I've been looking and... There's not exactly a best rom out there but I'm looking for something with a Good battery life.
So, let me know what rom are you using with kernel if you guys can help me. I'll appreciate it! Thanks.

There really isn't one good one. There are tons of great ones and to be honest all of our phones are pretty different chipset wise believe it or not so what rom may seem good for me might not be good for you. I personally switch between frostys and darthstalker which are both pretty good on the battery. You want better battery? Buy an extended battery for $20-$25 and you'll never complain about having to charge again.
Look at my resource guide, in my signature or stickied in general. We don't know how you use your phone so we can't tell you how your battery is going to be. Try yourself, and mess with settings for your needs.

Look at mt3g's Bible thread. That is why it is there.
All ROMs are subjective. Nandroid and flash them and see. Read the OPs and last 10 pages in the thread for bugs and whatnot. Like what you see? Grab a drink, sit down and start reading.

hey all, i know this is prob an annoying question but im looking for the best, least buggy rom for the sprint s3. im going to be rooting my phone within the next 20 minutes and i would love to hear whats the best rom out there for us.
SS odexed blue holy grail is a good one in my opinion. Its been running smooth for me and great battery life if you and in ktoonsez kernel in it. Try it out and see if that works for ya.

"Best" is a relative term.
But I prefer to use StrongSteve's Blue Odex.

Depends on what you want. I prefer a stock touchwiz, but I love AOSP Cm 10 because it is mostly stable. If you like to customize though use AOKP.

In before lock!:good:
This thread will be going to the graveyard. Due to opinions varying so much and everyone using their phones differently,There isn't really a definate Best rom.. Nothing against OP or anyone else in here. But i know the mods lock atleast 3 of these a week.

Just look around. Some people find 4G unnecessary while others dont, so they consider no 4G a bug. This is very subjective and I highly doubt that anyone but you would be able to state a rom that matches your needs and usage. You could also look around, there have been at least 5 threads in the past week where people have asked this exact same thing.
They are all the best. This is why these threads are closed.
No one can tell you what is best for you. You have to try them and you have to read like everyone else did.
Thanks

well, I got brave and rooted my S3, and was looking to go further by trying a rom.
This is my first smartphone, so I don't have a lot of experience with different models, but I like touchwiz, and enjoy S voice and search google via voice to text. Actually, there is not a lot about this phone that I don't like. That said, I always believe a product can be made better.
I read a post somewhere a few days ago where someone commented that they had tried a variety of roms, but ended up going back to a modified sammy rom because Cyanogen and AOKP roms removed all of the stuff that made his S3 special. He commented that it made it feel like a 2 year old Nexus. Not having tried any of these roms, I cannot vouch for the truth in this, but it makes sense, and I too want my S3 to be "special... plus"
Some of the things I'm looking for in a rom are
keeping s voice
a toggle mod
some debloating
Beats audio, or similar
I would like a translucent status bar (is that what is called?) .. the thing you pull down from the homescreen
Free GS3 might be an option, but its a T mobile port, and I'm not sure about it.
any recommendations are certainly welcome.
Thanks...
Re: [Q] ROM Suggestions
Welcome to android!
Before a mod shuts this down because these types of threads don't get to stay and your in the wrong section as well. I will tell your best bet is to read, read some more and then try some out. There a lot of great roms but your the only one who will know if its right for you.
Good luck!

I did run across a similar thread, but of course it was a general android question, not specific to At&t, which is what I have.
This is very simple if you want a reliable non bug all features working rom... just stay with stock... all other roms are not perfect, they will give you some but it will also lack on something, I have try them all and always come back to stock.

Thanks, I had considered that possibility, but thought I would ask.
Q&A Should be where questions go. I would also say there are many solid stable roms. Read, read and try as many as you want. All phones are not 100% the same and your apps and setups can effect how it runs.
Good luck

There are multiple threads in this (General) section and the Q&A section. Please search and read those threads for opinions, options, etc. Moreover ROMs are a personal choice, and are subjective to user experience. I'd suggest making a nandroid backup, flash a ROM, if you don't like it, restore your backup and try another.

just an example. 5 minutes in google docs. That will help me and other users. Is that really hard to make and attach to big main thread?
Stock is always best. I personally think the extra features in custom roms are worth the slightly less battery life.

Wow... Unless something is lost in translation, it sounds like you really aren't interested in what XDA-Developers is all about. While there are numerous knowledgeable folks here who will happily help others and answer questions, it's not a place to drop in and have people serve up just what you want to know on demand. If the answer to your question were truly a "cut and dried" affair, then you'd likely see some information in the Wiki listing "the best ROM / kernel combination for battery life", and all of the conversations and ROM / kernel experiments and tweaks relating to that topic would be moot. But that's simply not the case. "Best" will differ across users and configurations, depending on usage patterns, installed apps, strength of 3G / 4G / Wi-Fi signals throughout the user's day, etc. Whether or not you, personally, care about the feature sets that custom ROMs offer, most of the folks here do, in fact, care -- and that's why many of us are here. That's why the developers put in countless hours researching, developing, testing and tweaking their ROMs, kernels and utilities.
Finding "the best" will be a different search for each user, based on unique circumstances and interests. That's why it's so great that there are, in fact, so many choices here. But making the best use of the site requires that you be willing to read the discussions, do some searching, and then perhaps ask questions in various discussion threads that will help you find out what you hope to learn. If you're not willing to do that, and if you dismiss 90% of the development effort here as being pointless, I'd suggest that you probably won't find what you're looking for here.
Battery life is what it is on the Galaxy Nexus. I havent really seen THAT big of a difference with all the ROM/Kernel combos I have tried. Its the phone itself. If you have that big of a problem with it, I suggest getting an extended battery or a new phone.
You're right. You should take your questions to those forums. If you think any policies are going to change just because you complain about them you are clearly not the type of member XDA is intended for.
Jesus dude stay stock and quit wasting everyone's time with useless threads.

Nobody tells you that you must try every ROM.
What's the difference of all the ROMs for Nexus:
- Another "ROM developer"
- Different features
- Different look
- Different experience
- Etc..
If you like to complain about the things then put even your thread to Q&A section!! -_-
I am using my modified STOCK Android ROM and battery life is great so stop complaining and use Android phone with stock Android OS or go to use iPhone with the same firmware which almost everyone iPhone user uses..
And also Battery life doesn't just depend of "Kernel", also many other things affects to battery life.
that was a difficult read. so i didn't
My suggestion go with a ROM that is pretty much stock AOSP, and not AOKP in your case. Stick with a ROM like KALO's that is just basically the AOSP Stock ROM with almost no mods, if you worried about battery life.
I mean we could tell you but we'd have to kill you and that's against the XDA rules.

First of all "castom" isn't even a word. It's CUSTOM. Second, it's not really a good idea for noobs to take it upon themselves to blast people like you just did. This is a DEVELOPMENT forum. Just because YOU think a ROM is useless doesn't make it so. And seriously, if a MOD thinks a thread needs to be closed, it's closed. Period. Again, just because YOU think it shouldn't be doesn't make it so. Finally, don't expect to be spoon fed here. It's not tolerated well, and "Tell me the best ROM" threads generally aren't either if I remember correctly. The best way to learn is to read read read. There is a wealth of info here. Most people figure out the best ROM for them by reading and testing.
Chill out and start educating yourself on what this forum is all about.

Lola.. this dude is funny.. Blasting people because he don't know to get good battery life instead of learning and trying different things.. Cm10.1 m2 and lean kernel. 3.5 screen on time Is plenty for me. Don't blast devs hard work that they do for free just because your lazy to learn.

Wow he really went on a rant there. This place is full of great information. I say go buy a flip phone or be ready for some trial and error. Every phone is different, even if it is the same model every phone is different. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa. If you can spend a lot of time customizing then you can spend some time figuring out how to get better battery life.
3 to 4 hrs screen time for a phone that's got more CPU and ram than my first computer......not bad

Thanks.

First, i am going to assume someone will complain about this posts location...
Second, that’s a hard question to answer... No phone is created the same... So you will find many times a ROM will run perfect for one user, and just so so for the next... Its really all about you... What works best... Taking the time to flash and drive a ROM for a few days is always the best option...
That said, Tweaked 2.1 found here is by far the best Touchwiz based ROMs... It doesn’t rely on Aroma... What it does have in Aroma are all nice, clean mods that work the first time... On top of that... Tweaked Aroma works a little differently... You can set it once, it makes a backup of your preferred installs... And keeps it... That way next time you flash, you don’t need to do Aroma all over again... All of the work to the ROM itself are done with actual coding, making it far slimmer than the rest...
If you flash it the right way, it’s a onetime flash... Go be happy sort of ROM...
PLEASE, for the love of god... Do NOT take this as me bashing other ROMs... This is just my preference and thoughts... If anyone has a different point of view, SUPER RAD for you... Don’t get all bent over a barrel about my stance...
Look my friend, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but this in no way development so should not be in this section. There is a section labeled Q and A for questions.
Having said that these what ROM threads end up getting locked because they're pointless and end up in bickering and arguing.
There are like 10 current ROMs. Just read them and some peeps comments. When you find one that sound good, make a backup and flash it. If it isn't what you want restore your backup.
One last tip the 4.2.2 (AOSP) will have the most bugs and from what I've read worst battery life. So focus on the TW based ROMs. I went ahead and reported this thread so it can be moved before you very flamed. Please just pay attention where you post on the future

Also, please take this to the Q and A section. Better yet, we should report this so the mods move it. We don't need another one of these threads opened.

So my Q is this: What is the best all around ROM that is stable and give the best battery life / performance?
Thanks,
Just a heads up this thread will most likely get locked.
The correct answer is they are all the best. Try them all till you find what you like.

Well I don't understand why that would be as I am probing as a new SG3 user for information but in any case, thanks for the info.
BTW:
I don't really want to just try one because I may just go with a different phone if I don't feel like I can get the battery life and performance with stability I am after. Thus the phone will still be in factory condition so to speak.
Battery life and performance have to many variables to say one person's will be the same as another.
Sent from a planet far far away.
Like speed said your best bet is to find out which one works best for you. some roms absolutely suck on my phone while others love it on theirs. And vice versa.

The problem is that what is best for one may not be the best for another. Asking vague questions about battery life and performance won't really net you the data you need to make an informed decision. What sort of battery life and performance are you looking for? Even then, how you use your device may impact the performance of the ROM compared to how someone else may use theirs.
I view custom ROMs as something for people who like to take their device and tinker with it until they find a sweet spot that suites them. There are some very good choices but what will be best for you is for for you to decide.
Well stated by experienced and helpful users, thanks all.
