So I know that ROMS aren't only for looks. I know they're good for making the system run smoother and heard in some cases, it can save battery life. But unfortunately I never liked any of the looks of the ROMS. I remember having CM10 at one point and crying to get back to the stock ROM. So are there any ROMS that are better for the phone but still give you the original S3 look?
Yes, and you can find them in the Dev forum.
Which rom do you think will be the best?

Depends on you, but I like LiquidSmooth ROM
Freegs3 gives you the stock look and runs great. Only negative to that rom is that it hasn't been updated in a while

....ahh here we go again with "that" question...the one you will neva eva eva get a straight answer to....my advice?.....READ, READ, READ, read, read, and read some more and when you feel comfortable make a choice...try it out...if you are not happy...try another...and so on and so forth...
I believe they are all great ROMs but there are some YOUR phone is gonna like more than others...that's the best answer I could give you. Luck homie.
That to me is an unaswerable question. Its like asking what undys should I wear today to your buddies. Not really a question anyone but yourself could answer lol.
Ok im teasing don't hate me lol. I guess what I mean to say is what ever rom feels that meets your needs.
I have flashed over 5 roms in the last 3 weeks and I finally found one that fits me. DS Rev.7.
I suggest to flash a few and see which one is your favorite. Or just keep flashing til you burn something out lol.
Hope this helps

I so agree with you bro.... the devs are just doing all of this for free. Which ever any of us use is just icing on their cake. To them it just means that their knowledge has paid off.
Too many choices out there to make one single decision. Carry 1-2-3-8 roms in ur card. Choose a diff one everyday of the week. And one day it will make its mark that the one your using will meet all your needs. Until then........ PLEASE!!!!! Read instructions and follow devs install guides. Their there for a reason. Don't be one of the many that post treads about how they didn't research and ended up with a paperweight.
Thats my .02¢
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I don't mean to sound politically incorrect here. But I don't think devs do this for us at all. If I had the talents to dev my main reason for developing would be my own personal gains in being able to improve the experience with that shiny new device I've been wanting. Then after I would upload my work for anyone else if they wish. Hopefully cash in some sweet donations if my work is THAT good. But I will never ever believe that devs do it "for us". All devs are hackers. And hackers all hack for the same reasons. Personal gain and attention. Just my 2 cents.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
And I'm on Hellfire JB which is feeling stable and great to me. I remove some "bloat" (in my eyes it is) and I'm happy with it... what you need to do is test them all out for about a 2-3 days to test battery and then switch to a new one to see what it feels like and to test battery again. Over and over until you find what you like. Me personally I like AOKP but trying out new things while everything is moving so fast for these roms. Once you flash official CM10 a new AOKP is out and so on so its hard to base these roms and say which is best. Try them out and you will find what works best for you. Also this thread is frowned upon. Lol.

Seems like in general if you want good battery life go with a near-stock ICS rom, frosty is a good one but there are several to choose from. I'm currently trying serenity 1.2 LITE right now, it's pretty nice so far but I've only been using it a few hours.
After finally getting rooted yesterday (woohoo!), I flashed Stock sX v3.0. Awesome.

I would try anything from Wildchild. He mods stock ROMs both ICS and JB and they work great. I'm running the Xquizit xD v31(JB) and couldn't be happier. You can find it in the gs3 development forum.
Battery life is good and v 31 comes with all the tools you might need. You can also flash the Kitchen v 10 with it to customize your ROM.

Temporary do to someone stealing his work and it is a downer in general, besides we are on the verge of Official JB. So no point in spending so much time working on a rom that will be rebased and redone all over.

Also, does this banned ROM have a smooth handoff between 3G/LTE/WiFi?
I ask because I have flashed several AOSP and AOKP ROMs and they all seemed to struggle for signal strength (thus, draining the phone battery much faster than a TW ROM).

Touchwiz is not an easy thing to tinker with.....plus it seems here that the majority of people don't care for it......so the demand for it is very low. In fact, there's only like 3 or so custom touchwiz jb roms...vs tonnes of aosp.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
You cant port something without a base...we don't have a base for 4.2 touchwiz yet so we cant get s4 roms. Also like @kj2112 said its not easy....have you ever wondered why a touchwiz rom is 3 times larger than an aosp rom with gapps baked in?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Also....custom tw roms only have a few extra options usually....cause there is really only so much you can do with them.
Check out xposed. There's a lot you can customize with it. Just do a good nandroid first. Sometimes I find exposed can mess things up.
