Wheres everyone at

What? You have stock, CM9, AOKP, and CM10. That's all you need.

Besides, the roms we have are awesome and are constantly developed and improved.
We have some fantastic devs here!
Not sure what you're looking for op, but a good deal of the mods I can think of are already incorporated into many of the roms.

I can kinda see where the OP is coming from. On the G2X forums the stock roms were very very customized. These are all "tweaked" stock roms with little difference between the many... based off different bases, and have "build prop" tweaks and "init.d" tweaks, animations and so on. The att section has truly optimized and custom stock roms.
I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining cause I use aokp and cm10 mostly. But it'd be nice to have the extremely custom stock options like att users got.

With JellyBean around the corner, it will kinda slim for awhile, like the above post, all are stable that are there, and well maintained. I agree good devs here....

You and I both know a ton of customization was required to make the G2x usable. That is not the case with the GS3.

True. I'm also coming from the G2x and even tho we did I tend to stay closer to stock because I actually like tw. I will occasionally flash cm nightly just for ****s and giggles.

I don't mean customization for stability. I mean like whitehawkX edt tweaks and such. ATT roms have skipping tracks via long press on volume rocker and such. We have good stuff but it'd be awesome to have more options then different color stock roms. Most of the stuff I want is flashable any ways. Just a little rant... I'm just happy this thing is stable no matter what haha.

I wasn't trying to complain a lot. It was mainly what the above poster said. Just not a lot of variety like some phones have. Don't get me wrong, we have some of the best devs on the sgs3. I just like more options though
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

In my opinion OP Android is maturing and the devices are much more usable than they once were with now just minor annoyances now.. There will be more development soon but the GS3 is enjoyable stock with tweaks for now... Such was the case with the OG Vibrant when Team Whiskey and Eugene tweaked and enhanced stock Twiz and the dev scene for that device took off and is still prevalent with the Vibrant being one of the first devices to run a stable JB... As a matter of fact because of devices like the Vibrant we have many of the staple dev names we see amongst many threads amongst many forums and for several devices including this one, for example Whitehawkx, Annex and others..
Stay tuned as I suspect it is going to be fun..

Those devs aren't focusing on TW at all. They have cm10 and variants to do and kernels to work on. Things are especially going to die down for a little with JellyBeen coming around the corner.

If you want features of an AT&T ROM flash an AT&T ROM.. what's stopping you? They work fine if you set up the APNs correctly. I mean look at the i9100 forums. There's so many ROMs there but all of the touchwiz ROMs differ in what, a few build.prop lines and a theme? I'm not trying to attack you I just am not understanding what exactly you or OP are asking for. I understand some features aren't in our ROMs but like I said, flash an AT&T one if you want that feature. Or flash CM10, we have that feature

Only reason I flash stock based roms are for WiFi calling cause of some locations I work at... which isn't on any of the AT&T roms.

You said you mostly use CM10/AOKP but you won't flash an AT&T ROM because of no WiFi calling? You can set up WiFi calling on any ROM you want. I do it on CM10. Sure it is roundabout and not T-Mobile WiFi calling but it's still free and still WiFi calling.

Its not that big of a deal I prefer AOKP over all and I only work at those sites for a couple days a month so I just nandroid an old stock rom... not that big of a deal to me. I was just stating that I understand where the OP was coming from. I don't like setting up other forms of WiFi calling through third party apps.

Good answer. Seriously. All of the stocks only differ by a color here and a icon there. Running the Cm10 nightlies, and seeing the new additions and fixes is what I'm impressed with. I am sure soon, we will see more roms being done with the cm10 base and others. My daily, is CM10 period. Seen enough of the stock stuff. HTC MyTouch took awhile, but was flooded later with some good roms.

Can someone explain cyanogenmod

What is the point of using cyanogenmod over stock? I've tried researching for a answer and nothing comes up. Does anyone care to explain what all the hype about cyanogenmod and using it over stock + root
Like per say if it improves overall proformence of the s3 on a battery and stability basis then ill be sold to give it a try
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

Hmm well the major benefit is getting to use AOSP. Which is stock android as google intended (ie like the galaxy nexus), none of the samsung touchwiz stuff. Other benefit for now being that its jellybean. Im sure people here can come up with a laundry list of reasons for why cm is better than stock but those are the two main that would probably come into anyones head.

its straight build from the android source, no touchwiz sense etc.. a google experience lol

Those and a whack of in-built customization at your disposal

For the sheer thrill of it. Because you can. To experiment and learn. I allot of times don't need to know nothing about an OS to at least try it. People waste hundreds of man hours to create this stuff. Try it out. See what they spent all their time to create. Happy hacking!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Reasons I use any ROM over stock (features vary ROM to ROM)
Change songs with Volume rocker
Built in WiFi tethering
No Bloatware
There are other things I look for in a ROM but unfortunately CM does not include any of those (e.g. app password lock built into system and cannot be removed)

Plus Cyanogen you can customize it more than stock, just little things, like navigation bar, which I don't use, just an example.

My story, I had the original Galaxy S Captivate from AT&T and as my contract was close to running out I decided to finally put a custom ROM on my phone since it was slow getting updated. After a while I ended up with CM. It was a huge improvement over the old stock rom (even with the updates they had managed to get out). Fast forward to this weekend I finally bit the bullet and decided to upgrade to a new phone so I got an S3. My first thought upon turning on the phone was "omg this is terrible!".
Samsung's touch wiz basically is where they take the newest versions of Android and try to force it to work like the older version (presumably so that all their phones work the same). So the first thing I did on getting home is spend time getting CM installed on it and I haven't looked back. You lose some of the Samsung apps but most of them are useless anyway but you gain a better experience.

Finally rooted my phone, now its time for a better OS... any suggestions?

It took me a while, but I finally rooted my phone to get rid of the bloatware and to be able to install an ad blocker, now I'm wondering what good OS's there are out there so far? In the past with my Epic 4G, I spent a lot of time trying different OS's and ended up quite frustrated, though mostly because I never really found one I was that happy with and ended up in a situation where I changed OS's so much that I didn't even bother to customize my phone anymore because it would just be a couple of days before I had to start over again. This time around I figured I'd ask the peanut gallery first to get some informed opinions rather than just installing random OS after random OS. I'm looking for something lean, efficient, and stable. Also, and I'm not sure if this is an issue with the S3 like it was with the Epic 4G, but if there are things like CIQ that need to be removed, I would want those features as well.
Thanks.

I actually meant is there a second vote for the rom, but this does bring up another point and that is that I'd prefer something without much theming. I like Jellybean, but I want something that has had all of the bloat stripped away and all of the beneficial tweaks for performance and battery life already in place.

Freeza's thread for his rom have screenshots you can check out. There are a couple of good roms out with a lot of theming including icons, so freeza's rom is great for first time flashers for the gs3.

Paranoid android vs aokp

So I've been doing some reading on these two roms and I have to say, I like the layout and app settings available in paranoid android. But aokp seems to have a bigger following . I just regrettably flashed jedi xx last night . Love his roms, but I hate wiping and setting everything up again. Can anyone tell me which of the 2 roms they like and why? Appreciate your input!

I went back to JediXX and couldn't be happier; considering problems that are still lurking in AOSP/AOKP - 4.2.x still too buggy for me. I'd wait till all the kinks are resolved.

Jedi-XX is definitely a great rom, MUCH faster than what i was using before (Jedi-x3 i think). But I am being heavily seduced by Paranoid android, aokp, and now a new one has caught my eye.... Rootbox (formerly jellybam).

I've decided to give carbon a try and in all honesty I don't see any benefit of it vs jedi/tw roms. Camera has no low light option, and its rather important to me; call audio is just terrible, scratchy. Besides, i like all that Samsung "crap".

Well I tried flashing them all. And to my dismay, there is a BIG problem. I can't download any apps until I clear the play store and download manager. Then I have to download them all manually. Which I would do, but then it doesn't tlet me re download my purchased apps for free... Deal breaker. Which sucks because I prefer their rom features. Don't care for the s pen or Samsung stuff

I love carbon,aokp and paranoid android for asthetics but the leck of solid bluetooth connectivity coupled with my preference for the default samsung keyborad has made me go back to jedi roms. If they manage to iron out the bluetooth issues ill flash those and never look back. but since i use bluetooth ALOT for calls and music, not so much

Different strokes. I like being on the latest version of Android and Wolfson audio is better than anything out there. I have no call issues. I have had 3 Nexus devices b4 this one. I prefer AOSP.
If I want a new theme I have a choice of hundreds and I don't have to flash it. Don't have to flash every little UI mod.

I'm running Task650 AOKP on my S4 and I love it!!! I wish it did have some features Paranoid Android has but I am about 97% satisfied.
I'm thinking about flashing the GE Rom but i'm not sure I want to lose all the extra features that I get with a custom ROM.
Make sure you read the change logs and all the features to make sure its what you want.

Try Moon Rom version 1....touchwiz, floating windows, and tablet and Hanley mode...n7105 Rom working great on T-Mobile...I'm also using devil kernel and recovery dual boot, so I can choose my paranoid Rom on the fly when I want to.... best of both worlds...

Considering the Optomus G pro but...

Hey guys thinking of upgrading to this phone and I love the look, feel, and features of this phone, but it doesn't look like you guys have much going on in the way of development? I'd be coming from the Samsung Infuse, so I'm a bit spoiled, when the phone was newer lots of developers were building and porting custom roms, and currently there are about 4 variations of updated (Android 4.1+) roms in development. Currently I'm on Beanstalk for the Infuse (android 4.3) which is a great rom with tons of customization.
I wouldn't mind learning and developing myself but with the apparent shortness of developers this could be slow going. Am I missing something here, is there just not a lot of development because this is a relatively new device, or is it a hard or impossible device to hack?

Hey guys thinking of upgrading to this phone and I love the look, feel, and features of this phone, but it doesn't look like you guys have much going on in the way of development? I'd be coming from the Samsung Infuse, so I'm a bit spoiled, when the phone was newer lots of developers were building and porting custom roms, and currently there are about 4 variations of updated (Android 4.1+) roms in development. Currently I'm on Beanstalk for the Infuse (android 4.3) which is a great rom with tons of customization.

I came from the note 1 so I know the feeling...but I gotta tell you the stock software is really that good...I don't really miss any of my custom roms I use to run..the only thing I do miss is my theme on the theme engine.
Once cm10 gets closer we may see more since most roms are based off it but who knows.
I wouldn't expect development like what you're use to but like I said I don't miss it at all..
Hopefully the Nexus 5 will have a 5" screen like the rumors suggest and I can finally get a nexus device.

Yeah there a cm10.1 thats almost a daily. Pretty much everything works just a few bugs. There are repositories for a slimbean 4.3 on github but idk how far along that is as there been no release. And over in android forums there a guy working on a stock debloated deodexed rom and the bootloaders only been bypassed for a month or so. It took a while to get it unlocked but development has been goin pretty well since then. Just gonna take time.

So now that the bootloader has been cracked, we should see some more development soon I'd think? I'm just surprised this isn't a more popular device, the specs on it are bad ass.

Well like mrdsl said cm10 is the base for many of the good rom anyway and its almost done so I would expect to see development pick up soon. Especially as att keeps dropping the price makeing this easily the cheapest snapdragon600 device making it very appealing to many more people we should see the community for this phone grow a lot.

Not cracked, just bypassed makes a world of difference and according to what I've been told from LG reps they have no plans on unlocking the bootloader or releasing any source code

My understanding is the source that came from Samsung was leaked so hopefully something similar will happen with LG.

I enjoy mine and it's running stock but rooted. I've been able to do what I want with just root like getting rid of pesky qslides bar. It's cool but I don't use it and the apps are still there so ya. If you get this phone you'll enjoy it. Either way good luck with whatever you choose!

IMHO, a phone that good, stock rom is good enough!:laugh:

Stock ROM of Gpro is great.....and optimized.
I didnt miss CM or PA at all.

Exactly . Best rom by any android company released

I agree .. it's a good stock rom. I would have to say most people install roms to improve performance but even on the Note2 I had I wasn't installing roms like I did in the past on every device prior.. and in fact this G pro benchmarks about 60 to 100 percent faster than the Note2 in most ... and so far it's been the fastest, slickest device I've used by far. I'm using Apex Launcher for customizing .. and at this point my phone looks like stock Android 4.3 and runs lightning quick.. and battery life has been stellar. And I'm liking and using the quicknote dedicated button! Only thing I miss about my note2 is kinda the S-pen and the inky blacks(contrast)

I have own a lot of Samsung devices...starting from s2 to s4 and I change my s4 for this device because I didn't feel I big upgrade from s3...of course I miss switching rooms but I can tell you that this phone is a lot quicker than many phone out there...the G pro is a lot more responsive than my wife note 2 and what I love about this phone is BATTERY this monster last the whole day

Extremely easy it only takes a few minutes to complete.

Stock rom FTW

do u kno if theres a black theme where the dialerpad, contact list and system settings are dark?

Stock is good, but modded roms are better. that's my option. Because the stock rom is so perfect, we're hailing the rom, but we better make sure that doesn't offend the developers. Even it is perfect, it is still 4.1, we will need 4.2/4.3 roms very soon, and LG won't catch up with our interest. So, we better appreciate what developers are trying now. Pls don't say we don't want mod roms.
For me, I just have one request to the devs, whatever you do, pls make sure the Quick Remote is in your rom, coz I'm already obsessed with it so much. now I can control everything around me with my phone.
