[Q] Lightweight ROM for Infuse

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what you all recommend for a lightweight ROM for the infuse, id like it to be stable as possible and no bloatware. Basically a ROM with nothing but the basics and lets you get the job done.
Thanks in advance!
Also, if there is not really a match for this or others would like this I would love to get one up myself. If someone could point me towards the basics of creating a ROM it would be greatly appreciated.

I've only tried Legend 3 ICS, Mind of Mac, and Ethereal 1.2/1.3, and while they're all great in their individual ways, i've found Ethereal to be the smoothest with a slight speed advantage over the others. It seems to be the most basic with not a lot, but just enough theming to set it apart from stock. It's the ROM i'm sticking with for now. I'm sure others will have some suggestions too..

I've been using stock gb with bloatware removed for about two months now. Works great and is pleasantly smooth. Used Holocaust launcher for the ICS look w/o the battery drain, bugs, etc.

Those are all good options for stable, close to stock, and debloated. I'd add Vagabond 3.5 and 4.0 to the list too.
You can also grab dman's UCLB3 rooted, deodexed package and do your own debloating either by removing apps from the zip in /system/app or using TiBu to do the same once installed... that will get you very close to stock, stable, debloated, and rooted...
And...there are plenty of other roms that have more customizations, are still stable, and provide a different look and feel to using your Infuse. I recommend finding the stable rom you like, then using the infuse toolkit to make a full rom backup and a config backup. After that you can survey the Infuse Super Everything Thread (ISET) for links to other roms. (Links to toolkit and ISET are in my sig).

cm7
or cm9?

I just started using slim ics,its small like 80mb

Ethereal for me, I haven't tried a lot of ROMs though. I tried MIUI few months ago, the version I tried was very fast, but buggy. No Bluetooth, no HDMI etc.
Recently, I tried Ethereal, most recent version with HOLO Launcher and I must say my Infuse has been brought back to life. I might keep it for another year until a stable Jelly Bean Android device comes out. I wish they make a Nexus with expandable memory and a +5 inch screen; until then, Infuse on Ethereal will be my daily driver

Using JB liquid smooth and its quick and haven't had any stability issues at all. I would give it a go, think you would love it ! You can remove anything you don't want to lighten it up

Slimbean and liquidsmooth are the 2 most stable of the roms I've tried. Slim being the lightest I believe.

[REQ] SGS Stock Cam.apk

XDA,
Requesting stock sgs 3 cam.apk to AOSP based roms. stats are in sig.
thanks

not possible, if you looked around you would know it relies on the touchwiz framework.

As he said the stock camera needs the touchwiz framework so it could he possible, but probably a pain. However check this out. Its still the AOSP camera, but adds the features if the stock camera.

no need to be an ass bro. im pretty sure it relies on TW. it was a shot in the dark question plus, i've searched for many things on xda and found nothing ... and sometimes when asking a simple question there's that 1 person out of 340958329584439589 member that may have the solution.

Help me choose a rom

Number 1 for me is stability. I am looking for a Rom that fully works or for the most part everything is working. Full camera functionality/flash, Sending and receiving SMS & MMS, GPS (I use navigation often), making and receiving calls, all the basic stuff that work on stock. Stability is my main objective. Second would be battery life & fluidity. Everything else like customization options is a nice bonus
I expected the Jelly Bean OTA to be better than it was. I did a factory reset when I got the update to make sure my phone started fresh. Even formatted internal and external SD card. I just expected a better experience. They took away some things I loved and added some things I don't like. But the main thing that bothers me is the occasional stutter/lag. And I notice battery life is worst on the JB OTA. I thought JB was suppose to be refined, it's not totally buttery smooth like they promote it to be. At least not on the stock Verizon variant of the GS3.
I am looking at "The Executioner" or the CleanRom/CleanRom Lite Edition. Any opinions or thoughts by people who have ran both would be appreciated!! I realize roms, as most things in life are a personal preference but I'd still like to get some opinions.

Another silly thread. We already have a few of these in the same section. Post there.

This post doesn't really give me an opinion on The Executioner Rom vs. CleanRom/CleanRom Lite Edition? I tried doing a search but nothing came up on the comparison of the two. Can you send me a link to that particular thread? I'd appreciate it bro. I'm only asking the people who have tried those two roms or either CleanRom or Executioner.

Im loving the executioner rom!! I was using synergy but im loving this one! Awesome and super stable... Also im using imoseyon kernal and am undervolting it. Great battery life and speed is awesome

Thanks for the feed back!! Is there any common bugs people been experiencing with it? All the basic functions are working well? Again I appreciate the reply, I'm brand new to the S3 section of the site. This makes me excited to see what the rom is about. I take it the rom has no stutters or occasional lag like the stock touchwiz.

I use the CM10 Nightlies. I update about once a week or so. And I have had very minimal issues. When I did run into any, I just updated the next day and the issue was fixed. And you can report bugs to the developers to help expedite the fixes as they come up. Not to mention no more touchwiz, *Gag*

I heard CM roms were great for customization but may not be most stable? I was thinking of trying it anyways. I like the AOSP or pure Google look and feel. I gotta think about it I don't know if I'll have the time to flash an update every day for a bug fix lol. Thank you for the input

I forgot to ask, thing that bothers me most about the recent official JB OTA, I am required to have my GPS turned on to refresh my weather Widgets. Being connected to the net is not enough anymore m after the update, now I need GPS on for some reason? Is this the case for the Executioner Rom or no?

People spend hours putting together guides, doing reviews, etc. It's frustrating sometimes to see how little effort some people put into utilizing the forum.
It works both ways. These boards would be alot less cluttered if people searched. We're all guilty of it, I'm not preaching. Just know where he coming from.
For example there's a great guide in the android development forum that compares many different roms.

[Q] ROM Suggestions Galaxy S3 Verizon

I have just switched over from an iPhone 5 to a Galaxy S3 and I am wondering what ROM I should go with. I have tried AOKP and CyanogenMod and I wasn't a huge fan. I am looking for a ROM where all of the radios work and it is on Jelly Bean.
The problem I had with AOKP is the bluetooth was spotty and I use that to play music in my car. The wifi wouldn't give me a chance to connect to networks where you have to accept the user agreement.
Any Suggestions?

Go to this link and download the 3.1.0 official at the top.
It's AOSP with absolutely no bugs! It's perfect and super clean. Oh, and Bluetooth has no issues either.

I just switched to liquid smooth and I'm a huge fan. Just make sure everything is backed up first. I also had to move everything to folder 0 because I switched from 4.2 back to 4.1 and then back. Wasn't a good idea lol
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I have tried 2 Touch wiz ROMs Synergy and CleanRom.. both are good. CleanRom seemed a little faster but synergy had more customization options.
But I am on the Official AOKP rom and it really smooth and fast. I have also tried Liquids, Slims, and baked. all of them are good to it really is a matter of what you are looking for. If you have Titanium backup you can be up and running on a new ROM in a few minutes... I am a flashaholic.
In my opinion I will be sticking with the Original Android Roms.

No one likes a ROM suggestion thread.
Roms run differently on everyone's phone.
It's your job to read through the threads and figure out which one you think is best for you.
if this is not your style.... Then I can assure you that you are on the wrong website.
However. Take a look over at clean ROM and synergy as they both work wonders.
Just to give you a start in the right direction

I'll give a vote for CleanROM and Synergy. There has been a lot of work on Synergy the past month, and the latest builds are smooth and have fantastic battery life.

Cyanogenmod is a slick operating system. It's aesthetically beautiful and provides options that users have wanted from original ROM developers, not custom ROMs.

[Q] Is there a Custom Rom that uses Touchwiz and allow you to customize it?

I was recently with the illusion rom and so far LOVED IT, but there is some stock apps I missed like the camera and stock email so i'm deciding to find a custom touchwiz rom but can't seem to find the right one. Is there a custom touchwiz rom that will do lots of customizing such as changing led colors, lockscreens, status bars, etc.
thank you

As far as changing led's go you can use lightflow.
The rest of your questions can be answered by looking through the op's of the Rom threads. Many offer customizations through aroma, morphology, or on the fly within the rom.

Most of them are customizable which pretty much negates the need for this thread. It just shows that you haven't seen the android development section to know that most if not all the roms allow for customization.

Hyperdrive is worth looking into as well. Stable and good battery life. Aroma installer. Everything you'd expect.
