Which Android Version / Samsung Version Do You Run And Why?
I decided to try to make this to help prevent that "What ROM is best for me question" and try to save the mods some time so they can do more important things than close those threads.
So my question to you is, which android version do you run? 4.0.4? 4.1.2? 4.2.1? 4.2.2?
Stock Samsung, Stock AOSP? (AOKP, CM, Pacman, Paranoid Android) or MIUI (or any non stock android AOSP ROMs.)
If using Samsung stock or stock based ROMs, which do you prefer? The LJ7 update? MA6? MB1? Or the leaked MC3 update?
Be sure to post why you use this, and which ROM if you want. Be sure not to offend anyone. Maybe this can help people use a different version, try something new, or just to help people find out what they would like to run!
Let it begin!

To start off, I run stock 4.1.2 (because I love jellybean!) Rooted on MB1. I am still on MB1 because I prefer official updates over leaks. (no offense to sextape, his leaks are awesome!)
I love cm10 4.1.2 but I stay on stock because it is the most stable and I need my phone to work.

Stock rooted 4.1.1 (LJ7) but with the MC3 modem. I know 4.1.2 is out (MB1) but i like my setup the way it is and not really in the mood to have to redo all my lil hicks here and there for a minuscule upgrade to 4.1.2.
Stock is always best in my experience, best battery life in my opinion, great performance, i like TWiz features, plus whatever "bloatware" i don't like i can always disable or remove. Ran a few CM's and AOKP's in the past and came away so disappointed (though very grateful for the awesome development).
(Guess i could always nandroid, TiBackup as well just in case, flash back stock recovery, and accept the dang OTA nag-ware, but i'm that lazy, plus if it isn't broken, don't fix).

I too find stock based roms to be the most stable. Too much I'd have to give up with aosp.

After posting that, I found a (manual) way to do away with the OTA nag. Renaming a cert file in /etc and deleting the OTA file itself in /cache.
Thanks, anyway.

I will update to 4.1.2 when it is official and TPR is updated. I'm in no hurry anymore, the devs and RC's on this device are really amazing so I am perfectly satisfied with my device as is.
Odexed Blue SJ7 with SJ7 firmware.
That combination has worked well for me.
It's not as snappy as 4.2.2 aosp/aokp due to bloat, but those roms just can't figure out how make BT hands-free dialing to work. And while S-Voice had quirks, at least it always worked.

What controls (most) of the look is the launcher. If you just want an AOSP-type look but TW features you can install Nova or Holo launcher

Thanks for the repsonse.
Any idea who'd be fastest or what the turnaround time would be with adopting the Sammy ICS drivers? I know a stock rooted Rom usually drops fast but I haven't kept up with CM so I don't know where they're headed with the T989. I tried out one ICS ROM that worked well but the two snags (lag and vmail problems) I had were pretty major and had to go back to stock rooted.

That wouldn't be too bad I guess since I'd get wifi calling and still could remove bloat. CIQ would still be there though. Wouldn't that need Apex or another 3rd party launcher instead of the stock ICS version?
What I really want is a pure Nexus style vanilla ICS ROM. That may not be available until the source comes out. I was thinking devs could get at Samsung's ICS drivers and processes that make it more stable but that may take awhile.

That has got to be one of the most poorly written questions I've ever seen. With a mastery of English like that (did you mean "easiest" when you said "easys"???), how on earth do you hold a job that allows you to afford a smartphone? Holy crap. That seriously makes me sick. What's wrong with our schools...
And it's not even a real question... 'best' isn't an "at everything" thing, or there would only be one ROM, because the rest would all be 'worse'. You need a specific question if you are looking for any kind of meaningful answer.
I'm sad to say I'm interested in the answers to this topic, which is why I read it myself... let me try wording it better so that you don't simply get pummeled by people making fun of you:
Of the Jellybean ROMs out there:
What's the most stable ROM?
What's the ROM closest to stock Google Jellybean?
What's the most built-out, tweak-able Jellybean ROM (including features not in stock Google JB), and how does it compare in stability to the most stable ROM?
How do the new Sprint/Samsung leaks compare to these?

Note the Sprint leaks are Touchwiz - should indicate a JB OTA update coming soon if you didn't want to install one custom. The latest ROMS are pretty clean - cleaner than the ICS final release leak for the Epic 4G Touch was, so that may be forthcoming soon.

Make a nandroid then flash a ROM. Stock jellybean m5 is good or if you dont mind loosing touchwiz there's plenty of aosp ROMs. Keep in mind some ROMs are not completely stable.
Make sure your model number is correct.
Then flash a custom rom provided in the development section.
Currently using slimbean 4.1.1 and i love it
Need battery control? Install SetCPU and setup some profiles to automatically underclock CPU if screen is off, etc... helps a lot more than having an app turn on and off wifi, data, etc....
No need to flash another ROM if you're not comfortable in doing so... Additionally, there are other alternatives to SetCPU, so go ahead and search from the play store...
If I want jellybean and I have an i747 Rogers Samsung Galaxy 3 which one would be best? That is stable?I looked at CM10 but apparently it needs to be more stable. What about EUROSKANK one? Jellybro or Jellyblack? Are those for my model?

Everyone's phone is different and will react differently to the same ROM. I believe aokp, slimbean, baked black bean, and liquid jelly are the most stable right now.
Hello all! I too just rooted my S3 (at&t) and was looking into flashing some ROMs. But I came across 2 threads about backing up the IMEI. is this necessary? If it is, both methods look to be a little confusing to follow.

I want jelly bean too but coming from a galaxy Nexus I can tell you that none of the roms out there are worth it. That is if you wanna keep all the cool samsung features there are the Drew Garen roms that are okay at best. But if you don't mind losing all the cool samsungness. There's the usual suspects cm10, aokp and so on. What I did is
Flash wanam light on top of stock for added features, switched my extsd with the internal for more memorie and ported Google now on ICS because svoice reeks. Removed the bloatware. I'm good for now until Rogers rolls out its own version of Jb.

The entire Touchwiz framework, for one...
Then there's the camera app, which is by far superior to just about any other camera app, Smart Stay, all the cool gestures/moves ... those are all features that you won't find in any custom ROM.
Not saying those are all "must have" features, it all depends on you, but the fact remains that they are exclusive to Samsung based ROMs

Personally like I said before coming from the gnex. If you want the pure google experience there's plenty to choose from. But I love the new touchwiz features and I'm sticking with. The JB leaks aren't on point yet. Which is why I'll wait for rogers's rollout. Or until a good stable leak comes along.

It sounds like you need a stock based ROM. There are leaks out of the official carrier releases. I recommend Drew's milestone 5 I've used it, its pretty stable, good battery life. I think the official jb update will come out by November.

Theres even been some issues getting it to the Gnex side. It's there but lots of hurdles to make it work properly. Seems that Cdma devices are an issue somewhat, that may be why the carriers themselves are having issues. Plus lots of new integrated security measures from Google itself.

4.3 is not worth the trouble to change focus from 4.2.2 to 4.3. 4.2.2. Roms are much more stable and there is no point in having to iron out the problems with 4.3. At least in my opinion.

4.3 is not worth the trouble to change focus from 4.2.2 to 4.3. 4.2.2. Roms are much more stable and there is no point in having to iron out the problems with 4.3. At least in my opinion.

Why not stay on 4.1.2? Or ICS? If stability is your thing then stick with TW. Two months from now you'll be on 4.3 and glad that the dev community worked hard to put it together while saying the same thing about KLP...

4.2.2 has a number of changes significant enough for me to flash a 4.2 ROM every once and a while. But not 4.3. Stability isn't my thing. The trade off between stability and features is my thing.

Just curious because your comment made no sense to me but the could just be me. 4.1 TW is loaded with features and extremely stable, 4.2 AOSP is kanged together but rather stable. 4.3 kanged together, plenty of bugs and not stable.
Now you saying you would trade features for stability which makes no sense because what good are features if you can't benefit from them because it's unstable. But the roms with the most features are TW roms and the most stable. Just confused about what you said cause you say one thing then go in a different direction.

I never even referred to TouchWiz. I am comparing AOSP ROMS. Particularly 4.2, and 4.3. In that comparison I concluded that 4.3 did NOT have a significant number of changes, and, or added features to put time into making 4.3 more stable, when 4.2 is already significantly more stable. Make sense? Basic logic. Never even brought up ToucWiz people.

I really dont see the confusion, before the official cm 10.2 nightlies I had a port of android 4.3 for our device two weeks ago.
