Many ICS roms are pretty stable and practically everything works.
I would suggest you look into uni-yuma-porn and remICS-UX .. those are my faves.
CM10 is absolutely amazing of course.. you can't beat the jelly beans
Gps works althought it causes a bit of lag when used, which would be a problem if you use it often. It's up to you really, what best fits your personal use

For a rock solid GB Rom you can't go wrong with Emancipation. ICS Yuma-uni-Porn is nice. Both have solid working BT/GPS/Wi-fi

I don't think it matters...but don't hold me to that one issue you may have come across is rainbow recovery (discoloration or static like lines) which indicates you need GB boot loaders. But since you got official GB through Samsung Kies you should already have them (that's how I got mine)...Buuttttt!! Do you have root?

My last phone was rooted ( on froyo from super one click ) but ive been reading that doesnt work well with gb. Any tips on easy rooter?

If that and superoneclick don't work for you, you may have to flash a pack through Odin that will give you root + cwm

Thanks. Could you provide links for getting the ROMS you recommend? When I go to the Cyanogen site, for example, they don't list the Infuse as a supported phone. So which one do you use to get the CM10?
Looking at the uni-yuma-porn it says to flash the Rom, then flash the GAPPS, but no clue on what GAPPS is or how to flash it.

You won't find it up in the cyanogenmod site. Our phone is not supported officially by them, but it has been developed unofficially. It works just as well as those official devices since it is build from the same repo.
All roms I mentioned are found right here on xda under infuse android development.
Gapps stands for google apps which includes the play store and many other apps such as the setup when you first boot your phone. They are often linked in every Rom that requires you flash them.

I believe the "flash gapps" is just the OP not updated. The early builds of uniporn the gapps had to be flashed separately but I believe they are included now

Same between odin cwm gapss it fets confusing so ur not alone but thanks ill try to root flash tonight hopefully
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

Just checking up on what everything is.
1. Cyanogen is an android custom firmware. -
2. aokp is an android custom rom base
3. porting simply changing the coding to fit from a similiar device to another
4. All the gb/ics/jb custom.roms.mainly run off altered and tailored versions of these 2.
5. odin used to flash and get a recovery in case of bricking.
6. clockworkmod (cwm) similar used for recovery.
So in essence from base of cyan firmware and aokp rom people make alterations and build platforms ex changing kernels, drivers, and cosmetics.
Hummm.... Believe im getting it..correct me if im wrong

Last time just tried MIUI and I can´t get the UI of ICS, Don´t remember what kind of version tired of MIUI though

Roms with aroma installers give you more options for you to customize the installation. Some frequent options are Gapps, kernels, additional apps and whatever the Chef decides to include.

Which custom ROM is most stable on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3? (September 2012)

Not looking for a JB ROM necessarily, just whichever one has the fewest problems, if any.
Thanks

beans if you want touchwiz, paranoid android if you want aosp.

I say cleanrom for most stable. But beans an clean rom are best place to start.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Very happy with paranoid 2.13
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

I'm using cleanrom, but I've tried beans as well. Both just work - no hassles.

I'm running synergy r68 and have had absolutely no issues with it or ziggys kernel.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

ran synergy r60 with zero issues.
switched the 9/6 build of paranoid android and have had zero issues.
i suggest trying a touchwiz rom and a CM10 rom and see whcih you prefer

Yea I should clarify that any of the Custom stock TouchWiz roms are stable, totally a preference thing ther...but on aosp, paranoidandroid 2.13 is by far the most stable!

Another happy CleanRom user here. I've only used stock (root66) and CM10 (still had too many issues for me as of a week or two ago).

Cleanrom/Cleankernel all the way baby!! Waiting for that lovely JB to drop (stable)

Gents, I'm a business user and though I like the feel and specs of the phone, most of the ROMs are kinda goofy with bright colors, silly fonts and the stock email app for corporate accounts is atrocious. Are any of the ROMs customizable to the point where I don't have to use yellow/brown/pink balloons in text, and can any of them support Visual VM?

Use jellywiz. The new leak has been running perfect for over a week now, and shouldn't be too different from stock to cause you any trouble

Guess that depends on what you you want stable. Theres a give in take with every rom you flash. If you want everything 'stable' stick with stock.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Why do people ask questions like this that have no real factual answers. The same ROM will run differently on a different phone/phone setup.
If you use the Trebuchet launcher you may get different/no bugs where as I, using Nova Launcher, will run into bugs...
The "unanswerability" of questions like these are half the reason they get locked up.

There is no best ROM for x to do y. Try using different ROMs to find what you like. Locked.

SGS3 Vanilla JB Rom?

Hello, so far I stuck with stock roms... first ICS now leaked JB... I really would like a plain vanilla jb rom still retaining the great features of the SGS3... can anybody point me in the right direction?

No such thing, as vanilla android is unaltered, i.e. the nexus devices.

I would say that cyanogen mod is probably as close as you'll get. Aokp is close too but has much more customization options.

There isn't one. Use cm10 and don't use the customization. Also you will not have the s3 features like motion controls, camera, etc.
You're best bet is to try a couple out and find what works for you.

I'm gonna work on building vanilla JB rom as soon as the semester ends......don't have enough time till then :\ Should be convenient timing as a lot of the leg-work is already complete

I've already started working on one, but its not looking very promising so far. Its really really difficult getting the build to cooperate, and then once I finally do get it to cooperate thenaybe it won't take too long to get some of the initial kinks ironed out so people can start testing. But at least if I cannot get the bugs worked out enough to post it for people to use there is someone else who will begin working on it shortly. So hopefully we will have a pure AOSP ROM soon, one way or another.

Omega ROM
Give Omega ROM a try, there is an optional to remove all SGS3 default bloatware that comes with it when you flash the ROM.
I am using it because this ROM is having all other SGS3 features like the motion control, stock camera, etc.:good:

[Q] Unsatisfied with Redemption ROM 2.0, don't know where to go from here

I had an Incredible, also with Verizon, that I rooted and had Cyanogenmod installed for almost the entire duration of owning the phone. I have the S3 now and I rooted it and flashed Redemption ROM 2.0, thinking it would be decent. It's not. I'm still on Ice Cream Sandwich and not really sure what my options are from here. I've heard there's a ton of bugs with CM10 (as expected, it's unofficial) and the rest of the ROMs for ICS in the list on this site don't really look appealing to me. Plus, I'm not entirely sure how to get to 4.1 from my 4.0.4.

Cleanroms by Scott have been my daily drivers. Scott is very on top of things. He answers about 99.9% of post. Fast, stable and great on battery.

There are ROMs that are based off the Android 4.1.1 leak provided by Samsung and Verizon. There are official nightlies for CM10 as well. You might want to check them out when you have the chance.

if you like cyanogenmod install it on your phone.
i hate touchwiz. ill never go back at this point. except to try any note 2 port that comes over

Clean rom 5 is a great daily driver. I run that with 4.2 camera and keyboard on top of it. It's updated frequently and gets great battery life.
Being based on tw is a downside for some people but it runs great.
I recommend it 100%
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

If you want AOSP that is solid try Slimbean, Eclipse, Liquid or ParanoidAndroid. They are all solid and work great IMO. I got bored with AOSP and recently went back to TW based Clean ROM.... With all the Aroma options and themes it is wicked nice, fast and super stable!!!!

I am running JellyBam 4.1.0 right now. But while I am typing this I am downloading JellyBam 5.1.0 based on JellyBean 4.2.1 I've also tried Omega ROM, RootBox ROM but none of them are close to JellyBam. I think JellyBam is the best ROM for Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100.

Isn't this kind of redundant in the General forum where there isn't any one device? Especially seeing as you're talking about specific ROMs rather than bases (i.e. not something like AOSP, MIUI, TouchWiz, Sense etc.). If I said I was using NexusHD2 JB would that really mean anything or make a difference to your choice?

miui v4 from MaxWorks Neo V.Very good ROM and smooth:good:

Your an idiot. I was trying to get a poll or collection of pros and coins about your rom . nothing said here is for me to decide the ROM I want. I chooses based of my own parameters not people decisions. Just thought I could get a page about everyone's ROMs and why they chose it. You don't have to be a douche about it.

I must say battery life on Baked rom and Purity v12 kernal is insane! Very Good. Can't say the same on Paranoid even if they had the same settings.

I'm running Darthstalker v#8 as well what a super awesome rom super smooth and stable no glitches and good battery life I highly recommend it. I also have the Avatar rom and PacMan as backups that I switch up once in a while.
