OK people !
I Got My Samsung When It Came Out, I Rooted it and Activated It The Next Day.... I Am Now Tired of The Stock ROM I Have and Wanted You Guys To Point Me In The Right Direction of Some Cool Looking ROMs. If You Guys Could Post Me Some Links, I Would Greatly Appreciate It.!
Thank You!
Not to be rude or anything but all one has to do is look at some of the popular ROMs in the development sections to get a pretty good idea. The popular ones tend to always be near the top, provide great documentation and support, and provide pictures and videos to get you a great idea of the experience. Just spend 30 minutes looking over the various options, and flash a few to see which one you want to stick with. Flashing ROMs is so easy nowadays that it really is just a matter of how much time you are willing to spend playing around with them. I'm waiting for Jellybean ROMs before I really make the jump and satisfied with the performance of stock (with Nova launcher) until those JB ROMs become pretty stable and can be used everyday.
You really can't go wrong with any rom currently out. I've tried them all out and they won't disappoint. I'm currently running Freeza's rom and though it's touchwiz based, he really changed it up.

Hey thanks for the recommendations. I just got the phone yesterday and so far im enjoying the stock experience and yes im even enjoying touch wiz. Which of these roms offer the best battery life? That's what I'm looking for currently on the touch wiz rom.

For me they have all basically been the same in regards to battery life. At a minimum I can pull 16 hrs on battery with 4+ hrs of screen on time with each rom. I'm not really into playing games on my phone so that helps. However, battery life is really user dependent because we all use/set up our devices differently...so what may end up being good for me may not be the best battery life for someone else. Definitely give each one a try though and see which works best for you
I'm definitely going to try them all, but god damn are all TW roms almost 1gb in size? I thought sense roms with big @ half the size.

Not all of them but if they're full of addons, such as FreeGS3 by Clark, then it can get big. Freeza's rom is probably the smallest coming in at about 498MB

Devs should start making Bare Bone versions.Just out of Blazer 1.7 i removed over 40 uneded apk files!That slimed the rom by almost 200mb,but its still too large when cm is only 200mb.

If you want to get into AOSP roms, CM10 is running pretty smooth even though it's still in preview builds. Nav bar mods and inverted gapps look really good as well.

No offense but a question like that is not going to get u an answer.. word has it all 4 main tw roms are basically running the same mods and it comes down to looks right now.. plus it kinda depends on your own set up..

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've seen a few people post that FreeGS3 is noticeably smoother and less laggy than Blazer. Not knocking Blazer since it may have some other features that people prefer.
For my previous phone (EVO 3D), I tried several Sense ROMs and there was a significance difference in performance among them. Is it such a stretch to assume that a similar variance would be present in custom TW ROMs?

Well I wouldn't know as I've only tried stock, freeza's fre3 and blue odex since coming over from the og epic.. I guess my "word has it" comment came from reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29890564 <-- that
I guess my point is obviously people like all these roms, or they prob wouldn't always be the top four threads all day long...
It really depends on your own preferences as they all appear to be stable and running well..
Again my advice, pick one and flash it.. if u feel like trying something else then try that too.. If somethIng goes wrong restore your backvup.. again.. the beauty of xda.

I get your point but the beauty of XDA is also in the ability to solicit opinions to make an informed decision. I don't think my question was that out of line. It's not as open ended as simply asking what the "best" ROM is.

Hey guys as I am almost done with this Rom, before I finish and release i would like to know what you guys want to see in it? The DARKSIDE really cares about user feedback its the only way development gets better. Let me know. Which launcher do you want to use, ADW (stock in cm7), Launcher2 (AOSP,and my favorite), or Touchwiz (SGS2 stock). Did you want some stock apps sammy included because you have grown to use it. Like I said let me know, but know just cause you ask doesn't mean I will deliver, I also gotta look at what's best for the rom. Thanks again. Lets turn this development section around and bring it back.
Welcome to the DARKSIDE!!!

I personally do not like the adw launcher like on CM7. I prefer stock or TW. I have grown accustomed to these two and are the smoothest I have used. Adw has cool features, but I would like this phone as close to stock as possible. If people want adw it's in the market. Or you can add a flashable zip for each?
Either way do what you have to, to make this ROM the best possible and smooth and I am happy.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

Hello, you seem new to this. The difference between CM7 and Juggernaut, BeastMOD, Domination, Bombardier, and Android Zombie (AKA TouchWIZ ROMs, I like to call them Touch****) ... the difference is that CM7 is made from the stock gingerbread builds, and then the kernels/System files are ported to the device. TouchWIZ on the other hand is full of bloat, which makes it run slow, and isn't as tweaked and optimized as CM7. CM7 would always be far better than Touch****.
Safe Flashing!

Before you make a stupid mistake like others, please don't flash a Samsung Galaxy S II ROM, make sure it's a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II, they have different processors. Touch, a lot of different things.
What ROM/kernel combinations do you prefer and why? Vote and reply insight on your ROM.
Feel free to include battery life, performance, customization, etc
Big thanks to all the developers. This is opinion-based and only meant for informational purposes.
Please NO FLAMING ROMS OR DEVELOPERS. They do this for free, so keep that in mind.
Thanks

I ran CM !0 for a few days but I used a Mac and MTP doesn't work so its a bit of a deal breaker for me, but in all fairness its Extremely stable to be an Alpha build. My first android phone was the G1 and then on to the Nexus One so i'm a sucker for AOSP based android roms and for Cyanogen Mod in general so ill be running it when the MTP gets sorted out on my Mac.
I tried Wanams rom, I remember him from my SGS2, Hes a great Dev & its really stable as well.
The best all around so far for me is AndroidUser00110001's Rom linked below. I've found the wifi disconnect problem that i was having with the other TW Roms is gone and it has had the best over all balance of performance and stability.

When it comes to battery life there literally is none better, he did a fantastic job with his ROM. It takes a performance hit at times but its to be expected.

Definitely AOKP. Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean versions are awesome. I've yet to find any bugs that keep it from being a daily driver. In fact I've found none. But I haven't used it that in depth much, we shall see.
But I put my vote in for AOKP. By far the best, and I only flash for AOSP based ROMs anyways. :good:
AOKP JellyBean and ktoonsez JB kernel. Those guys rock. Never seen a preview work so well, looking to see what's to come.

AOSP roms are stock cm9 and cm10... Sense and stuff would be nice, and there was a team working on it in the sprint section and they just died out, MIUI is reported to be in the works still... and don't call the themes people give you as an option "ugly" cause they work hard to get you something to flash, it isn't cool of you to just call them ugly and terrible lol.
We don't NEED roms! Fortunately our phone works very well on stock rom. I am all for custom roms and can't wait for miui and hopefully a sense Rom. Our phone is brand new just give it some time.
I also agree it's bad taste to call peoples work ugly. You don't like the themes don't flash em. Me personally I live the wicked red theme. Because I can't dev I can't make roms and what not so I am extra appreciative. Its not like people are getting paid to do it

Hey now, you can still be grateful and still have an opinion. For example, I appreciate the work put in on the Intrigue Rom, but I still find the icons to be in bad taste (some icons aren't meant to be blue IMO). That's just my opinion.

I think we need more variety, most of our ROMS are just tweaked stock ROMS with ugly, terrible themes. Everything else is CM10 or CM9 stuff. It would be nice to see some MIUI, Sense, FlymeOS or even just completely stock AOSP roms.

I'm working on rebasing (again) with the new update. Now is the time to tell me what you want and don't want themed.

Have you tried the miui home launcher? It's cool and all but I noticed too much lag. I also like to use launchers ontop of miui to complete what ever theme I am using at the time

Yeah I've used launcher and noticed a lot of lag too. But my friend has an international gs3 and has miui on it and its pretty smooth. I just hope its the same on our device.
This is my first time flashing a ROM on my (Sprint) S3 and I'm trying to decide between Wicked Sensations and AOKP Jellybean.
If anyone has tried out both of these ROMs, I have 2 questions.
1. Which runs faster/smoother?
2. Which has better battery life?
Thanks for any help.
best roms
Jellybomb 4.0 or wicked sensations

definitely Jellybomb, the best and most themed ROM. Has a plethora of features, battery life pretty good on v4.
message brought to u by my JellyBombed GalaxyS3
Alright. I'll check out the Jellybomb ROM.
Thanks
Try each of them out. Each rom is going to offer you a different experience. Just remember to do backup and follow install instructions. I myself would rather try different experiences instead of just asking which is better. Have some fun with your device and see what all is out there.
Don't try mine.. it sucks

Where do you go to look for different roms that you are deciding between? Any suggestions?
I have tried just about all of them. I watched qbking77 on you tube first.odexed blue and wicked sensations was pretty much a tie. Cm10 has been my favorite jellybean.

What's the difference between CM10 and roms? Noob question I know but I'm new to this
Jellybomb
While the other guys are right that each Rom has something different offer, I highly recommend Jellybomb. He is always updating and answers questions. Some Roms get put up and then you rarely hear back if you have a prob. Honestly, it is a matter of opinion though. I tried several out for myself before finding Jellybomb. I personally did not like CM10 at all.

Id have to say JellyBomb And StrongSteve's odexed blue are the best. I also agree that CM10 isnt that great. I mean it runs amazing and all that but the gut the rom and remove all touchwiz features and all that which IMO is a waste since toucwiz does have some very good features that I use all the time. I dont see why someone would buy a phone and then put a rom on there that strips it down to the bare minimum. Also like others have said though you really need to try them out yourself and see which one you like. Another thing to keep in mind is a lot of these screenshots dont do the roms justice. You need to see them on the SuperAmoled to really appreciate it.

That would be in the development forum...read the OP and a few pages of the last pages of the ROM thread to see if there are issues.
JellyBomb fan and MIUI right now, is getting stable thanks to chair face but Josh beach from JellyBomb is pretty good and he's always working on it
MIUI Jellybean 2.8.31 B2

FTFY
CM10 isn't that great for you personally .
CM doesn't 'gut' anything, it's built from source, it's just a different experience, one that some find fantastic. Since ICS Google has really stepped up their game, it still needs a bit more setup out of the box, but it isn't nearly as daunting as it was in earlier versions. Back in the Eclair/Froyo days manufacturer's overlays like HTC's Sense were almost necessary, those days are gone. Now people can choose more freely, at least people like us who want to root . All that said, Samsung has done a really great job with Touchwiz now, it's not at all a bad experience like it used to be. Very functional, light, speedy and provides plenty of depth in settings and customization.
I know the OP doesn't want to hear it, but you really just have to try things out for yourself and see what's best for you and your needs. Take people's suggestions and find some time to try out some various ROMs for a day or two at a time.

I'd love to try something else but right now I'm in love with CM10. It's my first custom ROM so maybe it's that first love thing going on. Woopie, I don't have captcha anymore.
If you like touch wiz like me then phantoms blazer from 1.7 is great 1.8 has some battery life issues

Just got my GS3(ATT) and im loving it.
ex Galaxy Note user so im familiar with rooting/odin/kernels/recoveries etc..
i just need some guidance in a completely stock rom that hes everything working.
and a kernel that everyone is trying
this isnt a "which rom is better?" thread or "what do you recomend?"
i know i have to try things out fist but i wanna keep it TouchWizy for a bit for now
Ive downloaded Ultimatum 2.0 so far
oh and i got stock ICS so i wanna get some Jelly goodies
Thnx in advance if mods feel the need to take it down because it starts a flamewar about rom pleasedo so.
Thnx once again

I dispute the existence of such a thing, but suit yourself...
If I were you, and I'm reading correctly that your phone is currently running ICS, I'd start with stock Jelly Bean; you can grab a rooted stock image here. Since I'm not running a TW ROM presently, I can't really suggest what might be good beyond that; I'll take the opportunity, though, to point out the KT747 kernel (which I'm currently running) available in several different flavours for AOSP and TW alike; configured properly, it's consistently been a performance and battery life boost for me.
Realistically, it's probably best to poke around for yourself and see what works best for you; there's a lot of development effort going towards this device right now, and there's something for everyone.

Hahaha yeah same here but we always start with stock
Thanks for the links
ill most likely start out with stock JB TW and add the kernel for some performance then start doing some more heavy duty stuff
anyone else's help is appreciated as well.

I was like you before I became addicted to AOKP. Check out Jedi Invasion 2.1. The performance on that thing and the battery life is amazing, PLUS! it's running TouchWiz! Why I didn't stick to it was because Facebook wasn't working for me :/ And since you've used a Galaxy Note, you'll feel at home

Thank you!! I'm downloading it now.. I decided to skip the stock JB for now and just jump to the big stuff.
My fiancé hates the flashing lol
I had a bad Note where calls/text wouldn't come in.. It might of been the ROMs too, not sure. But I had promised her I wouldn't flash anymore..... I just couldn't stay away haha
Any other kernels or tweaks you guys can
point out?
I know with the Note, the AOSP/AOKP roms had the whole Bravia/Beats/Thunderbolt tweaks (not that I need them or anything) just wondering if there is any like them
Thanks once again.

Tell me how it goes! It's an extremely well built rom
Yeah, I know what you mean, haha. I used to flash like 5-10 roms a day; I just couldn't find the right one! But ultimately stuck with Task's AOKP.
There's this other rom that is very similar to a Galaxy Note II experience, if you're looking for one that is. It also has the Bravia Engine and DSP Manager (kinda like Beats). Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951115

So far its amazing! And everything is working.. I couldn't stay away from aosp Lol

On the Note it was crazy fast or smooth so I'm gonna see how it does on the GS3.
