I am a bit new to Android and the GS3. But honestly I am already sick and tired of waiting for Jelly Bean as well as some of the problems of Touchwiz. So I think CM10 is the next thing for me. But I am unsure of the differencr between Touchwiz and CM10. For example I love the quick settings panel, the brilliang camera app and settings, Wi-Fi direct sharing (sbeam) , as well as the smart dialer and decent task manager. I just want to make sure everything will be better.
it's your call. i'd say you should try it out, and if you don't like it, you can always go back to stock touchwiz. just remember to read the op and the last few pages of the thread to make sure there aren't any unwanted problems to deal with. and of course, backup your current rom.

Stock Jelly Bean has been leaked. This will give you all the Jelly Bean goodness without resorting to a custom ROM.
You could also install the touchwiz launcher on CM10 if you like the TouchWiz UI. (I don't)
You can always flash back to stock ICS if you don't like where you end up. Just read the original post and make sure you understand what you're doing so you don't end up with a brick.

So if I tried it and didn't like it, I could just go back to normal and get updates OTA and everything.
Not all S3 are identical. The radio interface are slightly different, region wise. So yes , you can download a Samsung stock ROM off the Internet, it will not be exactly the same. Call and battery performance will be affected slightly.
You can use a backup to restore, it is the closest you can get to original, but rooted.
That it's the complete picture.

Things I like about touchwiz.
Movable home screens.
Little red flags on home screen icon showing unread status.
Social hub for Twitter and Facebook.
A working music player
Swipe right to call, left to SMS
Task manager, less of an issue in ICS and later.
Good alarm app
Best battery performance without tweaking.

yes, but not without some work. you'd need to either restore your backup and unroot, and remove the custom recovery or odin back to stock.

Anything comparing features or anything?
I've been trying to stay on TW as long as I could because of the camera.

Yeah, the camera is brilliant.
Then I recommend Drew Garen Serenity rom! Its Touchwiz JB, its a GNote2 port, works great if you want the same TW features and more! (Gnote stuff), just use a launcher. I'm using tasks AOKP rom myself and its awesome

I've been stuck with AOSP. I love the TW/Samsung features, just not the interface. Coming from a Nexus, I just got comfortable with minimal. Slimbean, Aokp and liquid smooth are great base ROMs that are light.

The whole thing with that is I don't particularly care for Touchwiz. It kinda ugly and heavy with useless stuff. I just don't want to lose useful features.

yea im in the same position you are, i still change back and fourth because of features on TW that i miss and need often.
I am considering just flashing and trying it out and flashing back if I don't like it. I honestly don't mind Touchwiz, but I feel like if I give in and and wait, then I will just keep falling further behind. Perhaps Touchwiz is better now, but it certainly won't be in January
Touch wiz has too much overlay IMO. Liquid smooth is one of the best AOKP ROMs I've tried. But you will be missing out on Sbeam and everything Samsung related of course. But the sheer speed of aokp is a good enough trade off for me to lose just the neat camera and svoice.
I am using AOKP from Task and ktoonez, I love it but really miss smart stay and allshare cast to the point where I'll probably go back to TW JB once ATT actually releases it. Is there a JB ROM that includes those?
Hey guys,
Is there anyway to get the TouchWiz S3 camera features with one of the custom roms or just stick to a stock?
My brother loves the AOKP but he is insistent on having those default camera features/effects that came with the phone.

I didn't notice any significant feature, can share?

I prefer 4.1.2, using the ROM in my signature. Besides the fact of it being a bit more stable, I like the look and simplicity of 4.1.2.. What you think?
hmm
4.2.2 because the camera looks awesome that's the only reason
I just switched back to 4.1.2 speedbean from 4.2.2 hellybean today. I find 4.2.2 a little quicker in i/o and has better power management (longer battery life), BUT, the deal breaker for me is I can not get VOIP to consistently work on 4.2.2. Until VOIP apps (i.e. Talkatone, Vonage, Csipsimple) are fixed on 4.2.2, I'm sitting tight with Speedbean. It's a bit frustrating because on my Galaxy I captivate I had a fully functional and phone running 4.2.2 back in December.
The main turnoff of 4.2 for me are the lock screen and the alarm. I'm a fan of the 4.2 keyboard... but that's it. I don't like the minimalistic style of the lock screen font either

I wanted to know if its possible yet to tweak the sound on an AOKP or Cyanogen Mod 4.2.2 ROM to make it louder?
I like those better than Touch Wiz but I cant stand how the sound isn't as loud as TW.
Is this something that will never happen or is it a possibility?
If needed, I can try to work on it but I have no clue where to begin.
I wouldn't mind testing it out.
Let me know. Thanks!
There are apps to amplify volume if you really need it, but the volume has been fine on AOSP ROMs ever since dastin came around with 4.2

I am running AOKP milestone 1, but I constantly have issues where my phone overheats, screen glitches up and has wierd colors, random reboots, and bad battery life. I don't know if it's an issue with AOKP or my phone. I tried jellybam, but for some reason, my camera does not work properly and I am stuck on phablet mode, even after switching to phone ui in paranoid settings. Everything is too small.
I am not sure what other roms to try. I am looking for one that's feature packed like AOKP and jellybam .. and very stable
Thanks.
In my opinion this is the best 4.2.2 and most feature packed rom available for the s3.

Flash keeps failing when i try to install this ROM.
i need an AOSP rom for my n7100 and i can't choose one
i need stable system and battery life saver ROM
Pretty much, all of the 4.2.2 based roms are good. Personally, I use either ProBam or Carbon. Anything that is 4.3 is still in alpha stages and are unstable

AOSP Rom
I second that, Probam v4.2 is really nice. Rootbox as well

For battery combined with no bugs, stability and speed I recommend thors rom, google tegraowners.net it's not on XDA. Carbonrom on here is a great rom too, I'd also combine it with thor's kernel.
Then last but not least, SlimBean rom! It's my current daily and battery with included kernel is very decent and it's the current AOSP 4.3 rom with the least bugs imo. If you really can't live with any bugs go for the 4.2.2 version.
Only bugs I have in SlimBean beta2 4.3 is graphic glitches in stock browser and gmail.. But it's absolutely doable, besides that it's ultrafast and the customisation options are sweet

Probam is excellent..it has various features and is updated frequently (recently 4.3 was release)..I personally used it for 3 weeks and found it working smooth and lag free
Then comes resurrection and illusion rom..I haven't tried them but they were the 'rom of the week' in note2root site by zedomax

Well although its TW Alliance is good. It looks exactly like a AOSP Rom anf it even has the CRT effect but it keeps the S apps
