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

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

Wow. This post is silly.
Saying not to try custom roms, then posts a link to a post that says you must try custom roms. :/
Anyways, I'm using CM9 Nightlies, all going well.
I'm a newbie ROOTer and I suggest you try it out, the benefits wayy outway the risks and trying something new is always fun.

I've tried most of the aokp/cm9 roms now as well as some aosp and stock roms. I'm currently running omega 3.0 aokp and a secondary omega v13.....I've found theses to be the most reliable..smooth and bug free.besides what people will say are the "best" roms..,, you need to flash and try some out., as they all vary to peoples personal preference.just make sure to follow install guides to the tee...

I think most roms are pretty stable for gs3. I have used stock but now sticking to foxhound 1.4.2. Pretty amazing rom and stable with good battery, not upgrading to the latest until jellybean version is proven to be stable.

Hi all,
Have a question re rom in galaxy s3 (uk).
My girlfriend has been using it for a while now and there are some issues like disconnecting with wifi and drains battery realy fast, to save juice wifi needs to be off and phone put in save battery mode and you have to do that each time you put away ur phone...
I have android tablet with custom ram from team EOS and the device is much more better that before (faster! No adds! With different cpu usage profiles to save battery! ...) so my question is what ram would you recommend for galaxy3 ?
Thanks!
Good Luck!
Android 4.3 (pizza sandwich) is the best
JJEgan will show you the link

Oh boy he fell for it.
Anyways, if you dont have time, look for roms with most views and replies for starters
I would also like to remind you, that OMG I WANT DUH BEST ROMZ threads are not allowed and end up closed
The fact that you don't have time to do any research won't change XDA rules, and it should be a warning to your friends that if you don't have time to do the research you won't have the time to sort out the problems you will inevitably encounter when you mess up

There is no best absolute Rom that's why those threads are forbidden, to avoid countless trolls and fan battles. You must determine if you want Sammy or not Sammy based Rom, and then pick up one considering the description in op.
use Omega 33.3 Rom if you want a touchwiz based rom. Its tweaked for performance and very stable with the latest additions of Android 4.2 and Note II features..
For a pure Nexus feel use Cyanogenmod 10
For modified Nexus Feels ParanoidAndroid
These three are my favorites

Hey every1
so I wanted to fix a SGS3 of a friend of mine who isn't so much into modding. His phone lags like hell, keyboard and calls, just everything. I'm personally on a GNEX and couldnt stay one minute with a phone in this condition.
Well i thought about Supercharge his phone, maybe also changing the Kernel before, but leave the rest stock... but maybe it wont be enough and I'll have to flash him a ROM.
Now I ain't got a SGS3 to flash me trough all kind of ROMs in order to see for myself what works and what not.
So what I'm asking for are some recommendations. The ROMs for SGS3 are all different then then these on GNEX...
There are many and i want to reduce my options to lets say 3-4 ROMs and some kernels...
Anyone?
Thanks
This is so gonna turn into a best ROM/Kernel thread...

Well.... i dont search for the best ROM since its very individual. I search for one that is near to stock and stable. My friend won't need any customization...
Then try what's available. Read the different rom descriptions.

On my personal opinion, I'll suggest CheckROM.
I've used it as a daily all round rom juiced with latest siyah kernel.
No lags and no un necessary batterydrain.
Sorry for my bad english, as this is my first post to englis only forum in ages

AW: Help with custom rom amd cm10
All cm10 based Roms do inherit their bugs.
The more extra features the rom has, the more extra bugs you will probably have.
Same goes for TW.

I thought about it at first, but no. OP does not want camera bugs to be present, so it's clear all aosp roms are out of the question. Now it's on him to try out various TW-based roms, with which we will not help.

Quite frankly, this type of post above and "first" posts are the bane of my existence. They are about as useless as all the other spam out there, so I usually delete them on sight.
***************
@OP, I suggest you go into the Dev section and read a little. Pick out a few ROMs that look interesting to you. Then read the last 10 pages or so of each. Narrow it down to 1 or 2 that you like and read the OPs. Find one that you want to go with, then sit down, get a cold drink and start reading.
Make a Nandroid before you flash anything so that your next thread isn't "Help!! I bricked my phone".
