I would like to flash to the CleanROM 2.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832070
But it says it's based on G7.
My current baseband for my GS3 is the VRALHE.
Can I still use it?
I know there is another CleanROM Ultra Lite, but I would like to aroma features.
Yes you can do that. No problem.
Your modem and RPM will still be HE, but kernel and system will be G7.

I've only used CR of those three but am a happy camper and have no reason to switch.
Using CleanROM and I think this is better.
Less crap to deal with.
I like the clean-ness lol
I use cleanrom 2.1 soley for the kernel and love it. I will upgrade to 2.5 once the source code is released so cleankernel can be updated to work with it correctly.
Ive pretty much have tried every rom and kernel for this phone and always comeback to cleanrom if that helps you to choose. Its pretty much personal preference so try all of em. Just make sure if the rom comes with a kernel to flash back a stock kernel if the next rom isnt compatiable with it.

I throw a vote in for CleanROM as well, works flawlessly. I have had no reboots, problems, etc.
Also its easy to throw on add-ons. Superfast.

Yes. I'm using it with all HE based firmware/kernel/radio. Once you flash CleanROM 2.5 it will install the G7 kernel. I went ahead and flashed the HE kernel back afterwards, and it's been running great for me. Not everyone has the same results, so you may want to keep some nandroid backups of various combinations until you find one you are happy with.
I've tried most of the current ROMs out there, and of the 3, I like CleanRom. However, my fav right now is Liquidsmooth.

So, I hate to be that guy but.... I'm rooting my buddy's gs3 tonight and I wanna set him up with a nice stable custom rom...
Any suggestions?
I was thinking Synergy or Beans based on views/replies.
OR...
Should I just root it and leave the stock? Basically I wanna know if any of the ones out right now are just as stable as stock?
TIA
Any of the three touchwiz ROMs are stable and good dailys. Just pick the one that suits him best.
Clean ROM is the most stock
Beans looks the most aosp and cones with custom kernel so boot loader u lock is needed.
Synergy is on nightlies now so you might want to go with whatever stable version they have.

Go with synergy 1.7 if you dont wana unlock bootloader yet. Very stable. If you need instructions lmk

I have used clean, synergy, and beans. An on clean now, would rate in this order:
1. Clean
2. Synergy
3. Beans
Have fun

I'm on beans and it's very stable. His custom installer on version 9 was very cool. The installer gives you the option to install on a locked or unlocked bootloader.
I would defnitely go with CleanRom 2.0! probably the best out of the bunch right. im running it with no problems at all on the stock kernel. Excellent battery life as well.
I would also go with CleanROM 2.0. I have tried Beans and Synergy, but Clean is just smooth, the battery life is great and its almost bug-free.:good:
Thanks to all. Appreciate it.
I also have tried them all. This would be my suggestions:
Beans
Clean
Synergy
They are all good and depending on what your looking for you will find the best one for you.

How come you don't have to unlock bootloader why synergy?
just rooted/unlocked, looking for something to flash. not looking for something with nightly builds, just want something faster that has everything working properly. phones a bit laggy right now, and was hoping to fix that (mostly dealing with messaging)
Well i recommend synergy even though it has nightly builds, it gets better every night
flashed synergy as my first s3 rom earlier this week.
Im really liking it.
Ive been looking at a couple others, but im happy with what I have right now. (r60 build)
Another vote for Synergy, here.

synergy is where it's at so far. until one of these JB builds are more stable.

I'm running Beans build 10 with lean kernel .5. I'd say it's pretty stable.
Running Synergy R64 from last night - holy awesome! My only issue is finding the right combo to get Google Wallet to work fully again. Have the prepaid card set up no problem, adding others - just sits and waits. When I flashed r60 I had to do a few tries (12) to find the right zip and build.prop settings to make everyone happy
another for synergy. just flashed earlier this week and currently on r64. for me it seems just as stable as stock with a bettery battery life and smoothness to spare.
I'm running CM10 and love it! Jelly Bean is awesome!

LOL exactly.
I flashed the root66 ROM ten minutes after the phone came out of the box (synergy was not out yet) & have never had any reason to flash any further (I have tried all the other ROMs except for CleanROM, but after testing I ALWAYS end up restoring a nandroid of the setup in my sig)
I debloated the setup totally. It is fast as hell, every single app etc. work perfectly, battery life is awesome etc.
running cleanrom. last time i checked synergy thread some had 4g issue.
I like it but has zero benefit from what i see to be rooted. gs3 in stock form is already fantastic.
i'd root to do nandroid backup but that's about it

Again, back to my previous argument. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
How about blocking ads and getting rid of the WiFi popups. That's reason enough to root for me...

Synergy is like running a better stock phone, it's amazing. The S3 is already so fast I've seen not much difference between it and a Jelly Bean system even stock.
What about stock rooted and the root checker verizon installed.... How do you block that on stock rooted?

You gotta be careful reading to much into the Synergy thread. I've dirty flashed every build from r23 with zero issues. I noticed a big performance increase with r23 but I got another big performance increase with r64! This phone is unbelievable right now and Ziggy is still working on more kernel magic.
I have not tried any other ROM since Synergy is performing so well.
P.S. I underclock my phone to 1350 with the XDA SetCPU.

Vote clean rom. Fast, smooth, good battery with clean kernel
Clean Rom + clean kernel was great for me.
i wanted to check Jelly Bean and I must say it's really good. Seems stable to me, I don't know if I could go back, JB is nice.
I love my TF101 and I have always had the cutting edge ROMs on it and just accepted any bugs that it may have knowing I can flash a different one later.
Due to my dad going out of town for work and me not needing my TF, I said he could take it to use to browse the web.. He doesnt need it for anything other then that. He has a GNex so knows the basics of how to run ICS/JB. but he is not about to go root anything..
I want to know what is the best and most rock solid ROM to put on my TF for him.. Like once I hand it off to him, everything should work 100%.. No SOD, RR, or any other issues like the dock not charging, etc.. I need to be able to hand it off to him with a Rock solid Daily Driver ROM that just works.. I dont need any crazy customization or anything fancy..
I personally had ran CM10 and AOKP on it and loved both of them, but they both had bugs that wouldnt fly for him..
Would I be better off going back to stock? Is AOSP rock solid? any other ROMs out there that have 0 issues that a nontechie could use?
I recommended you to flash back its stock firmware. As you see, your dad using a stock rom on Gnex. It will lot more easy for your dad to use a stock firmware.

Makes sense.. Just crushes me to take it from JB back to ICS, even though he wont know a difference, it makes a difference to me.. I was hoping someone had a rocksolid rom to avoid me flashing back to stock, but I will probably end up doing just that.
Go rooted stock ICS with G, s 22.6 kernel. Little OC'd to 1200.
I put both the oldies on it and no drama.. Been 5 months..
I just did a trip back home as OS
And checked it.. All good..

Usage isn't the problem..It's bugs in a Rom that he can't deal with. I will flash back to stock and rock a different kernal. Thanks for the help guys.

I recommend Revolver 4 Rom by Gnufabio, it's rock solid and with Guevor kernel v23 it really flies
Jelly Bean: Team EOS Jelly Bean #74 (With K.A.T kernel)
Has all the good stuff like trackpad cursor, launcher buttons work(and notify when they have been used), very smooth
ICS: Revolution or Revolver
Just as solid as the stock firmware, just faster.
CyanogenMod 9 Stable is what I use and found it to be stable as the developer says I understand the desire to test out the latest and greatest but not to actually use it as your main operating system since it's still in the testing phase and has bugs such as crashes, locks ups, random shutdowns/reboots etc personally I would prefer to just temporarily test out the latest and greatest then go back to what's stable.
Running a recent PACman ROM nightly (22.0.1) but the battery life is pretty bad. Absolutely love everything else so I was hoping a different kernel might help out a bit in the battery department. Tried flashing the latest Lean Kernel but when I tried to boot I got a pink "SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII" screen and it just hung there. I've got a backup so no worries on that front. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
What is the file name of the Leankernel zip that you flashed? Sounds like you flashed the TW version.

I think that's it:
lk_s3vzw_tw_jb-v2.2.zip
Tried flashing Zeus kernel too but I had the same issue minus the pink. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious. I'm new to all this stuff. What does the tw designation mean, exactly?
Figured out the TW thing. I'm guessing if they aren't in the dev forms then there are no AOSP versions available then? Hope they pop up soon.
TW = Touchwiz, which is the software that Samsung had on the phone before you flashed this custom rom. You're looking for the AOSP version of Leankernel, well any kernel you intend to flash, for PacMan. Go to the Verizon GSIII section of Rootzwiki and click on the AOSP Leankernel thread. Download any of the 5.0 versions of AOSP Leankernel.
Oh, and Imoseyon is not making an xda thread. So that isn't happening lol

Awesome just got the latest LeanKernel build. already flashed Ktoonsez so i'll see how that works out for a few days then switch over and give Lean a try. Thanks for the info.
Giving my wife the White Galaxy S3 Verizon for Xmas and wanted to get recommendation which stock based ROM to install?
1. Hyperdrive
2. Jelly "Beans"
3. Axis
4. stock Verizon 4.1.2
5. other 4.1.2 based
I'm primarily interested in rock solid stability, and some of the Touchwiz experience. She might be getting the Note 3 in the future so I want her to get used to using some of Samsung apps. I have a second S3 for me and I'm testing 4.4 roms, currently installed CyanFox. So please keep discussion relevant to 4.1.2 roms and experience. I know 4.3 is out for Verizon, but I'll wait for Devs to build it into ROMs.
thanks and see visist my blog

Lol! Can't go wrong with those.
Light and clean (more optimized, less theming):
Tkrom, bonestock, cleanrom, obsessed
More heavily modified (extra mods and themes,):
Hyperdrive, goodness, axis, jellybeans, moar, wicked sensations, the people's rom
I'm maybe leaving a few out, but look them over and see what you want. If you want something simple and easy you can't go wrong with the top 4.
Some phones handle roms better than others, so if one isn't working out well then don't be afraid to try another.
I also want to point out that you have to make sure your wife's phone isn't on the 4.3 base (vrucml1). If it is, do not flash any custom roms, that bootloader is completely locked down.

I've tried every single 4.1.2 TW rom out there, and my phone seems to run the best (least "Touchwiz" lag) on Hyperdrive with faux kernel. Completely stable, too. I also like the multitude of changes you can apply. However, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all are great!
Like the above comment mentioned, make sure the OTA wasn't taken, although you probably know this.
They are all great, try them all.
