Hello everyone, I am new to this forums but have been operating on phones for a while, I am currently wanting to ROM my Samsung S3 ( I9300 ) to a nice interface and a nice stable ROM. I have narrowed my search down to TWO ROM's that I like and have read up on a lot but I was wondering if I could have some opinions. I am basically struggling to decide on which one to choose. I am mainly wanting the ROM with the best stability but also nice looks if that's possible with either of the ROM's below:
Would you rather install 'Ressurrection Remix' or 'CyanogenMod' and why?
Im using ResurrectionRemix at the moment and its very stable , unless u go to the settings and faceroll enable all the customizations
Hey man, if you don't mind me asking, what do you use your phone for as mine needs to be stable but also optimized

Hello all, I have a Samsung Korea shw-m250L cdma version and I only use it for multimedia purposes (think ipod touch) sine I cannot use the phone functions of it in my country. I want to know the best rom for me that would maximize the multimedia performance of my device. No bloatwares, no funky custom animations or themes, and no need for gps. Only for music, movies, games and wifi. Battery life is not a concern as long as it is fast. Need help asap. Thanks!
This thread will be closed very soon.

any rom will do, just choose the one you like the most and install your favourite multimedia app.
Personally i like the rom with the google look with poweramp for the music/video
Since you have a Korean model of the SGS II this thread might give you some help on getting started with custom roms.

personally any new Jelly Bean custom Rom based on Samsung stock firmware will be perfect as most of the media capabilities are built in with everything you need.
JB Roms are very fast and smooth so win win! try looking at the latest NeatRom Lite!

Good luck!
Is the phone nicked.How can you not use the functions in your country.
Best Rom threads are not allowed as there is no such thing. What's the best rom for me sucks for the next person. It's all subjective

I bought my Galaxy S5 a couple of months ago and I still have this S2. I'm really not sure what to do with this phone. Not gonna sell it away because it is an awesome phone.
But here I'm planning: (I'm sure there are a lot of people like me, not sure what to do with their old S2 now.)
- build a media center.
But this requires sammy ROM so it could be connected to the TV using HDMI.
- try out new ROMs.
Yeah awesome idea.
- use it as an IP Camera.
- use it as an "iPod"
I have some questions regarding these choices.
1) shall I stick to sammy jellybean or upgrade to KitKat? I'm currently using kikat on this S2 but I would like to use it on the TV
2) will it have any problems if I let my S2 stick on he charger 24/7? If only I would like to use it as an IP camera. Will it have any effects on the battery/motherboard?
I hope fellow S2 members can discuss all this here. Thanks!

I am not an s2 user anymore for 1,5 years but.
1) you can stick to jellybean stock if you want it for your tv but I suggest to use a custom rom based on stock jellybean, look in the dev forums there are a couple of it.
2) I am not sure or you will have any problems but just like on a laptop and other devices its not good to let a battery charge for 24/7 so google it for sure for your own safety/phone life.
I also hope for you that other s2 member are going to discuss here with you
I dont see the point to stay on kitkat if you already have the s5. So I suggest to downgrade to an custom stock base rom since it would be also probably more bug free.
I really recommend using a custom stock rom such as neatrom for pure stability. If you prefer a little extra performance (and some new features), go with a kitkat rom such as cyanogenmod or paranoid android (and the list can go for ages).
I decided to go with JB NeatROM. Thanks for the advice guys! I find it more stable and faster as compared to KitKat. (Probably because I didn't use JB for months)
Hello, I have limited Knowledge and am New to ROM/Android.
I have a S3 i9300, and I have Rooted it.
Now I find the phone very laggy and slow ( I had a Moto g and it felt MUCH FASTER) So after some research I think this is because of touchwiz.
So now I am thinking of putting a ROM.
I looked in the ROM Section/Youtube/ and on Here and am LOST on what to do next.
I don't understand which ROM would be best for me?
All I want it is a FAST/STABLE and SMOOTH Phone.
Must be Andriod Kitkat - I want to enable ART.
I don't want crazy features like Pie control/ Touch wiz Ports ETC.
So what do you recommend?
I have heard and seen Cyagoemod. It looks like that is what i want but I am unsure? Will there be too many useless feature for me?
Thank You very much

CyanogenMod is just cool if you want the stock Android experience like on moto g, it have not that much fancy features, it has some but very useful. The only thing you will probably miss if you install CyanogenMod will be the camera quality from Samsung ROMs, in rest is very stable and fast, know from my experience

Hi guys,
Pretty new to this forum. I just gave my younger cousin the Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (I717 model Rogers). I've tried to disable what apps I can, but still notice that the phone is fairly slow. Can someone please give me some advice on what is the best custom rom/root option out there that will enhance the performance of this phone? Doesn't matter if it's for Kitkat or Lollipop, just something that will speed up this phone. I am sure touchwiz running on here doesn't help, but I am looking forward to suggestions!
Thanks in advance!

What is best is what works best for the way you use it. Stock roms are the most stable and least bugs. There are older, speedier, stock based roms including Ginger Bread and Ice cream Sandwich as well as slower Jelly Bean varietals. You may prefer a highly customized or base Cyanogenmod rom depending on the features that are important to you. These are now available from highly stable CM 9 to rapidly developing, usable but far less stable CM 12 varieties. Do your research on these forums and try some at your own risk. There are lots of historical comments on these roms to give you an idea of what worked and what didn't.
