Depends on your needs or wants. I can't live with stock TouchWiz for more then a day or two. It is very sluggish and I notice way too much lag in things. I vote AOKP in a week or so. Its not 100% yet but very close too and stable for some. If you don't know what you're missing then don't worry about it, and stay stock.

It depends, I haven't seen anyone saying gs3 is sluggish at all, I certainly can't find any problems with stock besides bloatware and carrier iq, for my needs 8t works great out of the box I used to root all my phones and put new rims and what not but this time it has a lot features integrated and more and the phone has pretty good battery life so I'm set

I just got mine and was wondering is it worth rooting becausr stock is already fast and stable
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It's always worth rooting.
Right now, the performance increase isn't the biggest reason, because this phone can handle anything we through at it with ease.
The root_only features, however, definitely are.
Backups, tethering, painless restores, themes, ad hoc wifi, and all the other goodies that custom Roms provide really make a big difference.

You really should check out the juggernaut rom and also faux123 kernal. I can't express how much faster the sg2 runs and no stuttering or lag. The phone also has much better battery life it's really amazing. Also no spying carrier iq, no bloatware etc. you can free wifi tether. You can over clock or under clock. My phone has never worked so good.
Definitely recommend the following:
Load cwm recovery
Install latest juggernaut rom 4.1
Install latest faux123 kernal
Not required but also install latest modem kl1
If you do then install swype beta keyboard
I use go launcher highly recommended.

DOOOOOOOOOO it!!!! You'll love your phone twice as much. There are some awesome themes and roms. You can make it even smoother than it is. Go to dev section after and try gingersnap with either kernel. Smooth as butter

That's a tough question mate. There really is no best. Its a matter of figuring out what you want and what roms do that the best. I recommend trying them all. Personally I'm a cyanogenmod fanboi and I try to run it on pretty much everything I own.
Sent from my Hercules with xda Premium.
main reason u should root and install a custom rom is BATTERY LIFE! lol u more than double your battery life, get all the bloat out of your phone, CIQ etc, plus you do get a performance increase, and its more stable than stock.. hands down best thing you could ever do to your phone.

Hi all,
This is my first venture into Android and I must say, I these are incredible phones, and I am very excited for the future of mobiles again!
I've tested out a few ROMs so far, and while the ASOK and cyanogen mods are more my thing, the ROMS out for them are not (still buggy as a daily driver for me)
On the other hand the stock rom for this phone is awesome. All functions are working fine and I haven't had one hiccup yet.
Anyone know another ROM that is as stable and possibly in JB. If not on JB but a batter rom that I stock which is still on ICS?
Thanks for your help!

CM10 Monthly builds are also quite stable. I've been using it for 2 months now. Also if you like the look of TouchWiz and want to stay on it but remove the Samsung bloatware, you could use the debloater tool or use Titanium Backup to freeze system apps

If you go with CM10, then you'll lose the stock camera app. I miss that app. The gyroscope features and floating video will be gone.
I haven't really tried the touchwiz based roms or AOKP.

I put on the second milestone CM10 from a week ago. Seemed had some microphone issues. Also on some apps couldn't do voice note feature which was a deal breaker for me.

I am having a hard time deciding if I want to go back to TW with stock JB. So far I am really happy with CM10 except for minor bugs here and there but what about you guys, Have you changed from CM10 to JB?
How do you like it?
Is it as fast and snappy'?
I miss the stock camera, the email layout, some gestures (txt to talk, Facebook integrated with contacts) and other lil' things here and there but that is about it.
Let me know.
I switched back. Its nice, smooth and snappy, but I do miss the vanilla aosp that cm10 delivers.....

I like both will use TouchWiz JB when need complete stock everything working 100% and then go to AOSP/AOKP when I want to have more fun with themes and such.
Yep I switched. I had been using all of the JB Leaks and had strangely poor performance but recently was able to attribute that to the "media server" taking up a disproportionate amount of CPU time and I was able to fix that. Everything's good.
I tried out the stock OTA and then switched right back. IMO nothing beats this stable CM 10.0 build.

Except having a camera that can save to SD card, ammirite!!!
Kidding aside, I switched back from CM to stock just a few days before the JB update and am glad I did. I've always used CM ROMs with previous phones, but this was the first time that there were simply too many things that should just work right that simply were not working right. The stock JB is definitely snappy, camera is great, GPS works instantaneously (was another gripe I was having with CM).

Correct, the stock camera has a lot more features, at least a lot more that comes with the CM10 rom
I thought about it but i have always been a sucker for AOKP and CM10 since the my touch 4g, the reason I bought this phone was the fact that Samsung is usually dev friendly and usually has aosp ROMs available

Touch wiz may be bloated.... But the features are awesome. The motion and sharing options are way ahead of stock Android. IMO not since HTC Hero has a "skin" actually added something good to android.
