The Dinc2, among others, will officially be getting ICS this year. I wonder how long it will take to get Jellybean? (If ever...)

Just saw that too. Hopefully that means a fully working CM9/AOKP will be likely as well.
I sure hope so.
Does anyone know is any developers are working on a Sense based ICS ROM for this phone?
Hey folks,
I'm still running Juggz 4.x because it has been as stable as stock with extra goodies... Using a very stable/reliable build is important to me, since I'm basically on call 24/7 at work.... Removing the bloat and free features like teathering are important too though.
How long do we expect it to take before we see some stock/rooted/debloated/tweaked ROMs based on the release tomorrow? Also, How long before we'll see stable AOSP and AOKP builds?
I do realize I'm asking for speculation since nobody knows, but based off of past experience, we can take some guesses, right?
I'm dying to throw ICS on my phone, but most of the ROMs available have had enough issues to keep me from trying them.... But tomorrow I'm thinking about flashing the stock ROM immediately, then waiting for reliable/stable ICS ROM from one of our quality devs based on the new code.
So how long do you think guys?
I give it 2 days

If you are unsure, just wait.
I'd certainly recommend waiting especially since you aren't even on UVLDE.
To get a decent AOSP or AOKP, I'd say a week or two after source is released.
It will take a while to get a code merge done, but when it's done it's done.
HTC One X PLUS was had poor wifi reception in my home. Wifi Analyzer shows 20 dBm signal drop when you hold phone in your palm. Not with S3. All good now. But miss Sense + Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I know Jelly Bean stock update is probably happening within the next days/weeks for S3?? I'm a Power User but got everything on the HTC with JB to work the way I wanted using Widget Locker and Nova Launcher. HTC stock keyboard much better so Swiftkey 3 wasn't even necessary. Definitely need Swiftkey 3 on this 4.0 Touchwiz phone.
I spent hours and hours learning Android and setting up the HTC. Don't want to spend all weekend again. But also would like to be on 4.1.x. I was an iPhone Jailbreaker so I'm not afraid of rooting and/or custom ROM but I will be very frustrated with bugs or losing useful features just to get a custom ROM. I'm sure this has been asked 100 times but I think I've explained my usage goals enough to get a decent recommendation? I think a main goal if I do go custom ROM is I want the one that is the most established meaning, most likely to still be around as new devices are introduced 1, 2, 3 years from now. I'd prefer to not keep having to learn the quirks of a different ROM, but I'm also not married to Samsung Touchwiz.
a) Stick with ICS and wait for official JB update and just live with it?
b) Install JB 4.1.2 Custom ROM that is closest to stock? Which one?
c) Wait for stable custom ROM that is based on JB 4.2?
If (b) can someone post a link to the "Custom ROM for S3 Newbie Guide" ?
Thanks in advance.
My advice would be to test out some of the popular ROMs around here, such as: CM10, AOKP, AOCP, etc. There are also ROMs based on TouchWiz with rooted features that have been debloated.
I personally have been using Task650 AOKP for a while now. It offers great performance, battery life, customization, and stability. He offers great support and updates.
Ultimately only you can decide which is right for you as they're all slightly different and we all have different needs from our devices.
Read around the development sections and you'll find something to suit your needs in no time.

Well after spending at least 25 hours setting up that HTC (much of it was first time using Android Learning Curve and getting Questions answered and app suggestions.) I'm sort of burnt out. I started reading and reading and reading more here and ran across these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869300&highlight=grey+7
And although rooting seems like no big deal, it seems there really isn't as far as I can tell a JB ROM that doesn't have at least some issues or lacks some Touchwiz features that may be missed?
I'm leaning toward (a) Wait for official 4.1 update. Should be any day now?

Is there a stable Touchwiz based ROM, debloated, based on JB 4.1 I should consider? I really am not interested in "custom" I'm just interested in as close to stock Touchwiz ROM but just JB instead of ICS. And something that when Official OTA update is out, I can switch to that if desired.

Head over the development section, not original just development and check out the thread started by Drewgaren. I haven't personally tried it as I prefer AOKP, but I've heard it's a nearly perfectly working JB TouchWiz based ROM.

This looks like what I would want. This video seems to confirm:

But is there version for I747 and there's no issues?
Does the official OTA update require a reinstall and reconfig of all apps?
After skipping around all 742 pages of the CleanROM thread (geez) sounds like exactly what I want. Problem is, it's for Verizon I535 S3, not the AT&T I747 S3. So what's the closest thing to CleanROM that works for AT&T I747?
I think that Frosty JB and Black jelly ...both are bug free Tmobile ports. Both are stock...or near stock touchwiz. Frosty is straight stock and black jelly has a few mods/ theme ...but they both have been flawless for me. You can find them in the SGH-I747 development section easily. I have tried all the ao•p original ROMs and they all had some form of compromise.
Just my 3¢

Now that the galaxy S4 is out with touchwiz and the 4.2.2 firmware, will we see a truly hybrid experience? I would love some of the 4.2.2 feel with TW features.
100 millionth time this has been asked. Only the devs know if there is going to be a rom and whether its worth their time or even possible
I've been a fan of this ROM for since forever and I have followed it since my Galaxy S2, I know that they've came and gone several times but there is recent activity out there work on Twitter ... Do you guys see this as a foreseeable future for aospa ?? Do you think our device would be officially supported by the devs? I recall aospa being one of the most battery friendly yet fluid ROMs out there, and I think it would be a great return for them if they did ever come back... What do you guys think, what's your input?

If PA were ever to come back to where they were in the Kitkat days, I'd get back into custom ROMs. Been happy on stock the past couple years but PA was one of the best phone experiences I've had.
