Default [Q] recommended touchwiz rom

well, I got brave and rooted my S3, and was looking to go further by trying a rom.

This is my first smartphone, so I don't have a lot of experience with different models, but I like touchwiz, and enjoy S voice and search google via voice to text. Actually, there is not a lot about this phone that I don't like. That said, I always believe a product can be made better.

I read a post somewhere a few days ago where someone commented that they had tried a variety of roms, but ended up going back to a modified sammy rom because Cyanogen and AOKP roms removed all of the stuff that made his S3 special. He commented that it made it feel like a 2 year old Nexus. Not having tried any of these roms, I cannot vouch for the truth in this, but it makes sense, and I too want my S3 to be "special... plus"

Some of the things I'm looking for in a rom are
keeping s voice
a toggle mod
some debloating
Beats audio, or similar
I would like a translucent status bar (is that what is called?) .. the thing you pull down from the homescreen

Free GS3 might be an option, but its a T mobile port, and I'm not sure about it.

any recommendations are certainly welcome.

Thanks...

Welcome to android!
Before a mod shuts this down because these types of threads don't get to stay and your in the wrong section as well. I will tell your best bet is to read, read some more and then try some out. There a lot of great roms but your the only one who will know if its right for you.
Good luck!

thanks. My bad, whats the right section?
noobs like me can't post in the developers forums

BTW, I've been reading, and reading and reading some more, but recommendations are always welcome.

I did run across a similar thread, but of course it was a general android question, not specific to At&t, which is what I have.

This is very simple if you want a reliable non bug all features working rom... just stay with stock... all other roms are not perfect, they will give you some but it will also lack on something, I have try them all and always come back to stock.

Thanks, I had considered that possibility, but thought I would ask.

Default Re: [Q] recommended touchwiz rom

Q&A Should be where questions go. I would also say there are many solid stable roms. Read, read and try as many as you want. All phones are not 100% the same and your apps and setups can effect how it runs.
Good luck

Default Re: [Q] recommended touchwiz rom

There are multiple threads in this (General) section and the Q&A section. Please search and read those threads for opinions, options, etc. Moreover ROMs are a personal choice, and are subjective to user experience. I'd suggest making a nandroid backup, flash a ROM, if you don't like it, restore your backup and try another.

Thread Closed.

P.S. Welcome to Android and XDA.
