What is the best Rom for Verizon GS3? in terms of speed and performance

I wonder what's the fastest stable rom for the verizon Galaxy S3, in terms of Speed and performance, Personally I think Senergy is the one, any other Ideas... thanks

I think it comes down more to how bloated/bloatfree the rom is and the kernel imo
I'm pretty happy with my JB AOKP rom, though and feel JB is quicker than ICS

Ya all the mainstream cm10 roms are overwhelming since there are 4+ of them and I have no idea what separates them.

CM10 nightlies are decently stable, very fast, ParanoidAndroid nightlies are pretty stable and fast. Synergy is good, but for me there was a delay in the screen unlocking and the in call volume setting won't stick. I've been using CleanRom 2 now, all is good

Clean ROM 2.0 is very fast an most of all, stable.

Synergy definitely. Currently testing out the new ParanoidAndroid for now though.

Personally I use almost all roms, and I was Senergy fan, but some how Clean Rom is the fastest, smoothest and most stable GS3 Rom I've ever seen, it's smooth like a babe, lol

I really got to try clean rom. I'm just too addicted to the dark horse rises theme and synergy's utter greatness. Personally I think right now (today) the jb rom's are just not there yet, but that's just me. Tomorrow is a different story.....

I much prefer CM10 to Synergy or Clean Rom. Tried them both and for some reason I just love the look and responsiveness of CM10 more. Granted there are data hiccups here and there but the latest nightly has fixed that issue. Try experimenting with different kernels and ROMs and im sure you will find a combination that works best for you.

TW has some good features I'd hate to give up - e.g. the video player, camera, music player are all fantastic apps, better than anything in AOSP.

The video player is outstanding although there you can run multiple programs in AOSP to replace it
I agree the camera is irreplaceable
I only use Play Music so I cannot comment too much on the TW music player
But ParanoidAndroid (scarce bugs aside) really is so unique I can't go back to TW at this current time

If you want stability go with 4.0

To be honest I've tried every Rom. And even stock this phone is buttery smooth. I have had almost every high end android phone Verizon has sold. The s3 is the only phone out of a about my 8 other phones I've had in the last few years that I have never seen lag or stutter. It is perfect and always smooth. Way better then the GNEX or rezound I had. I've had the s3 since launch in July and I have not seen it lag yet. This phone has truly impressed me and I'm very picky.

So I had to upgrade......

I broke my Gnex by dropping it down 2 flights of concrete stairs, and was forced to upgrade. So I picked this puppy up and I've gotta say, this isn't bad at all. Battery life on my typical day of work is great for what I do with it and the rest speaks for itself. Good choice I must say. Any recommendations on ROMs or Kernels? Any other thoughts?
This is my batt life for today.....

I'm a big fan of AOSP, CM10 is my fav ROM with stock kernel. You will of course need to root, unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery to be able to install it, but I suggest you give it a shot.

You have to way your options for me I love aosp look but cannot find a better camera than what tw offers currently so synergy or clean are good roms for a stock debloated tw aokp and cm have been good to me for aosp would suggest the m cm over nightlies but just my opinion

Just trying to see what is everyones favorite ROM and why. So many to choose from not sure what to try.
Looking for something more stable though.
Thanks

CM10 M1 for aosp JellyBean, its very stable and fast
Synergy 1.7 for Touchwiz, its fast, crazy battery life, and has the mod for changing songs via the volume rocker with the screen off, some of the newer synergy builds had a delay in waking the phone for me
CleanRom is also nice, fast and great battery

Just make a backup and flash away not every phone is going to have the same experience someone else did. Your best bet is to just try them all out stick with what meets your needs best.

I like Synergy as well, but it freezes a lot and restarts the phone. It seems to go in cycles... I can go days without it and then there will be several within a couple of minutes.

In my opinion, Clean ROM is the most stable ROM available. I have been running 2.1 for a while and just updated to 2.5 with out any problems or crashes. I highly recommend! Scrosler is the bomb!:good:

I've gotta throw a vote in for Jellywiz... It's not the greatest on battery life, but it's a great daily driver.
I also liked Synergy ROM as well.

CleanROM for touchwiz, AOKP for AOSP jellybean.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

My favorite so far for Jellybean has been Jellywiz, but it was a little buggy for my taste last time I ran it. The hot reboots were killing me.
Daily driver right now is CleanROM 2.1 with Clean Kernel 1.2, Dirty Tweaks 2.3 and Kinda Crap Mods. Best setup I've had over the past month, and really gives me the functionality and feel I like. I've flashed other stuff and keep restoring CleanROM.
But, you gotta try them out for yourself.

I gotta jump in here and spread some aosp love!! Paranoid 2.13 and Codename Android 3.6 are fantastic daily drivers. Ive been using CNA since Sunday. Super smooth, lots of customization, theme chooser, new SMS/MMS pop up,, etc...
When paired with lean kernel battery life is definitely do able!
You should at least give them a try!!

Fast, great battery life and TROUBLE FREE rom --- Clean Rom!

CleanROM. Looks like stock, very stable and incredible battery life.

I've been running synergy since day 1 and been lovin it, had it on my dinc as well, amazing battery life, superb performance and no reception problems at all. I like the fact that one of they're main priorities is completely relinquishing Verizon's control over devices. I've heard good things about Clean as well but haven't had the need to flash anything else. SynergyROM!!

currently using cm10 and have the same mod for changing songs via the volume rocker.

Overall i like the AOSP based roms best. The just tend to have a number of things not work or work well (GPS, audio issues, strength of signal, etc...). The TW ROMS are best with the stable releases, unless you like testing with daily.
I have most success doing complete wipes and a regular flash to stock when i hit weird issues.
CleanROMS are really fantastic, Beans is VERY innovative (just unstable on my phone), CM10 is great but will really come into its own when the issues are fixed.
Keep in mind that what is stable on one phone may not be on the next.

Verizon GS3
I am still pretty new to this however, a little background. I just switched over from drinking the Iphone cool-aid. Ever so thankful that I did! Im running AOKP Build2. I love it however the battery life eats it big time. I see everyone talking about Clean Rom and I think that is about what I want. Am I understanding correctly that Clean Rom is pretty much bare bones? All I care about is "Butter" and battery life! Thanks in advance from a noober!

My favorites due to reliability and use as a daily driver. Haven't had any issues with these gems:
Synergy - whatever the latest ICS touchwiz version is. (Using Imo's LeanKernel)
Code Name Android - whatever the latest version is. (Using KT747 Kernel)

+1 to CodenameAndroid. The sh*t is BEAST! I've always kept restoring back to Synergy because I never was truly satisfied with any other Rom. With CNA I've never even thought once about going back.

Gingebread ics or jellybean

I really hate how I flash a new from every day. I though jb was good at first but not like everyone else I have my doubts. A little to "heavy" doesn't feel right on my phone. I really appreciate ics and it feels alright on my phone, but I really miss gingebreads reliability and speed, just curious, does anyone else feel the same? Should I just switch to gingerbread again? Is other a way to keep some features of ics on gingerbread?

I used to run CM7 and CM9 on my i9023 nexus s.. and I found CM7 to be really unstable. I switched to a CM9 nightly and it was a godsend.. smoother, more attractive and 10x more stable! but I found it sort of "slowed down" after about 3 months.. just a circumstantial observation though, didn't do any tests.
I'm hooking up my friends with a couple of Nexus S's shortly because they need phones. I'm thinking of giving them CM9, rather than 10, for better battery life. But I'm guessing CM9 is susceptible to the SMS remote wipe hack? haven't tested it.

Personally I never liked cyanogenmod up until 9.0 , I'm on cm9 right now but it random reboot & hangs :/ cm10 seems pointless to me.

I have stuck with stock one on both my droids. I find these roms useless because I have always found an app that can do what these roms can do

i try most roms out thier , the best are slim cm9, remics 1.1 both ics

Whatif the phone's rom memory gets a few bad blocks due to repetitive flashing?

Remics is probably one of the best roms I've seen put out for nexus s, so nice , but I just feel the need to switch sometimes. And I had no idea that that would effect my phone

true dat. I remember when AOKP came out with their first JB rom, it was so unstable; rebooted my phone every 10 mins and I flashed cm10 and was happy for a while but it then started to do the same thing. Then i went to paranoid and it was even worse; so i went back to cm10. and then AOKP JB build came out and i was skeptical about getting it because of my first experience with them but I gave it a try and I have been flashing AOKP all the way up to build 4 and let me tell you; BEST ****ING ROM ON JB right now. My phone never crashes; never lags, and is super crazy smooth/fast!

Thing is, every rom is fast and smooth right after you flash it. In order to talk so good about one, I'd say you need to keep it for, at least, 3 months. If it's still stable and fast, with no wipes needed, no daily reboots, I'd believe you.

AOKP JB is very stable now. I haven't wiped since the nightlies, up to build 4 currently. I flash new build/nightly as soon as it's available. 3 months? Don't think I can hold for even a few days after new build is released.

Need a new ROM?

Ive been rocking CM for sometime now with this phone and all previous ones, and I do like it its been my dd, but im looking for something different. Now I know this is/can be opinionated and subjective to users, but I would like to get into a good discussion about my next ROM for my S3.
So lets see what you bring to the table.

JellyBeans, CleanROM and HELLSROM are great, stable and fully supported. Check them out. I go between them and am currently on 4.2.1 HELLSROM

Depends on if you want a TouchWiz ROM or an AOSP ROM

Well I'd like to stick with AOSP or AOKP

If you want to try something completely different and stay with AOSP, i suggest trying MIUI.

I've been running CleanROM 5.6 with LeanKernel 1.6 for a couple of days now. I've never used a version of CleanROM that wasn't stable.

If you want a stable AOSP ROM that doesn't have much bugs you would have to go to late versions such as Milestone 1 release of AOKP, but if you want a TouchWiz ROM with a 4.2 AOSP feel HellsROM (recent development so will have a few bugs) would be perfect.

Ya, I tried touchwiz for a while for some reason battery life isn't as balanced as in AOSP ROM's atleast for me anyway, but performance wise they are pretty smooth.

I guess the problem is there are so many spread out across so many forums it's very difficult to get them in one spot.
I've been looking at what's been mentioned but still nothing has jumped out at me. I guess I need to choose one and go with it, unless I should wait for something to come out

The newest version of cleanrom is my personal favorite. Its very fast, clean, lite, and super stable. I don't have a single issue with anything on this rom. Its updated every now and then but not to fix issues because there are none, but to make it even better by removing more crap from the system to make battery life even better. I've tried a bunch of roms and I get better battery life, faster and smoother performance, perfect stability, and overall happiness with this rom than anything else that I've tried. Along with the k3 modem and rpm its perfect. I got 1 day and 4.5 hours off a single charge before I got to 10% battery with medium use (using my phone as I normally would, without purposefully letting it standby to save battery). If I had to pay $50 to have this rom, I'd do it. Flash it and give it a couple days and you'll see why.
