I haven't rooted my phone yet, but i've been following the cm10 forums and it seems its still pretty buggy right now. I haven't seen much about the tw roms like synergy or beans. Which would you guys prefer and recommend for the most stable and best performance tw rom.

also interested. i havent flashed roms in a while but i like soem of the touchwiz features.
CM10 wont have motion control support, right?
No, CM10 does not have Motion Control support right now, though the Alpha build for CM10 works well, I wasn't pleased with the battery life. So, I'm about to ty CleanROM. Synergy wasn't for me, but it is a solid ROM. For 4.1 and Motion support, best bet is to wait for Samsung to release 4.1 for the GSIII, eventually somebody will root it, and that should include motion support.
I prefer Synergy, its always been great for me, and i get amazing battery life with it. I haven't tried beans so i can't comment on his, but it really boils down to personal preference. Some will say synergy and some will say beans.
Does synergy have any big bugs that someone would not flash because of it? And how is the data reception, i haven't been getting that good of reception even with stock.

The latest nightly appears to have everything worked out and data reception for me has been great.
Personally, I use SynergyROM (currently nightly R50).
I have yet to encounter any significant bugs. The Samsung Motion controls seem a bit off, but I'm not sure if that's how stock is or if it's just the ROM.
As for your questions about reception, SynergyROM has increased WiFi and Data transmit power. It supposedly means faster speeds, which I assume is achieved through a stronger connection?
Running Scott's CleanRom and it runs great. I see new version 2.0 is out now.
Cleanrom IS the only ROM I haven't tried as it wasn't out yet, but of all the others I kept returning to root66 as everything Single thing works perfectly, it is the fastest set-up I have ever used on ANY phone and battery life is as good as any other ROM (regardless of some of the ludicrous claims posters make for battery life)
Bean 8 with imosyeons LeanKernel 2.2 > Root66>Synergy 1.7...have not tried clean rom.
I've seen no bugs so far in the latest Synergy nightly (r50). Synergy has been my daily driver for a while now and is very stable with excellent support from the developer. Highly recommend.
CleanROM 2.0 just came out today and from the description sounds great. However, several of the bloatware apps appeared after installation (VZ Navigator, Color, etc) even though I de-selected them in the installer. I'm trying to get my post count to 10 so I can let the dev know in his own thread.
Seems people are saying different ones are the best. Still not sure so i'll probably look more into each one.
They didnt appear in mines
VERIZON GALAXY S 3 (CM10)
The NoSympathy ROM is pretty dang awesome. Pretty much just root, deodexed, and zip-aligned. I ran it with lean kernel and it was very happy with performance. I honestly think it is a great combination of performance and stock TW.

Is the "VRALF2 vs G1" referring to the kernel, the ROM, or the radio/modem. I get so confused with all the conflicting terminology on these forums.

All of the above, in each context. F2 and G1 are two different builds (official ones from Samsung), which each have their own kernel, system base, and radios. You wouldn't mix and match kernels with system bases, but radios are interchangeable. I recommend the latest G1 radio, for the record.
Most TW ROMs get built off the latest base (and get ported over to new bases when they are released), because they tend to add bug fixes. You should know which build your ROM is based off, because in some cases third-party kernels can be compatible with one base and not another. Read carefully.
Seems to be some good choices including both Touch Wiz, CM10 and Jellybean options.
What is everyone else running around here these days?
What ROMs worked well for you and which didn't?
Which ROMs are you seeing continued development on?

I'm running Liquid Smooth, its based off of CM10 (AOSP)
Liquid Smooth and Synergy have both worked flawlessly for me (i've got links in my signature to each of there respective threads)
Umm... I know liquid smooth has continued development, obviously CM10 and AOKP do as well. Incubus is hard at work with Jellywiz, and i know eschelon is always doing stuff with synergy. But i'm sure other developers are hard at work as well.
CleanRom all the way for me. It's been several weeks now, but I tried older versions of CM10 and Jellywiz and had problems with both. CleanRom has been fantastic though.
This liquid smooth is really nice.
Yeah I think clean Rom is an excellent tw Rom. I've used it a lot. Cna is a great cm10 Rom.
Eclipse...im suprised more folks are not running it!
Jellybomb is probably the most stable custom rom available for our device. Prior to this synergy was the King of customs. All jb rom's have issues.
Boom! Jellybomb biatch!
Eclipse was awesome! Great battery life and super stable.
I go between it and synergy r73. There's some touchwiz things I just can't shake.

not all aosp roms have issues.
Hotboot issues are still happening in synergy along with "ghost wifi" issues. Beans (from what I've read) has the same issues. Clean is what I consider to be stock, and not "custom", so I didn't count it. Eclipse has that network location issue in bold on the main op, big turn off for me. All tw jb's are based off of t-mobile which presents obvious issues for vzw users. Aosp network issues are hit or miss, seams to be user based, but ultimately seams as a whole to be not nearly perfect. Just basing my information on all the reports I've read. I've run slim bean, all synergy's, clean, kangs, cm10, and recently Jellybomb. Jellybomb has been a clear standout of all of them. Again, just my opinion, individual results will vary.
Boom! Jellybomb biatch!

Do some more research bud...location services is fixed on eclipse. I recomend flashing each rom like i have instead of basing your opinion solely on what u read....not trying to bust your balls as i agree with most of your posts on here.
And so it is...sorry for wrong info. In general when someone makes a post like this, research has probably been to a minimum so I was trying to generalize. My typical response would be to research more and don't ask such a super general question that cannot be answered!
But good to know, that rom does look tempting.....

I suggest giving it a go...as you know im a touchwiz fan, but eclipse is a sweet rom!
I've ran beans 13 and 14 and I liked them both a lot. Right now I'm on slim beans aosp Rom and its definitely great.I haven't had any issues with anything and I was able to sell Google wallet which was my main thing I was worried about.
Tap'n
All this positive talk about Eclipse I'll have to check it out.
Will have to wait awhile though as my wife said no more flashing for a few weeks cuz we are due any day for our 2nd child and she wants my phone working for when i get "the call"
good thing Liquid smooth is running real nice for me.
if I ever go back to Touch Wiz it sounds like I'll have to try out Jellybomb.
So I've spent over half a day looking at all the custom rom options and now my head hurts.
Wayyyyy too many options. I even tried one (lunareclipse) out which is working great but not quite what I'm looking for.
All I need is a SIMPLE, STABLE and CLEAN rom devoid of pretty much everything but the necessary functions.
No google stuff, no battery gizmos, no fancy themes... just a completely cleaned out, stable rom.
I almost went for CM7 but I couldn't confirm its viability with an Atrix 2.
Anyone who can point me in the right direction will be owed a thousand thanks and over 900000000000 internets. :good:
You wanna stick with ics and below ?
Try the jb ROMs like PA 3.15, CM10.1. They are wayy better than ICS. They have some bugs though. ( look at their respective threads for more info)
And if you're sticking with ICS, try numa or scv7.
And btw, more details about your phone would be better like the region, Android version etc ( As some of the ROMs aren't made for ATT phones)
NOTE : YOU HAVE TO BE ON ICS FIRST TO TRY ANY OF THE ICS OR JB ROMs

I prefer 2.3.6 simply because I don't have ics and I'm not sure I want to add one more step unless there are huge gains in performance and stability to be had.
And I'm in NZ so it's obviously a non AT&T phone. And I've checked for ota updates, but the phone doesn't show any so I'm not sure how to go about upgrading to ics even if I wanted to.

I didn't spend much of time with GB, so I don't remember how it used to be. 4.2 is much better than ICS in my experience.
You get cool features like quick settings, expandable notifications and stuff.
See if any of the files from this thread suits your device region. Don't flash any other files other than the right one.

Trust me, ICS+ is a huge leap. looks WAY nicer, and runs smoother. Stock ICS is pretty clean compared to stock GB, but CM10.1 is probably the simplest of the custom roms. It keeps the stock android look, and adds a few nice little features. Feels pretty much like stock JB though, and trust me, JB is completely worth it. Project butter took the last step for a solid OS that ICS nearly brought.
CM10.1 is quite stable as long as you are not plagued with the black screen bug, which you will know right away. Other than that, the stock battery stats don't work (use Gsam, its really clean and simple), but it runs great otherwise.
I am not a fan of PA and I doubt you would be, as it has a ton of settings and features that you may not need.
PACman combines CM PA and AOKP, so it is full of features, but can be pretty clean.
AOKP is not out for us yet, but when I have time I am trying to get it working, as it is my favorite. Basically it is CM10.1 with a few great features added.
EDIT: just remembered, CM7 was never released for our phone, as it was too hard to get working at the time, so that is not an option, though in the days of GB it was great.

Hey mate, on my NZ Telecom A2 I have observed the following:
Stock 2.3.6: great stability, a little laggy, good battery
NZ Telecom ICS: great stability, ok performance (better than 2.3.6), good battery
JB leak: great stability, good performance, good battery, no device encryption
cm 10.1: : medium stability (occacional camera and sound hiccups that require restarts), great performance, good battery
these are the roms I have tested so far. If I could live w/o encryption, I'd go for the JB leak.

PA actually has a lot less features and settings when compared to CM.. And it is a lot closer to "stock" AOSP jellybean than CM is.
PA's main and signature feature is the per-app size and color settings (and the PIE controls - until CM recently decided to merge those into their source code).
I am not getting defensive, but c'mon.. He won't be a fan of it because you are not a fan? Sounds like you never tried it yourself, so best let people form their own impressions.
Also, if you looked at the AOKP manifest, it is not basically CM10.1. It is AOKP - using a lot from Google's AOSP sources, and mostly just the hardware from CyanogenMod and a few other things.

Sorry, I understand, but I really feel that CM is generally more straight forward and solid, I tried out PA for a change the other day, and while I understand the concept, it is just not really my thing, and judging by the description in the OP he seems to like things pretty plain. Maybe code wise it is closer to stock, but I have always felt that CM felt very clean and professional compared to many other ROMs. Not that they are bad, I have just liked the feel of CM better.
I admit to having some bias in my writing, but I feel that I and the OP have very similar tastes in what we are looking for.
Not trying to smash it or anything, I respect your work, and that of the developers of the ROM itself, but I just think it would not be best based on the given description.
I understand that AOKP is more AOSP, but I was trying to simplify here. In general, I feel that in the versions I have used it is very similar to CM, with a few more features, though it may not be directly from CM source.
Sorry to have disagreed with you, and of course everyone is welcome to their own opinions, I was just trying to give mine.
Sorry.. I was a little grumpy this morning
It's all good.

EDIT: And, I agree, CM is the king of after-market firmware. And for good reason - it's good quality.. It helps that they have been around so long, and have enlisted an army of coders/programmers and average joe's contributing to the source by the minute.. But, yea, basically all of the other major custom ROMs use a lot of CM code.. Heck, I'm sure even Google merges CM changes back into AOSP at times.

LOL, so true, whether they take direct code or not, thy have taken features multiple times!
I've been jumping back and forth between ParanoidAndroid and CarbonROM, and I'm actually about to give Cyanogenmod a try for the first time.
Carbon has a ton of great customization but I have gotten a few crazy screen flicker issues and reboots on the nightlies. Notta's version of PA is damn near perfect but I have an issue when streaming audio via bluetooth. I get a nasty static sound with high notes, if this could be fixed my decision would be made, and hopefully Ayysir will be fixing this in his builds.
Anyway, which ROM have you guys had the best luck with?

Your thread will likely be closed as someone already have this kind of thread. It is pretty active it is the "which ROM are you running" thread.
Depends
If you prefer Touchwiz - NOTHING beats CleanRom. The latest (seven), is the best, smoothest, most consistent rom I've ever run.
If you prefer AOSP - I'm gonna have to go with SlimRom. Really fantastic, smooth, and widely configurable.

I'm gonna have to respectively disagree. While clean ROM is a fantastic ROM, bonestock ROM is just as stable and offers sooo many options. Plus is extremely stable. I suggest the OP give both a look. Since the op is use to aosp, bonestock offers more customization like aosp but with TW. MOAR ROM is a great rom too.

There is a saying "to each his own" that applies to roms as not everyone has the same experience or taste in a rom. All the op is asking is what rom that you have the most luck with. He is not asking for suggestions.

Hello all,
It looks like a Verizon Galaxy S3 is in my future. I am currently on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, running MMuzzy 4.2.2. I am really enjoying the stock experience. I have looked at a few through the forums here, but most I find are themed etc. Does anyone have any ROM recommendations that are as close to stock as possible? Any advice would be welcomed.

This belongs in Q&A. Anyways, I'd recommend bonestock, clean rom, or synergy. All are good choices.
EDIT: Sorry, you mentioned you were enjoying stock so those are stock-like recommendations.. My bad. Personally, my two AOSP favorites are Eclipse rom (very stable, blacked out, good on battery) and Carbon (smooth, feature rich, very customizable, very few if any bugs).

the thread is called AOSP recommendations . all of the roms you mentioned are touchwiz.
i currently run carbon rom. there are nightlies. it is for the most part, flawless. I guess it kind of depends on what features you use ..(halo,pie, etc) there are quite a few aosp roms to choose from, im sure thats why you are asking. in my experience, carbon and slim bean seem to have the best battery life, with the most features to offer. let us know what you decide and how it works for you . !
edit: after checking out the rom you are running, i kind of understand what you mean. Pure AOSP without a CM base. i searched for the same kind of thing when i first got this phone. unfortunately, it seems that all AOSP roms we have are built on cm. i would love to see a rom like mmuzzy for this phone. seems really cool.
Since you say you're looking at AOSP, I'd advise you try LiquidSmooth.
CleanROM and others are great TW stock ROMs, but not AOSP.
