i747M - Best ROM and Kernel

Hey guys,
What is the best rom/kernel combo you have found? I am currently on slimbean with kT kernel. Looking for what has worked for others :good:

+1
I'm very interested to know myself. I just got the sgs3 coming from a galaxy nexus running aokp. I love the new touchwiz which is ,I find, leaps and bounds beyond the sgs2's version of touchwiz. I actually want to keep it. I want a rom that gives me more without taking anything away. What I mean is a juiced up touchwiz with more customization. No nova or apex. Lte, avcrp and nfc that actually work. landscape mode phablet mode etc. Every rom has one or the other not all.

at this point it really comes down to personal opinion. all roms are heavily supported and seem to be very stable. it depends on what your looking for.
slim is a great rom very smooth and light (only ~80mb in size!) but i've found that i get more random fc's on slimbean than i do on cm10/aokp. so im sticking with cm10 & kt747 kernel for now. i always check out new slimbean updates though, when it gets a little more stable ill probably stay there.
i haven't had much experience with leak based stock jb roms. when the official at&t jb update comes out ill probably stick with stock jb because i do enjoy touchwiz but right now it seems that aosp is better with stability and battery life.
one thing i am sure of is every rom i flash, i flash ktoonsez kt747 kernel. during heavy use i switch to from ondemand to ktoonservative governer and that will really save you battery life.

i think it does come down to personal preference, but what I'm using is the latest Cyanogenmod 10 nightly with Ktoonsez latest kernel (9/23) and it's underclocked and undervolted. Great performance and even better battery life.

Serenity is based on the note 2 software. Milestone is based on the tmobile s3 leak. I tried both and went back to an ics rom (ariel). It just seems more stable and has more of the features that i like.

I really like Serenity v1.1 located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869300.
There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing that would prevent daily use in my opinion. If you are after super stable then you should probably stick with a stock-based ROM of which there are plenty. If you want to try out JB then I'd give Serenity a shot.

I use kt747 with stock rogers rom, (4.1.1 JB). Aside from a couple of issues with charging for while powered off, everything is working well.

Jedi ROM 2.0.
I've had 0 issues with it, great battery life, buttery smooth (using Nova launcher) and everything works flawlessly.

[Q] Which JB Rom are you running?

I like how stable my stock rooted ICS is, but I want to try a JB Rom. Which one would you guys recommend? Most important thing (for me) is for it to be stable and bug free (as much as possible).
So, to those who have tried many of the Roms in the Dev section, which one would you say is the most polished?
Thanks in advance.

I've been running AOKP JB since my GS2 and have had no problems whatsoever, none that weren't self induced anyways. Rock solid and smooth like glass, especially with the KT747 kernel.

running liquid smooth, everything is great except i can't get LTE to work

Thanks guys. I'm on the US AT&T Network. Having data is important. Sorry I forgot to mention it earlier.

The most polished? Hmm that's a tough one since they all have bugs, but nothing that wouldn't be considered a DD.

I'm running Paranoid KANGdroid, a mix of CM10, Paranoid Android, and AOKP.

Ran liquid smooth for a while loved it. Only problem was video recording had very low volume. Otherwise flawless.

Tytung cm10 nexusHD2 v1.1 4.1.2 jelly bean for me.
Στάλθηκε από το NexusHD2 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk 2

I've tried many (not all) and for me the most stable are aokp and liquid smooth. I haven't tried CNA but I'm sure its rock solid too.

Thanks guys. I'm trying AOKP now, so far it's good. I miss TW though.

I am running DrewGaren's JellyBean747 Milestone6. It is stock with TW and for me is running perfectly.

I'm running Codename Android 3.6.6. Been playing around with it a couple of days. So far, I'm loving how clean and polished this rom is. Only flaw I can really see in this build is that A2DP support seems to be broken. Here's hoping that version 3.8.0 fixes that:fingers-crossed:

I'm also running DG JB M6 and loving it. The only thing I can say that I'm having a problem with is that it says 4G when I'm in an lte area. I'm getting lte speeds, but it just doesn't say it in the earlier icon bar. No complaints about that.
I can't wait for the M7 to be released shortly. I haven't tried any other rom as of yet. Haven't found a reason to leave DG and his great work.
One thing that I would like is to have the abity to over clock the gpu. As far as I know that can't be done on the kernel that DG uses. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Can anyone suggest another rom that is a reliable?
I'm in Canada running on Rogers.

I had problems with Liquidsmooth, it would constantly restart and close apps. I have not had any of those issues with AOKP, BAKED, asylum, or the Stock Rooted. I used TWRP for all my flashing.

I am waiting for DGs 1.2 serenity at the moment.. just a question tho.. not sure on all the cm10 aok tw names.. but is there a rom that looks and feels like Nova launcher.. i like the fact you can fit more apps on the screen and more at the bottom.

Well I'm about to put on the new JB M7. I'll report back with how it runs good me.

AOKP - i have tried them all and this one has been the most stable

RootBox 10/25 nightly

i've tried out AOKP and CM10. both are great. thinking about switching to a TouchWiz custom ROM now. looks like i'll be choosing between drewgaren's Milestone 7 and Serenity 1.2

[Q] Which ROM for my girlfriend?

My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship, so I can't really help her when she has problems on her phone. I am currently with her and I've previously had AOKP and CyanogenMod on her phone. While they generally work perfectly fine, there may be issues that I can't easily diagnose from afar. What Touchwiz (non-AOSP) ROM would you guys recommend for long-term stability, optimal battery life, and features. Unlike me, she does enjoy Touchwiz....so using a Touchwiz ROM isn't a problem.
Suggestions?

My first suggestion would be to try several to see which one she likes. If the time isn't available, then I would suggest taking a look at Triune 2. Basically, a debloated stock rom with some custom tweaks. It's what both my wife and I run, though hers isn't as personalized as mine. And if it's important, google wallet works with it.

Try miui, its like android meets iphone and sweet themes. Its probably not the most stable choice though, despite how much it might appeal to the novice android user.
Aokp is very stable, I'm on slimbean right now and its been 100% stable so far. I haven't been on a tw ics ROM since the first few hours I got my gs3 back in july. Drews stock tw jellybean is pretty stable might want to give that a try too.

I've actually been quite partial to DrewGaren's ROM's.... currently Serenity 1.2 based on an AT&T JellyBean ROM for the Galaxy Note 2, and JellyBean747, based on the latest JellyBean leaks/official builds from other carriers.
As for custom ICS TouchWiz ROM's.... haven't really used one in a while since i'm hooked on JB... but i did quite like kyanROM.

I really want her to have JB as she currently has it and surely doesn't want to go back to ICS. I'll do a nandroid and have her try out the DrewGaren ROMs first and see if she likes those. Thanks!

Well heads up if your talking d g stock tw jb rom im on it and yes its good but read through some of the few pages myself and a few members are talking about..
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Right now there's now perfectly stable stock touchwiz jb ROMs for our s3 yet as far as I'm aware, and may venture to say the aosp ROMs are more stable and have less issues. I may be wrong as I havent tried too many tw jb roms but have read quite a bit. Ariel 2.10 is a rock solid tw ics build and the upgrade to jb is minor enough I can't see why your girlfriend would mine it until a better tw jb ROM is out.

I kid I kid. Wannalite is a ICS stable TW rom. Either that or MIUI. But its still experiancing some growing pains and not quite 100 percent stable.
I'm running JB TW from TeamInsomnia with Ktoonz kernel with absolutely no issues.
Turn your gf into a flashaholic!! Lol

4.1 or 4.2 Roms ?

What do you folks here think is more stable and fast with performance options? What do you think the most stable ROM is for both? Thanks in advance
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I can't help you in ROMs because I always run my own compiled one from AOSP.
4.2 seems fine with me like 4.1 in terms of stability. I haven't run into any major issues that I can think of as a disadvantage of 4.2 actually I really like the toggles of 4.2
Check this thread for some information

From my experience, 4.2.1 Roms are all working really well and you can definitely make the upgrade. My personal favourite is the Paranoid Android rom!
4.1.2 roms are flawless but once you start using 4.2.1 you won't really wanna go back.
The only issue with 4.2 is the custom kernels aren't really that stable. Hope this helps

Actually, I was on 4.2.1 since release, and now I switched back to 4.1.2... I had too many problems with 4.2.1... battery drains, random reboots, freezing. etc

For the moment you better stay on 4.1.2 because the roms are more bugless and it is smoother too I am currently using cm10 an it is in my opinion one of the best with plenty of features and you can always flash the android 4.2.1 gapps like the camera and gmail,... above android 4.1.2

Yeah, I'm on cm10 as well

I think that the most stable CM10. Is very close to the AOSP, but there isn't a stable version both for the 4.1 and 4.2.
After all, the choice of the ROM is very personal. You have to try a lot of Roms and kernels until you are satisfied. It's the only way

I agree. I actually got the phone on 4.2.1 then rooted and been using Roms. Right now I'm on xylon its pretty solid I have just heard there are quicker Roms on 4.1 quick question. Since I am already rooted using a custom ROM all I would have to do is full wipe and flash a4.1 ROM if I decided correct?

My experience on stock kernel was fine. Anyone having issues on stock kernel? I was just saying that most of the time have MOST of the features port up, and they seem to work fine for me. Although maybe some of the butter is gone

[Q] Stable Verizon Galaxy Nexus ROM for girlfriend

My girlfriend has been using a few custom roms that I've flashed for her on her nexus, but shes been having multiple SOD's and random restarts and other stability issues on 4.2.1 roms (tried a few). I would like to know the most stable rom/kernel combination that you have used in the past, 4.1.2 is preferable if the stability is better. Just basic rom features is all she needs, but stability and speed is most important, I feel pretty bad for giving her roms with some issues that I haven't experienced on my sgs3.
Thank you all for the help

If you are looking for stability and simplicity go with mmuzzy French vanilla rom. Its smooth and stable. If u want stable with mods go with carbon rom. Its fast smooth and good on battery life.

Thank you, I'm going to try flashing MMuzzy toro tonight and see how that works out

stock

yeah get her on 4.1.2 before she complains that you "broke" her phone lol. anyways i only use 4.1.2 roms right now, and i can tell you that jb sourcery 3.1 and liquid smooth 2.0 RC9 have both been straight shooters with great performance and not a single SOD in either of them

I just flashed MMuzzy's French Vanilla rom and my word is this thing awesome. Almost indistinuishable from stock. I wish I had a friend who had the GSM Gnex so we could compare features.

If you are looking for a few more features without losing stability I strongly recommend Nexus Evolution. The current version is from Jan 4 and a new version is likely to come out today or at least very soon

If you want a daily driver, use stock (deodexed and rooted for customization)

Xenon is definitely my favorite.

I wouldn't recommend bugless. BuglessPete hasn't updated it since Nov, so it is still 4.1.1.
I would recommend stock, rooted, deodexed. If you want features, then MMuzzy has been quite stable for me.

I just flashed Carbon V1 over XenonHD and it's running pretty smoothly. A lot of the 4.2 and mostly all of the 4.1 ROMs are pretty stable overall.
