I just bought the SIII on Thursday and have been in the EVO line for awhile now and don't really know what devs to keep an eye on... I am looking for a good Kernel that will allow me to clock, volt and if possible w/ sbc! Any and all suggestions are welcome as I will probably try them all... Also are there any stable ROMS that I should take a look at as well?

Freegs3 that's honestly all you need no need for underclocking or anything with the cpu the rom is fast stable I haven't been found a bug yet it has a ton of support ton of people willing to answer your questions and you will get 13+hours of battery with a few minor adjustments

Freegs3 is that a Dev or the name of the Kernel?

Its the name of the ROM. Its by freeza. I consider freeza a dev to keep ur eye on.
As far as the kernel goes, if your on stock(or any touchwiz rom) your choices are limited but the best kernel for battery life is the stock kernel anyway.

Jamal717 - So, you like the Freegs3 ROM? I haven't tried it yet...I'm not a Sonic fan...I'm concerned Sonic pics would be themed within the ROM. (Are they?) Maybe I should give it a try, though. So far, I have flashed:
1. JellyBomb Domination, v7.0 (Decent)
2. JB Goodness, v4.0 (Fav so far)
3. Frankenstein KilLJoy, v1.0 (Current ROM...enjoying it)
I'm still new to rooting, so I am not even attempting the under/overclocking kernel piece yet.
Sent via the XDA App from my SGSIII running Frankenstein "KilLJoy" v1.0
So I get that Freegs3 is a good rom but what about for stock users?

I tried Freegs3 not bad although there still wasn't much on yhe the under/over clocking and voltage I really hope someone is working on a solid S3 Kernel besides me
SAMSUNG MOMENT CHECK
HTC HERO CHECK
HTC EVO CHECK
SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII PRICELESS
i'm on freegs3. i didn't want a themed rom full of tweaks and stuff that don't benefit me, that's why i went with his. it has auto update capability, and the few tweaks that are included you can choose to install or not during the install process. the only sega themed item is the boot animation, which you can change if you want very easily, he gives a list in the thread. check it out, it's definitely more stable than my stock rom was, it was crashing every 5 minutes. this is great.

I just got mine and was wondering is it worth rooting becausr stock is already fast and stable
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It's always worth rooting.
Right now, the performance increase isn't the biggest reason, because this phone can handle anything we through at it with ease.
The root_only features, however, definitely are.
Backups, tethering, painless restores, themes, ad hoc wifi, and all the other goodies that custom Roms provide really make a big difference.

You really should check out the juggernaut rom and also faux123 kernal. I can't express how much faster the sg2 runs and no stuttering or lag. The phone also has much better battery life it's really amazing. Also no spying carrier iq, no bloatware etc. you can free wifi tether. You can over clock or under clock. My phone has never worked so good.
Definitely recommend the following:
Load cwm recovery
Install latest juggernaut rom 4.1
Install latest faux123 kernal
Not required but also install latest modem kl1
If you do then install swype beta keyboard
I use go launcher highly recommended.

DOOOOOOOOOO it!!!! You'll love your phone twice as much. There are some awesome themes and roms. You can make it even smoother than it is. Go to dev section after and try gingersnap with either kernel. Smooth as butter

That's a tough question mate. There really is no best. Its a matter of figuring out what you want and what roms do that the best. I recommend trying them all. Personally I'm a cyanogenmod fanboi and I try to run it on pretty much everything I own.
Sent from my Hercules with xda Premium.
main reason u should root and install a custom rom is BATTERY LIFE! lol u more than double your battery life, get all the bloat out of your phone, CIQ etc, plus you do get a performance increase, and its more stable than stock.. hands down best thing you could ever do to your phone.
Just got my wife an Epic Touch 4G, I wanted to install CM9 on it, but I don't see it anywhere? I want something stable, with good battery life. What ROMS do you recommend ? can be TW/AOSP, as long as its STABLE and everything works. Shes rocking stock ICS on it now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815854
I use that rom as my dd. Its calk's worked baked in to ff18 with some other stuff. Its almost stock feel. Most bloat removed. Ton of mods.
There is another awesome rom called blu kuban. Not sure if it fits your needs. Its super themed with awesome blue and black colors. Has its own kernel with a ton of cpu tweaks. Blu kuban is like the ultimate rom.

You could also try the "black" ROM, it's very stable and has a great battery life. It is off of ff18 right now but is going to move to fh13 soon.
Its funny how much this question gets asked. I would read up thoroughly on how to flash Roms and root or whatever it is you you want to do and go to the development section read about what is going on and how to install whatever ROM you want to try and try it, see how it works for you and if you don't like take it off. Trial and error is your best bet just make sure you aren't blindly flashing and installing stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Qbking77 has a lot of helpful videos on YouTube also.

Also the most stable ROM is going to be the stock ota updates of course all of these Roms are in development obviously so as each one says on their page there is some issues with every single one.

That's not true by a long shot...
The reason we started making our own ROMs was the instabilities, short-comings, and plain mistakes made by SamSprint in the stock ROMs.. you know, like the eMMC brick bug? That's a far cry from stable imo..

Hey XDA
Ok Im new to rooting & I only haved rooted to the Wicked Rom as of late, didn't even try to go forward with their red/blue theme or bloat loader level 1 or 2 because theres no directions on even how to do it so w/e
Basically Im looking for a pretty basic stock mod either with ICS 4.0.4 or Jellybean. MY MAIN concern is all the stock functions that I should be able to use with the phone, (wifi calling all the way to motions).:good: 2nd BATTERY LIFE :angel: , 3rdly, all around FAST & SNAPPY Not too worried about the overral lay out because I can use nova or go launcher to my liking... & of course, ZERO BLOAT WARE
CLIFFS OF RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS:
CWM Flashable
ALL stock functions.
BATTERY LIFEEEEEE
Fast & Snappy response
ZERO bloatware.
Would greatly appreciate the help, I searched around but not one any1 wanted these specific layout of priorities.
Thnx in advance!
Cheers~
Pretty sure the wicked themes are flashable. Although wicked v4 now uses aroma installer which lets you choose the theme, kernel, and bloat levels. Always be sure to back up before you do anything.

thanks but you know what? seems like its not that great on battery life IMO.
Depends also on what kernel you choose. Many say trinity and ktoonesz kernels are the best with battery life. Also check out the xquizit or crimson roms and Look through the threads and try to find what you prefer. Try to Go through the whole thread because many questions have been answered in previous pages.

No problem man. Good luck! Be sure to back up, factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik when switching between ROMs. (Make a habit of it )
Flash to latest stock via Odin, root and install titanium backup and remove the bloat yourself.
Honestly I am very impressed with stock! (I am running CM10 though)
Experimenting with kernels would be good, though they may break functionality...
All of those stock features that are so cool (motions) are battery consuming... though I have had consistent good battery with this phone. Coming from EVO 4g with 3500 mah extended battery that didn't last much longer...

Hi all,
This is my first venture into Android and I must say, I these are incredible phones, and I am very excited for the future of mobiles again!
I've tested out a few ROMs so far, and while the ASOK and cyanogen mods are more my thing, the ROMS out for them are not (still buggy as a daily driver for me)
On the other hand the stock rom for this phone is awesome. All functions are working fine and I haven't had one hiccup yet.
Anyone know another ROM that is as stable and possibly in JB. If not on JB but a batter rom that I stock which is still on ICS?
Thanks for your help!

CM10 Monthly builds are also quite stable. I've been using it for 2 months now. Also if you like the look of TouchWiz and want to stay on it but remove the Samsung bloatware, you could use the debloater tool or use Titanium Backup to freeze system apps

I'm currently still rockin the stock ATT ROM. It's rooted and a few AT&T apps are frozen. That said, I am a flash head by trade and normally would have flashed a number of roms already. I have flashed a couple but ultimately referred to my nandroid back to stock. Ok.. So.. I am curious as to whether there's a kernel out there that will improve the stock feel. Can anyone on the stock rom offer up any suggestions?
Perhaps I should have posted this in Q&A. Whoops. Mods please feel free to move it. Thanks.
