Really depends on what your looking to do with your phone... AOKP, Cyanogen, Paranoid android... Then your going to want a kernel to back it up. I personally use Franco nightlies but thats just what I like, you'll have to experiment with dozens of them to find whats best. Obviously if you don't already have CWM or TWRP installed you'll want to do that and make your life so much easier. I haven't checked to see if Paranoid android has released an s3 specific Rom but im using version 3+ on my galaxy nexus with franco kernel r364 right now and its fantastic. Do a quick search for it on here, Loads of customization.

Hello, I just rooted my Galaxy S3 for Verizon for the first time yesterday, therefore I am fairly new to this. After I flashed CM10 using TWRP, my Google apps are gone. I've tried flashing gapps on TWRP but it gives me a message saying "unfortunately, Google Play has stopped working." I know that this is due to the licensing issues and all, so my question is, what ROMS can I flash that has GApps available in it?
Thanks in advance!

To answer your question, any TW based roms will have Gapps with it. So practically any rom in the Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development forum would have it. To your issue, are you sure you flashed the right Gapps version? Just as reference you can get any version from here http://goo.im/gapps I assumed you flashed 10.1 version of CM since they are the latest which you should be using the 20130301 version of Gapps following the table that is on that website.
This might be a stupid question, but where can I find this forum? And yes, I did flash that version of Gapps... And correction; I have the 10.0.0-d2vzw version of CM. Am I supposed to get another version of Gapps? I really like this ROM and I want to try it out for a few weeks until I switch to a new one.

Forum section for us is http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708 Go there and click on Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development forum. If you look at the website link I gave you, they have a table. On the left, it shows the CM versions and on the right shows the corresponding Gapps version you are suppose to use with that CM version. Since you are using 10.0.0, if you look on the left you will see 10.0.x and on the right, you will see the corresponding gapps version 20121011. You use that version for CM 10. Btw if you find CM 10 interesting go to the Verizon Galaxy S III Original Android Development forum. They have roms based on CM, AOSP, AOKP, etc. Be sure to read up more on flashing since you are pretty new to this. Bricking phones isn't fun lol
What ROMS do you personally recommend? And I know! I almost bricked it yesterday, and trust me, it was not fun at all.

Depends on your preference. If you are into the Stock TouchWiz look but without the bloat that verizon puts, I recommend CleanRom. I also recommend it to people who are new to flashing since it is a pretty simple rom. This rom is pretty much as close as you can get to getting stock reliability. If you want to go into a more customize it yourself TouchWiz roms, I would suggest SynergyROM, Jelly 'Beans' Rom, Hyperdrive, or Axis. Besides each having their own tweaks and sometimes themes, during install, you get to choose which apps/settings/kernel/theme, you want to have, so pretty much you get to customize almost all aspects of the rom to your liking. They all also get updated on a somewhat regular basis. You will have to flash all of them and play with them to see which one is to your liking.
For CM 10.1 based roms, CM 10.1 Nightlies, Slimbean, Carbon Rom. I would be careful with these roms, as they are a bit temperamental with some phones. Most of the time you are fine and you won't get into an issue but the times that you do, you will have to read through the threads to see if there is a solution to it.
There are also the PARANOIDANDROID and ParanoidKANGdroid roms, I haven't personally tried them but heard good things, they are also based on CM 10.1
I really appreciate your help, bro. For now, I'll stick to the CM 10.1 ROM that I just flashed. It's good so far, and I finally got t solve my issue of gapps thanks to you.
Great example of helping someone! Posts like this are the reason why I became a member of this site and fell in love with it (actually my wife calls it addiction)! I wish there were more people helping others like this, it would only make this forum better.
I did a quick search for this, but would anyone happen to know if someone is working / building port of the Vanir rom? I have it on my nexus devices and it is fast as hell...
Thanks!
No as the phone it is for has lower specs then the s3. As of now the following ROMs can be ported to the phone are s3 ROMs from other carriers and Note 2 ROMs. MIUI can also be ported to the phone. So far only one note 2 ROM has been ported to this device
If your looking for fast, try out the Hyperdrive ROM.

Wait, I'm confused. Vanir is an AOSP based Rom, so there shouldn't be that much other than adding in the stuff specific to the S3, right? The Vanir Rom (or at least what I know of it) is on the N7, N4 and the GNexus...
I guess I'm a bit confused.
Put it this way no one is planning to port it to the s3 if they were it would've been here by now.
Hm...I guess in that case: Do any of you guys know of any good guides for porting AOSP roms over? I tried following one way back when when I had a rezound and CM10 first came out but never got too deep in it. Figure it is worth a shot, I've got a Ubuntu VM waiting to go...
Before you do that you must seek the permission from the developers.
To port something over from github / source?
Now I'm officially confused.
I'm on Slimbean (thanks, erikmm!), but I'd like to move to the official CM10.1 if possible. I've looked at the CM downloads page and there are two versions that I think will work, but I don't know for certain.
Samsung Galaxy S B ( http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysbmtd&type=stable)
Samsung Galaxy S (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysmtd&type=stable) -> Forums have the Si9000 associated with "stmd"
Is either of these for the SGH-T959V? What's the difference between them? Has anyone moved to CM 10.1? What do you think? Any advantage over the custom ROMs discussed here (Slimbean, Bean Stalk, Ultragen, etc) ?
Thanks,
LaTejanaFria
There is no official CM ROM for this device yet. You'll have to "settle down" with one of our unofficial CM ROMs.
sent from me
look at signature for unofficial.
Thanks for the speedy reply. I'll keep Slim Bean.
Hey guys I'm just wondering if I get the latest siyah kernel on my phone if it would work. The jellybam stock kernel isn't the best battery life for my phone so would this kernel even help with this?

It is very important to read about the whatever it is you are about to flash and know more about your device. If you have read more into siyah you would know that it is an i9300 kernel which is the international S3 you have a i535 device which is the US S3. That kernel is optimized for the quad core processor that the i9300 has while all US versions of the Galaxy S 3 have a duo core processor. I am quite sure that wherever you got info on siyah mentioned what I just pointed out.
Thanks! That probably just saved my phone.... And it was just a thought because I asked my uncle what kernel he used and he said siyah so I didn't really even occur to me that not everything is universal... Do you know of any good kernels that would work on my device?
Well that depends on whether you have a Touchwiz or a AOSP rom. Pretty much all of them work like it suppose to. Since jellybam is an AOSP rom BMS works well.
Ok thanks... I didn't know whether jellybam was aosp or not and I didn't want to start blinding flashing kernels.. that cleared things up, thank you
Hey guys
I recently rooted my Galaxy Grand Duos to give my mom and I was wondering, is there a custom ROM that is similar or even exactly the same in looks?
I mean the menus, settings and all that?
She is very used to the stock ROM and was just to make things a little easier for her.
Thanks a lot guys
Search first if there is any devs who work with that phone. or use xposed framework. There are alot of theming modules there.
