Hey everyone I am wondering what the best rom is for the galaxy s3 sgh i747. But before replying please read this entire post. I understand that there are different roms and it depends on what you like, but I would like an opinion with facts and I am going to leave it up to you guys to be mature and repect everyones opinion and not turn this into a flame war. Now when I say best I mean in means of the following:
Stability - Most important because we don't want our roms crashing all the time
Proformance - Speed and battery life, may not be the fastest rom or the best rom to hold a charge but the key is a good balance
Features - This is a mix between quality and quantity
Productivity - If the Authors of the rom are no longer working to develop it then let's not dwell on obsolete roms
Bugs - Of course another biggie is the bugs because it can be great but if it's riddled with bugs there's no point
Thanks guy I appreciate your time, I figured I would ask this because I work two jobs and would like to update my rom and I don't have time to flip through the mediocre roms. **This is not a thread to hurt anyones feelings lol**
Vanilla Rootbox might be what your looking for.
Graviton for stock modified or vanilla root box for custom.
Graviton is about as stable as you will get.
Dandroid is amazing too

I agree with the other two. vanilla root box definitely the best IMO.

Best rom - Task650's 4.2.1 AOKP. Hands down. No contest. Yes, that's just my opinion... but hey - you asked!
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Task650's AOKP is definitely the best in my opinion (based off how I use the phone). He addresses any potential bugs quickly (which are few) and keeps the updates coming regularly...something you will never get with stock.
Ultimately though, each device is different and how each user interacts with their phone is different, so what ROM will meet all of your requirements can vary.
Task650 ROM. Rock solid! Never had single reboot. Love it

CM 10.1 is now flawless. Of Course -> IMO
Please follow the forum rules.

hi im new to all this rooting and flashing roms and right now i have cm10 installed and running smoothly but i want to get android 4.2 and i want to know what the best and most stable rom out there is the last time i flashed the rom i used goomanager and did it only using my phone so if possible a rom that i can find in goomanager and also can i also have touchwiz installed i liked that about the stock s3 and the rom i have right now doesnt have touchwiz...thank you
I have used root box slim and task and I keep jumping back to tasks 4.2 ROM. You gotta try them yourself every phone seems to work different and you won't know until u try..

More or less you just have to research about each different rom and see which you think fits you best. Read the threads and comments, bugs, fixes, updates, etc. Watch and read reviews and pick one you think does what you need it to.
OK is it better to get the nightly builds or stable builds... I don't want a lot of crashes
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
If you don't want a lot of bugs and such i would go with the stable builds.
You wld have to read the change logs to see.. But I would stick to stable.

Task650 4.2.1 ROM is by far the best out there, he is one of the best developers on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684&nocache=1
To reiterate, your best bet is to test a few for yourself. I personally am a huge fan of Task650s AOKP 4.2.1. It is perfectly stable and full of options to suit your needs.
i would also recommend tasks aokp 4.2.1 really smooth daily driver
i have the same question, what rom can you recommend? battery life is a big factor for me. thanks.
Task's is good yet I really enjoyed vanilla rootbox as well. I'm not a huge fan of the look of AOKP in general but either would be a nice place to start. If you do decide to go back to a 4.1.2 ROM all your files are stored in a directory called "0" so you will need to use a file explorer to move them back to the main folder.
task's 4.2.1 for sure
For me, toss up between Root box and LiquidSmooth
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
For me rootbox
SGSlll AT&T
My advice is try them out.
No one phone is alike and no one user is alike
Battery and performance rely more on the user than the kernel/ROM
Don't expect the battery to last days if your screen is going to be on A LOT..expect a couple hours of juice..
And don't expect maximum performance with out a modified kernel and trying to conserve battery.
I'm on RootBox with KT kernel all balanced out...
Try your own OC/Voltage setting to what you'll be happy with
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
No ROM is best because no 4.2 has working bluetooth Lol but yeah I think out of the available options, Task's for sure.
i think i have a bug or addiction to flashing new roms i am all new to the android scene and i have had my phone for about a month and all i do is swap rom every other day. Iv'e got the bug man!! the best rom i have found that works for me is the Wicked rom Port from T-Mobile i had 1d and 5hours use on a full battery the other day i also like the galaxymod rom too but cant get reception i did at first then lost it on the second day
those are my 2 favorites if you like TW based roms..
A search would have answered this. Thread closed

Hey there I just got my girlfriend a galaxy S3 and would like to know what is the most stable ROM for daily driving? I'm using CleanROM for the note 2 and it's amazing. Was wondering if there is something as simple as CLEANROM?

Ya that really a loaded question and can get you a lot of fanboy answers. You best bet would be to show her some of the diffrent roms there are and the features they have. Then let her test drive it and see what she likes best. Thats what it alwasy boils down too. Not so much the best ROM but the best ROM for you as the user.
look around in the Android Development section if she's more into the stock S3 look and feel. some great options in there like i747z and CSROM

Definitely a matter of personal choice. Whether you go with my Intergalactic ROM, enewman17's, upndwn4par, or even more that I have not mentioned, chances are that you will receive a good quality experience on this phone. We all work together to make it better as a matter of fact. Take a look at each thread, flash a ROM, make a nandroid backup of your settings if you like it, try another, come back if you preferred the last one. We are fortunate to have many talented devs here who dedicate themselves to making this phone the best it can be. Good luck and regards.
I can't say "most" since I haven't tried them all, but these have been my favorites - simple, very stable, great battery life, de-bloated, no BS, just work great:
ICS - KyanROM
JB - Ultimatum S3
i like cyanogen mod but I am currently on Liquid Smooth RC2 4.2.2 rom and so far so good
Hello I've been using touchwiz based roms and feel like using a more vanilla based ROM and was wondering what's the best build and that is glitch free. I'd greatly appreciate your commentary

"Glitch Free" is a relative term. All 4.2.x Roms have some glitches, but there are many glitches that I overlook because they don't affect me.
That being said, the best way to find out which Rom you want to use is to try them out! The three that I always cycle through are:
LiquidSmooth (this is my base, I flash others to compare it to this)
Slim Bean
Carbon Rom
Now there are other ones that people have said good things about, including (but not limited to):
Deviant Xone
PAC Rom
Hope this helps, even though I basically just replicated the front page of the Original Android Sub-forum.

You can't really have a "best" ROM. The effectiveness of a ROM depends on the user. Every user has different needs. If you're looking for the most stable ROM out there, your best bet is staying on stock touchwiz. If you're looking to try out AOSP, you'll have to flash a couple of ROMs. I run Slim Bean build 3. The newest build is on Linux 3.4 and I have found bad battery life. Build 3 was released only a couple weeks ago. Using dkp kernel and Slim build 3, I have found these to be my "best" setup. I am finding very little bugs and I have great battery life and performance. You'll have to flash a few ROMs and kernels before you find out what works best for you. Have fun flashing! Good luck mate

@OP
If you're asking for a "best" ANYTHING, you should think twice before posting. As said, this is all relative. It depends on your usage, your definition of "stability", and what you consider to make something "good".
When I say the "best" I mean exactly what I said. What is the best to you and there are many ROMs that are very stable. But what's the most stable version of that ROM.

To seek the impossible dream, to reach for the unreachable star,..... Your asking a question that only you can answer for yourself. If you search you will see this has been asked 100ds of times in these forums and most of these threads get locked.

OK, I used to flash ROMs like it was my job about 1.5 years ago on my Galaxy Vibrant. When I got the SGS3, I decided that I was just going to root it and leave ONE ROM on it and leave it alone. I have been running AKOP Milestone-1 for the longest time.
Now it's time to flash something new and STABLE. I am looking for a ROM without any fuss and not a lot of bugs. AKOP Milestone-1 has bugs and I am finally tired of dealing them. Not have NFC has become annoying now that a lot of my friends have a NFC capable device.
As a community, what would you recommend for me to use as a ROM? What is the best kernel to use as well for this phone?
Thank you in advance....
This is a disguised best ROM thread. There are literally hundreds of threads just like this one. It's always an opinion. The only correct answer is: try them yourself, through your own trial and error, find the one that works for you.
If you don't want to update all the time, AOSP/AOKP is not for you. I will tell you that much.
The best, fully functional, most stable rooted ROM for any phone is a stock rooted unmodified ROM running the stock kernel. If you're looking for tweaks, add-ons, etc., you have to choose for yourself. Absolutely no user on here can advise you on that.

If you don't want to update often, then go with a touchwiz based rom. They work great, have nice mods, and are super stable.
I've used Wicked and Stockorama. Both great roms to me and have never let me down.

Users are expected to read the threads to make their own determination as to what is "best" for them.
Red, study, ask questions in the appropriate rom thread, and appropriate of use PM's is suggested.
General Discussion posts clog threads and get cloudy with arguments.
My Spring Note 2 is currently stock rooted, and I'm thinking of beginning to start downloading and exploring some of the rom's out there. But before doing so, I'm wondering is anyone has any advice a pros and con's of each one, or maybe interested in starting one? Not looking for what the 'best' may be, as that's a personal choice, but more of a feature list, etc of each rom.
I would really like to test the Jedi rom, but unfortunately it is not available for the sprint note 2.
I have use lots of aokp roms as well as touchwiz and my experiences are that aokp roms losses signal a lot % 20 percent of areas I have use cm, carbon, pacman, paranoid,stock aokp and all of them seems to be the same but paranoid and pacman have a bit better signal, now on touchwiz roms you will not see that I recommend macks rom or lab rat rom for me this 2 roms are stable I have try many more but some of them have to much theme. I hope this help you if you have any question let me know as I have try lots of roms Thanks

Or u could do what I do, which theres probably many like me. I am stock rooted well almost I flash many mods from this site or found in other roms so its like building your own rom things such as themes, kernels mods like the bravia engine.

If you want the latest version of android use a AOSP rom. I highly recommend it. Carbon ROM is super fast, smooth and has great features. Good benchmark scores paired with plasma kernel too.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
All roms have pros and cons, but only the individual user can make those determinations as all users are different.
Threads like these get closed as the always spiral into arguments about which rom is best, members are expected to do their own research and reading to determine what it is they want.
