Best rom for T989

Im new here. I just saw a closed thread asking what teh best rom is for T989. Ive used a bunch and can say without a doubt the Juggernaut and Slick Mod 3.4 is best.
Dont even bother with the ICS roms cause they all have really bad problems.
When installing appps they would not work right . The camera wouldnt work right on some.
The audio would echo on some.
The screen would be ugly on some.
So.
Try out the latest Juggernaut and the Slick Mod 3.4

I run Juggs also but this is subject is pure opinion. For example, Juggernaut is not the best ROM if you want to try out S-voice, since that only works on ICS. I hear all sorts of great things about Darkside as well. That thread was probably locked because there is no real answer to this question.

Juggs doesn't work well for me. I've installed it a few times over the last few months. No workie. TDJ's roms OTOH are flawless.
That said, the reason these best ROM threads are always closed is because its subjective and personal opinion. Just like the op. Pure opinion.
In before the lock.

^-What they said and, this community is based around development. The only way developers can truly improve their "products" is if good people like us test it out for them and report back any issues. That is the point of all of this. If you are fortunate enough to dl a ROM and everything works beautifully from day one, GREAT! However, you should consider that the exception and not the rule.
Asking others to avoid newer ROM's or those that are still in development only serves to hurt the entire community by breaking the development cycle at it's core. Software development takes time and dedication to make things come out right and the testing/debug phase is arguably the most important. Enjoy your "functional" ROM's but keep in mind, they work as well as they do because of this phase.

best rom right now
Jedi mind trick ROM is the ****** lol go get it!!!

^ What he said...Currently running JMT v4 and liking it...a lot.

it's all a matter of personal opinion and preference. My first DD was darkside evolution 3v8. But once JB hit the scene I really haven't had a DD cause I'm enjoying helping the community in a whole to make better new roms for new experiences on our device. So in a nut shell, just dive in bro and enjoy the ride. It's well worth it!!!!
But then again, that's just my opinion as I stated from jump.
SGH_T989 (Hercules)
TWRP 2.2.0
AOKP JB 8-14
TDJ's Venom 7.2 (AOKP)
UVLE1 Mod Radio

Darkside Evolution Venom for me - it allows for wifi calling as well.

jedi mind trickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk trust meeeeeeeeeeeee lol hope yaa enjoy its stable to the max

^ See, he knows!

hahaaaaaa we everywhere shutting it downnnnnnnnnnnnnn :good:

Yea Jedi Mind Trick is definitely one of the best ROMs. It's super fast and looks great.

Jedi-mind trick!
it does not have all additional languages. I'd like to see Chinese language to this rom(it is in the list and can selected, but it isn't fully translated).

Ya know...best rom is in the eye of the beholder. I've used almost all of them and think that they all have their ups and downs. In reality that's something for you to decide for yourself. Its kind of like pepsi and coke. I like pepsi and you may disagree and like coke.
Have fun with it, shouldn't be about social pressures to have what everyone else likes. Play around and decide what did YOUR style.
K...stepping off the soap box.
:beer: cheers
sent from my T989 full of CM awesomeness and a touch of Venom from the Darkside!!

Jedi mins trick is one of the bet ICS ROMs. But I recently switched to AOKP JB ROM and it is really cool. It is butter smooth and has Google now completely working. I have been using this ROM for 2 days and so far no issues !

I'm using Jedi v.7 and I LOVE it. I was on Juggs for the longest time because I didn't feel the ICS roms were ready for prime time, but Jedi changed all that for me. It's butter smooth and Fast. Battery life isn't the best, but with such a responsive rom, I can sacrifice some batt life for performance.

Possibly buying SGS III today

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.

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.

[Q] Should I Install CM 10?

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.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

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.

Pretty sure there is an app for most of the samsung features.

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.

Do you use Skype, Vox, or any other VOIP app? If you do, then don't flash CM10, AOKP or any other AOSP based rom.

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.

Help with finding a rom?

So i rooted my phone a year ago (about) and never did anything with it till now. I'm starting to get the jist of things, but i realized most of the roms that look good to me are for international versions of the Gs3.
So here we go, does anyone know of a ROM with better battery life than stock, android 4.2.2 (optional), a smooth feel and keeps the phone fast, takes up little ram, (OpTiOnAL: pie control I can get it without the rom but it's easier built into it)
Now it does not need to have all of these, just letting you know what I'm looking for
I also have tried liquid smooth and didn't like it. I'm current on Paranoid android 2.54 on android 4.1.2 and not really liking the battery life
One thing that I absolutely need is good battery life, and I'm not quite sure what kernel to get and if I have to under clock it myself or something, or if I can just flash it and that's it

The People's Rom, or Mother of All Roms.. Try them out.. Pie control you can always add later, Both are 4.1.2, plenty of options of themeing (Via Morphology), Kernel choices as well. YMMV on any rom depending on use. But give them a shot see what you think. Ktoonz is the kernel that give most customizable options.

There are 2 ROMS that I know will work for you as far as battery life. They both are also TW stockish. One is TPR and the other is MoAr. One note though ALL phones are different and everyone's taste is different. Both ROMS use Aroma installer so there are options and both are also Morphology approved.

You know I'm all over this like a fat kid on a cupcake Taz. Still love ya tho.

Best bet is to make a backup in CWM or TWRP and flash.
Try each one for a day as no one can tell you what is best for you
Every ROM is the best for each user but they found them by flashing a few
Then deciding what worked for them.

Best Daily Driver?

I've been on Wild for the Night for quite a while now. I made a brief detour back to 4.1 when the OTA roms hit. It was nice to have my speakerphone working properly and to have all my microphones work when my screen turns off (I like to record myself whenever I do public speaking). So to go back to 4.1 and find those working was quite pleasant.
On the other hand, I found most of those roms had bugs of their own that made them almost impossible for me to use.
So my question is really, what's the most stable daily driver out there? I see a lot of 4.2.2 variants these days. I've messed around with a few of them, but have yet to find one that's really clicked.
I don't really care whether it's 4.1 or 4.2.2; I really just want everything to work and run smoothly. What do you guys recommend?

Just try some of the Roms in Android and Original development. They are all great! Most of the stock based roms have no bugs whatsoever. Enjoy trying out ALL the great roms out there!:laugh:

I'm really liking the Dirty Unicorn rom by ktempleton... Everything worked out of the box for me. Used the 5/25 build.

I'm using Liquid Smooth by ktempleton right now and I've encountered zero bugs after a few days of use. Battery life us great as well.

All of them that are optimized for battery life + performance can be used as a DD, you just gotta find the right one
that fits you like a driving glove.

Kobridge's stocked insane optimized.
Any of the 4.2.2 roms updated recently with Lightning ZAPPed kernel optimized for balanced battery and performance.
Look around and keep them all in mind my friend. Because it takes getting used to switching all the time until you hit
that sweet spot.
