T-Mobile Galaxy S3 LTE SGH-T999L
Hi there. I just want to flash the latest version of stock Android (L if possible, KitKat otherwise). The Google Now launcher isn't enough; I want the improved performance and efficiency and I want all the useless Samsung apps off my phone. After I root my phone, where do I get a simple stock ROM? All I can seem to find are custom ROMs with all kinds of mods. I just want stock Android or a very lightly-modified alternative. As far as I can tell right now the closest ROM would be CM.
Thanks.
Just FYI, you should only ask your question once. Asking multiple times often just serves clutter and confusion.
All available roms will be in the development and original development sections. Not sure if L is being worked on or not tbh.

I am new to android and i want to Root my S3. I know there are many Stock rom options available but do not know which one to prefer.
Can any one help me rooting this device and getting a stock rom on it. The existing AT&T version has bloatware that eats up my battery and performance.
Thanks
Once you are rooted, use something like titanium backup to freeze anything you don't want.

What's the point of rooting and installing recovery if you want to use a stock ROM? They are the worst possible ROM's available for this phone. Do yourself a huge favor and install either an AOKP ROM or CM10. Both are MUCH better than stock ROM's and give you much more customizability.
I am running rooted stock nothing wrong with it.
You will have to read through the ROMs listed in development to decide which is right for you.
No one can make that decision for you
All ROMs are the best for the users running them.
Thanks

Hello,
I just bought a Nexus Galaxy week ago, I received the OTA update to 4.1.1, but not to 4.1.2. Is there any way I can download it and installed with the cable or something?
Should I let the original software on the phone or flash one of the ROMs found in the development section?
What are the advantages of the stock one over the others?
The things that kind of bothers me with the stock one are: no T9 dialer and no configuration possible on the drawer (for example, I would like to have the airplane mode directly on the drawer like in CM ROMs).
Thank you!

1. this is the general section, questions belong in the q&a section
2. custom roms offer more customization than stock rom, read the threads in the dev section and you will get idea.
3. if you just want to update to 4.1.2 there are stock roms in the dev section
4. only YOU can asnwer if you should flash a custom rom or not
5. next time post in the correct section
If you just wanna give stock 4.1.2 a go before going custom then follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Bear in mind it WILL wipe your phone as you have to unlock the bootloader but at least you've then done it!!
i think this would be more appropriate:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170
I'd recommend to give the stock 4.1.2 (yakju or takju) a try, then you can decide if you need a custom ROM or not.

Thanks a lot for all the answers!
Sorry to post in the wrong section.
I'd recommend giving JBSourcery ROM a try, it's quite possibly the best ROM that I've ran on my GNex so far.
Come to the dark side. We have...ok,we dont exactly have weed and cookies,but we have roms and kernels.

Forget 4.1.2 ... flash 4.2
Guys i just recently became a proud owner of a Galaxy note 2 AT&T edition and so far i love the phone.It's been unlocked and rooted with a cleanrom ACE 4.7.0 and i wanted to know have they released a proper app2sd patch for it?How to update cleanrom?And also is cleanrom the best rom for note2 because i've been having some lag issues in some of the softwares and was wondering would the stock rom be better?I know i'm talking like a noob but that's coz i am,I have no idea where to search for this stuff on this expansive forum so please help me
Well if you want to search, google is a good place to start.
AFAIK there isn't a app2sd patch for this device.
To update cr you just need to go to Scott's roms webpages and download the updated version, transfer to your sd card, boot in recovery and flash. Make sure to read the op in the thread for recommended wiping instructions.
As far as the "best" rom, it's all about personal preference. I prefer cr over all others because I want a stock experience with out the bloat and add some goodies. But you'll get a hundred different people saying that xyz rom is the best for abc reasons.
Lag can be caused by a number of things... It can be apps open or processes hanging. Usually a clean install of your rom will clear it up. If it persist than try another TW rom. If you still see it then try an AOSP or AOKP rom. It's all about finding what works best for you.

Hello everyone, I have a new T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 running stock 4.4.2. The phones been pretty good with the exception of TouchWiz. I HATE TouchWiz. To me it is a deal breaker. I much prefer the vanilla Android experience of my Galaxy Nexus. So I'd like to know if it would be possible for me to install something like CM11 or AOSP? Or should I just exchange my Note for Nexus 5? I apologize if this has been answered before, but as a newb I haven't been able to find a clear answer in searching and I really need an answer with only a couple of days left to exchange my phone.
To skip to the question,
Would it be possible for me to install a ROM like CM11 or AOSP onto my new T-Mobile Note 3 which has been updated to 4.4.2?

Yes, you can install CM11 easily, as long as you don't care about KNOX.
You just need to download your favorite recovery(I use TWRP 2.7), odin install it. Then download the latest version of whatever AOSP ROM you want, and make a backup of your current system in recovery, then format all(excluding internal and external SD), then flash the ROM.

I don't see any CM11 or other AOSP ROM's in the TMO Original Development subforum. My favorite AOSP ROM, SlimROM, only shows the "Hlte" Note 3 as being supported. Which I think is the International N3. Can we flash that on the TMO S3's?

Yes, ALL AOSP Rom's are "Unified" meaning that the HLTE version of their roms support our device, and other hlte versions(AT&T and so on).

Thanks. That's the way it is for the S4 also.
But on the AT&T S4 original development subforums, we actually have AOSP ROM threads. Where as I see none on the TMO Note 3 subforum. Kinda weird.
please give me a link for the best roms for my note 3 t mobile.many thanks

FIrst you need to tell us what are the features you are looking for and stock base dosent support.
In my opinion its way better to stay stock even unrooted (yes I said it!) for a while since everything seems to be in order on latest stock firmware.
When i was lurking around looking myself for some other custom alternative I was not impressed.Unreliable configs (bad ram managment and poor battery life),bad support,weekly changes,lack of NFC and unreliable camera(on nonTMO-base).This is mostly due to "developer" which are still learning basics to android development and lack of Samusng sources.
In concluison if you are still derermined to swich or just to try out I would suggest you to try either Dominion or for nonTW official cyanogemod rom.
Cheers and sorry for any spell errors.

Thanks for this useful source and idea..i have only note 3 n900t stock rom.rooted already not yet customize rom....coz im looking for the best for my t mobile note 3....i will try soon dominion and cyanogen mod..thanks a lot...
What version of android is your stock rom? The latest is FOL1. I havent seen much of a difference between FOL1 and FOB6 to be honest but since FOB6 im not impressed. I tried to hold out as long as i could with DNF9 running a stock deodexed rom with xposed and a few other visual mods and never had any problems. I might just roll back to it.
