Liquid Smooth (RC7)

No problems so far!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 12packabs:
I am running Slimbean 2.9 with LeanKernel 1.81. Recently got 15+ hrs of battery with 4 hours of screen time. With lighter usage I would easily get 24 hrs of battery.

No issues, everything works, very snappy. Highly recommend.

Task and Ktoonsez AOKP is stellar. Stable as can be with excellent battery life and performance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] woodydog:
Yeah by far the best ROM for this phone is AOKP by task & ktoon

I ran CM10 on my captivate. I just got my i747 tonight and decided to flash CM10.

I'm pretty new to the S3 scene.

Tried out CM10 for a little while after first trying AOKP, missed the customization ossibilities in AOKP and went back right away. Going to try out Liquid Smooth soon.

I like AOSP, but keep coming back to ROMs like Kyan and Triune because they're stable and have a better camera. Maybe I'll try AOSP again when 4.2 is available.

Another vote for Task's AOKP. So good I can't bring myself to try any others lately. :)

How come baked blackbean -7 not on this list..

I think its the best 4.2..only ROM that have little difrient options in romcontrol..

Amazing battery life .mobile network never goes down like with the other 4.2 ROMs

Just all around amazing ROM .

I just installed Illusion about 2 weeks ago and am extremely impressed by it. The new version based on RootBox was just released today; it seems just as stable as the last version, but I'll need a day or two to check it out. The features brought into this new version are pretty cool, and I'm assuming it will only get better.

I'm running a TW Rom from dev. Jovy23 called Darthstalker and Ziggy kernel it's my DD and I Just installed the morphology zip wow it's super stable extremely fast and with morphology I've modded my phone to my liking. I was using PacMan which is a great Rom and I still have as a backup that still play with but Darthstalker is by far my favorite Rom. By the way I've ran Triune, cm10,Euroskank iMIUI, Aristodemos, parakangandroid,Wanam, serenity, liquid smooth and several more. Darthstalker freaking ROCKS!

I'll have to go with Task650's AOKP ROM. So buttery smooth and stable, and the boot animation is sick!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ITNV:
I posed this question in one of the other ROM threads too but in case there's anyone following this thread who doesn't follow that one...

Can anyone suggest a good 4.2.1 ROM with working bluetooth streaming? From what I've been able to find on the development threads there is an issue with sound getting garbled when streaming music/audio via bluetooth. I saw some posts about the ALSA flash to fix it but Task650 said it breaks stuff and other posters said it introduced an echo in calls.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LuRock:
I believe they are still working on a fix. Hopefully we'll have one soon.:)

Drooiid!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LuRock:
Best ROM I have run so far is Task's 4.2

Bluetooth stability not included. Yet!:D

But luckily I don't use it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WattB006:
Right now I am on the fence. I have been switching from Vanilla RootBox to GalaxyMOD and the Synergy MOD for the multi window feature. I love RootBox the best but also really like the multi window feature. If we can ever port the multi window to AOSP I would only run Vanilla RootBox.

Thats my 2 cents. I have a flashing addition like some of you out there and always have to try new ROM's.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] msd24200:
It's weird because usually by now I would have already flashed my phone is multiple times but my s3 runs great so I've left it stock. I feel the boredom creeping in tho so it probably won't be much longer!

The 1.30.2013 build for task has apparently fixed a lot of the bluetooth streaming errors. It still seems to be iffy for some people, just kind of a device to device issue. I don't personally use the feature. But I'd say that's your best bet.

People have been reporting good A2DP on the last two (or more?) CM10.1 Nightlies. I'm only using the phone part of bluetooth (in my car) and it has been working properly for a while. Music seems to have been fixed lately, but i dont know for sure as i dont use it.

Why to have custom stock based ROM vs stock:

PDroid. As much as 50% more battery life. Tons of unneeded bloat removed. More toggles. 4-way boot. Faster phone. Working tether. ABLE TO USE VOIP OVER DATA!!!

Why to have custom stock based ROM vs AOSP:

Qualcom optimizations missing from AOSP. Does AOSP have "smart stay", palm swipe screen cap or voice controlled camera?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slimshotty:
My favorite ROM is GalaxyMod RLS 15. Yes it has a couple of issues but most custom ROMs have there quirks. The curb appeal out of box is fabulous. The combination and level of customization is awesome. This is the fastest ROM I have personally experienced. It's worth checking out.

I was using the CM10.1 nightlies for a while, but once I got a taste of AOKP I never looked back. Task's build is great, but Rootbox has been my choice lately.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Blackout44:
Out of all the ROMs I have tried (which isn't a staggering amount, I might add), Task's is the best by far. I really have not had any major issues with his releases since I started using them in December. I have tried CM10, but it had way more issues. I've got friends who are die hard CM fans, but I'm trying to get them to convert.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] theredspecial:
I have 2 OEM Rezound batteries, OEM Thunderbolt battery, and a back cover for sale. I purchased the Rezound batteries for about $25 each in March 2012 and the original battery I have used since July 2011. The batteries are obviously used. I scribbled with pen on one of the Rezound batteries water sensor so I could distinguish between the two, but I can assure you that it is not water damaged. (Here is a picture of the small mark I made)

I will be sending my Thunderbolt back to Verizon, but I was told to keep the back cover, so I'd like to sell that too. The cover is in excellent condition with no signs of use, it's always been in a case. I'd prefer to sell everything together in a bundle.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
It helps u to flash a kernel you want if u do those things. Can't flash radios though if you dev unlock etc

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cherylbaker:
Ok so when they release a kernel they release this boot img you mentioned.. I do not think I have ever flashed a radio.. That is the actual phone part if the phone correct.. Does sprint release radio updates? If so what would happen in that case if one cannot flash a radio?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
ruu might flash a radio update or an ota would but not in recovery. Most kernels I've seen thus far have a boot.img to flash

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Idk i never tried it. Also say u flash a rom like cm or miui that won't boot unless you use that rooms kernel. Well u would need to restore a backup and then boot up and flash the kernel then reboot and flash the rom again.

Now imagine you flashed cm or miui and oh poop... I didn't flash the kernel in that app...then u pull up this trusty how to and see oh I can just fast boot it in like 10 seconds...shazam! Your done. Easy squeezey
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinsturf:
Is it okay to clarify something with you?

So what you're saying is if I took that OTA then htc unlocked and root with s-on. (following this HTC EVO Hacks ), I can flash a rom lets say CM10 by kushdeck by taking the boot.img from the files, flash that first using your method then go into recovery and flash the rom? Because I've been told that I can't flash cm10 unless I'm s-off and I can only flash sense base roms because they all have the same kernel. Is this correct?

Thank you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Exactly. Flash the boot.img via fastboot and then the rom in recovery; r the other way it doesn't matter which is first. It works just fine. I'm in the same boat as you. Whoever said you can't do cm10 without s-off is just plain wrong or being a jerk.

The only thing you cannot do is flash a radio any way. That's it. So have fun and happy cm10ing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinsturf:
Thanks so much for the clarification! I thought I wouldn't have been able to ever run cm10 lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adr83:
Once this method has been used. How would I go back to being able to flash stock roms through recovery. It seems that after using this method once. . Everything has to be flashed this way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] johntash:
You'd flash the rom the same way, but you would have to get the boot.img that the rom uses and flash it using this method. Most stock-based roms should work with the same kernel, or at least boot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adr83:
But does that mean that I can't flash stock ROMs in recovery anymore.. I have to keep using adb
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
If you want to use a certain roms boot.img (kernel) then yes you will have to fastboot it every time.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Using the thread ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
All your statements are true... with a little clarification.

The RUU extracts a file into your temp directory called "rom.zip" (which can be flashed through the bootloader because its contents are signed) and contains all the firmware updates including "radio.img" and many others

The OTA (which is flashed through stock recovery) contains a "firmware.zip" embedded in it that contains "radio.img", and is flashed at the end of the updater-script through the command write_firmware_image("PACKAGE:firmware.zip", "zip"); So HTC has no problem flashing radio in recovery, albeit stock.

"boot.img" is by definition the kernel (and a portion of the bootloader - but not hboot). There is also the ramdisk that is part of the boot process but that is its own image "ramdisk.img"

So, if you were S-ON with hboot 1.12 and didn't or couldn't get S-OFF, but wanted all the additional firmware updates HTC released in 1.22.651.3 (like PRI, PRL that couldn't be flashed from recovery), you had to:

1) flash stock recovery

2) relock the bootloader

3) take the OTA update

4) HTCdev unlock

5) flash custom recovery

6) flash su and busybox

Couldn't be easier right? This is why I chose to:

1) Achieve S-OFF

2) RUU to 1.22.651.3

3) Flash whatever I want (from bootloader or recovery)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Nice explanation..... But doesn't really pertain to anything in this thread...this thread is about people that for one reason or another are on 1.15 HBOOT and cant s-off.

Yes :). When you open the start meany its text field is already in focus. A picture for you, if you need it.
