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.

[Q] Most rocksolid ROM for non techie use.

I love my TF101 and I have always had the cutting edge ROMs on it and just accepted any bugs that it may have knowing I can flash a different one later.
Due to my dad going out of town for work and me not needing my TF, I said he could take it to use to browse the web.. He doesnt need it for anything other then that. He has a GNex so knows the basics of how to run ICS/JB. but he is not about to go root anything..
I want to know what is the best and most rock solid ROM to put on my TF for him.. Like once I hand it off to him, everything should work 100%.. No SOD, RR, or any other issues like the dock not charging, etc.. I need to be able to hand it off to him with a Rock solid Daily Driver ROM that just works.. I dont need any crazy customization or anything fancy..
I personally had ran CM10 and AOKP on it and loved both of them, but they both had bugs that wouldnt fly for him..
Would I be better off going back to stock? Is AOSP rock solid? any other ROMs out there that have 0 issues that a nontechie could use?

I recommended you to flash back its stock firmware. As you see, your dad using a stock rom on Gnex. It will lot more easy for your dad to use a stock firmware.

Makes sense.. Just crushes me to take it from JB back to ICS, even though he wont know a difference, it makes a difference to me.. I was hoping someone had a rocksolid rom to avoid me flashing back to stock, but I will probably end up doing just that.

Go rooted stock ICS with G, s 22.6 kernel. Little OC'd to 1200.
I put both the oldies on it and no drama.. Been 5 months..
I just did a trip back home as OS
And checked it.. All good..

Usage isn't the problem..It's bugs in a Rom that he can't deal with. I will flash back to stock and rock a different kernal. Thanks for the help guys.

I recommend Revolver 4 Rom by Gnufabio, it's rock solid and with Guevor kernel v23 it really flies

Jelly Bean: Team EOS Jelly Bean #74 (With K.A.T kernel)
Has all the good stuff like trackpad cursor, launcher buttons work(and notify when they have been used), very smooth
ICS: Revolution or Revolver
Just as solid as the stock firmware, just faster.

CyanogenMod 9 Stable is what I use and found it to be stable as the developer says I understand the desire to test out the latest and greatest but not to actually use it as your main operating system since it's still in the testing phase and has bugs such as crashes, locks ups, random shutdowns/reboots etc personally I would prefer to just temporarily test out the latest and greatest then go back to what's stable.

Just got my Note 10.1, looking for recommendations.

Just got my Note 10.1, and loving it. Came from an Asus tf700 and this thing is so much faster and smoother. Does anyone care to share there recommendation for a great rom and why they like it. This thing runs great on stock but looking for a rom that is compatible with themes. Took a look at a few but can't decide.
Thanks for any input

For complete trouble free operation, keep what the creators put on it. Or just read the threads on your choice rom and if the problem dont bother you or you like problems, have fun and flash away.

I came from the Transformer Prime and am loving my Note. After rooting, I looked around at the other ROMS. I happen to be one of the folks who likes Touchwiz and the custom software that Samsung installed (s-notes, multiwindow, etc., so I decided to just leave the stock ROM installed.

Welcome to the Family
Actually you can just try to flash those custom ROMs out there.
Each of them has their own advantages / disadvantages, just try it if it's suitable for your need.
As for me I use ARHD (thanx to Mike, the creator).
It has stock look & feel, but still customizable without losing any of samsung features.

I'm sure that ARHD as well as Omega ROM come from developers that know their stuff very well as for me I'm using Omega with a grey theme. But I'm desperately waiting for the JKay framework to be announced for the Note 10.1

I just left mine stock and rooted it..... Tried the cooked roms but couldn't get rid of the custom tag in bootloader that stopped me from using the allshare hub....
Rooted, ran triangle away, re-installed latest stock firmware with Mobile ODIN and did total wipe when installing. ALL custom counters set back to Official and 0 flash count while still rooted...

Thanks for the input, so far have tried 2 roms out, redemtion and Arhd. Both run really well. Made a nandroid of stock rooted. Thanks again.

I wanted stock android with some of the features that touchwiz offer. Very well put together ROM.

thanks for all answer ,im using stock rom right now :laugh: please give thanks to my post please :victory:

Jellybam
If you have one of it's many supported devices, I highly reccomend Jellybam. Jellybam has many features from many ROMs, and is not disimiliar to PAC-Rom, but I find many more options to customize, like custom notification background, and even custom halo color etc.
Overall, for my P3110, the ROM is quite fast, even without over clock, and the Deva update it quite frequently, plus these updates are stable and most of the time quite major and useful

Just recently picked up the Carbon rom and loving it! I use them for the customization and the fact that they boost performance and battery life

The phone I own is a first gen LG Optimus V. The ROM I use now is MiRaGe CM7.2 ROM. The reasons I rooted and flashed was to get better performance, over clocking, USB Tethering, removel of all bloat ware and useless apps, and to be able to make Nandroid backups of my installed ROM, apps, and settings. Before I did all this, I ran stock Froyo 2.2.1 and was plagued with all sorts of problems the LG Optimus phones were known for. And I was 100% o.k. with voiding my warranty too.:good::laugh:

my device is alcatel currently using experia by shinjarey, long battery life and smooth.

My old HTC Desire used Cyanogen Mod, my current HTC One X and S3 are using Stock Roms still.
My tablet at the moment using Ubuntu Touch, might go for another rom as the Ubuntu Touch is missing some key features I want in the tablet right now as it is a Dev release. Will hopefully go back to Ubuntu Touch in a later release when those features are there.

As topic says
I am a Tab2 user but i got this yesterday and i really need the JB 4.3 .
I just hate Samsung stock bloat rom. Is there any custom alternative to my Note GT-N8010?
Also is there any way to root this device?
I think i found a guide but i ask the professionals here instead of guessing
Thanks guys/Girls!

There are plenty of roms and ways to be rooted, you should check the whole android dev. Forum before oppening a new topic asking for something that is already there...

Well is i said im not sure what i can use or not. I do not want to damage my tablet and therefor i ask the guys who knows what rom i can use with my GT-N8010 32GB
Most of the roms i have been looking at doesn't say if it is for my device or the other 8xxx devices. I have root but i want a new fast rom (4.3-4.4) with working s-pen and IR
i ask because i do not want to make a mistake :/ Also looking for a good Kernel!
I am looking for
*Rom thats fast with no bloat (4.3/4.4) working with GT-N8010 32GB
*A nice Kernel with over clock possibility working with GT-N8010 32GB

Well, I have a n8010 too, and we dont have a 4.4 rom yet, I tried Omnirom but wasnt able to install it. 4.3.1 rom is the CyanogenMod 10.2 , you can check official CM page and look for the n8013 model it should work just fine and it comes preloaded with a good kernel, but the rom is so fast fhat you wont need any OC, after thst you got Android Revolution HD and Hyperdrive, I am currently on hyperdrive (4.2.1) and sweet lord is FAST it comes with bloat only if Uwant it and all the spen funcionalities, Oh yeah..also CM10.2 doesnt come with all the spen funcionalities but the pressure sensitivity is the same.. (but you dont have snote and the realtime cropping option etc, those come with touchwiz.... My re omendation?.. Hyperdrive. Next one would be CM10.2 both are really awesome (for me) but one is AOSP and the other is touchwiz

Thank you very much! Will take a look at CM10.2 as i didnt get the Wifi working on Hyper.....

Concerning hyperdrive i had the same problem some time ago. maybe try one of the solutions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296669
They did work back then, but i don't know if they still do.
For me (almost) all roms for the n8013 were/are working fine on the n8010.
If you have problems, try to flash latest version of Philz recovery(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202714) for 8013 !!! with odin.
for rooting methods 2 and 3 should do from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366.
an odin alternative http://www.xda-developers.com/android/meet-jodin3-a-web-tool-that-flashes-your-samsung-device/
4.3 rom -> maybe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151873
4.4 -> omni

I'm loving omnibus on my 8010. I had to install the 8013 recovery to get it working but official omnirom builds are imminent and should support the 8010 directly.
The rom is fast, sleek, no real issues I can see, excellent power usage. Loving it

go with [4.4.2] OmniROM instead...
Although I did try Hyperdrive, I wasn't too impressed & Pacman was better, as I have been on 4.1.2 since day one & finally made the switch. I skipped over 4.2/4.3 & decided to go with the [[UNOFFICIAL Kit-Kat]] omniROM 4.4.2 on mine for the meantime. I am very much impressed, only issue I have found so far, is the 'Swype' feature isn't working, but other than that, its stellar thus far. I would highly recommend this rom for your tablet, until something 'new comes along... Maybe a Jedi X-Master ROM for our Note10.1's!!!

OmniROM 4.4 Does work for Galaxy Note 801x
One catch about OmniROM, it doesn't have a root built-in, so don't forget to root your device after you install the new ROM.
So to install, make sure you have CWM 6.0.4.4 (aka Philz Touch) or TWRP 2.6.3.1 as your recovery, and then go from there. The newest Roms are located on the OmniROM website now, and N801x is included. Get the gapps for Android 4.4, install after you install the ROM. Install the root after all that.
It's easy to install, and easy to use. I have been using Omni for about a month now, and it runs great. I just wish Samsung would've had enough sense to update all their models with this version of Android.

First install a custom recovery, the one I have found to work best is Philz Touch. You can do a search and find the link for it here in XDA. It's good because as I have noted before, OmniROM does not come rooted. Philz Touch has to be the easiest recovery I have ever used to install root, and you may want to do it several times because there are nightlies for the ROM.
As for the ROM, go to dl.omnirom.org and go to the folder for 'n801x'
Once you get the zip file downloaded, copy it to your SD card, install the recovery, and then install the ROM
Oh, don't forget, make sure you also get gapps for Android 4.4 on your SD card before doing this. Pointless to have a ROM with no gapps install.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Good luck
