[Q] Should I put a rom on - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Hey all! I JUST got my new S3 and I was wondering if the battery life and everything STOCK is worth to keep or should I flash a tweaked rom? THANKS

I'm contemplating the same thing right now. Just rooted but I'll think I'll wait for JB release.
Stock rom is pretty darn fast and battery life is good.

I'm running aokp already but when I got my phone I kept it stock to try battery life and what not, I would recommend you to check that out first

Flashing is up to user!
Most of the roms are new so there is not a lot of time to judge battery life yet. But I'm on Ultimatum and its running good. YMMV If your in doubt wait a while and keep reading the dev forums.
Good luck!

what carrier are you with?
blazer rom is awesome, gets rid of all the bloat very nice.
has some needed tweaks to make it fast and smooth

You can always flash back to stock. I'm on t-mobile and free gs3 is working for me.

What's the best rom for the photon?

Homebase 2.1 with 4.2 update has been flawless for me. No issues like others have had with the stock releases.
Tried a couple of themes over it but they eventually cause minor issues. So left it bare and themed with different launchers.

Good work. I like your description of the vibrate icon. I was surprised that the other devs left it for as long as they did.
Does the stock Mms.apk work with the lock screen notifications?
and does the stock MMS fix pictures showing up as a video?
Been running for 1/2 a day now Everything is running crazy good.
Smooth, fast, no bugs, great battery life. REALLY good stuff
I am also a sucker for the animations you put in. LOVED them on my captivate and still do

@h8trift, have you done anything to effect data speeds? It feels more consistant than others. Maybe its just a good data day but its been really good today. Total speed it about the same just more consistant/smooth.

Yeah, this rom is where it's at... I never use custom roms. This is the first completely usable AND impressive Rom I've seen since getting a rezound in '11.
A nice refresh to get me through another half a year or so until upgrade time hits! I'll be donating... Where's that link...

What rom are you currently running at the moment?

Just curious to find out what ROM everyone is running , that is if you're currently running a ROM on your phone.
I'd like to hear why you are enjoying that ROM at the moment and I'm sure the developers would too.

I'm back on Ineffiablis Deus 1.2. It's the most stable ROM out there for me. Though, I wish there was more 3.6 development going on.

when I first unlocked and rooted my phone all I was flashing we're a.o.s p roms the day I decided to flash a sense based ROM was neat because I figured hey I could still use the stock camera app and it felt a bit more stable to me. I mean AOSP rom are aesthetic but they lack stableness. I would like to see the day that I can run an AOSP rom with stability on my phone. but yeah I have used ecliptic rom too it was neat. Sense based of course but neat

Stangs AOSP latest build. I think it's real stable, it is almost as stable as sense. Actually have not had a issue except slightly decreased battery life

I, for one, can't stand that hollow, hallway noise when I'm in a call and hearing the constant echo of my voice. It drives me nuts. That's really my only qualm, but enough for me to stay away.
well that and the quality of my camera being degraded.

I was running pacman and had very clear audio and on bluetooth I did switch back to a sense 4 Rom biggest things I missed was the keyboard and camera I take a lot of pics so the camera was important. I do miss the multitasking and speed of 4.2.2 but that is what my nexus 7 is for.

Still haven't tried it, though I may at some point.
I tried Ecliptic for a week or so, and it just didn't bode well with my phone. This Asurion replacement is just nothing like my original Rez.

Stable 4.2.2

So I have tried out quite a few roms and have had issues with battery life. I'm not overclocking and haven't had a lot of use but it's no where near sense battery. Any thoughts?

I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1 experimental that I downloaded directly from cyanogen.org and it is super smooth with excellent battery life. Way better than any sense ROM. The new ouroboros sense ROM has good battery life and so does super jelly milestone 4. But if you want 4.2.2, go with cyanogen 10.1 builds.

I'm back on the sense 5 port. With moderate use all day at work and data enabled I'm at 56 percent so decent. I will give cm a try again I suppose it's weird how aosp on my og eco and epic 4g seemed more stable. It may be mods on other roms that can cause issues. Have you used the new aosp kernel
