Go to the dev section, read up, and learn for yourself!

Lol my friends sgsiii is really fast and not even rooted so im just wondering if i would see a performance difference if i rooted and romed

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.

This is a great answer because in the big picture of learning what to do so you can help yourself in case of any problems in the future this is the right answer.

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.

Jedi knight 6 is super fast and stable I seem to always go back it it after trying others.
I have tried liquid smooth, cm10, UNICEF and some others I Dont remember. I'm going to try Jedi jelly when the next version is released.

[Q] Best JB Rom? opinion based.

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.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk 2
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.

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?

You're going to get a lot of different responses.
My favorite? FreeGS3, but I won't stop trying others, I just prefer it overall.
There's none. All ROMS are great. It all depends on personal preferences.

I have found paranoid kang droid to be very stable and has great customizations. I have used the latest touchwiz ota, wicked, cm10, and pa; and have settled on pk as my daily.
What is pk?

All ROMs are the best for those that use them

We do appreciate the hard work developers contribute to our Hercules community. Other users preference is not a weakness.
I'm up for it. This seems to be the one rom that my phone works the best with and battery life is fantastic. I've tried several ICS roms and while I really like certain things about them, for whatever reason, they don't always play nice on my phone.
get it

CleanROM if you want a very minimized but very fast/smooth and stable stock experience.
SkyNote for a fast/smooth experience while having lots of customization options (clock, notification bar transparency, hold back to kill, etc.) Jedi Rom is also great for customization as well.
jedi, clean, skynote, one of the miui, novella, ultimate, amospherium, hawkish, clearn rom SE, the list goes on and on when it comes to touchwiz based roms..there are even more than the ones I listed..
Ive actually heard of those but I havent flashed all of them. Im actuay hopeing to find a touch wiz rom that has a good bit of customizing

Hi, you must be new..... This question has been asked before under the General thread. You are posting in Apps and Themes. Forum Mod should remove this post and move it to the General area (Though, again, it's been asked before)
