Hello I was wondering what a good and stable Jelly Bean ROM with Touchwiz would be on T-Mobile? I need it because of the tethering app so I was just wondering what a good Touchwiz ROM would be that is stable.
Thank You!
While I am not sure about the tethering (as I personally do not use it), I have had great experiences with the WICKED rom. It is currently sitting at version 6 but I have had 4 for some time now with no issues. The dev seems to maintain a close eye on the thread and seems very active so I feel comfortable with his work. I may make the jump to 6 but am considering holding off until multi-window is added. Good luck.
Seriously???
Search the forums... every thread that has been opened asking this question has been closed. Search the dev section... read op's and feature lists... try them for yourself. Only u know what works best for u.

You can check out the SGH-T999 Galaxy S III Resource Bible for info about the ROMs. mt3g has spent a lot of time and effort putting it together to hopefully quash these type of threads from popping up.
I suggest you take a gander at it and then find one you like, read the OP, then read the last 10 pages or so for known bugs. If that is your brand of vodka, then you can read the thread from the beginning and probably solve any and all issues from there.
Thread Closed and moved to Q&A as this does not belong in General
It is very hard to find anything here. For example in SGS2 forum there are sections:
Galaxy S II General
Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Galaxy S II Accessories
Galaxy S II Original Android Development
Galaxy S II Android Development
It could be much easier to find anything if there will be sections:
User Guides / How to
Developer Guides / How to
Q&A
Accesories
CustomROMs
MODs
Themes
Thanks for the recommendation, you can also post suggestions here:

Everyone will have their own idea about what constitutes "messy" and what would work best, ultimately we have to decide based on the experience of the users and staff and developers and come up with a workable system that evolves over time.
I can see some merit in your suggestion, but realize that for some users the current system would be more agreeable.
Be that as it may, you can always make suggestions to the site in the thread I linked
Thanks for reply. I will write a post there.
No problem,
and keep in mind that just because your personal idea is not adopted, it is still taken into consideration and may be phased into the current system in some fashion, so don't get discouraged or feel ignored if the things you suggest are not necessarily put into action.

It doesnt help that a lot of people make new threads for a lot of the same things too
It would be great if phones had section manufacturer wise rather than have a huge photo for each phone.
For anything I need to urgently search I just search using Google. That throws the best result.

U seem to b new here
Categorisation has been done perfectly
Just spend more time and u will b used to it
And u missed "apps" in ur idea

I know that I missed it. It was only schema. I am here 1 year. Now I wanted to modify my ROM by myself and I found it pretty hard to find threads I saw earlier.
The forum supports a $hit ton of phones, can be bit hard to keep organized. The search feature shall be your friend...

^^^^^ This
Now that the T-Mobile SGS3 has 2 different variants, could we possibly make a SGH-T999 forum aside from all the other variants? I believe it might help with clutter and potential user issues because of flashing SGS3 LTE modems on non-LTE or T999V, etc devices.
Just a request.

I think you forgot about the main problem here, besides all the variants you mentioned
there are the all those AOKP/AOSP/CM and ported roms which already have their own
thread "T-Mobile S III Original Android Develoment" where these roms above belong.
Now about 50% of the "Tmobile Galaxy S III Android Development" thread is full of the AOKP/AOSP/CM
roms instead of only having the Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean 4.11/4.1.2 based stock or custom roms in it.
This causes a lot of confusion for many people in these threads and sometimes it's difficult to even tell which is which
unless the OP makes it very clear in his opening post stating that "This is a AOKP Rom" or even better letting people
know that "This is NOT a Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean based rom" so no one would flash it by error.
I think everything is as it should be to be honest. The 3 models of the T999, are virtually identical, and ROMS and Recoveries and kernels are pretty much compatible across the board. The only things thay should be avoided are modems and full firmwares.
As far as the CM and AOKP type ROMs in the development area, many probably do belong there. As far as I am aware tge original development forum is for anything built from source or from scratch.
Im betting most of the roms in question were simply modified in the exact same sense that the TouchWiz roms have been.
In the end its up to the mods, but I think for now the current layout is fine, and splitting it up even more woukd only cause more work and more problems. Id bet that everyone would still wind up right here for everything they need.
Thats just how I see it anyway.

I forgot to add that the problem (in my personal opinion) which I described is not exclusive to this this Tmobile
Galaxy T999 S3 forum, but the same problem also exists in the new Tmobile Galaxy M919 S4 forum too.
I am surprised that none of the moderators caught on to it yet. I know from experience that the moderators
here are not too kind about anyone starting new threads in the wrong location or forum...
Dont take them as being unkind. They are simply doing their job and enforcing the rules.
I have worked with some of them, and trust me, they can be some if the most helpful and knowledgeable people on here. There are very good reasons behind each one getting selected to become a mod. (And being an a$$ to folks is not one of the reasons).
That said, I did want to conceed one point. Though I do believe most of the threads in development do beling there, it does get cluttered pretty easily. For those who have been around for a while its probably not so bad, but to someone new to the forum, I can see how it could become difficult to find something that fits specific needs. I could see splitting that into two or three sub forums as helpful (one for stock based and one or two for CM and AOKP types). It could keep things a little cleaner that way.

I meant no disrespect to any of the moderators, but I've been caught making new threads where they didn't belong a couple times myself.
A long time ago when I first started here in xda I made a new thread in the Samsung AT&T Captivate forum and
I was promptly shown the exit door.
I hellraised/ported some rom successfully, tested it to be sure it worked properly then created a new thread in the same
forum as all the Samsung Touchwiz Captivate custom and stock roms were located and one of the moderators promptly
closed the thread as he should have.
At the time I did not think I done anything wrong and could not fully understand the reason why my thread was closed.
Now I see the reason and it's a very good reason, I just hope that one of these days soon there will be some kind
of segregation of the touchwiz custom roms and ported and aokp/aosp/cm roms in these xda forums and threads.
I really believe that about one third of all the issues, problems and errors a lot of new users here are having have
to do with flashing these cm/aokp/aosp roms not knowing that these roms don't come with all the features and the
bells and whistles which the touchwiz roms have, on top of that, issues which the the devs have yet to resolve.
Not to mention, especially here in the S3 Tmobile forum flashing those roms means no wifi calling at all.
Another example, have you ever seen or heard about an "error 7" which was not the result of someone
flashing one of those roms then trying to flash back to a Samsung Touchwiz rom?
New or fairly new users here when scrolling thru the Samsung touchwiz S3 custom roms thread are not aware of these things
and without really knowing what they are doing they end up flashing one of those roms thinking it's just another custom rom.
If those roms were in their own forums it would make everything here in xda go a lot smoother and easier not only for the new
users but for everyone else including the developers.

Regular development is NOT only Touchwiz ROMs. Original Development is only for ROMs where the actual poster is the developer that wrote 1000's of lines of code or part of the team that did. ALL AOSP, CM, AOKP, MIUI, PA clones go in regular development.
And to the OP as long as the ROMs are compatible and do not cause hard bricks then there is no reason for separate sections.

No wonder I started seeing a lot of roms that were posted in Original Android Development moved to Android development. It was kinda shock for me...
Only thing for people with the new T999L not flashing a T999 firmware, radio, odin. Is to make the threads known that is not for them.
And believe me we are going to see a lot of new threads people having problems. If they want to go back to odin stock or flashing the wrong firmware. Even if the threads are indicating that are not compatible they will still do it..... Half the people wont read and understand what their doing before doing it. They will only know that they have a Tmobile GS3 and that it.

You mean like all the CDMA users flashing international ROMs in spite of the capital letter warning in both sticky sections? This is a developers' forum and not a support site. We cannot idiot-proof every section or the whole site will be convoluted with hundreds of subforums in which most will still not read. Most sites only have one forum per device. This site is very well organized compared to those. Add an L onto another subsection and most will still not read. We have many devices on XDA that work just like this, compatible ROMs and they have to flash correct modem and firmware.

Completely 100% agree. We already hold the hand of these people more then needed. This isn't a support site where people come to ask for help, its a dev forum but no one treats it that way anymore. The forum is laid out very very well. I've been on many android sites and get fed up by the layout quickly, and lack of care for users and such.

Hey guys, so I've searched in q&a, general, and development and can't find a thread for this. my upgrade date is august, and I'm pretty sure I'm going with a note, either 2 or 3, so as a last hoorah with my gnex I'm going to root and flash a rom. i've done this to many devices before, but I'm wondering which rom is best, as far as liquid smoothness and speed are concerened. I cna't find a thread descussing this. Also, if you have a rom that you perfer, for whatever reasons, I'd love to hear it! Thanks in advance.

you know why you cant find a thread about a "best rom"?
1) you're terrible at search. there's a ton of them that are locked
2) they're locked cause they're not allowed.
3) go try some with features you want in the development thread for your device.
"Best ROM" threads are not allowed and are usually closed by mods. Although there is one that has slipped through the cracks and is still going surprisingly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636471
Read through that and see what people are saying. But basically, all ROMs are going to be pretty much the same.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
Hi, I am currently just joining the XDA forums but I've been lurking around here for a while now. and have found so many posts informative/helpful/funny.
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note II (T889) currently just upgraded to 4.3 which from reading from some of the post i see that it wasn't that good of an idea to do that so soon.
Even though the phone i own is the T-Mobile Note II. I do have it connected through At&t. and with the help of a combinations of Posts on the XDA forum i was able to get LTE.
As of right now I have not rooted my phone yet. Mainly because when i tried to do it before i lost signal completely and cost me some hours and a little bit of hastle to get it back to regular.
thought at least introduce myself. Hopefully in the future i get to learn some more before trying things out. and maybe one day create a ROM as i've seen there are some guides around.
HI abreu,
Welcome to XDA and SGH-T889 community!
As of you have already been through different forums you must have noticed that post which are not relevant to our phones or are duplicate get locked. There is an off-topic thread which covers almost any topic.
I am sure you will have a good learning experience here.
Welcome!
But, creating these threads are not really necessary, there are off topic areas for stuff like this..
