Hi, just got a new S3 from ATT.
What's the best rom/setup with a good balance of minimalism/simplicity and customization?
New to andriod.. switching over from 4S.
thanks
Only you can decide that. What works best for YOU. So go try them.
Oh and welcome.

Best rom arguably out there is slimrom 2.3. It's 4.1.1 Jelly bean. Great on battery life. Have been using it for a week straight with zero issues.

If you want to keep all the features that come with stock Touchwiz, definitely use Ariel 2.07... has tons of customization features and allows you to use Google Wallet (NFC payment system)
There is no best rom, all is based on personal experience

That would depend on what variant you got. Is it Verizon, sprint, or gsm. If you got Verizon Xenon HD with the glados kernel has been fantastic for battery life and performance.

almost all the custom ROM are unstable at the moment. I am using stock for now, but if you want custom ROM right now, I really like aokp black bean ROM. It's not hundred percent full featured, but it is quite stable

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

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
I'll be getting my S3 tomorrow. Will going to a ROM ruin the special features that come with the phone, like the best photo option?

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.
Overall all features which work in regular build of android should work on my phone as well.

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.....

Just jumped from cm10 to this partly because ill be sending my phone to samsung soon. It is snappier if not the same than cm10. Quadrant score is 6100

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).

I was wondering how people would compare stock android camera vs the galaxy s3 camera. To me it seems like you would be losing features if you switched to a AOSP based rom, atlease until they are based on 4.2.

Hold on there Cyanogenmod is far from sh*t. They do us all a great service, for free, by giving us the ability to truely own our devices and customize it the way we want.

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

I did change from cm10 nightly to stock jb official because the features touchwiz have are just amazing.:thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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.
We can have most of the best features and still have tw options with jb roms. I don't see a benefit to running aosp on the s3.

I switch between Official JB and CM10 Stable. Both are great and I just cant seem to settle.

Just because you couldn't handle it doesn't mean it's sh*t.. You need to know what you're doing. But it's okay if you're inexperienced, just don't bash something great because you don't know what you're doing.

When I was running stock, I liked msg&chubbz ROM. Was a great everyday driver, stock with lots of customizations. Freeza's roms are about as stock as it gets.

I agree, there are so many good roms. There is something for everyone.
There is no such thing as a BEST ROM. Everyone has their own opinion of what they like
