Most stable AOSP based Rom you've tried so far? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So far I've only tried out TouchWiz based Roms for stability on our Verizon GS3. I've worked up the confidence to now try a AOSP Rom haha. Mainly stayed away because people said there were some data issues and problems with external SD cards with AOSP Roms? But anyways.... So which AOSP based Rom is the most stable that you've tried so far? I'm browsing the AOKP website right now.

I'm on AOKP right now, and I love it. I'm thinking of trying something else to try halo, but AOKP is my daily right now.

AOKP is pretty stable? And is it really that small of a Rom 152MB? I see that on the website like whoa for real!? lol....This is my first time trying an AOSP based Rom on my Verizon S3. Is there anything different I should do if I flash this Rom? Do I need to be on a specific OTA version from Verizon? K3, MB1, MD3, ect?

Very stable. I would install the mb1 aio.zip if you haven't already. Just because the md3 is terrible. AOSP ROMs are much smaller than touchwiz ROMs.

I reverted back to MB1 OTA, Rooted, and now I'm running Jelly Beans 15.. Would I already have the AIO or no? And does AOKP Rom include the Motorola "Rings Widget"?

This thread could get closed down as soliciting for our opinions on the "best" or the most "stable" can lead to arguments. Also we can not guarantee you will have the same positive experience of any ROM that gets mentioned in your thread. With that out the way the most stable one that I have tried was Avatar.

You would already have it, so you should be good. Also, AOKP won't have the moto stuff. There may be a flashable zip for that stuff.

Will it be a problem if I flash AOKP on TWRP 2.4.3.0? I don't like the newest version of TWRP because it doesn't read my back ups on the external SD card.

I had a hard time with twrp when it came to going from AOSP to touchwiz ROMs. It only read the 0 folder from the previous AOSP ROM so I wasn't able to get to anything that I downloaded to the download folder which is the sdcard0/download folder. Also from some reason you might have to wipe cache/dalvik Cache/factory reset a few times to successfully flash some ROMs.

Not sure, I'm on the newest twrp, and haven't had an issue with backups on my external.

I'm already on Jelly Beans by beanstown. Been on that Rom. It's awesome for a TouchWiz based Rom. But you can't customize the lock screen shortcuts on the AOSP lockscreen. And I'd like to add more to get a full circle.

theyre all stable.
youll need to flash the rom, then the newest version of the gapps.
there are small features in each that can make people stay or go from each. also every rom runs different frmo phone to phone. same goes for kernels.
Ive been runnning pacman with halo, pie and expanded desktop and im really liking it.
for a standard use setup though i go to slimbean.

I flashed AOKP today and nothing went wrong! Yes!! haha. It was a nice Rom but not as many mods as I was looking forward to. Not many battery icon choices but not a bad Rom at all.

I always keep liquidsmooth on my sd card when I get the itch but I have tried almost all them.

Does aokp still have issues with the video camera recording volume being lower than touch wiz? I know in aosp they fixed it a little but it's still very low comparatively speaking
Sent from my tin can with string

I'm coming from a device (htc incredible 2) that didn't have an update to ICS. So, we had great developers to get ICS & JellyBean on our device. Back then I really loved AOSP, but with this phone I don't. I tried cm10.1 and missed a lot of the stock features, mostly the camera. I'll be sticking with modified stock for the time being because everything works and the camera is awesome. I'm sure everyone has there opinions, I'm interested in them for sure.

Which custom ROM is most stable on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3? (September 2012)

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.

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.

SGS3 Vanilla JB Rom?

Hello, so far I stuck with stock roms... first ICS now leaked JB... I really would like a plain vanilla jb rom still retaining the great features of the SGS3... can anybody point me in the right direction?

No such thing, as vanilla android is unaltered, i.e. the nexus devices.
I would say that cyanogen mod is probably as close as you'll get. Aokp is close too but has much more customization options.

There isn't one. Use cm10 and don't use the customization. Also you will not have the s3 features like motion controls, camera, etc.
You're best bet is to try a couple out and find what works for you.

I'm gonna work on building vanilla JB rom as soon as the semester ends......don't have enough time till then :\ Should be convenient timing as a lot of the leg-work is already complete
I've already started working on one, but its not looking very promising so far. Its really really difficult getting the build to cooperate, and then once I finally do get it to cooperate thenaybe it won't take too long to get some of the initial kinks ironed out so people can start testing. But at least if I cannot get the bugs worked out enough to post it for people to use there is someone else who will begin working on it shortly. So hopefully we will have a pure AOSP ROM soon, one way or another.

Give Omega ROM a try, there is an optional to remove all SGS3 default bloatware that comes with it when you flash the ROM.
I am using it because this ROM is having all other SGS3 features like the motion control, stock camera, etc.:good:

I will have to try this, I am running Jellybeans 12 atm because I acutally like Touchwiz themed to look like AOSP, never really liked using the launchers like Nova etc (not sure why). I may try it out just to see what 4.2 has etc.
if it's the AOSP look you thrive for but ejjoy the TouchWiz ROM bean is perfect for that. however, if you decide you want to give another TW ROM a try, I personally run my own rom with my own theme, but I ported bean's theme to Team Synergy's ROM, and also CleanROM.
but for a 4.2.2 ROM my personal favorite is Liquid-RC1, Very stable for me good battery life, and has the most features from what I've ran.
If you would like to run a nice 4.1.2 AOSP ROM I highly suggest, either AOKP nov27 build. or ParanoidAndroid 2.5.6
Paranoid Android also has kick ass 4.2 ROM out, along with PAC ROM it's called, it combines the goodies from CM, Paranoid Android, and AOKP ROMS and put's it all into one. Great ROM, but since there's so many features, many are overlapping eachother, or simply are not enabled yet. BUT I still think it's a great ROM!

[Q] IS CM stable worth to install?

Hi there mates,
I finally decided to dump the stock ROM and give it a try on custom one.
After reading a bit i think i'm starting to like Cyanogen, but since i want a good stable ROM i appreciated some opinions form anyone who is using it.
1st and really important: my stock ROM does not have any of the know issues (deep sleep probs, random reboots, battery drains etc...) so anyone know if CM 9.x stable have any of this issues?
2nd does everything work? In the CM forums i found no one complaining with "loosing" functionality's but i would like to ear from anyone that uses this on a daily basis. (i found a lot of people complaining with encryption problem and bad flashing but not about Wifi radio, camera, etc...)
3rd: Is this the best choice to use on a daily basis? Or there is a better/more stable/more fluid Rom?
Thanks to all.
Most of the CM 10.x ROMs are pretty stable and usable. I am a fan of the KatKiss ROMs. 4.2.2 has the best functionality, but the 4.3 variant is not bad. The only thng that does not work for me is camera on Skype.

Hmmm, if I did it was a while ago. CM 9 is based on ICS. I have not run an ICS ROM for more than a few hours in over a year. I would say that the Jelly Bean based ROMs (CM10.X) feel SO much faster due to project butter. I flashed back to stock ICS a bit ago, and it feels so sluggish.
Most of the threads on CM 10 you can see how stable they are. I know the No-Name CM 10.1 is rock solid. Joesteink has moved on, but the ROM is still rock solid and many users swear by it.

Is CM finally stable? I had it installed a year or so ago, but then it was still beta for the transformer. Since then I used various flavors and eventually stayed with the EOS-build. Very stable with all the options I ever need (like overclocking and gouvenor-changing). I'm still using EOS, since it's stable and performing very well. Katkiss seems to be the continuation of it, so you could try it yourself And if you don't like it, then you drop it for something else

Which 4.1.2 ROM do you recommend?

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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
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.
