which ROM would you suggest? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

tired of changing from rom to rom.
Guess I need a clean stock ROM. Tw themed.
Could you give me a hand here?
Thanks!

For the first time since I got my phone I'm using a tw Rom, DanDroid and it's absolutely amazing. Get the look of aosp with all the features you can ask for.

I don't usually answer to these question but really it's near impossible for us to find the ROM for you. You have different needs and taste.
That being said, it should make it fairly easy for you to find the ROM that suits your needs. You don't have to flash them one by one. Simply look at their features, changelog and what users have to say about it.
And if you're really looking to be told which one to use for "best" w/e, go through the dev section and look at the more active threads, chances are that they're the most popular

Look into Jedi academy. It has a very nice white S4 style, and has great battery life.

The post is not ment to see which rom is better! There are now 7 or 8 roms for our device, I don't want to flash all of them then figure out that the one I was using was best for my needs. So I wanted to know why people were using their specific rom and why because it could help people determine whether to flash that rom or not. So chill out!

That's why the dev puts the features in the op. So you can see if you want to flash. Then if you read a Page or two of the posts you can see what people are saying about it. Basically all rooms are the same at this point. Some just have extra mods or are themed. Try one... or two. Every one had different uses and preferences. So what I say is the best you may hate.

Does the S-Pen dot while hovering still show in CM? I was hoping that maybe that would be supported natively.

I would doubt it. The s-pen is a Samsung thing. AOSP doesn't support it. I THINK the guys working on a CM10 port here are trying to make it work though. I guess it will have to be some kind of CM10/Samsung Franken-ROM. lol
Been switching between Jedi and clean roms... Both are great roms. Been running jedi 6.1.2 for the last two days and have to say i love it. But i will be checking out clean rom 3.3 soon to see how it runs.
Jedi all the way.. It's a smooth and stable daily driver with everything you will need to get the most out of your Note 2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 Jedi v6.1.2
Using Jedi X6.1.2 and have not seen a flaw.... I like to play around with different roms usually but it will take some miracle to move me off this one. Best of all worlds... using nova launcher touch wiz features and spen heavily. Happy guy here
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I tried Jedi rom first because I do not want to mess around with glitches and want as stable of a rom as possible that gives me the features I want. I will go into a rom thread and check the date of the OP's last update. Then I jump to that date in the thread and start reading about the latest release to see what people's opinions are. Everyone loved the Jedi rom and now I do to. There is not a single thing I can find that doesn't work with it. It is fast, stable and had the multi window feature that has not been released on my AT&T phone yet. Although flashing can be fun, I don't want to keep flashing all the time, so I want to be as stable as possible. Jedi for the win.
The only thing I didn't like about Jedi was the branding text on the bottom of the notification drawer and the lock screen. Anyway to turn those off?

I don't like it too. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929217 make a backup!
I started with CleanROM but ended up switching to Jedi as well. Been running it since 3.1 and now I'm on 6.1.2. Very stable, great performance, can't find any excuse to flash another.
I'm sticking with stock unrooted with Nova launcher. I've spent way too many hours rooting/unrooting and flashing roms on my last two Android phones (SII Skyrocket & SIII) only to find out each rom had glitches. Stock has great battery life, works with the S-pen, and just works as it should.
That's what im doing but having a hard time not flashing or rooting !!!! I may have a breakdown soon lol

Jedi 6.1.2 is the best rom out there and i can promise you one thing, i have tried all of them but this rom is something else . go for it

There is a banned ROM/Kernel that's way closer to being pure AOSP over anything else. Haha I wont tell you where to find it but dig around. :laugh: Im currently using it and its blown my mind why I ever used that lag fest TW stuff. 70% battery left, phones been on for 12 hours and thats on the first boot also, cant wait for it to settle.

Also, does this banned ROM have a smooth handoff between 3G/LTE/WiFi?
I ask because I have flashed several AOSP and AOKP ROMs and they all seemed to struggle for signal strength (thus, draining the phone battery much faster than a TW ROM).

[Q] Any ROMS with original S3 look?

So I know that ROMS aren't only for looks. I know they're good for making the system run smoother and heard in some cases, it can save battery life. But unfortunately I never liked any of the looks of the ROMS. I remember having CM10 at one point and crying to get back to the stock ROM. So are there any ROMS that are better for the phone but still give you the original S3 look?
Yes, and you can find them in the Dev forum.

[Q] Is it possible to get multi-view on ParanoidKangDroid ROM

I have the ParanoidKangDroid v.2.30 ROM. I saw that they updated the stock TouchWiz which allows you to have multi view on the s3. I want multi-view on my ROM, is it possible?

the stock TW you speak of is 4.1.2 and includes mulitview on the international stock firmware only.
for a custom ROM with that feature, you will have to flash one in which the framework allows. there are a couple in android dev section. i'm not sure of their stability. i've heard good things about csrom thebmb

Didn't really like CSROM to well because it seemed like a basic themed TW, I was hoping it would come with more features like PIE or different UI's.
however if it had features like paranoid androids roms then i'd take it. I like to have the Tablet UI and PIE controls which is why I stick with AOSP, AOKP. Could someone speak with a developer about porting Multi-View to AOSP?
I appreciate everyone's help!

As long as source code for TW stays unreleased its impossible to port. That's why no devs bother to try and port. Its going in blindfolded. Same with Sense and other UI overlays. So when Samsung releases source code it'll be possible.

If you like all the new features and options of the Galaxy S4 which are advertised you will
really dislike any of the AOKP/AOSP/CM/MIUI roms.
All the Samsung and Touchwiz features and options are totally missing from those roms.
Those roms are as bare bone as possible. They don't even have wifi calling.
Even the excellent camera/camcorder is replaced with a very degraded camera app which
not only has most of the features and options missing, but the user interface looks like
somekind of home made app which does not even resemble the samsung camera.
But I know you will give the CM10 a try for sure, I did it way too many times in the past many
years and now I cannot think of even one good reason why anyone except for the developers
or people who really like to do a lot of experimentation with their phones flashing or using it.
Leaving a stock theme on your rom is perfect! Then people can theme their own phone because not everyone likes one theme!
About mods, just speed and battery life! Those two are important in my opinion!

I personally love the AOSP feel. As far as theme goes. But when it comes to performance I love stock Touchwiz on my Note II. So thats what I will aim for.
And how is the battery life on this phone? I heard from some people that it is really good and others that it isnt.
