Samsung special functions on custom ROMS???

Hi everybody!
I changed my HTC Raider on custom ROM for a Galaxy s3. The original rom on Galaxy s3 has a lot of features like smart stay. But now I'm looking to install a custom ROM but I don't want to lose the stock nice features by installing a custom ROM. Can you tell me if I will lose these features on most custom ROM or not?
Second, does ROM 4.4 Kitkat ROM have those features?
Thanks guys!

Users need to take the time to read the roms and products in the development sections to see what features are available, reading and research is expected of users to make these determinations.
As XDA is not a support site, and as this thread could easily become a "best" rom thread, it is being closed.

Looking for a Custom ROM most like stock for Galaxy SIII

Hello all,
I am looking for a custom ROM for my AT&T sgh-i747 that most emulates Samsung's 4.3 Stock ROM. I am looking for all the features and functions that the stock rom has with all the rooted goodness.
Does such a thing exist?
Thanks in advance for your help

I recommend the deodexed version to be able to mod it easily.

This should be in the Q&A section

These type of threads get closed as they become discussions/arguments over which rom is best.
The question you pose is only one you can answer by testing, reading, and interacting with those members in the development threads.
As XDA is not a support site, members are expected to do their own research and experimentation in these matters.
Please head over to the development sections and enjoy,

You are not going to get an answer to that question on XDA.
1. "Best rom" is a personal opinion
2. People are not going to claim a best because it kinda takes away from some devs who put a lot of hard work into their roms.
Download the available ones and try them all out. That's your answer.

The best advice we can give is to try a few and see what works for you. Different set ups give different results. Even with the same rom. It's why we don't allow comparison threads on xda. Our devs out in a lot of work to give users choice.
I've closed this, but enjoy trying some different builds.

There are not many Custom Roms at this point.
Developers are still figuring out Exynos (drivers and such), so development will be slower than devices with Snapdragon.
You can find the couple available for both WiFi (T700) and LTE (T705) on the Android Development Forums.

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to reply, what would you advise assuming you have one of these, do I just root and block ads for now or flash a rom and hope for the best?
Cheers

Root, play around with xposed mods. Custom roms are not essential at this point

there is currently no custom. the one that i compile for t705 are only a debloated roms with minor tweak...

From another point of view. ...
Your ROM is still "custom" using a modified Samsung base. Other CM AOSP etc are "custom" using a modified Google base.
The use of the word "stock" and "official" probably go hand in hand.
Edit: back OT, I suggest the OP to read up on the instructions thoroughly given by each ROM Dev/cook before flashing. Back up your important data off device first

What is TWRP (and how do I put it on my tablet, App?)
difference between Kernel and ROM (and how to implement each)
chainfire doesn't have a nexus 7 2013 5.0.2 lollipop listed as compatible, is it rootable? (What tool to use?)

Have you tried looking into some of this stuff yourself yet? These are very basic questions that can be answered by Googling, or by reading the sticky threads. I'll give you some quick answers but I highly suggest you try and learn as much as you can by yourself first, and then come back with more specific questions. Members of XDA are more inclined to help when we see that you've put in at least some effort to help yourself first. Anyway-
TWRP is a custom recovery and it is what allows you to flash custom ROMs, kernels and various other zips. It is also what you use to make nandroid backups, which is something you're going to want to do before you flash ANYTHING at all.
A kernel is the part of the OS that allows the software to communicate with the hardware. Custom kernels can increase performance, potentially get you better battery life, and also allow you to overclock, undervolt, etc...
A ROM is essentially the operating system of your tablet. There are a bunch of custom ROMs available and they all have their own set of features, themes, etc... Check out the development section and read some of the ROM threads and you can see what some of our wonderful developers have cooked up.
Don't use any tool to root your Nexus. In fact, don't use any tool for anything. If someone recommends to use a toolkit for something, don't. You're going to want to learn how to use fastboot. Read the stickied guides in general, they have all the info you need on rooting, you'll find it is actually quite simple.
Stay away from flashing anything that isn't specifically for your device, or that hasn't been tested on your device. Make regular nandroid backups. Nexus phones and tablets are incredibly easy to mod, and incredibly difficult to brick. If you use a little common sense when doing things, you'll be just fine.
Hope this helps.
