Current: jellywiz rls 11
Previous: jellywiz rls 8 hybrid
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.

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.

current: Galaxy-Mod RLS4
previous: Cleanrom 3.0
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!

[JB][MOD]Android 4.2 Transformation Pack

Good Day,
Many of you already estatically await the come of Android 4.2 to the Galaxy Nexus. While some may be lol'ing about the attempts to port 4.2 to the Gnex, you all will like this. I present you the Android 4.2 Transformation Pack.

Supported devices:
Google Galaxy Nexus
Google Nexus
ASUS Nexus 7
Nexus One
As said, pretty much every device is compatible. Please post your device and if this works. It should work everywhere.

It should add apps. It should install a keyboard you need to enable. Your default launcher may be overlaying the Launcher2.

Running AOKP Jelly Bean Build 5 on my Verizon GS3, and it didn't seem to add anything. Flashed the zip in recovery, didn't do anything else. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for this, though! Pretty awesome. I hope I can figure out what's going on.

look at you system storage .. is it full ?
because i have the same problem because my system storage are full .. i deleted some of unnecessary app ..
now it works like a charm .. but photosphere seems still doesnt work on P990 CM10 as panorama on default camera are not yet working ..

Gmail, Photosphere, Clock and the keyboard are working great on my Google Nexus One.

Keyboard not working
Hello
Im flashed the file and did a reboot.
New gmail for example is working but the keyboard isn't. You guys got an idea? Im reading in other threats about replacing or deleting files in system/app but I don't know this will do the trick.
I have a Galaxy Nexus with AOKP Milestone 1 ROM

I apologize if this seems like a silly question, but after having googled for some time and not finding any kind of clear answer.
1)Will this work on any 4.1.2 Rom?
2)Will this work on the Nexus S?

Nothing happened bro
Flashed but no change

[Q] What ROMs can I choose from?

Hi, just bought a GS3 Verizon. I want it rooted, and working without well known bugs.(GPS, calling, almost no bugs) I prefer 4.1 jelly bean. What ROM should I choose? The ROM based on the leaked VZW ROM?

Stock deodexed j1 touchwiz...if you look around you can manually add what mods you want. I prefer this over flashing the custom touchwiz rom variants....seems less buggy and smoother imo.

I've been having good luck with Synegy's latest. Smooth, good performance, good battery, and just enough added functionality over stock to make it work well.

I liked clean rom, jellywiz, and my current rom tasteofbeans 3.1. They all were :good:

What about using separate mods makes it less buggy?

Because you flash them 1 at a time and if you flash one and it made everything bug out you can just nandroid back. If your on a ROM with a crap load of tweaks and mods and something goes wrong you're just screwed until the dev can figure out which mod he added is causing the problems. A lot of the time the mod bugs are left alone until all the big bugs are worked out and then they track down what's causing the smaller bugs

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:

Best Android 4.2 based STABLE rom?

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!

Sent from my unlocked VZW Galaxy S3

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!
