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.

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

Zero benefit?
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.

Re :
I'm a happy user of CM10 !
At the first glance, I was skeptical about losing stock recovery to CWM since I have always been depending on sammobile releases stock ROM to update my device be it from my own country or others. (with this being said, I already did some research on how to get back to stock ROM )
But, I must say CM10 is the best ROM I have ever used so far :good:

But sir.. as i have read from the CM 10 thread.. there a problems that comes with it.. i wont specify it all but can you enumerate some problems that you encountered so far.. thanks!

I have used both CM10 and Paranoid Android 2.50 but both we're not as fast as Stock ICS ROM.
CM10 made a lot of things laggy including applications and games that were pretty much seamless on stock.
Paranoid was faster than CM10 in terms of navigation and usage as a normal phone/tab, but when it comes to intensive use, both CM10 and PA2.50 suffers.
So I suggest you use the Stock ICS ROM with some tweaks. PIMP MY ROM for example is a good choice. Seeder is a nice addition and Greenify will take you all the way to the top.

Well, apart from the smoothness is slightly slower than the stock ICS when playing games as per what's the above reply, i havn't encounter any major problems.
A few things that i can highlight so far are :
1. Wifi is more stable than stock ICS. I can stay connected from 6pm all the way to 8am the next morning. Back then using ICS, sometimes the wifi will just lost and I have to reconnect to the router in my house.
2. Despite the stable wifi, the battery consumption using wifi is worst than using stock ICS.
3. Data connection is a little unstable when it comes to changing HSDPA mode to EDGE mode. Sometimes have to restart the device.
Anyhow, apart from the above issues I am happy with this ROM currently. I'm just bored using stock ICS anyway. Haha.

Ok so since ive fixed my s 4g from soft brickdom i rooted it and its installed with a cwm-based voodoo lagfix recovery v5.0.2.7, now im looking to install a custom rom but im not sure what one to use, id prefer an ics based rom since in order to go online i need wifi on this phone and the jb roms seem to have wifi issues, so i would like to have working wifi and better battery life, which rom would be best.

Ultragen FTW

Ultragen has everything you need. Smooth, fast, and easy on the battery. It's ICS based with some of JB-esque looks.

Misconception about jellybean
4.1.2 is jb and wifi works
But
4.2.2 is also jb and on those jb needs a script to function....so far

Is that so? Well then would a jb rom be better? Im looking for something to increase the functionality a bit, i like playing games and whatnot on it, but i seem to get a serious slap of lag on some of the games now and again, like i said though im running on just rooted, i used titanium backup to remove a bunch of the bloatware, so im not sure if i have to flash in another rom then upgrade to a jb rom or whatnot, the last phone i did anything this deep with was a g1, lol so with these newer phones im kinda a noob

I really liked cyanogenmod 9.1. It was smooth, nearly bug-less (most of the bugs don't really effect the daily users). The lag on games was gone unless you're playing a really demanding 3D game.

This is what I'm currently using:
AOKP ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733097
An ICS ROM where most stuff seems to be working (even auto brightness!). The AOKP features add some neat stuff like a "Slide" lockscreen followed by a PIN lockscreen (the way iOS does it).

Best stock based rom for battery life?

What the best stock android based rom. I'm currently using the latest stable cm10.1 but it gets terrible battery life.

Threads like this get closed as there isn't any rom that is best at anything. Even if we give you a rom suggestion you still have to do your part as battery life depends on how much you use your phone, ,what is running in the background and any other factors that might drain your battery.

Don't forget that beyond the ROM, battery life is dramatically affected by your settings, background apps that affect sleep state, and especially your Kernel selection and kernel settings.

OP, yes threads like this get closed due to the bashing/flaming....
The Best Stock base ROM, is just that....Stock. And there is nothing wrong with running Stock, with so many different apps that Users run/have, what is best battery life for you, may not be best for others...and as we know just because we have the same device/model does not mean we will have the same results.
Thanks....

LoL i would like to know to. one method i use is i flash xxkpe, root and wipe data etc... install rom...wipe data, cache and dalvik and reboot but it only seems to work with cm10 A9 builds :/ Current rom slimbean 10.2 A2. epic but hate the batter drain. i wonder if using the media sync,battery database from stock GB rom and merging it with JB builds is possible. then again im a newbie and i dont know **** lol

what i mean is:
Use XXKPQ stock firmware as base (then root)
Calibrate battery apps from playstore (dunno if that works)
install custom rom EHNDROIX which is excellent on battery life but has a few flaws
all in all i dont think custom roms + good battery life go or else samsung wouldve updated our phones with ics/JB but our phones are too poor to handle the newer software so if u want good battery life then stick to stock firmware or gingerbread-based custom roms

10.2 A2 10 hrs. Still good. Sometimes it survives only 6 hrs. I fall down to 10.1 A9 Liquid smooth only for the battery. Tonight gonna test the A3. Let's see what is waiting with A3. Hope the best.

10hour sucks since it dies so quick when im out, how long does the battery last on liquid smooth rom?

Normal use over 20hrs with 10.1 A9 Liquid smooth. 10.2 till not giving good battery life. Only half a day life. Never mind, god dhiru will fix it just in time.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app

Very long battery life with CM10 Alpha 4 with Alpha 11 kernel v4 about 12-16 hours, but CM10.1 Alpha 9 only 6-8 hours. (Not sleep, Wi-Fi, gaming, 3G, calling)

hey guys i think Losco rom is the best till now also Losco is working hard to keep this rom updated so big thanks to him

how long does it last?

I am also looking for a stable Android 4.1 or 4.2 ROM for my i9003, I don't want too-many features but the ROM should be light and should have all basic features like wifi / calling / keyboard working.
I have noticed that all 4.1 or 4.2 ROMs heat up the phone as our hardware is old and the basic hardware requirement for these ROM is higher.
If a lighter ROM can be prepared with basic functionality then the battery should also last.

10.2 A3 is good for battery. do a clean flash and let the system to stabilize...

you mean the battery life? well it last about 2 days with normal use (music, some videos, 2g...)

My battery could be old but the same battery works for 12hrs when using stock ROM.
Also response is slow, maybe if I can find out all unwanted services I could remove then to speed up the phone.

You won't have the same battery duration with a custom ROM. ICS and JB needs more resources and battery drain faster. If you need battery duration, try with a GB ROM.
