Hey guys.

Currently, I am running CM10 on my verizon SIII and so far a love it! No complaints for me.

I am getting bored of it though, like anyone else would get who loves their phone, and am looking to change to something else!

Please let me know which ROM you are running, and the Pros and Cons of the ROM!

I am very interested to know, THANKS!!!

I'm currently running PACman. It has the best of CM10, AOKP, and ParanoidAndroid all mushed together. It's only the first build for our device so it has a few rough spots to iron out, but so far it hasn't proven to be any less stable than CM10. I personally can't stand TW so if you're looking for something a little bit different in the AOSP realm, give PACman a try.

I deal with tw because it has some sweet perks but i miss having an aosp or aokp but i haven't been able to get the 4.2 camera to be stable without it freezing and not functioning until it restarts.

Loving CleanROM 5. I haven't tried any others. Not going AOSP due to the fact I like & use the Premium Suite that comes attached to TW.

Just moved to Synergy JB r125 last night from ICS r73. So far so good :D

I didn't really like TW while on ICS, so I used Apex Launcher, but am giving TW a shot on JB this time.

I just want a stable ROM, not interested in changing it daily or weekly or even monthly. I only upgrade when the positives outweigh the negatives.

Feels like at least one thing I use is broken in every ROM I've tried so far. Right now running Galaxy Mod, but can't get wifi tether app to work -- even though it's worked fine on just about every other ROM I've used.

Hate stock, but tempted to go back to it.

I'm on the latest Synergy but I tried Pacman rom also. The keyboard kept force closing on me no matter what I did.

Synergy is smooth as hell though.

Have you used treve's version in the apps and themes section?

I use tethering exclusively and have had no issues running the WiFi hotspot toggle that comes with galaxymod.

I don't know if its a different toggle than what the kindacrapmods install on the phone but it works well also.

I was on CM 10 and it was okay. I did miss having some of the touch wiz features like the motion settings and keeping the screen on while your looking at it. I just recently installed the [Rom] Jelly 'Beans' - Build 5 [11/27/12][Aroma][Fully Customizable][I535VRBLK1] with the Aroma installer and I have to say it is far superior to CM 10 it brought back the features i loved about touch wiz and let me choose not to install bloat ware. I was also able to OC in rom toolbox to 1900mhz which i couldnt do in stock CM 10.

Baked Black Bean v6. It's fast, stable, had good features, and it's blacked out.

I used to have a Moto Droid 1 (OG Droid) and the messaging app it came with was able to have group messages, where everyones reply would be in the same thread. It annoys me that it is not the case on my S3.

Does anyone know any app i could get that is good with group convos???
or a ROM that would change that

    Anyone want to share their success story with an AOSP rom with good battery life ?:good:

    For me, it would be CM10.1 and KT kernel. Great performance and battery life.

    I've only had the d2vzw for a few weeks, but I've been flashing between the current cm10.1 nightly with Trebuchet (old habit from my use of the Fascinate), and what appears to be a new TouchWiz offering called BoneStock. With the latter I'm running Holo launcher HD.

    Holo is impressive as a launcher and can be used on aosp ROMs too, so I may start using it all the time... One can backup settings and shortcuts between both ROM types. I do wish there was more file system compatibility between the two ROM types wrt internal and external sdcard mount points :)

    I was very impressed with CleanRom, but BoneStock has a few mods that I really like and seems to show a kindred minimalism :). I tried synergy, but I'm not convinced about the multiwindow capability yet...

    Haven't had time to settle on an alternate kernel for tw ROMs, and I generally just stick with the native cm10.1 kernel when running that. Lean kernel by imoseon seems very solid for both AOSP and TouchWiz versions (I don't really tweak much, mainly looking for reliability and battery life).

    Overall, I'm spending more time with cm10.1, primarily because of the native WiFi hotspot function. WiFi tether doesn't seem to operate as smoothly on the tw ROMs.

    ive noticed that on cleanrom 5.0 and jellybeans build6, gps is abysmal, but the rest is pretty great.

    im on synergy now and gps lock is fixed, still checking out the rest of the features

    The People's Rom from Kennyglass123 and rompnit was successfully ported from sprint and everything is working. Fully working mms, multiwindow, it's already themed and Morphology or circuitry theme work for it. Very smooth very stable :thumbup::thumbup:

    I've tried a LOT of roms in the last 2 weeks, and just recently flashed synergyrom r326 - it is the smoothest rom I have used so far and the battery is amazing. Beans rom is really tempting! For any guys who have used both beans 10 and synergy r326, can anyone give me a comparison?

    Honestly I've run both and have gotten 17+ hours of battery and 3+ hours of screen time on both after allowing them to settle. If you want an AOSP look go with Beans and if you want a more pure touchwiz look go with Synergy.
    Synergy also utilizes the multi window feature and beans removed it from his build. It never bothered me, but some users claimed that it was slowing their device down. Honestly, nandroid and flash away to see which one you prefer.
