So I have ICS installed (released a couple days ago) but the bloatware and touchwiz make it hard to use without frustrations. I've been using checkrom before this. Is there or will there be a clean ICS release soon? How long does it take for pro devs to build one? Thanks

There's quite a few if u look in the android dev section.
Just look at cm9, aokp, slimics, and other aosp roms...

I can't seem to find anything based on the latest official rom released on March the 13th... Aren't the others based on unstable/beta ICS roms?
Might take a bit longer than three whole days for Devs to build a rom might even wait for a better release .

Very stable

Best thing I did was to just Root from Stock ICS ver.LPQ, remove bloatware with Titanium and then installed Apex Launcher form the Android Market....er I mean Google Play Shop.
Looks good enough to me.
Hi guys,
I'm new in the Samsung scene, I've Always used HTC phones before. My question is not how to flash (i'll first search for it myself), but if anyone could recommend me a rom with the look and feel of the SGS3 software.
I've searched but couldn't find anything i think works 99%.
thx

Try Resurrection remix 2.6.1. Based on ICS and stable as a rock. I'm pretty new myself and been using it for a while.Easy to install and no issues whatsoever. :good:
First of all, are you sure you have an i9100 and not an i9100G, a skyrocket (AT&T or Rogers), a Galaxy S2 LTE HD, etc?
If you do have an i9100, this is the forum for you. If not, try and find your right forum...
I'd look in the SGS2 android dev forums and not the Original Android Dev forums. Alot of cooks have ROMs with SGS3-like themes... And there's possibly a touchwiz5 mod in the themes section. I know the ripple lockscreen was ported too...
To be honest, alot of ROMs exist but it's a question of taste... I know Resurrection remix is a popular one. Alot of people switched to Cyanogenmod when ICS hit though, as ICS wasn't up to par for Samsung's implementation...
Your best bet is to flash a custom kernel with CWM recovery in Odin (Alot of guides to do this) like CF-Root and then grab ROMs and flash them through CWM. If you want a kernel that's able to dual boot, you can use DreamKernel, Siyah, etc. That way you can get one ROM going and test a second ROM as a secondary. Dual booting can be achieved because we have a 500MB partition on our phones that isn't used for anything... Fun, is it not?
And The other rom is pfittech ics rom and is also stable and he is working on stable jb rom as among other devs

wow guys really thanks!!! I'm really happy to get so much information! I can do everything myself now thank you a lot :')
I think i'll wait untill a port of the new JB update for the S3 gets ported
I've always used Slim ICS, very light weight and customizable.

I'd go with rootbox. Just because the dev updates more frequently does not mean it's a better rom. The ones who don't update frequently just mean they don't have bugs to fix...

Yes, try OptiMax2 with sirkays kernel (im on vdsirotkin kernel, battery is more important to me)
Very fast (4300 antutu benchmark 1.4 ghz overclocked), very stable and stylish.

I need mine working 100% these days as I use it for work - I just went for stock .587, rooted and ripped all the bloatware out, and it's ready to go 100% stable. Not exactly adventurous... but it works really nicely.
Sure, latest stock is well polished and stable.
But Sony doesnt have reason to give us maximum in midrange phones (in their firmwares).
Developers have reasons to do that.
Thats why we have plenty of roms better than stock.
OptiMax is a good ICS rom. Its a fight between that and Jellysandwich
Jelly bean roms are pretty damn good too. Pacman(for a bit extra custom) or CM10
I would definently go with CM10.
After experiencing CM10, when you go on GB and ICS roms you will just feel like something is missing. I can't describe it but there's something.
And without doubt CM10 gives the smoothest and most user friendly experience.
Also to all you PAC fans out there, I did try all of the ROMs since v13 (inc. v17), but they are just never provided the same as CM10 did to me.
But choose for yourself if you have time. Try CM10, Forsaken's GB ROM, OptiMax, PAC, AOKP, JellySandwich, Ultimate HD (in that order)

Though PAC has CM10 built into it. But I am kinda with you on that one. It just doesn't seem as smooth as CM10 alone.
FXP CM10

If you are a gamer (like me) I don't really recommend ICS or Jelly Bean Roms. There are many apps and games that are incompatible. I haven't tested a Jelly Bean rom but I think CM10 is under development, I already tried CM9 and I have to say the UI is very nice, but I had problems with many games and apps and I don't have this problem with CM7 (Gingerbread). So I think CM 7.2 is the best Rom right now, but that's my opinion, haven't tried other roms, only CyanogenMod, but is really good.
Why is everyone recommending CM10?
Maybe i am doing something wrong, but for me it is sluggish like hell 3 out of 10 times i am using my phone. Unlocking, using the launcher, using the settings...
It seems to stable, but that alone does not win the game.
Stable + snappy: nxt bread (odexed version) and fosakengb.
Both are stock based GB ROMs and i only miss some convenience functions, like accessing the notification bar from the lockscreen.
If you ever used an iPhone or Windows Phone, it seems GB is the way to go. ICS and JB ROMs are just not there, when it comes to user experience. But they are feature rich.
Re. ICS & JellyBean.. Well, the ROM I'm currently using is Iced Bean - I seriously disliked all ICS ROMS till I found this one! The most elegant, snappy and stable ICS ROM I've used so far!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911165
For Gingerbread I'd recommend JellyBread - hands-down my favourite GB ROM. Fast and pretty & lean and mean!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834106
PS Both of these ROMS will also work on loocked bootloaders. :good:
Thanks Everyone!
So i think CM10 have more fans.
ok, I'll go for it. They're showing 2 days left for a new release, so i'll wait for it
And can anyone help me for a Question? On Cyanogenmod's website, I went to see the Project status and saw "ST18(i/a) - Ray - urushi - CM9 done / CM10 done"
Does that mean everything is working on CM10? everything?
definitely try P.A.C rom . For me the best JB ROM for RAY :good:

After trying several ICS roms I've gone back to GB. I found that the ray just doesn't have the specs to run ICS as it should be. For a simple fast GB rom I'd suggest trying 4pda.ru stock repack rom with Aires kernal. It's a no nonsense rom so you can add the mods yet want. And you get the stability of stock.

Try JB rom for RAY and you never gonna back to GB or ICS ...
I don't even get how people can recommend CM10 when P.A.C. is basically the same, but without all the "non-working" stuff. I usually love CM and nothing would have been possible on JB roms without them, but clearly at this point PAC is completely far ahead, meanwhile including all the CM engine and rom modifications as well as OAKP.

No one can recommend roms... Everyone has their own taste and different needs... It's good you tried a lot of roms but in the end its what you feel about the Rom that matters not others recommendations...

I've tried many ICS based JB roms and let me say that since Super JellyBean 5.5 was released it is by far the smoothest and the fastest. I also tried Legacy Xperia CM recently and it seemed quite fast and smooth but I couldn't get the Wifi working. Maybe you'll have a better luck.
For some reason I am only limited to non-AROMA based roms (All of them eventually bootloop on my phone)
And let me pay my respects to the Developer of Super JB. Be very careful with improving it.
Sent from my Xperia Neo using xda app-developers app
since you try a lot rom already you probably know which rom suited your need
all roms are great and they have their ups and downs
CM7.2, X-GAMER and Codename are great GB rom
CM9, Ultimate HD, and Ice Cream Pureness are great ICS rom
CM10, Super Jelly Bean and Racing Bean are great JB rom
other roms are great too. i only listed the ones i have tried.
there are a lot more great roms out there left for you to discover.
I would also recommend CM10.1 from LegacyXperia project. Latest builds are very stable and brings you JB 4.2.2 with 3.4 kernel.
Try to use zelly cream by gagan HD stable and option of gaming and battery life both

I think the best ROMs are GB and ICS.
I'm not talking about CyanogenMod or any based on this...
GB & ICS got well working camera.
I like JB, but SONY won't release source of libraries, so you are able to use only 480p. :<
I'm Using Legacy Xperia is super stable, one reboot in two weeks if you use the app Greenify becomes perfect.

I've tried with a LOT of Roms and I Stay in CM10 Based, CM10.1 and CM10.2 dont have a good battery life and I wait for 1st Build of CM11 to test!
listen up. i use Gin2jellybean for more that 3 months. i stable and very light. only 100-110 mb ram is used and you have alot of free. i reccomend you to flash 2.5.2 version. first install 2.4.0 and patch with 2.5.2. use stock kernels if you wand best battery. if u need gaming perfomance use night elef 10.1 LITE. in my opinion is better for all other versions. You will not regert for this roms
i only recommend kitkat maybe it is in alpha stage ... I'm stunned by seeing the performance of kitkat, seeing the same performance as gingerbread with all brand new features .. long live xperia 2011
in GB you can use...anything
and in JB 4.1.2 & 4.2.x you can use PAC-man the famous AIO rom.....
you will be amazed...
In my opinion, the best ROM is GB, it is the best for gaming, battery life and stability.
ICS is the worst ROM ever.
JB Rom is very good but unfortunately not stable yet.
The Developers now are working on KitKat 4.4.1 which is in the Alpha 2 phase but I expect It is going to be the best when they reach the stable version.
For nice rom and for 100% stable running get GB rom, try Gin2JellyBean, the new version is 3.0.0 witch is Gin2KitKat. its GB rom themed as kitkat.
if you want latest kitkat alpha build 2, get if from my signature.
its alpha, so expect bug here and there. no fm radio, no hd videos recording, no hdmi, camera pictures are worse than any stock rom.
but then, its kitkat 4.4.1 soom in few days there will be 4.4.2 also.

jellybean cm10 works fine
