Which ROM do you use/recommend and why?

I rooted and flashed my SGS3 yesterday to Kyan(?) because it looked like the most robust build.. it's nice but the data just didn't work so i had to revert back to original for now..
So it got me thinking.. which ROM do you recommend and why? and... Any idea how to fix the data issue?

AOKP because its nearly perfect and I haven't had any issues with it.

Second vote for aokp. Nearly flawless as is and updates are coming frequently also. Very smooth and buttery.... combined with ktoonzes kernel you can't get much better IMHO....

Cm10 nightly. Gets better everyday and I find it a tad faster than aokp. That being said I miss the on screen navigation keys that are found in aokp

JB ROMs are not yet fully baked (Netflix doesn't work, screen flickering, etc.etc.), and other random annoyances depending on the particular ROM in question.
As a result, I've decided to stick with ICS ROM's for now and Ariel 2.0.4 seems to be about the cream of the crop from a combined feature/function perspective.
Just my $.02

Netflix is now fixed in cm10.

That's good to know, but it doesn't change the fact that there are typically little quirks and wonky parts of JB ROMs that keep me from using one as a daily driver, hence my endorsing an ICS ROM below.
Netflix was just an example of what had been a common problem among early JB ROMs, and while it's cool that's been fixed, there are invariably other easter eggs that don't seem to exist in ICS custom ROMs, I guess is the point I was trying to make.
Of course, to each their own; what might be important to me might not be to the next person, but that's what makes the ability to flash any/all ROMs and then nandroid back if you don't like them, so cool.

I'm on KyanROM and has been good so far. Just put Ktoonsez kernel on coming from Faux so will be testing that combo out today

Paranoid android with ktoons kernel. Works quite well minus some flickering and it gets updated frequently.

I use Kyan ROM because it is rock solid stable, has good battery life, takes away all of the bloat and lets me add back stock apps via CWM if wanted. I am waiting to go to an AOKP 4.0.4/4.1.1 build such as Task and Ktoonz or Cyangenmod. However, they all have bugs and I have very little tolerance for technology that does not cooperate with my expectations. So until the bugs are worked out, Kyan ROM for me.

which rom is the fastest without overclocking? I found that quadrant scores have been the best on stock. I've tried it on CM9, CM10 and kyan, but they all produce low scores. GTA 3 gets laggy on CM10 too, gonna try it on stock and see how it performs.

Rooted stock. ( debloated )
Tried aokp and cm10 both fantastic roms but auto brightness was a bit flaky on both so I can back to stock.

excuse me for my noob question, but how do you debloat stock rom?

Go in with a root enable file explorer and remove all the stock and carrier added apps that you don't want/don't use. You can also find different flashable zips that fix and/or enable/disable certain "features", such as the continuous wifi connected notification, enable native tethering, etc. A lot, if not all, of the customized stock roms include these and others by default. I'm actually downloading Ariel right now to try it out as it seems to have a lot of this done already.

I vote aokp, rock solid stable, and extremely smooth.
You should really try a cm based jellybean ROM, if you haven't yet, you'll be amazed by how fast and smooth it is compared to stock.

Ariel is the best stock rom nothing compares to it, its bug free free has aroma installer, where you can choose what mods you want to flash in cwm and has more features than any other stock rom hands down the best.

i747M - Best ROM and Kernel

Hey guys,
What is the best rom/kernel combo you have found? I am currently on slimbean with kT kernel. Looking for what has worked for others :good:

+1
I'm very interested to know myself. I just got the sgs3 coming from a galaxy nexus running aokp. I love the new touchwiz which is ,I find, leaps and bounds beyond the sgs2's version of touchwiz. I actually want to keep it. I want a rom that gives me more without taking anything away. What I mean is a juiced up touchwiz with more customization. No nova or apex. Lte, avcrp and nfc that actually work. landscape mode phablet mode etc. Every rom has one or the other not all.

at this point it really comes down to personal opinion. all roms are heavily supported and seem to be very stable. it depends on what your looking for.
slim is a great rom very smooth and light (only ~80mb in size!) but i've found that i get more random fc's on slimbean than i do on cm10/aokp. so im sticking with cm10 & kt747 kernel for now. i always check out new slimbean updates though, when it gets a little more stable ill probably stay there.
i haven't had much experience with leak based stock jb roms. when the official at&t jb update comes out ill probably stick with stock jb because i do enjoy touchwiz but right now it seems that aosp is better with stability and battery life.
one thing i am sure of is every rom i flash, i flash ktoonsez kt747 kernel. during heavy use i switch to from ondemand to ktoonservative governer and that will really save you battery life.

i think it does come down to personal preference, but what I'm using is the latest Cyanogenmod 10 nightly with Ktoonsez latest kernel (9/23) and it's underclocked and undervolted. Great performance and even better battery life.

Serenity is based on the note 2 software. Milestone is based on the tmobile s3 leak. I tried both and went back to an ics rom (ariel). It just seems more stable and has more of the features that i like.

I really like Serenity v1.1 located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869300.
There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing that would prevent daily use in my opinion. If you are after super stable then you should probably stick with a stock-based ROM of which there are plenty. If you want to try out JB then I'd give Serenity a shot.

I use kt747 with stock rogers rom, (4.1.1 JB). Aside from a couple of issues with charging for while powered off, everything is working well.

Jedi ROM 2.0.
I've had 0 issues with it, great battery life, buttery smooth (using Nova launcher) and everything works flawlessly.

[Q] Which JB Rom are you running?

I like how stable my stock rooted ICS is, but I want to try a JB Rom. Which one would you guys recommend? Most important thing (for me) is for it to be stable and bug free (as much as possible).
So, to those who have tried many of the Roms in the Dev section, which one would you say is the most polished?
Thanks in advance.

I've been running AOKP JB since my GS2 and have had no problems whatsoever, none that weren't self induced anyways. Rock solid and smooth like glass, especially with the KT747 kernel.

running liquid smooth, everything is great except i can't get LTE to work

Thanks guys. I'm on the US AT&T Network. Having data is important. Sorry I forgot to mention it earlier.

The most polished? Hmm that's a tough one since they all have bugs, but nothing that wouldn't be considered a DD.

I'm running Paranoid KANGdroid, a mix of CM10, Paranoid Android, and AOKP.

I've tried many (not all) and for me the most stable are aokp and liquid smooth. I haven't tried CNA but I'm sure its rock solid too.

Thanks guys. I'm trying AOKP now, so far it's good. I miss TW though.

I am running DrewGaren's JellyBean747 Milestone6. It is stock with TW and for me is running perfectly.

I'm running Codename Android 3.6.6. Been playing around with it a couple of days. So far, I'm loving how clean and polished this rom is. Only flaw I can really see in this build is that A2DP support seems to be broken. Here's hoping that version 3.8.0 fixes that:fingers-crossed:

I'm also running DG JB M6 and loving it. The only thing I can say that I'm having a problem with is that it says 4G when I'm in an lte area. I'm getting lte speeds, but it just doesn't say it in the earlier icon bar. No complaints about that.
I can't wait for the M7 to be released shortly. I haven't tried any other rom as of yet. Haven't found a reason to leave DG and his great work.
One thing that I would like is to have the abity to over clock the gpu. As far as I know that can't be done on the kernel that DG uses. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Can anyone suggest another rom that is a reliable?

I had problems with Liquidsmooth, it would constantly restart and close apps. I have not had any of those issues with AOKP, BAKED, asylum, or the Stock Rooted. I used TWRP for all my flashing.

I am waiting for DGs 1.2 serenity at the moment.. just a question tho.. not sure on all the cm10 aok tw names.. but is there a rom that looks and feels like Nova launcher.. i like the fact you can fit more apps on the screen and more at the bottom.

Well I'm about to put on the new JB M7. I'll report back with how it runs good me.

AOKP - i have tried them all and this one has been the most stable

RootBox 10/25 nightly

i've tried out AOKP and CM10. both are great. thinking about switching to a TouchWiz custom ROM now. looks like i'll be choosing between drewgaren's Milestone 7 and Serenity 1.2

[Q] What is a solid stable ROM for a light user?

My GF now has the S3, and she's very light in terms of tech savy. I flashed a CM10 nightly build for her to start her phone out, but it's been hanging and lagging a bit from time to time, and that more than anything else bothers her.
Should i just put her back on stock, or is there a great option that isn't so cutting edge but will be sure to be bug free and solid and smooth for her?
The issue is it's not in my hands so i can't play around with it a lot to test and see, she'll just complain if it doesn't work perfect lol.

I'd say Ariel or Kyan rom for normal use and you can throw on KT747 ICS touchwiz kernel as well. I wouldn't do any of the JB based roms atm if you want pure stability.

I like Slim ROM but it really comes down to personal preference. Take a couple hours and flash a couple different ones. Does she want TW or pure Android. There are just so many choices...it might be an interesting experience getting her to participate in the testing since it is her phone.

Try out Tasks AOKP, it's really nice. I just switched to black jelly last night and I'm liking it so far, battery hasn't been great my first day, but it should get better.

+1 for Task/Ktoonsez AOKP JB ROM - its flawless!

+1 for kyan. All the jellybean roms are sweet but always had issues with video recording (very low audio). For a lite user I would say stick to ICS.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

If she likes CM10, I suggest flashing the "M" versions as those are the monthly stable builds (latest one was around 15th of October). Anyways AOKP is good, it was released a week or so ago and I find it very stable and battery life is better than CM10 (in my own experience). Anyways just do whatever she likes. Most people recommend Kyan so do whatever she or you want.

Stock 4.0.4 works near perfect for me. It is under rated. I have disabled bloatware and added some tweaks but honestly, it rocks fine. Ultra reliable. I am a guy who spent over 1.5years tweaking with my legendary HD2...using custom kernels and cm roms, and never 100% happy...yet the S3 out of the box...kicks butt.

BlackJelly if you want JB. kyanRom if you want ICS.
To the guy who said BlackJelly was poor for battery life: I just went over 5 hrs of screen time with it. It's amazing.

Thinking of just upgrading her to stock JB now that's it's available. I would love to flash a rom but since she will only complain about problems, not really notice advantages, I lean towards keeping her stock. Unless there's a hands down choice that will be STABLE

Hey guys currently just stock and rooted, getting antsy for something new, but like to stay samsung based any suggestions?

Im so glad you posted this.. i was about to post a question on a really good stock based rom. I'm currently using the cm10 one and it works awesome so far no issues but i would like to go back to touchwiz.
Just that the stock rom has a couple of things i really don't like. Mostly in the settings but if there was a way to tweak it i would go back.

no bugs or glitches, runs perfectly, and its stock based so you get the same look as before. It's also extremely debloated. Just remember to flash Ktoonsez kernel after flashing the rom.

It may not be stock based but I have always loved CyanogenMod and I'm currently using the Unofficial CM10.1 and the only problem is that the camera doesn't work.

I've tried a bunch. My favorite so far for both performance and battery life is AOCP.
I am not a fan of TouchWiz, but on a lark I flashed the Jelly Bean TW-based Loser ROM yesterday, and I have to say I"m impressed. I might stick with this for a while.

I really like cm10 but the wifi issues and screen wake up made me flash back to stock. Still trying to find a good stable rom with decent battery life. I would rather it have fewer features with no issues than tons of features with tons of bugs.

I'm really liking LoserRom everything works out of the box, it is fast, and the battery life is looking pretty good with KT kernel. But that's all I'm looking for right now. Stock based with killer battery. Check it out.

I have used many. I have used AOKP, LiquidSmooth, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid, and ParanoidKANGDroid. I'd say out of all of them, AOKP was the smoothest, I just don't like it. On CyanogenMod, it would hang and reboot and sometimes WiFi was extremely weak, and it doesn't help that most AOSP ROMs are based off of CyanogenMod. I am waiting for CM10.1 to see what happens.

Is it possible to use a different version of the camera? OR do you have to use the version you are on? For instance I'm on 4.1.2 and like the camera with stock 4.1.1.

I'm using Slim 3.1 and I love it, I'm getting over 1 and a half day's worth of battery with normal use, texting, emails, surfing, youtube etc.

Using task650 aokp 4.1.2 with his underwear kernel is rock solid, so much customising and been getting retarded battery life usually 1.5 days with about 6 hrs on screen time. Plus able to use it for everything lots of calls, texts, navigation,wifi, youtube, gmail. Its awesome

The unofficial CM10.1 JB 4.2 for d2att (ATT version of S3) has camera working as of this morning. Apparently photosphere isn't working, but that's a pretty unnecessary feature IMHO. So far it's my favorite ROM, and aside from having to tinker with the data settings, I haven't run into any bugs.

I'm running CM10.1 (4.2.1) with KT747 and I'm getting the best battery life and performance I've ever gotten with my phone to date. This also doesn't have any of the black screen issues or anything which kept me away from vanilla android roms for awhile. All the 4.1.2 ROMs I've tried sofar speak a lot to the future of android - INCREDIBLY smooth and fluid, great battery life and awesomely stable. Especially considering they're all still in beta, it's very impressive.
Only issues are that the camera doesn't work and data can be temperamental every so often. I'm currently at 1day 5 hours, 2 hours screen on time with 46% remaining. 192mhz-1728mhz with ktoonservative.
I'm actually gunna give Task's AOKP preview a try right now. I was running it before but left because of the black screen wake issues. I was hesitant about using the preview because of the call echo issue, but it's also present in CM10.1 apparently..

Guys, the OP states he would like to stay Samsung based.
