Yes, you just need to flash the rotation fix zip which can be found in the dev section. I don't know any good ROMs on the Skyrocket, sorry :S

Thanks. Just curious. On jellybam now & really liking it.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1nightly builds.
These builds are based on Android 4.2.2. The last 3 builds have been running pretty good so far...

[Q] Best JB Rom? opinion based.

Well guys, I know there isn't a lot of stable JB roms out there.
But based on YOUR opinion and experience which ones are the best? It could be AOSP.
Actually most of them I've tried have been pretty stable. I'm on paradroid right now and everything is smooth.

Sprints official jb port is by far the best one.

Read those threads and see what people post the most of. Being spoon fed is shunned here. It only takes about 5 minutes to skim through the last 5 pages and get an idea of the ROM.

I've tried. Trust me lol. I just can't get convinced since some users have bad experience on it. I'm very familiar with android, so I was planning on asking someone whos running it.
Btw, I couldn't install PA.
Why couldn't you install PA?

4+ hours of screen time with lean kernel
I personally have been using Deviant Dev FrostyJB_4.1.1-v6. It is really fast but not has fast as Wicked ICS v7 Rom. But I just love the Frosty Jelly bean the only problem I am having now is that whenever I restart my phone it switches the default keyboard back to stock and not swiftkey 3.
i've been jumping around from CM10 nightlies, PA 2.23/2.51/2.52, and Liquid Smooth RC7... trying to find a good battery.
out of the 3, i like CM10 the most, so i'll probably go back to CM10 nightlies, if not CM10 M2.
My fav have been so far Frostys and Paranoid Android, Im currently using the Sprint Jellybean release which seems to be to basic compared to those mentioned.
Latest cm10 nightly for me
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
does CM10 have a lut of bugs? or its a every day ROM?

Are we closer to 4.2.1 than we think?

Do not attempt to flash a AT&T Skyrocket on your Hercules. That's just asking for trouble.

This.
Obviously you guys havent been around long. When ICS was first leaked for the skyro, we all flashed away and had no issues at all... other than a wonky rotation. User yaldak(I believe) made us all a rotation fix and all was well.
The only difference between the skyro and the herc is the lte radio, and the accelerometer orientation.

samsung hercules, samsung skyrocket and samsung celox are bases from each other, so yea, they are the same in kernel, board ( all of them are msm8660 type).
Well now that we got that partly settled, yea they got a lot of their top devs on it so hopefully they make it compatible
They still have to make it compatible for hercules. For example if u try flashing blinky revenge then it won't work. He didn't add the extra step
So yeah we can flash every rom and Kernel from skyrocket as long as we use a rotation fix after and that they add the extras to make it compatible

You're going to get a lot of different responses.
My favorite? FreeGS3, but I won't stop trying others, I just prefer it overall.
There's none. All ROMS are great. It all depends on personal preferences.

Honestly all ROMs available are pretty solid especially if they are touchwiz. Aosp(ish) roms are also pretty solid as well. Not mention its really easy to root and flash ROMs so try em all

I don't know if you tried PAC man 19.0 ROM or not. I've been using it foe a while and it's exactly like paranoid android and cm10. Less buggy and it locks GPS quickly. I've had few problems in the past with getting GPS on few of these ROMs. Give it a try.

Good choices for touchwiz ROMs or anyway to get s3 stock motions on cyanogenmod

So I used cyanogenmod Nightly and i miss many of the motions provided through touchwiz, but hate the lag in it, I'll rather find a workaround.
So in your opinion
Best choices on touchwiz based roms
Or
Are there any zips I can flash to get motions?

Unfortunately, you won't be able to find all of 4.2.x features on TW Roms. But, a lot of TW Roms have similar features. I know that some of the more popular TW Roms here in the d2spr section are (in no particular order):
MOAR (Mother Of All Roms)
The People's Rom (TPR)
Goodness Reborn
JellyBomb
Wicked Sensations
Honestly, you can stroll through the Sprint Galaxy S III Android Development Section and if you see an "MB1" or "MC3" or "TW" in the title, you can check it out. Most are really good and have options for excellent battery life.
I personally enjoy AOSP 4.2.2 Roms (Currently on Liquidsmooth v2.2) and the extra features of TW (MultiWindow, motions, etc) aren't enough to keep me there. But I fully understand that my experience does not encompass everyone's preferences, so I keep my eye on the TW Roms and will flash them every once in a while to see what's what.
Try the peoples rom
