So here I am planning to flash CM9 this weekend, and of course JB gets released! Not that its a bad thing of course, but it just makes my decision that much harder. Does anyone have suggestions as to which I should go with and why? Please only post constructive advice with some facts behind your answer, no "JB FTW!" comments since this is a serious question.
Jelly Bean. The only thing I miss from CM9 is the integrated LED notification chooser. Light Flow isn't working correctly for me on JB.
For all the reasons here: http://www.android.com/whatsnew/ and more JB is a no brainer.
Maybe you should flash both and decide for yourself! I would go with cm cause jb is pretty stock rite now and if you want options jb will come up short vs cm..jb is very nice I ran it for a few hours but I can't handle the stock feel..
I find that most of the customizations in cm9 and aokp don't get used by me.
I have been running between aokp and cm9 for months. They are great smooth stable roms with great customizations.. If those tweaks are something you are really into then maybe stay.
Project butter is no lie.. JB is (for me) smoother in every day actions than cm9/aokp. New notification ui is great. Google Now is awesome and practical. You can still run custom kernels and over clock and have root... Just not those more in depth tweaks yet.
JB is the future... May as well go there as soon as possible.

Coming from CM9 to JB, I'd say CM9 for features, JB for speed.
There are some CM9 features that I really miss on JB. T9 dailer, lock screen weather, and lock screen shortcuts. But JB is really buttery smooth.
That being said, once the source code of JB is released next month and CM9 is updated to JB, I'll go back go CM9.
Are custom launchers working on JB?
I'm on cm9 but damn keen to try JB. Started d/l last night but stopped it at 10mb down. I'm stuck using 3g atm and a 250mb d/l will use up about a quarter of my months data.
Nova works on jb... Apex crashes for me.. But stock jb is smoother than both.

Once the JB source is released it will be in CM. I installed JB to give it a try but for the long run I am going to run CM.
I liked JB but there are still some apps that I couldn't get working most notably GTA3.

Nova has some quirks on JB. I went back to the stock JB launcher for the time being.
JB for now. The new features are amazing and it's butter smooth.

Jelly Bean. MUCH smoother, Live Wallpapers are lag free again (FINALLY), much better boot animation (CM is way too choppy, and the stock ICS one is just... no.) better camera, Google Now is freaking amazing, I could go on.
I hadn't even tried live wallpapers. Very nice. I have never been able to use them due to lag.

how's the battery life on JB? did the smooth ui have any effect on battery life?
has anyone tried both cm10 and jb aokp previews?
it would be great to know what the main features of each rom are as of now.

Is too early at this point to say which is better or which has better features. Both are very very young projects.
Boths looks like the same features, but personally i prefer AOKP because it has the option to change the nav bar dpi (euroskank aokp), but now im using paranoid based on cm10, im not using cuz' cm10 based but the awsome PA DPI configurations.

Its depend what you really want with your GNex. Each ROM have advantage
For me stock ROM that already Custom by someone is good enough

I'm testing the same thing. I just flashed the latest aokp, now I'm on paranoid android. I much prefer the toggles in aokp (I'm in minority here I know). But aokp is not working with hide nav bar app, yet cyan and all other JB roms work fine with this. So I'm sticking with PA for now.
Aokp is missing stuff still like color multipliers etc. But they have center clock etc. Cyan is missing center clock, but has screen multipliers. Cyan also has dBm signal, but aokp does not yet. So its a tough comparison. Cyan has more features. I'm staying with paranoid just to use tablet mode for now.
Can't compare the 2 like that. Both offer different things. From my experience cm has been smoother and more fluid than aokp but aokp has a lot of customization. I'd say cm is more stable but the only person who can confirm these things is you.

CM tends to be very stable and smooth , AOKP is great if your looking to make your phone a little more unique and personal.
I've found battery life on CM better than AOKP but over-all its down to what you want. Both work well, both work different.
Try both and make a decision
I am a bit new to Android and the GS3. But honestly I am already sick and tired of waiting for Jelly Bean as well as some of the problems of Touchwiz. So I think CM10 is the next thing for me. But I am unsure of the differencr between Touchwiz and CM10. For example I love the quick settings panel, the brilliang camera app and settings, Wi-Fi direct sharing (sbeam) , as well as the smart dialer and decent task manager. I just want to make sure everything will be better.
it's your call. i'd say you should try it out, and if you don't like it, you can always go back to stock touchwiz. just remember to read the op and the last few pages of the thread to make sure there aren't any unwanted problems to deal with. and of course, backup your current rom.

Stock Jelly Bean has been leaked. This will give you all the Jelly Bean goodness without resorting to a custom ROM.
You could also install the touchwiz launcher on CM10 if you like the TouchWiz UI. (I don't)
You can always flash back to stock ICS if you don't like where you end up. Just read the original post and make sure you understand what you're doing so you don't end up with a brick.

So if I tried it and didn't like it, I could just go back to normal and get updates OTA and everything.
Not all S3 are identical. The radio interface are slightly different, region wise. So yes , you can download a Samsung stock ROM off the Internet, it will not be exactly the same. Call and battery performance will be affected slightly.
You can use a backup to restore, it is the closest you can get to original, but rooted.
That it's the complete picture.

Things I like about touchwiz.
Movable home screens.
Little red flags on home screen icon showing unread status.
Social hub for Twitter and Facebook.
A working music player
Swipe right to call, left to SMS
Task manager, less of an issue in ICS and later.
Good alarm app
Best battery performance without tweaking.

yes, but not without some work. you'd need to either restore your backup and unroot, and remove the custom recovery or odin back to stock.

Yeah, the camera is brilliant.
Then I recommend Drew Garen Serenity rom! Its Touchwiz JB, its a GNote2 port, works great if you want the same TW features and more! (Gnote stuff), just use a launcher. I'm using tasks AOKP rom myself and its awesome

I've been stuck with AOSP. I love the TW/Samsung features, just not the interface. Coming from a Nexus, I just got comfortable with minimal. Slimbean, Aokp and liquid smooth are great base ROMs that are light.

The whole thing with that is I don't particularly care for Touchwiz. It kinda ugly and heavy with useless stuff. I just don't want to lose useful features.

yea im in the same position you are, i still change back and fourth because of features on TW that i miss and need often.
I am considering just flashing and trying it out and flashing back if I don't like it. I honestly don't mind Touchwiz, but I feel like if I give in and and wait, then I will just keep falling further behind. Perhaps Touchwiz is better now, but it certainly won't be in January
Touch wiz has too much overlay IMO. Liquid smooth is one of the best AOKP ROMs I've tried. But you will be missing out on Sbeam and everything Samsung related of course. But the sheer speed of aokp is a good enough trade off for me to lose just the neat camera and svoice.
I am using AOKP from Task and ktoonez, I love it but really miss smart stay and allshare cast to the point where I'll probably go back to TW JB once ATT actually releases it. Is there a JB ROM that includes those?
Hey guys,
Is there anyway to get the TouchWiz S3 camera features with one of the custom roms or just stick to a stock?
My brother loves the AOKP but he is insistent on having those default camera features/effects that came with the phone.

I've been trying a few new roms lately and I really like the LiquidSmoothe rom but I miss the swiping feature in my contact list to make calls and msgs on my stock rom. Is there an app that is similar to that or a good rom that using the swiping contact list. Thanks for your suggetions.
The only roms you will find this on are Touch Wiz roms that use the default dialer and contacts app.

Anyone have a good TouchWiz rom suggestion then? I saw a Beans rom on my friends Note 2 that looked nice but its only on Verizon S3. I would like one built on 4.2.1 and maybe with sphere camera. I liked how the Beans rom let you select if you wanted TouchWiz or AOKP. Help me Obi Wan!

A rom that let's you choose between AOKP and touchwiz... what?
I think what he means is it lets you choose between AOSP theme/launcher and a Touchwiz one. A good touchwiz rom is the JellyBean UCDLK3 The Devils Reject Edition v3, as well as Jellybean747 Version 1. If you really want to keep AOSP and 4.2.1 you can always install the touchwiz launcher/contacts app that will let u swipe across to call/message.

I'd also recommend The Devil's Reject ROM. Stable smooth and quick. I went to it from liquidsmooth after missing Smart Stay too much.

This is hardly a reason to switch to any rom. Just install exDialer from the store and boogie. You can get TW or AOSP style skins and there is an option to swipe left to SMS and swipe right to call the contact from the dialer screen. Just use T9 search from the dialer screen and you're set.
I recommend Darthstalker #X it's my DD and I'm running instigatorX kernel. Excellent battery life very snappy and VERY stable. Then I theme it via morphology it's very,very awesome. :thumbup::thumbup:
Morphed SIII "Get busy livin or get busy dyin"
I suggest Jedi invasion. It has awesome performance and customization and is a Touchwiz based rom.

What is the best ROM so far for Ace II for your opinion??
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
CyanogenMod 10.1 (4.2.2) by Team Canjica. Superb, stable, battery life is also good (16 - 24 hours in my Ace2), and most important is we can use all device's feature.
I'm also looking forward for AOSP 4.4.2 by @slv96
CM10.2 TC. Best that i'm use for now.

so what's the best? 10.1 or 10.2?
'cause I'm using JB stock now. and it's laggy. annoying.
Try them both...

You can also try this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389395
It frees up some RAM, which helps reduce the lag.
it increases your max usable ram to 624 if you have 482. what are you talking about? :/

I have used both TeamCanjica's CM10.1 and CM10.2. Both are very good ROMs but I'm with CM10.2 now and this thing's the bomb. Especially that it's bugfree now. At least for me. My phone flies with this ROM.

thanks for suggesting.
AOKP by PolishVodka 4.2.2 \m/
Sent from my SamsungXperia Zace2 lol.
CM10.2 by TC and LiquidSmooth 2.37 which it has been updated today are the best at the moment...no way!
IMO, Slimbean by polishvodka is the best ROM.
It has every feature of CM10.2 + transparent status bar. Tiny ROM, stable, good for daily use.
It just like using cm10.2 + more feature from slimbean.
It replace Carbon ROM as the best ROM because, Carbon is not stable enough, since it not yet updated. Carbon have Halo and Ribbon + every feature from slim. Slim doesnt have halo and ribbon.
Liquidsmooth animation is annoying for me, it looks so fast, extraordinary. I tried second build, it can't have transparent status bar alpha same with lockscreen. It weird when status bar alpha is 100% but the lockscreen is not.
I forget does liquidsmooth have Halo or Ribbon.
Aokp or pac or paranoid is to much feature. And i'm not using all of the feature, so think it just wasted (IMO)
For me, the best feature are from Carbon ROM. but the best for daily use is slimbean.

This is the first time I use CyanogenMod ROM and it surprised me enough with the latest release of 4.4.2 Yes, I'm using 4.4.2 and loving the performance I'm not much of a gamer, but more of a design kind of person. I used to have MIUI ROM and have to deal with the bugs but it's smooth in anyway. Haven't tried any other version below CM11 (CM10.2/3) though ~
CM11 may not be the BEST ROM for Ace II but it's pretty awesome when I show off people about my 4.4.2 a.k.a Kitkat phone besides, I've made major changes to my homescreen and I dont want to mess with that
Yup, latest versions of CM11 are quite amazing :3
? Wysłane z Ace'a II ?
Which rom is reccommended for gaming?
