Recently i got the AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 I747 STOCK JELLY BEAN ON 4.1.1 from GALASXY S2 SKYROCKET (at&t) also but i need the best combo (kernel+ROM) but its hard to find one
here is what am looking for:-
- good, stable DATA/MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION (MUST HAVE) IMPORTANT
- bloatware free
- fast/overclocking
- easy/not too complex that will fup my phone
- anything that i have not mentioned is relevant too
- other great features like Bravia engine, goo manager, extra features that make it more awsome
- cyanogenmod stable qualities (bug free) sleek, smooth, fast UI and transitions
any kind of idea is valid, open to every suggestion
If you are looking for a touchwiz ROM, go try S3Rx. If you are looking for a pure android based ROM, go for Task's AOKP. I think those are some of if not the best Roms of their kind.

That's for you to experiment and decide not everyone has the same experience on a rom.
Just make a backup of your current setup and start flashing away.
Trial and error.
I may be new here but I know enough, To tell you no one is going to answer your question. A Rom that works for one person is not necessarily the same Rom that will work for another. Flashing Rom's is about hopefully stability, if your lucky speed and battery life, but most importantly about customization. I just started flashing Roms and am still looking for the one I want. I'm sure as soon as I find it a new release will come out and I will get to start over again. As for Kernels I am not comfortable enough to delve into that yet...Good luck...

Best S3, non touchwiz ROM I have found is SlimBean. Not as flashy as some but rock solid/stable with the best battery life I have found so far. Like CM, it is backed by team of devs versus some roms that just have chefs that mix/match/blend features together.
i have been on that PATH as in trying different ROMS but once i tried several i completely fup my DATA/mobile network, i would text and call but my internet (not to be confused with WIFI) stopped working and yu know as a tech savvy guy yu gotta try everything little trick yu know to fix it but there was nothing
forced to use wifi until the day i bought the AT&T S3 and i have my data internet connection working again
i need a ROM that doesnt leave me with no DATA CONNECTION
restoring from nandroid backups helps and sometimes it might not work , other than CM which other ROMS THAT CAN KEEP UP WITH MY DATA CONNECTION

Glad to here it. I have not been brave enough to get into kernel flashing yet. Can you tell me was it a simple flash? How do you revert back to a stock kernel? I here there is a lot of tweaking to do with some kernels? Was Ziggy's pre-set?

You just flash it the same way you do with a ROM. Remember you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the kernel and if you dirty flash roms, you have to reflash the kernel each time because the stock kernel overwrites it. You revert back to stock kernel by flashing the ROM again or finding the kernel zip and flashing it separately. You can undervolt and overclock with a different kernel that allows it.

Right now, I'm running:

I'm planning on trying out decimalman's kernel playground, after a failed attempt to run KT747. From what I can tell KT747 doesn't seem 100% compatible with TW4.3 (I can't vouch for any other ROMS, though). Has anyone else had success with a TW4.3 ROM and KT747?
Anyways, what are you running? I'd be interested if anyone has found some good stuff for TW4.3.
KT747 and S3rx was my daily ROM but now I use KT747 on DocHolliday's 4.4 sprint leak.

True, I stay on TouchWiz mostly for the Wi-Fi calling. I think the best feature is seriously the Samsung keyboard with the row of numbers up top (I think that's extracted from the Notes).

yo anthonol u said u gotz multiboot recovery. but how is that better than TWRP or CWM?
and how long do your battery last?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah! It's TWRP with Multiboot feature actually, see here
It's better than CWM for me because it flashes all the ROMs I know of that CWM can flash and it has a more user friendly UI with the fact that it can boot 2 ROMs alternately....
In terms of battery life, I average about 41/2hrs on screen time with data or wifi on and about 6hrs with wifi or data off... With minimal use battery will last for about 12 to 14hrs and when I use DU Battery Saver power saving settings with minimal use it's about 16-17hrs.... Battery life varies a lot depending on usage, how bright the screen is and how much apps are syncing and believe me, I have a lot of apps syncing....
Guys, please note, the purpose of this thread is specifically to JUST list what you have got on your Device and that's it.
It is not the purpose of this thread to discuss WHY YOU HAVE SOMETHING THERE.

Is there any ROM that has Lollipop + TouchWiz?
I'd love to install lollipop in my note 2 but i have the problem of having a galaxy gear 2. Although gear manager for lollipop is available in the samsung Apps store, and i can edit the build.prop to download it, the gear manager still needs TW to function properly.
Is there any way to get android 5.0.x with touchwiz (Maybe it doesn't need to be active, just the files for the gear to work? ).

I use a note 2. Currently on DN4v2 and love it too.. but would love to see development of this rom for the note 2. AOSP/OMNI/SLIM are all great roms but when it comes to stylus functions which i use for office works to take quick notes etc etc, these cynogenmod based roms lack the stylus function completely rendering 1/4th of the note series main function useless.
I have tried AOSB (my personal favrit) and Resurrection remix lollipop- (the best lollipop rom out there) and very stable too but because of loss of pen functions i had to revert back to a touchwiz rom. current best touchwiz rom is DN4 for note 2. can some one start working on this?? we will support u.:laugh::good::silly:

fully aware my friend.. they require scipts to be excuted...3 to 4 apps to be installed to call back apps and activate them...and not to mention the high battery drain using those apps. I cant beleive that despite so many open source roms being made, no one makes spen functions possible with rom or even as an extra flashable zip. but thanks though:laugh:
Yeah, that could be like a couple of months or so. Now there are stock roms for the S5 that pack touchwith. Also the gear manager has been updated to work with android L sadly it requires yet the touchwith to work.
Could be possible now to pack any aosp/cm roms that could bring the functionality of Tw, even if is only for the Samsung apps to work?

Define smoothly…
1. Make a backup.
2. DL the rom and try it out.
3a. Revert back.
3b. Stay with the new rom.
Follow this guide and you will get the answer you seek.
Any luck soon???

Any lollipop rom really!!
But my favorite is validus rom
I'd like a slimmed down rom for the p5210 that supports Chromecast so that I can continue to use this as my entertainment hub at home. Right now I am running stock KK. I have removed some unnecessary apps and installed a lot of good stuff but the limited ram here really makes this tab sluggish at times. Even if you could port the slim rom for the p5200 to this device I'd be ecstatic. S.O.S.
Maybe?
An updated version of PAC ROM for the SM-210/R would be super awesome! :laugh:
Any updated rom for sm-t113, i will help test .. currently there is no recovery nor any custom rom for this new tab 3. None at all.... thanks in advance!
Cheers!
I REALLY want a stock lollipop 5.1 ROM for SM-T210R! There is a Galaxy Tab 3 Lite lollipop ROM that you might be able to port over or build from...
Low ram use with long battery life that dual boots kitkat and this
I would love to have a 4.4.2 KK rom on SM-T110 ported from T210, that would be awesome, i don't know why samsung won't do Official KK for Lite T110. I can be a tester ofcourse

Yeah, I wish someone can continue development on the existing CM 11 ROM. But that will be hard to do, especially when the proprietary drivers are hard to reach. Or, what is there I can do to help speed up this ROM's development?
CM finally for T211
pls
A clean fast 4.4.2 ROM. That will support Kodi, so it can be used as a media center (addon).
Now lets just hope it's for the SM-T210 model.
Hmmm kodi does sound awesome
If you want to do the Galaxy Tab 3 community a favour, you could build a pure, AOSP ROM for the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T210/R). There practically are none, the one's I could find run some deodoxed and/or debloated form of the stock Touchwiz for 4.1.2 or 4.4.2. A Cyanogmod would be nice, 10,11, or even 12 and 12.1 be amazing!! And I would be more than willing to test the ROM on my SM-T210R.
A gaming rom with internet streaming via kodi that can also boot into kitkat might be a good idea to make for gamers it should use less than 50 mb of RAM to be MLG ... unless jellybean has reasons to be existent... im pretty sure everybody likes kitkat better
Yeah current minimal requirements for Kodi Android (current/latest version) is 4.4.2 so anything above will do.
For the love of god, PLEASE, someone build ANYTHING for t110 beyond 4.2.....how the hell is this tab stuck on jb???? I'm so confused!!!! I've never seen a device get the red headed step child treatment so bad in my entire life!
Bonus points for AOSP, or even ANYTHING not touchwiz.....hell, I'd rather see iOS running on this thing!
Seal 4 was a good rom but would like to see if lollipop can run on this tab 3 t210r. Will test.
I am coming from the Note 2 and on that phone I used RWilcos Mostly Stock ROM which is basically just the stock ROM with small tweaks, root, bloatware removed etc.
It did not have any bugs that effected the functionality which I've seen with other ROMs (CM etc).
Does anyone have a recommendation for a 100% functional stable ROM almost that won't remove all the great Note features but still have the added features and performance, battery life , root etc of the custom ROMs?
Thanks for any help.

First of all, is the phone new and already updated to stock 5.1.1?
If so you have a locked bootloader (but still have options) .
If you have 5.0.1 or older version your in luck.

CM and ports require more attention whether it be developer, user or both.
Stock-like TW narrows it down for you. IMO, the two most active and capable developers in TW for Sprint Note 4 are tx_dbs_tx and freeza. They both have released very stock and also modified ROMs. Then there's OBAR that got a lot testing and users as well to make sure the bugs were squashed; still has support and also user community support.
If you don't want to get into kernel tweaking but want something with default and optimization out of the box- better than stock, consider freeza's Beastmode kernel or the newer Rage kernel that is integrated in Note 4our ROM (Don't be put off by the beta; it's stable but more customization is expected). Otherwise, take your pick and run the included kernel or choose another custom Android 5.1.1 kernel like AEL or Emotion for Sprint Note 4.
Personally, I prefer freeza's kernel. I've posted some battery stats in freeza's Beastmode kernel and Note 4our ROM threads.
I couldn't narrow it any further than this. You'd have to decide yourself or try as many as you like to make a definitive decision. Lots of choices and opinions vary; that's a good thing.

Which one of freeza's kernels gives better battery? Have you compared them to AEL? I'm using AEL 6.2,and while it has decent battery, it lags a bit.

IMO, they're equal on battery.
Rage may be slightly better on multitasking but there's extra scripts in play with the integrated ROM.
No lag but I've ran freeza kernels since Beastmode because they're close to stock with no setup to tweak.
Prior to that, I preferred stock kernel but thanks to Samsung, can't run it with root anymore. No recent compare to AEL or Emotion.
