to wipe all caches, format the /system, flash a new kernel, gapps, radio, etc.
Who can point me in the right direction and recommend a highly stable JB rom with GNow that is extremely simple to flash?

I'd say synergy. I run a business from my phone so my criteria is stability. It's my daily driver and haven't had any problems as of yet. You'd still want to do a clean install going from ICS to JB though, regardless of what rom you choose.

Except for RC8 which is very buggy, I have had really good luck with the liquid ROMs.
With versions previous to RC8, the only thing that refused to work for me was NFL Mobile.

Liquid Smooth Rom! I have run them all, it's definitely my favorite. I also use it as a daily driver. Like stated in a previous post, RC8 is buggy, but I have had similar bugs from every rom I have flashed.

CleanRom 5.0. It is like stock but without the bloat. It's smooth fast and retains all of his touchwiz features. Very very stable.

Clean ROM
I am currently using Clean ROM 4.5 since I haven't had a chance to flash 5.0 yet. I find Clean ROM to be very stable and you can have it either very vanilla or mod it to your heart's content. You should still do a full wipe but you don't have to format anything. It would be best to flash the new radio and rpm but you don't have to do that. The process is simple: copy the radio, rpm and ROM zips to phone, go into CWM, do your wipes, flash radio, rpm, ROM in that order, restart, done.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at the mentioned ROMs!

I'll throw in another vote for Synergy. Running r118 right now and also haven't had any issues. Followed this guide to root, unlock bootloader, install CWM, and install the stock JB image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114 . Very well written as long as you just go step by step and read everything 3 times.
Installed the latest Synergy ROM after all that and as stated I really haven't had any issues at all! I VERY briefly tried the CleanROM LE v4, but I really didn't care for the 5x6 launcher. It was nice to have more icons available on the screen, but it always chopped off part of the app name if it went onto 2 lines. I may have been able to change it back to 4x4, but to be honest I didn't really even want to mess with it as Synergy's was working great! Good luck!

After installing Synergy onto my dad's phone for him (visited him over the weekend) he calls me back and tells me he has issues with syncing up his corporate exchange email account that worked fine on the stock ICS. After some quick googling and XDA searching, apparently corporate exchange emails and JB don't play together very nicely. Can someone recommend a stable ROM that you personally know works with exchange email because you use it yourself? Or are there any simple workarounds?

2.3.6 VictoryRom -> ?

Hi Guys,
I'm currently on 2.3.6 VictoryRom v1.1 which new ROM has ICS and will give me the best performance?
Will it be as simple as installing from .zip using clockwork?
Thanks for the help!

To use ICS roms you have to upgrade to ICS first.
As for roms, it's all personal opinion what is best. If HDMI/lapdock support isn't essential for you, I would recommend CM10.

Uhh..no CM10 is actually really stable. There are a couple really minor bugs left.. but it's Jelly Bean so it's smooth as butter (project butter) and is well worth the tiny bugs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869692

yeah, cm10 is very stable.. no random reboots or anything for me.. sure it has a few bugs, but nothing to stop you from using it as your daily driver. Actually what keeps making me go back to cm10 is that its so friggin smooth and ofcourse the little customisations you can do and themes..
For the OP, I dunno much about the GB roms, but id recommend both cm10 and and magicmod with performance and customisations in mind and that they are JB based
If you want full functionality, then all the ICS roms are good, just read thru the threads for the ROMs and devs description and screenshots and try the one according to need.. the latest one is numa and the first one is SCV7 which still is one of the best roms for our phone on ICS. If you ask me, you'll know which one to use only after youve flashed enough
Also remember to read the devs description of the ROM and how to flash properly, cause you need to use different recoveries for different ROMs. So better if you read up as much as you can. Do keep a backup of your stock ICS on ur sdcard, (i have like 3 now stock, cm10, numa) but you know how it goes, since youre already on a ROM..
Mostly youre gonna love your phone more after you get on ICS and flash one of the ICS and JB roms. Happy flashing !
EDIT: i missed it, but better if you post questions in the Q&A thread..

Thanks for the reply. I'll try CM10.
When installing ICS, will all I need to do is install .zip Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip? for ICS leak#1 or will I have to downgrade first?

anyway from my side a BIG THANK YOU to you and Jim.. for putting so much work on this tread.

I loved Victory Rom. I'm sad to hear there wont be another one for my A2

CleanROM 5.6

I wanted to post a BIG thank you to the devs at CleanROM 5.6 but since I'm a newb it wouldn't let me post in the CleanROM development section. Just wanted to say THANK YOU! What a HUGE improvement to stock. I installed Tuesday late afternoon and yesterday was my first full day on it. 15 hours of normal use (lots of texting, a few 10-15 minute phone calls, facebook etc) and I was still on 50% battery!
This is a GREAT Rom and I will continue to use this one as my DD-
Thank you!!!

Running CleanROM 5.6 with LeanKernel 1.6 seems to be a great combination.

I agree with you. It was my daily driver for a few weeks and I absolutely enjoyed it. It was a professionally handled rom.

Best ROM out there by far.
I couldn't agree more.

I absolutely love this Rom as well. Unfortunately for me I will be reverting back to rooted stock. That's the only way my GPS with Maps will work. I tried EVERY suggestion recommended. I tried GPSFix. I tried GPS Status. I even followed instructions on flashing A GPS PATCH and it installed correctly. Tried again same thing. Locks but when I start moving it jumps around. I try to navigate somewhere it shows me in another state. All messed up. When I go back to stock with root I have no problems. Oh well.
Edit; Went back to stock everything on my phone and still having GPS issues. I guess I'm gonna have to go get myself a replacement phone

I too have had the best experience with CR. Jumped on board around 2 or so. I've tried others but keep coming back to CR. Best battery, stability, and support. Thanks Scot!

I've been running CR lite for a long time and that's only ROM that is not flickering on email. I am loving this a lot.

5.6 is the newest.
When new update is released. Down load ROM and simply dirty flash over 5.6
For lean kernel. One must download and place in SD card.
Boot into recovery.
Flash or install ( whatever you call it) the kernel.
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Fix permission.
