I've been doing all that stuff on the last three phones that I've had ( Droid x, Droid 3, galaxy nexus) and I've done if for fun never because I had to do to something I didn't like about the phone. Now that I have at&t s3 I've not had the urge to do it. As of now I am on a rom but really thinking about going back to stock. I had to try out cm10 which was cool. But I think I finnaly have a phone that I feel is very good at giving me what I want. The other phones it just felt better on roms. This phone runs the smoothest and is the fastest one I've ever had, even the battery is great. Roms are fun but I got a little tired of all the setting up I had to do after downloading. Still kinda fun but I find myself putting on a rom then not being blown away with it like I used to be. I think the sg3 is that good of a phone. I would like to know if some of you feel the same way with this phone. I do think that I'm going to go back to stock and unroot as well. But the cool thing is that its easy to root again if something comes out that I've got to have. I kinda feel that there are a lot of people that have rooted other phones before but are not doing it now. I could be wrong I just don' see as many threads about it, at least not on other forums. Granted that this forum is mostly about roms.

I'll be using aokp as soon as it's ready. As for now I am quite content to wait for stability on stock.
-Hai guise I haz problems on the pre-alpha release and I don't know why.
Yea rooted stock flies! By far the best TouchWiz has ever been on any device! I like aosp but its not quite ready for daily driving.

Though I will probably try CM10, I actually have not even thought twice about changing ROMs with this phone. I've been happy with what I have, and it is as smooth as I could want. But ... who knows, that may change once CM10 becomes completely stable.
I was in the same boat - I couldn't stop flashing new roms and tinkering with my old android phones (DX, Inc., Thunderbolt)
Samsung did a great job with this device and touch wiz. I don't feel cyanogen is really necessary anymore. I will stay rooted because I want to. I don't like the adware that is involved from carriers plus carrier iq is horrible. Cyanogen and aokp were cool for older phones because they added features phones didn't have. But these days with the features and capabilities of phones these days. I think they are more for the minimalist. The I have had my phone using 1.6 gigs of my team and there was this no issue. I can say I agree that this phone hit the nail on the head. Good to see other people agree

Stock & unrooted - I'm satisfied at this point. It'll take one awesome Rom to get me to flash this puppy.

But I honestly think root is necessary. But mostly because I like my rooted apps.

I'd like to flash a rom eventually, but I'm scared of losing IMEI hahaha
honestly though, stock rooted is pretty much the way to go. I love AOSP based roms on my past phones, but I've always hated the android camera app, so I may be sticking to stock rom for a while. Jelly bean anyone?
I've decided to keep root just in case. Tw is a lot better then it was when I had the vibrant. Not perfect, but neither was stock on the gnex. I'm really curious what jb well be like with tw. So I say good job Samsung on making a phone that you can say does or almost doesn't need a rom. I would like to see a jb tw rom. I would try that out for sure.

This phone has really curbed my flashaholism. Although I do get the urge at times and tried cm10 and aokp. However at the moment this phone is great how it is. I just wish I didn't sell my sgs2 and could just flash that when the mood strikes

I don't want to lose the functionality of the phone suck as motion and what not, so until there is a fully function Jelly Bean ROM with all the camera functions, I will stay stock. I may root just to back up and use certain root apps.
i'm using CM10, but at this point i'm scared to even flash back to stock, because i DO miss the Touchwiz features with the gestures and all, but don't wanna end up losing my IMEI and all, especially since noone has completely pinned down exactly WHAT causes it to happen.... i'll stick with CM10, and then i'll take my chances flashing back to stock and adding a ROM once official JellyBean has been released for the GSIII, so i have JellyBean PLUS the Touchwiz features.
I feel is good and all I didn't flash rooms for two weeks after I got it, but now I'm rooted I dk I just like aokp and cm9 theme manager probably the biggest reasons I'm running aokp stock rom is not bad just the bloatware kills it

I've restored stock nandroid backups from CM10, CM9 and AOKP about 10 times. I really think the IMEI thing was overblown / made worse by human error. I wouldn't worry about it.
Anyway, it was interesting to see the AOSP progress, but they are a long way from matching the stability, speed and features of a properly de-bloated stock ROM.
I gotta agree with the majority here.
I too was a "flashaholic" when I had my evo.
No that I upgraded and I'm using a Samsung s3 for the first time I feel little need to root. There are a few apps I would like that requires root which would be the general reason why I would root.
The stock Rom is great for me as well.
Another reason why I held back rooting is the problem with losing mei/imei for the phone. I don't think it's over blown, especially when you read most of the people's comments who have lost there's and some of them aren't newbs.
Anyways Samsung did a pretty good job to curb my flashing habits.
Oh, there's only one Rom if I were to flash that I would want....paranoid android Rom.

I would have to agree. Stock rom is quite smooth (though I like some of the animations some roms used). I tried a couple roms, and they were nice, but I just missed some key features from stock. I am rooted on stock though, as there are some apps I really need/want.
Once cm10 is more stable and/or they make a dual boot kernel similar to the one for the sprint sgs3, then I will switch over. For the time being though, stock is amazing and I will probably stick with it for a bit.

ive had some issues with touchwiz fc on me nd ive never rooted... im running apex now nd i love it... no immediate plans to flash.. like one user said its gonna take one hell of a rom to get me to go thru the rooting process. This phone is solid straight from Sammy... sound is awesome, speed is awesome, gps locks within 2 SECONDS INDOORS!!!!! ... Not but a handful of things that could be improved upon but not worth flashing to me...
I'm just ready for MIUI. What CM9 wishes it could be.

I agree...I've had many android devices and each one I tinkered and rooted. For some reason I'm not too interested in rooting and flashing ROMS. Partly maybe because of the IMEI issue, but even before that came up, I was content with this TWiz. And I don't like TWiz, I'm more a Sense fan.
I say, good job Samsung!!

while it's only $100 at best buy. How's the development for this one (AT&T)? It looks like 9/10 of the ROMs have been abandoned and not updated for a month or more, is there some reason for this?
Anyway, if I get the SGSIII I will NEED
GPS that locks within 30 seconds, I get lost A LOT.
Working audio (no skipping or weird issues) from the 3.5mm connector
stable and doesn't crash or go really slow
Camera working enough to at least take clear pictures quickly
Do any ROMs do this currently?
Also a couple other questions. What can I expect for battery life, does it last a whole day with moderately heavy use? Any known issues that just come with the device and can't be/aren't currently fixed, like crapple's camera flare or my Infuse's terrible GPS (that got fixed with a relaunch and silent recall)?
Wtf. Almost every cm10 or aokp rom has been updated nightly. Most touchwiz roms don't get updated since they are close to being finished since there are no bugs on stock roms.
If you want it to work good run touchwiz roms. With battery I get 15 to 25 hours and about 4 hours on screen time which is pretty heavy use. As for bugs none I know of on stock. Everything works flawlessly.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
you can use aokp, Its great!
While the International version has a ton of roms, the I747 has a good amount of solid builds. You can have your choice of stock ics touchwiz (ariel), jelly bean touchwiz leaks (aristodemos, serenity) and aosp jellybean hybrids (aokp, liquid smooth, paranoid android). All work perfectly with GPS locking on within 15 seconds max. Never had a problem.

100$ outright or under contract? BB canada is 0$ on our crappy 3 year plan
Yea.... a lot of the TouchWiz ICS ROM's haven't had updates lately because there isn't really a whole lot for them to do with the ROM, since it was pretty much complete to begin with. Just about all they really did on them is remove bloat, add custom themes, and tweak some stuff here and there. The TouchWiz JB ROM's still get updated fairly regularly, since there are still tweaks to be made here and there, and things to be updated as new leaks arise. But stuff like Cyanogenmod and the different ROM's built off of it are updated daily or every other day or two.
Been using CM10 nightly and now on M2 stable build. I use it as daily driver and don't have any issues. You won't be disappointed OP
I'll give my two cents as I've had this phone for bout 4 days now and I am coming of iOS.
I am a fairly techy user. I I run Linux servers for fun. I am but never got jntk android because I figured I'd play with the phone more than use it and it would end up being broken half the time.
Immediately after getting it I rooted it and flashed the rom and have already tried CM10, two TW ROMs and whatever else I could get my hand on.
Ultimately for stability purposes I'm still on stock. The phone is really good in terms of use, and but be prepared to know that ROMing it is still an experimental thing and if you want it to work flawlessly, and you'll most probably sitting on stock (which is not a bad thing)

not to hijack the thread..
but is Ariel the ATT equal of CleanRom for verizon?
I'm on SlimBean but battery isn't stellar... so going to try my luck at a touchwiz rom.
I have a international gs3 9300 and an ATT gs3 and I run my Att gs3 as my main phone because tasks aokp jellybean ROM is hands down the best ROM built for either phone. The 9300 has many more roms than the i747. I bought the 9300 for the increased development and I learned the expensive way that quality beats quantity in the ROM department. Get the Att gs3 and root and flash tasks aokp and I guarantee you will be very happy.
I hope you got the phone today and I hope you enjoy it. Personally, I'm so satisfied with the stock rooted ROM that I've almost kicked my flashing addiction.
Almost.

You can look under the original development page for some good stable roms like SlimBean, PA, and Aokp. All function well enough to be a DD.

I agree with Jonny here... I too am running JB AOKP and everything works perfect. Task650 is always adding new commits and is constantly updating the ROM. Another point to consider... every phone is NOT created equal. The same ROM and kernel can run better/worse on one SGS3 to the next. You have to flash and try a ROM out to see how it runs for you because it won't be the same on another phone of the same model. Besides, what's stopping YOU from going through the development area and reading the threads like the rest of us have to do to learn what we need to? First suggestion.... don't be lazy and expect others to spoon feed you answers because you WILL receive backlash and grief. Do yourself a favor and SEARCH and READ anything and everything you feel is pertinent to your query. Spare yourself the frustration. This is just a word to the wise. No disrespect intended.

The GPS and Navigation is AMAZING on any Android phone.
Their Music app could use some work, however i do use the app PlayerPro
TouchWiz is pretty stable but i find gets slower with time and i think thats due to the fact that its running ICS. I would recommend flashing a custom ROM such as CM10 for JB which makes the OS run ALOT smoother.
The stock camera is also very good with alot of features.
Hopes this helps.
I am a long time Android and long time CM user. I have been using an LG G2x for way too long and finally got fed up with it. I have a brand new Galaxy S3 arriving tomorrow and am trying to figure out what to do when I get it.
For those of you have have used both the stock OS and CM 10, what are the advantages of each? By rooting and installing CM 10, what stock Samsung features will I lose? Are there any you think I might actually miss? So just in general, I was hoping someone who used both the stock OS and CM 10 for a decent amount of time could explain to me exactly what I will gain/lose by rooting and installing CM 10 on this phone. Thanks!
Not a good thread at all to start up man, just try them out and see for your self. Every one likes different things so it's kind of hard for us to just assume your needs... you know what I mean? Lots like both for different reasons, some always revert back to a stock rom some always go back to a cm rom.

Leave it stock but rooted for the first few days to see what you think. Many think the extra features and that its stable and fast are worth staying stock based. Still a lot of others opt for cm or aokp regardless. Just give em both their fsir chance!

That is why I didn't ask if I should flash CM 10 or not. I very simply asked what the differences were between stock and CM 10. I am wondering what features I will have with stock that I will lose with CM 10 and vice versa. That is a very fair question to ask of people who have already used both. I am trying to avoid trying both by going through a hassle and having to reinstall my programs and reconfigure my settings multiple times if I don't have to.
You lose all samsung stock features. That should be a no brainer. No motion activities, no smart stay (natively) no touchwiz, no wifi calling. Vanilla stock is what it always is, clean, no bloat, and super fast... what I said wasnt in any way being rude. It was exteremly truthful, and to the point.

Wifi calling doesn't work on CM 10? I have been using it on CM 7 for my G2x.
So do you miss any of those Samsung features? I guess are they gimmicky or actually nice to have? From reviews, I have read that stock is really fast, so not sure if I gain speed by going to CM. Have you noticed speed improvements with CM 10 over stock?
I know but its so deeply integrated into framework and settings now its a pain. And no I personally don't miss those gimmicky features, but allot of people do. I stick to tw roms, because of battery. It always seems to last longer on stock based roms for me. Otherwise I prefer cm based roms. Lets just say I'll be moving to cm as soon as I feel it is closer to 100% in my eyes. Or the nexus 4 lol. And the only way I can feel it being 100% is by me testing it, not asking others. That's what I meant with my 1st post.

I have to agree with mt3g here. AOSP ROMs are not the same as TW ROMs. I used TW for awhile when I first got my SGS3 and flashed pretty much all of them out there. I wasn't concerned with battery use, as I consider myself a battery expert. I was more interested in performance and features that were exclusive to TW and AOSP. They are so different that the only way to really get to know each other is to test drive them yourself.
Now I am on LiquidSmooth (AOSP base) and I love it. I am getting massive battery life, have tethering (I thethered my tablet to is almost all day yesterday after a bad flash [on the tablet not the phone]), Theme chooser springs a bit of life back into the eyecandy part. <--sometimes people flash not bc they want a new ROM but a new look .
Will I go back to TW? Sure. I tested Doc's ROM before he released it and I like it plenty enough to run it as a daily driver. But this is XDA and what are here for?
What do we want? A custom ROM
When do we want it? NO ETAs!!!! :cyclops:

Very well said. :good:
I personally never ever ran a touchwiz or sense ROMs on any device I've ever owned for more than a day. I just missed the full control cm ROMs give. Ever since my HD2 I've ran cm7 up to cm10 on my s3. I really never notice the features being lost from a tw ROM mostly because I don't use them. Never really thought their "advertised" features were all that.

I stuck to stock ICS TW for a couple of days and I didn't enjoy it.
It just seemed too much and I wanted a closer to stock experience.
Made the switch to CM10. Greatest thing ever.
It's simple, effective, and works in pretty much every way that I would like.
The only thing that I miss from TW is the Messaging app.

May I know why? I'm right now with the Galaxy SI and on CM10, hoping to get the S3 and on the same dilemma. Right now my Skype works well on the CM10, Viber works only on speaker phone.
Having tried cm 10/aokp as well as TW ROMs for extended periods of time, I can say the following:
Although at first missing a certain TW feature might seem like a drawback- the feeling comes from what you're used to, and after a few days or week you will likely forget those features which you previously had which you thought were so important. For me the TW calendar (s Planner) was the big thing I was missing- since for a while I really couldn't find a good substitute which looked as good and performed as well! Finally I found one, so now I don't even compare anymore, but even if I hadn't found a substitute I'm sure I would have moved on at some point.
Point is, base your choice on the majority of the benefits that you'll get from the respective ROM. Personally, I like aokp/cm10 precisely because of its overall simplistic aesthetic ( I'm in love with the native jelly bean fonts used in the notification bar) and its native ability to theme. In terms of performance and extra tweaks, there are plenty of custom TW ROMs which are on par with the aosp ones (IMO). So I think it comes down to the overall feel/look, and pure personal preference.

you will lose wifi calling, you will lose the ability to upload music straight from the music player to drop box, you will lose your mind, however, once you run a JB ROM and use google now for the first time, and you will go ape over the amount of customization available to cm10 users.
honestly, used "stock" for about 3 weeks when i first got my device back in july, flashed cm10, and never looked back. words cannot describe how amazing and feature-packed a cm10 ROM is...
flash hellfire 1.3 (if you don't mind the red), and give slim bean a shot if you don't want the red. I have had nothing but positive results with those two.
also, follow my guide in this section for the flashing process.
good luck.
WiFi calling
For me WiFi calling is the biggest feature, and extremely important. I don't have T-Mobile signal in my lab, where I spend most of the time and WiFi calling is the only hope. This is why I'm staying with the stock for now.
But if anyone can show me a way to get WiFi calling on CM10, I will be really thankful. Hate the stock rom from the bottom of my heart!!
-Thanks
The camera on cm10 is whats holding me back but once they come out with cm10.1 based on JB 4.2 then i think ill root and rom my phone.

Just a question... how often do you even use the multi-view lol? I just honestly don't see how/when it'd ever come in handy... besides to "show it off" but even then, our screens are not big enough for it really... hence why it was a Note II feature originally!

I thought I would never use it, but now I no longer use folders on my desktop, except for games. I just open apps (wether 1 or 2)from sidebar. I really use it more and more everyday. So theres not an instance where you wanna open an app without closing another 1. I use the sidebar to open even just 1 app, easier than folders to me.

Right now, I'm loving liquidsmooth rc2. Smooth, fast, and great battery when combined with the BMS kernel
I'm about to try peoples, it seems pretty nice. I was gonna try Liquidsmooth 4.2.2 but it doesn't have photosphere and I really love that camera!
You can always flash the stock 4.2 camera with photosphere. I did that and am currently using two stock cameras on my phone. I don't have the link readily available on my phone, but I'll try to get it to you by morning, when I'm back up on my laptop.
You could also search for it over in the apps and mods section, I think if you search for "photosphere" you can find it over there (pretty sure that's where I found it).

I'm currently running Pac v. 21.0.0.
Question, does this ROM have boosted audio? Reason I ask is because even when not using the built-in DSP Manager, my music sounds horrible no matter what music app I use. It sounds like its boosted a lot but makes my headphones cut out almost. I like to stick with AOSP Roms and like AOKP but would like a ROM with no audio tweaks whatsoever. Thanks. PM me some info. Thanks.
I would recommend liquidsmooth, if you don't run across the issue of reverting back to the the nv subscription after rebooting.Other than that, the rom is, so far, the smoothest rom i have seen as of yet.
With most 4.2.x roms, you are bound to run into a problem, either big or small, only because its relatively new. 4.1.2 is generally more stable because its been around for so long.
Liquid Smooth is now stable. HIGHLYYYY recommended. When I first started to flash ROMs I flashed like literally 5 a day... then I found Liquid Smooth a week into my flashing addiction and this ROM has cured my addiction. I have yet to flash another since Liquid Smooth came out (over a month ago).

Yeah, for me both CarbonRom and LiquidSmooth have been my consistent ROMs. The only time I flash other ones is when I'm trying to help troubleshoot problems for others here on XDA.
+1 liquidsmooth stable.
i am currently using Miui rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087638
i have also recently been using unofficial Carbon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2193751
but was on the port of AOSP 3.10 rom for the longest time http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142668
I'm also enjoying LiquidSmooth. I've flashed quite a few TW and AOSP/KP roms recently and this is the best so far. Zero problems (OK - one very minor aesthetic annoyance, but I'm letting that go).
On my note 2 I've had PA and I loved it. simple and easy but I just got started looking at serious developer ROMS since i got the note 3 and I don't have much knowledge on it and if PA is as effective as roms made already. So here are my questions:
Is paranoid android effective compared to let's say Jedi? And if it's not what's a good way to emulate it's features(such as hybrid)
Is it developed already for the Note 3? If not when do you think it will push out?
Since I've been modding with roms already made I have learned alot since my switch to the note 3. and I feel like I am way behind when it comes to developing and customizing(i just edited my first systemui on apktool last night) so it's been inspiring me to learn more. But i just love the simplisticity of PA.
Thanks guys! I look forward to becoming an active member on XDA!
PA is based on AOSP/CM. Until we get a built-from-source ROM available for Note3, you won't be able to get PA. IMO, the best thing in PA is per-app DPI, and you can get that with Xposed and the App Settings module. You also already have a better version of floating windows in the stock ROM.

If CM hasn't started supporting it yet, don't expect to see it on PA, AOKP, etc til then. Usually CM waits for recovery to be working on all variants before they start to really push for support.
Pay close attention to their gerrit here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/statuspen,n,z
But like I said once most variants get a working recovery CM and others will start to support the Note 3 in terms of AOSP ROMs. Right now, AT&T and VZW are both waiting for stable recovery. Usually once those 2 are going, since T-Mobile and Sprint don't really lock their bootloaders, it'll happen. Just be patient. We probably won't see 4.3 AOSP on the Note 3... more than likely it'll be 4.4 KitKat

Cool, thanks for the info! I figured that development on 4.3 for note 3 won't really happen. Kind of got stuck at the worst time to learn Android dev. Kit kat is supposed to be release soon i hope with the nexux 5. I guess untill then ill get to fool around with what is made now. And yes atnt and vzw are reeeeally strict on bootloading. Just one of many reason why i eventually switched to tmo!
Thanks by the way! Good info I didn't know CM and PA are related.

No problem. Yeah most AOSP based ROMs are based on CyanogenMod. Ones that aren't are ones that are built from pure AOSP, which usually are Nexus devices...

Yeahhh I guess it's best just to wait on it all. per-app DPI works really well and so does floating windows with touch-wiz, but, call me lazy, I would just like a way to have access to the windows without having to use the spen. But it's progress! For now I'm using the floating notification app which is pretty cool.

The better question is when will we be seeing the Illusion rom? Absolutely one of the best rom I've ever used.:victory:
I like the pen launcher, very nice little app. Well worth the whole 1.50 I think it was.

AOKP = My personal favorite. It's practically CyanogenMod with even more fluff! Just as simple to use, too! :good:

Wow that theme he's using is really nice.
I'll take any CM or AOSP rom right now. TW on this phone is nice, but I could careless any of the features of offers. I don't use.

I know right? After using CM for so long on my note 2, TW is so bloated. I can't wait either AOKP or Illusion to be developed for my device.
This time around on my Note 3, I'm not using any CM based roms. On my previous phone, a mt4gs from HTC, I was flashing a different CM based rom every month or every other month but on a friends phone, a Note 2, I had put Jedi Master on it and was impressed. So I waited a couple of weeks after getting my phone, watching what was being released and ended up settling on the latest release by jovi23 of his DarthStalker rom and have been impressed with it. My only complaint and it is such a tiny complaint too, is that he has 4x4/5x5/5x6 icon grids for the home screen but no 4x6.

Well Personally I use sslauncher and that solves my grid problems. And I guess it's people preference, I just don't like TouchWiz. To Samsung: Note 3: Awesomeness, Touchwiz: Score of Zero. I started on DarthStalker which was awesome, but then I got curious about the roms made recently so now I'm currently on Jedi Elite, which is good too. I think I may switch back to DS because I've noticed some lagginess on Jedi that I didn't experience with Darth.
Sweet OP type building cm and Pa for the phone awesome sauce..
