Later today I'll be trading my Galaxy Nexus for a One X. Of course the first thing I'll be doing is to dev unlock and get flashing.
I don't like Sense so ideally I'd like to use a CM10 based ROM or at least a de-sensed ROM. I would like something relatively stable. I've had a quick look at what's on offer here in the forums but unfortunately don't have time to read through all the replies to figure out just how stable the ROMs may be.
It would be extremely helpful if someone could recommend a ROM based on this information and maybe give me a brief outline of any bugs. Any information at all is helpful - it's a bit overwhelming coming to a new device as I'm sure many of you have experienced before.
Many thanks in advance.

Well the one x is a big phone, so try paranoid android... It's cm10,it's stable and it's pretty cool if you can display the tablet versions of the apps und resize all apps to your liking...

If you are into customizations, I would recommend ViperX based on 4.0.4 with sense removed in aroma installer.
I am currently on TeamNDVRu's cm10 a12 jb and really happy about it.

I ran PA on my Nexus for a while. It was cool but I preferred standard CM10. Thanks anyway

That sounds good, I'll check it out. Have you found many bugs with the CM10 build apart from the reported mhl weirdness etc?

i think AOKP ICE COLD JELLY suits you. It is a non sense rom and have a good battery life. And it is quite stable for me:good:

Other than those stated In OP, my wifi strength is a bit low. But doesn't bother me. Battery is good for moderate use, phone calls, emails, xda etc. No gaming for me. Give it a try. There are also other CM10 roms available if you don't like it.

Try ARHD with ST ? Or CoreDroid or Viper ? I personally highly recommend ARHD with ST unless you want full customizations ...

I personally love the work of Owain94 - CM10 Domination ROM build 6 with paranoid customization and for the kernel used either faux or ncx!
Been using it for quite sometime the only instability is the soft reset that happens on the device but overall its a great ROM!
What about jelly bean rom, what are u guys recommend?, all i need is all the vital function is works, like camera

Running the same ROM and loving it. :good:
Currently running CM10 a12 by Tbalden. Only minor issues are that the phone overheats sometimes and CPU values don't seem to stick. Seems fine otherwise.
Thanks for the help everyone!

If it has the same base, just install the new version on top using cwm and without superwipe. If it's a new base, superwipe is recommended and you'll also need to flash the boot.img.

I think best camera is in Tbaldens JB/CM10 ROM( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696 )...
But its still poor compared to the Sense camera...And if you used Onexed camera mod it is day and night difference, sadly but true.:/
I tryed al rooms and I can say renovate room 5.2.0 is the best, has the most feature included (camera mode, sound mode etc.) Also a excellent battery life combined with the faux kernal , after 2 hours and a half on standby ( checked 3-4 times the clock ) I still had 100% battery .and you can install without sense if you want .

I just received my S3 a few days ago and have just now been following threads to scope the scene. I am aware that I can create a backup and play around with the ROM's myself, and I will do that actually. Before I do this I would like YOUR opinion on the top ROM and why. What I (personally) look for in a ROM is: stability, good battery time, performance/benchmarks, features, look & feel and more. Thank you very much and have a happy new year!
tldr; What is the best (US) Galaxy S 3 ROM based on stability, battery time, performance, features and look/feel.
That's a tough question as everyone has personal opinions of different Roms and each device will also handle each ROM different in my opinion this will only turn into a this ROM is better than that ROM thread and that is not good

It depends on what you are looking for from a ROM.
If you want stable stay with stock TW
If you want latest and greatest chose AOSP/AOPK Rom.
Both are now on 4.2 which is much smoother and faster than TW.
No bloatware of course. Better battery life with custom kernels etc...
CM 10.1 is great
Tasks AOPK is better IMHO at the moment. CM is updated nightly which is a plus it minus... Task updates his ROM less frequently but it's a lot more stable at the moment...
Which ever ROM you choose if not stock READ entire OP make sure you follow it to the T and then read all posts as they tell you all about bugs and workarounds
Good luck

I always follow the instructions to a T, I want the best experience possible out of anything I flash ever. You mentioned better battery life with the Kernels, any experience with ktoonsez's or Task's kernel? Could you give me some estimate figures (example: 5 hours battery on stock, 8 on ktoonsez)
Running Illusion (CM based Rom) with the latest KT747 and no issues here, so I disagree with the guy above. I prefer stock android which is why I like roms like Task's AOKP and CM10.1 the most. It all comes down to preference.
Running Tasks AOKP 4.1.2. With lean kernel. Never crashes never any problems. Most stable custom ROM I've ever used. 4 hours screen on time, best battery I've ever gotten.
Just waiting for some updates on 4.2 then I will upgrade.

Thanks, orig dev I think was the only one I didn't click on.. Time is limited taking care of a 6month old..
This just ends up being a popularity thread.
I'm a huge AOKP/CM10 fan, but right now those ROM's don't have the one thing I need (USB-DAC) so I'm stuck with TouchWiz based ROM's.
I flashed Ultimatum ROM last week and have yet to have a single issue with it.
It's mostly stock with minor tweaks, so it SHOULD be a reliable ROM.
I then flashed a 23toggle mod with blue icons, so I at least have a good looking ROM also.
I find myself always restoring a debloated version of DG's m7 stock based rom with tasks kernel. I use rom toolbox as well to help tweak certain battery consuming apps. I usually lose 3-5% overnight on standby(7 hrs if I'm lucky and my kids let me). I think juice deffender helps me as well. Performance is pretty good but I'm a battery dork. The thread is probably back a couple pages now if you want to look at it. All of these dev's make great roms though. Try them all. Its called flashaholic and i'm a member.

I did.
I had the same question, but about the newer 4.2.1 roms. I want to upgrade, but i'm not sure which one will work best for me. Seems like Task and KTz joint is the most popular right now, but CM10 has been my daily. AS far as TW, I keep going back to Bacon Step with KTZ kernal becasue i use bluetooth alot and its my last TW backup. I want 4.2, but i need bluetooth to listen to my podcasts. What 4.2 rom has working bluetooth audio?
For those of you serial flashers out there, what are the pluses and minuses of the different 4.2 roms? Let's hear your experiences and recommendations.
Please let us know about performance, battery life, stability, and features, and please let us know if any of those might be affected by a custom kernal or settings. Thanks guys!
Task's AOKP:
Illusion CM 10.1:
Liquid Smooth:
Vanilla Rootbox:
Slim Bean:
Bajee AOKP:
All of them have bugs but they have cutting edge features that allow you to live with some issues. It really depends on how you use your phone. You really need to test drive them for yourself.

Of course. It's just that I know many people have already flashed them all, and I was hoping knowledgeable sources would share their experiences with respect to how they use their phones. Crowd-sourcing, man. Share the knowledge.
Try them all and stop when you find one you like.

Of ones you listed I like AOKP best. Its just clean. IT feels polished.... Deff a possible daily driver if you don't mind bluetooth problems (which might be fixed by now anyway) point is its a good rom. However the one you didn't list in my title is JELLYBAM
Which I use and love. Its not as polished its a mix of 3 sorces... but its dam good.... plus best bat life I have got from a rom Unless you want one thats stripped down (then you can get more bat life) but I like to use my S3 and I enjoy hell out of it... anyway k
Try jellybam.... if its to not the norm for you just go with AOKP or Im sure cm10 be fine too... I never tried them though..
Later bro. There all good in there own way. Try a few its as simple as a back up lol
I've also tried Jellybam for a few days and battery life has surpassed the other roms I've tried (Tasks' AOKP and Liquidsmooth which I've used for about a month each). I mostly use my phone for web browsing, sms, and skype. I do not call much. I was pretty shocked that I was still at 60% after a day (used about 2 hours of screen time). I've also used ktoonsez kernel with the same settings for each rom.

all I want to know is do any of those have good, working bluetooth audio?
I think tasks Rom is the most supported but I don't use Bluetooth but if you do search the thread about people who do you might find a good Rom. I love aokp and tasks been my daily driver with updates always for about two months I can't go back to touch wiz I tried. Task and I use ktoonz kernel. Either way the built in kernel is fine I just like under clocking and when playing need for speed over clocking is nice to have hope I helped typing on phone sorry for errors.

With the unlocked bootloader and rom development I figured this would be a good time for people to post their own experiences and preferences thus far with what they have tried. Be as detailed or as vague as you want and maybe we can help some folks make up their own minds.
For me, I have tried 2 somewhat extensively. CM 10.1 and AOKP.
- CM 10.1 - For me, it was exactly what people have been saying. It's basically stock 4.2.2. I didn't give it enough time to experience it's battery life. It seemed stable, but for all of the "trouble" I went to (I'm not very technology savvy), I felt like I wanted to get a little more out of a custom rom.
- AOKP - After short tests of Carbon and PAC, I hopped over to AOKP. Super customizable. I love to nitpick over settings on my phone anyway, so this played right into my preferences. It's very quick. Didn't feel any different from CM 10.1 as that was quick too. But both are snappier than stock. Battery life seems either the same or better than stock. I am just really enjoying this rom. Haven't run into any real serious issues. Although I will recommend that you go into developer settings and disable HW overlays. This will assist in better Web scrolling more smoothly for whatever reason. The only other minor issue I've seen relates to when the phone is booting up, for a quick moment you'll see a fuzz screen for maybe a third of a second. Nothing major, but would like to see it hopefully ironed out at some point.
- Carbon & PAC - Will consider giving them some good time in the future if I ever start feeling adventurous.
Overall it's nice being able to really do what I want with my M with root, an unlocked bootloader, and a custom ROM. After all, android is about options, isn't it?

I've seen some posts from you before, are you still running stock? If so do a nan droid back up of your stock to an external SD card first. Never know when you might need it For example, I used it to fix GPS issues with Carbon.

I actually prefer Stock over all the custom ROMs. Seems that I run into stability issues with everything else. I liked Eclipse, and I'm running CM 10.1 right now. As for all the others, I've tried and dismissed them all, mostly due to too many fcs.

Hi all, first post in xda forum! Just rooted my phone last week and immediately started flashing ROMs. I found that most of the ones I used had issues like camera not working and wasn't able to transfer all of my contacts for some reason. Never the less I really liked elemental x which is developed by the same person who developed eclipse I believe. I really enjoyed the aesthetics it offered especially changing the color of the navbar which unfortunately I couldn't find without using a ROM. So I decided to go and get the version he was working on before which is Eclipse. installed it today loving it so far. camera works fine but still don't have all my old contacts. Hope that wasn't too long, feel free to comment.

Sync your contacts with Goggle and you should always be able to restore them.
As for ROMs, I'm on Slim and I've been on it for a while. I ran AOKP for about 2 weeks and it had the best battery life out of any of the AOSP ROMs. However, I like the custom options of Slim and I'm using Marxman's port of it.
Sent from my Droid RAZR M using xda app-developers app
Thank you for your response is the advice on syncing to Google was very helpful. have all my contacts again. as for the camera I don't believe it was permissions issue and can't remember if I tried fixing the permissions. I might install the ROM again just check. The camera wasn't force closing it was just blank when it came up. Also I get keyboard errors when trying to use other ROMs. Has anyone else gotten that?

I agree that most roms are more unstable than stock.
I am waiting for miui to become stable. It has the first readable status bar that I know of. Anyone care to enlighten me about roms that have "white on black" options?
I would like to find a stock, deodexed, initd'ed & like the DST at Rzr but its not deodexed.

Orion AOKP is my fav (mostly due to battery life), so I'm sticking with that until Key Lime Pie comes out. In my experience, Orion AOKP is essentially just like the unofficial AOKP, but with battery saving and script tweaks.

I've tried both Pac and Carbon. Pac had more options, Carbon seemed snappier but with more fc's. I threw Liquid smooth when it showed up on goo a few weeks ago and I have settled down with it. It has been fast and very stable.
The past week, I've been trying to find a rom and kernel that would increase my battery life. I use my phone for many different things. However, I gave up trying to do so and I am reverting back to the stock rom and kernel, as I have heard that it gives decent battery life and offers the best stability. The only problem I have with this is that the stock rom is no where as smooth as aosp roms. Sometimes it laggy and it loads stuff slowly. Any way I can get around this? I know it isn't a big deal, but to me it makes a big difference.
In my opinion use a custom ROM based on stock firmware.and just test.

Believe me, I've tried. I haven't tried all roms, but what I do know is that I love custom roms because they are quick, responsive, and offer tweaking and customization. However, it isn't as stable and usually for me doesn't offer good battery life.
Have you read Woody's Battery Thread? I not, do so, it has tons of good info.
