i747M - Best ROM and Kernel

Hey guys,
What is the best rom/kernel combo you have found? I am currently on slimbean with kT kernel. Looking for what has worked for others :good:

+1
I'm very interested to know myself. I just got the sgs3 coming from a galaxy nexus running aokp. I love the new touchwiz which is ,I find, leaps and bounds beyond the sgs2's version of touchwiz. I actually want to keep it. I want a rom that gives me more without taking anything away. What I mean is a juiced up touchwiz with more customization. No nova or apex. Lte, avcrp and nfc that actually work. landscape mode phablet mode etc. Every rom has one or the other not all.

at this point it really comes down to personal opinion. all roms are heavily supported and seem to be very stable. it depends on what your looking for.
slim is a great rom very smooth and light (only ~80mb in size!) but i've found that i get more random fc's on slimbean than i do on cm10/aokp. so im sticking with cm10 & kt747 kernel for now. i always check out new slimbean updates though, when it gets a little more stable ill probably stay there.
i haven't had much experience with leak based stock jb roms. when the official at&t jb update comes out ill probably stick with stock jb because i do enjoy touchwiz but right now it seems that aosp is better with stability and battery life.
one thing i am sure of is every rom i flash, i flash ktoonsez kt747 kernel. during heavy use i switch to from ondemand to ktoonservative governer and that will really save you battery life.

i think it does come down to personal preference, but what I'm using is the latest Cyanogenmod 10 nightly with Ktoonsez latest kernel (9/23) and it's underclocked and undervolted. Great performance and even better battery life.

Serenity is based on the note 2 software. Milestone is based on the tmobile s3 leak. I tried both and went back to an ics rom (ariel). It just seems more stable and has more of the features that i like.

I really like Serenity v1.1 located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869300.
There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing that would prevent daily use in my opinion. If you are after super stable then you should probably stick with a stock-based ROM of which there are plenty. If you want to try out JB then I'd give Serenity a shot.

I use kt747 with stock rogers rom, (4.1.1 JB). Aside from a couple of issues with charging for while powered off, everything is working well.

Jedi ROM 2.0.
I've had 0 issues with it, great battery life, buttery smooth (using Nova launcher) and everything works flawlessly.

^^^^ this.
And besides, most of the available Roms are equally stable / very soon to be stable.
Do a good flash, making sure to wait a while right after flashing, and all will be good.

You need Jedi Jelly 6. Its a Samsung Touchwiz ROM. I have had nothing but smooth performance.

I've really been enjoying the AOKP Jellybean. There are some minor issues with bugs being worked out with the nightlies, but overall it's dope!

I've been on CM 10.1 nightly 03/23 since that day and it's really nice. Everything works smoothly and CM is a pleasure.

I second this one. Jedi Jelly 6 is very smooth. My only issue with it is that it's based off of a leaked AT&T ROM.
I believe ptmr3 (the dev) is working on a new version that is based on the recent 4.1.2 release specifically for the SGH-T989.

I switched to an AOSP based ROM and I'm never looking back despite wifi calling being a cool feature, but I never used it. Anyway, I've been using 2.2 Slimstars which was pretty great. The updates seemed to be a little unstable like the camera not working. Is the new one, 4.12 pretty much fixed? And are there many changes with 4.2.2? I may try PACman. How's that stability wise? Stability and speed (I just want it to work without waiting you know?) are priorities.

ptmr3's Jedi Mind Trick JB 2.1 is by the the fastest and smoothest and glitch free rom out there
I have tried almost all roms of the ICS and JB flavour
personally I do not like non touchwiz roms
and all CM and AOKP 4.2 roms do not support MHL output or Bluetooth mouse properly
everything seems to work on JMT except for OP known issues

Is 4.2.2 worth it?

So I switched to android 4.2.2 a while ago, on cyanogenmod nightly. But I saw mc3 was leaked, and want to try it.
Problem is it's 4.1.2, and I heard idle battery drain was improved in 4.2.2,but i can't recall my battery before this, since I recently got an extended battery.
Your opinion on whether or not I should chang to leaked "stock" MC3, or just stay.
I'm thinking about switching because I miss motions, parts of Svoice, and multi window was added in the leak.

So make a android and try it. It doesn't really matter what we think. It works great for TW. There is a rdf for md4 so an OTA will probably be out sooner then later, is my guess.

LiquidSmooth>TouchWiz
I would suggest sticking with Android 4.2.2 since TouchWiz MC3 only has a few extra features which to me are mainly gimmicks while AOSP 4.2.2 is much better with a lot less loaded crap on your phone and it's easier to modify in my opinion.
I personally don't use Nightly ROMs since they tend to be unstable which is not worth it. I am currently using LiquidSmooth version 2.2. The great thing about LiquidSmooth is that it's based on Cyanogenmod+AOKP+SlimRoms+Extra=LiquidSmooth. Also with less bloat that means that there is less extra stuff sucking on your battery in an AOSP ROM. A very smooth, stable and fast ROM with no bloat unlike stock TouchWiz.
Or if you want to stick with TouchWiz I would recommend a custom ROM such as strongsteve's Odexed Blue ROM, very nice ROM and much more professional and nicer looking compared to other modified TouchWiz ROMs in my opinion.

Yeah, I suppose you can remove the bloat manually but I find that a bit annoying. But it depends on what you like and want. Personally, my phone would pick up like 5/10 calls on TouchWiz while on AOSP ROMs it picks up all calls I make. I don't know why that is but hey it works. :laugh:

I am running sons of android 4 . There is no battery drain issues on this rom. I can go all day with lots of use and still average well above 50 percent battery life .

I haven't used a 4.2 ROM in awhile, does anyone know if they fixed the issue with sound not coming through a dock when it is connected ?

Yeah its worth it! You get a more features

+1. ALTHOUGH, you also lose all of the Samsung features though, but I rarely used them (motion, smart stay, etc.) and they are mainly gimmicks to me. Multi-view could come in handy I suppose but I would just rather use the task manager, multi-view I would use all the time if I had the Note, not on the GS3 though.
If you want an awesome 4.2.2 ROM I HIGHLY recommend DeviantXone. It just got updated today with loads of new stuff. Great ROM and great devs.

If you still want a touchwiz launcher and android 4.2.2 AND paranoid android settings try out JellyBam, I ran that ROM for like a month

The only TW feature that I really miss is the stock video player. I loved floating that guy around and found it really easy to use. I tried the other floating players on the Play Store, but didn't really like them all that much. I currently use MXPlayer and allow the audio to play in the background. I deal with it, but once in a blue moon I'll restore my stock rom just to experience the glory of the floating video player.

I suggest that if you're interested in a ROM, go ahead and try it out. Different people like different things, so it's up to you to find out what works for you. With Titanium Backup and nandroid backups, it's easy to switch to different ROMs without losing critical data.
Personally, I ROM jump a lot. If I see something that looks interesting, whether it's 4.1, 4.2, TouchWiz, or AOSP, I'll check it out and run it for a few days. If I don't like it, I'll either nandroid back or flash another ROM I found interesting. That's what I love about Android.

My bad, I'm working on a ROM as well! So when I get done you should give my ROM a try...I'm trying to make it fully stable

IMHO, if I wanted an AOSP ROM I would have gotten a Google Phone. Buying a brand name phone will always come with brand-specific bloat.

Yea, but the nexus 4 isn't on sprint (yet?) And the galaxy nexus is pretty old specs wise. If one person wanted the latest and greatest, and they were on sprint, it would most likely have to be a brand phone...

[Q] Need Help deciding on a rom for my Gs3

Currently I'm looking to flash a rom onto my Gs3 that has Multi-Window enabled, but maybe something that doesnt involve touchwiz(?), I'm just a newbie to XDA and I wasn't sure on what the best Roms for my Gs3 that still have Jelly Bean, but aren't exactly stock rom are. I've been looking at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176793
But one thing i noticed is that in the description it talks about how the dev removed VERIZON bloatware and VERIZON ota updating, which makes me a little skeptical as to flashing it to my AT&T GS3. Any and all suggestions on what a good, stable rom with Multi-window and possibly some of the other GS3 original features would be appreciated!

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4

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".

Best TW ROM?

Hi guys,

I would suggest dandroid or s3rx. Dandroid is based from s3rx just aosp themed and heavily debloated. You may have to search a little bit for 4.1.2 of those but they are the most stable for me. Btw they both are stable on 4.3. Been running them as my daily driver for months and I used dandroid before on 4.1.2 which was also very reliable. S3rx for 4.1.2 gives you more of a choice in whats in it with aroma so that may work better for you.

I'm fine updating no sense in staying at 4.1 I was just stating that.. Thanks will look into those
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

i747z is a good ROM if you can find the 4.1.2 version - the 4.3 version is buggy, and the developer isn't much help for fixing it.

XDA does not allow best rom threads because in short there is no best rom.
