looking at the forums I noticed 2 development categories, Original Android development and Android development
What is the difference?

Straight from the original development thread:
"This is meant for the newest roms ie: aosp, cm, aokp source builds. Kernels from source also. If you are porting a rom, it belongs in the normal development section, not here. Stock, I repeat stock roms; ones from Samsung themselves as in new versions; can go here.
Also for this section. Roms an kernels that bring forth something revolutionary that other roms do not have."

Just to Clarify...
android development means like stock roms and original android dev is like the custom modded roms

I think ports, like LewaOS, MIUI, DianXin, etc. also go in the normal development section.

All the ROMs in the dev section except a couple are touchwiz ROMs. Please read the OP of the threads

Which one do you recommend that is close to the stock Rom, thanks.
Your question is confusing, and, like most first-time posters, doesn't include enough information.
What do you want this ROM to do? Do you want a "vanilla" ROM (without TW)? Do you want the stock ROM (stock ROMs for the GT10 all have touchwiz)? If you just want a stock ROM, why not just go with the one thats on your GT10 now? If you want a custom ROM, you need to say what you want it to do to get recommendations.
Bah, just look in the development section. There's only 4 or 5 ROMs there. If you don't know what you want then just pick one and try it.

Though it cannot be said close to the stock ROM, I suggest Galaxy Task ROM
Galaxy Task is the only one not themed so it is more like stock Touchwiz than other ROMs.
There are only 2 ROMs in the Dev section that are not Touchwiz and they indicate that. Alterbridge, Task650, and DutchDanny all have created awesome Touchwiz ROMs based on the current release of Honeycomb 3.2. Out of the 3, Task does not theme his anymore and is actually done by bOOsted in a separate thread. Dutchdanny released KMN stock without theme that you can check out.
Both are great and really it is up to you which to keep after flashing them.
Is there a reason it HAS to be stock? Just curious...
Hey guys, this is my 1st, just wanted to say this is a really awesome community
A few quick questions:
1) DO ROMs such as AOKP (My current) come with CWM? I believe installed CWM v 4 as per droidstyle's (awesome) guide, but then after AOKP was installed, I have CWM v 5.
2) When I look in my phone's root directory I see the folder sdcard, but also in root/mnt/sdcard, is there a difference?
3) What is the difference between flashing via odin, or via CWM if any?
Thanks a bunch for tolerating yet another noob
Welcome to the Forums!. Im new here too but thies seems to be a great place to get information and help, as far as ive seen.
1.)Most Roms do come with CMW, unless the rom doesnt not include its own kernel.
2.)Both sdcard folders are the same, just different ways. Theres a couple folders in android that are like this.
3.)Odin is typically used as a fallback, because CMW can perfroam almost the same functions, except for completely reformatting.

Awesome thanks!
So am I right if I say that ROMs that have their own kernel include CWM because CWM comes in the kernel?

one more quick (noob ^.^) question, why is it that when I go to the cyanogen mod website the ROM is 7.2.0, but on droidstyle's guide the ROM is version 9.x.x? Why is the latest one not on the website when i go to the fascinate download page?

section 3 provides a link to cm7.2 gb(most likely an older version, will update soon)
section 4 provides a link to cm9 ICS
You are probably looking at stable/official builds. As far as I'm aware, cm still classifies ics as experimental and cm7 is the official version.
That said, ice is very much daily driver quality despite what cm says.

Oh yes I see now, I was looking in the stable downloads, while v9 is classified as experimental. Thanks for clearing that up
I'm new to flashing ROMs though I already rooted my S3 and have Mobile Odin installed.
Am I right in assuming that most ROMs ate better than the stock Android 4.0.4 firmware for the S3? If so, which is the best ROM that I should be flashing to my device?
A ROM is somewhat of a modified firmware that is based on the stock one, right?

You will notice this question has been asked 1000+ times before
And always results in the same answer
No-one can tell you what the best rom is as each individual has a different opinion or specific needs for a ROM
Are you looking for a Ice cream sandwich ROM (AKA ICS) latest official release for S3
Or a Jelly Bean ROM (AKA JB) Based on leaked S3 builds
I personally use Hypergalaxy 1.6 Jelly Bean ROM
All you can do is try a few ROM's an see which one works for you best
Here is a list Of all ROM's and kernals mods etc.

My experience with WanamLite is awesome. It's based off of latest XXLDI5 and is amazing.
BTW, you can get Galaxy Note 2's gallery and Camera app from Themes & Apps forum.

Thread closed, the only person who knows what you want in a rom is you, use them, try them, and make your own mind up.
Hello. I have Galaxy S3 (not carrier version, international), rooted. Now I want to install just clean Android 4.2 (with no bloatware, changes, etc).
1) Is it possible? Without installing stock or custom ROMS. Just clean Android 4.2
2) If I have to install custom ROMS anyway - which of them closer to clean Android 4.2 (without bloatware or modification). Which one to choose and where to get right instruction for newbies?
Thank you very much for helping me!

If you are talking about stock 4.2 check the development section, a few 4.2.2 roms out there as for instance SlimBean or Liquid, with other words you cannot get 4.2 direct from Google.
If you are talking about Samsung 4.2, there is only a leak at the moment in the general section's leak thread.
Can we please clarify something?
Stock means what the phone has as stock, i.e, out-of-the-box. Stock to the S3 is Samsung Touchwiz. AOSP would be Vanilla. It is stock on some phones, but not this one.
I think we need to make this distinction before we go on.
So what is it exactly that you want?
If it's as close to vanilla as you can get, Slimbean may be a good bet. It's unlikely you'll get anything without any changes.

hence I guess you mean AOSP, good that you confirmed.
the process of flashing is the same as with other roms and described e.g. in the SlimBean thread (only special thing is to flash the gapps package).
which one to choose is up to you, we don't know what you like . just try them and see for yourself. in my experience, Slim Bean & Liquid do not differ that much anyway.

Slimbean doesn't look like original Android 4.2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868691; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108013
Do you know ROMs that contains original Android 4.2 without any modifications? All of these ROMs look modified. What does 'aftermarket' means? What is the meaning for end user of Android Open Source Project?
P. S. Thank you for your patience! In fact I know nothing about custom ROMs, so I have a lot questions.

If by "look" you mean aesthetically, it looks identical to Vanilla 4.2 (from google, eg what Nexus phones have)

Almost all AOSP roms are modified. You will not find one that has 0% modification. The ones listed on this thread are the ones with the least modifications

In what context? Aftermarket generally means modified. Something not stock. Not how it was when it was sold.

AOSP is google's android open source project. Android is open source. When they create a new Android version (4.2.2) that is vanilla (like Nexus), they release the source code so developers (Hobbiests at XDA) or OEM's (Like Samsung and HTC) can compile the source code into a ROM for a device.
AOSP ROMs released by XDA developers etc, are all close in look at feel to Google's android releases on the Nexus devices.
OEM ROMs usually heavily modify this code to make it unique to them, therefore becoems a selling point for their brand
Now it's clearer. But which AOSP ROM to choose? Do they have rating? Which is more stable, bugfree and relaible? Do they have OTA update without necessity to wipe data (like Samsung stock one)?
For close to vanilla, try the recommendations given in this thread. We can't tell you which is "best" as its against forum rules. Everyone is different.
Some have OTA. Most don't. If you're going from rom x version 1 to rom x version 2, you shouldn't need to wipe.
If you're going from rom x to rom y, you will need to wipe

Which ones have OTA? If the ROM does not have OTA, how to update the firmware? Via ODIN, but without wiping data after update?
None of the simple ones have OTA.
OTA is predominantly a stock thing.
With custom roms (vanilla or stock) you download the rom, put it on sd card and flash via recovery.
Please read the roll up sticky thread in general

This is stock CyanogenMod with HALO 2.0. No other features have been added or removed.
This is a test build that I have not tested but should work. Enjoy

Seemed about as "Original" as the other "Original" ROMs. Even the not so "Original" ROMs. Confusing sometimes.
Sorry for the trouble. Perhaps the moderators can move this thread to the other section. Thanks.

Would love to try this ROM but I'm in CM10 hell. Installed official latest stable build. It removed my backups I had saved. Odin won't read my phone anymore. I'm forever stuck with cm10. Anyone have any advice on how I can get back to stock root? I can get into TWRP and CM10 that's about it.

You're definitely not stuck. Just download and install any of the stock ROMs in the forum. Or fix your computer and Odin back. Not hard at all. You could even mobile Odin to stock. Whatever you want.
