[Q] What is a solid stable ROM for a light user? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

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.

Triune II rom best super stable with all features

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

If she doesn't care about newest upgrades leave it as is(just upgrade to newest stock) she won't care and you won't get hassled when stuff doesn't work, just my opinion, been there done that with my wifes phone.

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.

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.

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 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.

I've tried almost every rom out there but just keep coming back to Blazer or Kyan for my daily satisfactions without frustrations
ATT GS3
White Hot! GS3.
Tried several, AOKP e.g. but none had the full functionality of Diet ICS where literally everything works. It has been my DD for months now, practically the longest I've ever had a rom. Though I'm still waiting for a truly stable JB.

Has anyone tried wanam vs Ariel ? Which is more stable and smooth ?
What : AOKP 10-13-3012 paired with ktoonez KT747 kernel
Why : smooth as silk, nothing i've tried to do hasn't not worked (yes thats a double negative, thats how awesome it is) and paired with the undervolting capabilities of KT747 the battery life is amazing
What more could you ask for in a rom/kernel combo.....other than maybe a sammich
I've used PA, CM10 and AOKP, but im on SlimBean for now. Use to use CM10 as DD but its been very buggy lately. Tried PA for a few weeks but hybrid mode is nothing special, and AOKP had bad battery life for me. SlimBean is ok, not the best but good enough to be a DD. Battery Life is decent. Never tried Baked rom yet but it looks interesting...
I don't really feel like I have a DD just yet. I'm still going thru the searching process for one. For a while, I was using Blazer, then I switched to a couple different JB leaks. I ran a couple different versions of Drew Garen's JB Roms: Milestones 2, 3 & 3.5. They weren't stable enough for me to use daily because of too many force closes and random re-boots. Then I switched to Graffixnyc's BlackJelly: Versions 0.6, 0.7 & 0.8.
I like the theming done in BlackJelly. But lately in V0.8, I've been getting random re-boots. I'm going to test drive Serinity next (probably flash it later today).
I'm really just hopping around sampling everyone elses theming until the official JB is released, then I will probably flock to the one I liked best with a stable ROM. By the way, I don't use any touchwiz, I prefer to use Nova Launcher.
I haven't tried any CM10 or AOKP yet. I'll probably do that when it moves away from nightlies (not that the JB leaks are more stable by any means).
I use liquid rc5, tried switching to pa 2.21, and aokp build 4, but nothing seems to work as well as liquid. New play store installed and working, and as well as jb flash player. Battery is good, but and i never had strong 4G where I'm at, and but I get 5 bars consistently here with liquid. I love it as a daily.

[Q] Which ROM for my girlfriend?

My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship, so I can't really help her when she has problems on her phone. I am currently with her and I've previously had AOKP and CyanogenMod on her phone. While they generally work perfectly fine, there may be issues that I can't easily diagnose from afar. What Touchwiz (non-AOSP) ROM would you guys recommend for long-term stability, optimal battery life, and features. Unlike me, she does enjoy Touchwiz....so using a Touchwiz ROM isn't a problem.
Suggestions?

My first suggestion would be to try several to see which one she likes. If the time isn't available, then I would suggest taking a look at Triune 2. Basically, a debloated stock rom with some custom tweaks. It's what both my wife and I run, though hers isn't as personalized as mine. And if it's important, google wallet works with it.
Try miui, its like android meets iphone and sweet themes. Its probably not the most stable choice though, despite how much it might appeal to the novice android user.
Aokp is very stable, I'm on slimbean right now and its been 100% stable so far. I haven't been on a tw ics ROM since the first few hours I got my gs3 back in july. Drews stock tw jellybean is pretty stable might want to give that a try too.
I've actually been quite partial to DrewGaren's ROM's.... currently Serenity 1.2 based on an AT&T JellyBean ROM for the Galaxy Note 2, and JellyBean747, based on the latest JellyBean leaks/official builds from other carriers.
As for custom ICS TouchWiz ROM's.... haven't really used one in a while since i'm hooked on JB... but i did quite like kyanROM.
I really want her to have JB as she currently has it and surely doesn't want to go back to ICS. I'll do a nandroid and have her try out the DrewGaren ROMs first and see if she likes those. Thanks!

Right now there's now perfectly stable stock touchwiz jb ROMs for our s3 yet as far as I'm aware, and may venture to say the aosp ROMs are more stable and have less issues. I may be wrong as I havent tried too many tw jb roms but have read quite a bit. Ariel 2.10 is a rock solid tw ics build and the upgrade to jb is minor enough I can't see why your girlfriend would mine it until a better tw jb ROM is out.

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.

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.

Not a Best ROM Thread

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.

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.

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

+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?

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.
