searching a slim and rooted TW rom - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my GF just bought herself an open international s3. i flashed her AOKP but the camera and the battery performance is not good enough for her. The TW roms on XDA are just too much for me - everything is so bloated and heavily skinned. i just want a zip with the latest 4.1.2 TW rom with little optimation + root.
anyone with a good tip?

Overall -cm. For me battery life lasted longer in cm than stock. And obviously features add to it.

CM Permission management is the biggest selling point, I love the fact that is integrated and no need to install extra apps or modify apks, plus the 640*480 video recording, last time I checked stock only lets you record video at 320*480, then of course the pletora of additional features and the coolness level
nice idea to make a poll like this
Definitely cm!

my opinion
CM!
Why? (This is just my opinion, i don't wanna pi** anybody off with this.)
Stock has some samsung-only apps like "AllShare" etc. but i dont care about these.
And it has its own contacts browser which supports quick call/sms by swiping over the contact. i really love that feature, but the pros of cm are alot more:
- its looks better (menu effects from ics etc.)
- it has awesome customization options
- it has the theme chooser <3
- and the most important thing: it defo runs faster/better!
i prefer stock based roms

i love cm but can`t install in my galaxy pro,no custom flash recovery anywhere
Stock with CF-Root b84.
it seems cm is more desired than stock ...still what's the upside for stock?
CM7 More speed and better Performance and better Settings
i wait for CM9 Beta
(Custom) Stock. Full stability and more comfortable for daily usage.

stock FTW
for me its modified stock... Ive tried loads of roms and so far omega rocks my world and my phone....
there's some kind of magic when you revert from CM to stock... you know... all working as they should, you have the assurance that your phone won't give up on you. The thing is though after a few minutes on stock and having tried CM you miss lots of things which I can't be bothered to mention now.
So CM for me!
yea...once i use cm and tried back to stock ( based rom) it feels rather odd ...and limited =(

Looking for fully functioning rom suggestions plz

Hoping to find a rom that will get rid of all bloatware yet still have full function of device ie. Front and back cam. (I skype fam alot) i really like the cm mod and akop but not having cam hurts.
Im using a tmous samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and just reverted back to stock 
Any suggestions would be greatly accepted and tried thank you!

well, if you want FFC as well, you'll need a touchwiz based rom, So, if you want HC, I recommend Galaxy Task 14. If you want ICS, you need either official ICS or task650s ICS "The Beginning". Any CM or AOSP based ROM won't have a working front facing camera.
I using Toldo's JellyBeanRom ICS v5. I think it's the best rom I have ever used on my tab. Everything works quite well.
If you do install it and run into problems, read through the rom's forum as there area couple of fixes to implement in order to prevent freezing screen and extending the battery. After the simple fixes I am happy to stick with this rom permanently.

i9300 not at all smooth? :/

Good morning.
Ive been using my i9300 for about two months now. Im a former iPhone 4 user. I have noticed that the i9300 despite the fact that it has quad-core and 1GB RAM, is not at all smooth :/ I always get lag in the Homescreen and in the settings etc etc. I've tried like 20 ROMS or so :/ am i doing something wrong here? E.g. scrolling between homepages can get laggy! That wasnt supposed to happen right?\
Im currently at MIUI 2.9.14 ROM. Maybe im doing something wrong when i flash a new ROM?
What are the steps?
I delete the whole internalSD, i perform a data/factory reset via CWM, i delete cache and Dalvik Cache. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

The rom you are on has problem of memory leak.
Just use a samsung-based rom. Your trouble will be fixed.

Yeah try that combo. Wanam or Omega Jelly Bean XXDLI8 leaks are very smooth.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
there are plenty of custom roms out there,
most of the JB leaks are much smoother than the ICS roms i have been using.( i am sure there are ICs roms that are smooth as well , just that i have not tested before. )
currently on Omega v23 and happy with it, no lags. you may just have to spend some time experimenting which one is to your preference.
Sir, I suggest you try out Omega ROM (ICS or JB) doesn't really matter, cause Omega is really really stable. I'm not prompting whatsoever because I'm on MIUI 2.9.14 too with hardcore speed mod kernel and it is perfectly great.
One advice, try not flashing so many ROMs at one go because it might cause system error such as connectivity to wifi or packet data. Stick to one you really like.
Edit: Do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware on PC Odin and root again to remove any bad 'history' and the lag too.
Hope I did manage to help!
Great day

If you want a rapid ICS rom then use Foxhound 1.4.3, it is quite simply the best ICS rom there is, and believe me i've tried them all.
Couple it with Galaxsih kernel @normal and apex launcher not much comes close to it.
As for Jelly bean, take your pick but just know that there are no final builds as of yet and all of them are leaks, meaning that kernel support is limited.
Thanks everyone ive never flashed back to stock before i used custom rom and i think that May be it like one of you suggested. About that miui rom and hardcore speed mod. It works on any MIUI rom or only on specific ones? If it does work on every miui where can i find it? I really like miui

You are welcome mate hmm what do you mean?? I'm using hardcore speed mod on my MIUI rom and I don't experience any lag (Provided you use apex launcher PRO too) I even have great battery life (8 hrs of hardcore using; with wifi or packet data On). You can definitely flash speedmod on your MIUI 2.9.14 and you will know what I mean.
Omega ICS on the other hand, is really stable and having that 'stock-ish' feel. But on MIUI, you know we rule the game.
Edit: If you wanna try out Omega, do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware (It will unroot device) then root again then try out Omega. It is really your decision.
But again, you know who rule the game with MIUI. Haha.
Great day ahead.

i am also experiencing lag on my s3 i'm on wanamlite 3.3
To get rid of the memory leak, go to ES Explorer, give it root and write permissions (in its options), then go to system/bin/ and delete kiesexe. You won't be able to use Kies anymore, but it'll kill the leak because it's caused by that process.
you should use the stock TW without scrolling wallpaper mod =p
I just prefer you to flash DLI18 stock JB from sammobile, wipe everything before flash, and I would prefer you to change animation scale and duration scale from 1 to 0.5,

Just a suggestion.... If you really like MIUI, but want a smoother and more stable ROM, why don't you flash the latest CM10 build, and then install MiHome Launcher? MiHome Launcher is the default launcher used in MIUI and it comes with an optional MIUI lockscreen as well. Once both are installed, it's virtually indistinguishable from a full MIUI ROM. Plus, it'll have the speed and smoothness of Jelly Bean with the stability of CyanogenMod (or as stable as a pre-release build can be).
Anyway, it was just a thought. Good luck to ya'!

But i find it really annoying that HTC ONE X users have smoother ROMS than me Their stock is smoother than any Custom Rom ive used.. wtf exynos? Im really thinkin of selling my phone!

[REQUEST] Samsung Stock Apps (Paper Artist,SNote,SPlanner etc.)

Hey can someone upload all of the stock apps (aka bloatware)? i am on custom rom and i really love them!Would be verry pleased if someone uploads them.
on which rom are u?? tw based or aosp/aokp??
+1 from me
it'd be good if someone could get the S Planner from Android 4.1.1 as that's the one where you can draw on your calendar and keep it as a standard view by locking it. This was removed in the latest updates...
Well.i could be unterested too. I'm on Miui last version (3.5.31) android 4.1.1

[Q] Stock camera vs. Custom ROM camera

I just recently got my SII and im fairly new to flashing roms. I rhad SUpernexus for a week or so and one thing that i noticed is that the camera on that rom is not on par with the stock camera of s2 jb 4.1.2. is this issue the same for all roms/stock roms? Are stock rom cameras always better than custom roms? I know there are a lot of market camera apps but i think all they do is enhance your picture using effects. It doesn't improve your picture clarity, reduce noise, etc. like the stock rom camera. That's the reason I'm sticking with stock rom despite the awful appearance of touchwiz. I usually do low light shots indoors but custom roms perform so bad on low light, sometimes in daylight also.
The camera is due to Samsung not releasing source code I think. If you want stock camera but hate touch wiz try chameleon rom

Not only is it comparable, but it is exactly the same. The camera is the actual Sammy camera as the ROM is based on the stock framework. Try the ROM, its fantastic :good:

Battery life is the same as stock, but its heavily varied according to what apps you use, if you have sync on, wifi, data etc etc. It *should* be a bit better (but we are talking marginal, if not fractions) as the ROM does not include the bloat that completely stock Samsung ones do (like Samsung maps services, hubs etc)
It all comes down to kernel really, I use Apolo 4.7 and while I only see 3hrs screen on time and almost 2 days standby until flat, It is pretty good for me! Edit: with WiFi and sync always on
Stock PhilZ is also great, clean and smooth!

Wow great. 3 hours screen time with heavy use like games or just texting? Hey can you suggest a good kernel. Is siyah of any good or the stock kernel is already good paired with the chameleon?
