Looking for a good ROM

Hey guys, how are you?
I bought my SGS3 a few month ago. Since than I've been constantly looking for the best ROM.
I want a ROM with very good battery life, and I also want it to run smoothly.
Version 4.1.2 or above.
Also, if a kernel is necessary please tell me which kernel to use.
Thank you very much,
Orel/Xeiss.

What phone did you had before? I've currently a iPhone 4S and I'm looking to get a galaxy s3 because I'm sick of apple -.- was it easy getting used to? I also plan to install a custom rom as my old HTC was rooted

Unfortunately best ROM threads are banned on XDA and this will be locked shortly , the reason being a certain ROM might be good for you may not be good for someone else.
All as you will be told is to go and try many different one and see which Is best for you.
Good luck.

I've had a Mini Galaxy before (Not the one that was just released)
I personally prefer Android than iOS. It wasn't really hard to get used to, In 1-3 days you'll become a master
If someone would suggest me to get an iPhone 5 instead of my SGS3, he won't live anymore
Ho watch some YouTube videos and decide. Good luck!
BTW thabka for telling me Motogp1, I'll do it. Moderators, if you can please lock this thread without banning me if would be great, I'm new here and I really don't want to get a ban right off the bed Thanks.
Just another last question, what's the difference between the forums Android Development, and Original Android Development?

I would suggest starting with "Android Development" section for ROMs. Try them and find which suits you best.

Here you go!
Ultima rom v7.1 ( official 4.1.2)
Use it with persues kernel 29.1
Below are my results!
You're welcome.

Best advice anyone can give a newbie is to read first, had the op done so he would have seen these threads are prohibited and also a waste of time.

You can try Ultima ROM. It looks and feels good.
You may try siyah, perseus,boeffla, galaxsih kernel and suit yourself.
Also look for wanam's deodexed stock roms.

Took me about a week to get used to from iPhone was rooted trying custom roms very easy but figured I didn't need all that so now just on stock 4.1.2 and loving it battery life is great.

[Q] Best rom

okay I have the Nexus 7 and I am looking for the best rom the most stable smoothest with tablet mode if available I have tried smoothrom ,paranadroid in on droid but I'm not I'm satisfied so if anybody could recommend a new rom for me and that 1 that's table and frequently updated.sorry voice to text errors
Sent from nexus 7 rooted

my advice:
take time to read the forum rules, before someone fight you away!

I don't know how much you've used xda but people get really pissed about these posts. My advice is read the rules and watch what you post. But to answer your question (and what the mod will probably say) you have to try different roms because everyone has their own favorites and their opinion on best.

Sorry will do

Did not mean anything just asking am new to root and wondering how to choose my own kernel using any ROM without limitations if that is possible some don't work together or am i making a mistake ..sorry again for misleading post.

Asking what the best rom is is like asking what's my favorite food to a random stranger. I would say you go to the Android development or Original development sections because all of the roms are there. Also, it depends on preference really, some roms offer customizability, while others are offering smoothness. Still, it is up to you.

I really like mlaws dirty ROMs they are stable fast and have all the current mods kernels and gapps all in one package.
Read around and see what ROMs have features you find useful try it if you don't like it flash another, but I would at least test it for a day or so .

The best way to find a rom, is to read the Rom threads, and find one that works for you.
Everybody has different opinions, and different roms work better on different devices.
Also, Best Rom threads are Taboo at XDA

looking for a reliable AOSP rom

I am looking for a reliable AOSP rom. im not tryint to start an arguement about who thinks what is better i appreciate all devs and the work they put into their roms. I just am sick of TW and really want to get back to AOSP but with all of the 4.4.2 roms out now their are a lot of issues are there any roms that you guys recommend? (4.3?) Things that i need are MMS and Netflix. Thanks again. And again not wanting to start any arguments.

Everyone has their own opinions and preferences. And each device is different. It's better for you to try it out yourself and find out which one you like. I believe this thread will be lock any time now.

Suggestions for a ROM? Android 4.4.2

I was on SACS ROM but it wasn't compatible much with ktoonsez kernel.
I went to cyanogenmod and I'm getting 4 hours screen time with ktoonsez, however I like the features of touchwiz and I liked the ui a bit more (when using s5 themed ROMs, I despise old touchwiz),
So I'm looking for a smooth touchwiz ROM android 4.4.2 that is compatible with ktoonsez kernel
I'm currently on NAE modem

Recommendation threads always get shut down because people begin to say "so and so" ROM is the smoothest or the best. When the fact is there is no best ROM. Try out the other TW Roms that catch your attention and if you don't like it you can restore an older ROM you liked.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Ugh I hope it doesn't, I know there isn't a best ROM, just the fact is that I only found negalite, pacman, sac, and cyanogenmod, and I don't like all of them but I did like sacs, it just had a lot of bugs

try this thread,its a nice list of roms for the s4 i used it to compare before i chose.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303917

XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

Please - do not compare ROMS on here. I know that you have good intentions but it's against the spirit of XDA. Every dev here is doing their best for free and for learning.
The thing is, that how good ROMS are is a subjective matter. I think you should open the original Android subforum and check the various ROMS. There you can also see if a ROM has bugs or if it's stable and draw your very own conclusion!
I hope this helps!

I know "stable" and "best" when it comes to ROM's are always subjective, but I think it's still fair to ask to get a quick general consensus.
To the OP, I'd go with Madhi or SlimKat personally.

Hello
I need suggestion regarding Rom i want stable Rom with not many apps simple not like stock extra appliation
so will you people suggest me to install which confused too may Roms...

There is no such thing as a "best/most stable/... ROM". Just head over to the dev sections, test a few and then decide for yourself
