One of the big things when installing a kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S III is that the kernel being installed had to be built on the same day or earlier as the rom installed or the phone wouldn't boot. Is it the same for this device?

No, you can have stock 4.3 with any kernel you want.

Sweet! Thanks. Would you happen to know why the Galaxy s III kernels worked that way?

You just flash back to stock rom to get the updates. But the point is once rooted your rom of choice will be updated probably faster than the Google update gets pushed to your phone.
^ This!!!
And why have a galaxy nexus if you want to go back to stock for ota? Its a development device....use the roms the devs release for it...lol.
Do I understand this correctly? Clockwork mod recovery with stock ICS will not give OTA updates from Google???

Yes...although im not sure why this concerns anybody. As fast as development is moving on this device, the devs will have updates out as fast or faster than google releases them via ota.

The problem with roms is that it's not 100% stable. I came from htc dinc, i havent seen any stable rom for it.

You can flash the official roms from google with cwm. This way you have your updates faster.
But I should choose a developer rom they have awsome features.

Eventually I will be rooting my nexus but I'm wondering what is out right now that is worth rooting?
I know this phone is fairly new so I know there are betas out there
Is there a rom that is pretty solid?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Being that it's a nexus...
The roms are built (primarily) from source. And otherwise cherry-picked from other roms.
As such, they are ALL very stable, that I've seen.
The choice is yours.
Root access adds so much to the device...even without a custom rom.
The ability to back your system up.
Back up user apps to transfer to future devices/restore on your current device in the case of failure of some sort...
Better battery life from custom kernels/tweaks/etc.
Pretty much this

if you're just rooted, you cant switch kernels unless you're also unlocked.

This is incorrect. Of course you can flash whatever kernel you want if you have root. No need for an unlocked bootloader. (This isn't a Motorola device...)

You can flash kernels on the fly, with Android running, so this its correct, you dont need a unlocked bootloader to flash kernels...

main reason to root.. custom roms of course. Other good reasons are AdAway and DroidWall (good to block apps from using 3g if you have a crappy data allowance like me)

ok so i managed to root my phone yaaay...thanks to this great community
one problem tho, it seems that the custom recovery wont stick, when i try and reboot into recovery i get this android with a red yield sign thing
I think custom recovery won't stick on stock rom, it resets itself

Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on Android that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from the Market). Delete the file recovery-from-boot.p from /system. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or use Rom Manager (free) from the market.
It'll remove that file as well.
I got it all working now thank you everyone for the help !
Now to search for the best custom rom

I have MANY reason for rooting a device. At the top of my list is something I didn't see anyone else mention: WiFi Tether, so I dont have to pay my carrier a monthly fee for tethering.

I used Rom Manager to flash mine...on an AT&T SGS3. No issues here. Make sure you select model d2att.
Make backup!
Flash new bootloader in fastboot
Reboot into recovery (I used TWRP)
Factory reset
Flash 4.3 Maguro ROM
Flash Toro Switch v4
reboot
Enjoy!
Root is lost, recovery (TWRP) still intact.

Just checked tiny's thread, I don't think he has released a kernel for android 4.3. His current kernel release is 4.3.0 which is only for android 4.1.x and 4.2.x.

I honestly have not seen it in our forums, search for it and if its not here then it does not support it, do NOT try to flash it in this case.. It could have been a T-Mobile S3 for another country, not the U.S. variant

Each kernel is different so I don't know. Personally I just used stock on demand and runs great for me. A balance between performance and battery life.. I don't like to sacrifice performance
