I have been reading these forums for the last few days. I have seen a lot of threads like this but they have not really answered my questions.
I need a stable ROM, where phone, internet, text, gps all work. I am looking for the best battery life. I am also not looking to flash a ton of updates.
I would like to get a jelly bean ROM if one fits my needs. If not then Ice cream. If you guys could recommend a jelly bean and Ice cream rom I would appreciate it.
Thanks again for the help!
PS Kenny if you reading this and you want to make a Jelly Bean Peoples ROM I would love to try it out!

For Jellybean No doubt Paranoid Android
For ICS (TouchWiz) Synergy
I guess everyone agrees with you

It's just tough to give a meaningful answer to this question because it really depends on how you use your phone and your personal tastes. Best thing to do is try out several ROMs and see what works best for you.

For ICS: Cleanrom....it removes all the bullcrap/bloatware and doesn't mess with it too much so things work and work well. Dirtytweaks if you want a little more customization
Synergy is good, however still has some bloat in it that I'm surprised has not been removed...still a very good rom thats geared moreso in my opinion for a heavier tweaker as opposed to just needing a steady not messed with too much rom
Beans is another good one and in my opinion the inbetween of clean and synergy
For JB: paranoid or just go with the default official cm10 nightlies though I can't speak much of personal experience with jb
The CM10 Nightlies(Jelly Bean) are/have become stable enough with yesterday's release. Minor GPS problems as in taking a minute to fix(it does fix, just takes longer than normal sometimes) and some FC's in random situations(Swiftkey install, when you go to change settings through it it FC's the settings. Gotta go in directly to the settings) are about it.
All the functionality bugs seem to have been squished out, no more 3s call delay/echo. So far no data drops reported except from dirty flashes. Text works fine even with a SMS(not MMS) quick reply popup if you want it.
It's pretty nice and stable. I recommend trying it out. (first boot is tricky, let it sit at the activation screen until you see all your radios connect then reboot it and you should be good to go)
Thanks guys I appreciate the advice
Sorry forgot one other question
How is the battery life with ICS vs Jelly Bean?
Thank you
Incubus's jellybean port is 100 percent perfect, literally no issues. And a 5889 quadrant score.

you should spend a week with a CM10 style ROM (i prefer paranoid android as already suggested), and a week with a touchwiz rom.
they are different experiences. you should try them both for sure.
Hello, I finally got my wife to agree to let me root and put a custom rom on her infuse, currently running froyo. I just rooted it last night and was looking around for some stable ICS roms. I found lots of discussions about which roms were best but had a somewhat more difficult time finding the links to said roms. And stability is a must here as she knows absolutely nothing about messing around with phones. Also GPS and Bluetooth are absolute musts as well. She finally agreed to let me do this after seeing galaxy s2 running CM9. So I was kinda leaning towards a cm9 rom, a lot of the ones I saw though listed Bluetooth problems so I was wondering whose cm9 would be best for what I'm looking for here. That being said I am open to all stable ICS roms, not just tunnel visioned on cm9. So, if you all give me some good stable ICS rom, and their links, I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Just my 2 cents worth.......been d/l ROMs since GB........the JB ROMs that are out now are more stable than ICS.
Edit: biggest problem is, most of the Devs have moved on to JB.
ICS and jb both have camera recording problems... so jwep that in mind, jb has a slow but working GPS

In addition to the above comments. I would also caution you about future wife beatings and crazy ass tandrums if your giving a rooted phone to her. I know your asking about ICS, and some are suggesting Jellybean, however the best thing you can do for her is to put a rooted Gingerbread ROM like the following and just yank out whatever junk you don't want and keep it running smoother then stock!:
- Infused 2.2.3 (Extremely stable ROM that i used as my daily driver without incident for almost a year! Disadvantage is that it is no longer being developed. But really, it doesn't need anything else done to it.. absolutely everything just works!)
- Aeon (This is one of the newer Gingerbread ROM's that is still being updated and mantained. Also a very stable ROM where everything just works. The downside in my opinion is the Themeinig that is build into the ROM. Great for most, but not for everyone.)
Both of the above are excellent choices for a wife! And they are both built off of stock firmware so everything works.
Believe me, i would normally never reccomend someone go back to Gingerbread, but as she is coming from Froyo she will notice a big improvement. Also, from one man to the next. I can tell you, my bigest mistake was replacing my wifes crack berry with my older rooted X10. It was great for me, but for her she just wants things to work. The second something doesn't work, she turns into the hulk! I absolutely love to tinker and i'm never done messing with my phone, but don't assume your wife will appreciate the challenges as much as you would! I ended up just putting it back to bone stock and gave it to her with the understanding that she was not to complain to me anymore! LOL
Oh one last thing.. the saying really is true.. "A happy Wife is a happy Life!" LOL
I had the Vibrant and flashed all kinds I'd ROMs with it. Moved to the iPhone 4s and then traded that for my new S3. It was a good choice. So now I'm planning to get started flashing on this phone.
Wanted to know what is the same and what is different from the Vibrant from previous Vibrant users.
What's the best place to start flashing? I'm looking for stability and speed. Preferably more stability than stock cause stock is a little buggy honestly.

Honestly, the post was more about the Vibrant than anything. I was hoping to see some of the same people and get their experiences on ROMs compared to what we had on the Vibrant.
Like on the Vibrant it went from Android 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3 and you constantly had to be aware of what you were flashing. It doesn't seem that way (yet) with the S3 from what I've been reading. Is that the case? At this point everything is compatible and we're able to flash away for the most part?
And I was hoping someone could tell me what's stable and smooth right now. Stock has been touch and go for my device and I haven't done anything to it. I'm looking for a fast non-overclocked kernel matched with a stable daily driver ROM. Any help is appreciated, dickhead comments aren't. This place has turned all elitist. This is the General forums....thought I could get away with a few simple questions with answers based on experiences, after having read through all these threads.
Speaking of which NeverendingXin, I read a lot of that thread yesterday but it seemed to give descriptions of what AOSP vs AOKP vs CM10 vs MIUI. Which I learned a lot from and I appreciate. But I was looking for more advice on specific ROMs. Anyone that could say "This ROM with this kernel has worked for me and I like it's speed" or whatever would do.
You want to find out what's stable and smooth?
Man up and make a backup of your current rom and flash away trying different roms. You'll likely end up getting different responses from different people and it isn't likely you'll have their same experience. Just find out for yourself. The guide the person above directed to you to was made to prevent threads asking what rom is stable or to use.

Well in that sense the best information I can give you is that for a touch wiz ics Rom I'd use synergy, I used that for a long time and it was always super stable and smooth for me. If your looking for aosp then I'd use either liquid smooth or slim bean I'm more familiar with liquid and it's really great, but I'm trying out slim bean and it's so far been good as well. I hope this helps

I'm from the Fascinate but I've also worked on the Vibrant.
* You don't have to worry about bml/mtd here. Which means you can flash basically everything without having to odin.
* You do have to worry about the locked bootloader. CASUAL can unlock it. Droidstyle has a sticky thread here on xda to help you with this and many other processes.
* There are excellent stock and AOSP-based ROMS. AOSP-based ROMS aren't quite 100% (but close) on RIL issues though.
*On verizon, radios are typically flashed separately and only in certain circumstances (odin package) included with ROMS.
* You DO have to worry about the IMEI issue. There are numerous threads about backing up this information and a Sticky thread with a tool for recovering it.
* If you are looking for a custom kernel check out Leankernel which is linked to in the signature of the poster above me. note that it's an AOSP kernel. Find the touchwiz version in the same forum.
Something else to bote about unlocking the bootloader, if you are going to use EZ Unlock from the market DON'T!!!! Go to root wiki and download version 1.2. For some reason 1.3 & 1.4 are wonky. The older versions are on the same thread as 1.4.
My vote for a ROM is Paranoid Android, I had some bug issues on Liquid Smooth but on PA I have had none thus far. I would reccomend flashing Paranoid Android version 2.5 instead of 2.51, there seems to be an issue for some users with the latest commits in 2.51 from what I read earlier today.
I'm sure you know how to back up you IMEI but just in case use the terminal method and the synergy flash method.
Just trying to cover most bases, I didn't know what you knew and didn't know.

The reason I asked is because stock on the S3 is as stable as you are going to get. The most stable custom Roms are going to be the ones based of stock TW and you can get them with some added tweaks. They are no more stable then stock as stock is stable as a *****. If you are getting force closes and lockups there is probably an issue with what you have installed.
Any AOSP rom will still have bugs and will be the least stable out of all the options. No matter how many people say Liquid or AOKP or CM10 or PA or MIUI is running great, they run no where near as stable and perfect as any TW rom.
If you want stability, go with a TW rom. read the different threads, mostly the last couple of pages of each which are usually about the latest release and you will know what is good and what is not.
This is what I am running and it does not get any more stable then this but then again stock was stable as ***** as well...

Thanks guys.... this is exactly what I was looking for. As far as backing up the IMEI, I've never had to do that. Not on the Vibrant or My HTC View....so I have some reading to do there. Any tips or links to threads on that would be appreciated.
And I did have to unlock the bootloader on the View, but it's not a process I know a lot about.... so reading to do there as well.
Thanks for the tips guys. Looks like I'm going back to do some more studying.

I did it this way and spend 2 weeks of hell. Don't recommend this, PLEASE.
Here's my own thoughts, as reliable as the butt dyno installed in my TSX:
CM10: depending on the build it was OK to "omg, I just rebooted why is this running so slow?" I tried this rom twice and gave up. I had installed a nightly from Friday which is what had serious issues. I'd reboot and within 15 minutes everything would be crawling.
ParanoidAndroid: I might accept this if I could opt to have a phone styled settings app. I see no way to get that, and I don't enjoy my settings app on my S3 using a tablet layout. Can this be changed?
AOKP: Wifi didn't work without a kernel, battery life ranged from amazing to terrible (no data on why, I didn't look at my wakelocks) and bluetooth didn't function right - it didn't auto connect to my car.
MIUI: Verdict is out, first flashed it yesterday. First thoughts are that it feels slightly slow, but that might be because I put the governor into dynamic mode. Battery life is looking about on par with paranoid
Liquidsmooth: didn't see any reason to use this over PA or CM, didn't feel much smoother to me (forgetting the nightly build I flashed of CM10, because that was just awful.)

The one on the marketplace worked fine for me? It always says "unknown" but it unlocks. What does LiquidSmooth change from CM10? They don't seem to have many builds.
Can the ParanoidAndroid settings app be made to have a phone layout for settings instead of the double paned layout? If yes, I might give Paranoid a second try.

Well the one in the marketplace may work fine for you but everyone else who has tried version 1.4 has posted so many messages because it didn't truly unlock their phone and gave them a soft brick. The reason it may work for you is because the dev finally fixed it. I just know that there have been numerous threads of people getting soft bricks from version 1.4.
As for Liquid, it is their spin off of CM10. There are a few notable differences but I honestly don't know how to describe them properly, you would just have to flash it and mess with it yourself.
I agree completely about CM10 being buggy as hell, I personally don't care for it but without it we wouldn't have half of the roms we do.
The upside to Liquid, PA, and some of the other offshoots is that the devs over them are busting their ass to get all the kinks worked out, and from my testing they are better than CM10 bug wise. Everyone's phone is different though and something that works for me will not work for someone else. For instance I can successfully over clock my phone to 2.1Ghz where a lot of people can go above 1.7 or 1.9 without losing stability.
As for you question about PA, I thought there was a setting to get rid of the double menu, but I just took a quick look and couldn't find it. I very well may have overlooked it though, as I said it was just a quick look. You could try googling it or asking in the PA thread and seeing if anyone can point you in the right direction.

Check the PA thread for the answer - go into PA settings, go to the app settings, find the settings app in there and hit reset. My guess is that it is a bug with the current version of the ROM.

I am going to jump on the band-waggon and try some rooting, I have not done this before so if I miss any information please dont yell LOL
Right Now I have a Fido (Canada) Nexus S i9020 4.1.2 jz054k baseband i9020auckj1 stock rom I guess people call it, the only thing I have done to my phone is unlock it, for another carrier thats it. I have read a lot of posts about rooting and everything, and with everything I have read I am getting so confused. Basically I am asking what would be the best rom and kernal? Basically what I want to do with my phone is just text, picture message, use it to actually make phone calls(weird aint it) lol, and sometimes I play games. With the update I got officially from Samsung OMG the phone is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow, and my battery doesnt even last a day. I dont use to many widgets, just one for my data counter and thats really it, I dont have to many apps installed, really only sports apps and task killer Voxer so I can have PTT with everyone I talk to. SO I dont do anything fancy, but with me loading nothing just starting my phone I only have about 50mb - 70mb ram free and my CPU is showing it is constantly at 100%, so basically I am wondering what should I upgrade to (rom and everything wise) and yes I have read the forums and everything but please if you could. give me instructions how I can load this to my phone. Thank you for your patients and reading this, looking forward to hearing from this awesome community, I also use WIFI and Bluetooth sometimes so those features need to be working, and the Camera on the phone..
Thank you so much
Slim is newest and overall the best:

R: [Q] Best Rom and How To PLEASE
hi!
I tell you that I have tried many rom, PA 2.54, jellyshot, PA 3.1, and now I'm using the 4.2.2 helly bean base cm. I advise you helly bean because it is the best ROM I've ever tried! battery life is a bit insane, so many features, fast (with helly bean kernel, no devil kernel), smoth. everything works!

In looking to flash a Rom too. Currently rooted and running a custom kernel so ready to go.
What do people think of jellyshot Rom?

The best rom is still MDO 4.1.2. The 4.2 roms are good at the beginning but then tend to lag a little bit too much.
For me slimbean or miui
I just got my s3 yesterday and this is my first samsung devices, but I'm not new to android. Now I know that I could do my own research, but I'm hoping for some advice/info from those willing to share. I'm already rooted with an unlocked boot loader, so now I'm looking for a ROM. What's your favorite ROM/kernel combination for speed and stability, if you're OC'd, what app do you use (i.e. kernel tuner), and what in particular do you like about that ROM?
Also, any general info about the s3 that I should know would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
please do a search and read through the threads. there are guides with impressions all over the place.
everyone needs something different out of their rom so there is nobody who can answer this question except for you.
make sure youre rooted, and your bootloader is unlocked.
these threads get closed frqeuently.

Instead of giving you the same run-of-the-mill find yourself answer here's my opinion. If you're into aosp ROMs liquid smooth, aokp and paranoid seem to be the best. Me personal e, I like TouchWiz just because they seem to have the least amount of bugs. Jelly beans, axis and hyperdrive have the most customizing options, but the general consensus for stability and performance is clean rom. Jelly beans is TouchWiz with an aosp look. But clean rom is definitely the most stable. As far as kernels go the big two are kt 747 and lean kernel. You can't really go wrong with either one. 747 has a higher overclocking rate and a application to tweak the settings provided with it. Leankernel is set straight out the box and use an aftermarket CPU Tweaker of your choice to tune it. Hope this helps.

1. These threads tend to get shut down a lot since a lot of new S3 users keep posting them.
2 . You are going to get either the "find it yourself " response or be recommended the popular ROMs which are Jelly Beans, Cleanrom, Liquid Smooth, AOKP, Carbon, Axis and Paranoid Android which is okay as long as it is what you want.
3. AOSP 4.2 ROMs don't have a strong signal strength like Touchwiz.
The reality is that there are a lot more ROMs then the standard fare that keeps getting recommended for both TW and AOSP. There is Plasma, Hellsrom, MDOB , Sons Of Android, Pure Google, Xtremeperia, and so much more that I can't think of them now. My question to you is what do you want in a ROM? The reason I asked this question is I find A LOT more helpful to make recommendations based on your interest rather randomly saying "[insert popular ROM here] is awesome!".

I agree with Shaftamle... I downloaded Hero's AxisM rls18 this morning and been using/playing with rom. It is beast. Hyperdrive is another good one. There is also Plasma VIII and Synergy, also very good. My best experience with kernels is lean kernel, but I am trying Zeus' newest version. Seems to be working well and good battery life.
I wish there was an update for Verizon's Wicked Sensations... I used v2.0-F for a long time and loved it.

I titled this thread incorrectly. It should have been what's your favorite ROM and why.
Thank you to those that responded, it was very informative.

Personally I've had my run of the mill with CleanROM releases, Synergy, and Liquid myself. Mostly using the stock kernal or K747. But I've been quite fond lately and been going back and forth on Sbreen's Hyperdrive releases dating back to RLS5. Granted his RLS10 may be a little premature with the manual MMS fix you have to do, its a little power hungry this time around, but definitely gives us a nice look and speedy feel from the upcoming S4. Currently running Hyperdrive RLS11 with his built Zeus kernal. :good:
I haven't got my gs3 yet but are aosp ROMs really that unstable? I love me some pacman on my epic 4g touch...

It's not that they're unstable, they aren't (most, anyway), but they don't fully support the GS3's hardware capabilities.

Everything i use for aosp works. It's as stable as touch wiz for me.
There are some issues as stated, but everyone uses their phones differently

I really like Carbon Rom 1.6.1. Only issue i'm having is picture messages not sending 100% of the time....kinda annoying
Ill use gmail, hybrid preferences in pacman ROMs, Nav bar, ability to change everything up, and with the gs3, NFC!
