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.

yes, but its awesome, and you just lose 3g capability i believe.
also, in the future, you need to put all questions in the Q&A section.
Loosing 3g capabilities is a big loss..
Regarding your comment about questions being posted in the Q&A forum, I think this question has to do with the content of this post, so I don't see the need to such a remark...

for the 3G version, Overcome's 2.1.1 is still the benchmark rom, couple of others are now available (such as Bindroid and Ganbarou) and do not appear to have any issues either, so its all personal prefernece and what appearance you want to have.
Overcome, Bindroid and Ganbarou roms all work with Pershoot's kernel if you want to OC -- otherwise there is just the stock kernel.
Latest base firmware KK# running Honeycomb 3.2 appears to be robust and a good firmware from which the custom roms are built.
Hi,
I really want to get pure ics on my galaxy s II. Currently i'm on 2.3.4 gingerbread, unrooted.
I have asked a few questions about how to root my phone, and found a pretty straight forward tutorial, that users on xda have said is great to follow:
jayceooi.com/2011/08/04/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-with-cf-root-video
Rooting the phone appears to be pretty straight forward using the above tutorial, but finding the correct rom is what im not so sure about.
Users on xda have told me to use:
forum.xda developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 , to find a rom, specifically the ones just above ++++++ [Frankenstein Firmwares] +++++++
The only problem is, how do i know which one to use, i gather its going to be the 4.0.3 roms, but there are so many varients for different countries, which one is for me?
Does it matter which one i choose? Is there differences between them?
*I have previously posted this thread elsewhere, and members have told me to resubmit it here, as I may get more help. I couple of forumers have mentioned that I should use the xwlp4 ROM as it is the latest ICS ROM.
Thanks,
By pure ics do you mean ics without touchwiz etc or do you mean a stock Samsung rom?
The Frankenstein ones on intratechs thread are Samsung based.
If you want pure ics without any of the Samsung bloat cm9 is a great option and is already 4.04
If you want Samsung based then the latest is lp4 I think.

If this is the case forget all the ROMS in Intratechs section, even the Frankenstein ones as they are all samsung originals with all the samsung apps and touchwiz.
If you are looking for a root / pure ICS option CM9 is a good start with terrific dev support. I've been using it for a while now and it really is rock solid and keeps improving.

ok cool, would that be the equivalent of something like this:
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ro-ics-rom-v-1-1-on-galaxy-s2-i9100-best-rom/
Not used that one myself but looks to be closer to the pure ics you are after.
I'd still give cm9 a try. There is a resurrection edition flashable through Odin.
Definitely preferable to the Samsung official ones!

I currently use this ROM. It has Apex Launcher so no Touchwiz, but it does have Samsung apps.
Although I'm no fan of TW or any of these apps, the ROM itself is great.
Go for HyDrOG3N-ICS with Siyah Kernel Best rom and kernel combo you're going to find out there for PURE ICS and lots of customization. It's stable, fast and really good battery life.
Hello guys,
It's been a month since I'm using Official ICS ROM of Taiwan/Singapore, I9100ZSLPG TGY...
It gives me a good battery time from different ICS ROMs like Britain's and Polish's...
Well my question is which ICS ROM are you using and how stable and great it is? Also please tell me about the battery timing which is important as I'm looking to flash again to a different Official ICS ROM...
And please no suggestions about Custom ROMs.
Thank You.
if you are happy nothing to update really. just stick to it.
once 4.04 comes out flash that.
if your still icthing to change try new LPD ROM, but as iv said you wont feel any difference

I think you should try the XWLPD firmware posted on Intratech's thread. People have been saying that its battery life is the best so far. I have only just flashed it a few hours ago so I can't comment much but here is a detailed result done by a reliable XDA member.

Is your model GT-I9100? Shouldn't be a problem. I have been using the Netherlands ROMs in Australia..
Or if you use a GT-I9100M then there's this thread for you.
GTI9100M and GTI9100 are the same phones, just the M is carrier branded to a few Canadian providers.
Does XWLPD provide stock ICS experience/look? The Canadian official ICS ROM we have looks too much like Gingerbread

If you want the ICS experience try either Nova or Apex Launchers. All Samsung ICS ROMs will look the same, mainly with the TouchWiz which I believe Samsung did not want to deviate much as it sets them apart from other manufacturers' skins.
We get a lot of these threads, several per day actually..
Please just try the ROMs and then figure out which one you like.

Which roms for i777 are android 4.0.4 ?
I am having problem with ICS roms freeze and reboot when connected for about 15 ~ 20 min to Sony cat stereo via bluetooth.
Found out that there are several other people having same problem on i9100 and apparently only 4.0.3 based roms are causing problem. Fixed by installing 4.0.4 rom.
Now, I'm trying to find rom for i777 with android 4.0.4, but I only see "F1 GalaxyNexus Pure Galaxy Experience." I am having hard time installing it because it gives me error.
Are they any other rom with 4.0.4 ?
Otherwise, I will have to go back to gingerbread.

Tried FoxHound and AOKP.

Going back to Gingerbread for now. Wasted too much time on trying to make ICS work.
Let me know if there is any android 4.0.4 with close to stock feel. (TouchWiz)

I don't remember or know for sure which TW-based ROM with ICS 4.04, search in the dev. section. If don't like them all, there should be an easy way to update the AT&T official ICS 4.0.4 ROM. All you have to do is flashing/re-flashing the stock ROM 4 times.
Note: you must perform it right at 4:04 for it to work though.

Ah I see.
I have settled with AOKP with APEX Launcher for now.
I still like TouchWiz better. It does lack advanced features of AOKP, but then I don't really need advanced features.
Hope official 4.0.4 comes out soon. (Unlikely, but one can hope..)

Well, I think there's a way in which we can eventually get a 4.0.4 sammy based rom on our i777.
See, if you go thru latest news on i9100's forum , you'll see that official 4.0.4 has been released for them.. so if we get a custom kernel (maybe siyah or Neak) that can support 4.0.4 for our phone.. then one can easily hailraise the i9100 4.0.4 based rom without much hustle...
but, it'd take few more days for this as custom roms based on 4.0.4 for i9100 are also not out yet.. nor many supported kernels.. but it definately would...
Hope this helps !!!
