What is the best custom ROM for i9300? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a custom 4.4 Kitkat custom ROM which is stable, bug free and fast since that the stock 4.3 from samsung eats a lot of ram which is insane. I hate samsung's useless bloatwares.
Any suggestions people? It would be much better if you've tried the ROM already. I need your answer based on your experience. Thanks in advance

Best rom what rom posts are not allowed .
You could read the identical what is the best rom post today or yesterday or the day before .

We already know that there is no "BEST ROM", but I'm gonna read it as "recommend me a good rom"!.
Quick and fast: NONE.
Anything over 4.1.2 is laggy and slow. May be better or worse, but nothing does in performance and battery like a good stock-based 4.1.2 ROM.
Also CM roms have (or had) worse gpu performance than stock roms.
I have tried a lot of roms, either stock and CM/Omni based, and I finally kept with Imperium 13.6, located there:

Again, it's just my opinion,

[Q] Not looking for the best ROM, just a very stable one

Here's my problem: All the ROM threads are about the latest and the greatest, and that's not what I want.
I want a very reliable ROM that will get the job done with no fuss.
Is Cyanogen stable for the 9100 my best option? Or am I missing something?
Again, I don't care about it being the "latest" or "best" or any specific features. I want rock-solid, absolute stability. Advice?
You should try S3Mods with theme packs ...it one of the stable roms

Try the Omega Rom. Good performance, not the best battery but very stable.
Not overclockable but has the official JB 4.1.2.

Seconded, Omega rom is one of the best JB roms.
Surely for stability he shouldn't use a jelly bean leak and just go for a Samsung ics rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686. Try one from here the dev is amazing.

Whether you want the "best" or "most stable" this is a completely subjective and opinionated topic and its for this reason its not allowed as it just leads to a ****-load of duplicate topics like this one is.
If you want to know the most "stable" then go and read one of the other stable topics or try roms for yourself.
Fair enough, I accept your point. Feel free to delete this thread if you're a mod. (I'd delete it myself, but I'm not sure how.)

Remember guys, ROMs/kernels etc are all subjective so there really is no "best ROM" only ROMs that work best for you

[Q] New JB (4.1.2/4.2.2) ROM?

Well, after a while (too much time) with dual boot ICS ROMs - Stock 4.0.3 LPG & PFittech ROM 4.0.4 (with siyah kernel), I kinda lost with all the new ROMs, all looks the same but one have options that other haven't and vice versa....
First I wanna know if there is any stable JB ROM (AOKP, not intresting in Stock)?
The 4.2.2 ROMs are stable enough? what the main problems this ROMs have?
I made a pool, just to know a little bit more about the statistic (if someone will cooperate ) of how many users using each ROM, also can post here and share recommands...I want to flash a new ROM and hope to get some info before I'm doing that
Aokp 4.1.2 official is perfectly stable n works great with siyah kernel 5. Its has no problem at all.
Some roms 4.2.2 are not perfect.they work well but most of them have a very poor battery duration.
In my opinion the only 4.2.2 roms i d use d be: sentinel rom. Aokp. Slimbean. I tested a lot of roms 4.2.2( cm rootbox carbon hct thinking etc) n in this 3 i had no problems at all n good battery life( liquid smooth 2.4 is also great. But liquidsmooth team stop supporting our device so the rom file is lost)

Don't know where you find any mention to "bettet/best" rom, all I ask is if the JB roms are stable enough to flash (its been a while last time I've checked) and just for the record to know which rom ppl here using (from the above, cuz all of them looks almost the same)
I also would like to know if there is any bugs or something I should know about the new versions before I'm flashing it.
But if you don't want to help with this, its fine by me.
@Raagh - thanks for reply mate, good to know that the 4.1.2 versions are finally stables!
There are bugs, as always. We got threads about it and fixes for -almost - all of them.
There's no "better ROM" mention, you're right. Tho there are a couple of queries about how stable are those ROM you happened to mention.
You need to try them out one by one or you can read the 1000 pages of the official jb thread sticked in the general forum.
That being said there's no room for any advice on what ROM you should flash, so it won't be -as- a better ROM thread.

just adding on ...
all depends oh what flavor you like ... all the ROM's have there own features dislikes and likes to every individual person... as in kernels as well its matter of preference of what you like ...good luck hope you find the one you like
Its perfectly clear that this is basically a "What is best rom" thread which is against the rules!
If you want to know what is the best/most stable or however you want to put you should TRY THEM AND FIND OUT!
All these type of threads do is result in the same subjective opinions nothing more, If you want those kinds of threads dont create new ones use the search button!
Also READ sticky topics!
Thread reported for obvious reasons!
Sheer laziness :-/
Maybe its because of the poll that I've opened you may tought its "another BEST rom thread".
Seems like some people here getting 'self-righteous', since the last time I've visited...
A simple question that become a spam one, thanks to the 'righteous' "guards" // AKA bootlickers.
I pretty 'seated' about flashing new ROMs, I know most of you don't, but I've flashed a lot of ROMs before I've got the two I mention at the first post, you can call it lazyness, I call it doing home-work before flashing 10 ROMs, I prefer focus on 2 or 3 ROMs to check...
Anyway, I have no idea how to delete the poll (some dumbs may thought its 'what is better rom' post because of this stupid poll, the aim was to see the distribution of the people who use these popular roms, but no one never choose anyway.)
Still - I've got my answers, thanks to @Raagh @gastonw and @slimlo for the informative answers, I naively thought it was a simple question and after a while people could direct me more to something specific.
You can close this thread, thanks again for the above guys and for the 'self-righteous'//bootlickers - hope you'll had a better popularity next time.
The question is, why shouldn't you flash & test a bunch of roms to find one that has what you want/one you like the same as almost everyone else here ? The whole point of hanging around a place like XDA is you like messing around with your phone - yourself. Not have everyone else do it for you.
If that's not your bag, you're probably in the wrong place.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.

I'm a fanatic ex RootBox user. To me, this question rather depends on personal preferences. There are no such thing as this kernel is better than that kernel because in my opinion, all items on XDA are treated the same respect. If you have to ask me, I'd stick to the stock kernel that came with RootBox itself as I think the developers developed their ROM to proper blend with the kernel they provided, just make sure they are compatible with each other.
Ever since bajee has left the development, I switched to NeatROM JB 4.1.2 Aroma (and never regreted once) since they are more active supports, updates, and mods for this ROM. It's very sad though RootBox has so much potentials to stay on my top ROM list.
You've gotta try to understand and satisfied with the kernel you choose for RootBox and the answer will come from yourself. People can make reviews, but that's all depends on how they use their phone. Same questions like battery life, etc. it's all depends. To me, the best combo is Apollo regular + NeatROM JB. Best battery life ever, you will be surprised looking at the battery graph.
Hope that helps.

great answer my dear
I am puzzled by the fact
This rom has many options that do not exist except in a few roms like PACROM...BAMROM..
But unfortunately ..RootBox has a bad battery performance
So ... I thought to use another kernel may solve the problem
i know that NeatRom has a great battery performance ..but i miss a lot of options in it
thx t u man :good:

Try Beanstalk ROM, it's super stable and got wide options of configuration. On gustavo kernel i get 1% per 1,5h on battery using Greenify and some init.d scripts. Best one in my opinion.
I have 4 suggestions, not in a particular order..
Cyanfox
AOSB - people call it a dead project as there are no updates on it since march, but awesome enough to give it a shot.
C-ROM
And everyone's favorite .. Beanstalk.
Have fun flashing them.

Not a single non-stock rom for the S2 is 100% stable/bug-free as long as there are no proper sources released from the shamesung for the devs to work with.So don't bother finding one,or just pick the one you like the most and enjoy it.
This thread is useless and doomed.

[Q] Suggested ROM --> stability is paramount

Hi there,
I have a i717. For the past several months, I had been running CM 10 stable build (10.1.3 I believe), but found it to be anything but stable...Lots of random reboots, screen no always very responsive on attempted wake...It got bad enough that I went back to my previous ROM, waaay back to FlapJaxx's Build 12. FJ's ROM is incredibly stable, always has been and I'm very tempted to just roll with this until my contract is up...but at the same time, this is Android version 4.0.4 so it makes me feel a bit old fashioned.
It seems much of the community here has moved onto other phones, so my options may be limited...but anyone got a shout out for a good STABLE ROM?
Besides the rock solid stability of FlapJaxx, I am also generally impressed with the battery life (on CM 10 it was pretty awful), and IMHO BLN is superior to Dynamic Notifications...
Now I am pretty sure that my reliance on BLN will limit my options, but I'm just curious what other options folks here might recommend.
Thanks in Advance.
If you want stable, stick with the stock 4.1.2 version. Or any stock version for that matter.
No one will be able to tell you what custom rom is stable but you. Not all devices will perform the same for 2 different people. What suits one person might not perform the same for another. Xda recommends you try all the custom roms and see what works best for you.
Thanks, clearly I've been out of the loop didn't even realize there was a stock JB update on the phone...I'll blame my kids
As near I can tell, if I want a rooted/de-bloated stock MD3 experience I'm looking at Padawan or Blackstar?
Since these use stock kernel, will BLN work or if I absolutely must have BLN working am I stuck with a 4.0.4 kernel?
Thanks again...

XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great day!
