Running a recent PACman ROM nightly (22.0.1) but the battery life is pretty bad. Absolutely love everything else so I was hoping a different kernel might help out a bit in the battery department. Tried flashing the latest Lean Kernel but when I tried to boot I got a pink "SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII" screen and it just hung there. I've got a backup so no worries on that front. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
What is the file name of the Leankernel zip that you flashed? Sounds like you flashed the TW version.

I think that's it:
lk_s3vzw_tw_jb-v2.2.zip
Tried flashing Zeus kernel too but I had the same issue minus the pink. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious. I'm new to all this stuff. What does the tw designation mean, exactly?
Figured out the TW thing. I'm guessing if they aren't in the dev forms then there are no AOSP versions available then? Hope they pop up soon.
TW = Touchwiz, which is the software that Samsung had on the phone before you flashed this custom rom. You're looking for the AOSP version of Leankernel, well any kernel you intend to flash, for PacMan. Go to the Verizon GSIII section of Rootzwiki and click on the AOSP Leankernel thread. Download any of the 5.0 versions of AOSP Leankernel.
Oh, and Imoseyon is not making an xda thread. So that isn't happening lol

Awesome just got the latest LeanKernel build. already flashed Ktoonsez so i'll see how that works out for a few days then switch over and give Lean a try. Thanks for the info.

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

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.
Not looking for a JB ROM necessarily, just whichever one has the fewest problems, if any.
Thanks
beans if you want touchwiz, paranoid android if you want aosp.
I say cleanrom for most stable. But beans an clean rom are best place to start.

Very happy with paranoid 2.13
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm using cleanrom, but I've tried beans as well. Both just work - no hassles.
I'm running synergy r68 and have had absolutely no issues with it or ziggys kernel.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
ran synergy r60 with zero issues.
switched the 9/6 build of paranoid android and have had zero issues.
i suggest trying a touchwiz rom and a CM10 rom and see whcih you prefer
Yea I should clarify that any of the Custom stock TouchWiz roms are stable, totally a preference thing ther...but on aosp, paranoidandroid 2.13 is by far the most stable!
Another happy CleanRom user here. I've only used stock (root66) and CM10 (still had too many issues for me as of a week or two ago).
Cleanrom/Cleankernel all the way baby!! Waiting for that lovely JB to drop (stable)
Gents, I'm a business user and though I like the feel and specs of the phone, most of the ROMs are kinda goofy with bright colors, silly fonts and the stock email app for corporate accounts is atrocious. Are any of the ROMs customizable to the point where I don't have to use yellow/brown/pink balloons in text, and can any of them support Visual VM?
Use jellywiz. The new leak has been running perfect for over a week now, and shouldn't be too different from stock to cause you any trouble

Guess that depends on what you you want stable. Theres a give in take with every rom you flash. If you want everything 'stable' stick with stock.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Why do people ask questions like this that have no real factual answers. The same ROM will run differently on a different phone/phone setup.
If you use the Trebuchet launcher you may get different/no bugs where as I, using Nova Launcher, will run into bugs...
The "unanswerability" of questions like these are half the reason they get locked up.
There is no best ROM for x to do y. Try using different ROMs to find what you like. Locked.
I would like to flash to the CleanROM 2.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832070
But it says it's based on G7.
My current baseband for my GS3 is the VRALHE.
Can I still use it?
I know there is another CleanROM Ultra Lite, but I would like to aroma features.
Yes you can do that. No problem.
Your modem and RPM will still be HE, but kernel and system will be G7.

I've only used CR of those three but am a happy camper and have no reason to switch.
Using CleanROM and I think this is better.
Less crap to deal with.
I like the clean-ness lol
I use cleanrom 2.1 soley for the kernel and love it. I will upgrade to 2.5 once the source code is released so cleankernel can be updated to work with it correctly.
Ive pretty much have tried every rom and kernel for this phone and always comeback to cleanrom if that helps you to choose. Its pretty much personal preference so try all of em. Just make sure if the rom comes with a kernel to flash back a stock kernel if the next rom isnt compatiable with it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I throw a vote in for CleanROM as well, works flawlessly. I have had no reboots, problems, etc.
Also its easy to throw on add-ons. Superfast.

Yes. I'm using it with all HE based firmware/kernel/radio. Once you flash CleanROM 2.5 it will install the G7 kernel. I went ahead and flashed the HE kernel back afterwards, and it's been running great for me. Not everyone has the same results, so you may want to keep some nandroid backups of various combinations until you find one you are happy with.
I've tried most of the current ROMs out there, and of the 3, I like CleanRom. However, my fav right now is Liquidsmooth.
I am on cleanrom 4.5 with kinda crap 2.3 and I cannot get voice typing go work ,or voice search to work while using my lg hbs-700 Bluetooth headphones . I have searched and searches three forums and still cannot find anyone else having this problem. And no fixes. Can anyone help? Stock kernal and stock bootanimation
Nobody has any insight? Sweet not even a bad suggestion.. I guess that's what I get for posting in the proper forum. Nobody to flame so no interest.
Might be kernel related. Maybe try a different touch wiz kernel, such as lean kernel for tw.

If it is kernel related, the only kernel to try is Ktoonz. Imo has not updated his kernel because there is no source for the latest updates.
OP, does this issue solely affect CR 4.5? Do you notice the same issue with the JB leak and Beans JB 4.1 build from 11/15?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
It did not happen on 4. O just on 4.5 it still ok heard on the kt kernal. I was going to do a fresh install. Now I'm just going to live with it till 5.0 is released.
This seems to be a bug in j1. It occurs on stock deodexed, synergy, and clean ROM 4.5. I am going to Odin back and see if it is because of the deodxed base or if it is the release itself.

Did you try stock JB leak #3, Beans JB build 4, or CleanRom 5? Each of those are based on the latest JB leak #3 VRBLK1.
Giving my wife the White Galaxy S3 Verizon for Xmas and wanted to get recommendation which stock based ROM to install?
1. Hyperdrive
2. Jelly "Beans"
3. Axis
4. stock Verizon 4.1.2
5. other 4.1.2 based
I'm primarily interested in rock solid stability, and some of the Touchwiz experience. She might be getting the Note 3 in the future so I want her to get used to using some of Samsung apps. I have a second S3 for me and I'm testing 4.4 roms, currently installed CyanFox. So please keep discussion relevant to 4.1.2 roms and experience. I know 4.3 is out for Verizon, but I'll wait for Devs to build it into ROMs.
thanks and see visist my blog

Lol! Can't go wrong with those.
Light and clean (more optimized, less theming):
Tkrom, bonestock, cleanrom, obsessed
More heavily modified (extra mods and themes,):
Hyperdrive, goodness, axis, jellybeans, moar, wicked sensations, the people's rom
I'm maybe leaving a few out, but look them over and see what you want. If you want something simple and easy you can't go wrong with the top 4.
Some phones handle roms better than others, so if one isn't working out well then don't be afraid to try another.
I also want to point out that you have to make sure your wife's phone isn't on the 4.3 base (vrucml1). If it is, do not flash any custom roms, that bootloader is completely locked down.

I've tried every single 4.1.2 TW rom out there, and my phone seems to run the best (least "Touchwiz" lag) on Hyperdrive with faux kernel. Completely stable, too. I also like the multitude of changes you can apply. However, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all are great!
Like the above comment mentioned, make sure the OTA wasn't taken, although you probably know this.
They are all great, try them all.
As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to make this determination based on their own, individual use.
