You probably want to go with cm9 ics, but you'll learn just to flash for your liking. You'll get the hang of it and be all wondering what the ROM you're reading about is like lol

Koodo V3 has been the best for me as it is pretty much as close to stock ICS as you are going to get. People also rave about Jedi Knight and Jedi Mind Trick although I have not personally tried the latter two. All three are from the same great developer and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

I agree with the above... Koodo V3 is great. Might have something to do with being in Canada but I'm not sure.

I can't go wrong with AOKP Milestone 6 7/15. Highly customizable and rock solid. No issues at all.

Darkside Evolution ICS v7

Use the Jedi mind trick ROM. Its smooth and acts like a sgs3. Perfect for every day use. Also try the aokp build 2 jb ROM. Its better and faster. More customizable.

New to the Herc here and I went with JMT v9. Running smooth, no complaints and the dev is a good guy.

Try Darthstalker I like a lot more than the Jedi roms and it the rom with the best battery life that I've used.

Jedi mind trick or Jedi knight 2?

I noticed the same dev makes both roms and from screen shots I can't tell a difference.
Does anybody know the difference between these 2 roms?

Honestly I had the same question in mind.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Mind Trick is based off 4.0.3 and Knight is based off 4.0.4
I prefer Mind Trick because its been around longer and feels a bit more stable and agile (because the dev had more time to work on it).

Jedimind is just quick,Prefer mind than knight because of lag experience with battery saver.

May be with his experience built a better ROM than JMT
Ive used both as a daily driver and while both work great, i found myself leaning to the JMT. Both felt stable but the JMT ROM was [email protected] vs stock for JK. great ROMS both of them.
Jedi Mind Tricks. Jedi Knight 2 on the full is hardcore bloated but runs with no stutter and the Jedi Knight 2 Slim seems to stutter more. If you want the official note pop up video player, go Jedi Knight.
Jedi Mind Trick is a NICE ROM! Great battery life and REALLY stable! The Jedi Knight ROM is not as stable but has better BATTERY life!
Hope this helps!
I used both and for me both are great, no stutter or fc on them.
I lean toward JK2 just because is 4.0.4.
In the end, just try both of them and see if one it's better for you.

The best ROM?

actually I'am on Darkside Evolution 3 v8, at this time which is the best Rom? I look for a stable ICS ROM, I think JB isn't ready...
thanks
I haven't tried all the ROMs, but JB is definitely ready. I would never go back to ICS. I personally like the cm10 based ROMs. GPS is the only buggy feature. JB is so much smoother than ICS, its like a diff OS.
I'm running cm10 with flapjaxx kernel. OC'd to 1.67ghz.
With v6 supercharger script @25% supercharged.
Antutu BM= 7806 with superb battery life.

Try Liquid Smooth RC7 best jb rom hands down. No issues at all.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
ok thank you!! I will try it, one quick question, if JB doesn't like me, can I return to ICS only flashing Darkside Evolution again?
EDIT: i have read the LIQUIDSMOOTH Rom Post, the file i have to download is the HERCULES right? why the file only sizes 93MB?
another thing, in the Rom post, there are no instructions to install

I was on the darkside rome too,the same one. Switched to slim bean rom that has jellybean and enjoying it! You should try it out, also with the kko kernel.
Honestly.. JB is much faster, snappier and smoother. But... if you value battery life, stay on darkside evolution. I would definitely try them out though. Just nandroid back up and try liquid, cm10, or AOKP. All excellent. But like I said, as far as battery life goes, Dark side is still my go to.

How is the GPS on this? did you have to apply the AGPS fix?
When I was on LS RC7, I had to apply AGPS patch to get a lock on sattelites.
I just copied the gps.conf on /system/etc.

I am still on liquid smooth rc7 and haven't had to use any gps lock fix mine is fine.
If you value battery and responsiveness or stability I'd suggest you stay where your at. I've used all the jelly bean variants for days at a time and they all have presented 1 issue or another. Some would argue there problem free but occasional graphic glitches, ****ty battery, no wifi calling, call echo , gps problems, no flash support, and low speaker volume are some problems I'm willing to bet money you have at least 4 of these issues. Ive just got around to using Evolution 3.8 after hearing rave review and I must say its clearly the best TW rom and possibly the best rom I've ever ran on this phone. If you don't mind cm9 I'd suggest giving the Xperian Rom a go its stupid smooth and unbelievable battery life for a non touch wiz rom. FYI slim bean and liquid smooth rc 7 do kick ass so if do try JB thats where its at.

Hands down Cyanogen Mod 10 Stable.
Made me fall in love with my phone all over again.
I have tried nearly every popular rom for this phone and was getting tired of the glitches, quarks, force closes and other issues associated with them.
Tried CM10 2 months ago and I would never go back.
Jellybean is definitely the best, and CM10 is rock solid, most functional, stable, fast rom I have ever used on any phone.
Give it a try and you will understand.
I have cm10 since a month, but the camera doesn't work properly, wich other Rom do you recommend?

I agree, the devs are also working hard to put out more updates with their ROMS and are quick to respond to any questions about issues.

I'm eager to try one or more of them. Being more of a theorist than an experimentalist , by any chance ... is there anywhere that summarizes/compares them in one place? Especially with some commentary. That would be awesome.
Barring that (or even a thread that goes into a discussion of (some of) the differences), I guess I'll just pull up all the OPs and make a spreadsheet or something. :nerd:

[Q] To those of you who've tried a variety of ROMs

Hi there. As the title suggests, this is a question to those members who've tried a bunch of different ROMs. Can you please suggest the most stable one out of the ones that you've had a chance to try out, one with the least amount of bugs. Please don't go around posting annoying comments like "why don't you try a bunch of ROMs yourself". If I had time to try different ROMs, I wouldn't be typing this right now. I really need a stable ROM, and any suggestion is appreciated. I am currently using Jedi Knight 4, and it keep messing up my data connectivity every 15-30 minutes. It would go on an off non-stop every 3 seconds, and it would only stop if I turned the Airplane mode on and then off. It's really annoying, and I really need something stable, since the next few weeks are going to be incredibly busy for me, and I will need to rely on my phone a lot. I don't care whether it's ICS or JB, as long as it's stable and functional enough. Good battery life would be a huge plus, though not absolutely necessary, anything within decent range would suffice. Thank you in advance.
Have you tried to flash another radio?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I have not, but that's not my only problem with the ROM, just the most annoying one. I still need something different. Plus I don't really think that the radio had anything to do with it. It only started happening after I flashed the ROM, and that ROM wasn't too different from the rooted 4.0.4 update that I was using prior to that, and I never had problems with my connectivity with that one. Either way, maybe I'm wrong, but in that case, might you suggest a good radio?

It is hard to suggest what radio is the best. It depends on your phone and your location, but you can try Galaxy Note radio. For Rom, jedi mind trick X2 is the most stable.

I suggest to flash again the same radio that you have.
When I flashed All-dev AOKP version, my wireless got messed up in the same way as you are experiencing. Also sequential roms flashed after I noticed this issue did not fix the problem.
There is nothing to lose if you flash the same radio. Maybe only 1 minute of your time.
After I did this, I no longer experienced issues with my wifi connection.
I've tried many roms but i always go back to juggernaut its just stable and smooth its the daily driver for me. I wish team Kang will ever go back and edit that rom and add new themes and good update.<-------------- this is the answer untill they ever come up with a good stable release of jb roms they look cool and much more choices but a headache.

Favorite ROMs like blackjelly

I appreciate the work that all the devs put in to each of these ROMs. I'd love to run blackjelly but unfortunately I cannot figure out the data issues I'm having. So I'm searching for another ROM like it. I've already flashed quite a few but I want to see which other people are finding success with.
Any suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I too, was running Blackjelly for a while and liked it very much. I then tried 'Jedi Invasion' and that just seem to suit me better. Everything works, no issues, very smooth.
I will add that some have had problems with version 2.1. I flashed 2.0 and it was great so never bothered to try 2.1, fwiw
i just flashed liquidsmooth jelly bean 4.1.2 RC9 on my s3 and I really like it. super vanilla!
If you like Blackjelly, i assume you might like Slim Bean it's like blackjelly in the way that they both have that dark theme to it (i've personally never tried it, nor have any experience with it)

Yes there are so many different roms to choose from jellybam, AOKP, AOCP The Collective, Jedi Invasion, Serenity, Cyanogenmod, etc. etc. So it is all a matter of personal choice i would just research the different roms and see which one suits you best
here is a vote for aokp!
And here's one for every single ROM. They're all good, but if you want touchwiz, drewgarens ROMs or Jedi invasion is the way to go

I second this one. Jedi Jelly 6 is very smooth. My only issue with it is that it's based off of a leaked AT&T ROM.
I believe ptmr3 (the dev) is working on a new version that is based on the recent 4.1.2 release specifically for the SGH-T989.
I switched to an AOSP based ROM and I'm never looking back despite wifi calling being a cool feature, but I never used it. Anyway, I've been using 2.2 Slimstars which was pretty great. The updates seemed to be a little unstable like the camera not working. Is the new one, 4.12 pretty much fixed? And are there many changes with 4.2.2? I may try PACman. How's that stability wise? Stability and speed (I just want it to work without waiting you know?) are priorities.
ptmr3's Jedi Mind Trick JB 2.1 is by the the fastest and smoothest and glitch free rom out there
I have tried almost all roms of the ICS and JB flavour
personally I do not like non touchwiz roms
and all CM and AOKP 4.2 roms do not support MHL output or Bluetooth mouse properly
everything seems to work on JMT except for OP known issues
