First, prologue of what I'm comparing , coming from the galaxy note (amazing if you were on king kang ROM which is a combo of AOKP and PA/Hybrid by DaGR8) would love to see someone accomplish that here for the s3 and hell I may even take a swing at it one day. Hybrid is truly amazing. I have always preferred AOKP over anything else simply because of its features (ie. ROM Control). After about a day of stock after rooting and debloating crap I decided to give ktoosez/task650's aokp ICS a try and I loved it and stayed with it from their first release for the s3 until cm10 preview official came out and having cyanogen himself on the project I absolutely had to try it. And then I became spoiled with Jelly Bean :) and I could not go back (Google now is freaking awesome as are many other things in JB as most of you know). Since there have been various builds of cm10 improving stability, performance, re introducing features from cm9 etc. And then aokp jb from task/kt which I also had to try BC of loving AOKP from my s2/note days. I have tried every build of aokp jb and cm10 so far and at the moment I prefer cm10 even though AOKP has been my favorite forever. Cyanogen is freaking beastly with his updates and his years of experience. Aokp jb is great too but as of right now just a slight step behind (by like a day worth of dev) IMO, but I have no doubt they will catch up soon as these are preview builds of JB and still need time to mature/develop.

Anyway prologue over. I tried a few stock based ROMs in between there (many actually) and keep coming back to cm10 as the best to date of this post in my opinion. Of course there will be bugs and a few things don't work properly but overall AMAZING for this early in development.

Samsung for the first time in my opinion did an excellent job with stock ICS that the s3 shipped with and there are a few features I miss mainly small ones but JB features/performance/ battery life are worth the few small bugs and I don't think I'll be returning to anything TW based until they release JB.

Id like to write some more but typing from my phone takes a long time so I'll try to come back and edit this later if I remember with the things that I like from stock and more detail on things from JB that still need to be committed. But thats all for now folks. Happy flashing. :)

Edit: wait seriously there is no poll for cm10 or am I missing something??

CM10 by far best. Thread is more mature. Not so much drama plus you are getting ROM first hand. Great ROM for me everyone should try it.

That is a matter of opinion really. Most of the roms here are for the developer at heart and not some one that is flashing cause it is cool.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
Oh really so I guess you thinking that you're a dev at heart you're opinion is the only one that matters? I guess function, stability and ease of use and quite possibly a decent looking Rom doesn't matter?

Isn't the person asking the question is asking for opinions?

Or is it only your opinion that matters?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
Wuussaaa man. Relax. No need to get all upset about it. You stated about the bugs in other roms and how the theme in TW was great. All I said was it was a matter of opinion. Most of the bugs in roms are user based. Am I a developer at heart? umm let me think, I spend most of my internet time on a developers forum (XDA) I run a rom that requires some knowledge to troubleshoot, Am building my own messaging app, been running custom OS versions on my devices since the Razr Flip phone....yeah you could say I am a developer at hear. As for function and ease of use. Most of the TW options cant be seen as bloat and pointless gimmics, which will soon be available to all by 3rd party apps. Ease of use? Not sure about that one. I mean it is a phone cant get much easier. In the end man no need to get upset about a comment. It all come down to each his own and no one version is better then the other.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
So great I see you've been here on XDA for quite a long time got over 10 thousand posts. You know your way around operating systems. I'll give you that. Be that as it may I gave my humble opinion on which Rom I have as my favorite and why and why I didn't care for aosp/aokp roms. I believe that's what was being asked. People's opinion.

I'm well aware that most bugs/problems are user caused. I also still own a Razor flip phone. It's my wife's she hates smartphones.

Yes I am semi new to the whole Rom flashing thing. I just wanted to give THANKS to all of XDA and the developers that make this site and these Rom's possible...:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tele_jas:
I'm pretty new to custom ROM's... In the last 3 weeks, I think I've tried about every TW and 4.2.2 build out there (seriously, I've tried about 40) :D .

I ran each one for about a half a day (give or take), but several only lasted until I seen the GUI boot up.

My favorite so far has been Goodness with Wicked a very close 2nd and then the Intergalactic ROM, but I like the effects in the Goodness ROM better. I'm not just a TW fanboy, I also really liked Carbon, Liquid Smooth and Slim Bean (in that order).

Currently running Goodness since 6/6/13, really like it's stability, smoothness and speed with the Faux 123 kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] legendrocker:
I really wanted to like AOSP but it just doesn't seem to work properly on my phone.

Whenever I press home button it makes weird random noises, and all AOSP based roms did that. All other roms are fine. Not sure why?

Of course I followed the procedure of wiping when installing...

So I'm currently on TW rom with AOSP look/sound. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aval1392:
now that cm10.1 is stable and current releases of aokp/aosp are becoming more stable(probably stable already), what's your preferred kernel and rom as of recently? Trying to decide what saves me the most battery. Any thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
That depends greatly in touch and your device. I could say xyz roms gives me days of battery but you try it and only see half that.

favroite ROM

the only rom i have been using for the past maybe 3 months has been hyperdrive. i have been using hyperdrive since RLS 9. paired with the kinetic pulse kernel. my phone has no issues, no lagg, no reboots. i highly recommend hyperdrive ROM.

I've been on Task's AOKP for almost the entire time I've had my phone, but recently switched to Bajees RootBox and haven't looked back. All the features of AOKP, plus CM, and Paranoid. Best part is the new HALO floating notifications, don't think I could go back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RUNNERX:
I bounce back and forth between Carbon, Slim, and Liquid. I have used slim gapps on all builds has not had any trouble doing so. I also have an Infuse on carbon that I use just as a mp3 player, and a cappy on slim that the kids play with.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dindin1212:
Dandroid.

Good features (TW is a must for me, due to the low cam volume on AOSP roms), with no snotty dev comments and decent battery life.

Cons: unable to update some apps due to sign errors, my computers will not recognize the phone on adb (can on other roms).

I can't really vote on this because I haven't been rooting very long.

I had an older version of PA back in the winter of last year that I liked. It became buggy after a while so I have recently flashed the latest ReVolt. I like it a lot more. Less bugs, stable, better looking.

I am new here so I apologize if this post is totally irrelevant. I'm trying to get my ten posts up so I can actually post in the dev section.

JellyBeer + BMS + CrossbreederMod = Smooth Sexyness

I've been on jellybeer and BMS for over six months, also tried everything else along the way. I happen to like tablet ui and can honestly say jelly beer makes better use of the pa engine than the pa for our device. In my opinion of course. Pa is getting better but beer perfected many things ahead of pa. If u use tablet ui try it.

Task by a mile. Honestly it used to be a backup. Never came across another ROM where its just flash and done, no probs what so ever. Well, with a exception of DSP manager issues but I have another music player so no bigge.

My current love is the Deadly Venom rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alltechinside:
My favourite rom has to be Task650's AOKP ROM. An year ago, I actually preferred CM10.1 before because imo, it was arguably the smoothest rom at that time. While I enjoyed Task650's features back then, but it wasn't as smooth or buggy as it currently is now. Now, AOKP is very smooth and I have very little complains.

I notice that all roms have a downside (like for instance, this rom doesn't have some touchwiz features, some roms don't have certain features, etc), but I like task's AOKP the best.

The 3 key reasons why I use Task650's AOKP Rom is Android 4.2.2, Smooth and Dark AOKP mode :D

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Why is stock with root not an option? The deal breaker on most of these ROMS for me is they don't have the External SD card encryption like the stock Samsung ROM has, and some of them don't even support/work properly with full device encryption. If you work with sensitive information and you're on a VPN which can't be compromised it's crucial. Debloating the stock ROM is EZ with Titanium and even then the bloat is very very minimal and unobtrusive. I don't particularly trust custom ROMS as much as I used too either, it's like installing one of those modified versions of Windows, sure most of them are probably safe but I'm sure some of them have backdoors snuck in.

Task's AOKP- task650

I really didn't like this ROM. I don't feel like unicorns and pink are going to impress anyone or do it for me, even though I realize it's some sort of joke it just seems a bit immature. I'm a purist what can I say. Another deal breaker when I used this ROM was no option to save photos/videos recorded with the camera to my 64Gb ExtSD. The stock ROM has had this feature since the beginning.

Cyanogenmod 10.1+ - Cyanogenmod

This is a great ROM but I always find there to be one game breaking bug that always exists. As soon as they patch it they break something else. I have been using CM roms for awhile and that has been my experience across various devices. Another deal breaker when I used this ROM was no option to save photos/videos recorded with the camera to my 64Gb ExtSD. The stock ROM has had this feature since the beginning.

MIUIandroid-blackwing182

This ROM was my favorite out of the custom ROMS I have tried. Everything felt very streamlined and complete, I also never encountered any bugs. The theming system was amazing as well super easy and tons of themes. The only issue I encountered was parts of the GUI in the ROM are in chinese still, and the theme store is almost 100% chinese.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ToXicWinter:
All of them!

I love all the ROM's that these hard working Dev's put out. Loved Stratatak7's Intergalatic ROM. Rocking Vemon0642's newest build on the UCGMD2 which is giving me insane battery life right now. Also enjoyed Hero's Axis which a lot of cool features and was great eye candy on animations but a few issues didn't make it a daily driver for me.

Mainly stick to TW ROM's since I do a lot of Bluetooth audio streaming and I like to see what song is playing on my radio display so that's kind of a deal breaker for me. If that ever gets fixed on the AOSP ROM's you can bet I'll be using one of those.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Enmitix:

For Aosp Slim bean Roms doesn't matter what build they are all good.(currently on build 8 4.2.2 ) smooth fast and good battery life and one of the most customizable ROM I've ever played with .

For Touchwiz Dandroid 4.1 / 4.1.2 smooth faster than stock .you get the best of both worlds of TW features still intact and the eye candy of Aosp BTW amazing battery life and performance ..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] epiquiem:
I have been using Liquidsmooth 2.9 with the BMS kernel. Liquidsmooth has loads of customization and features. The only bug ive encountered with the current d2att release is when you use GPS and Mobile Data at the same time it has a random reboot. With no further modding, it gets pretty decent battery life. I personally use a tweaked asswax governor, undervolted -105mV and with min/max frequencies at 189mH/1188mH. Use it all day for light gaming and web browsing and it has 50% or more battery left by the end of the day.
