im going to root my s3 via root 66, i was wondering will i lose root if i flash a different rom? if not then what is a good, fast rom out there, im thinking liquid smooth rom!!!
Most roms have root already injected so you won't lose it. And liquid is a great choice.

Refer to my signature as there is no best rom, the reference guide.
Its all about personnel preference and what you want from the rom. For me my top touchwiz roms would be wicked, frosty, and freegs3. There all stable and offer great battery life. If you want an aosp rom I'd go for liquidsmooth as its very fast and stable.

im doing a backup right now of the stock rom, then im going to flash liquidsmooth and try that for a couple of days then try something else until i find the perfect one!
Since each person is different their definition of best doesn't apply to everyone. Hence no best thread. Locked
Cheers
From the moderator
The Best Rom is the one you like....... most roms are not all that different......... Do your research and homework and experiment with them all then you will know which works best for you.
.......So asking what is a best Rom usually starts a dialogue the goes nowhere.......Therefore.......

Hi everyone, just a simple question. I am looking for the best overall ICS rom for the T989 right now. Is it worth flashing now or should I wait for Jelly Bean rom or any other rom? Thanks for the help everyone.

I'm using Darkside Evolution 3 v7 ICS rom and it works flawlessly. Best ICS rom I've ever used.

So far Aokp is my DD right now I like to the stock feeling of ICS and not touchwiz

Ah dissenting opinions! So there is no de facto rom?
That's like asking what the best car is. Its subjective.

Let the flashing begin...
Personally, I've stuck with Darkside Evolution 3 (v7) since its release. Although it looks very stock, it's very stable with an amazing kernel and battery life.
AOKP and cm9 are amazing (I'll be flashing cm9 again once we get our release candidate).
AOKP feels like cm based ROM with a little more to offer but with that being said, neither feel as stable as a stock based ROM for our phones at the present time.
You'll always get a biased opinion so I'd suggest flashing some of the more popular roms by checking each thread and good luck buddy!

I've been wondering the same. Reading through the forums, I determined Darkside Evolution 3 (v7) was the most popular. It took a few flashes before I was able to get it working right on my phone, but it runs similar to stock. The only way you'll be able to tell if you like it is if you give it a try.
aokp..... more tweaks.... less bloats, stable, fast.

I'm gonna say AOKP. I've tried all of the aforementioned ROMs and I have settled on AOKP because of the amazing battery life, customization and the AOSP theme it comes with. AOKP has also become very stable as of recently, rivaling the stability of Darkside. I used to run Darkside when it first came out, but now I can't get over the very stock feel/look. If you enjoy the tweaking, I would suggest AOKP. If not, then go with Darkside. If you want something in the middle, go with CM.
+1 on AOKP and link is in the sig. Darkside is also a great ROM just depends on your preference of touchwiz or stock. Both are the top ROMs imo.
Either AOKP or anything DARKSIDE.

I find it funny anytime I see one of these threads and find it even funnier when I see how many people answer. Its probably easier to say what not to use....LOL
Lets be honest thousands of people use this forum and if only 20 actually answer this thread I am quite sure all of the dozen or so roms will be mentioned... This question is like mentioned earlier is subjective and no way can you find a definitive answer in here....
I hate stock but there are some advantages to it, I love CM9 but also enjoy some of the tweaks of AOKP... I just load them all up get them to how I like it and nandroid them all... Problem solved
OP good luck but instead of reading our crazy posts get to flashing
AOKP
I am on AOKP Milestone 6. Was gonna try Darkside, but liked aokp and dont see any reason to switch.
There are few things that will not work with AOKP.
1) WIFI calling
2) Audio out via the car dock.
If those are not issues, try it out.
Just swu tch from verizon to tmobile ( cheaper and better coverage I. My area) I had beans rom on my s3 for galaxy I have know idea about all these roms on tmobile phone. So im telling you guys, if you can tell ne what is the best rom for tmobile galaxy S3?
Ps: galaxy S3 or note 2?
Personaly i use wicked v2.1.
Frosty jb is great too.
But try rom and stay on your favorite one
Envoyé depuis mon SGH-T999 avec Tapatalk
It all depends on what you want from your phone.
If you want stock based rom with all/most futures of original phone, I recommend FrostyJB. I use it and it's really good. Wicked is also good.
If you want simplicity, android 4.1.2 and you don't care about some stock functions of the phone, like motion, then go with cm10. I think paranoid is also based on that and it has some cool futures.
It all comes down to your preferences. Try some roms and stay with the one which makes you most happy.

this is always true but trying to get recommendations these days is nigh impossible lol thanks! I would prefer a simplistic rom with most if not all available features across roms besides customization, that's neat but i prefer speed and functionality.
Choco is correct! PK is da BOMB try it

ParanoidKANGdroid is the best. It has tons of options and is very customizable. The ROM is also really stable and efficient. Check it out.
The S3 because it has a better size and is still very high end. Perfect.

Basicly all futures made by Samsung or Samsung exclusive. Like motion, smart stay and video in smaller window.
I haven't tried liquid but I heard good things about it.
Personally I recommend FrostyJB with kt747 kernel. That's what I'm using. It's very fast and stable, also it has great battery life.

Kipster is right. Every rom has it's pros and cons. And it's unfair for devs to say which rom is best or worst. Everyone of them put a lot of hard work and free time to give us their creations and freedom of choice. For me the best is FrostyJB but some people who wrote here have different opinion.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Kipster is correct, it's always hard to say which rom is the best because all the devs do different work and for someone to say one rom is better then the other is really unfair to them.. They spend alot of time making these roms available to use users and really don't ask anything but for feedback and maybe a small donation for there time.. Best thing to do would be to read up on each rom and read the reviews from other members then find the one that fits your personal needs and give it a go..

I've only tried a few but have stuck with Wicked and am currently running the latest release: Wicked JB v2.1 and am loving it. It just works and gets great battery life. I'd say test out Different ROMs and decide which one you like the most. I occasionally try out different versions but always go back to Wicked, however you may like others more.

I appreciate the work that all the devs put in to each of these ROMs. I'd love to run blackjelly but unfortunately I cannot figure out the data issues I'm having. So I'm searching for another ROM like it. I've already flashed quite a few but I want to see which other people are finding success with.
Any suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I too, was running Blackjelly for a while and liked it very much. I then tried 'Jedi Invasion' and that just seem to suit me better. Everything works, no issues, very smooth.
I will add that some have had problems with version 2.1. I flashed 2.0 and it was great so never bothered to try 2.1, fwiw
i just flashed liquidsmooth jelly bean 4.1.2 RC9 on my s3 and I really like it. super vanilla!
If you like Blackjelly, i assume you might like Slim Bean it's like blackjelly in the way that they both have that dark theme to it (i've personally never tried it, nor have any experience with it)

If your looking for a good touchwiz ROM like blackjelly try ultimatum s3. Great battery life buttery smooth and rock solid stable
Yes there are so many different roms to choose from jellybam, AOKP, AOCP The Collective, Jedi Invasion, Serenity, Cyanogenmod, etc. etc. So it is all a matter of personal choice i would just research the different roms and see which one suits you best
here is a vote for aokp!
And here's one for every single ROM. They're all good, but if you want touchwiz, drewgarens ROMs or Jedi invasion is the way to go

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..
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
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

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..

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
