Just thought it might be a good idea to gather information. There aren't many ROMs yet but a lot of loyalty is being shown to our beloved devs who are producing.
Lets see who is using which ROM the most and why!

First ROM I read up on, so I have decided to try it out. So far so good.
I've success with most of them but the smoothest and best battery life for me have been with Lab Rats & MyRom using either stock kernel, Saber kernel, or Lean Kernel (current fav).
I think I might settle down and rest with MyRom as it is doing REALLY well right now.
I've used just about all of them and there all amazing, including international and cross carrier. My current setup that I have gotten comfortable with is darthstalker wuth compulsion kernel. Both rom and kernel have init.d support(this is a major + for me anyways) so I can use tweaks like int2extsd mod.

Great info, thanks!
I've heard people having good luck with Omega from the n9005 thread... I gave it a try and wifi wouldn't work. Was going to do the build.prop trick but didn't have time....
Sorry, double post...
I am currently running Darthstalker v5 with Saber kernel 5.2. I love this combo and great battery life and excellent speed and stability.
Tweaked alpha. Because all the customization options.

I am not picky. I have used all 900T versions. I like then all quite well, as they each have their own little flares. I flash between them quite often. Until wonder child kernel though, I couldn't boot Any sort of 0C kernel. I most commonly find myself using Darth stalker and Lab Rats as they play a little better with the WC kernel.

ViSiON X N3 is the ticket. Although, all of the roms work well, and have their own little something, something that makes them unique in their own way.
I'm running JEDI v5, I find myself at home with it. Been running JEDI since my Note 2. That's just a preference, I've tried the others and they are all great, haven't had any issues with any of them.

Hmm..
My own ROM and Kernel I guess
Whats the most other popular ROM beside the ones made for T-Mobile?
I can use the international one?
Thanks.
Stock ROM! Rooted without tripping the Knox flag...so not able to flash any ROMs anyways. Plus it's fast enough for me with Nova Launcher and custom icons.

Yes, N9005 roms will work on your device.
Use your tmo kernel, and also manually setup the tmo apn settings....
My rom is MK2 which is a intl base....

Hey XDA
Ok Im new to rooting & I only haved rooted to the Wicked Rom as of late, didn't even try to go forward with their red/blue theme or bloat loader level 1 or 2 because theres no directions on even how to do it so w/e
Basically Im looking for a pretty basic stock mod either with ICS 4.0.4 or Jellybean. MY MAIN concern is all the stock functions that I should be able to use with the phone, (wifi calling all the way to motions).:good: 2nd BATTERY LIFE :angel: , 3rdly, all around FAST & SNAPPY Not too worried about the overral lay out because I can use nova or go launcher to my liking... & of course, ZERO BLOAT WARE
CLIFFS OF RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS:
CWM Flashable
ALL stock functions.
BATTERY LIFEEEEEE
Fast & Snappy response
ZERO bloatware.
Would greatly appreciate the help, I searched around but not one any1 wanted these specific layout of priorities.
Thnx in advance!
Cheers~
Pretty sure the wicked themes are flashable. Although wicked v4 now uses aroma installer which lets you choose the theme, kernel, and bloat levels. Always be sure to back up before you do anything.

thanks but you know what? seems like its not that great on battery life IMO.
Depends also on what kernel you choose. Many say trinity and ktoonesz kernels are the best with battery life. Also check out the xquizit or crimson roms and Look through the threads and try to find what you prefer. Try to Go through the whole thread because many questions have been answered in previous pages.

No problem man. Good luck! Be sure to back up, factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik when switching between ROMs. (Make a habit of it )
Flash to latest stock via Odin, root and install titanium backup and remove the bloat yourself.
Honestly I am very impressed with stock! (I am running CM10 though)
Experimenting with kernels would be good, though they may break functionality...
All of those stock features that are so cool (motions) are battery consuming... though I have had consistent good battery with this phone. Coming from EVO 4g with 3500 mah extended battery that didn't last much longer...

Personaly i use wicked v2.1.
Frosty jb is great too.
But try rom and stay on your favorite one

It all depends on what you want from your phone.
If you want stock based rom with all/most futures of original phone, I recommend FrostyJB. I use it and it's really good. Wicked is also good.
If you want simplicity, android 4.1.2 and you don't care about some stock functions of the phone, like motion, then go with cm10. I think paranoid is also based on that and it has some cool futures.
It all comes down to your preferences. Try some roms and stay with the one which makes you most happy.

Choco is correct! PK is da BOMB try it

ParanoidKANGdroid is the best. It has tons of options and is very customizable. The ROM is also really stable and efficient. Check it out.

Basicly all futures made by Samsung or Samsung exclusive. Like motion, smart stay and video in smaller window.
I haven't tried liquid but I heard good things about it.
Personally I recommend FrostyJB with kt747 kernel. That's what I'm using. It's very fast and stable, also it has great battery life.

Kipster is right. Every rom has it's pros and cons. And it's unfair for devs to say which rom is best or worst. Everyone of them put a lot of hard work and free time to give us their creations and freedom of choice. For me the best is FrostyJB but some people who wrote here have different opinion.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Kipster is correct, it's always hard to say which rom is the best because all the devs do different work and for someone to say one rom is better then the other is really unfair to them.. They spend alot of time making these roms available to use users and really don't ask anything but for feedback and maybe a small donation for there time.. Best thing to do would be to read up on each rom and read the reviews from other members then find the one that fits your personal needs and give it a go..

I've only tried a few but have stuck with Wicked and am currently running the latest release: Wicked JB v2.1 and am loving it. It just works and gets great battery life. I'd say test out Different ROMs and decide which one you like the most. I occasionally try out different versions but always go back to Wicked, however you may like others more.

Hello,
My friend just got the galaxy s3 for sprint and he asked me to install him a nice rom, similar to my phone. Im from tmobile so I am not familiar with the sprint gs3 roms. I want a rom that uses Touchwiz, deoxed, and not too many bloat ware. On the tmobile forums we have Wicked by Deviant Development, is there anything similar to it? Thanks
Search in android development...all of those are "not original" roms, so mainly based on TW
I would recommend freezas simple stock rooted rom
No idea what wicked is but these are good ROMs.

I can ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommend The People's ROM....It has many very useful tweaks like the app killer by holding the menu button and the multi-view by holding the back button.
It also works flawlessly. I would suggest using the stock Kernel as me and a few others had excessive battery drain using KTOONZ kernel.
The developer, Kenny, is very active here and is very quick to address any problems that may arise. He is a top notch developer and I trust his work. I have been flashing ROMs for years and if I were putting it on a friends phone I wouldn't look at anything else.
Your friend will thank you for hooking him up with this ROM.
I get all my roms from galaxys3root.com. it has all carriers and direct downloads for the which ever carrier you need. I recomend reading the comments though, not all roms are stable.

Multi-window is a touchwiz feature, so u can't have it without a tw ROM. Check out S3Rx. Awesome ROM, insanely customizable, great support!! A lot of the other ROMs u will see use these guys mods in their ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252932
+1 to S3Rx.
and also to Intergalactic 3.0
both are TouchWiz based, and have multi-window.
A vote for deTmobilized also by enewman17. I tried the sr3x rom but wasn't fond of it.
Can't go wrong with Slimbean, it's not touch wiz though. Plus they just released JB 4.3 today.

Also +1 for S3rX. In theory it should be better than DeTMO, because it's an ATT base with all the funness added on top.

Quantum rom with bionic sheep kernel. It's ridiculously smooth and fast. Like its insane how nice it is. I've flashed a lot of roms over the past few months and this takes the cake. Running 4.3 as well is cool. That or I'd say TASK650 rom was sexy too.

Actually, I have the same question. I just got one AT&T version GS3. I don't like all AT&T bloatware, but I like stock ROM quality(in terms of stability, and smoothness).
Which version has no AT&T bloatware, has multi-window support, and as reliable as Samsung stock ROM ?
Thanks all in advance for all replies.

Root the stock 4.1.2 rom and debloat it manually. I have done this on 4 of my relative's I747 and they haven't had any issues.

For what its worth, Dandroid is my TouchWiz choice. Completely stock with a CM feel to it. I was getting great battery life out of it too! Its debloated and runs very fast! I also have to agree with KuRuPtIoN, that Slimbean is a good choice. Just tried the 4.3 and its rock solid. I have flashed almost every rom on these forums a couple of times, and I always come back to Dandroid for TouchWiz and either Slimbean or Tasks AOKP for non TouchWiz

I agree with this totally. TiBu will help you debloat the useless stuff that AT&T deems to put on the phone and it gives you more control in terms of disabling those pesky services you don't want running. I've been running the update just to see what improvements were made and so far so good once I debloated. I will be reverting back to AOSP soon though because I want the 4.3 goodness more than I want Samsung "goodies".

Any Tweaks recommended for performance? I have decided I want to stay stock, Gonna Odin back to stock and root again. Any Tweaks to tune it a little? I`m prob gonna install Xposed and a few S5 apps, but any speed improvement tweaks that might be good?
Thanks I`m not a noob, but I do know this post seems like one
Delete bloatware from /system (there are several threads on that) and install Apex launcher for a custom look.
Frank
If you're rooting, then first thing I would do is flash a custom kernel. I would recommend either Compulsion or ColonelX. After that, install Xposed and the GravityBox and Wanam modules. I've tweaked more things than I can possibly remember, but those would definitely be my starting points....

If you're worried about losing out on features by going with a custom ROM, there are plenty of ROMs out there that are fast and light, but let you keep all of the Touchwiz features. Hyperdrive for example.

Yeah, but i've found it to be very stable, which is more important in my opinion. I was stock for a while, which is unusual because I normally root and go custom immediately. But once I saw I could keep all the Touchwiz features I liked, plus get a faster ROM, it was a no brainer (which would make me sad if I were a zombie).
