TouchWiz is the current 4.3 stock rom. You can't install a rom that is based on another rom other than TouchWiz 4.3. The only benefit of more space is, well, more space.

awesome, so just to be clear, when i run safestarp, i do the 2 files (rom and kernal) at the same time or one and then re-enter instal?
do you have a link to the kernal?
First the rom then the kernel modules. Here's the link for the modules - http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=3130

so i instal once, exit back out to instal screen and instal the kernal to the same slot
thanks
Yes without rebooting between installs. Once you install the rom immediately instal the modules. Glad I helped.

Install the kernel module Phrisko linked above. You cannot flash custom kernels with safestrap. Safestrap requires a stock kernel.
Noob question - after I ran safestrap and installed clean rom I lost root. but can still boot into safestrap. How do I get root back

This is confusing
I'm sorry, but can someone clarify for me? Maybe I'm not sure what Safestrap is.
My previous S3 got damaged, replaced by Verizon. I was running CleanRom 6.
Upon receiving said replacement, it booted up and immediately took the OTA. Welcome to the hell that is my new phone running 4.3 stock.
Constant reboots and crashes!
I understand that I'm now on a locked bootloader. I understand there is new rooting methods that will give you SU but remains locked bootloader.
What I'm not understanding, based on what I've read:
You can not flash a custom recovery due to the bootloader issue. Isn't Safestrap a custom recovery? Scott says you must have a custom recovery in order to flash his new CR8.
I'm missing something I'm sure, so help would be great. I've been on Scott's CleanROM since around v2. I would love going back!
Can I go from stock/locked 4.3 to CR 8? I have always flashed my Rom's through Clockwork. Now what do I do?

You're right, safestrap is a custom recovery but it's made specifically for a locked bootloader. It's the only custom recovery that will work for you.
It has a very different operation than other recoveries. So read up on it to understand how it works.

Think of safestrap as a program that isolates the stock Rom and allows you to make compartments or "slots" using the remaining space on your phone. After creating a slot you can then use safestrap to install other touchwiz 4.3 ml1 Roms. Safestrap itself isn't a recovery but it conveniently has twrp included within the program allowing you to further back up your current stock rom and flash roms on created rom slots. Safestrap does all this without touching Knox or making changes to the phone which would otherwise trigger Knox and transform your phone into a fancy coaster.

Ok. So in a way it is similar to running a virtual box on Linux, or a dual boot system. (Ubuntu/Windows). At least that's how it sounds in my mind! Haha.
Thanks. I only want to run CleanROM. Any recommendation on slot size? I have the 16G phone with 16G external.

Totally up to you. The more space you use the less you'll have for other roms. If you don't intend on installing other roms then feel free to use the rest for CleanRom as you mentioned above.

No. Installing CWM will hardbrick your phone but it will be recoverable.
What you can do though, after Saferoot, is use Safestrap then you will be able to flash only other VRUCML1 TW 4.3 roms. You will need to flash the VRUCML1 kernel modules in that thread as well, after any and every rom flash in order to have working wifi.2
You can't do that, it uses a different kernel, you're limited to TouchWiz kernels only. Without it your phone will brick.

You have to also flash the kernel module from the OP of the safestrap thread.

Have you flashed the VRUCML1 kernel modules zip like you are supposed to? They are in the first post of the Safestrap thread.
