Hi all,
I have an INTL 9300 (1gb ram) and it's SLOWLY KILLING ME.
I hate Cyanogenmod and I like Touchwiz, I like the skin, I like the dialler, I LOVE the scheduled SMS function in the SMS app, I like the contacts, I like most stuff. I just want a ROM which is memory optomised if that's possible? Does such a thing exist? Something which disables S-Voice and disables the camera watching your eye and all the other little things.
I've turned off what I can already but my phone is still quite painful.
Does anyone have a suggested ROM for this? I literally don't need any new features.
I've currently got JSS15J.I9300XXUGMK6 (ROOTED) but otherwise stock.
Is there anything which is up to date but somehow the free memory usage is as high as possible?
Thank you all for your time.
IMHO best touchwiz based rom out there is back-to-n00t KK 4.4.4

What you are asking is like asking for a female model that can run faster than hardcore male runners.
Touchwiz will always be sluggish.
I honestly dont know about that Back-to-noot because I hate the old Samsung Touchwiz,and therefore use roms like S5 Sensation,Blekota S5 Lite and Note 4 Lite.
From those 3,S5 Sensation felt the smoothest.
Any you can try using Seeder ------Seeder Youtube video
Try QS 4.4.2 rom, excellent battery, ram & smooth. Use with Agni kernel for easy tweaking. QS has combined hard & soft mod in a zip for latest release. If you want a slimmer version, try his clean ported NI2 version or use QS based Skywalker rom (300+mb only)

If Touchwiz is slightly slower than Cyanogen / stock google, that's fine by me. I'm more curious if some of the stock samsung apps which are bloatish can be disabled. I know several things can be turned off and un-installed manually by a new phone owner with root but I was curious if other optimisations were possible by ROM developers, dunno.
I think back-to-n00t KK 4.4.4 meant to be a base rom, if you try it you will understand what I mean :laugh:
instead of back-to-n00t KK 4.4.4 you can use Blekota Note 4 Lite v3 :good: Blekota Note 4 Lite v3 uses back-to-n00t KK 4.4.4 as a base ROM and it's very stable! also it's AROMA so you can choose what to install so if you choose wisely you will get a solid, shiny operating system for your old fella :victory:
Try S5 Sensation
Back to n00t is fine, but you can give S5 Sensation a try as well. You have the Aroma installer, you can cut down the bloatware, S-Voice and other stuff, and just have what you want.
Its pretty stable, good battery life and OK performace, unless you're a heavy user. For daily use, its perfect.!

I've read a few threads here concerning multitasking problems on the Galaxy S3. From what I gather, the reason multitasking sucks and apps constantly reload when reopened is due to bloatware running in the background using precious memory.
I have a Nexus 7 as well and multitasking on this thing is a dream. Hardly anything is ever reloaded. I've seen a few different suggested solutions but nothing 100% solid.
My S3 is stock (unrooted) and running JB 4.1.1. For some reason, my phone won't find the 4.1.2 update but that's another story in itself.
I'm just asking for people who have experienced this problem, apps constantly redrawing, what you all have done to fix this. What roms you've flashed, mods you've flashed or made etc. Maybe this can be made into a thread to help a lot of S3 users, a guide somewhat. This is my 2nd S3, I flashed a few ICS roms on the 1st one and it never made much of a difference in terms of memory management, but I don't know if the same could be said for JellyBean.
Any tips and advice much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Most custom roms seem ok for multitasking. Just don't flash any aggressive memory management mods coz they're gonna kill your app as soon as you open another.. "stock" custom roms do the trick for me unless I'm running a heavy game or something.

I've been flashing roms like crazy and none of them are as smooth as my Nexus 7 or my friend's Nexus 4..I've tried all the best AOSP roms and stock based roms and I can't be satisfied till it can be as smooth as a Nexus 4..its solely the ram management that's slowing everything down :'(

2gb version doesnt have this problem . only 1gb version di this
I understand what you're saying. Like you, i've searched and tested a lot to solve multitasking on stock roms (zram, swap in the internal sd, swap on external sd, tweaks like apps in ram increase, etc.) Far from satisfying. You can get jkay mod to lock your launcher in memory, that helps with the launcher redraws but one can't just lock everything in ram. zram had weird behaviours with extended use, swap works but makes all stuff generally slower, especially if used from the external sd and also has the sd wear potential problem.
I've came to terms with the reality that multitasking is essentially broken and since every other samsung phone on this range is getting 2Gb i gave up on samsung bothering to actually make this work properly. I don't even think newer phones have that fixed either, it's just there's probably enough ram not to care.
I was just about to put it up for sale so i tried aosp roms. Dude, this is where it's at, it's not that it's perfect but multitasking probably doesn't get any better than this for this phone. Tried slimrom and, granted, you do some "sacrifices" but multitask WORKS. I mean, stuff doesn't get closed after a while because for no reason - on stock, apps on background actually apeared to have a timer, they'd get closed even if i didn't do anything with the phone after a while (there's a limit of course). Also, i didn't compromise that much. Browser is actually better than stock's - does the same but it's faster and reflows text on zoom. Camera isn't THAT bad. You do lose all the effects from the stock camera but i never used them anyway and i can always get some other camera app for that, there's plenty anyway. I've seen people complaining about bluetooth but i use mine a lot and haven't come across any problem. Some say they have worse battery or microlags - to me battery's about the same as stock and had microlags anyway with stock, even worse since apps were restarting way more often.
TL: DR - try out an aosp rom. Made me reconsider selling my phone. For now.
Hey,
I'm very new to rooting flashing and all of this but I learn fast.
Originally came here because I was disappointed with my S3 and how it is working so I googled, knew a thing or two about rooting, rooted almost a week ago then a day after I was flashing my very first rom.
My first rom was S4 revolution v12 I liked it but after a while - not very long while - I have experienced lagging and dull responding just like what I had with my stock rom.
Then I said so what I'll flash another and another. Again, googled best rom and knew that there is no such a thing but my eyes captured Cyanogenmod and I said ok I'll give it a try and I did.
Now I'm running cm11 M3 and the device is speedy, no lagging what so ever, actually experinced multi tasking for my first time - multi tasking with stock rom is a lie - and finally I felt like hey that is what I actually wanted.
Had to do some changes to be honest - not to the rom don't get me wrong I'm not that smart - but I had that android keyboard with the number row I love it. Hated that google launcher and its ugly icons so now I'm using KK launcher and few other things and that's it.
Now to my question. In this little short adventure of mine I have experienced two diffrent roms well, three actually counting the stock rom and the stock rom was awful, S4 revolution v12 was quite good but not that speedy and cm11 that pushed my S3 to its limits. My question is - in terms of speed, performance and no lagging - what was holding the device back and what made it as fast as it now with cm11?
I mean is it the rom itself, maybe the kernel if I even understand the term well, the samsung heavy Touchwiz or maybe the samsung apps? I need to understand because it'll help me choose between roms and kernels and really have what I want.
P.S English in not my native language so if you'll correct me be nice

Since the time Samsung Galaxy series phone were launched, over the years, this has been a problem with Samsung stock ROMs.
The device would be fast without lags for some period of time and then it starts lagging.
I am no expert, but in my experience, its the Bloatware and many unnecessary features that Samsung puts in its ROMs.
This is the reason Samsung ROMs are usually heavy about 1GB
These apps/features hog up the cache memory over time and takes up system memory.
this causes the lags and freezes (well, at least in my case it was always).
As opposed to this, in CM11 or AOSP ROMs in general are bare bones ROMs which are based on pure android.
this is the reason they are light about 200 MB + 150+ MB for gapps.
less bloat, lesser cache used and lesser lags.
Well this is my inference from my experience with Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy S3.
Someone can correct me technically if I am wrong.

That is the problem with sammy roms, there's too much bloat and garbage. But there are some ways you can make it slightly better:
1- You can use a de-bloating app (search XDA) and remove unwanted apps for a better performance. But this is not recommended for new users or those who have less experience.
2- You can root your device and use Titanium Backup to freeze un-needed apps/services. Sometimes freezing an app can give you errors so you can defrost them safely, no worries. The apps are not deleted, but they are just hidden from the system.
3- Use an app like Greenify (Donate version recommended) and make them hibernate. Donate version can even freeze system apps like Google Play etc and this is one of the easiest/safest way to speed up your phone and reduce lag. (Need Xposed module to freeze system apps)
4- Use a custom Rom like Resurrection KK (but some camera issues) for fantastic performance.
5- Learn to forget Samsung apps There are better apps out there.

I was wondering about the pros and cons of each. For example, right now I'm running MIUI, and it has the best experience of any rom I've used (I've been using MIUI since GB on my N1 - only recently upgraded to the GSIII). But, I really like the way Milk Music looks, and I can only get that particular app if I'm running a near-stock touchwiz based rom.
I was wondering if there was a way to get the best of both worlds? Or if I should stay away from stock entirely, or if there are any other benefits I'm missing!
Hello !
I believe this is one of the hardest question to reply ever "stock or aosp/aokp/miui".
For me, everything depends on what you want to do with your phone. Exellent battery life would be stock rom, but more smoothness would be cm, for exemple.

It's mostly about appearance and functionality for me. I'm pretty good on battery life, and have a battery backup if needed. I love how clean MIUI looks. It's always looked obsessively clean, and I love it for that. It also lets me arrange my status bar into the iOS style (I like the battery on one side, signal on the other - clock in the middle).
MIUI with Aviate as my launcher seems to work wonders, and MIUI has a lot of great features - built in data monitor, app and trash cleaners, just a lot of great things to keep the phone running smooth.
But I want the samsung support as well. I like a lot of the touchwiz stuff (minus the actual launcher), and I enjoy having my data backed up with them (MIUI backs up my data, but not all of it, really). And I am absurdly interested in the Milk Music app. But when you look at stock/near-stock touchwiz based roms that have the samsung support and the camera app, and the like, you're stuck with the stock UI as well. Which is nice, mind you - leaps and bounds better than it was in previous versions, but still leaps and bounds behind the work that MIUI has done to give it the smooth feel I've come to expect.
If only there was a way to get the Samsung Framework on MIUI, I think all my problems would be solved.
I never tried MIUI, because I don't really fancy the iOS style..
I think, the perfect rom would be a mix of CM, stock rom, and maybe MIUI too, but I believe that's impossible to make.. :/
Stock:
Pros:Usually completely stable,Full warranty,Apps is usually better designed/has more features,Can use official updates easily,More Secure(Without root of course)Usually looks better(my opinion)
Cons:
(may be a bit slow)
Inefficient
Unrooted
Bootloader may be locked
High ram usage
Custom
Pros:
Usually faster than stock
Usually pre-rooted
More efficient
Usually quicker update timeframe
Less space is used
Easier to install certain apps
Cons:
Loss of warranty
Unstable
Errors
Insecure(rooted)
Apps are more plain (less features/looks)
So... First of all, I'm not asking for the best ROM.
At the moment, I'm using ArchiDroid v2.5.2 on my i9300, and it's fast, but... Random reboots, and the camera quality it's not the same as in the 4.3 ROM's.
What I want is a ROM with no random reboots, with the best camera quality and of course, as fast as AOSP or even faster
So... Which ROMs (and kernel) do you guys recommend?
I'm tired of switching between 4.4.x ROMs, all of them have bugs. The Note2 ports are laggy (even though everybody is saying that these ROMs are smooth as butter) and AOSP have the problems that I've mentioned before.
Help me, please

Abort the Samsung laggy and almost useless world, choose AOSP roms.
I can propose you the only AOSP rom tried: CyanogenMod 11.
Download the latest M release (more stable than nightlies).
Note that there are some minor bugs, a 4.4 "perfect" system for S3 actually doesn't exist.
Then... the better kernel is BOEFFLA, useless to say [emoji6]
Download the related app (the latest BOEFFLA Config-v2 apk), choose zzmove or pegasusqplus as governor, while as scheduler choose sio.
To boost your phone, have fun with all the kernel parameters, CyanogenMod is considered the better rom, all other AOSP roms are based on CM source code, useless to change os.

A wildly sweeping and inaccurate statement if ever there was one.
There are some exceptional stock based ROMS out there, with very good performance, good battery life and stock features that you don't get in AOSP which many people like to have (also from what i've seen, the stock Camera app gives better pictures too)

I tried Android Revolution HD: at first was moving better than stock rom, but when I began to use hardly my device... too many lags and terrible slowdowns.
Caused mainly by the unremovable TouchWiz.
Using another launcher, the heavy TouchWiz works ever, for different reasons than the simple use of launcher.
You can remove all the bloatware, make lots of optimizations... but TouchWiz will "eat" your RAM (only 1 GB on I9300 and lots of its variants) and never you'll be able to quietly use so many apps as in AOSP roms.
On CyanogenMod, Trebuchet can be completely replaced by other launchers, unthinkable thing on a Samsung rom.

You tried one other stock based ROM and made your conclusion from that alone?
Each to their own, but I've used enough versions of CM on enough devices over the years to know the pros and cons, and personally on the S3 I can get a most satisfactory level of performance and battery life from a stock derived ROM whilst not losing any of the additional functions.

Totally agree with the first thing, then you told a bull****, you based your "fictitious reason" on a my partial citation at your leisure.
To prevent misconceptions and "abuse" of what I said in the topic, @hundred_miles_high forget to explain that according to me, the stock roms "compatibility" is limited only to Samsung devices.
With BubbleUPnP and similar (you should know them), stock roms become completely useless... or you need the 2-way call recording? [emoji6]
OP dislikes (as everyone) forced reboots, and need a good camera quality. If the suggested rom is poorer in any other term respect to AOSP systems, it doesn't matter.
Is this your reasoning?
With CyanogenMod 11, the terrible 10.2 camera experience was aborted.
Stability is guaranteed, also if the releases are snapshots, more than 6 months of developing.

With BubbleUPnP and similar (you should know them), stock roms become completely useless... or you need the 2-way call recording? [emoji6]
OP dislikes (as everyone) forced reboots, and need a good camera quality. If the suggested rom is poorer in any other term respect to AOSP systems, it doesn't matter.
Is this your reasoning?
With CyanogenMod 11, the terrible 10.2 camera experience was aborted.
Stability is guaranteed, also if the releases are snapshots, more than 6 months of developing.

Why would a Samsung ROM be compatible with anything other than a Samsung phone? This is after all the SAMSUNG S3 forum isn't it, thought it would be pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain the context it was used in.
I don't understand your ramblings about BubbleUPNP but Bubble and Sempervid links work fine on my stock derived ROM - I use them regularly with youtube/tubemate , streaming web content and media on my other devices to play direct to my TV (or xbox or nexus 7 for that matter) through my S3.
Ran out of interest with rest of your post due to your rudeness, but maybe you should check the CM11 M9 thread in regard to complaints of poor sound quality in the camera app...........

Enough said, this is going off-topic and is not helpful to the OP, and as we both agree on your statement of 'A Samsung rom is useful for better compatibility'

Yes, I was a bit hard in my answer, because you hurted me with your presumption and falsity to report properly my citation.
"This is after all the Samsung S3 forum"
With this stupid aforism you have damned lots of users who run a different rom.
I propose you to browse with brain (I dubt you know how use it, almost in this context) any S3 support forum, and see how many people use, speak and receive support about CyanogenMod, SlimKat, PacRom, etc.
And you are the first user who compare, even consider better a stock rom than AOSP... in terms of performance.
I hope you are joking.
"Ran out (...) Samsung devices"
You won't recognize the mistake (if not intentional) when you reported partially my famouscited my famous citation.
The truth is that you braved me since replying my first post: this is a topic where OP required "suggestions" (do you know this term?) from each user, not debates, nor topic wars.
Reread the topic, reflect about and get out, you told enough.
Hi guys, I'm searching for a rom which works great with games, any ideas?
No one is going to answer you because of the rules. I'm trying to find it to for the last six months. In my opinion is best if you have some knowledge if you don't you will have to read for a while, to use you latest stock rom. But you will have to deodex it, zipallighn it, apply the modes you like from other rom if there are some and remove the bloatwear not all just the one that is safe to remove and you don't need. And perhaps replace touchwiz with nova launcher. It's just that here are very sensitive on questions about best rom. For the past six months I've downloaded a lot of roms and after a while having problems with all of them- here I mean problems with playing games. And till now the best experience I had was with stock rom but then I was missing some futures, mods from others. So only solution as I don't wanna search for another 6 monts is make my own. By the way the qiestion is not which is the best rom but which is the best for games or in other words on which rom I'll have no or less problems but stil for here is like you ask which is the best.
So make your own rom deodex and zipallighn for speed, remove the app you don't need because most of the bloatwear has running processes all the time so you can have more free ram and then if you want some extra mods.
I hope this is helpful although it mean you have a lot to read if you are new at that.
As previously stated, stock roms are the best all rounders and in my opinion much better than custom roms hands down.
As soon as you root a samsung you can expect performance issues. Had the same problem on all 3 samsung devices I've owned. This led me to not touch my htc m9 at all as far as mods go..
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Thanks for an answer.
I've used a lot of roms too, I've been changing them every week and I'm really enjoying ArchiDroid with android 5.1.1. I'm definitely going to try installing latest stock and doing what you told me to, I never liked stocks though.

I can't live without root, I'm using a lot of tweaks and rooted apps. Stock roms were always laggy and slow for me, maybe I just can't use them properly.
Stock ROMs are laggy on legacy devices.
New devices works perfectly good on Stock ROMs. This is why they have lesser Custom ROMs and older devices still has some ongoing developments.
I've never had any performance issue after rooting my Sonys and Samsungs. I always had better performance and recommend custom ROMs because they work better for me. Please bear in mind that my latest device is the S3 which has 1GB RAM while other new phones are going 4GB so my opinion only stops here : On old devices. On new devices , I've played with my friends Note 3 alot and we reached a conclusion that it works flawless even on Stock ROM.
For a gaming ROM , I would suggest ArchiDroid if you are going CM. Latest Archidroid Lollipop works flawlessly for me (Even while using Chrome with 11 Tabs. No lags and reloads while switching tabs). Runs NFS:Most Wanted , Cyrus and alot other major games that I've tested run on full FPS without a single lag. However , Hearthstone will never work good on S3 even on this magnificent ROM. Go for Archidroid for both KitKat and Lollipop if you want Performance. Go for Temasek (Darkened's build) if you want balanced Performance , customization and slightly better Battery life. Other ROMs work too , they may have more customization (Blisspop) etc but I did not list them because they are too heavy for a Gaming ROM In my opinion. AOKP KitKat is also a fair choice to go for.
For Touchwiz Based ROMs, I would say LukeROM. Install without Bloat and enjoy a smooth ROM even on stock kernel and no Greenify. NFS:Most Wanted , Cytus and other major games that I've tested also runs on full FPS without lag. It also has stock Camera and Note 4 Multiwindow that allow floating app like Messenger Chat Head. However , Chrome makes this ROM die on stock kernel. 4 or 5 tabs and it starts reloading when switching tabs. NeatROM Lite is also a good choice if you're fine with Android 4.3 and a Bluetooth Bug where NFC gets turn on too when you connect to a Bluetooth device. (Might be device specific bug since I don't see a lot of comments about that bug). Blekota's S5 Lite ROM with Boeffla kernel and Speed Mod also works flawless. Check my post on that thread for tutorial.(Posted few months back)
These are my personal experience with various ROMs for I9300. I've flashed almost every ROM that came to XDA and a few other Chinese forums since January 2014 and these are my conclusions. Please bear in mind that the same ROM might perform differently for different users with different usage and settings. Have a nice day
@conanDO98 Thanks for an answer, you just put everything in a whole new light to me. I'm on Luke's rom for like an hour now, it works great. But i do have a question, you said "no greenify", may I ask why? I always thought it's good for performance.
I have 550 free ram running cm 12(gaaps pico installed)now looking for a custom kernel to overclock...can u sugest me one?
@nolitooo When I was on cm12 I was using an ArchiKernel, it worked great. There's always boeffla kernel, with boeffla config app, try them both and pick your best

I'm sorry. By no greenify I mean I did not install Greenify on that ROM.
I suggest flashing Boeffla 7.9 on Luke ROM because after flashing I find the ROM smoother and Chrome works better
@conanDO98 I'm gonna flash it now and see how it works
I've tried archdroid it's not that it wasn't good just searching for better. I play a lot call of duty heroes which is laggy with all the roms i've tried so far but with most of them after a few days the game starts to crash, to close by itself but I don't need a rom that I need to restart every few hours or every day.
I'll try Luke Rom in a few days and will see if it's better. I guess that part of the problem is that most of the time I have installed around 80 apps by me. Some games, for alarm, calculator, apps like facebook, line, soundhound, xposed with some mods and others.
About the kernel I like boeffla with his options but for some reason I have less apps closing by itself with stock.

I think stock roms are better for gaming, I play a lot of games, I was using cm12.1 and archidroid for few months and gaming was nice, but not what I was looking for. Now I'm on Luke ROM with boeffla 7.9 and gaming is so much better then on lollipop. I haven't played CoD Heroes though.
I did try the Luke rom but after a few days had some problems with some games, back on stock and all perfect. Now just have to download some tools and have free time and will deodex and zipaligh it. And some other mods if I find some good.
