Just switched from ios to droid

Hey everybody I just switched to DROID from using ios the past 4 years and I'm really happy with my choice. The iPhone 5 was the last straw for me so instead I picked up a feature packed galaxy siii. I want to thank you guys for the tutorials you guys have posted as it really helped in understanding how to flash the custom roms. I have my siii set just how I want. I just have one question if someone doesn't mind answering. When the official jellybean update comes out will I need to revert back to stock rom to update or can I update ota on a custom rom? Please excuse me if I didn't post this in the right section. This is my first post. Thanks for all your hard work.

I believe you would have to revert to stock and then do the ota.

Just wait for one of the Devs to do their magic on Jelly bean when it comes out. I'm sure it wont take them to long to do.

Congrats! Btw, if you're already running a custom rom, then you should probably just wait until the developer updates it, or install a new JellyBean rom when you're ready.

Take it easy on me lol

It kinda depends on how long you are willing to wait for the update. You definitely won't be able to accept the OTA update if you are running a custom rom, but devs will have a flashable version on XDA available almost immediately after the official is released. A couple of days later custom roms will start appearing.
Another reason to wait is there is always the possibility that the update will in some way disable root. This has happened before with several VRZ phones. So I would wait(a couple of hrs) till XDA gets their hands on the update before making any moves.

wait for a dev to release the official TouchWiz JB, then wipe data from cwm recovery and flash away. Fyi there currently is a TouchWiz JB leak by Incubus in the dev section, but its has bugs...If your looking for stability; Touchwiz ICS>AOSP(paranoidandroid,aokp,cm10)>Touchwiz JB Leak

And to help you, Synergy is a very stable ICS touchwiz ROM. Paranoid is a very great ROM but it might be a bit confusing for you since you're new with the tablet mod n tweaking APKs and such. CM10 is good but I like AOKP better for the customization

Nitro dont release builds based on a leaks...so until we get a official Touchwiz JB rom from VZW I doubt he will release anything!

Welcome to the Android community!
There are lots of good ROM choices and Jelly bean is available as a teaser if you'd like to check it out
My favorite ICS ROM is Synergy
My favorite JB ROM is Jellywiz
Enjoy and happy flashing !!!

You can make a nandroid backup of your current setup which saves everything, all your data/games. and try one of the current JB roms. I am currently on ICS cleanrom, and been thinking about waiting for a 100% working one to come around. The nandroid backup is so you can easily go back to your old setup if you don't like the newer rom.

He's working on an aosp JB build, has a working alpha right now, but until he gets his device this week, he can't work out the bugs quickly. You will see eclipse...I'm guessing pretty quickly after he gets his phone
He will have a TW Rom out...but I'm sure he will wait for the official JB build for that.

I second that!! Cleanrom is a GREAT first rom and it gives you a chance to mess with overclocking a lil too... Just go in SMALL steps... Although mine is a champ at 1.99ghz & stable as hell! You will finally feel the freedom that you get with Android! OPEN SOURCE baby!! No more damn itunes and buying stuff that isn't really yours..? :laugh: Have a GREAT time surfing the threads but just take some time to read the rules as well cause they are quick to break you off some!

If you feel anyone is missing let me know

This is the initial Grouper release. Please let me know what issues you find. I am aware of a few force closes at boot up however everything seems to be running fine. I'll work to clean up those issues as we go.

Thanks, looks good! Will give it a whirl :cyclops:

I think this is also good.

Running great so far very fast and responsive

Thanks again. Hope you bring many updates

Glad to see more vanir ROMs popping up. But just wondering, what features does this ROM have over regular vanir? Vanir has most, if not all, of aokp's features thanks to Primes porting ability.

Vanir has some AOKP features however it is a little heavier on the CM side. This is strictly AOKP with the few exceptions mentioned.

Great more vanir ROMs
Thank you for this ROM.
Currently on PrimeD's ROM.
Will surely give this a try.

Verizon S3 4.2.2

I was wondering if anyone knew of a ROM that is 4.2.2 and is just the basics, I tried Liquid Smooth 2.1 but I hated all the settings that you can change. Anyone that could point me in the right direction please do so.
Thanks!

I still think cm10.1 would be the best bet. Its got some settings but they're just handy, stuff like toggles. Plus 10.1 is Gina have recent fixes and such. And honestly I think he official nightlies are your best bet.

Give Slim Rom build 3 a try. It's really nice and smooth and PURE AOSP. I really liked how smooth and stable it was, I just missed all the touchwiz features so I didn't end up keeping it. Was a very nice ROM though. Give it a shot.
It's very nice if your looking for vanilla Android.

Yeah sorry the predictive texting on swiftkey is overkill sometimes. Lol. The Slim Rom doesn't have any touchwiz features at all. It's pure AOSP. If you want a good touchwiz based Rom try jelly beans. I have also heard that Synergy and clean Rom are some of the nest touchwiz based Roms out there, though i haven't tried them.

I would recommend to use the official ROM. CM 10 can have many bugs.

CM 10.1 or Carbon, carbon has a little more features

Slim Rom is not even close to pure AOSP. There are innumerable features added, which is why I love it.
There's one pure AOSP ROM, and it's maintained by Joelz. Hadn't been updated since mid January, but is supposedly about to be soon.
But I agree, the OP should go with CM10.1.

You could try out Rastakat. There are updates every so often, but not to the point where you'll be flashing something every week.

Of course Slimkat updates stable once a month so it's not that frequent. And they are stable so you only update if you want try the new features

These r the issues now days
Thank you so much brother for replying... Stay Blessed

You lose some of the stock features like quick memo and slide aside, but I think it's worth it for the improved UI (cleaner/less cluttered) and performance. Double tap to wake and sleep still works. Cm also has better themes that can change boot animation, on screen buttons, etc.

Yeah, you need to use gapps that match the Android version of the ROM. I suggest 5.1 open gapps. I can't post links yet. You can find the open gapps by searching for CyanogenMod gapps.

Any special requirement needs to be taken care off before flashing this CM ROM?
I've seen many people reported issue when coming from other versions of ROM or other ROMs.
custom recovery version? bootload version? bootcode or whatever it might be?
