Hey all, I'm kind of new to the forums so hopefully Im posting this in the right place.
I am the owner of an AT&T Galaxy S2 as well as an AT&T Galaxy S3, and I have found that in the ROM community that generally the AT&T phone ROM options are always pretty far behind. What I mean by this is that say, when there are broken nightly builds for AOKP or Cyanogenmod for my phone many others already have stable releases. This is okay with me. They do what they can. My question though is, is there any ROM that turns out stable releases of their rom for my two phones quickly and consistently? Does it have a name?
Thanks in advanced!
The only one off the top of my head that is updated frequently by the same Dev(s) on the s2 & s3 is Aokp by task650 and ktoonsez.
It is perfectly stable and is by no means buggy or broken on either the s2 or s3.

Small bugs* but they get worked out quickly with updates VERY freq.
no need for threads like this

So a few questions:
1 - when is Jelly Bean from ATT going to to ready as an update?
2- anyone know when cm9 rom for ATT is going to come out?
3- I am all stock, should I wait until either Jelly bean comes or cm9 comes out?
And since sprint has cm9, I hope some one can port aokp and paranoid. I loved running those on my OG EPIC
sent from your moms room.
last update i read about was july 11 and it was still having issues with some apps.
1. Officially, there is no ETA for the Jelly Bean update on AT&T stock. Rumour is sometime in Q4 of this year.
2. CM9 for AT&T has been out since last Wednesday. The ROM is d2att for AT&T type Galaxy S3 phones. This morning's nightly is currently running on my phone, and it is quite usable. USB data transfer isnt working properly, the camera needs a simple patch to be activated, the camera still crashes after repeated touch to focus (try it enough times and it will crash), and changing the photo resolution crashes the camera. Still, the ROM is fully usable, and the camera works after patching as long as you don't fiddle around too much. See the thread in the AT&T Original Development forum for the Galaxy S3 for more info.
3. There is no compelling reason to use anything other than stock or rooted stock unless you enjoy fiddling, being on the bleeding edge of development, and the freedom of custom ROMs. There is the ongoing concern about losing IMEI numbers, so it may be a good idea to exercise extra caution right now till that is figured out.
From the cases I've read, it seems that all the people who lost their IMEI flashed Team Epic's universal/sprint CWM on AT&T type phones and flashed Sprint ROMs (that work with the epic cwm), so my guess is that sprint ROMs have something to do with losing IMEI numbers on AT&T type phones. I'd thus probably stay away from any Sprint ROMs on AT&T devices for now.
In any case, I'd suggest being patient if you're unsure about it right now (I'm a hypocrite though).

Is there a way to apply the camera fix from the thread you mentioned without using Root Explorer?
I've been a greedy Cyanogenmod user for the past 2 years on my Samsung Galaxy S, which has now been replaced by a Galaxy Nexus. I'm in love with the smooth vanilla experience, but going nightly tempts me. I'm well aware of all the features added by the Cyanogenmod team, but I'm also aware CM10 is still unstable. So the question is, is it worth it flashing CM10 for it's great additions even if it's unstable?
Also, what degree of "unstableness" are we talking about?

Well, compared to the galaxy s, it is very stable. Since its AOSP which is made for the galaxy nexus, the bugs isn't that frequent.

I haven't used CM10 for several weeks I also used Euroskank CM10 before that and both were stable then. I assume that it is even better now.
I can't think of a JB ROM yet that I would call "unstable".
Allons-y
Should I flash cyanogenmod?
I have ran both 9 and 10, personally I found 9 to be a more stable enviroment, specailly the early builds
I've been on cm 10 nightlies since they came out. I will admit there were a couple major bugs at first but those have pretty much have been ironed out. I say flash and enjoy.

Its rare to find any ROM for the GN unstable in my opinion. I have pretty much flashed every ROM in my thread with minor problems if any.

If you have issues with the gnex using CM its usually fixed in the next nightly. It is possible that you have issues with CM specific features. Those also get fixed pretty darn quick. In general, using cyanogenmod with official good phones are a safe bet that you have the best of cm and most stable out of any other cm phone until stable releases.

Flash it. It is pretty stable for daily use IMO. Its just that screen may flicker at times, settings might fc at certain times and some settings might be left blank (in my case Gallery settings is empty).
so yea, its really worth a flash and if you dont like it, there's always NANDROID. :laugh:
CM10 is rock solid for this phone IMHO. The only reason I bought the gsm version of this phone is because it is supported so well by the cyanogenmod team.
I say flash it. You won't regret it.

If you use a different Gapps package, ie Formula, the blank settings should be fixed.

also a ex-galaxy s user here, let me tell you, it's not just cm, all have roms are built from the ROM source available (gapps/device binaries are proprietary, but still), not just the kernel, like it was on i9000.
flash anything you want. roll your own if you want.

I know how nightlies work, I was just concerned about switching to CM because my CM9/10 experience with my SGS wasn't hassle-free at all. Thank you for all your replies, you're great as usual!

I have also migrated from galaxy s ( with cm 10) to gnex stock jb. I don't feel the need to flash anymore.... I am loving the stability of stock jb. I needed notification toggles n t9 dialer so I downloaded apps from play store.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Dude I'm in the same situation like you. Switched from galaxy s to nexus and tryed more than one rom on it.
You can try Cyanogenmod to see how it develops on your phone but I would recommend using Codename Android. It's much more stable and you can configure a TON of settings.
Try them out.
I like both 9 and 10 and found the night lies a lot more stable then the cm7 night lies. I still like cm7 more though
Just got my S3 last week. Already rooted it and LTE seems to work for me in Boston. Got that latest ROM pushed in. Now I am lusting after JellyBean. There is just so much choice out there. I just want to make sure I retain LTE and TouchWiz. Rest I am openminded about.
The only tw rom that is jellybean is the ported rom from leak of T-Mobile here is the link

This is tw jellybean but there r bugs in there and not stable u can search that thread and see. That would be the closet to a stable jellybean touch wiz rom. Another way is to do Aosp or cm10 and get a theme from the play store that mimicks touchwiz. For LTE u need to look at the thread I posted and see for cm10 and AOSP.

I'm actually running that leak now its not too bad in terms of stability. They worked out most of the issues with it.

If you don't want TW, Paranoid Android worked really well for me. I can't speak for it's LTE performance, as I live basically in the middle of the desert.

while it's only $100 at best buy. How's the development for this one (AT&T)? It looks like 9/10 of the ROMs have been abandoned and not updated for a month or more, is there some reason for this?
Anyway, if I get the SGSIII I will NEED
GPS that locks within 30 seconds, I get lost A LOT.
Working audio (no skipping or weird issues) from the 3.5mm connector
stable and doesn't crash or go really slow
Camera working enough to at least take clear pictures quickly
Do any ROMs do this currently?
Also a couple other questions. What can I expect for battery life, does it last a whole day with moderately heavy use? Any known issues that just come with the device and can't be/aren't currently fixed, like crapple's camera flare or my Infuse's terrible GPS (that got fixed with a relaunch and silent recall)?
Wtf. Almost every cm10 or aokp rom has been updated nightly. Most touchwiz roms don't get updated since they are close to being finished since there are no bugs on stock roms.
If you want it to work good run touchwiz roms. With battery I get 15 to 25 hours and about 4 hours on screen time which is pretty heavy use. As for bugs none I know of on stock. Everything works flawlessly.

you can use aokp, Its great!
While the International version has a ton of roms, the I747 has a good amount of solid builds. You can have your choice of stock ics touchwiz (ariel), jelly bean touchwiz leaks (aristodemos, serenity) and aosp jellybean hybrids (aokp, liquid smooth, paranoid android). All work perfectly with GPS locking on within 15 seconds max. Never had a problem.

100$ outright or under contract? BB canada is 0$ on our crappy 3 year plan
Yea.... a lot of the TouchWiz ICS ROM's haven't had updates lately because there isn't really a whole lot for them to do with the ROM, since it was pretty much complete to begin with. Just about all they really did on them is remove bloat, add custom themes, and tweak some stuff here and there. The TouchWiz JB ROM's still get updated fairly regularly, since there are still tweaks to be made here and there, and things to be updated as new leaks arise. But stuff like Cyanogenmod and the different ROM's built off of it are updated daily or every other day or two.
Been using CM10 nightly and now on M2 stable build. I use it as daily driver and don't have any issues. You won't be disappointed OP
I'll give my two cents as I've had this phone for bout 4 days now and I am coming of iOS.
I am a fairly techy user. I I run Linux servers for fun. I am but never got jntk android because I figured I'd play with the phone more than use it and it would end up being broken half the time.
Immediately after getting it I rooted it and flashed the rom and have already tried CM10, two TW ROMs and whatever else I could get my hand on.
Ultimately for stability purposes I'm still on stock. The phone is really good in terms of use, and but be prepared to know that ROMing it is still an experimental thing and if you want it to work flawlessly, and you'll most probably sitting on stock (which is not a bad thing)

not to hijack the thread..
but is Ariel the ATT equal of CleanRom for verizon?
I'm on SlimBean but battery isn't stellar... so going to try my luck at a touchwiz rom.
I have a international gs3 9300 and an ATT gs3 and I run my Att gs3 as my main phone because tasks aokp jellybean ROM is hands down the best ROM built for either phone. The 9300 has many more roms than the i747. I bought the 9300 for the increased development and I learned the expensive way that quality beats quantity in the ROM department. Get the Att gs3 and root and flash tasks aokp and I guarantee you will be very happy.
I hope you got the phone today and I hope you enjoy it. Personally, I'm so satisfied with the stock rooted ROM that I've almost kicked my flashing addiction.
Almost.

You can look under the original development page for some good stable roms like SlimBean, PA, and Aokp. All function well enough to be a DD.

I agree with Jonny here... I too am running JB AOKP and everything works perfect. Task650 is always adding new commits and is constantly updating the ROM. Another point to consider... every phone is NOT created equal. The same ROM and kernel can run better/worse on one SGS3 to the next. You have to flash and try a ROM out to see how it runs for you because it won't be the same on another phone of the same model. Besides, what's stopping YOU from going through the development area and reading the threads like the rest of us have to do to learn what we need to? First suggestion.... don't be lazy and expect others to spoon feed you answers because you WILL receive backlash and grief. Do yourself a favor and SEARCH and READ anything and everything you feel is pertinent to your query. Spare yourself the frustration. This is just a word to the wise. No disrespect intended.

The GPS and Navigation is AMAZING on any Android phone.
Their Music app could use some work, however i do use the app PlayerPro
TouchWiz is pretty stable but i find gets slower with time and i think thats due to the fact that its running ICS. I would recommend flashing a custom ROM such as CM10 for JB which makes the OS run ALOT smoother.
The stock camera is also very good with alot of features.
Hopes this helps.
So, I am finally going to make the move ... I have two Samsung Vibrant phones, running SlimBean 2.8 and LOVE the ROM... but going to probably get the S3 this weekend (T999 for T-mobile)... Looking for a very fast and stable ROM, 4.1.2. The phone will be rooted as soon as I get home with it and all the stock garbage yanked off... Just lookin for some advice. I wish Slim had a ROM for the S3 T999 but... no dice... no dice.
if your looking for soemthing fact and stable with a great battery life look no further PaRANOID ANDROID is Awesome!
