Ok first a thank you goes out to all the developers before I go on my rant and question. I started rooting awhile back but got real serious with my s2. This site and people here taught me a lot just by reading and following instructions. Now I was away for awhile playing around with iPhones ( I know I know don't kill me) anyway I went back to my android with a s3 and my wife a one x. I ran stock for a few months but as you all know once you go custom it's hard to stay stock. So I rooted a week ago but can't find a Rom I want to run. Now this not for the lack of roms that sound and look good but things have changed so much on this site I don't know what to run. With my s2 I would look at a Rom read through comments about what was working, not working, or problems the Rom has and fixs. So on to my question. Pardon me but wth is going on with dev.forum. I look at a Rom and have to sift through pages and pages of crap that should be else where. People talking trash about developers, people fighting cause one person says yes but didn't read another's question. I wanted to learn how to make mods and work my way up to roms but I can't even find what Rom I want to use through all the crap. What happened to all that stuff being removed and such? Anyway enough of the soap box if there is anyone that really knows what their talking about like a mod. A developer or such that when they have time help me find a Rom that works for me. I asked before and got 2 roms recommended and of course the just try one till you like it but again I can't get through the crap on here. Sorry people who wasn't to talk trash about what a Rom did to your phone but if you would read through post without all the crap you can tell if you want to try it just by responses. Anyway any help would be helpful. Thanks for reading.

Just some advice, not trying to be rude or anything, but most people won't read a big wall of text like that. Break up your post into a few paragraphs so that it's readable and you'll get a lot better response.
I get what your saying, but that's also my point I have read long blocks of text about roms and problems. Give the reason why I didn't have to join till middle of this year to ask questions because answers where there. Not reading even if it's a wall of text seams to be part of the problem.

I can only speak for myself but as a long time user of Android this Dev is one of many top notch working on the SGSIII.
This rom is Solid, stable and my DD.
YMMV

Story of every devs life, they should up the post count to 30 to keep noobs out of development with their useless questions. Although that wouldn't deter them much. What were you running previously on your s2(aokp,cm,what was the base)? That would help with pointing you in the right direction ROM wise

I was running blazer as my daily driver. I thought out was a great Rom for the s2. I'm not big on the nexus look. Which most roms do but I guess I could also theme one away from that look.

Blazer ROM on sprint for s3, you could flash that if you get sprint modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746184
Or there are ways of porting it. Supposed to be a script someewhere around here. Gonna have to search for that though if you want blazer. Oh wait I found it:

On the at&t side I would recommend frosty jellybean or dragon origins 3.0, both are touch wiz based.
Aosp, I'd recommend tasks aokp, paranoid android, or paranoidkangdroid. Hope this helps.

I know this gets a little into the problem you commented on in the OP, but a lot depends on a couple of things. Do you like TouchWiz? If you do there a few options, a few of them will be ICS(LH1) and a few are Jelly Bean. Personally the best one out there is Triune(Not that any others are bad), there are also a couple of TW JellyBean ROM's too, Serenity 1.2 is a AT&T Rom ported from the Note II, which I have great luck with. If you are not interested in a "stock" ROM, then we're talking CM or AOSP, and obviously CM10(JB) is a huge name out there, but in the AOSP world there is Task's, The Collective, and Liquidsmooth. I haven't run Liquids yet, but my phone REALLY liked The Collective's ROM. For me, the only JB Roms that dont crush my battery is The Collective's AOCP, and with the Stock TW Roms, it doesnt get any better than Triune II
I know it's kind of a pain to wade through, but unfortunately, you need to try them for yourself. It really is the only way

You are the second one to lead me towards that rom,i tried a few jb roms today and had some issues, same as when i had the s2, before ics all the ics roms had problems. Which is probley why i stuck with blazer since it was a gb based rom with upgrades. Thanks for all the help to es veryone who has responded also. I understand you have to play around with the roms some i guess my bigger question was how did xda dev. forums get so childish. Seams to be alot of arguments that dont need to be there. I couldnt belive it when i seen people telling devolpers to hurry up,and if they dont update there rom every 2 weeks they should be shut down?? It just crawled all over me because they dont have to be doing any of this. I mean my kids dont yell at the people that dont GIVE them the good candy during trick or treat.

Yeah, some of the users can get a bit childish in their expectations and their responses. It can be a little trying sometimes, and I've seen more than one dev step out because of it. It's too bad. But, people have also started stepping up and reporting bad posts to the mods, which seem to help some. With the amount of users here now, it's a little to be expected. You have to have the good with the bad
I've been reading alot...and... well I'm not sure. I returned my Nexus 4, for various reasons. So I am looking at either the GNII (Note 2), or the GS3.
I am on AT&T btw.
I am mainly wanting a good CM-AOKP rom that will give me stock goodness with all the extra lovely settings. I'd rather not have anything experimental.
Someone told me this phone was just recently unlocked? If he was correct? So am I to assume there are no good daily driver roms?
Can people for god sake stop posting questions in random sections and post in Q&A section?
to be nice an answer your question no one can answer that what fits someone else wont fit you its a trial and error thing, just keep try them until you find the one best suited for you...
Are you looking to buy an at&t version? If yes then this is not the right forum. This is for international GN III. Recently unlocked? You mean verizon GN III bootloaders? If yes then please read more before buying
what? the last part makes no sense at all. and wrong section bro

I'm still on stock and don't intend to switch until something really interesting comes along. has been treating me great and it's fast without all the trouble of custom roms.
hey all, i know this is prob an annoying question but im looking for the best, least buggy rom for the sprint s3. im going to be rooting my phone within the next 20 minutes and i would love to hear whats the best rom out there for us.
SS odexed blue holy grail is a good one in my opinion. Its been running smooth for me and great battery life if you and in ktoonsez kernel in it. Try it out and see if that works for ya.

"Best" is a relative term.
But I prefer to use StrongSteve's Blue Odex.

Depends on what you want. I prefer a stock touchwiz, but I love AOSP Cm 10 because it is mostly stable. If you like to customize though use AOKP.
Galaxy S3.
In before lock!:good:
This thread will be going to the graveyard. Due to opinions varying so much and everyone using their phones differently,There isn't really a definate Best rom.. Nothing against OP or anyone else in here. But i know the mods lock atleast 3 of these a week.

Just look around. Some people find 4G unnecessary while others dont, so they consider no 4G a bug. This is very subjective and I highly doubt that anyone but you would be able to state a rom that matches your needs and usage. You could also look around, there have been at least 5 threads in the past week where people have asked this exact same thing.
They are all the best. This is why these threads are closed.
No one can tell you what is best for you. You have to try them and you have to read like everyone else did.
Thanks

i wish our note 2's had as much love form developers as the s3 does the got so many roms to choose from compared to us.
Ummm our n2 already has great support and leaks...
Plus that phone has been out longer.....
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss

I'm sure almost anyone with an S3 would gladly trade you phones..If you're getting let down by the amount of developers here..I think once we get some more ports from other note 2's it'll be better.

I was talking paper release, hoss which IIRC was May-ish. But that is by memory after 1/2 an Irish Ale.
Besides, I'm allowed to round up at the half year point anyhow. Uncle Sam wants rounded dollar figures sent to the IRS, so I can do it too.

Yeah but being out on paper does nothing for development. So it really doesn't count until it's released since you can't very well develop for a device when you don't have access to it or its firmware and sources.

Ya wanna count access to rooting, ROMs, and firmware...well our Note2 has had dev activity for less than half the amount of time the S3 had. Any way ya slice it, the N2 is a new device without even a stable Cyanogen or AOKP yet. Once Cyanogen hits a stable, we'll probably see more action. We'll also see more action when Sammy/Sprint finally get 4.2 officially to us.
im not saying im ungrateful for the developers we have i thing they are awesome and i love there work im just saying its seems like the s3 has a new rom every week and i think its just because its cheaper and more mainstream then our phones. but i our phones are so much nicer and so much faster. it jkust seams like theres more developers over there then here.
Let's see....
Official CM 10.1? Check.
TWRP? Check
CWM? N7100 works but I'm working on a L900 specific one now.
AOSP builds? Quite a few unofficials out there as well.
TW themed ROMs? Also quite a few out there.
Not sure what you're looking for... but chances are it's here or on the way if requested.
just more choices in roms like how many different lk8 roms are there just saying i think theres a lot more roms for s3 then ours seems like more developers over there i wish there were more over here.

No I'm not saying we don't have the different roms, just saying its seems we don't have the amount of updates and variety that the s3 has. I'm very thankful for what we have. I just feel they have more developers and thats my question is why our far superior phone doesn't have as many developers.
A lot will change whenever we get an OTA. Hopefully soon.
cool thanks

it's simple demographics. the device simply doesn't have as many users.
that being said, I know many SG3 owners with buyers remorse, once they see the GN2. even a few that exchanged them. and a dev or two that snapped one up when they played with one.
we get plenty of love.
ROMS are either AOSP based or Touchwiz based. This phone has two official OTA's, the one that came on it and LJC or whatever. If your looking for touchwiz, it will be based on the code from one of those two or a leak. If your looking for AOSP, its going to be based on CM10, or 10.1 plus whatever else you like. Either way, all the ROMS are based off one of two different sources and just added themes and/or tweaks. I personally am fond of AOSP, so I play with those all the time. What kind of ROM do you want that we dont have? Sense? Blur? Good luck getting any of that on a Samsung. I have to agree with garwynn, we have CM10.1, AOKP, Liquid, Carbon, Paranoid, Baked, etc., plus the Touchwiz stuff. I think the devs we have on this phone are doing a pretty freaking amazing job so far. What ROM(s) are you looking for?

more touchwiz themes like lk8 roms and more themes i really wish i had the time to sit down and learn all this stuff to theme and everything Im to busy and it seems with each phone a lot of stuff changes. Idk and I didnt say anything about the different roms we have I just said s3 has more variety of touchwiz roms and more developers does it not seem like theres a new rom over there everyday lol. Im a flashaholic sorry.
Ps jellybomb from josh beach and h2o from dan are the sh!ts

Thats the thing though, they are all the same rom, just themed different and there might be a few extra tweaks in it. I use AOSP because there is a lot more you can do with it, and there are a ton of themes available for it. Being a themer myself, I will mix and match different theme apks to make a theme I like. I think that it would be worth while for you to start venturing into themes and how to do it. If you learn how to use the Vertimus universal method, it makes themeing a lot easier because you dont have to recompile each time you change an image, etc.
I really hope Samsung and Google back off and allow cyanogen and aokp to have multiwindow type functionality. Now that we have an overclocking kernel and tethering on stock based roms there's less of an incentive to move to. CM until Samsung drops support. Not having multiwindow would really suck, maybe Google will put in aosp
I really wish this thread would be locked just as fast as other have been before it.

Hi Ally, anyone knows when are they releasing the Jedi X Rom for Sprint users??
All of these views and nobody reponds, I hope this week tho
Sent from my SPH-L900
looks like a nice rom hope it releases soon
As far as I know, Jedi is developed by a single guy, and if he hasn't released it for Sprint by now, I would doubt he ever will. At this point I would think our best bet would be looking into porting it. I think there is a guide here in the Development or maybe General section telling how to run Note 2 ROMs from other carriers on a Sprint Note 2... from what I read in the thread it looks like people have had varying degrees of success.
I wish
This ROM looks so kewl and every review about Jedi X looks like this is a sure bet. I hope myself and others like me will be able to experience it on the SPH-L900. Crossing my fingers:fingers-crossed:
