[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Restl3ss:
Pimpdroid 2.1.4

Some of you may know me from my work on the note 1 i717 with Pimpdroid 1.0, and though this ROM shares the name, it is not a continuation of the previous project. More so, I have named this ROM after 1.0 as a sort of ode to fallen projects. My note 1 had broken and I bought an S3, but by that time I already had significant progress on the release of 2.0 - however, much to my dismay, the hard drive containing the majority of my work is now toasted. I mean literally, toasted. It became corrupt and being that it is a really metal idea I gave it a bit of a viking funeral. Anyway, enough of my ranting. I present to you Pimpdroid 2.1.4 for the galaxy S3, based on stock 4.3 touchwiz with quite a few tweaks. Guaranteed at least one "awwwww yeeeeaaa son" per flash.

-Busybox pre-installed

-(mostly) debloated

-deodexed

-samsung OTA updater disabled

-some network / wifi speed tweaks

-stability tweaks

-tweaked up system sounds, much less of an ear-sore

-AOSP-esque notification sounds

-xposed + wanam, lockwidget, and loser modules

-pretty well no S-crap left on, if there's anything I've missed let me know so I can kill it. (samsung apps is left there deliberately for the sake of galaxy gear functionality)

Bugs:

None that I know of. Tell me?

Some notes:

- One thing to keep in mind is that due to the kitkat apps (namely, camera), GOOGLE HANGOUTS is intended to be your primary SMS / MMS app.

Do not come to me with any issues regarding other sms/mms apps.

- Also keep in mind that though this ROM is starting to exit its baby stages, It's an early release, and I intend to add much much more to it in the future.

- And lastly,

I HAVE NO TIME FOR DRAMA.

Nobody is forcing you to use this ROM, if you don't like it flash something else.

With that being said, download links, instructions, and change-log are below. Have fun and happy flashing!

Flashing instructions:

-Full wipe (don't come with issues if you dirty flashed)

-Flash rom

-Do NOT flash any gapps, it's a TW rom they're built in

-reboot and let it sit for about 10 minutes

-enjoy!
