So here I am planning to flash CM9 this weekend, and of course JB gets released! Not that its a bad thing of course, but it just makes my decision that much harder. Does anyone have suggestions as to which I should go with and why? Please only post constructive advice with some facts behind your answer, no "JB FTW!" comments since this is a serious question.
Jelly Bean. The only thing I miss from CM9 is the integrated LED notification chooser. Light Flow isn't working correctly for me on JB.
For all the reasons here: http://www.android.com/whatsnew/ and more JB is a no brainer.
Maybe you should flash both and decide for yourself! I would go with cm cause jb is pretty stock rite now and if you want options jb will come up short vs cm..jb is very nice I ran it for a few hours but I can't handle the stock feel..
I find that most of the customizations in cm9 and aokp don't get used by me.
I have been running between aokp and cm9 for months. They are great smooth stable roms with great customizations.. If those tweaks are something you are really into then maybe stay.
Project butter is no lie.. JB is (for me) smoother in every day actions than cm9/aokp. New notification ui is great. Google Now is awesome and practical. You can still run custom kernels and over clock and have root... Just not those more in depth tweaks yet.
JB is the future... May as well go there as soon as possible.

Coming from CM9 to JB, I'd say CM9 for features, JB for speed.
There are some CM9 features that I really miss on JB. T9 dailer, lock screen weather, and lock screen shortcuts. But JB is really buttery smooth.
That being said, once the source code of JB is released next month and CM9 is updated to JB, I'll go back go CM9.
Are custom launchers working on JB?
I'm on cm9 but damn keen to try JB. Started d/l last night but stopped it at 10mb down. I'm stuck using 3g atm and a 250mb d/l will use up about a quarter of my months data.
Nova works on jb... Apex crashes for me.. But stock jb is smoother than both.

Once the JB source is released it will be in CM. I installed JB to give it a try but for the long run I am going to run CM.
I liked JB but there are still some apps that I couldn't get working most notably GTA3.

Nova has some quirks on JB. I went back to the stock JB launcher for the time being.
JB for now. The new features are amazing and it's butter smooth.

Jelly Bean. MUCH smoother, Live Wallpapers are lag free again (FINALLY), much better boot animation (CM is way too choppy, and the stock ICS one is just... no.) better camera, Google Now is freaking amazing, I could go on.
I hadn't even tried live wallpapers. Very nice. I have never been able to use them due to lag.

how's the battery life on JB? did the smooth ui have any effect on battery life?
I am a bit new to Android and the GS3. But honestly I am already sick and tired of waiting for Jelly Bean as well as some of the problems of Touchwiz. So I think CM10 is the next thing for me. But I am unsure of the differencr between Touchwiz and CM10. For example I love the quick settings panel, the brilliang camera app and settings, Wi-Fi direct sharing (sbeam) , as well as the smart dialer and decent task manager. I just want to make sure everything will be better.
it's your call. i'd say you should try it out, and if you don't like it, you can always go back to stock touchwiz. just remember to read the op and the last few pages of the thread to make sure there aren't any unwanted problems to deal with. and of course, backup your current rom.

Stock Jelly Bean has been leaked. This will give you all the Jelly Bean goodness without resorting to a custom ROM.
You could also install the touchwiz launcher on CM10 if you like the TouchWiz UI. (I don't)
You can always flash back to stock ICS if you don't like where you end up. Just read the original post and make sure you understand what you're doing so you don't end up with a brick.

So if I tried it and didn't like it, I could just go back to normal and get updates OTA and everything.
Not all S3 are identical. The radio interface are slightly different, region wise. So yes , you can download a Samsung stock ROM off the Internet, it will not be exactly the same. Call and battery performance will be affected slightly.
You can use a backup to restore, it is the closest you can get to original, but rooted.
That it's the complete picture.

Things I like about touchwiz.
Movable home screens.
Little red flags on home screen icon showing unread status.
Social hub for Twitter and Facebook.
A working music player
Swipe right to call, left to SMS
Task manager, less of an issue in ICS and later.
Good alarm app
Best battery performance without tweaking.

yes, but not without some work. you'd need to either restore your backup and unroot, and remove the custom recovery or odin back to stock.

Yeah, the camera is brilliant.
Then I recommend Drew Garen Serenity rom! Its Touchwiz JB, its a GNote2 port, works great if you want the same TW features and more! (Gnote stuff), just use a launcher. I'm using tasks AOKP rom myself and its awesome

I've been stuck with AOSP. I love the TW/Samsung features, just not the interface. Coming from a Nexus, I just got comfortable with minimal. Slimbean, Aokp and liquid smooth are great base ROMs that are light.

The whole thing with that is I don't particularly care for Touchwiz. It kinda ugly and heavy with useless stuff. I just don't want to lose useful features.

yea im in the same position you are, i still change back and fourth because of features on TW that i miss and need often.
I am considering just flashing and trying it out and flashing back if I don't like it. I honestly don't mind Touchwiz, but I feel like if I give in and and wait, then I will just keep falling further behind. Perhaps Touchwiz is better now, but it certainly won't be in January
Touch wiz has too much overlay IMO. Liquid smooth is one of the best AOKP ROMs I've tried. But you will be missing out on Sbeam and everything Samsung related of course. But the sheer speed of aokp is a good enough trade off for me to lose just the neat camera and svoice.
I am using AOKP from Task and ktoonez, I love it but really miss smart stay and allshare cast to the point where I'll probably go back to TW JB once ATT actually releases it. Is there a JB ROM that includes those?
Hey guys,
Is there anyway to get the TouchWiz S3 camera features with one of the custom roms or just stick to a stock?
My brother loves the AOKP but he is insistent on having those default camera features/effects that came with the phone.

Does anyone truly like it? I find the extra page for toggles to be an annoyance to get to, and requires extra time. It just looks nice. The lock-screen also defeats all purpose of having a lock screen, and removes useful shortcuts (I know these can be added in through some cm or aokp builds but still). I didn't think it was possible for a new android version to really take a step back in terms of functionality but 4.2 really did. Scrolling isn't nearly as good as it was in 4.1 as well. But this is all my opinion, I'm interested to hear what you guys think. I'm looking to drop back to 4.1, and I'm hoping key lime pie gets rid of lock-screen widgets

Yes I like it. And a few milliseconds don't hurt. I don't think android took steps back, it took 3+ steps ahead.

I like it.. Looks pretty good.
Although, I do agree somewhat with the lockscreen. When I had messages as one of the pages on the lockscreen, I wish I could just text them from there. But instead, you press it and it goes to the messaging app instead.
Agreed. With lockscreen and toggles. If I remember correctly though, pure AOSP that ships on nexus devices prior to 4.2 didn't have toggles. That's a luxury that was only afforded to root users. So really it was a step forward.
In my opinion though, they should have implemented CM's toggles and called it good.

I love it, So much smoother at least when it comes to cm10 vs cm10.1 depends on the ROM you are using, Baked Black Bean its amazing and there are quite a few new 4.2 ROMs out in the last couple weeks
I dunno, I'm using the first aokp build that came out and its stuttering like crazy, especially the xda app

I love 4.2 on my phone, i just flashed it but my only concern is battery life and how that will ruin my fresh clean battery.
Also i dislike the lockscreen options and wished you could turn those off!

Root box is the only 4.2 ROM that I think has good battery life ! After flashing and trying out other ROMs I stick with root box. I only needed one time charger all day long .

I'm getting 3.5 or so screen time consistently with black bean. I'm actually getting better battery life than ICS out the box and with the same installed apps. Smooth performance too. I'm liking 4.2 so far. I do miss the TW calendar and music player. They seemed to work the best for me. Tethering is also been hit or miss. Nothing a big deal breaker for me though.

I was using Sniper's Baked BlackBean ROM and I loved it but the only thing that's preventing me to stay with it is the limited 4G speed so I went back to Kobridge's Stock ROM.
In response to people who dislike the newly implemented toggles page: just swipe your notification bar with two fingers and voilà, straight to toggles.
Don't thank me, I figured it out from a review video myself (QBKing77 I believe, but I could be wrong). But should save you that extra second you were complaining about...

I think it is nice but, something they could have included in the original Jelly Bean instead of making a separate Jelly Bean version.
Does tethering always work for free on Cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2 Wild for the night?

Lol I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to be accessed ahaha, it's how Google showed it off at 4.2's release. But thanks anyways I miss having the music controls on the lockscreen, now I have to place my own widget and swipe over to change songs

I am still on AT&T's non-rooted stock ICS so take this as my opinion only. I've been reading up on CM 10.1 and I will be giving it a go when I get my phone rooted.

I have downloaded Beanstalk 4.3.1 and I am not getting notification sound no matter what I do.
I can get notification sound with 4.4 Beanstalk and also with other roms 4.3.1. I have tried all settings
Any ideas?
Thanks
I tried a bunch of roms with bbm...as have others. Seems a lot of 4.3 roms have no sound...and some the default sounds only works...nothing else. To me the default sound is way to quiet.
4.1.2 touchwiz roms are the only ones that bbm works totally on. At the moment I'm on stock. Best 4.1.2 battery life I find, after some tweaking.
I can't recall what 4.3 roms have default sound only working....but you could keep trying til you find one, or stick with 4.1.2 touchwiz.
This doesn't go for all phones I'm sure....but our latest official version is 4.1.2. I know other phones with higher official versions work fine, bit our 4.2.2 and higher are custom dev made roms.
Sorry.

Thanks for the prompt response
I get notification sounds with bbm using Slimbean 4.3.1 but I prefer Beanstalk and am so frustrated that the notification sound does not work with this rom
Seems to be hit or miss with 4.3. Haven't actually tried 4.2.2.
Its not a bbm issue, cause its fine with other phones that have official 4.3.
An unfortunate side effect of unofficial android versions I guess.
