Hi guys, so I can pretty much do anything, I've been rooting for a long time. So should I root now? If so, which Rom would be best? Thanks in advance

Best way to find out what's the best rom is to try them out people can say one thing about a rom and you can think something else,
Root and rom away, and welcome

This.
Save yourself from any future headaches and head on over to Peoplearmy and GeeK's threads and back up your IMEI with both methods just in case.
I ran with stock rooted for a good week after getting my GS3 just to make sure there weren't any defects (since stock is the most stable).
Pardon my ignorance, I know what imei is, but if things go wrong, how will imei be involved?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Some people where having issues and there imei was lost, there's a tool to back it up in development section just back it up you shouldn't have issues I haven't seen people inquiring about lost imeis lately,

For some odd reason, people have been reporting that their IMEI information on the phone was wiped while flashing ROMs through recovery. That information isn't supposed to be touched, but nobody has really found out the reason why that data gets wiped during the flashing process for some users.
When this happens, the phone loses its ability to connect to your mobile network (because it has no IMEI information to present to the network), so it's essentially an iPod. Last week I randomly lost my IMEI from restoring a nandroid backup from CWM (luckily I backed up my IMEI information and was able to restore it within minutes), but I've heard people saying that it happens on TWRP as well.
I'm not saying that it will happen to you whenever you flash a new ROM, but when it comes to these things it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Also, welcome to the SGS3 forums . Leaving the childish drama behind in the Amaze forum alone was worth the upgrade for me.

Trial and error always the best course with roms. I would root mine was rooted a few hours after I pulled it out the box.
Very easy to do and with our development section well worth it.

I will be holding off as well. I'm kinda satisfied at the moment with what Samsung has provided. I don't like the bloat and I miss my root apps. But I think I'll be just fine for a month or so.

Been waiting on my sd card from amazon that arrived today. I'm trying to hold off rooting until TWRP is ready.
I'm amazed I've lasted this long without rooting, but like others above I'm holding out until I can 'fully experience' the stock software Samsung tossed out there. I didn't want to drop 600+ on a new phone and not at least give the new stuff a try!

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I was under the impression that the only way you could get a bad imei is if the phone was lost or stollen.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Well back when the s3 originally came out we had a bunch of people randomly lose their imei. I would show up as just 0. And there was no efs folder to back up because it no longer contained imei.

My honest opinion we should skip 4. x anything... and demand 5.0.. And android 4.2 on my nexus 7 was not a nice thing...

I agree with sticking with what works but a lot of the people around here that can't do dev work truly believe that the newest is always the best, and that's not always the case. Android 5.0 may be just around the corner, who really knows considering 4.3 was just released for the Nexus line and in development for the S3, S4 and Note 3 (and possibly the Note 2).
ICS was a big step up from GB, and JB over ICS. History has proven the the next big version is not just better but A LOT better. But I have to ask, what could or would you possibly change to make Android that much better to warrant a major change over Jelly Bean?

Basically the stuff ive read from random sources online, its gonna be more aesthetic stuff but will also cut down on cpu usage. Making it more streamlined and less power hungry, meaning the newer smart phones will run smooth as silk and battery drain will be minimal. Obviously some features will be added, but i didnt read of anything revolutionary. Hopefully theyre keeping that aspect under a tight seal. I feel like theyre going to increase interaction with multiple devices now. Integration of all peripheral devices seems like the next "big thing".

Its not up to samsung. Updates are from Google and the carrier.

Correction: Samsung still needs to add Touchwiz and the "S" features to whatever Google produces way before the carriers even get to cripple features by adding bloatware.
Yes, as you said, samsung adds whatever they want, then at&t decides if a phone model gets an update, so, as others have said, its up to the carrier. Google decides if the processor of the phone continues to get support.

I've interpreted this to mean that you are saying that the official release is the 26th, but a leak may appear days before.
Does anyone know if DG tweeted anything to say otherwise?
If we get kitkat I could definitely hold onto my Note 2 for another year and not use my upgrade yet.
