I'm new to this and looking for a fully functional and stable ROM for my i747. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried cm12 and 13 but the buggyness (not a word) proved too problematic for me. I've also tried RR KitKat version and really liked it but I also need my bluetooth to function, which it did not. So if you can please give me some ideas on good stable ROM's that have all features working properly I would really appreciate the help.
The most stable rom would be the latest stock rom.

Is there a way to get the latest stock rom without the extra bloatware?
I recommend installing a stock ROM, rooting, and using Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall apps.

Have you tried enewman's S3 Rx ROM? I think it comes without the bloatware, I am not 100% sure though.

as far as i know, skype is compatible with every rom, custom or kitchen...anyway, i suggest you to install 2 specifics roms, depends of what do you need:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482038 if you want to keep updated with the last versions of android (kit kat isn't so stable, nowdays). This is based on android 4.3.1, it's for daily usage, stable, smooth and very good battery drain. Anyway it's not a finished version, so it will be need for updates sometimes (p.s. i have this rom with skype perfectly working)
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795 if you want a complete rom, with no bugs and completely updated, when you flash it that's it, no updates more. This too is stable, smooth and has a very good battery drain, the only difference with the previous rom that i said is that it's based on android 4.1.2 and it need no more updates. (p.p.s before of the 4.3.1, i had this rom, and skype was working as well as on the 4.3.1)
so choose one and enjoy your galaxy wonder

I've used almost all custom roms and with all of them skype crashed when I leave it (not close it). Now I'm using EHNDROIX III because some people said that it's one of the most stable (and REMICS too), but it's slow.
I'll follow your advice, thanks! If I have any problem, I'll post it here.

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for about a year and have just been running stock Android. I would like to try installing a custom ROM on my phone.
I am planning on using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit program to unlock and root my phone.
Now, to my question. There are so many ROM's available that I feel overwhelmed when trying to choose which one to use. My only requirements in a ROM is that it has to be stable and give good battery life. Can someone recommend a good one for me to try?
Thank you!
Its hard to anwer it because everyone has its preference since every device acts differently with certain ROM. For example, I use OmniMetal and Im pretty satisfied how it works. You should try few ROMs and find which one suits you best. Read some topics, decide which options you need, and which you dont, which Android version you prefer... Maybe you should start with some standard ROMs such as CM, AOKP, AOSPA...
As I alread said, its question that is hard to answer, and its also disrespectful to every dev since they are all doing it for free

I'm a guy like you who don't want the hassle of updating the rom every week or so. I moved to cm11 from stock 4.3 rom. But flashing a new nightly every other day to be up to date is not my thing. I do follow forums regularly but don't not a flash-a-holic. I know cm11 is very stable and i can stay on a milestone release. But knowing that an update is a available is available makes my hands itchy to flash it. Suddenly shiny rom 4.4 appeared on our threads. It's close to stock. Just like how stock 4.3. Been running shiny from a month. No issues as of now. Paired shiny rom 4.4 with dirtyv and my phone is smooth.
If you are looking for a stable rom like stock 4.3. I'd recommend you shiny rom.
If you want a fully optimised featured rom, go with cm, omni, liquid smooth, vanirs, pa etc. Let me tell you. Every 4.4 rom out there is smooth and stable. But flashing roms every week to be on latest is not my thing. So i settled with shiny 4.4.

Thanks! I will give Shiny ROM a try.
I mean, anything that says STABLE on the thread title or thread will let you know. SlimKat is stable and it works great.
Once you decide on which ROM to run I highly recommend installing gravitybox using Xposed Installer, which will give you just about every customization/feature/option that's available on most custom ROM builds.
Seriously almost evrry rom is stable. I cant think of one that isnt..

If you want stable kitkat on your gnex just flash latest cm 11 nightlie otherwise just use stock jb 4.3 with xposed installer an gravity box module for extra customization.Forget about every other custom rom because cm is the godfather of roms an usually way ahead in development.

Can't say anything against that, only custom rom I've tried and I see no reason to change it. The nightlies get updated OTA wich is smooth as silk.
Like others have said, if you are looking for a ROM with a few more customization features than stock, CM11 nightlies are pretty stable. I'd recommend starting with that and see how your device responds. I had been on the omni based ROMs for a while but I just tried the new Paranoid Android Beta 6 ROM by sd3993 and it is running so smooth. Almost all other ROMs I tried had slight issues like the music stuttering when I turned on/off my screen, which I haven't seen on this ROM. I have yet to see how battery life fares, but it is performing spectacularly in terms of smoothness. Once you have found a ROM that is to your liking, then maybe research flashing some kernels and start unlocking some true power on your device. Good luck in your search!
Thanks for all the replies! :good:
I'll go ahead and add Slimkat and CM 11 to my list to try.

This is the first time I've heard of gravitybox and Xposed installer. Has anybody a got a link to a good walkthrough?

gravitybox doesn't have custom animations right? i quite like that in OmniROM..
I'm using parandoid android, it's still on beta, but for me is the best, very smooth, and stable
I'd recommend CyanFox. Its stable, good amount of customizations and feels quite snappy on my nexus. Also, gapps are integrated...

I'm using omnimetal rom. It's smooth and have a special feature--multi-window. The rom is also stable, no reboot or any serious problem.
Hi guys,
I got tired for looking around in this forum trying to find one STABLE 6.0 ROM so I decided to ask. Could u guys provide me one good STABLE 6.0 ROM? (CM ROM preferred)
Thank u guys very much in advance.
Don't think you're going to find a completely stable and bug-free 6.0 ROM. I tried a few and wound up flashing back to stock.
The most stables and bug-free ROM tends to be a stock Samsung ROM.

That's right... you won't find completely staple and bug-free ROM
Only the stock rom ..
I've been running 4.4.2 aosp for a while and want to try something more... It turns itself off sometimes which becomes inconvenient too...can you please suggest a Rom that's fast and stable for this phone with loads of options to customize?
I've rooted with twrp...
The most stable is going to be stock or stock with root to remove bloatware.

I understand, which stock firmware in your opinion seems to be the fastest and smoothest?
There's only 1 stock KK firmware for the s3 so that would be the one to use.
Stock was actually less stable then CM 13 (Android 6) for me. Hoping LineageOS makes 14.1 (Android 7.1) usable.

Here.
Strange that stock was not stable. I know several people still using the Canadian version of the s3 with no problems.
I've been using stock, seems extremely solid and stable in my use. Even the battery lasts almost a day for me... Using Greenify to help with additional drains too
I'm currently using an S3 as a daily since a friend of mine generously donated his so I can install ROMS.
I'm having heating and performance issues, and I can't find the right ROM to install to this device.
I'm currently using LineageOS (7.1.2) and it's not stable at all. There's too much bugs and lag.
Anyone got cool 7.1.2 stable ROMS that I can install on this device?
I would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
The most stable ROM is going to be a stock unrooted ROM.

That's not what I meant.. The only reason why I'm using a custom ROM is because the apps I use don't support the stock ROM.

Make sure you turn off Adaptive display and LiveDisplay. This should give your phone a massive speed boost as it did for mine. It`s the first thing I do whenever I flash Lineage OS on any device.
However many Galaxy S3 T-999 has been plagued by another problem for some months. Whenever I flashed any custom ROM (I have tried CM 13, CM 14/Linage OS, Mokee), The phone`s goes on mute mode. It makes no sound whatsoever. But it works fine on stock 4.3 but like you said many apps don`t support it anymore.
