Comparing to 4.1.2 stock, should i get Custom rom?

I know this is a personal thing, but i only care about stable and fast rom, and good battery life.. I dont care about customization a lot... I will root it on stock anyway..

So my question is what is the benefit of a custom rom (AOKP for example) at the moment ?

I know this was asked hundreds of times, and sorry :) But i said i dont need a lot of customization (stock ones are enough for me)

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
You answered your own question.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
If you dont care about customization then rooted stock is perfect for you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
If you need to ask OP, then custom roms are not for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
If you want customization, that's when you consider custom ROM. Other than that, I see no reason to flash it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankushkatari:
The Nexus is meant to get custom roms! Thats why it was made :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4580957:
Yes!!! CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It's actually made to be used as a device to demonstrate stock Android free of any altering from carriers or manufacturer skins.

Custom ROMs is one of the "goodies" that comes along with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
Thank you all for answering my question, and for not accussing me for asking this kind of question..

I did complete wipe, and flashed stock 4.1.2.. If that bores me, ill flash some custom rom... :)

One more q: Will custom kernel help with battery life/performance when it is combined with stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
Fairly to say, at least 90% Gnex is running third part ROM such as CM,AOKP, ASOP, its based on ROM, even modified stock ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viskon:
IMO, the stock kernel holds its own against the custom kernels as far as battery life and performance go. Where custom kernels help is in custom tweaks like over clocking , changing color profiles, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidkid311:
The whole point of a nexus android lol. Calling an icab for you lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
I dont think you understood me... Dont call me an icab. because my electrical engeneering programmer degree will send it off.. I was talking about major customizations.. Not the regular ones... When i had htc, i flashed custom roms.. Now i have that luck, that i dont have to flash custom aosp rom, cause my stock one is aosp...

Hello all first post here. I googled and searched this issue but came up empty.

I recently rooted my ATT Galaxy S3. using the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit [SNAPDRAGON EDITION]. The root went fine and the phone was working great for a couple hours after the root. I restarted my phone one time and received an error stating "No Sim". I turned off the phone, pulled the battery, and ejected and reseated the SIM, turned the phone back on and got the same message. I have tried rebooting the phone numerous times and also did a factory reset. The phone displays the correct IMEI under the settings menu so that does not appear to be the issue.

I know the verizon S3's had some no SIM issues but it does not appear the ATT phones suffered from this. I also do not have another SIM to switch out but will be going to the ATT store tomorrow to switch SIMs to see if that is the issue.

Anyone have an tricks to try to see if I can get this working this evening?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
I've seen weirder things in the world of technology but i highly doubt the rooting had anything to do with the SIM failure, sounds like an unfortunate coincidence. Is this by chance a new SIM? Which root procedure did you use for curiosities sake?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HollidaySlim:
Thanks for the reply!

The SIM is roughly 4 weeks old. I used the ALLINONE ( flash insecure boot, CWM, root phone, Install busybox) option in the toolkit.

I just hope the SIM went bad and not the phone its self.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
That would be my guess, although i rooted manually the toolkit you used has all the same software/firmwares/kernels etc (at the time it was last compiled atleast)...it just automates the process. My guess would be for whatever reason the SIM just took a crap, AT&T should have you up and running on a new SIM in a few minutes assuming that is the case. Might recommend you do a full backup in recovery and flash back to full stock just in case there is some sort of hardware failure so they don't try to blame you for unofficial software. I don't advise people to try to get away with a free fix for something that is their fault, but in this case i seriously doubt it was anything user inflicted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NandroidRage:
Actually I experienced a similar problem.

I'm using a Rogers SGH-I747M but had switched to the Bell ROM to try out the Jellybean OTA which I rooted. Worked fine for weeks, then out of the blue it started randomly saying my SIM card had been removed and forced me to reboot (which took a LOT longer than usual).

Got fed up and am back on stock rooted ROM and the issue is gone. Try reflashing stock and see if the problem continues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HollidaySlim:
Sorry about posting in the wrong spot.

I tried a co-workers SIM this morning and the phone still would not read it, so it appears the phone has gone bad.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dlockhart:
I had this problem with my older S1 i9000.. the issue, wrong modem! not sure if it is the same problem here, but 100% had a very similar problem with flashing the wrong modem.

Flashing your carriers modem should fix it or go back to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HollidaySlim:
I flashed everything back to stock this morning and it was still having the issue.

I went to the ATT store and the CS rep tried a new SIM and lo and behold it worked like a champ. Not sure why my co-workers SIM did not work but all is good now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorscheHusky:
I have been looking all over and my eyes are about ready to have a critical meltdown.

I have a T-Mo T-989 (Hercules) and have been looking for a JB ROM all night and found some shady threads or ROMs that don't work. I dunno, maybe I've installed something wrong, little help here?

Generally the ones that will install get hung up during the initial boot, wtf? Have run across some that wouldn't even install and would abort.

I should say I am using CWM 5.0.2.6... I think, its been so long since I have done anything to this phone so I forget but I know its ither Odin or CWM (or are they both one in the same? x.x ) I've been using Darkside Evolution ICS ROM all this time and would be nice to move up to JB if there is a stable one out there :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
Have you tried vincom's cm build? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886009 its very stable. Been using it for 9 days now without a single SOD or RR. To get the best results I recommend using TWRP. Just head over to the play store and download GooManager. Open, grant superuser, hit menu, then click on "install open recovery script". Go through the prompts and it will download and install TWRP. The method I use for flashing was: Darkside superwipe, ROM, gapps. (I did not use the super light gapps because the home button doesn't work when I do and it doesn't auto restore my apps)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorscheHusky:
Hmm, well I got goo manager and its now stuck on the TWRP's boot screen and just reboots after so long of sitting there :/ and its already deleted the rom, so I guess I have to go through the CWM rooting proceeders again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorscheHusky:
Well I have managed to get CWM5 back on it and got a working ROM for now but it seems when I do the method you imply it flukes and freezes at the TWRP boot screen. I followed ye the best way possible, maybe there is an alternative way?

I have tried installed Vincom's JB all versions and it comes back as error then aborts install or it installs but sits at initial boot for more than 25min and does nothing :( I've found that while the warning say give it 10min to boot is generally just a 'just in case' scenario since the T989's processors are considerably powerful.

I have tried to get the ROM onto the phone's internal memory and install from there like Vincom said but the computer won't read the phone for some reason >.<
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ClaireH:
i would say, to use twrp and download the latest cm10 Here.

i recommend twrp for stable flashing cause there's bugs in latest cwm...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Flash this. Its a flashable TWRP 2.3.1.1 zip.

http://db.tt/gu2PDvZI

Restart recovery, your good!! You need the newer recoveries, like TWRP or CWM 6 to flash JB ROMs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bzlik88:
Not entirely true. Contrary to what everyone has been saying, and im not trolling just saying from personal experience - cwr 5.0.2.7 and dark side wipes have yet to give me problems I was on the majority if not all jb roms with no issues other than rr/sod which was before the kernel fix.

I'm a noob and expect that 90% of the people here kno more than I do but I wish someone could explain to me why the scripts and cwr 5027 are suddenly so bad.

::confused::
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xXrawrXx:
John imilitym

CWR 5027 isn't bad at all it's just that using darkside scripts with certain new recoveries has caused some people boot loops and also with the newer recoveries they aren't required since the built in wipe options work just fine.Personally I use the recovery here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1844637

and have had zero issues with it plus it has the darkside scripts built in :P

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ludbosanac17:
I would recommend trying either AOKP OFFICIAL Build 5 (not sure if by time you read this if theres a newer one) or a CM10 Nightly. I've tried tons of different JB roms from 4.1 to 4.1.2 and those work good. Decent battery life without changing too many settings (I'm afraid to change too many things because I've hard bricked my phone before but barely got it replaced under the 20 day full exchange warranty). No random reboots or force closes for me so far. Highly recommend trying them out, very simple to flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duckied:
Been on the official aokp and its amazingly stable better then anything jb rom I tried on the s2 battery is excellent too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
And I haven't had anything go majorly wrong with cm10 since the nightlies went official. I'm on the 10/24 nightly right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duckied:
Nice nice... I wanna test out CMX maybe I'll make a nand backup and check it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorscheHusky:
Actually... I have CMW6 now the touch one. Does that have something to do with it? The main issue I have with SBean and CM9's JB is eveyrone complains that they can't hear me, that I sound like a robot and the call is badly broken up or that I'm not speaking up like my mic isn't picking up on my voice very well.

Is this a ROM error or a kernel error? rather annoying frankly @_@
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duckied:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorscheHusky:
Ooooo, wait a tic... I feel like such n00b now...

I kept downloading V1 thinking it was the newest one xD I think the V6 at the way bottom is the newest one. I'll try that for a few days then report back.

Edit: QUESTION - my screen is flickering (just installed SBEAN V6)... is that a bad install or did I have to fix permissions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duckied:
That pretty common in most JB rom but it usually goes away after few mins for me. You can go to settings and then developer options then disable hw overlay but you would need to do it on every boot because it won't stick after a reboot.

Btw you should check out official aokp-milestone-1 it not on here but Google aokp and download the one for our phone. Its pretty sick and stable.

An epic ROM that is not on XDA?! What evils do you speak?!

:P

I'll look into it when I can. for now I seem to have gotten this SBean to work and people can finally hear me on the phone :D I will not worry too much about the flicker and pixelation as long as it doesn't do it every single time. It seems to only do it in intensive applications like Draw Something Free or Maps but I think the ROM is finally settling since it's not doing it as bad.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Eddy130306:
OMG I love you so much. I've been looking around for hours for a working recovery, and this one worked. Thanks much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duckied:
Lol that's good to hear. Btw aokp isn't a evil rom most JB rom you see is an variation of cmx or aokp that has been tweaked out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
No. Galaxy SBean is based off of my AOKP ROM which in turn is based off of Dougshells.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
I had the same problem as you, and ultimately tracked it down to using a GB recovery on JB. Flash only the latest version recoveries for JB, CWMs prior to 6.0.1.5 will leave you with a softbricked or unusable phone on JB. What recovery you use does matter a great deal apparently: I think it might bootstrap the phone.

Flash the Official Cyanogenmod nightlies from Team Chopsticks. These have been rock solid for a while now, and constitute the largest and fastest-moving JB development effort for our phone. I've been using it as a daily driver for a few weeks now, and when I say I USE them, I also depend on them to not die during conferences, rapid e-mail exchanges, and whatnot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorscheHusky:
This may sound idiotic and congressive but;

Where can I get the stock OS back for the T989? In the event I want to sell the phone to someone who wants it as if it just came out of the box, would be nice to know where I could get the OEM tmobile ROM!

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorscheHusky:
Wasn't saying the ROM was evil, was saying the statement he made that the ROM wasn't on XDA was evil :P

I believe Google wallet still works even though there is the unsupported device banner, but I know in the evo lte ROMs even though they were root the banner would not show. Is there something similar for the nexus. It was on means ROM if that is helpful at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
The only reason the Verizon GalNex is "unsupported" is because Verizon told Google to say so. That doesn't change the fact that the GalNex has NFC and is perfectly-capable of running Wallet. Just gotta side load it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
The "unsupported device" banner comes from being rooted, the app still functions. There might be a modded version in the themes & apps section but I always just ignored the banner.

Even when I side load the app it directs me to the Google Play store.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoMaMa7467:
I will look there and see, but for now what I have done is disable root within super su. After a phone reboot the app doesn't show unsupported anymore. My only worry with the unsupported banner is that it may be logged somehow during a transaction and if it went bad or I got double charged Google would basically tell me to go **** myself.
