[Q] ROM Suggestions

Now i'm a new Samsung Galaxy S III user, just switched from an iPhone 4S on 2/19/13 and currently very happy and loving it more than the iPhone!
Anyway, I got a friend with a Galaxy S III and he suggest I should flash LiquidSmooth ROM, I did and I like it but i'm looking for something a bit more......bug free. Anyone got any suggestions? Pros and Cons to ROMs?
I heard that ParanoidAndroid is good but not sure, feedback?
Thanks!

Welcome to android!
Before a mod shuts this down because these types of threads don't get to stay I will tell your best bet is to read, read some more and then try some out. There a lot of great roms but your the only one who will know if its right for you.
Good luck

I suggest a stock type ROM. Head over to the android development thread and try a few out. These keep stock feel but little tweaks here and there. SGS3 is quite easy to root and fix mistakes. Root, flash a recovery and explore some ROMs.

Its definitely a matter of personal preference, but my opinion is task 650 AOKP. By itself its a best but coupled with ktoonz kernel you'll be showing it off. As already stated the best thing you can do is read everything not just about a ROM but also kernels and general works, hate to see devs leave because people don't read everything before questioning them to death. Good luck and Happy flashing

best rom for battery life
Hey guys.. so glad this thread is open! Did hours of reading and said eff it...I'm signing up haha
Ive been a proud gs3 ower for a while now and have tried everything from CM, Liquidsmooth, AOKP, and many others. However, I have yet to find a rom with a good battery life. Is it true that there isn't really such thing?
I'm currently running the Liquid-JB-v2.1 . Seems to be running ok with only minor bugs.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Battery life is weaker because those are the all aosp/aokp based on early stage 4.2 roms. Try a touchwiz rom until those get ironed out. I recommend intergalactic or dandroid or loserrom.

I've been running vanilla root box 3.6 and love it. Everything works for me. No issues. Great. Battery life for what its worth

task gives plenty of help if you either a) post in the q&a forum with problems or b) post your bugs after full wipe with the appropriate logcats and last_kmsg. Its not his fault if most people are ignorant and don't read the OP. His ROM is one of the most stable I've been on.

If you want to stay on Touchwiz, then DarthStalker (4.1.1)...otherwise Task650 (4.2.2).

no one care about you *hide*
best way to know is you yourself try out the roms that you see fit(read their changelog, features and try them out yourself)

Opinions are for those social websites....XDA is a Development Site!
Enough of this thread, and since it has crashed and burned, THREAD HARD CLOSED!

Best 4.2 Original Development ROM

Hello I've been using touchwiz based roms and feel like using a more vanilla based ROM and was wondering what's the best build and that is glitch free. I'd greatly appreciate your commentary

"Glitch Free" is a relative term. All 4.2.x Roms have some glitches, but there are many glitches that I overlook because they don't affect me.
That being said, the best way to find out which Rom you want to use is to try them out! The three that I always cycle through are:
LiquidSmooth (this is my base, I flash others to compare it to this)
Slim Bean
Carbon Rom
Now there are other ones that people have said good things about, including (but not limited to):
Deviant Xone
PAC Rom
Hope this helps, even though I basically just replicated the front page of the Original Android Sub-forum.

You can't really have a "best" ROM. The effectiveness of a ROM depends on the user. Every user has different needs. If you're looking for the most stable ROM out there, your best bet is staying on stock touchwiz. If you're looking to try out AOSP, you'll have to flash a couple of ROMs. I run Slim Bean build 3. The newest build is on Linux 3.4 and I have found bad battery life. Build 3 was released only a couple weeks ago. Using dkp kernel and Slim build 3, I have found these to be my "best" setup. I am finding very little bugs and I have great battery life and performance. You'll have to flash a few ROMs and kernels before you find out what works best for you. Have fun flashing! Good luck mate

@OP
If you're asking for a "best" ANYTHING, you should think twice before posting. As said, this is all relative. It depends on your usage, your definition of "stability", and what you consider to make something "good".

When I say the "best" I mean exactly what I said. What is the best to you and there are many ROMs that are very stable. But what's the most stable version of that ROM.

To seek the impossible dream, to reach for the unreachable star,..... Your asking a question that only you can answer for yourself. If you search you will see this has been asked 100ds of times in these forums and most of these threads get locked.

[Q] Out of the loop... NEED HELP!!

OK, I used to flash ROMs like it was my job about 1.5 years ago on my Galaxy Vibrant. When I got the SGS3, I decided that I was just going to root it and leave ONE ROM on it and leave it alone. I have been running AKOP Milestone-1 for the longest time.
Now it's time to flash something new and STABLE. I am looking for a ROM without any fuss and not a lot of bugs. AKOP Milestone-1 has bugs and I am finally tired of dealing them. Not have NFC has become annoying now that a lot of my friends have a NFC capable device.
As a community, what would you recommend for me to use as a ROM? What is the best kernel to use as well for this phone?
Thank you in advance....

This is a disguised best ROM thread. There are literally hundreds of threads just like this one. It's always an opinion. The only correct answer is: try them yourself, through your own trial and error, find the one that works for you.
If you don't want to update all the time, AOSP/AOKP is not for you. I will tell you that much.

The best, fully functional, most stable rooted ROM for any phone is a stock rooted unmodified ROM running the stock kernel. If you're looking for tweaks, add-ons, etc., you have to choose for yourself. Absolutely no user on here can advise you on that.

If you don't want to update often, then go with a touchwiz based rom. They work great, have nice mods, and are super stable.
I've used Wicked and Stockorama. Both great roms to me and have never let me down.

[Q] What is the smoothest AOSP rom for the galaxy s III?

I am looking for the smoothest AOSP rom. Things that matter most to me are things like scrolling through the home screen and the app drawer with no stutter. What is the best rom for that? Also good battery life is a plus.
Thanks!

I've only ever used Tasks AOKP. And it is really nice. I never had any issues with it.

I can vouch for Task650's AOKP ROM as well. I'm also currently using the PAC-Man Nightly, it's also a really, really good ROM.
Also this might be the wrong section so be prepared for people to yell at you haha.

They all have been really impressive for me but I keep going back to liquid smooth or pac I typically only run for one or two days tops just enjoy trying them all out

There is no specific ROM. There are multiple AOSP roms to choose from. Each brings its own specialties with it. Many are smooth but may not work great on your specific phone. Just try them out and choose the one you like. All of the ones that have been mentioned are great ROMs. I have also ran (and am currently running) CM 10.1.2 to give it a whirl. I have also ran Task650 AOKP which is outstanding.

Illusion ROM is a go! :thumbup:
Current ROM: Illusion v2.0.
Kernel: BMS. (Latest Version)
Hit the thanks button if I helped. [:

I recently started running hellfire ROM and its super smooth no stutter and extremely responsive. This is my new daily driver for awhile.

Best? Smooth? Good Battery? All user dependent and user opinion. You need to try them for yourself to see what feels best for you and how YOU use your phone. This is why these threads are immediately closed. Also Questions go in Q&A.

Cleanrom users, what do you recommend

Didn't see a similar topic sorry if there's one like this already. Those of you who use Cleanrom, can you recommend similar ROMs that focus on stability and speed? Scott said he's stop developing and I was looking at Liquidsmooth. Any suggestions?

Seriously...
Enjoy Scott's builds...
Just because he "stopped" development for the MC3 builds doesn't make them bad...
His roms are excellent...and until an official 4.2.2 or higher build is released for this device...you are not going to find better TW builds anyway...g

Agreed. Scott's ROMs are as solid as they come, but if you absolutely have to flash something and you want TouchWiz, there's Jedi and Skynote.

I was holding out for cleanrom 5 on my recent warranty replacement, but decided to try skynote. I'm only on day 2, but so far it's performed equally well, although it is a bit more bloated.
I was also actually impressed with that stock Portuguese(?) rom that Scott posted recently. If I change my mind about skynote, I might just go back to that, and try to de-bloat it manually the best I can.

I recommend posting this in the Q&A section since it will probably get moved there anyway lol

I used both Clean ROM and Skynote, both are excellent but I love Liquid!!

I actually recommend this thread be closed.

Thread moved to the Q and A Thread, as that is where questions should go.
Thread also closed, as Best Rom threads are not allowed. Users must try and test roms on their own to determine what is "best" for them.
