I got a few questions:
1) Can you provide a link to a Lollipop rom for the S3 that has no issues? If not, can you suggest one with the least issues?
2) Can you provide a good Lollipop rom for the S3 thats not based on CM?

They all pretty much have the same issues, they're built off of the same base. And you're not gonna find a rom that's not built on CM. Maybe slim lp is the closest you're gonna come but CM is the base right now for everything. I'm running the nightlies and they're really stable. Definitely a daily driver. Some signal drops but that's pretty much it.

Works fine.
There are no best roms, what's best for you maybe isn't best for others.
That is why we don't allow these threads, since there's always members saying the rom they are using is best for them and becomes a redundant thread.
On that note, thread closed and moved.

I just got the phone last week, so im new to what ROM's are out there for the phone.. Whats the difference between Touchwiz and AOSP?
I am running CM10.1 (the most recent 'stable' build)
I've been running said rom non-stop since saturday and I have noticed no bugs thus far.
If anything it seems faster and more stable than stock touchwiz.
most noticeably my battery lasts WAY longer than it used to.
Just make sure you flash the right way, with the correct Gapps
I flashed the CM first by itself, then after it booted up successfully I went back and flashed Gapps separately.
Good luck and have fun!
I'm a noob so I can't post links... but get . cm is the site for the cm zip download,
and google gapps and it should be the first thing that pops up.

All of the roms are pretty stable, the best way to find one to your liking is to browse the development forum, read the ops of the roms and find some that are to your liking and try them all out. Everybody wants different things from their phone, so asking what's the best/most stable Rom is like asking what the best sandwich is for your tastes, just gotta try them out and decide for yourself... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: good luck in finding songwriting that suits your needs

Touchwiz is more of Samsung's addition to Android. AOSP is considered a fuller Google experience. For a stable AOSP ROM, your best bet would to be start out with CM10.1. CM10.1, an AOSP ROM, is much smoother than the S3's stock Touchwiz ROM. It runs much quicker and it often has better battery life. However, with AOSP ROMs, you lose Touchwiz features, such as "Smart Stay". You will most likely have to flash quite a few ROMs before you find one you like. I would suggest starting out by flashing the M snapshot of CM10.1 which can be downloaded here. Also, do not forget to flash the 4.2.1 gapps which you can get here. I am assuming you are rooted with a custom recovery installed. If this is the case, just look around in the dev section and you will find many tutorials giving step by step instructions how to flash specific ROMs. CM10.1 is now considerably stable and is fine for daily use.
Pros of Touchwiz: Has many nice features that make a more friendly user experience.
Cons of Touchwiz: Stock ROM is bloated. Often slower than an AOSP ROM. Usually has worse battery life than an AOSP ROM.
Pros of AOSP ROMs: Smoother user experience. Better battery life. Full Google experience. Developers often update these ROMs faster.
Cons of AOSP ROMs: Does not have as many features as Touchwiz.
Aosp is also a lot more customizable.
I consider my phone to be pretty great looking.
And it's pretty stock lol

Most of the roms on this forum are quite stable. Just read the first couple posts of the thread then read at least the last 10 pages. That'll give you a pretty good idea of any problems that may arise. But apart from that, it's really just a matter of preference. Some roms may do certain things that others don't. TW roms and AOSP-based roms are fairly different. AOSP-type roms are usually less bloated and therefore quicker however, TW roms can be just as smooth. My personal preferences for each type are:
AOSP: CM 10.1
TW: Goodness Rom (on team-nocturnal forums, also my absolute favorite thus far) or The People's Rom

The way the phone is right now isn't stable enough?
Transmitted with a portable device using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
@OP, this thread will most likely get closed because you will have a different meaning of "stable" and what makes a rom good as well. No one but you can know yadda yadda, long story short -> Just flash roms that have nice screenshots and try out as many as you can

All ROMs are great and stable for those that use them. All you will get here is opinions and a closed thread. There is no substitute for reading about the software you plan on drastically altering your $600 device with.

My buddy has a gs3 and the stock ROM isn't working or for him in terms of battery life. I'm pretty sure it's due to all the bloatware so I plan on rooting and throwing a custom ROM on it. However I don't have a gs3 so I'm not sure what the most stable ROMs with the least amount of bugs are. Suggestions?

Could start with a debloated stock?
Also, does he want TW or AOSP? Once you know the answer to that one, simply search the top threads and go with w/e he likes the best. They all have their features and such in the OP.

That really depends on what type he prefers: stock touchwiz style or aosp based. Everyone has their own opinion. In the Android development section you can find toms that are based on stock firmware. In the original android section are the aosp based roms. I would have him look at and read over the first page of each section. The most active roms are usually on the top half or so of the first page.

Doesn't matter. He's not a power user and will be fine with either. I just want to make sure I give him the most stable ROM since he doesn't tweak experiment like a lot of us do. Based on my previous experience with past phones I automatically towards AOKP but I'm at work and don't have the time to look through all the rom threads to get a feel of which is most stable so I figure I'd just ask.

Task's AOKP is rock solid. Tons of features and great performance. No stability issues for me and I've been running his updates exclusively since December.

Awesome, AOPK it is. Been a big fan of it myself. Only left because of the PA features.
Thanks for all the input everyone. Seems like of all my friends in the only one not using a gs3 lol.

If you haven't used Task's AOKP on an S3, it isn't quite like the AOKP you're probably used to. You'll have to try it out for yourself to see what's different.

They are all stable enough for daily use and none of them is bugfree because of leaked software not exactly fitting for N2.
Try them and find out which you like most :good:
There is no best .. All are pretty equal.. However my favorites are Resurrection remix, OmniRom.org and Paranoidandorid.

As far as the best goes.. The best rom will always be the one you haven't flashed in your phone

When CM12 came out for Sprint GS3 there were camera issues so I flashed back to stock. Now I read some roms have solved that. Due to work and this phone being my daily I can't be testing out roms so I'll appreciate if you guys recommend any good Lollipop ROM with working camera and decent battery life. Thankyou.

OctOS and AICP in android development
SlimLP, Liquid, and the official CM nightly can be found in Original Development.
They are pretty decent roms...a few quirks here and there, but mostly stable and great battery life.
There are more great roms too, so just read through the threads. I'm sure I have missed a few here.

+1 on AICP. I use AICP 9.0 and have minimal bugs. The camera works fine. The nightlies are surprisingly stable.
I'm just looking for one that the Original Camera works and has good battery life and 4G.
Going to check out AICP

AICP 10.0 releases just came out yesterday. However, the stock front-facing camera doesn't work (A Better Camera on the Play Store works), but other than that it's great.
Hi lads, Im getting my OP3 soon. Im wondering how your experience is with which rom/kernal.l so i can make my decision better. Thx!
Ask a dozen users and you'll get a dozen different answers, IMHO try stock for a week or so then see how you feel.
To me H2OS at the moment.

this is highly subjective question. it all depends on your personal preference.
1) best campera performance : stock
2) some extra features with decent camera: cm13 and other unofficial builds like of sultan.
3) lot of extra features: rr or dirty unicorn
4) nexus like stock: paranoid android, i personally love the floating mode on that rom.

I like features, but battery is the most important. Ill stay stock and see how it runs. Which kernal do your guys suggest for stock? Boefla or Elementalx?

Im not lazy.. Features are almost all the same. In just gathering user experiences so i know how much a rom is developed and how it runs. Since that isnt stated in those OP's. But i agree my thread title isnt correct, thank your for mentioning that.

True that. However, this thing is a beauty. Hope it lasts a while.
Camera sources are closed as they are for almost all devices
All development around camera it is focused on porting it to cm13 - 14
Most camera mods for other devices are mostly placebo, I haven't seen any important improvements regarding the quality on a device so far, what stock brings it's legit

*Kernel, not kernal (sounds like drunkass)
try stock OxygenOS for at least a week, then try Snapshot Build of CyanogenMod 13 with ElementalX Kernel and OxygenOS Camera Port and see if it works well for you ...
