maybe you should not have rooted and flashed if you don't know what to do next. Just my opinion. Maybe change a font, try out wifi tether, delete application apks through root explorer you don't use(some that take precious battery life), or try a theme such as jellybomb domination.

U could go and delete the efs folder. That's always fun to do once your rooted. Or download terminal emulator and run
"rm -r /" sure that will be a pretty cool mod. Then you could come here, (on a pc of course) and post a "HELP!! I cant turn my phone on!" thread.
Jesus I hate posts like this

I'm familiar with the basic things to add on my phone like WiFi tether and custom roms I just was getting some second opinions on things to do because I havent had and android phone is over a year and thought maybe things had changed since I last had a rooted phone

He is asking for suggestions on how to better his experience after rooting. Once again, a couple people find a way to insult someone new to rooting. I wonder how far android development would of advanced around here on XDA if every new person trying to learn the benefits of rooting was flamed on for asking some simple, basic questions. Just some advice for next time friend. Use the search button on the forums. People tend to flame around here if you ask simple questions. Enjoy your rooted phone!

Couldn't have said it better. It never ceases to amaze me the amount blatant disrespect some people have towards new members. We were all new at some point and time. Anyway, I just received my GS3 a week ago. By popular vote, I flashed Blazer 1.7. So far I'm loving it. It allows me to experience a custom Rom but still keeping the stock feel. If that's what your looking for then go with Blazer. Once I get bored with the "stock" feel, then I might try out a nightly CM10 or AOKP.

Enjoy your newly rooted device. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

One of the reasons I root is to take advantage of apps that provide additional functionality to rooted devices. I especially wanted Cerberus, and Tasker. I also use ROM Toolbox Pro. You can read up on these apps in the PlayStore or just Google them. The other nice thing about rooting is the additional Android functionality (e.g. I have the GoogleNow hack installed so that I can use GoogleNow. I would recommend that you try these.
