which ROM for my S3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I cant decide which ROM i should put on my phone? Can you guys help me?
Which ROM can you guys recommend?
What is the most normal ROM you people put into your phones?
I am sorry I am a biiiig noob, who had a Iphone i the past 4 years.. Everything is new for me..
Can I just put on a new ROM, whotout thinking of my firmware?
Thanks a lot guys..

There is no general "best" rom.u need to try them out yourselves.
But good roms is (themed roms)checkrom, turkbey rom,omega rom or (stock look) foxhound rom, dragonice rebirth rom..
Or try cyanogen mod 9,aokp,miui rom, that is aosp rom build from sources(Google's original)
all is flashed from cwm(clockworkmod) recovery.
download galaxy s3 toolkit to your PC then u get easy access to root, backup,cwm recovery and guide on how to flash rom to your phone..
but read, read and read.. especially the OP on every rom u want to try..
good luck and have fun..

full charge icon and ongoing message
Hi,
Can anyone help me how to disable 100% full charge notification that anoy me very much. I have my phone all day in a desktop charger and I want to get rid of this.
Thanks

Unless you flash an aosp Rom like Cyanogenmod or miui there is not much different between them. Maybe a theme change but performance and functionality is pretty much identical amongst the touch wiz based roms.
Try a few and you'll see what I mean.

It doesnt matter because no matter which u choose. There will always be another which looks better and tempts you.
Id suggest supporting cyanogenmod

[Q] Exynos, Turkbey Rom or something else?

So I just bricked my arc, (I will never again stray from XDA) might go out and buy an SGSII.
Which custom rom should I install from the brief looks I have had, I really like the Astetics of Turkbay it looks beautiful. Exynos seems to be where the functionality is at.
Advice Please
Michael

If you read the faqs for each rom you can decide what you want .
Otherwise stick with stock .

CheckROM is simply fantastic... Stable,smooth and customizable...

Flash whatever you like. Your asking such a general question you'll get fans of each rom saying flash this flash that.
Take your pick, try it out, if you don't like it move on.

first you can check the screen shoot of each rom then compare the feature of each one... and go on to install what you like.... after test you can decide to change or stay.

was using exynos before going to checkrom, very happy with the change
I was using MIUI for it looks, but I lost all the functionality and I wanted to come back to stock rom but it sucks. So i found three roms i want to test out.
Hydroxygen by Paradoxxx
WickedRom by Chetan Mohanty
The GingerMod by 89luca89
WickedRom is stock with a lot of changes and upgrades
Hydroxygen is AOSP. Very fast, used with void .echo kernel and its simply the best.
The GingerMod looks very nice as I want an AOSP interface with samsung framework
Trying WickedRom and I'm pretty happy!

Which ROM to choose

Im brand new to this ROM flashing stuff but i have worked with computers for years so im comfortable flashing the phone etc.
My questions are how do you choose what ROM to flash and how do you know it will work?
My phone is running i9300BVALF4 stock ROM but all the custom ROMS's i can see are not a slightly earlier build than mine, will it still work ok?
You read the rom description and decide.
Your current firmware is not relevant .
I9300. Takes any I9300 rom .

Choose omega rom v13
It's a modded stock rom so all the features are working and there aren't many bugs
When you click on a thread it usually has a not working list and browsing through the last few pages gives one an idea of how the people are finding it

For me,I won't hesitate a moment to choose mike1986 ROM
I pay more attention to speed and stability of my phone.mike rom is so smooth and stable that even beyond my expect.And I also care about battery

It was a close call, but he hasn't asked "what is the best Rom?" ....instead he sneakily asked "how do I chose the best Rom?"
This is a new development in assault tactics and the sniper committee is pondering the matter before taking to arms.
Itchy the trigger finger.

So firmware doesn't matter at all when flashing ROMs on the S3?

No, a firmware is just a stock Rom with stupid carrier apps and games baked in. Best thing is to root, do a nandroid backup of your stock firmware, then get happy flashing. Just read the threads and stick to Samsung based Roms until you are comfortable with what you are doing, it's a learning curve,, but a worthwhile one, another tip....explore the forum, look at the stickies, observe, listen and learn....and don't rush into anything....enjoy

Help me with Custom ROM

Hello guys ! I want to install a Custom ROM on my S2 and I don't know what Custom ROM. I only want to improve my performance. I have Android ICS 4.0.3. Please help me with advices.
P.S. I want to improve my performance.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No one can tell you what's the best custom ROM for you, because we experience ROM diffrently.
How about a little custom ROM thread reading? and how about flash them all and see what ROM fits your needs?

What I did initially was sort threads based on views and or posts. Good indicator of what seems to bed popular while being able to read up on others positive or negative experiences.
What works for 20 others may not work for you as our phones are all different.

Pure Google on Galaxy S2 4.1.2

Recently google released 4.1.2 for the S2 it installs like a charm.
But here is my problem with it, it comes with touch wiz skin.is there a way to install the stock Android that came without the touch wiz?
Without launchers or third party roms.

Google did not release 4.1.2 for the S2, Samsung did.
If you're looking for a stock Android experience then it's a custom ROM in afraid.

Read the rules, I can recommend any ROM because I'm not you, so my choice might not be as good as you'd wish.
Read, try and choose.

If you want stock google experiance search for AOSP based ROMs. They give the best stock experiance.
Thanks very much for your help.

I can understand your feeling friend but recommending Rom is a big no no here. No one would do it. Everyone has his own preferences. The Rom I like can't be someone else's favorite. Everyone here has tried many Rom before settling with any one Rom. That too only for few days. There are so many good Rom you would love to try YOURSELF. Read the changelogs. See the screenshots. Then decide what to try. Best of luck. Ask any further doubt you have.
One more thing. Don't say thanks. Press THANKS button on the left.

Look at the Index Of Roms at the stickies, there you can find all the roms sorted by their base (Samsung based for example). And follow the answers the one above me gave

[Q] Best Rom

Hello, I have just rooted my SamsungS3 and I wanted some help.
I want you to say me your opinion about which ROM you think is the best for battery life and also with which kernel should I use it to get best of my battery ?
Thank you in advance
try using ARHD with perseus Kernel...
there's nothing best or bad buddy. all depends on your own opinion. anyways it is against the rules of XDA to ask such questions.

People get bent out of shape when these questions are posted (I dunno why they are only opinions) I have a Note 2 and have probably flashed 12 different roms, all good but for a Sammy base I like ptmr3's Jedi Roms (I am currently running Jedi Master), for Open Source 4.2.2 roms, I love Jellybam, which was banned by xda and has to be downloaded from Bam Android (devs site).

We do not encourage best rom thread here in XDA.
You need to choose what rom to use.
1st, base your rom choice from feedbacks of other members.
Try all roms if you want.
Then, choose which of the roms is working best for you.
Happy hunting and enjoy flashing

Maybe if it was worded "recommended rom" it would sound better. I honestly went your suggested route and was a flashoholic for months until I found the few I liked best.
