Hmm. ok soo I have been running CM 10.1.3 now for a few weeks and realy love it. But I cant seem to shake bluetooth problems (BT connection keeps dropping and stuttering). And that is extremely important to me, Car, home work all need streaming bluetooth. it will work fine for a bit then just starts skipping. Im trying one last fix but im not hopeful...soooooo its back to TW based roms for me I think.
I really want to be able to keep stock dialer and messages, I love that from AOSP (3rd party ALWAYS seem slow to me but i hate the colors of TW).
Ive been looking at the Hyperdrive Rom and Dandroid. (well Omega too, but i dont think we have a release for any 4.2.2 JB on TW for ATT yet, right?)
they both seem to be strong, and i know this is such a loaded question. Ive tried to go through at least the last 10 pages, plus first 10 pages of each ROM just to get a feel for each and i did see some BT issues but that doesnt seem to be the norm. and I do like the themeing that Dandroid did, but unsure on if any of the hyperdrive mods make it significantly better....
Anyone have any thoughts?
Oh i was on Synergy prior to moving to CM, and while it was rock solid, it seems to have stagnated a little.
thanks
S3Rx for the win!
Please try the ROMs for yourself and see how they work for you. Members on this development site are expected to do the research before drastically altering their $700 device. If you have a question whether Bluetooth works on a specific ROM either ask in Q&A or in the ROM thread if questions are allowed in that thread.
Thanks for your understanding

I think the title says it all....
I'm probably going to flash an ICS rom once they are out of Alpha.....
But for now.. thinking about moving over to plain jane Android... probably using ADW EX to theme it out like ICS (since ADW has the nice folder action)....
So people's opinion.. best NON SENSE Rom at the moment?
Latest Cyan? Bugless? The Kang'd one in the development thread? Another I don't know about?
Chime in... all opinions welcome (I would like to know "why" you are stating what you are though)...
p.s. no flaming others on this please It's purely opinions.. everyone is entitled...
p.s.s. any kernel advice is welcome as well
Seriously use Evervolv ICS rom preview 5. I am using it as my daily driver. I posted links to the rom, exchange.apk fix and gapps on rootzwiki. As I am not allowed to post links on xda at the moment you would have to go to rootzwiki.
What's not working on it? I take pics of my niece all the time (she's 4) so I need a working camera... don't care about video though....
Also I use this for navigation.... and part of where I drive is kinda crappy service.. so I have been using Navigon for those areas and the maps are on the SD card...
Also full bluetooth needed... as my car stereo has bluetooth and a mic behind the steering wheel....
edit: just tried.. and camera doesn't do panoramic.. only 4:3.... don't really care about video.. but want the other... so original question still exists.
Best NON SENSE Rom? Anyone?
I use Inc-Deck its a modified CM7, I think it feels a little less "fat" than cm7.
Bugless is also a stout option, either or.
Edit: To go back a ways OMGB is a solid rom, it was my daily for at least 2 months straight.
Got a link to Inc-Deck? I may be blind but I'm not seeing it in the development section... Mostly I want to get used to stock before a ICS build is ready for primetime...

It's tweaked just enough to make it feel a bit smoother than cm7 and it comes with the stock launcher. Also I'm not too sure about the bluetooth on this, I never use it but I haven't seen anyone complain about it.
Happy Flashing!
Give MIUI a try. I recently switched after using CM for about a year and am really happy with it. I think the ROM is much better than CM, although I hated the iPhone look to the ROM but I just use GO Launcher and go back to what my CM homescreens looked like. There are a few things I miss from CM, but overall really happy with MIUI
I flash a new rom about every day but cm9 has held me for a while so that would be my current daily that i would suggest to give a try to.
Not sure if a thread like this exists, I did look just not very long.
I've experimented with many ROMS since I got the phone when it first released, and what I've noticed is that whenever I have a Touchwiz rom, the sound is SOOOO much better as far as music goes. I am assuming, based on my limited linux knowledge, that this has something to do with the kernel or audio drivers. I recently started using an AOSP rom and love it but I also use my phone to work out at the gym and the music coming out of the headphones is pretty weak. Ive tried different DSP managers, different headphones, different music players, but I always end up going to a TW rom to get it working again. Anyways, what I guess I'm trying to ask is if this is even possible.
I also realize that this should be in the Dev sections but I dont post much so I dont have access. :laugh:
how and why should this be in the devs section :what:
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
-Galaxy Note II Edition

No this should not be in the dev section! Unless you are a dev you should not post a thread in the dev section, period. Yes it should be possible, essentially all you need to do is de-Touchwiz a Touchwiz ROM... I am new to Touchwiz tho, so I won't say it is for sure possible. I agree tho, the Touchwiz music player is better. My ROM that is about to drop in a few hours may work for you tho. It's not Touchwiz but has a lot of audio tweaking options.

I was just letting you know, so you don't get berated... uploading my ROM now
The thread is for users like me that i want it to try an aosp rom but i didn't know that it will ruine my GPS and the only way to fix it again is to go back to stock rom and again to root rom! So please if you don't want to loose your GPS don't flash AOSP roms!!! Only Touch Wiz.

This was a wasted and unnecessary thread, as well as naive and immature.
As far as we know, you did something incorrectly in your endeavor to transition from stock to aosp. Do not blame your mistake, a system error, bad download, etc on an aosp operating system that millions of phones have been flashed to and are running fine on.
My wife updated her stock S3 from ICS to jelly bean and had GPS issues for weeks. I had to wipe the whole phone and start over for her.
I would feel stupid if I was you.

It is a thread for newbies that they don't know the problems that an AOSP rom brings! I don't blame anyone dude i just want to warn people if you feel stupid for this so me too. And if you seek you will see many more people have problems from aosp roms so immature is your post ok?
I've been using AOSP based ROMs since October and not once have I had a single GPS issue. Sounds like there was definitely a user error. I don't think developers would release a ROM that knowingly disabled your GPS capabilities
I have been using Vanilla RootBox for months now with no issues whatsoever on my Galaxy 4g Touch. I don't understand why you say they ruin your GPS?

As i said before just look and seek about GPS problems there is a whole big thread about it....So and because every phone behaves different from others it's not bad for the users to know it.... I haven't a problem with Aosp Roms or developers i think they make great work. I just say my personal bad experience that is sure became from an aosp rom. Many people have the same problem. I think the forum is for saying the problems and to provide help for our problems....So why i am taking attack? Did i anything bad?

You feel attacked because no one understands your ignorance.
You you had a "personal bad experience" but tell everyone on xda, via this thread, that AOSP is broken and touchwiz is the only way to go. You obviously are overlooking all the posts concerning stock firmware issues. I'm assuming you're also judging an operating system (4.2) that's still in it's beta (nightly) stages. Grab a stable release, follow the directions correctly and be amazed...
The post is for users like me that want it to try TouchWiz ROM but i didn't know that it will ruin my GPS and the only way to fix it again is to go flash another ROM! So please if you don't want to lose your GPS don't flash TouchWiz ROMG!!!
sorry, had to vent opposite. i've had GPS issues with every kind of ROM (TouchWiz and AOSP). just be patient. re-flash the ROM, talk to the dev, or wait for a new version of the same ROM.
Aosp roms do not break gps.
Get your facts straight before posting this garbage, there is nothing true about your statement.
Only matter of time for a mod to lock this thread.

I have been trying to stick it out with CM10 on my d2tmo GS3 but it seems like they are dealing with a lot of problems right now.
I would like some recommendations for a stable 4.2.1 or higher ROM that has good BT audio quality (preferably 4.2.2 but stable and BT quality are more important). My other preferences are that I would greatly prefer to use Google Now over the Samsung S-voice (or whatever it is called) and generally prefer for those OS to have a more vanilla Android style (closer to what Google intended and not what Samsung did).
Thinking about maybe liquidsmooth 4.2.2 but I understand that is CM based, so it might not solve any of my problems. Might try it anyway.

And the simplest thing to do is make a backup with CWM (nandroid) and try the ROM. Try a different one everyday. No one knows better than you if it will work for you.
New PTMR3 rom
PTMR3 just released a new 4.2.2 AOSP rom called "Sons of Android". it worked real well with my Bluetooth.. it is great rom for me so far.. here is the link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176988
I prefer AOKP. Simple,minimalistic,clean, and bloat free so it's not to hard on operating speeds. Also if you do use a custom rom whatever it may be don't forget to flash gapps too
Ok, after trying a bunch of the cool roms on the board, I've decided to install something and forget about it. Been looking for a nicely tweaked and trimmed down version of the stock rom but can't find anything. The problem is, all of the ones I've tried have some kind of an annoying bug or missing functionality, that ends up being more annoying than it's worth. I dislike the TW launcher, but I guess it's a good trade off for a stable working phone. If there's a themed stock rom (all of touchwiz functionality) minus the kiddie icons, please let me know. I'm using the LiquidSmooth 2.5 official now, and I love this rom, but it has a few too many bugs that are very irritating. For example, the camera is junk. Can't focus if it's life depends on it. I keep getting all kinds of artifacts on screen when unlocking the phone, MMS doesn't work half the time and so on. An ideal rom would be something that looks like LS but functions like stock TW but I guess that's impossible.
So please recommend me a stock based rom. Even if it's just stock rooted with the bloatware removed it would be fine. Thank you so much for your time.
Edit: Forgot to add, phone is US AT&T
There is no most stable rom just stick with what works best for you. Not everyone has the same experience on a rom. This thread is going to be locked.

Every ROM is going to have bugs, or things that dont work out.
thats why there is nighty releases of roms, to get most bugs worked out.
Theyre never going to be bug free because of the constant updates and features being added.
only true bug free is Touchwiz.
like the user above you said, you need too look for something that is stable for YOU.
a search would of let you figure this out, a search would of also pointed in the right direction on where to post questions.
this thread needs to be closed.
XDA is a site for development and what is best (stable) for one is not necessarily best for another, users need to test and read and learn on their own.
