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.

too much Im just asking for some names dude, I will read them then... just to cut down the options available, so less work...
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

I'm browsing though the forums and flicking through all the different types of ROM's.
I'm not exactly and expert on all this stuff, so I was just wondering what ROM's you guys use and why?
Thanks in Advance.

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...

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 .

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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

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.

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

Hi I'm just wondering about which custom ROM I should use.I'm interested in a ROM with no lag,very good battery life and is either ICS or JB.
Thanx
There is no such rom yet for ICS or JB.
If you want good battery and no lag you should absolutelly flash popdog's Oxygen rom.
Or you can try gingersnap by neko.

As _viren_ said, there is no perfect ROM. You'll have to try the ROMs to find what's suitable for you. There are ROMs based on stock LG firmware, on AOSP, CM 7/9/10, ROMs based on other ROMs. Take your pick. If you like one, stick with it.
Or, as we all like to do, go on a flashing spree just for the heck of it.

I think you have to read the corresponding ROM threads deeply, then be confident to check some ROMs on your phone by yourself.
Every user has different needs. So the best for the one might not be the best for the other.
P.S.: And be careful with your question for the best ROM => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612881
Ok as I mentioned before I had flash and use many roms

It's all subjective.. Every single person has a different opinion.
And he's not being "hard", he's pointing out the rules for you, since you obviously didn't read them before you posted

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.
