What he said.. Each are varying with what works and what does not. I am running CM10 on my main phone, its not bug free but I dont have any huge major issues. CM9 improves on some things but not everything. The only ones I would personally call rock solid are the CM7 builds.

Want stable use phone daily for nav and tether also what's best way to backup my Rom now ?

You're not being very forthcoming with your setup. Assuming you are already rooted...You can back up apps with titanium backup. You can back up the rom with your recovery (cwm, twrp, ext, etc...). For nav, any rom will do. For tether, it depends on if you want to use the built in CM tether, or a market app. I believe the CM7 roms have the built in tether working. CM9 and CM10 may require the use of an app like barnacle for tethering. Stability is in the eye of the beholder, but generally the CM7 roms will be most stable since they have "better" kernel source.
My real suggestion...spend some time reading around the threads because you are the only one that can really decide what will work best for you.

Okay sorry I was not very specific but yes I am rooted on android 2.3!4 and I just want make sure I have a good alternative to stock maybe with better performance to keep my itch for a new phone away

You could forgo CM all together and try UKB, its a great ROM and Nitsuj keeps it up to date.....

CM10 unofficial
I have always been a CM fan from my OG Droid days.
For backing up I tend to allow google to keep my apps up to date after a fresh install. (I feel like google owns me at this point anyway) I dont use Titanium much now. I do back up my SMS messages though with SMS restore.
For the Inc 2 i think CM9 is fairly fast, has FFC, is mostly stable, and i WAS able to tether with the stock app. A good option
But I use CM10 consistently at this point because 1. It is visibly faster than CM9 and 2. I am now hooked on google now. Its pretty awesome even though i have seriously considered reverting back to CM9 for the FFC (google hangouts and skype video calls worked for me well)
I would check out aeroevan's v13 kernel and 20120821-unofficial for a good option.

Okay I now a lot about Android but I'm lost for a second now what is ffc ?
Sorry I got it now
Okay so yes I just need to have everything backed up with my stock Rom
Anyone ever used uniflash ?

CM
If you want absolute stability and everything to work (including proper audio and camera) I would recommend cm7.2
If newer features like google now matter more, I would use cm10, aeroevans build is getting very good. Some issues with audio, with some workarounds, there are details in dev forms here and on rootwiki.
I still use cm7.2 because the audio is perfect, which is important to me, and the battery life is far superior at this point.

Thank you sounds good!

CM9 Rom which is the best?

I am a newbie to one x previously had a HTC salsa,unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM,now which is the best CM9 Rom round the town without any bugs?those who have flashed any cm9 Rom can tell their experience
....
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You can go for TripNRaVeRs Undeavour Unleashed, he's been active with CM9 for One X the longest Some bugs remain, but it's stable enough for daily.
They're all good.
They've all got minor bugs.
I suggest you do some reading and flashing and see what you think.
Any repacked custom kernels???
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Have found stock kernel to be the best
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
If you are gonna install Trip's CM9 Rom,I would recommend "franco kernel r12"!
Using Trip's ROM with the stock kernel and it's a beautiful mixture.
I'm using Cm9.0.0-RCO-endeavoru-tripNRaver and kernal version 2.6.39.4-g86aa44d and everything is pretty much working except I have lost the use of cwm (can't boot into it), camera is buggy, can't get any Google apps to work, have even tried just installing the .APk for gplay. Just force closes, have no option to sync my Google account in mail, calendar, contacts and have tried flashing the gapps through cmd but has no affect... Other than that, I can make calls, send texts, browse the web . And wifi tether not working but that was mentioned anyway. Is there an updated version that fixes these problems? I love the rom though. Great aesthetics and functionality
I've found paranoidandroid the most fun to use and its capable of being a daily driver. Battery life is pretty good also.

+1.
Its nice to have a good looking rom not based on sense or cartoon characters.
So everything works now except for the camera, force closes when taking a picture of a person, doesn't do it when taking "non people" pictures. Does the camera on trips cm9 work properly for anyone? Am using the 017 version.

Just rooted!?

Hey guys I just rooted my s3 and flashed my first ROM. I was just wondering what ROMs you're using (currently running CM10) and what's some nice apps to get for a rooted device? Thanks!

I'm on 12/26 nightly of CM10. Titanium backup and a ad blocker app.

I would say Titanium Backup, Wifi tether for root users, and Rom toolbox are must have apps.
The toolbox and TB are both really awesome and packed to bursting with features
Oh and +1 to the guy above me on the ad blocker app, it really helps.
Oh and some sort of file browser, root browser has a nice GUI but tends to crash a lot, Root explorer is a little more reliable
Thanks for the replies guys! So glad I decided to root my device and hope to really get into all the ins and outs of rooting!

What i got on board my s3
What I am running is Frankenstein kill joy7 2.1 with the standard AGAT kernel .3.2 which comes with the ROM. It launches on APEX which for me is no big deal. Also Frankenstein also comes with almost no bloat ware.I have been through a few roms and found this one really nice. I have used CM10 and it was ok for me but liked the single core when the screen was off. Titanium is always excellent and even Pimp my ROM or ROM Customizer app. and Goo manager if you are ever plan on switching your ROM. If you are new at swapping ROMs biggest advice anyone could have told me is to do ALOT ALOT ALOT of research prior to switching to a new ROM nothing is more frustrating the a boot loop, soft brick or worse a BRICK. hope it helps and welcome to the custom ROM it gets better from here on out
Oh yes yes, usually some sort of build rpop editor andthe following recovery and managing apps (either one)
ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) + Rom Manager
TWRP and Goo manager
I would also HIGHLY recommend doing a lot of research (like the guy above me said) and you seem inclined so it shouldnt be a problem, a good start would be going to xda-university.com and reading through the entire "Users" section, it very thorough and easy to understand

Minimal Rom for use as mp3 player?

I'm about to get a new phone and so this one can get a new purpose.
As the title suggests I'm looking for a rom with the least amount of features so it can be used as an mp3 player.
I mean I know I can just go ahead and use it as is, but I'm wondering if there is a Rom that would make the phone use as little resources as possible. Like for example simply lacks the ability to use it as a phone.
I can't help but wonder that if the phone features were taken out, that the device would simply be able to last longer.
Otherwise, what would be the most stable, fast Rom with best battery life and how would I go about disabling / uninstalling the things I would not need to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
And which settings can be disabled without everything else force closing on me.
I think the cm10.1 by tiny has the most optimizations and will work better than any gb Rom. You can then just put it in airplane mode and use titanium to get rid of anything you don't need.

Thank you. I did nor know cm10 was stable enough. But then, the last time I tried anything close I had issues with the camera which is something I won't need anymore anyway.
Can you think of a list of apps that would be safe to remove considering my purpose? Or perhaps a link to place that has many apps documented already? Obviously I'm referring to system apps that would become useless to me

I have to disagree with my own ROM being ideal for a media player.
For fast and stable, try insensitive minimalist (de-sensed GB ROM that's quick and light on features) or Bugless Beast (AOSP with a few extra features GB).
I don't have a link for the first one but it's in the inc dev forums somewhere.
http://www.peteralfonso.com for Bugless Beast.
I can't honestly recommend CM10 or CM10.1 for speed and battery life, though it is more fun than gingerbread.
Well I must say I appreciate the honesty. I'm indeed not looking for fun on this device. Simply a decent mp3 player is all it would become.
So thanks for the tips, I will look into them this weekend

Was actually going to make the same topic. I don't hardly use my incredible anymore but now I have to kinda. Apparently my nexus speaker decided it was going to be an asshole and crap out on me. So now I'm forced out of hand to use my incredible.
So I'd like to know a few things.
- ROM "Technically won't matter" I'll probably throw on sense 3.5 and use beats with other mods I've found.
- Kernel, unsure if new kernels have surfaced and I'd like to know. Aosp and sense.
- Fast, Minimal as he said. Just suggestions because again I'll probably choose 3.5.
- Best musically playable ROM, which one would be the best use for music specifically.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Stock TW APKS on Task's AOPK?

Hi All.
I wanted to get tasks rom. My only issue is that I really like the stock tw music and video apps. Is there a way for me to get those stock apps on my new aopk rom? Btw, I know about the repository of the stock apk, but will they work on aopk, if i put them in system? Thanks in advance
TW and AOSP (CM, AOKP, Liquid, etc) use entirely different frameworks. Therefore, TW apps are not compatible with Task's ROM.
I wondered about that as well. It seems the only way I can get clear audio through bluetooth streaming is with TW ROMs. A brutal catch 22 for me.

I am pretty positive the bluetooth is working perfectly on Task's latest release (2/15 JB 4.2.2) Might want to check it out.

It's not that. I love Task's ROM. I have no problem with the functioning of the music streaming. It's just I still get a little distortion even with the updated versions. I can't figure out what the problem is.

The issue is the open source drivers that AOSP roms use instead of the drivers built just for the chip. This is something that always has and always will plague the open source roms. While the open source files work they do not work the best. The chips OEM holds back just enough to make sure their files will always work the best. It is just something you learn to live with.

Galaxy SIII has become slow..

So my Galaxy S3 has become slow over time. I noticed about a few weeks ago how my keyboard simply got deleted and dissapeard of my device.. so I had to go into the google store to download another one - not sure if this is even related to my slowness.
However, I have found the device has become slow. It simple takes a while to load APPS, even when typing and just doing other tasks. I've actually disabled the stuff under developer options that I have found on this forum but it made minimal differences. Also I close out all my APPS using the task manager.
I am not rooted and running stock rom. Currently it has 4.1.2 running. If I were to root the device, can I;
1) Backup my stuff beforehand so when I return I can get my game progress etc. back?
2) Will rooting it make a difference?
Thanks in advance.
You will have to buy titanium backup, but worth every penny.
And yes rooting makes a vast difference in speed,stability,and just about everything else.

Thanks for the reply.
I did some research and apparently the Carbon Backup APP from the playstore is able to do backups without having root access. So I was actually able to back up my phone with that I guess..
Now, what would you recommend installing once its rooted? What rom?
Its a matter of preference. You have 3 choices. Aosp, touchwiz, or miui. After that it's just preference. All aosp is more or less the same. Same goes for tw. Just different settings or features in each version

Is touchwiz the one that comes stock on the Galaxy S3?
Yes. But there are different uhh... "Flavors" of touchwiz
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Specifically for #2, yes rooting can making a huge difference.
Generally there are either TouchWiz (Name of Samsung's "skin" atop Android on the S3) roms that have huge amounts of customization like Hyperdrive or a debloated and "lighter" rom for better battery life, less lag, etc. On the other side, AOSP or stock Android can come in many different forms, 100% bone stock, All-in-One Roms like PAC, or simpler roms like CM 10.2 or AOKP. I prefer AOSP based roms a lot more than the TouchWiz roms because they generally seem very snappy and give me more internal space too!
AOSP Roms I Recommend:
Bam Rom (not on XDA) http://get.bam-android.com/
Task 650's AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
Best one IMO: Quantum by pwncakes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390147
Hope this helps!
I use the S3Rx rom myself and really enjoy it. It is touchwiz baised and is silky smooth. I also put it on my wife's S3 and she has not had any problems. Cheers.
