Seems like any old honkee can make a ROM, nowadays.. I mean, they work their asses off, and that's great, but I'm looking for a daily driver.
I hate touchwiz, entirely. Does anyone know of and recommend an ALL ICS ROM that's worth flashing? I would try Alpha 4 CM9, but the sound of trying an alpha ROM doesn't appeal to me..

The dev's here have put a lot of hard work into the roms that we have. Cm9 and aokp are good enough to be daily drivers in my opinion. It doesn't even sound like you attempted to try them.

You might try Blu Kuban by Rujelus. It comes with Apex Launcher baked in but offers other launcher options (including Touchwiz for those so inclined) in the ROM Updater.
I've been using it as a daily driver since he put it out at the end of April.
Before this I used Venum's Anakonda and had mad love for it as well.
Cm9 a4 works perfect for me

lol cm9 is a aosp rom.. and its in alpha only because we dont have source yet so they cant implement all cm features but everything just about works.. currently im on calks ics rom.. you can disable twiz launcher and use stock. im using sgs3 launcher ux.. either way an aosp rom is as close as youll get to pure ics since it removes touchwiz components

I have tried a few, and they all seem to have one bug that throws me. Like, for instance, the no mount bug. Have to use root directory to set up your external sd, and most of the time, it didn't work.. :banghead:

Yeah, but I would like the pure ics experience. I hate touchwiz dialer and call screen, and I'm not fond of the launcher, so I use apex. I only like the clock app, really.. lol.

The only thing bad about CM9 is that you can't update profile/prl. Other than that it is a very solid, bug-free ROM.
Well with any luck we might see one of these for our version.

Do you mean pure ics or "all ics"? Because ics is what most of the roms are built from now for our phone. You do have the option to go with calkulin's fe22 rooted and tweaked version. From what I here, its very stable. And its practically stock. And ics! You also have some venum build choices among others. There is definitely something that suits your needs. You may need to do some legwork to find the right one for you.

Which ROM? If you mean Blu Kuban then you obviously haven't tried it. You can have as stock an experience as you want or as detailed as you prefer.
Anakonda was also a very clean ROM, as is Venum Ice.
Calkulin's ROMs are always dependable and Agat has some very nice stuff as well.
Fact of the matter is, you have a smorgasbord of ROMs to choose from and there is something out there for every taste.

I run Alpha 4 as a daily driver. I am actually on the 5/28 build which has a couple new additions over the release of A4 but no real complaints for me at the moment. A ton has happened since Alpha 4. For nearly anyone it should be as good as the ics leaks. I think the main complaint with a few people at this point is connectivity loss and most of those are fixed apparently using the EL29 modem to fix it. Ive had it happen maybe once just toggled in and out of airplane mode to fix it.

Where can I find that?
If you're looking for something clean, MIUI is clearly the best option. It's my daily driver.
CM9 A4 is perfectly ready for daily-driver status as long as you disable LED notifications (huge battery hog with alpha 3, i've kept the same behavior w/ alpha 4 so no idea if it's fixed).
I've consistently gotten 4+ hours of screen on time. Easily goes all day, never had GPS issues, force closes or restarts. Pretty perfect.
Wipe everything.
[and MIUI, but it's about as un-stock ICS as a rom can get looks wise. It's my preferred rom fwiw.]

Legwork is right, my friend! when I say pure ics, I mean stock ics everything. No Sammy dialer, ics stock lockscreen (I kinda like the one that came with calkulins..), pretty much just as close to stock ics as you can get. Wouldn't mind some CPU hacks to help balance the battery and whatnot.

Thank You!
Not to be rude or anything but all one has to do is look at some of the popular ROMs in the development sections to get a pretty good idea. The popular ones tend to always be near the top, provide great documentation and support, and provide pictures and videos to get you a great idea of the experience. Just spend 30 minutes looking over the various options, and flash a few to see which one you want to stick with. Flashing ROMs is so easy nowadays that it really is just a matter of how much time you are willing to spend playing around with them. I'm waiting for Jellybean ROMs before I really make the jump and satisfied with the performance of stock (with Nova launcher) until those JB ROMs become pretty stable and can be used everyday.
You really can't go wrong with any rom currently out. I've tried them all out and they won't disappoint. I'm currently running Freeza's rom and though it's touchwiz based, he really changed it up.

For me they have all basically been the same in regards to battery life. At a minimum I can pull 16 hrs on battery with 4+ hrs of screen on time with each rom. I'm not really into playing games on my phone so that helps. However, battery life is really user dependent because we all use/set up our devices differently...so what may end up being good for me may not be the best battery life for someone else. Definitely give each one a try though and see which works best for you
I'm definitely going to try them all, but god damn are all TW roms almost 1gb in size? I thought sense roms with big @ half the size.

Not all of them but if they're full of addons, such as FreeGS3 by Clark, then it can get big. Freeza's rom is probably the smallest coming in at about 498MB

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've seen a few people post that FreeGS3 is noticeably smoother and less laggy than Blazer. Not knocking Blazer since it may have some other features that people prefer.
For my previous phone (EVO 3D), I tried several Sense ROMs and there was a significance difference in performance among them. Is it such a stretch to assume that a similar variance would be present in custom TW ROMs?

I guess my point is obviously people like all these roms, or they prob wouldn't always be the top four threads all day long...
It really depends on your own preferences as they all appear to be stable and running well..
Again my advice, pick one and flash it.. if u feel like trying something else then try that too.. If somethIng goes wrong restore your backvup.. again.. the beauty of xda.

AOSP roms are stock cm9 and cm10... Sense and stuff would be nice, and there was a team working on it in the sprint section and they just died out, MIUI is reported to be in the works still... and don't call the themes people give you as an option "ugly" cause they work hard to get you something to flash, it isn't cool of you to just call them ugly and terrible lol.
We don't NEED roms! Fortunately our phone works very well on stock rom. I am all for custom roms and can't wait for miui and hopefully a sense Rom. Our phone is brand new just give it some time.
I also agree it's bad taste to call peoples work ugly. You don't like the themes don't flash em. Me personally I live the wicked red theme. Because I can't dev I can't make roms and what not so I am extra appreciative. Its not like people are getting paid to do it

Alright. I'll check out the Jellybomb ROM.

Try each of them out. Each rom is going to offer you a different experience. Just remember to do backup and follow install instructions. I myself would rather try different experiences instead of just asking which is better. Have some fun with your device and see what all is out there.

Where do you go to look for different roms that you are deciding between? Any suggestions?
I have tried just about all of them. I watched qbking77 on you tube first.odexed blue and wicked sensations was pretty much a tie. Cm10 has been my favorite jellybean.

What's the difference between CM10 and roms? Noob question I know but I'm new to this
Jellybomb
While the other guys are right that each Rom has something different offer, I highly recommend Jellybomb. He is always updating and answers questions. Some Roms get put up and then you rarely hear back if you have a prob. Honestly, it is a matter of opinion though. I tried several out for myself before finding Jellybomb. I personally did not like CM10 at all.

Id have to say JellyBomb And StrongSteve's odexed blue are the best. I also agree that CM10 isnt that great. I mean it runs amazing and all that but the gut the rom and remove all touchwiz features and all that which IMO is a waste since toucwiz does have some very good features that I use all the time. I dont see why someone would buy a phone and then put a rom on there that strips it down to the bare minimum. Also like others have said though you really need to try them out yourself and see which one you like. Another thing to keep in mind is a lot of these screenshots dont do the roms justice. You need to see them on the SuperAmoled to really appreciate it.

That would be in the development forum...read the OP and a few pages of the last pages of the ROM thread to see if there are issues.
JellyBomb fan and MIUI right now, is getting stable thanks to chair face but Josh beach from JellyBomb is pretty good and he's always working on it
MIUI Jellybean 2.8.31 B2

FTFY
CM10 isn't that great for you personally .
CM doesn't 'gut' anything, it's built from source, it's just a different experience, one that some find fantastic. Since ICS Google has really stepped up their game, it still needs a bit more setup out of the box, but it isn't nearly as daunting as it was in earlier versions. Back in the Eclair/Froyo days manufacturer's overlays like HTC's Sense were almost necessary, those days are gone. Now people can choose more freely, at least people like us who want to root . All that said, Samsung has done a really great job with Touchwiz now, it's not at all a bad experience like it used to be. Very functional, light, speedy and provides plenty of depth in settings and customization.
I know the OP doesn't want to hear it, but you really just have to try things out for yourself and see what's best for you and your needs. Take people's suggestions and find some time to try out some various ROMs for a day or two at a time.

I'd love to try something else but right now I'm in love with CM10. It's my first custom ROM so maybe it's that first love thing going on. Woopie, I don't have captcha anymore.
If you like touch wiz like me then phantoms blazer from 1.7 is great 1.8 has some battery life issues

I used the CM9 Rom on my Epic and generally enjoyed it. With the SG3, what seems to be the Rom of choice for most to offer and stability?

All the touchwiz rom are stable, the difference between them are themes and features like multi window. 4.2 AOSP roms are a w.I.p imo, but the little bugs can be tolerated.

Like said above, touchwiz is stable but I favor CM10. Awesome ROM. People say AOSP is always buggy, but I can tolerate it. I love cyanogenmod

@OP, we're steering this conversation towards rom types because as your question stands now, its gonna get locked.
I dont yet have this phone, but I love Sense. Sense, sense, sense roms all the way
Especially Sense 4.0+. Beautiful.
MIUI seems kinda bland to me, but AOSP is simple and sweet

it sounds like most people like either CM10 or AOSP. any techies out there able to explain what one has that the other does not? I have used CM for years, but unfamiliar with AOSP. The other thing i liked having for the Epic, was I was able to switch back and forth between the stock rom and CM9 for Sprint updates. Can i still do that with the GS3? I was looking for the Stock Rom to have as a zip but did not find it on the forum. Helps with Sprint updates

CM is an AOSP style rom.

what does CM10 offer that the stock rom does not?
Fo sho its the Rom to have and use is the Chemistry Rom because I have a GS3 fleshed to boost and all my main functions I need all work with this ROM. My mms and my voice mail. And with Ktweaks kernel I am getting some serious battery time on this ROM so its over all the perfect ROM right now to have. And my man Sac is there every step of the way to give support and help with any issues
If you use cm10 or any aosp or aokp rom you lose all the goodies in touchwiz like motion effects.

Personally I like MOAR ROM, great list of features and you can theme it however you want during install

It gives you a clean, stock android look, theme able, no bloatware, uses less ram. I have heard better battery life but I don't know. It has CM10 tweaks. If you can wait till cm10.1 is stable, it should be pretty awesome.

does anyone know if there is a zip file of the stock 4.1.1. rom out there so that if I do download cm10 rom, i could switch back and forth between CM10.1 and stock rom
Make a backup in recovery. Thats what its there for
I like to break stuff!
Agreed. Backups are good

Most of the roms in the Dev section are rock solid (minus a few bugs which are normal in almost everything) the only way to figure out which you are going to like is to read the OP of a few that sound interesting, flash and take it for a drive (give a day or two typically) unless you can't stand it. MOAR, TPR, and FAT ASS (Cartman Edition of TPR) are all great TW based roms, offer all the fun of normal TW.. Incredible themeing options via Morphology.
Free GS3 is another great rom (from what i hear) as well. I haven't personally ran this one either, but does work with Morphology for themeing options.
Just scan the dev section. You'll find a good fit.

Is it just me, I don't recall ever seeing those in the dev section. Unless those are just nicknames

Just nicks for the roms, minus the last one.. here's the direct links.
TN's rom is the best thing around right now in my opinion. Its got all the latest and greatest mods (multi, ink, 8 lock-screens, skip tracks) while keeping the stability of TW.

Well buddy that's a matter of personal preference. Find out what you like your phone to do and find a rom that suit your needs. Unfortunately you won't get a definitive answer on this subject. Trial and error until you find what you like.
