I am switching from a nexus to an S3. my wife has an s3 and I can't stand touchwiz. I know there are some roms built to be similar to the stock jb on my nexus, but is there any way to get the official ota stock/vanilla jelly bean on my s3? Basically I want to know if I can make my s3 like my nexus, without having to worry about using a possibly unstable launcher or rom? Thanks ahead of time.
stock ota jellybean is touchwiz on the s3. Samsung doesn't offer anything else.
If you want aosp (vanilla android without carrier BS) it's nexus or nothing.
The only way to get vanilla android on anything else is to build it yourself or hope someone else has.
If you want a vanilla android experience on your GS3 on the stock rom you could try a different launcher, such as Apex or Nova Launcher, as they are closer to the stock Jelly Bean launcher than the Touchwiz launcher. If you are comfortable with rooting you could install Cyanogenmod, which is AOSP Jelly Bean with a few useful tweaks. There is a stable version of Cyanogenmod 10, which is android 4.1.2 that you could try, or there are nightly builds of Cyanogenmod 10.1, which are based off of the newer android 4.2, but are not entirely stable.
There's a stock AOSP ROM in the Original Development section. Has some issues but Joelz is getting everything smoothed out.

Hi!
Iam new to android world using a samsung S i897.
I want to install JB and found the slim rom in this (awesom) forum.
The slim version of android is a part of it? What Im missing? There are features that where left out?
Iam confuse on which are oficial versions and how obtain them and which are mods or custom versions. Exist a ICS official rom for my phone? Is better upgrade to that version or the JB slim rom?
Thanks!!!
None of the Galaxy S series of phones are getting official ICS, let alone JB.
So anything for your phone that's ICS or Jellybean is unofficial.
And you should use Slim JB because its waaay better than stock GB and has no bloat, along with performance boosts. Heck, any custom ROM is better than official versions (aside from the usual bugs when they are in early development).

You may want to look at CyanogenMod 9.. or wait around for a CyanogenMod 10
Google it, I can't post links yet..
You can wait (stable) custom jelly bean version if that appear as it is the most recent android version.

The captivate has good jb ROMs such as hellybean or slim bean as you said. But these guys are right, there will never be any ICS or JB official updates for it because its an outdated phone much like the vibrant or original i9000. The closest you get to stock would be slim bean or slim ICS.

Serch normal JB Rom and flash that. Or ICS if you will not find normal stable JB.
Thanks!!
I will try that.
Many people, newcomers and even old time users go through each individual ROM thread to find out which one is best for them.
This will help them easily understand what other people think about the ROM, what the pros and cons are, how stable it is, etc.

Why: I like touchwiz jellybean and having Google wallet and flash, those roms give Me all of that which are the only things I need root for.
Jellywiz is actually the only rom I have ever tried, I am new to flashing roms but so far this rom has been stable and has given me everything I need, I have had no reason to switch to another one.

CleanROM 4.0 JB.
current: Jellywiz rls 12
previous: Beans 15
Device: Verizon Galaxy S3
Current ROM: AOKP M1
Previous ROM(s): ParanoidAndroid
Why? AOKP allows me to change the notification drawer background. aong with some other small extra customizations i like.
Device: Galaxy S3 Verizon
Current ROM: CM (CyanogenMod 10) M2
Stable?: Yes (some facebook crashes)
Previous ROM: CleanROM 2.5, 3.0, 3.1, Synergy r77
Why these ROMs?:
I've been on the search for a ROM that fits me, something that doesn't have too many customization options, but at the end that didn't seem to work out so well for me. CM10 M2 does have a little bit more customization options, but at the end, it feels amazing to use. I haven't ran into any kind of performance problems, just a couple of facebook crashes, but that might not be due to CM10, maybe just facebook problems?
All of these roms are amazing.
CleanROM is great if you're looking for something.. well.. clean? There's not too many add-ons or options to change, just a little de-bloat ROM with performance tweaks. Overall it's nice and clean.
Synergy had a lot of useful options and a lot of features, but because of my OCD personality, I just couldn't handle the ROM. When I think I messed up one thing on the ROM, i had to do a complete wipe... T____T but overall, awesome ROM.
Device: VZW Galaxy SIII
Current ROM: Liquid Smooth RC7 4.1.2 (AOSP)
Stable?: Yes
Previous ROM: Liquid Smooth RC5, Synergy ICS
Why these ROMs? Honestly i love AOSP and having that pure google feeling on my phone. Touchwiz is nice and synergy does one hell of a job with there roms but i can't get away from AOSP. Its faster, smoother, and i just prefer it. As far as choosing liquid, well its been by far the best AOSP rom i've run on my SIII, and i used them back on my OG Droid days so that helps as well. Anyways yeah thats it
Device: Sgs3
Current rom: eclipse
Stable: yes
Previous: synergy (all of them, except the current 84jb class), Jellybomb, cleanrom, jellywiz, paranoid android, aokp, slimbean.
Why: started on touchwiz and built from there. Tw on this device is far superior than previous devices, though recently the android 4.1.2 builds have been just amazing. I really cannot live without the theme chooser in aosp, so tw jb's will need some dark horse/jellybomb/etc to send me back.... Eclipse has been very hard to top for me, will be giving liquid a go though soon.

AOKP M1 seems to be way more stable than CM10 M2
Battery life decreases normally, but for CM10 M2, i'm not sure if I just had a bad download, but the battery life just drops.
+1 for AOKP

Been using AOKP M1 for a couple hours, since yesterday and all I can say is it's smooth and amazing.. it feels like butter (bad joke)
anyways, what I don't like about AOKP M1 though is there's a lot of settings that I have to mess with, but I like how Nova has the backup option so if I ever have to start from scratch, I can just restore from the backup.
Awesome ROM.

Galaxy-mod is definitely the best TW based ROM out there. Beyond smooth, and Pure Motive(ROM dev) is promising an average of 50+ hours of battery life for his upcoming RLS5!
Device : Verizon Galaxy s3
Current ROM: CLeanRom 3.1
Stable: Yes
Previous ROM: Liquid Smooth, CM10 official nightlies
Why these ROM's ??
I have been on the look out for a ROM that merges the functionality of Touchwiz but removes the bloat. I have tried a couple of ROMs based on the stock android experience but there were a couple of features like in phone - swipe to right to call, swipe to left to message missing (but present in touchwiz) that I absolutely loved. Just to clarify, I really did not find any problems with the other ROM's like CM10 or LiquidSmooth. It's just my preference for the Touchwiz features that made me use CleanROM.
Thank you everyone! This is even helping me. I've tried a lot of ROMs but it's great knowing everyones opinion.
Just an update, for future posts please tell how long you've been on the current rom. Thanks!
I was wondering what rom do people think is the most stable JB for our S3 and also what roms have NATIVE WIFI Tethering enabled? I'm trying to flash a rom with stock touchwiz
Beans 5 or synergy work good for me
Both have native WiFi tether? No app needed?

Cleanrom 5.0 is super stable, same goes for Synergy Rom. In my experience the TW roms seam to be more stable. I always use nova launcher so I can move the app drawer button back to where it is supposed to be, along with other customization's.
I'm thinking about using Beans 5, does anyone know if the AOSP text supports emoji in that rom?
I find CleanROM 5.0 to be very stable. You can have TW or use another launcher. I use Nova.

it is there but i don't know what it is.
Bean's roms are all really stable and run with little to no issues. His latest build is by far his best.

As the title says. Had it but haven't unlocked for a long time. Looking for 4.2 rom.
My Nexus 10 is better than your tablet. Hah.
Cyanogen mod 6.1 is what you're probably looking for, fastest and most stable rom on the market!

Also interested in this, had pacman but would loop crash system ui with some settings conflicting I guess. And then I couldn't find the "sweet spot". Tried liquid but had notification problems, some apps wouldn't appear in the status bar.
So for now back to CleanRom till I get time to test more.

I will have to try this, I am running Jellybeans 12 atm because I acutally like Touchwiz themed to look like AOSP, never really liked using the launchers like Nova etc (not sure why). I may try it out just to see what 4.2 has etc.
if it's the AOSP look you thrive for but ejjoy the TouchWiz ROM bean is perfect for that. however, if you decide you want to give another TW ROM a try, I personally run my own rom with my own theme, but I ported bean's theme to Team Synergy's ROM, and also CleanROM.
but for a 4.2.2 ROM my personal favorite is Liquid-RC1, Very stable for me good battery life, and has the most features from what I've ran.
If you would like to run a nice 4.1.2 AOSP ROM I highly suggest, either AOKP nov27 build. or ParanoidAndroid 2.5.6
Paranoid Android also has kick ass 4.2 ROM out, along with PAC ROM it's called, it combines the goodies from CM, Paranoid Android, and AOKP ROMS and put's it all into one. Great ROM, but since there's so many features, many are overlapping eachother, or simply are not enabled yet. BUT I still think it's a great ROM!

Hi guys just had a question that i hope some of you can help me with. I flashed PA 3.10 about 2 days ago and can't find my titanium backups. I have been unable to find them. My internal sd has had some crazy changes to the folders as well. Any Ideas?

I agree. Liquidsmoothe is a great 4.2.2 AOSP ROM. Has anyone attempted a 4.2TW ROM?
for tibu
got to preferences
backup location.
search whole device
use current folder
tibu will restart and you can batch restore
So could someone start making stock 4.2.2 like rom which doesnt have those fancy things and something. Just stock 4.2.2 like rom for samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 GT-5110 because we dont have it and i think it could be faster that CM and AOKP roms. I dont know will we get 4.2 stock rom from samsung in next 2 months but i would love it if we could have it already.
Funny, CM and AOKP are closer to stock android than a Samsung ROM...
Don't worry, there will be plenty of 4.2.2 Touchwiz (aka Samsung) ROMs once it is released by Samsung.
