Honestly they all seem about the same to me. You may squeeze a little extra out by flashing a custom kernel and playing with settings a bit.

Strong Steves Odex Blue ROM is Great on battery and is very smooth and fast. Give it a try
They all do for the users that run them. No one runs their phone the same as you so you have to try them and see.
"What is the Best" threads are meaningless in that respect.
Had to clear that up.
I'm just interested in knowing what ROMs you guys are running, and why.
I'm not rooted yet (plan on doing that tomorrow)
but I'm looking for the most stable ROM with the best battery life.
With all of these threads and links, it's hard to keep up.
So I'm hoping to hear from the community.
I have no intentions of this thread turning into a "this ROM is better than X ROM because of Y Reason."
Just seeing what needs people have and the ROM(s) that fit those needs.
And I'm curious as to which one(s) have spectacular battery life!
Post away.

I came from a S2 which is how I learned to root. Its fun. Flashing is addictive... really. I change roms when ever one has something new and cool I just gotta try but I can truly say that JELLYBAM is the best I have used as of now.... though im always looking. If you get over the broken boot up imiage its the best I have used (not that I tried them all) I get like 20percent drain from a entire day of use
I am running ParanoidKANGdroid right now, going on closer to a week on it. I have tried CM10.1 nightlies and the newest AOKP, as well as task650's AOKP, but my favorite so far is this one. It has the most customization I've found, which I really love. My only complaints are that I don't like the camera, the "desk clock", and it's only 4.2.1. So far my favorite though

Im using Paranoidandroid, i felt like kangdroid was too bulky with too much extra stuff i didn't need/want. I like paranoid cause it seems pretty simple and smooth. But i have had some issues with random restarts, camera messing up, gallary messing up, and some other things i cant remember right now. I rooted for the first time like a week or so ago and i really like it. I just want more stability, best that i've used but im not satisfied. Plus the rom hasn't been touched since 11/21/12 so it could probably use some upgrades.
Anything is better than ATT stock JB, which sometimes drained in 20hrs.
Right now what im looking for though is a stock rom that has been stripped and streamlined. I have two things i need my phone for, Ustream/Livestream and taking pictures/video. Anything that is gonna crash unexpectedly or slow down because of so much extra junk is useless to me.

+1 I've researched almost all of the roms for our phone and i found that jellybam suits my needs. Plus i find that the mixture of ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, and Cyanogenmod is cool and makes for a lot of customization and features. It's a good rom pretty stable not much bugs or anything. And i'm also getting good battery life. I think the boot image should be fixed soon. But as with any rom it's all up to personal preference.
Battery life and stability are the two things I look for in a rom. 4.2.1 ROMs are the way to go unless you need Bluetooth streaming. Everything else has been near perfectly stable. Liquid smooth, tasks aokp, illusion and slimbean take your pick.

But none of those have the Bluetooth streaming figured out?

I am on Task650's 12/23/12 build because I use Bluetooth media streaming (mostly Audible) extensively throughout the day, in my car. The newest version of Task's ROM is nice and solid, but I can't live without BT audio.
I will commit to daily JB ROM flashing when that issue is cleared up.

Not completely sure. Not something that I use. I've read people are having problems with it. I'm sure the cyanogenmod team is working hard on it and will probably have it working in the next few weeks.
I'm torn.
I love the Touchwiz Features I get now.
(S Beam, S Voice, Smart Stay, etc)
But I want AOKP 4.2.
Ugh. What should I do?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2
I enjoy touchwiz features too. They're not something I use everyday but I prefer being on 4.2. So many speed and battery life improvements.
Keep in mind you can usually find an app to replace touchwiz features. Like smart statusbar will allow you to show the status bar when in full screen mode.
Thanks for the input!
Do you know of any Touchwiz ROMs/kernels that drastically improve battery life?

Ive been using Task&Ktoonsez's Rom for quite a while now. hes always on top of getting things updated to the next version, and is really quick about getting bugs ironed out. if you look at the developer thread he can be a bit prickly, but his roms are great.
As the title says
I want to switch to one of these ROMs but I want a stable fast and smooth ROM
Which one would you guys recommend?
I know of the features that come with both ROMs I'm just basing your opinion on stablilty, smoothness and speed.

the best option is to flash both and test them out yourself
Liquidsmooth FTW!

Testing both for sure. However I've tried both and...
I would recommend the newest unofficial build by LiquidSmooth JB 4.2.2. It's pretty darn smooth and the fastest I've come across. Most all the kinks if any have been ironed out!
Fast. Daily Driver. Great Features. Superb battery life!
Here's the thread with the download links. Any questions as well would be already answered there! Have fun.

Big thanks to itsmikeramsay!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1665225
Hey, I'm trying Liquid Smooth atm. It's pretty smooth so far
Only irk I have about it though is that it's missing Sound > Vibrate preferences. Ie When it's on silent it's not totally silent as the buttons still provide feedback (vibrations) on touch. The stock rom behavior is to be completely silent except maybe alarms. It's nothing major but an annoyance that hopefully will be gone at some point lol.
I thought I posted a reply already but I guess not??

I have tried Liquid smooth but was blown away by ParanoidKANGdroid 2.01.:good:
Why is it on all these roms battery life sucks. When I say sucks 8hr is bad when on stock you get 13 to 14. That is the main problem for me. When I first got this phone I was amazed by the battery life. That's a big deal to me. I have flashed every Rom for our phone some have better battery life than other but none come close to stock. Not bithing I love the work that the devs do for the g pro this is more on the line of just wondering why it is like that. I even flashed the official cm same thing . You would think because the roms don't have all the bloat and crap that stock has on it the battery life would be better and yes I have calibrated the battery and let the roms settle still same thing.

U probably forgot to flash the modem after u flashed the custom ROM. That's why it is so bad on battery life. Even so I don't like the cm Roms a lot because I lose some awesome features only the stock ROM has, I do have to say the custom Roms have excellent battery life.

Flash wootever's kernel over unofficial cm and play with the settings. Its actually better than stock. Not by much but its noticeable. Only way I've gotten better battery life than stock so far.

If you want a atock based rom there are i believe 2 already out and i have used both ofthem. They have really good performance and battery life.
You will see a good improvement if youuse the stock based roms here on xda
I was just looking at one. It seems like it is a pain to flash. I don't think that it is like the other ones maybe wrong but I was reading and everyone was having problems.

Hey All,
I flashed the Shiny ROM recently. I am getting pretty bad battery life though I didn't own the phone long enough before flashing a Shiny to know if this was a Shiny issue or not. Anyways, I like the ROM well enough but was curious if anyone could suggest another ROM that perhaps goes easier on the battery. I am just on the edge of getting a zero lemon battery but thought I might try a few more software tricks before I plunk down the cash for that battery.
I have already replaced the shiny kernel that is baked into the ROM with the KK422 kernel which I had heard is easy on the battery. Seems to be helping a bit so far.
I know that battery use is highly individual, I am mostly looking for a starting suggestion. I can run my own usage diagnostics.
Thanks yet again!
Use greenify and wakelockdetector. Also you can try to tweak with trickster to get better battery.

Thanks. After I wrote that OP it occurred to me, probably kernels more so than ROMs affect battery life. Just based on the little that I now that would seem to be the case. Is that true at all?

Yeah I noticed better battery life with kernels not so much by switching roms..
