Whats a good ROM and setup for the Verizon galaxy s3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So I've flashed a couple ROMs and I'm having bad luck with them. I've tried everything possible to fix the issues and no luck. So I'm just curious to see what ROMs everyone else is using and what setup they have so I can try them out. Thanks!!

Clean rom 5.0

I'm currently running jelly beans build 5 by beanstown and loving it. I just flashed imo's lean kernel 1 so I will see how that goes but I give this ROM 2 thumbs up. What type problems are you having. Are you doing full wipes and are you on the latest radios. If it is the media drain for the battery you have to let it all settle in. I always do a full wipe flash the ROM then reboot. I then wait 5 to 10 min after it first loads before I even touch it. Then I set it all up. Hope this helps some

Been running Liquid Smooth for a day and love it. May I am glad I came back to Android from iSheep.

JB factory image would be ideal for stability I think but unfortunately availability is limited right now.

I was running beans5 too. i loved it as well. it is almost like the perfect marriage of aosp and TW.( you have the TW features with the aosp appearence) only my phone kept locking with sms. so i am running galaxymod now and it is great.

I've flashed beans town build 5 I've tryed aokp,cm10,jelly wiz, and all them either had static while making calls or WiFi not working right or when I use certain apps it will open the app then just close out of the apps...before I flash them I do a factory reset then wipe cache/delvik cache then flash ROM and after phone boots up I let it set for 10 to 15 mins...and then I'll go back into recovery and wipe cache/delvik cache then do a fix permission and nothing seems to work.

+1 for cleanrom if you wnat a stable hybrid.

If you want a flawless dd go for a cleanrom. I'm running the lite edition currently but the 5.0 is just as good.

Have you tried flashing the latest radio? Are you restoring apps+data with Titanium Backup or another app or just apps?
I'm using Synergy R125 with Leankernel TW JB 1.0 using the latest radio and rpm, and stability and battery life are both excellent.
When I flashed the latest release I did the first clean flash I've done in a while when flashing the same ROM (overdue for it), I only restored apps (no data) from TiBu with a few exceptions. Also, though it won't help the issues you've had, I moved everything from my SD card to my computer, formatted the card, cleaned out some stuff and then coppied everything back to the SD card.

CleanROM?
How you guys get good battery life on CleanROM 5? It's a battery drain for me and it isn't the media server issue...

Been on Beans Build 5 for a week and it has been great. Battery life good as well. Couple of issues with Google Play Music, but other than that, Love it!

Beans build 5 with imo's lK 1.0 and I just got 18 hours of battery with 4 hours screen time and I was at 32%. I can't ask for anything more than that. I am very happy with this set up.

My only hangup is that it's waaay quick. The fast animations are just fine but sometimes I do what I'm not trying to do... Does that make sense to anyone?
I get the best battery and I like the green. Synergy is awesome with similar battery but the Aroma installer and what I can pick is the lock!

If you want a more stock experience, I strongly recommend EaglesBlood ICS 4.04 AOSP, build 5.5 with 5.6 kernel. These guys also fixed the data drop problem. It's the smoothest ICS ROM I've seen. Also, it uses the Aroma Installer, and supports both the OLD and NEW baseband.. it defaults to the OLD baseband when installing, so you shouldn't have any problems.
For this sweet setup, just do the following and you should be good to go:
1.) Install Build 5.5 zip through CWM Recovery - developer.clockworkmod.com/downloads/718/3127/egb-nightly-2012-07-01-signed.zip
2.) Install latest GApps zip RIGHT after that in CWM Recovery - goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3.) Install Kernel 5.6 zip right after that in CWM Recovery - dropbox.com/s/p8z8sdy7iwemegk/eb_p999_beta5.6.zip
4.) [Added Bonus] Install Default Browser Rotation/Flickering Fix right after THAT in CWM Recovery - charlie.d-h.st/k7J/00010/Browser-rotationfixed-tonyp.zip?key=1343730743 (by tonyp)
The above links work. Unfortunately, I can't supply the nice clickable outside links until I have more postings under my belt.
genesis is pretty awesome, too. Tons of options, aroma installer, both basebands supported, CM9 and AOKP fusion.
My advice is try them all out. Pretty much anything on here is better than stock. See what fits you and your phone the best

most reliable rom for sgs3?

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.

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?

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?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
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.

ROM suggestions?

Okay I'm new to the sg3 forums. I just switched to Verizon from Sprint and a epic 4G touch. I just couldn't take not having 4G where I live when Verizon has it here and my speed test was about 33mbps the other day on 4G ... Anyway I was running paranoid android on my epic so that's what I'm currently running on my sg3. What roms are most running and which do you guys prefer? Like I said I've only tried paranoid android and of course the stock Verizon until I rooted and unlocked the bootloader. What's a good rom to try out next?

Synergy for me.
I'm on ParanoidAndroid as well. Tried out Synergy and Redemption, both were good but I prefer the AOSP style, and I like phablet mode on PA. If I weren't really into phablet mode, AOKP would probably be my choice. But I'll second,

I second this ... very smooth, enhanced Twiz experience. The unstated bonus is that the ROM automatically takes care of IMEI backup, Busybox, Samsung root check and a host of Verizon spyware/sludge.
Plus, there are several tasty themes and kernels available to tweak your user experience.
I am currently running Synergy.r72, EyeCandy (theme), KT747 (kernel) and InfinitySound.v2. Can you say awesome?
Definitely a must try.

There's also some other small under the hood tweaks worth mentioning like Sony Bravia engine for crisp camera shots and 4G/WiFi speed tweaks as well. Synergy is what a stock ROM should be like, reliable and secure

This is only for AOSP. How did you get it to run?
For those inquiring about the InfinitySound tag in my sig. This is a reference to UltimateSound from here .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883262 .. v2 was an older build released for ICS.
Very few people were able to get it to work with Synergy/ICS ROMs, so the OP took down the link and limited his newer releases to JB only.
I am not comfortable mirroring an older build that soft bricked 90% of people who installed it.
He is working on GB and ICS compatible builds, so be patient.

Cm 10.1 issues

Recently flashed to the latest stable version of cm 10.1.3 rc2
The torch doesn't work and flash light apps from the play store store work but are very buggy.
Also noticed the Apollo music player force closes often especially when creating playlists and trying to add entire albums.
Also noticed that my signal isn't as good since I flashed? I end up wasting a lot of battery due to low or no signal. I always keep my data off throughout the day when I am not using it.
Anyone else having these issues?

Already did that. Tried the cm 4.3 build to see what features they upgraded and instead of restoring from my nandroid I just did a clean install of the 4.2 stable.
Also on the initial install it took two clean installs first one stalled so I re wiped everything and flashed again.

Just wiped everything after creating a backup and installed the cm nightly release from last night. Works well so far no issues. Even fixed the torch and Apollo issues.
4.3 has a better camera then the previous 4.2 I was using. I still do not like how the features are tho.
Still having crappy signal though. Maybe the stable version when it releases will fix my signal issue.

Phone Freezes At CM Splash Screen Updated

So after I flashed 10.2 I can only boot my Verizon s3 on the first initial boot. If I ever have to reboot the phone, it locks up at cyanogenmod flash screen. The only way I can get the phone to boot back up after this, is to do a battery pull and boot into twrp. Then do a full format, doing just a factory reset doesn't work. Once I complete a full format, I can restore one of my backup images and the phone will boot once, and that's it. Then I have to start the process all over again, any ideas?
Don't know if this helps but I'm currently running OSE 4.3.1, but have tried with dirty unicorn & liquid smooth.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well I managed to get this fixed not 100 percent sure on how, what I did was flash stock deodexed image in twrp, then started flashing from 10.1.3 and then to 10.2. I'm not sure which helped, but after this I was able to restore any of my previous roms and they boot just fine now.

Yep I guess so, still learning on all of this custom rom stuff. I tried everything prior to just flashing stock rooted rom, wasted a ton of time wish I would of thought of it sooner.
Below are some current rom's that i'm running all seem to be very stable with very little bugs.
Current Rom:[ROM][OFFICIAL][4.3] CM10.2 M1 for d2vzw so far this rom seems to be very stable have only had one random reboot since I flashed it yesterday.
Backup Up Rom's:
1. So far my all time favorite with very little issues:[ROM][4.3.1][Official][OSE Rom][d2vzw]
2. I really enjoy this rom only complaint is the cell service on it doesn't seem to be quite as stable:[ROM] [Team D.I.R.T] Dirty Unicorns 4.3.1 - d2vzw v3.9
3. Another very stable rom, only complaint is with the radio sometimes after a reboot radio doesn't work and you have to do a battery pull:[ROM][4.3][OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v2.10 - d2vzw - 10|6|13
