What is the best custom rom to use on my shg-i747 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Here's a list of specs for my device.
Unlcoked & Rooted
Currently on MetroPCS 4G/LTE Unlimited Plan (speeds are incredible for only $60/mon.)
Android Version - 4.3
Baseband Version - I747UCUEMJB
Kernel - 3.0.31-2024954 ( I have no clue what that means)
Build Number - JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB (also don't know what that means)
I rooted the most recent stock AT&T 4.3 Jellybean which is cool already but I want a rom that also me to adjust RAM (i think it's called overclocking) and also I want something that looks good. I seen some pictures of SlimRom and it looks dull and dry although it has some pretty nice compact features.
Any help would be appreciated. I just don't want to hard-brick my phone again like I did trying to install Android Revolution HD which I later found out was an International ROM.

I think aokp has a good balance between speed and costomization, if you want a load of features go with P.A.C.Man ROM its three Roms in one....all these should work on your BL (mjb) just make sure not to upgrade your BL or modem to 4.4.2

[Q] Flashing a custom ROM

So I have a rooted S3 (Rogers) at the moment but Im not quite sure what kind of ROM is good for it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I followed that guide - Just in case this info might come handy.
and also
Model No. : SGH-1747M
Baseband : I747MVLLH1
Im still quite new but I do have a bit of experience since I did root + flash a custom rom my S2 before
Thanks
Make a backup of your imei and do a nandroid back up. It all depends on what kind of rom you want. If you want to stack closer to stock then go with a Touchwiz based rom so that you'll keep all the samsung goodies. If you're a purist and want a more pure android experience then go with an aosp rom. I'm using task's and ktoonsez's aokp build and I find it to be extremely good. I haven't used any of the TW based roms but if I were to I'd use Triune II based on nunhugger doing great things on my previous phone(samsung infuse).
Instead of just asking which custom Rom to flash, I'd advise you to find out exactly what you want from a rom and then maybe people can make a better suggestion to you.

[Q] Which method to go back to stock? Please help.

I am aware of the threads pertaining to similar questions like mine but I am uncertain of their similarities and most don't provide relevant information that will help me. Here are the current software details for my rooted phone.
Carrier - AT&T
Android Version - 4.4.4
Baseband Version - I747UCUEMJB
Model Number - Samsung-SGH-I747
ROM - Carbon
Carbon Version - Carbon-Quantum-7/25
Recovery - ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.3
I am planning on getting a new phone within the coming days, most likely a Note 4, I plan on selling this phone and would like it to be stock Touchwiz. I don't remember the Android version I was on when I bought it in Dec 2012 but I'd like it to be exactly like it was then, I'd update it to the latest one on my own, or if that isn't practical then I'd go with the latest "stock" option available to my specifications.
I am currently looking at these two threads but I am unsure if which is the one for me?

Please help me. I'd like to go as "stock" as I can. Thanks!
The first method would be your best bet. Your phone has the mjb bootloader; therefore, none of the stock AT&T firmware from sammobile.com can be flashed to your phone.
You should flash back to stock and run OTA to get the latest KK ROM on your phone.

[Q] Note2 LTE Headache

Can anyone Please tell me what would the best rom I could choose to install? I understand I can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 what choices (if any) do I have? I have googled and tried my best to take in some of the vast info on XDA most confusing on what to exactly choose or look for Im not computer savy like many on here
Note 2 t0lexx LTE Kitkat 4.4.2 (drains battery quickly) despite stopping some apps with Titanium still feel as though the rom has a lot of bloatware, network works along with wifi and bluetooth
SuperSU, network unlocked, Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.1
knox0x1
FIRMWARE INFO
Bootloader N7105XXUFNI2
Baseband N7105BVUFNE1
PDA N7105XXUFN12
CSC N7105EVRNG1
Kernal N7105 3.0.31-2682814 [email protected] 3912 #1
Would Ditto note 3 or 4 work or would I be better with Dimond Rom V8.0L or Nameless 5.0 (think I read somewhere of problems with Bluetooth and Wifi, Im not 100% sure)
Thank you for any help

Would this give better battery life?

flashed UCUBMK6 now it is very sluggish

Hi, I have CWD recovery along with the following ROMs installed. I believe this one is rooted and stock AT&T.
However afte rflashing, it is quite sluggish, the screen is simply not smooth plus the response is slow. I am wondering what is out there I can do to mitigate the issue?
Also the settings has much lesser menus available and many configuratble items are simply not there:
Here is the info:
android v: 4.3
BB ver: I317UCUBMK6
kernel: 3.031-2048209 [email protected] #1
Build No. JSS15J.I317UCUBMK6
I am wondering if there is a later build available that has better performance and features or any other ROMs? What I am looking for us stability and all features are working and rooted ROM.
and I unlocked my phone and switched to T-mobile.
Thanks.,
ok
There are many in this forum rom or try another rom view

from Nexus 4 to Note 3.. a few questions

I'm coming from the world of Nexus to the world of Samsung so naturally I have a few questions..
A bit of info about the note 3:
- purchased from a friend
- seems to be already rooted (there's superuser in the app drawer)
- running android 4.3 jelly bean with all the samsung and tmobile bloat wear
- phone seems to be unlocked (it recognized my Rogers sim card without a problem)
- not sure about KNOX status.. i download samsung knox warranty checker and it says 'unable to detect' bit. possible pre knox firmware installed?'
- android 4.3
- kernel 3.4.0-1670611
-baseband/bootloader: n900tuvubml7
build: jss15j
- its running CWM bootlader installed through the rom manager app
My questions
- I'd like to update this phone to either Kit Kat or Lollipop and I just wonder how I'd go about that?
- I want to keep all the Samsung bloatware as I use a lot of the Samsung options, and I dont really mind the tmobile stuff.. I want it as stock as possible
- I'd also like to keep the unlock, I'm pretty sure it's SIM unlocked.. will I have problems with the unlock? will I have trouble connecting to Rogers again? Do I need their APNs?
- 4.3 jelly bean is actually running super smoothly.. but its starting to feel out dated. I will admit that I wanna update for the sake of updating.. is it even worth it? Will the performance suffer? I'm thinking of only updating to KK
- Do I have to use Odin for stuff like that? with the nexus I'd usually just download the rom and use CWM to flash it
- Any ROMS you recommend that retain all the samsung options yet are fast and stable?
