[Q] Fastest ROM - Suggestions for a minimalist! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Howdy XDA peoples, I'm not too handy with the search bar and I haven't come across a thread for this yet so...
​>What is the fastest ROM for the Verizon Galaxy SIII? I'm going for minimal amounts of crap, as clean as they come, and as fast as they come.
​>Also, Stock or AOSP, which is faster? I imagine AOSP.
​>I'm not looking for kernel compatibility, which ROM is the fastest, just the ROM alone.
:good:THANKS IN ADVANCE!:good:

I personally find the fastest to be LiquidSmooth.
But no question you can narrow your search down to AOSP ROMs.

What about Pure AOSP? Would that be faster or does liquid smooth actually have performance modifications and tweaks?

It might not be minimal but beans 13 with tk kernel is the best set up I've used. In my opinion I prefer tw over aosp. No lag at all and great battery life

I'm an AOSP guy personally, but I do greatly appreciate your input!

theres an entire original development section here. do some research and find what works best for you and what you need out of a rom.
being fast isnt a valid criteria.
nobody can answer this question except for you. put in a little effort, do some learning/reading, itll serve you well.

Here you go. All your questions answered:

Carbon ROM 3/15 nightly build with KT kernel is FAST no crap bloat apps. I am running ktoonservative/bfg on Carbon ROM 3-15 build. I couldn't believe it last 2 days 0h 38m at 16% left battery and got 3 hrs 24 mins screen. Thanks to [Team Kernelizers][How To][TK Mod 1.0.1] Updated 03-21-13 KT747 Kernel Tweaks

I'm really just looking to see what others experiences have been, I've had my fair share of ROMs on this thing. Not as many stock, as I always felt they were slower, but still, plenty.
I also have done PLENTY of reading, hence the reason why I have never had to make a post before, I find my questions answers in my reading.
So I take offense to your comment ddurand. I'd like personal preference and input, not criticism on my research techniques.

everyones phone works differently. you just need to try things and see what you like and what fits you best.
theres threads all over like this with comparisons. heres another good one besides the one posted above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030478)
asking for peoples personal opinion will net you 10+ different roms to try.
dont take it too seriously, im just trying to help.
its just how it works. you need to flash ROMs to see what works best on your phone.

I think nottas paranoid android is a great candidate. Other than the pie interface and hybrid ui stuff, it's basically AOSP. It's also compiled with linaro. I think the minimal features really help keep it smooth and fast.

Best and Fastest threads usually get closed because they rely on each individual users personal preferences and use.

Couldn't have put that any better, PA is def the fastest ROM I have ever had on my phone. Minimal AOSP compiled with linaro, plus hybrid UI and PIE controls. Can't beat that.

download a few and test each phone is a bit different
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried a few, favourite is dark knight 5 rom with Icy glitch kernel. It is very smooth and I get about 1700 in quadrant. I see some people get well above 2000 in quadrant. How do the achieve this. I know quadrant isn't really important but just curious on how people got scores like that.
Dave,
Quad is worthless imho

shameless plug
Cannot complain about my ROM. Enjoyed it twice - while cooking and while running!
Infinitum with Devil kernel 0.55 is by far the most amazing experience I've had on my cappy. And I've tried every rom and kernel config. Second best for me was Slim ICS and then Docs Master ICS v11. For kernels, Devils new i897 kernel blows them away, but semaphore used to be my favorite as it tweaked the most stable. Icy Glitch close behind in third but could be considered second by some for its over locking capability/stability. Keep in mind these are my opinions and what I've tested and works best on my device. Each device will vary.

Why do people keep saying that each phone runs better on a different kernel or Rom? Aren't they all supposed to be made from the same chips? I don't know which ones my phone like but i know that some work better than others.

I would recommend simply aokp.

because each phone's chips are made slightly different because a dust size difference can make a difference in the phone. It would be impossible to make every chip 100% identacle and cost efficient. Also, between builds there is slight difference that make them different then previous build

I've only tried Dark Knight and CM9 nightlies.. with stock kernel.. and DK was beautiful, but sluggish and glitchy for me. CM9 nightlies have been pretty solid and quick and responsive.
I have to vote for the latest simply aokp odexed version with devil kernel.

Best ROM threads don't last here. The best (fastest, whatever) ROM is the one that runs properly on your phone. Try them on for size and make your choice.

Such a broad question dude it truly depends on what your phone likes best a well as you. As some may prefer this ROM others may prefer another ROM.
Also depends on ROM,Kernel combo as well try em all and see what's best to your desires.

this. there's no way to answer this question. each phone/user are different. there are far too many options for rom/kernel combinations, not to mention all the variable settings to say which is best.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Like has been said, there are many options. Probably the most popular is cyanogenmod, but I've been hooked on Paranoid Android for awhile (which is based on CM). My advice for a beginner is to spend time in the forums and narrow it down to the popular ones. Subscribe to a few and get into the discussions so you get to know the lingo and issues people are having with the ROMs. Try several out to get a feel of what they have to offer and the features you find you enjoy having.
Once you are familiar with the features you prefer, you can narrow down your perfect fit by reading the OP of a ROM (for what it offers) and a few of the posts from the latest update date (for stability and what to expect). I'd suggest only after this stage that you get into trying different kernels with your ROM. The kernel is like changing engines in your car...YMMV, and some will perform better than others on your specific device and ROM.
Hope this helps!

ROM battle: AOKP vs BEAM ROM

Which is best and why? Enter your experience and reviews please.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2
We cannot justify that the Rom x is better than the Rom y, it depends on our own taste and way of using it.. sense our ICS base ROM's are under development as of this time,
and most of all we just need to provide them some log's in every issue we encounter so that they can work on it, in that way we can have a better ICS as ROM builds progress.. what we can do is to give thanks to our great dev's who work hard to give us the ICS,
but base on my experience i never encounter any issue in AOKP, specially on the latest build
Beam hands down. Smoother faster and better battery life. I think so anyways . But both are awesome!

Let's see, how's that phrase go again... Oh yea...
It's all a matter of opinion, and my opinion is the only one that matters... to me...
Everyone has a favorite, for whatever reason, but their reasons may not be the next persons. Personally, haven't tried Beam, and no offense to whoever the dev is for it, but I don't plan to. I'm happy with AOKP, and I'll keep updating it (in fact I need to download the latest) but other than that, i'm done messing with this phone...

I was going to do something like this thread but for MIUI vs cMIUI. Then I thought that people would come telling that it's a personal thing, every ROM is great, they are all smooth and fast... and stuff like that. I think that the OP was asking for more than the general description. What really is it that made you choose that ROM over the other?
My choice here would be AOKP. I have used Team Acid's ROMs since forever, back in the Froyo days when ICBINB and Audiophiles were all over the place. I trust their work and it fits my personality. Constant support and never had an unsolved issue. My dad has been using Valhalla Black since it came out, I don't remember when. He thinks that it's the ultimate thing, still. So, that's enough proof that their work is awesome. Doesn't mean I don't like other development. I have used every ROM, mod and kernel here. Just my preference. Of course, AOKP is smooth, fast, stable, simple, no confusing apps (normal launcher), doesn't take much time to set up to my preferences and it has constant support and updates. But then again, every other ROM has it too. It's very hard to describe the choice, but I can't find other way to explain it.
No disrespect to other devs here. I know Erik, Thomas, Dao, Solrac, Anton and the others do an excellent job. In fact, I'm currently on cMIUI, not AOKP. But I have tried all other's and it's very hard to decided with which one to stay with.
Beam if you want speed and smoothness
aokp if you want customization

Fastest/Nicest ROM?

There are a lot of ROMS for the Nexus S.. I just want some opinions on the fastest/nicest ROMs that you guys have experienced. It can be 4.1 or 4.2, just want something that performs really smooth and is well made.
Currently on CM 10.1, 4.2.2
Thanks

If you want a stable &fast ROM,I would bet on 4.1.2. Out of all 4.1.2 ROMs,I always liked baked black bean 6.
None of the 4.2 ROMs are anywhere near 4.1 ROMs for Nexus s.

The latest CM 10.1 M Snapshot is pretty stable. I Like it (Y)
Hellybean is perfect
R: Fastest/Nicest ROM?
CM 10 (4.1.2) full tweaked (autostart, 800Mhz cpu, etc) is awesome!
It's stable, fast, smooth and with a long battery life.
the only downside is that is not a so good for heavy games.

I've been using rustyjays adapted version of RasCarlo's rasbeanjelly 4.2.1 with Bedalus' Marmite 7.3.1 and it has been awesome. Smooth and fast with this combo.Better than the old Massive D-bag Overload that I was on before (which was just a tweaked rasbeanjelly anyway), especially without the jerk comments when you ask a question on that old thread.

Just returning the favour. My comments were true at the time (months ago), but that rom is no longer the best.
First wrong forum as stated before. Second there is no best rom/kernel/mod. I suggest you search, read and test and make that decision yourself. Thread locked

Aokp popular?

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but it doesn't appear that aokp is very popular amongst galaxy s3 users.
I see a lot of Roms, carbon, bonestock, hyper drive, MIUI, cm, etc. Aosp and touch wiz.
However, I don't see many people talking about and using aokp.
Am I missing something, or is aokp not that good on the galaxy s3, not as supported, etc?
Thanks!

I definitely like it better than cm. Not a huge fan of cm, too few customization options IMO, same with PA. Although, I do like pacman ROM.

Cool. I will check out pacman.
On rootzwiki, is there a specific thread for the Verizon aokp ROM? I can't seem to find it.
I am definitely intrigued about pacman. I guess you prefer aosp to touchwiz? I can't stand the look of touchwiz, but my bonestock ROM was working pretty great with good battery life. I don't know if with so many features with the pacman ROM, performance or battery will suffer. I will read up on it.
I am on an unofficial miui for now.

Not sure if the features would hinder performance or not to be honest lol. If you go on RootzWiki, forums, team forums, AOKP, you'll see d2vzw and that's us. I'm on the latest nightly I think but I'm about to check out pacman, but I'm kinda waiting for some more of the 4.3 issues to get worked out.
And yes, I very much prefer it to touchwiz. I kinda decided on the phone by AOKP's presence actually, and then Andy got it and made bonestock and I was sold lol.
