Whats a good ROM and setup for the Verizon galaxy s3

So I've flashed a couple ROMs and I'm having bad luck with them. I've tried everything possible to fix the issues and no luck. So I'm just curious to see what ROMs everyone else is using and what setup they have so I can try them out. Thanks!!

Clean rom 5.0

I'm currently running jelly beans build 5 by beanstown and loving it. I just flashed imo's lean kernel 1 so I will see how that goes but I give this ROM 2 thumbs up. What type problems are you having. Are you doing full wipes and are you on the latest radios. If it is the media drain for the battery you have to let it all settle in. I always do a full wipe flash the ROM then reboot. I then wait 5 to 10 min after it first loads before I even touch it. Then I set it all up. Hope this helps some

Been running Liquid Smooth for a day and love it. May I am glad I came back to Android from iSheep.

JB factory image would be ideal for stability I think but unfortunately availability is limited right now.

I was running beans5 too. i loved it as well. it is almost like the perfect marriage of aosp and TW.( you have the TW features with the aosp appearence) only my phone kept locking with sms. so i am running galaxymod now and it is great.

I've flashed beans town build 5 I've tryed aokp,cm10,jelly wiz, and all them either had static while making calls or WiFi not working right or when I use certain apps it will open the app then just close out of the apps...before I flash them I do a factory reset then wipe cache/delvik cache then flash ROM and after phone boots up I let it set for 10 to 15 mins...and then I'll go back into recovery and wipe cache/delvik cache then do a fix permission and nothing seems to work.

+1 for cleanrom if you wnat a stable hybrid.

If you want a flawless dd go for a cleanrom. I'm running the lite edition currently but the 5.0 is just as good.

Have you tried flashing the latest radio? Are you restoring apps+data with Titanium Backup or another app or just apps?
I'm using Synergy R125 with Leankernel TW JB 1.0 using the latest radio and rpm, and stability and battery life are both excellent.
When I flashed the latest release I did the first clean flash I've done in a while when flashing the same ROM (overdue for it), I only restored apps (no data) from TiBu with a few exceptions. Also, though it won't help the issues you've had, I moved everything from my SD card to my computer, formatted the card, cleaned out some stuff and then coppied everything back to the SD card.

CleanROM?
How you guys get good battery life on CleanROM 5? It's a battery drain for me and it isn't the media server issue...

Been on Beans Build 5 for a week and it has been great. Battery life good as well. Couple of issues with Google Play Music, but other than that, Love it!

Beans build 5 with imo's lK 1.0 and I just got 18 hours of battery with 4 hours screen time and I was at 32%. I can't ask for anything more than that. I am very happy with this set up.

Galaxy mod and mean lean jelly bean are both fanyastic. Super stable, fantastic battery life, silky smooth and fast.
Galaxy mod rls 9 comes out tonight. It will not disappoint.

My only hangup is that it's waaay quick. The fast animations are just fine but sometimes I do what I'm not trying to do... Does that make sense to anyone?
I get the best battery and I like the green. Synergy is awesome with similar battery but the Aroma installer and what I can pick is the lock!

Thank you. Got it to work. The dots weren't there which is probably why I never thought to do it. Had to force them from rom control. It seems the menu dots aren't on a lot of places, such browser and others. Not sure if it reason from rom or not. Shows on my Nexus 4, but it's rom is 4.2.2.
Not meant as a bug report, because I know this is not a maintained rom. Just curious is this is normal behavior.

Problems
I flashed this rom, and dont get me wrong it is amazing actually Favorite rom so far.:good::good::good: But i ran into problems when the "system UI" kept crashing randomly, esp when installing, also the paranoid hybrid ui wasnt wotking. I jost want phablet mode really. And save the worst for last, the rom kept breaking my super su root. When i root on this rom it says that it cant find my su binaries....
...ok now i restored a backup and tried both twrp and normal and both cant update the binary. When i tried to use superuser instead it said the root was under "legacy", and highlighted red, so it changed it and tried to root but still failed. idk i think it may be rom but not sure.
but anyway sweet rom.
happy flashing!!!!

yep i am aware of the bugs in the build. i am sorry that system ui is crashing. just for u guys runnjng this. Pacman finally added Flo to source so soon someone from the team will post a official build, but until then i will still try to update'
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

new update..small updates in source. synced to Pacman Flo vendor tree now. Still no Phablet UI. i think random ui crashes when downloading is fixed.

new update...phablet Ui is fixed

I love Nexus devices.
They get much love from devs.
Must flash, can't resist

The reason we haven't released is because of all the bugs that are getting ironed out with the 4.3 merge. Most of which you have experienced. We're waiting to release a stable build. When ready it will be added to the nightly buildbot.

i knew that. i have mention to BKjolly about this. that is why this was originally in general. i have respect for the pacman team.

Is there a stable and light rom?

Hi all!
I'm using an HTC One S, and I tried some different roms.
I tried Pacman, Paranoidandroid, but they're a little bit heavy and full of features I'll never use, and the battery doesn't last too much.
So I tried CodenameLungo, Slimroms and Carbon, and they're light and the battery use is amazing... but most of them are based on nightly release, and they're not stable. Sometimes they freeze, sometimes the sim card stop to work, sometimes I have to reboot 'cause wifi doesn't work...
And actually I'm looking for a stable and light rom... does it exist?
Waiting for any suggestion (except for Sense based rom, it's too heavy!).
Thanks a lot!

Beanstalk

I'm using holo black bean 2.3. So far its been 100% stable for me over the past few weeks of heavy use. Most stable non sense ROM I've used. Not sure its as light as you want but the less features you use the faster the rom will likely be especially over time.

That's my advise, too. Almost vanilla Android. Latest stable for ville is 10.0 (4.1.2) and RC2 for 10.1 (4.2) is out.

Jengirl ... I've been a pure android guy since putting my old Diamond to rest. A couple of months ago, had finally had enough of Sprint, sold the Nexus S 4G, and picked up a One S for TMobile. Immediately installed CM10, and after a few weeks tried Code Lungo ... same as you, just had annoying little issues. Finally decided to run stock 4.1.1, but without all the unnecessary TMo bloat and with a stripped down, light version of Sense. Ever since, this sucker simply flies ... without any lag. What made the difference was Rom Cleaner, that I customized to meet my needs. By the way, in addition to being fast without lag ... everything works!

I'm also on holoblackbean 2.3 & this thing is stable & it flies. No complaints. I want to switch to Odyssey when this one gets buggy or it let's me down.... It never has.

Ya, I've moved to beanstalk from odyssey, dev seems more active so more updates get merged in. So far it's great, not a single issue.
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

I tried odyssey and i had frequently loop reboot, so i passed to cm10.1.3 rc2 band it seems a bit more stable

Definitely can't confirm any reboots on odyssey. Try fresh install after 3x full wipe.... Running very smooth and stable here...

I've made the wipes but nothing has changed: I think it is a kernel instability problem

Actually I'm trying Odyssey, but it's just a day, and I've never had an issue.
And as soon as I can I'll try Beanstalk too and romcleaner.
Thanks again!

Just wanted to give a suggestion to try a specific build of CM 10.1. Look for this under "M snapshot": cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-ville-M2
I've been using it with no issues for a few months now and everything works.

Why use a monthly snapshot when there are more stable release candidates available?
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

Best stable, light ROM for me after trying all ROM's is [ROM] SourcE v1.4 | Audio quality | Smooth | [Unsense MOD]
Everything works with just the right amount of mods, especially the sound mod is best for me. Until I can safely update firmware for 4.2.2 Sense 5 this is best ROM for stability.

Beanstalk gets my vote, CM based and very smooth

Because, in my experience, oddly enough the most recent RCs have actually been less stable than the snapshot release. :/

Here's a copy of my user text for Rom Cleaner. Using it will make the rom fly, while keeping the important parts of Sense (ie: great camera, etc).

Netflix freezes

I had run cm 10.2 and Cody's ROM based off cm 10.2 on both Roms Netflix freezes. It will start playing like for a couple of seconds and the image will just freeze I'm still able to hear the audio... I tried with kentu kernel installing vendor blobs as well but I keep having the same issue.. Does anyone else have this problem?

I had this problem on my stock 4.2.2 3113. I just did two factory resets and it works fine. There was an app in there somewhere that Netflix didn't work too well with.

I told Netflix about the whole problem before. As I figured, no response back. But as is says on their update in Play Store, "Fixes and optimization for devices running Android 4.3." Doesn't seem they have went too far on that. Hopefully you can get the issue figured out on your 4.3 ROMS soon.

Phone Freezes At CM Splash Screen Updated

So after I flashed 10.2 I can only boot my Verizon s3 on the first initial boot. If I ever have to reboot the phone, it locks up at cyanogenmod flash screen. The only way I can get the phone to boot back up after this, is to do a battery pull and boot into twrp. Then do a full format, doing just a factory reset doesn't work. Once I complete a full format, I can restore one of my backup images and the phone will boot once, and that's it. Then I have to start the process all over again, any ideas?

Don't know if this helps but I'm currently running OSE 4.3.1, but have tried with dirty unicorn & liquid smooth.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Well I managed to get this fixed not 100 percent sure on how, what I did was flash stock deodexed image in twrp, then started flashing from 10.1.3 and then to 10.2. I'm not sure which helped, but after this I was able to restore any of my previous roms and they boot just fine now.

Yep I guess so, still learning on all of this custom rom stuff. I tried everything prior to just flashing stock rooted rom, wasted a ton of time wish I would of thought of it sooner.
Below are some current rom's that i'm running all seem to be very stable with very little bugs.
Current Rom:[ROM][OFFICIAL][4.3] CM10.2 M1 for d2vzw so far this rom seems to be very stable have only had one random reboot since I flashed it yesterday.
Backup Up Rom's:
1. So far my all time favorite with very little issues:[ROM][4.3.1][Official][OSE Rom][d2vzw]
2. I really enjoy this rom only complaint is the cell service on it doesn't seem to be quite as stable:[ROM] [Team D.I.R.T] Dirty Unicorns 4.3.1 - d2vzw v3.9
3. Another very stable rom, only complaint is with the radio sometimes after a reboot radio doesn't work and you have to do a battery pull:[ROM][4.3][OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v2.10 - d2vzw - 10|6|13
