[Q] Best JB Rom? opinion based. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Well guys, I know there isn't a lot of stable JB roms out there.
But based on YOUR opinion and experience which ones are the best? It could be AOSP.

Actually most of them I've tried have been pretty stable. I'm on paradroid right now and everything is smooth.

Sprints official jb port is by far the best one.

Read those threads and see what people post the most of. Being spoon fed is shunned here. It only takes about 5 minutes to skim through the last 5 pages and get an idea of the ROM.

I've tried. Trust me lol. I just can't get convinced since some users have bad experience on it. I'm very familiar with android, so I was planning on asking someone whos running it.
Btw, I couldn't install PA.

Why couldn't you install PA?

4+ hours of screen time with lean kernel

I personally have been using Deviant Dev FrostyJB_4.1.1-v6. It is really fast but not has fast as Wicked ICS v7 Rom. But I just love the Frosty Jelly bean the only problem I am having now is that whenever I restart my phone it switches the default keyboard back to stock and not swiftkey 3.

i've been jumping around from CM10 nightlies, PA 2.23/2.51/2.52, and Liquid Smooth RC7... trying to find a good battery.
out of the 3, i like CM10 the most, so i'll probably go back to CM10 nightlies, if not CM10 M2.

My fav have been so far Frostys and Paranoid Android, Im currently using the Sprint Jellybean release which seems to be to basic compared to those mentioned.

Latest cm10 nightly for me
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

does CM10 have a lut of bugs? or its a every day ROM?

That's actually an amazing idea I like that. I didn't download or install it but if I were on like a stock rom that would be amazing to choose from all those features. Jk3 has most of the features already tho

My wife's Epic is stock rooted GB and has been very stable. I had great luck with CM9, also very stable with nice features. I'm on CM10 now, and install the latest nightlies. Battery life with CM10 has been better, but every so often it sucks battery. I've had two or three reboots in a couple of months. Otherwise I have not had issues.
I guess right now my vote would be CM9 of stability is the most important thing.

Don't really run cm10 mods too many bugs but that's good to know. And for some reason anytime I flashed a cm or aokp aosp rom my phone would get super hot with Normal use, but not with tw roms. Weird.

Probably a test build for someone and it wasn't good so they removed. And just a friendly heads up, I wouldn't do that again unless you are very comfortable with what you're doing, or don't mind spending the cash to fix it afterwards. Patience is your friend

My suggestion would be root it and then get flash happy for a couple of days, until you come across the one that best suits your needs. There are many options and everyone has there own preference. I prefer PACman myself.

Rooting is for those of us who like to mess with our phones. Too root your phone and then throw stock back on it in some cases makes no sense. If you are happy with your phone then dont touch it.
Everyone's rooting experience is different so asking others will only give you some false info and some true info. Again only way to find out is to do it for yourself. Go into development and read up on the roms and see which one makes you go damn this looks nice and flash it
You cant recommend jedi jelly to a noob...it still has a few issues to be worked out. But i do suggest rooting and flashing roms. And asking whats the best/most stable rom you're going to get alot of diffrrent answers. Just try them for yourself.

Yes.. Unfortunately there is NO post other than this one.. If you go to the CM website depository and go to d2tmo you WILL see it.. I was on the 12/09 nightly and last night "dirty flashed" to the 12/12 and everything is great for ME!.. I used internet, SMS, calling on a daily basis.. Yes this is GENERAL usage but that's MY experience.. And its been FLAWLESS.. Let's keep this thread alive since a LOT of ppl and devs have moved onto another device.. I say that because I gave my wife my old S2 and there seems to be MORE support from devs there than here.. She's on a good 4.3 ROM and has a option for 4.4 (I haven't flashed cuz 4.3 works so well for a older device).. I love my s3 and when my wife gets the new Note3 I'm keeping the s2 cuz its a underrated device just like the HTC Leo was/is..

Don't take me for an expert, but the CM website says to refer to d2tmo, so I believe it will work.
Battery life looks alright over here as well.
We do, however, need to get WiFi calling on this so that those who rely on it (not me, but others) can update to this.
