stock pics rs are out there, but since the base is unofficial and 'leaked', they are all tweaked a little.
Soon the official pics update will be released and you will be able to just get the ota update.
Also, if you look in the development forum you'll see that there is an alpha release that is there, but it is very raw and in early development.
Hope hat helps,
Sean

Yes we will get stable AOSP 4.0, it's in the works.
you have to remember that all the ICS roms out now are leaks and unoffical releases. Once an offical build hits its a tweak and customize frenzy. Thats when you get somethng stable. these roms are just "test" for a more stable rom. Ive seen android 2.1 go through hundreds of different leaks before a stable build hits
I just can't wait for stock ICS! it was great on my nexus s so I know it gonna be a best on this!
They are still in nightly mode. I would suspect a release candidate by the end of the month, with the ota coming in late April.

I am still on Caulkin GB Rom, and it is starting to become unstable after 4 months. I decided this is the perfect time to jump ship to ICS.
I want to install a Vanilla ICS Rom, like the one on Galaxy Nexus. Dialer,calendar the whole nine yards. Is there such a thing? I am not too big into the themed roms that are here for download.
I have searched but the only thread I found was back from April and It said they couldn't do it because the source wasn't released yet. But now I know that not to be the truth anymore.
Thank you.

So far there isn't a vanilla ICS ROM. But there is a Vanilla JB ROM that's available for download. Keep in kind it still has some bugs but they're being worked on.

aokp or cm9 are pretty close to what you're looking for, if you want something like a stock nexus you're looking for an AOSP based rom, which those both are... also I know lickarock was working on compiling a pure vanilla AOSP rom, not sure where that stands, you may want to search for his thread in general about it.... lastly scarmon, what is this vanilla jb rom you speak of? I don't recall seeing anything in the dev section about it! My phone is currently wayyy to stable and well set up, its boring, I need to flash something stupid like a half working jb rom to fix that!
Edit: never mind scarmon, found the thread in general, too wet here to golf this weekend, looks like I found a project

Does anyone know if there is a newer ICS based AOKP out there that is newer than the July 15 version listed here?

I flashed Build 2, 3 and 4 of JB AOKP and my friend's Hercules has had nothing but SOD problems and he's really missing some of the features the ICS AOKP had. He's given up and wants to go back to ICS AOKP.
I just want to make sure I give him the latest version possible. I don't have this particular phone so I don't spend time browsing this phone's subforums.
Thanks!

Milestone 6 is the final version of AOKP, so it's the most up to date in ICS.
On a related note, if you find a download of it, can you PM me a link? I can't find any live links :/

Hello,
I have the VZW GS3 which has a million ROM's, sadly this doesn't seem to be the case here on the sprint phone.l
The most important thing is that everything works , thats it.
Are there any good stable ROM's out there without any built in themes?
Does anyone make TW ROM's? I havnt seen any on here
Lastly, what does LG8 mean?
The stock room is very stable imo. I have tried custom rooms on my evo in the past but have not felt the need here yet.
LG8 is the build number of the stock Rom that was the latest into a few weeks ago. The current release is LI3.

So your girlfriend has Sprint?
LG8 is the firmware version. This version is old. The latest official release is LI3. There are leaked firmware versions up to LIH now. This is Samsung's way to identify when the firmware versions were made. L=2012 I=September, 3=3rd. It goes up to 9 before it goes into letters to represent 10th day and higher.
As for Roms, there are quite a few tw roms available. Check out the android development section. There you will find both ice cream sandwich roms as well as the jelly bean leaks. I'm running jelly bomb domination jelly bean Rom. It's perfect!!!! Great battery life, no issues at all, and its fully themed.
If you want ICS I'd recommend team sonic free gs3 Rom.

Blazer rom jelly Bean V1.9 is the most stable and zero lag on bluetooth stream. update to LIH n u are good.

Most of the roms in the dev forum are touchwiz roms. Almost all of these are stable, even jellybomb (based of leaked jellybean rom) is stable. I've had 0 issues so far, and it feels faster. Sonic, blazer, and many others are stable as well. I like jellybomb though. Most of the bugs will be in the AOSP roms (or miui). These were built from the ground up without Samsungs work. They'll be in the original development mostly.
I've been running blazer for weeks now, on the ics 1.9 version currently and no issues what-so-ever.

Thanks guys!!
I appreciate you guys clearing it up for me. I have not been on XDA for a while and didn't see there are two separate Dev sections now. I was only looking at one of them.
I just have a question regarding Jelly Bean. I run the VZW version myself and we have some major data issues when we run AOSP JB, like data drops, not connecting despite showing full bars etc. Is this an issue at all on the Sprint version ? Are there any issues related to JB?

I thought the best TWiz ROM was Team Sonic FreeGS3 and ran that for the longest until i stumbled upon Blackbean ROM, which is a Jelly Bean ROM, and haven't gone back to TWiz ever since.
The TW JB LIH leak is very nice, very stable, and used by many as a daily driver.

Well, quite a few people have had data issues, mostly concerning the 3g/4g handoff, but I wouldn't say its MAJOR like you make it sound on VZW. I personally like TouchWiz Jellybean.

All the JB ROM's I've tried have caused a noticeable hit on battery life for me. I need my phone to last 10 hours reliably, and after every JB ROM I've tried, I was down below 20% after 10 hours, and that's not acceptable. What's your battery life on Blackbean like?
With FreeGS, I am usually around 60-70% after 10 hours, depending on usage.
Can anyone give me input on data quality on Blackbean and FreeS3 ROMs? I know its an odd question but my ROM's data isn't what it should be. I'm just wondering if this the case with most JB ROMs.

if you root your girlfriend's phone, be prepared to play constant IT guy when the slightest thing doesn't work perfectly. you will wind up managing two phones and it is not very fun when things go wrong...

I'll agree. I rooted a couple of Nook Colors at work and when the slightest thing went wrong I'd have to take it home and flash it or update it or something. I guess rooting is best kept to one's self.

Haha it is technically my ex-gf.
I am only doing her S3 because I did this for her Evo 4g and she didn't complain once.
Hi guys,
So its been awhile since I've browsed these forums so sorry to bug you about this but we're giving my wife's s3 to the mother in law. I've had it rooted and running tasks aokp since day 1. Its on an older possibly 4.1 version?
Anyway I want her to have a stable reliable experience with her first smart phone so I would like recommendations on which ROMs to look at. Leaning towards tw for her sake so its not to crazy like aokp etc... Thanks

I would suggest dandroid or s3rx. Dandroid is based from s3rx just aosp themed and heavily debloated. You may have to search a little bit for 4.1.2 of those but they are the most stable for me. Btw they both are stable on 4.3. Been running them as my daily driver for months and I used dandroid before on 4.1.2 which was also very reliable. S3rx for 4.1.2 gives you more of a choice in whats in it with aroma so that may work better for you.
I'm fine updating no sense in staying at 4.1 I was just stating that.. Thanks will look into those
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
i747z is a good ROM if you can find the 4.1.2 version - the 4.3 version is buggy, and the developer isn't much help for fixing it.
XDA does not allow best rom threads because in short there is no best rom.
