Search is broken for the moment, so I'm going to break protocol and ask a noob question which is not only painfully subjective, but has been asked a million times.
I'm currently running Cyanogen 10, and it has its quirks, like it won't pair with my car, I have to turn BT off, then on to get it to recognize. Small matter of using a toggle widget, but stuff like that.
So, in your opinion, which has the best stability and battery life. That's what I'm looking for. Stability first, then other stuff. Jelly bean or not, etc.OR, the best way to get it back to a rooted original rom.
Thanks!

I keep coming back to Synergy 1.7, the last version before it went to nightly updates. Everything works, battery lasts a little longer than stock thanks to some de-bloating. I've tried CleanROM too and the kernel kept overclocking itself to 1.99 Ghz, which kept running my battery down and making my phone overheat. I haven't tried (and don't intend to) CleanROM 2.5, which I think uses the stock Samsung kernel from the most recent OTA update.
Wrong place to post. But to answer your question, most, if not all TouchWiz roms are the best for stability. AOSP roms still have their quirks so if you want stability, choose a TouchWiz rom. I prefer a TouchWiz rom by Scott aka scrosler. But other TouchWiz rom developers such as Team Synergy make very good and stable roms too.

Agreed, although AOSP is not far off from being right there with Touchwiz far as stability goes! I would say the only thing holding it back is the RIL issues...
I'm currently running CleanRom 2.5, and thus far it has been awesome for stability, speed, and battery life. Highly recommended.

As others said any ICS touchwiz is gonna be the most stable. To get back to rooted stock flash route66 with Odin.

CleanROM has given me 0 issues and excellent battery life though I'd imagine other Touchwiz based ROMs aren't too far behind.
AOSP ROMS are mostly stable except for RIL. If you live in an area that has fringe coverage or cycles between 3g/4g AOSP isn't for you yet. If you have 4g 100% of the time then there's nothing holding you back.
Oh, and questions go in the Q&A section. Development is for ROM/kernel/utility releases.

I made a thread like this earlier.
Ended up using AOKP + KT747 and everything seems to work. I haven't tried bluetooth or NFC yet but everything seems fine. The battery isn't the greatest but you should be able to go a day with it and if you have the fast charge enabled then you should be all good. A little underclocking and using smartassv2/sio seems to have made my battery go a little longer and still hella smooth.
I have found. Incubus26jc JellyWiz to be pretty stable. No major problems. I'm running ver 8 (not custom). It's a Jelly Bean hybrid obviously from the name. I can't go back to ICS after using Jelly Bean. I CAN'T, I WON'T!

Hey guys.
Currently, I am running CM10 on my verizon SIII and so far a love it! No complaints for me.
I am getting bored of it though, like anyone else would get who loves their phone, and am looking to change to something else!
Please let me know which ROM you are running, and the Pros and Cons of the ROM!
I am very interested to know, THANKS!!!
I'm currently running PACman. It has the best of CM10, AOKP, and ParanoidAndroid all mushed together. It's only the first build for our device so it has a few rough spots to iron out, but so far it hasn't proven to be any less stable than CM10. I personally can't stand TW so if you're looking for something a little bit different in the AOSP realm, give PACman a try.

Just moved to Synergy JB r125 last night from ICS r73. So far so good
I didn't really like TW while on ICS, so I used Apex Launcher, but am giving TW a shot on JB this time.
I just want a stable ROM, not interested in changing it daily or weekly or even monthly. I only upgrade when the positives outweigh the negatives.
Feels like at least one thing I use is broken in every ROM I've tried so far. Right now running Galaxy Mod, but can't get wifi tether app to work -- even though it's worked fine on just about every other ROM I've used.
Hate stock, but tempted to go back to it.
I'm on the latest Synergy but I tried Pacman rom also. The keyboard kept force closing on me no matter what I did.
Synergy is smooth as hell though.

Have you used treve's version in the apps and themes section?
I use tethering exclusively and have had no issues running the WiFi hotspot toggle that comes with galaxymod.
I don't know if its a different toggle than what the kindacrapmods install on the phone but it works well also.

I was on CM 10 and it was okay. I did miss having some of the touch wiz features like the motion settings and keeping the screen on while your looking at it. I just recently installed the [Rom] Jelly 'Beans' - Build 5 [11/27/12][Aroma][Fully Customizable][I535VRBLK1] with the Aroma installer and I have to say it is far superior to CM 10 it brought back the features i loved about touch wiz and let me choose not to install bloat ware. I was also able to OC in rom toolbox to 1900mhz which i couldnt do in stock CM 10.

Baked BlackBean. It's AOSP, smooth, stable, reliable, and black.
im running the PacMan rom
so far so bueno, nand'n back to SlimRom in a minute. the only reliable AOSP out there.
but my all time fave to date is Taste of Beans...all around best performance by far
Beans B5. I like TW features, stability, its plenty fast for me and its themed to look like AOSP.
Lol this thread is going to be locked up by a mod soon...
Baked Black Bean v6. It's fast, stable, had good features, and it's blacked out.

Why would it be locked up??
I used to have a Moto Droid 1 (OG Droid) and the messaging app it came with was able to have group messages, where everyones reply would be in the same thread. It annoys me that it is not the case on my S3.
Does anyone know any app i could get that is good with group convos???
or a ROM that would change that
I've been wanting to give an aosp based Rom a try onthis phone. My main concern is stability and battery life. I know battery life is more of a kernel issue so I will address that later on. I've noticed some roms in original developement don't even specify which android version there based on, but which is currently most stable and 4.2? I need lte calls/sms/mms and camera to be working.
I'm basically looking for what has the LEAST issues. Has any developers gotten past the screen tearing yet?
And I know there are probably 100 of these threads, but none are current
the official cm10.1 by h8rift will usually be the most stable, as a lot of the other ones are based on that (i think). you should basically look for the most recently updated one. that'll have the newest features and latest bugfixes.
you can't go wrong with a bpear ROM, that guy is awesome and has released some of my favorite ROMs for this phone. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212825
he always updates them quickly and squashes all major bugs. that one is new so it may have some bugs, but i'm sure they won't be there for long. then once he fixes them, you won't have to delete everything and clean wipe and all that, you'll just have to flash over it with the new one.
bugs vary from phone to phone, so the only real way to figure out what you like is to flash them and check
they are all pretty stable other then known issues. screen tearing is a general issue with 4.2.x roms that use cm10.1 as a base. i would say try liquidsmooth, aokp, or carbon bpear96 aosp build.
Running liquidsmooth Stable and its great. Using it as a daily driver.

Running official 10.1 nightly with vz oc linaro kernel and disable HW overlays on I get ZERO tearing. I put it at standard clock speeds to and its great and very stable. Only time it freezes is every once in a great while after a phone call. Other than that I'm extremely happy.

my personal experience
the most stable tend to be the ones that are more popular/bigger like CM 10.1, AOKP, etc.. at least in my experience. Though I personally love jellybam. I highly recommend it especially if you're a person who loves great audio. Though the only kernel that would work it is Rohan's beta as far as I know
There is no "most stable" ROM. Everyone uses their phone differently, and your mileage can and will vary. Same thing with battery life (and probably has as much, if not more to do with other factors, such as your geographic location and radio).
Its easy to look through the ROM threads to see what specific issues people have, known bugs, etc. Aside from that, just pick some that look like they fill your needs/preferences and try them out.
Since every device handles software a little differently, you need to try it out for yourself and see if you like it. Thats the beauty of XDA, you get to try it out yourself and see if YOU like it.
So since everyone has different options, Im going to close this before it becomes a BEST ROM THREAD... and we dont allow those.
I've been jumping back and forth between ParanoidAndroid and CarbonROM, and I'm actually about to give Cyanogenmod a try for the first time.
Carbon has a ton of great customization but I have gotten a few crazy screen flicker issues and reboots on the nightlies. Notta's version of PA is damn near perfect but I have an issue when streaming audio via bluetooth. I get a nasty static sound with high notes, if this could be fixed my decision would be made, and hopefully Ayysir will be fixing this in his builds.
Anyway, which ROM have you guys had the best luck with?

Your thread will likely be closed as someone already have this kind of thread. It is pretty active it is the "which ROM are you running" thread.
Depends
If you prefer Touchwiz - NOTHING beats CleanRom. The latest (seven), is the best, smoothest, most consistent rom I've ever run.
If you prefer AOSP - I'm gonna have to go with SlimRom. Really fantastic, smooth, and widely configurable.

I'm gonna have to respectively disagree. While clean ROM is a fantastic ROM, bonestock ROM is just as stable and offers sooo many options. Plus is extremely stable. I suggest the OP give both a look. Since the op is use to aosp, bonestock offers more customization like aosp but with TW. MOAR ROM is a great rom too.

There is a saying "to each his own" that applies to roms as not everyone has the same experience or taste in a rom. All the op is asking is what rom that you have the most luck with. He is not asking for suggestions.
As soon as one of these posts get taken down, another one pops up. Gee wiz.

There is no best rom just find something that meets your standards and run with it. This thread is going to be closed.
I'm on Gummy Nightly 4.4.2 and I'm looking for something more stable. Life is a bit hectic right now so I'm not able to constantly flash a new rom.
What has been the best 4.4.2 rom that you've had the most success with?
to each there own .
moderators dont like these types of threads cuz they cause arguments
Beanstalk and Liquidsmooth! Waiting for the Pac-Man release!
If life is to hectic to find a rom I suggest stock.

All you are going to get is people's limited opinions. Plus, if someone has only used 1 or 2 different ROMs - vs ALL of the ones available - they really can't comment

I meant to say "stable" I just want a rom where the basic functions like Camera work and I'm able to use instagram etc without it crashing. Gummy is fine, but not being able to use the camera is a big thing. I would like a multi-window feature that Hyperdrive has, but I'd like to stay at 4.4.2.
Also, no I will never go back to stock. As for those who have used one or two different roms their opinions are still valid. They can say whether it was stable or not.

A ROM with a non-functioning camera would never even get consideration from me ! Same applies to ROMs with no working data. Does the Gummy thread tell you the camera doesn't work ? I'd hope so !!
For what it's worth, I've tried the following KK ROMs (with my opinion/comments):
Beanstalk (Gideon's build) - good ROM, no complaints that I can recall.
Omni (Gideon's build) - too plain or simple (or boring) for me. Didn't have a few features that I've grown to like (I blame PAC for that !!). It was stable though.
LiquidSmooth (both the LS team version and Gideon's) - my preferred ROM at the moment. Runs fine, everything works, and has many of the features I like. Between two builds a week and a half apart, I see add'l things added too.
ParanoidAndroid (notta's build) - can't recall any details at the moment.
I suggest trying ParanoidAndroid 4.0 BETA. Yes, it is a beta but it is very stable. I have been using it since Notta switched to 4.4.x. The are still working out small bugs (like every other KK ROM), but like I said, it's very stable.
It does not have multi-window. For that I suggest Omni ROM. I've been using that on my ASUS TF300T and it works awesome!
As evident by some above commentary, XDA is not a support site and users are expected to test all Roms to make their own, independent, determinations as to what is stable for them.
Thread closed.
