3 months ago I rooted and installed a rom CM10.1 for my uncle he had sound issues There was a terrible echo so i downgraded to cm10 since then he was complaining that no 1 hears him clearly and the internet keeps disconnecting he has to put it in to airplane mode and then out i feel like giving up on him for a ROM thinking of going back to stock pls advise ?
PS maybe its a kernel or something else
Clean install the latest and greatest CM or another ROM. If echo remains try Stock ROM again.

Holy mother of run-on sentences!
From what I can gather, since you've been only flashing CM for your uncle, you want him to have an AOSP Rom. The problem is that the version that you flashed 3 months ago isn't stable: it either had microphone issues or internet connectivity issues. I've had very limited stability issues with my AOSP Rom (see my sig for what I'm running), but mileage varies by phone, usage, and region.
If you really want a stable, and I mean full of horses, hay, and a farmer's daughter stable, you're looking at something closer to stock. Most ROMs in the Android Development Section with an [MD4] in their title will give you that stability. You won't be going back to 100% stock, as most of them have significant mods installed, but they are much more stable than AOSP (again, your mileage may vary). One that's typically linked in threads like this is The People's Rom. It's been a while since I've used it, but it has great support over in their thread. MOAR Rom is also a good one, as well as Wicked Sensations and Goodness Reborn. In case you haven't noticed, I just went through the top 5 or 6 threads over in the development section and linked them here.
If you have questions about a ROM's stability, look in the last 5-10 pages of the thread to see what issues people are having with the latest release of the ROM. That's what every one of us "Senior Members" do when flashing Roms, we read the Main post (numerous times) and then the last couple of pages. Typically it's very informative.

Let me just get to the point, what would be your final decision? The options are just to many.
I do not have an s3 myself so it will just take me along time to start from scratch

Im a Noob here guys, so let me appologize in advance...Ive been a little trigger shy about starting this thread to say the least, so here are my issues...
Like a noob I updated my new gs2 right out of the box to 2.3.6 without even considering problems with roms. I was able to gain root access with zedomaxs gs2root.com tutorial, as I did with my last gs2 on original firmware.
I am currently on juggs 4.1 & its working nicley except my data speeds have dropped from 12-15 mbps down to 2-6. My battery life seems to be okay but i dont remember how stock was as i left the gs2 for a short while for the amaze wich had AWFULL battery life, so anything seems great in comparison. I want to get my data speeds corrected, & I also would really like to move to bombaridier rom but im not sure exactly wich roms I will be able to use with the ota upgrade I did? I was going to flash it & see if everything went okay as it seems to be a very attractive rom for my needs, but I would rather not do anymore flashing without learning if there are any risks with flashing roms while on the 2.3.6 firmware, & whether or not I am going to be experiencing issues on all roms with this particular update on my device.
I am also curious as to if I will be able to unroot my gs2 since I rooted it with the new firmware this time.
My final question is are there any stable AOSP roms I could use with this firmware? I am by no means experienced but I have rooted and flashed several roms on my old htc sensation but i have never tried aosp, so i suppose I may just be interested in an opinion on this matter.
I have read alot of info/threads on xda so I dont want to come off as lazy, & my brain is almost overloading with the vast amount of info I read on this AMAZINGLY informative site. I am a person who LOVES to gain knowledge & self educate, so your site has become quite addictive to me over the past 6-8 weeks!
I am very sorry, but I can be a little long winded, & if anyone out there could forgive my lack of understanding and provide me with any advice or guidance on what my options may be, & if I have any possible risks running roms on this firmware, I would be more than happy to click your donate button, as I am so very appreciative of all the free knowledge the great ppl of xda have provided me! I feel lucky to have access to your site, & I am looking foreward to one day becoming a productive & contributing member.

The upgrade to 2.3.6 enables wifi calling and a new radio. So far, I haven't noticed any problems with the update.
I'm not familiar with the root method you used. I used the Odin method to root mine. It is possible to go back to completely stock though. So, you don't have to worry. I believe there is a thread in the general section, or development section about doing so.
There are two CM7 roms in the dev section. Both are basically alpha builds and have some bugs. There are also two roms the have touchwiz removed.
I'm not sure about the data speed issues. Maybe try flashing a different rom and see if it changes?

The method I used to root was odin as well. If I flash bombaridier I would assume I am safe then? I also have my stock root backup, as well as a backup of juggernaut 4.1. I have done the unroot process before, I just was not sure if it would have the same outcome since I rooted with odin on the new firmware. also,am I okay to flash any rom, even though I am on the 2.3.6 firmware or are there any that may cause serious problems being they were probably written for previous firmware versions? THANK YOU so very much for your reply! I dont want to beat a dead horse, I guess I am looking for confirmation that flashing roms on the new firmware, isnt a big no no , or requires any xtra steps....Thanks again to you!
Hi, just got my S3 last week. Now I'm looking to find a custom rom with best battery life and stablity. What would you recomment?

You just have to test drive them all basically and figure which is best for your phone. Apparently the latest Jelly Bean port from
Tmobile (LIF) is running pretty smooth. There's 3 different TW out.
I've been running BlackJelly 0.7 LIF for a couple of days now and have excellent battery life. Just be wary that there are some Sprint-specific apps that are included that don't work on AT&T (e.g., Sprint Hotspot, Cloud Settings), and there is a screen wake/lock issue that the developer recently acknowledged that there is a workaround for.
Generally these types of threads are frowned upon as it inevitably leads to a my ROM is better than your ROM. You'll get nothing but "whip it out and measure" type posts.
I suggest you read the OPs of what you think that you might liek to run and then a decent rule of thumb is the read at least the last 10 pages of each thread (if not reading the whole thing)
But above all, use the search or your next thread will be "Help, I think I bricked my device"
Thread Closed.
T-Mobile Galaxy S3 (T-999). I'm currently running Frosty Jellybean v11.6, (R.I.P.) so I'm looking for a suitable replacement that is in active development.
I would say I have average to advanced skills (I usually Oden to stock before installing a new ROM)
Wifi Calling is a must, so CM and all non TouchWiz ROMs are out.
I tend to prefer "close to stock" ROMs but I won't rule out something more customized.
I generally don't overclock so those features are not important to me.
I typically install Google Wallet (replace the NFC drivers, installing the MoDoCo hacked wallet binary and then change the build.prop).
I need fairly good battery life (stock experience or reasonably close to it).
What do you suggest?
Sounds like WICKED v7 is what you want if you want near stock feel, and better battery. It performs well.

The developers do this really cool thing now, which consists of putting a list of all features that are within the rom in the first post of the thread. Most of the time they even put screenshots so you can see what it looks like! It's a very good thing for deciding on a rom.
Want to know something else really awesome?! Our friend mt3g put together a resource bible that is stickied in the general section that lists all of the roms available, with short descriptions of what they are!

True, but that only tells you so much about a ROM. I generally read the first page or two and the last page or two of each ROM I am considering. What you don't get is an informed opinion from someone who is really using the ROM.
Frosty JB was my favorite and I'm still using 11.3.2. Shame development had to stop on it, but there's no reason you still can't use it. 11.3.2 has the stock kernel, 11.6 has the Xone kernel and is overclockable. Personally, I always loved how close to stock 11.3.2 is, so I continue to use that version.

Like TheLastSidekick said, the WICKED ROM series seems like the option you are looking for providing what you want. I have been using it since the ICS days and I haven't had a single complaint with it.

Try out the very new STABLE SlimBean 4.2.1 if you want something different!
Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085828
Make sure you perform a clean install if you're coming from a different rom.
Cheers
Slim Roms are not TouchWiz. So will not have WiFi calling..
If I were you, I would go to the dev section and start mango around a few of them see which you like best. I would start with Wicked and Drastalker to begin with. If you're not satisfy, go to the next until you find your answer.
Don't believe what everyone says, follow your heart (hopefully you're not bias )

Yup. What they said. ^^^
That is the beauty of Nandroid. Try one, like it. Great. If not then Nandroid back to what you had/have. Only issue is that you can't Nandroid across build changes, meaning ICS to JB and then back to JB or 4.1.1/2 to 4.2.2 then back to 4.1.1/2. That would cause some partition issues. But since you know how to Odin, that is 80% of the cure for future problems.
What's the consciousnesses of the best ROM for the Sprint G3?
Really don't want to download them all, try all features and then choose. We need like a Download meter on a page that says how many times each rom flavor has been downloaded so we know what's hot and what's not.
Give me your feedback based on all features working and a solid rom with no issues. (plz don't laugh. I know we are not releasing broke apps/ROMs )

Every week or two, this exact thread pops up, and the generic response is: try them all out.
In terms of downloads, none of the Roms are hosted on XDA< so it'd be impossible to bake it into the site itself. Dev's could put it in their posts, but even that's not a good indication (Roms that release a lot of updates will have a lot more downloads with fewer users, for example).
In terms of what's best, it's impossible to say. I personally like some of the fun features of XYZ Rom, while Johnny over there is much more interested in stability (he uses the phone for work, you see). Likewise, Suzie really just wants to have a Stock Rom with all Sprint and Samsung bloat removed. Little Ralphie wants the fastest and most gamer-friendly Rom, while Carl wants the best battery life.
All of us will have different desires when we flash a Rom and therefore there will never be a consensus on what is the best Rom.
Edit: All of that being said, If you don't want to take the time to flash each Rom individually, I'd say look at one thread and look at the features list. You'll see a bunch of stuff that makes no sense to you, but you might be able to piece together what some of the mods/features might be. If they sound good, read through the last 5-10 pages of the thread and see if there are any stability issues being reported. If it seems stable enough for you, flash it. Otherwise, move on to the next thread.

Each rom thread has a break down of what the rom includes, what works and doesn't. Feed back on the thread is the closest to a meter you'll get.

This is what I do. I like Whiplashh's, and currently running MOAR.
Flastnoles11 has a list of them in his FAQ thread.
check out the ported iOS compiled from source in the original android development forum. most users have pretty decent battery life. only annoyance is that you jailbreak it every time the phone reboots.

These "What is the best......" Get closed because everything here is the best for someone. But may not be for you.
No one can tell you what will be best for you, your phone, your usage and your area.
I am looking for a stable ROM for my Galaxy S3 AT&T (d2att) which will be used on T-Mobile. I know the definition of "Stable" is different per user, so what I'm basically looking for is all the critical features of a phone working well. For example: Good Radio, Bluetooth, Gps, Camera, etc.
I've used and liked official CM10 a lot, it was pretty stable.
I've decided to stop using CM now due to the fact my Front Camera does not work with other apps (the phone just freezes). I been waiting for this fix for over 6 months now and I've even wrote on their forum, created a bug tracker, however, they are not fixing this feature (even after 3 update). Many other people are having issues like this also.
The main reason I'm making this post is because I've read before that many roms are a modified version of CM, which means the front camera might not be working on those roms also.
Can you guys suggest me some roms for my phone that is working well for you?
Thanks a lot.
First Questions go in Q&A
Second, this is a development site and members are expected to do their own research before drastically altering their expensive device.
All the info you need is in the Development section in the OPs of each ROM. No one can tell you what is best for you but you.
It is recommended that you back your phone up and try the ROMs out for yourself as everyone's taste is different and every member thinks the ROM they are using is the best.
Thanks for your understanding
