Information:
This is a stock-based ROM that I've made using UCDLK3 firmware for the AT&T Galaxy S3. I've spent a lot of time developing this ROM making it nice and stable and using the tweaks I thought were the best for smoothness, battery life, and stability. This ROM uses a modified, optimized UCDLK3 kernel by me that includes support for init.d scripts and a few extra bells and whistles. The UV/OC kernel is also available for download (see kernel C).

Post Installation Instructions:
It is HIGHLY suggested that you keep ALL Google Now cards off, verify that you are not updating your location with Google Maps (in Maps settings menu). Remember, Google Now automatically turns on your location settings to update through Google Maps, so after enabling Google Now, unless you want your location on all the time, go to Google Maps and turn it off. Your battery will thank you even more.
If you get a Google account sign-in error after installing, there is an easy fix. Go to Menu > Settings > Accounts and Sync. Please REMOVE your current Google account and then add it again. I do not know why this happens to some people, but it doesn't seem to be ROM related. It happens on several devices including the Nexus. Removing and then re-adding your account again fixes this problem

I am currently uploading the ROM. Unfortunately I have a very slow upload speed (My mobile connection is faster :/). Please be patient and I will have the download ready in the next couple of hours. Sorry for the wait guys.
Since this is the first build, it looks almost exactly like stock. I wanted to get an initial release out for testing and get the important things right first before I go messing with other things. I will be uploading pics as soon as this file uploads. Thanks for being patient. I am going to be themeing hopefully in the next build. Current upload progress is at 100MB/679MB. sigh

Thanks for offering to test. Hopefully you'll be happy with the results. I am going to go to bed now while it finishes uploading and I will have it ready in the morning.
