Those Korean dramas can be so damn enthralling. I'm ashamed to confess that I had neglect my family for weeks on end watch that crap.
As for better battery life, you'll have to try one of the many TouchWiz Roms. CM10 is still in beta hence horrible battery life. Try turning off unnecessary syncing and decrease screen brightness for improved battery life.
My settings such as WiFi is always off. I don't really know what else to turn off. I also turn GPS off.

I've been using the freegs3 rom with the Trinity kernel and its so smooth and I get great battery life

FrostyICS has my vote. V1 in particular. (V2 was a bit less battery friendly for me, and i have yet to try V3)
So far today I am at 13 hrs, 4 hrs of playing music (local not streaming), 2hrs screen on, and currently w/ 34% left with default sync settings. Of course YMMV as all phones behave differently.
You should do good with pretty much any Touchwiz based ICS rom. They are all good and each have their own strengths. Just check the features of each OP and try the one that sounds more like your ideal rom. Also read the last few pages to see if there are any current issues which are dealbreakers for you.
You really can't go wrong with any of them!

I am currently running Paranoid Android 2.16 with lean kernel and those 2 together have RIDICULOUSLY good battery life. It died after 39hrs of light use yesterday. Standby is almost like it doesn't use any juice at all. About to upgrade to PA 2.5 now

The only ROM I have tried so far was Digital Warfare and it was very smooth and had very good battery life. I reflashed my nandroid backup though because having the T989D Telus model of the phone I get the 3G icon instead of 4G. The ROM also came with a bunch of T-Mobile apps that I don't use. I can uninstall them, other than that the ROM was great.
I hear good things about battery life while running Juggernaut or Telus Stock Rooted Lightly Tweaked. If either ROM is run with Faux Kernel and one of Gideon's UC/UV scripts it's supposed to have fantastic battery life. Still have to give it a try though.

The best battery life I've seen is my current set-up. Juggernaut 5.0 with Darkside v1 kernel. I think in most part because I can underclock Darkside to 972MHz during normal use and 1296MHz for heavy stuff without any noticeable performance issues. Truth is I could go lower for normal use but 972 seems to work for me.
If you guys are interested I could throw up a screen shot after a full pull if you want.
I'm pushing 18 hours of normal use (social apps, browsing, heavy texting and some youtube and pandora) with 30% battery left. Of course this varies but to get 22-24 hours of normal use and still not be dead is normal for me.
I've run AnTuTU but don't know enough about how these systems operate to say anything other than my score goes up when the cpu MHz goes up (shocking!!) but I can throw shots of the tests up too.
This combo is a stable as any rom or kernel combo I've run b.t.w. Much respect to TDJ and Whitehawkx for the products they turn out.
The title say all !
I really love the stock look of my GS3 (t-999V) but I need a ROM with good battery life and couple of improvements tweaks. No themes at all ! Looking for smooth and stable daily use !
Which ROM y ou advise me ?

FrostyJB's battery life is wayy better than stock, you'll notice it right away...and after like 2 or 3 full charging cycles you'll have even better battery life.

CM 10.1 is good. I have personally been using LiquidSmooth 3.2.1 beta right now (Android 4.2.1) and it has been very good. Very stable and good battery life, if you keep location based services turned off. On my most conservative usage, this is my best battery life: http://www.twitpic.com/bw26dx
On heavier usage, I can go about 18 hours average and still have about 30 percent or so left.
I actually Just flashed liquid smooth like 10 minutes before you posted that lol.

Thanks for posting.. this thread will soon be closed like the rest with the same question.....
User's mileage may vary on ANY rom. Best thing to do is try one and see how it works for you specifically. Hit the Dev section, find a rom that fits your needs, flash and try it. Great thing about being rooted... Possibilities are endless! Don't like a rom, flash another! Thanks for shopping. Please come again.
So I rooted my cousins toro and put the xylon nightly on it. He said now that he's getting some pretty bad battery life. As he is not a flasher or a rooter he needs an extremely stable,fast, and battery saving ROM. As you can tell from my SIG I do not have this awesome phone so therefore my knowledge is limited. Any advice is appreciated

My phone drains 0.2-0.3% per hour on the stock kernel (on wifi with a decent router). The TW custom kernels are not worth using, in my opinion. Now AOSP on the other hand... yikes. Pretty much have to use them.

You might want to take a look at your wake locks. If you are having that drain while the screen is off, it most likely a wake lock. Search the forums for better battery stats.

I'm running HyperDrive Rom and Ktoonsez Kernel. I have tweaked much of the cpu frequencies and used the ktoon governor. However, my battery life compared to the stock rom isn't that great.
Every phone is different so will run different on your phone. I do recommend Dandroid. It now has wifi calling. Complete based on T999. It used to be a port. It's super smooth with great battery life. And it's Cyanogenmod themed.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
There are no "best" rom/kernel combinations for battery. It varies from phone to phone. You could try testing different TouchWiz roms and kernels, but remember to make a nandroid before doing so. Some roms you could try are wicked, stockorama, hyperdrive, etc. For the kernels you should use the stock kernel for stability or ktoonsez.
