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.

Anything comparing features or anything?
I've been trying to stay on TW as long as I could because of the camera.

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.

I don't really understand this either... if you want touchwiz why not flash a touchwiz rom?

i think he's looking for a 4.2.1 rom that comes with a touchwiz launcher. I can't think of any off the top of my head i don't even think there is one.

First 4.2.1 rom and I like the TW launcher. TW Roms they have too many things that I don't use and mostly they are customized by the devs how they like them. And the last thing better battery life than TW roms

Actually there is but it is laggy and FC too often because it is ICS not JB
JellyBam includes the Touchwiz launcher and it is based off of CM10/AOKP. You won't get all of the stock features but if you're only needing the launcher you could try that one out.

+1 Jellybam has alot of options it comes with trebuchet and touchwiz.
Get Nova and the free touchwiz 4.5 theme for the theme engine. That's what I do sometimes. I run LiquidSmooth Beta 2.

Hey guys im wondering if theres a rom that is exactly like the s3 or Note 2? Im talking about the way the OS looks and acts. icons, dial pad, txt, etc etc. Can you guys tell me one of this builds available that can be stable and smooth and looks like the s3?

All TouchWiz JB ROMs will "look" like the GS3/Note 2.

Look at the ROMs OP [original Post or post 1 of any ROM thread] that will list how the ROM differs from stock and/or the adjustments made by the developer to the ROM and those ROMs that include S3 or Note based apps will state that. There are more and more doing it and you should be able to copy those same apps in to like ROMs [say you have a JB ROM and it has the app you want and another JB ROM you want to use does not] you could then copy the apk over and in a lot of cases it should work [it may not if the ROM is AOSP or AOKP those refer to different code bases and you may find some of the apps will like one or the other.
There are also threads in some cases if you search that offer up just the apps and state what they would work with.
As a last ditch you could download a Note or S3 ROM and open the zip [DONT FLASH IT TO YOUR DEVICE] and got in to system directory in zip go to apps and copy the apks you want from it and move them to the ROM you want to try them in. Worst comes to worst if it gives you issues use a root capable file manager and delete those apps that don't work.
OF COURSE, run appropriate backups as this really should not break your install, but on the totally off chance somehow it does it is better to be safe than sorry when just learning.
I suggest Embryo 6
I was looking at the Embryo Roms and there are two of them one says 6.3 and the other 6.1.1 i saw in the 6.3 there are some issues with call eco and other stuff, and saw in the 6.1.1 that it has some of the features giving problems cause they are experimental, wich one do you guys think i should give it a try?

I think you are referring to the flash bar as experimental and thats because multi-window has not been implemented. I use 6.1.1 and its beeen the best 4.1 Jelly bean rom so far from my experience. Or you can do what that guy above me said and have a much smoother experience.
I am running AOKP milestone 1, but I constantly have issues where my phone overheats, screen glitches up and has wierd colors, random reboots, and bad battery life. I don't know if it's an issue with AOKP or my phone. I tried jellybam, but for some reason, my camera does not work properly and I am stuck on phablet mode, even after switching to phone ui in paranoid settings. Everything is too small.
I am not sure what other roms to try. I am looking for one that's feature packed like AOKP and jellybam .. and very stable
Thanks.
In my opinion this is the best 4.2.2 and most feature packed rom available for the s3.

Flash keeps failing when i try to install this ROM.
I did fresh install of Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 using CWM. The ROM is great, most stable of the ones I used (official ICS, Liquid Nitro and some other ICS based) it has very few random reboots, and I think that SD card is a reason to that. I really like the CM 10.1.3 but problem is that games simply work slowly. I have installed Fruit Ninja 1.8.8 which worked fine on other ROMs I tried but here it works slowl, and Subway Surfers for example won't even open. Is there any fix to this?
Also by the way... Should I flash p936 baseband since I live in Europe?
Any of the CM or AOSP based ROMs will give you poor gaming performance. Only ROMs based on official ICS will have the performance needed IMHO. With that being said, currently I am running NitroTNT, which gives me the best balance of battery, performance and stability. You might also try SphinX which is based off of official Jellybean. Even though it isn't as good as ICS for games, it still is a lot better than CM.

Why might this be? Is it because the official-based roms use the kernel for this phone while CM uses a CM-based kernel? Can we maybe get CM10.1.3 working with an official jellybean-based kernel? @lyfkevin maybe you can provide some input.

Hmm I didn't know about NitroTnT, because I didn't first see it in repository... Looked again now and found it! From the description it does seem good, I'm downloading it at the moment. Will tell you the results I got tommorow!
Well I couldn't wait tommorow The ROM is nice it works fast, games work and there was not a random reboot yet! That is most important to me... By the way... Why does on every ROM LG voice recorder crash while trying to send voice message on facebook messenger?

Hmm that happened when I used Liquid Nitro too, it might be an issue with messenger. I think I'll replace it with a custom voice recorder. Oh and 1 suggestion (maybe I should have posted it on the Nitro TnT thread) I think you could have removed the stock calculator... There are 2 calculators there Anyway thanks for the ROM! It works fine for me!
