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.

Sorry in advance if this has been addressed, I have searched and found nothing. Is there a debloated, zip aligned, deoxed stock ROM available. I read the Stock ROM thread, but it appears (since the author was a little opaque) that this is a locked, unrooted, stock image, which is precisely what I am not looking for.
I have the Nexus 7 and thing JB is great but am fairly happy with the stock build on the S3, would just like to get the junk off it, and hopefully get better performance, better battery life.
Try this, but I don't think it's debloated much
I think this may be the ROM you're looking for

Could be doesnt understand the difference between odex and deodexe and the fact that cleanrom does give him what he wants unless he wants to theme it himself.

nosympathy, understand basics of odex vs deodexe, in the end chose your ROM simply because it was expedient. May play with CR next week, or wait for the TM JB ROM to get cleaned up.
Thanks for the response!
Note: Coming from VZW thunderbolt, which was rooted and running BAMF in the end (only ROM with outlook tasks native support). The complexity of rooting/unlocking/custom ROM installation has gotten far more complex. WTF is Odin???? LOL. Anyhow it is going to take some time for uses of different platforms to get up to speed on the new technology. Please be patient with us...
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'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.

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.
Hi, just bought a GS3 Verizon. I want it rooted, and working without well known bugs.(GPS, calling, almost no bugs) I prefer 4.1 jelly bean. What ROM should I choose? The ROM based on the leaked VZW ROM?

Stock deodexed j1 touchwiz...if you look around you can manually add what mods you want. I prefer this over flashing the custom touchwiz rom variants....seems less buggy and smoother imo.

I've been having good luck with Synegy's latest. Smooth, good performance, good battery, and just enough added functionality over stock to make it work well.
I liked clean rom, jellywiz, and my current rom tasteofbeans 3.1. They all were :good:

What about using separate mods makes it less buggy?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Because you flash them 1 at a time and if you flash one and it made everything bug out you can just nandroid back. If your on a ROM with a crap load of tweaks and mods and something goes wrong you're just screwed until the dev can figure out which mod he added is causing the problems. A lot of the time the mod bugs are left alone until all the big bugs are worked out and then they track down what's causing the smaller bugs

Read up. Pick what you like and give it a try. Everyone his different taste.
BTW, I prefer SlimBean. I've been using it as my dd since Slim2.7.

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.

Omega ROM
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:

That is I9003 rom and will hard brick the I535.
I'm very happy with Jelly Beans ROM... It is aosp themed but touch wiz based! Best of both worlds if anybody was looking for an aosp ROM check this out
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III running Jelly Beans Build 5
I was looking forward to the potential development on the S3 back when I pre-ordered, but wow this is too much. A new ROM everyday, existing ROMs updated as often, several kernels crossing carriers, mods covering everything, and so much more to come.
I don't know where to start. Not really looking for suggestions (but I will listen... ). I really just want to thank ALL the developers for all their hard work.

It's not too complicated, all roms fall into TouchWiz, Hybrid, or AOSP.
You can't go wrong with going with a TouchWiz rom based on 4.1.1 samsung's TouchWiz. Synergy is a popular rom with many features. CleanROM is a very good unbloated rom. I use CleanROM myself.
But before you do any of that you have to root it and then install the apps to unlock your bootloader and install a recovery tool. The recovery tool will allow you to flash new roms.
you seem to have done some research, heres another good guide to read if youre still in that phase.

good luck!
id recommend flashing an AOSP rom for a week, and then a TW JB rom for a week an decide which one is best for you. at the moment id recommend a 4.1.2 rom if you try AOSP. its much more stable than the 4.2 roms that are currently available
I guess I should have mentioned that I am rooted and unlocked, have been for about 3 weeks, but have not done a thing except TB, and AdAway. I just keep reading different ROM and kernel threads.
