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

Read up. Pick what you like and give it a try. Everyone his different taste.
BTW, I prefer SlimBean. I've been using it as my dd since Slim2.7.

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:

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?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
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.

Here is a list of my ROM reviews and some installs for the VZW SGS3, I'm not sure if this is the proper thread so if it isn't I apologize to XDA and will start elsewhere if needed. Please give them a like/dislike and subscribe! Thanks!
ATTENTION! When flashing ROMs you always have the risk of losing your IMEI. Go to this thread and use one of the methods to backup your IMEI/EFS in case you lose it. This happens more with AOSP ROMs but can happen with TW as well. I am not responsible for you bricking your phone or losing your IMEI.

Ive been debating which ROM to try and watching your videos is helping a lot. Been looking for something that allows the use of the touchwiz camera and ability to store pictures/videos to the external sd card, but also with an AOSP look and customization of the toggles like say, CM10. Add to that daily driver stability, and from your videos it looks like the Beans builds may be what im looking for.
Thanks!
Thanks for this, helped me a lot to decide which ROM I wanted to use. I chose beans.
wow these reviews are very appreciated man
i havent had time to go through all your vids yet, but have you ran across a rom where it has the 4.2 note 2 camera (with slow motion feature, photoshere)?
im looking for that perfect rom, but got a feeling it wont exist:
-note 2 camera
-aosp camera/song search shortcut on pattern lockscreen
-blacked/inverted everything theme

You could just grab a Rom and add that stuff like the note 2 camera, theme stuff inverted stuff, not sure about the aosp camera but if it's out there you can grab it.,I have both the note 2 camera and 4.2 camera, the note 2 slow motion is pretty kool, that's the best thing I like about android......choice.....

Check out the HyperDrive 4 and Beans latest build 10. I believe both have working Photosphere. I finally deleted the 4.2 camera zip from my ext sd card lol. DarthStalker 9 is a great ROM too. Have it Nandroided along with Hyperdrive 4 while I try out Beans 10.

Looks like it, I just watched your video on it! Thank you! Im getting ready to try this one out and I will be travelling soon after so Im looking for something thats completely stable, but with the features/options I pointed out in my earlier post. Beans 10 definitely looks to have it all so far, from what ive seen in your video.
Just to make sure on a couple things, are these features fully functioning with no bugs?
-Camera/video. I will be using this a lot. Able to save to external sd with the TW camera and 4.2 camera, or just TW?
-Email
-Messaging sms/mms
-Browser
-GPS
-Phone (probably the most important for me here.)
Thank you again for your help and putting your time into these videos! Any plans on doing other videos, like say IMEI backup?

Camera/video is working fine. 4.2 saves to Internal though. You can use Root Explorer to move the files to ext card if needed. Email, SMS, MMS, Browser and phone works for sure. Have not tried GPS yet but maps locks on right away.
Thanks for watching the videos!
Hey Real, How do you flash from your ex sdcard? I have a 64gb and put everything there but i dont see it in either the newest CWM or TWRP... I have to move the the internal card first.

Seems I read something about 64 GB cards not being recognized by recoveries. Has something to do with the way they are formatted. Look up the threads for each recovery and I bet there's a fix. I use a 32 GB so I've never had issues.

Didn't see Synergy's ROM in there... just flashed r326... running great so far!
I've tried a couple AOSP-based Marshmallow ROMs and none of them have the option to update Profile and Prl for Sprint. I know by definition AOSP shouldn't have this, since it's something propietary however is there a zip out there one can flash to bring this capability? I don't know if it's possible to take whatever allows this in the Factory Image and make it an add-on for all devs to possibly offer for their ROMs. But that would be .
Every aosp ROM I've used has it. Even the one marshmallow ROM I tried.

That's stock based. AOSP based is the custom roms people build. I tried the chroma beta marshmallow rom and I couldnt even get data on sprint so i'm assuming there was an apn issue as usual. I'm waiting on Twisted Team to release their marshmallow rom because their lollipop rom worked pretty damn good on sprint.
Yea AOSP-based is what I meant.
Thanks for recommending Twisted!
I'm waiting for their M release.

Update on a stock rom. The prl and profile stick. Only caveat is if you have trouble you have to flash back to stock to do it again. The only reason to have to do this is if your data stops working for some reason.

To be fair I think people add apks to most roms based on stock image and actually modify it very little, with the exception of cataclysm, which is heavily modded. AOSP based roms dont have Update Prl/Profile functionality by default because that comes with Sprint's proprietary software (just some additional apks) that needs to be added in.
