yes! every ROM here is compatible with the telus galaxy S2X.. there are a lot of really good ROM's to choose from I hate to pick a favorite..
if you are looking to try something different, then may I suggest MIUI..
I think you should try a few ROMs on your own to see which one suits you..
and remember.. just have fun with it
Which ones you guys running now? What do you like about it? Anything that dont work?
Thanks

IMO the best rom out right now is Darkside UCLE2
Just remember that if you do go with an ICS rom, read the OP carefully and follow the instructions to the T. They can be a little bit more tricky. But the smoothness and battery life is unbeatable.

Questions go in the Q&A section
ii've had a few phones before that i've installed custom roms on. and all these roms had bugs and made my phone behave slow and weird. i want to try a custom rom on the s3. but i dont want the same issues on it. i got some questions:
1. is stock better than custom rom for the s3?
2. are the custom roms SPECIFICALLY for the s3 bug free?
3. can you suggest which roms are the best for the s3 for battery life?
The rooms out there are great. If you want a stable Rom stick to the roms biased on ICS. I am waiting on official JB until I do a JB Rom

I haven't felt the need to flash a custom ROM, the stock ROM is just fine. One thing I did do is flash the latest Jelly Bean leak, pretty much everything works fine with it.
Often times we convince ourselves we are missing out on something, so we flash this or that rom, or hack, to try to get what we thought we might be missing, but don't see a big difference.
Your question alone shows hesitancy in doing something like flashing a custom rom. If you are worried about losing any features, or introducing some new bug, then stick with a stock rom.
But I highly recommend rooting, removing all the bloat, and at the minimum cleaning up your stock rom.

Okay been lurking this forum ever since the tmo s3 came out and finally made an account. I've been holding back on rooting but just yesterday I saw the link in your reply about not tripping the warranty counter. Is it really recommended to root my phone? I do want to remove the bloatware but I'm not sure of the cons of rooting. Also this is my first smart phone but I have friends tell me it's perfectly safe as long as I follow directions.

I recommend to root just for the ad blocking alone. Everything else is just a bonus.
But, the stock roms provide excellent battery life for what they are. The only reason I've rooted is so that I can flash ICS-like themes. Stock TWiz is atrocious-looking.

Ohh, cool. I'm downloading the image atm and was wondering, What's ODIN? Is that provided with the phone or do I have to dl that from somewhere?
Odin is the other part of Samsung phones that gives you full control.
I believe zedomax's video gives the link, but I will double check. There is a mobile Odin as well.

1. Define better.
2. Stock isn't bug free. But, there are ROMs with less bugs and ROMs with more. The devs will let you know in the first post.
3. AOSP and AOKP have the best battery. But, remember that the kernel you install plays a role.

Being an admitted flash addict when I switched from my vibrant to the s3 I was only going to root to get rid of bloat and install custom kernel as usual I spend way to much time flashing refreshing and tweaking what is already a great phone out of the box. So it is truly up to the individual. I will say there is great dev support and a lot of familiar faces from my previous device. Good luck in what ever you decide just make sure you do plenty of reading.

If you don't want trouble with apps not working, force closes, and want your samsung s-pen apps to work stick with stock roms. i've had 4.1.2 stock uploaded by teshxx and the thing is smoother than smooth with battery life much better than 4.1.1. I've had the phone since t-mo launch date so I can definitely notice the increase.
You don't have to wipe data either. Just go to recovery and wipe dalvic / cache and you're good to go. Good luck.

Personally, the only reason I would get a custom rom other than samsungs is for the ICS software buttons. Unfortunately, non of them have that option, even the Cyanogen roms. Yes I know we can modify a simple file in the note 2 and I have dont that before but it totally messes up the layout.

Only cons of this rom is the loss of multiwindow but that's small for me compared to what i gain. Flash what works for you.

I am HUGE fan of the Jedi Master series, it's worth a try if your just looking for something that everything works on that is NOT pure stock.
I've had nothing but issues with the Jedi roms jedi master has echo problem maybe fixed now as I have not used that in sometime. Jedi X data drops. Tweaked is by far the best as its 100 percent fully customizable!!! S4 Themed is also another good one! Those 2 are the best if your looking for a T Mobile based rom.

I'm new to the Note 2 scene....I wanted to put cyanogenmod on my Note 2 but I don't want to deal the force closures and bugs ether. I'm confused...why would some flash their note 2 with a stock rom if it's not going to have the features of cyanogenmod such as the DSP aadvaudio settings, custom brightness levels, and advanced configurations on the slide down bar?
I figured I would start this thread so that we can move all the non-development talk out of the development section. I hope people will use it so that when something that pertains to development is talked about it will be easier to find. We can discuss what kernels gives best battery life, which ones work and which one break things. We can post about our favorite apps, widgets, wallpapers, or how the weather is outside. Maybe someone will get help on an issue they are having. We can discuss anything within the guidelines of XDA, lets just try to help keep Jovy's thread clean.
I'll start, has anyone had an issue when coming out of sleep the screen is dim and you have to go into brightness and tap it to make it work? I think maybe I set my clock frequency to low or maybe I should be using a different governor. Another issue that bugs me is when I have ripple effect set and use a black background for my lockscreen the borders of the screen look slightly grey. I have read posts about this and by turning off ripple effect the color is like it should be. I like the ripple effect and I like black backgrounds, does anyone know about a fix for this, or does anyone notice this issue on their phone.
Here's the link to the Darthstalker ROM if you read this post and want to check out the actual ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442
I am not the developer of this ROM, all credit for this great ROM goes to jovy23 and those he's listed in his OP.

I flash quite a few kernels, always making a backup prior so I can always restore. When restoring I always wipe like I'm installing a new ROM. Just to make sure nothing gets left behind.

Same here! I find 99.9% of ROM-related issues for us flashaholics stem from not performing a full wipe prior to a flash. I've been fully stable on every DaRTHSTALKER update, with LOTS of varying kernel testing, by using this method. Full data + cache + Dalvik wipe then flash than another cache/dalvik wipe before the boot is always a good strategy!

I always make backups for any change I flash too but the last phone I rommed was my g1. The vibrant was too much of a pain and there wasn't any good roms with Wi-Fi calling.

Much better. I guess I didn't even try the Rom tweaks on this one in the first place. Gonna see tomorrow how much better it will be. On another note, has anyone successfully connected to allshare play with another gs3? My girlfriend got hers (completely stock 4.1.1 w/no root) and everything else interacts except for that. Would like to group cast with her and I've followed the videos online to do it but our phones don't show up in each other's network, connected to WiFi of course.

Thank you for this thread, this is an excellent idea!
I've been a fan of this ROM since the very day the version 9 was uploaded. I got my SGS3 late December (this is my first android device), tried a few ROMs and stopped on this one. (BTW: a suggestion to put a link to the DARTHSTALKER S3 ROM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442 on OP so everyone new to this knows what it is all about).
This being my first post on the entire forum I was not allowed to ask questions on the original ROM's threads (and there are at least two I am following).
Now, if you don't mind a newbie question, here it is:
I am a T-mo subscriber using an unlocked AT&T phone. Currently I am on DARTHSTALKER v9 port for AT&T (here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087164 ). As the most of you I am eagerly awaiting version X1 of the DaRTHSTALKER, but my question is: can I just flash the T-mobile version or should I wait for when an AT&T PORT is available?
Thnks.

I had something happen last night that I've never had happen before and maybe sometime can tell me what it was. I was restoring back after messing with a few mods that didn't work and when my phone booted up in the lower left corner it said "Safe Mode". I went back into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache, fixed permissions, and then rebooted and safe mode was gone. What is safe mode?
Thanks,
Todd
Edit: Should have used Google first. Safe mode is similar to computer safe mode. It only loads base os to allow for removal of files. Still don't understand why it happened, but atleast I know it wasn't something bad.

I WOULD NOT DO THAT! Although I cannot answer the question directly, every carrier has modified there own Galaxy S3. They are all completely different. I know that if you flash a Universal galaxy S3 rom onto a T-Mobile device, it will completely hard brick it due to a change in the partition structure. If you have an At&t device, I would still stick to the Galaxy s3 at&t roms even though T-mobile is your carrier.

+1. Unlocking your phone only allows it access to a different carriers sim card. It does not change the base of the phone itself. I have a Tmobile SG3 that's unlocked for my travels but any ROM I flash must be a tmo based ROM. In your case stick with the ATT ROMs so you don't end up with a brick, and enjoy this great rom
My s3 is stalking your s3....
Does anyone have a flashable (zip) stock kernel?
I have looked and looked with no luck, I mean I can always just re flash the rom, but wanted to explore other alternatives first.

I use SJB 7 by harsh586 and wifi tethering works for me.

There's your solution - There is no such ROM at the moment. Life's not perfect, deal with it. You have to give up some features to get other features.
There isn't any best rom actually as most roms are different and made for different kind of users. Some users want a feature packed rom, some want a clean and minimalistic one and some just want a rom that works.
To select the best rom you have to try some different ones, and find one that you like, I would suggest you to start with CM10.1 or CM10.2 by Mike and if you don't like it you can try some others.
Hope that my answers helped you and hope that you find a rom which you might like!
I'd recommend starting from the very beginning. Flash stock ICS .587, if WiFi Tether doesn't work properly there.. then you might have a bigger problem there bro.

Arc got bricked but revived it somehow and how, I don't know however the baseband got corrupted or something which now cannot accept firmware updates via flashtool, so I'm stuck on 8x55A-AAABOAZM-203028D-64 baseband version!..
Also some ROMs will only work without gapps flashed, very few ROMs will work properly with gapps flashed, Slim Bean android 4.2.2 seems to work but terrible with WiFi tether though!..
When I flash with a particular ROM a dozen times to get it to work then to find out the WiFi tether is crap or not working, it can get very very tiresome!..
I might just have to go back to GB and lose out on the JB drop down menu features I've come to enjoy using... :'(
