It is a stock feature from Samsung, any official stock build on 4.1.2 will have it, with exception of the first sprint 4.1.2 build
AT&T does not offer this as stock yet, they are slow and have not released an official OTA of 4.1.2, flash a MF1 based ROM or a port from t-mobile if you're on 4.1.1
In my time developing and testing bases for my ROM, Canadian and Mexican bases > AT&T base

You can try the other custom
ROMs that have halo like paranoid rom. Halo is like a smaller version of that but also has different goodies.

Google Play Edition problem

I have installed Googl Play Edition 4.3 on my S4.
As a result, I have lost all of those cool Samsung features that rely on built in sensors
Is tgere any way to get those sensors working with Google play edition?
I mean things like turning pages by hand in the air above the phone, and scrolling ul and down by tilting the phone.
Thanks.
Is tbere a way to go back to Samsung stock rom? I did not back it up.

No TW features on 4.3. I think there was a minimal amount things on 4.2.2, but nothing really like the actual TW experience. If you want to go back stock, you have two choices: either Odin back to 100% stock and re-root... which is the boring way. OR you can d/l a modified/stock ROM and flash that with whatever custom recovery you have. Check the development sections; there are quite a few stock choices, and which one to pick just depends on whether you want it themed, bone stock looking, etc.
Thanks so much.
Do you have any recomedarions on modified stock Rom?
I am mostly concerned about a good battery life and speed of the device and getting back TW features.
By tbe way, do all midified stock Roms have TW features in them?
What are yiur recomedarions based on what I am looking for?
Thanks a lot

All modified stock ROMs have the TW features.
I've personally been using BobcatROM from the i9505 development section, but from what I could tell, the only differences between the modified stock are themes and small differences here and there. Just check a few out, if some of the tweaks or changes interest you, try it out.

Could you please point me to the right section to get modified original roms?
Is it in T-Mobile S4 Android Development section or t the T-Mobile S4 Android Original Android Development section?
I am not sure whether the original implies modified original rom section?
Would you also please include a link to where I can find your bobcat rom?
Thank you so much!

I gotta let you do SOME of the legwork But seriously, the mod/stock ROMs will be in Android Development and you can find kernels in the Original Development section. Considering you flash a T-Mobile kernel directly after flashing a ROM, you can use ROMs from any S4 development section including the "original development" section; be it AT&T, Sprint, etc. The only restriction is make sure not to flash a ROM from the i9500 section. The 9500 (Exynos octa-core) and 9505 (Snapdragon like the m919 and others) is the "international version" and share a forum; just different subsections dedicated to each one individually. The i9505 section is safe, which is where Bobcat is located. It's pounded into the ground, but it's worth mentioning again; if you rely on WiFi calling, you will want a T-Mobile TouchWiz ROM. If you're like me though and care nothing about WiFi calling then there's no reason to stick with only the T-Mobile ROMs unless you just prefer them.

ROMs do come with kernels, and that's why if you flash an S4 ROM from outside the T-Mobile section you need to flash a T-Mobile kernel. The T-Mobile ROMs obviously already have T-Mobile kernels. If you flash a ROM from the AT&T section, your device will be using an AT&T kernel and will not boot. But if you flash the AT&T ROM and flash a T-Mobile kernel directly afterwards, your device will then have the T-Mobile kernel and will run that AT&T ROM just like it was built for your device. The only way to retain your TouchWiz features is to use any ROM based on stock. If you want AOKP, CM, AOSP, etc you will lose all of the TW features. I think WatchON works on some (most?) non-TW ROMs now; but as far as things like Air Move, Smart Pause/Stay, the TouchWiz camera, and the other gimmicky features... they don't work outside of TouchWiz. Read up. Go to the dev sections and read, at the very least, the first post for the ROMs. That first post will almost always give you an idea of what features the ROM includes, screenshots of what it looks like, what's not working that is supposed to, and if it's TouchWiz based or CM/AOSP based.
And throw lordcheeto a thanks or two lets him know you appreciate his leg work and explanation.
Thanks so much for all this info!
Really appreciate it.

I myself have been thoroughly enjoying INFAMOUS S4. It has the features I need, is faster than stock, and is very stable with great battery life. Just did a full backup of 3.3 and upgrading to 3.4 as I type this

does INFAMOUS S4 rom get rid of the bloatware?

Sure does. They also have a zip with the bloat should you require it for some reason.

Instead of giving you a particular ROM suggestion, I'll give you the best way to find the one that best suits you. First, you have to decide what features you want. If you want all the smart stays, the air move, and the other Samsung stuff, you definitely want TouchWiz. If you want a (negligibly) more responsive feel that's more barebones and to the core of Android, go with one based on/around CyanogenMod (or even the Google Edition). Before flashing any new ROMs I'd spend at least an hour reading through both the Android Development and Original Android development sections. You don't have to read every page of every thread, but at the very least read the OP. You should know within the 1st page what features are included, whether it's TouchWiz or not, if it's themed, etc. Most of the TW ROMs are already debloated and will say so in the OP. The CM bases have no carrier bloat at all. If it interests you, take a look at the last few pages. The reason you want to read the last few pages is to get a feel of what bugs are present. As the ROMs get updated and the threads grow, chances are that problems reported on the 3rd page aren't going to be relevant on page 26. If you try one you like, make a nandroid backup of it and keep the backup updated: that way, if another one pops up that you want to try, or you just feel adventurous and want something new, you'll have your backup(s) and can much more easily surf between ROMs if you so desire.
I've gone through Wicked, Jedi, Infamous S4, Infamous Google Edition, and Alpha roms. Personally, I liked Jamison's Infamous roms the best. I'm currently on his Alpha rom, which is based on the international phone's firmware(or something like that?) and has no wifi calling. But it's pretty smooth. Currently Jamison seems to be the fastest on updating all three of his roms, so if you want continual added features/bug fixes go with any of his roms. Wicked was very nice and stable when I used it, but I got flash-happy and couldn't stick with it since he updates like once a month. In the end it's all up to you though.
P.S. The Infamous S4 and Alpha roms recently have had the Samsung apps added back in, not sure why cos I haven't really read all the posts in the thread. You can easily remove them yourself though.

Having some issues with my phone, need to reflash. Looking for the NEWEST stock ROM

Can someone point me to the newest, most de-bloated slimmed down stock ROM for the AT&T S3?
I've not touched my phone in so long flashing wise I don't even know what is what. I'm trying to find the most pure, de-bloated ROM that is just stock TW, rooted.
Thanks!
Maybe you'll want to take a look at this one then...
[ROM] Dandroid 3.8 MF1 4.1.2 TW [Final RC] Full AOSP CyanogenMOD Theme 07/25/13
I'm not running it at the moment, but as soon as I can spare a few hours, it's the next ROM I'll flash onto my S3.

Flashable MK3 roms?

I wanted to know which (STABLE) roms that are based on the MK3 build can be flashed on a rooted 4.3 OTA updated gs3. I have successfully flashed CM11(LATEST NIGHTLY), Slimbean with the exception of camera issues, and the latest M.O.A.R. rom. If anyone knows which other roms are based on the MK3 build please post them here! Thanks!
2 things
Questions belong in the Q and A section, as they are not development and the rules state such.
And
Questions about which rom is best have no place at XDA, as XDA is not a support site, users are expected to try them all and make their own, independant determinations as to what is best/stable for them.

Looking for a Custom ROM most like stock for Galaxy SIII

Hello all,
I am looking for a custom ROM for my AT&T sgh-i747 that most emulates Samsung's 4.3 Stock ROM. I am looking for all the features and functions that the stock rom has with all the rooted goodness.
Does such a thing exist?
Thanks in advance for your help

I recommend the deodexed version to be able to mod it easily.
This should be in the Q&A section
These type of threads get closed as they become discussions/arguments over which rom is best.
The question you pose is only one you can answer by testing, reading, and interacting with those members in the development threads.
As XDA is not a support site, members are expected to do their own research and experimentation in these matters.
Please head over to the development sections and enjoy,
