Here's a little poll to inform the unknown on why you choose your specific rom. With so many roms out there I thought this might be beneficial to some of you users out there who are a little indecisive.
So go on Galaxy S3 users let us know what you're using and why
Wanamlite
I'm using Wanamlite 6.7 as I find it quick, good on battery and with the support for boeffla sound mod and stweaks it kinda works perfectly for me
Gorgoid ROM! its the slimmest rom out there. Rock solid and fast. I use jkay theme to get it looking just as I like it although stock look is good. Dev is very responsive, really pleased with it.

hi all,
Because I am not a developer, and I want to share my feedback about this ROM Sotmax v10
I used to use this ROM:
And it was great, and stable, until I face an issue with the galaxy stopped working: error, after that I said, let more to the official 4.1.2 Samsung GS3 rooted ROM and I chose this:
My feedback:
I am a daily drive user, who keeps running in social apps, turning wifi on/off depends on the place also the signal will be 3g/gsm dpends on the signal strength.
The phone is amazing, it was little girlish at the beginning after installing the ROM, and after that it runs smooth and amazing.
The battery is superb like the stock phone, it feed my phone like more than 15 hours.
The Note II specs are working great and nice
Everything is great in this ROM, and I never face any issue with gallery or the camera as I did in (CM10 and the previous one: )
If you really look for a ROM which is looks like the original of SGS3, I recommend to use this ROM, honesty I didn’t use the OMEGA ROM, because I like the transparent options this Sotmax has.
I tried my best to give you a summarized feedback, and I wish I have done a good one
Yet another pointless post .
jje
Great feedback and I agree because I use thisnrom myself but I only use v9.
But I do also agree with JJE that just you putting you feedback is a pointless reason to start a thread.
But maybe if it was a General Feedback thread for this rom for other users to leave there Feedback also then maybe this thread would be better.

MODS: No, please don't close this yet. This is not a "Best ROM" thread in my opinion. I've tried my fair share of ROM's, I'm just curious what ROM people prefer and what kind of aspects of a ROM people prefer. Same for kernels. So it's not about finding the best, it's about what people like, and why. It interests me. Still don't agree? Well then we have different opinions and you can close the thread.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SO, back to the thread. The title says it all. If you would choose a ROM and kernel for daily use, what would you use? Would you pick X because it's easy to use, has great battery life and a minimal design, is built with the Samsung framework etc? Or would you pick Y because you can fiddle with things, it has lots of special apps and is incredibly stable, is based on AOSP/AOPK, etc?
I'm just curious about your preferences, type away!
DO NOT START ARGUMENTS! You are inherently wrong for starting one because people stating a preference can't be wrong for having that preference. So if you start an argument, you're by default an idiot. Don't be an idiot. It's simple.

Why are you like that... Don't be so negative man. I know what kind of ROM and kernel I need and I download+edit my ROMs/kernels accordingly. If I change my opinion, I change my kernel/ROM.
Ok then, me for example:
I bought my new SGSIII and first flashed the very popular Siyah kernel. However, I don't like being mainstream Then I used Speedmod for a while because it's a very stable and battery saving kernel, but I was missing the tweaks and OC/UV. It's also based on pegasusq while I prefer lulzactiveq. Now I'm trying Perseus, still seeing what I can do with that.
As a ROM I'm using DarkyROM, but it's a bit too heavy for my liking. I'm going to use VikingWay since that's very light, and I'll see what happens. I've also got Complex-D lined up for testing. I don't really use AOSP ROMs because I love Sammy's camera and agenda software (yeah I really do like them ) and I can't use those on AOSP ROMs.
Rom preference threads never end well.

OMG this again?
When will people learn?
Crdroid is just a great rom loads of customisations.
Perseus kernel is a goos choice for my performance and battery life.
Good idea with this thread

Hi
I want a rom that would have all the following:
- themes
- expanded desktop
- navigation bar heigh changer
- tablet interface
- i dont want to update my n7 every few days. I want a stable rom.
Whitch rom is the fastest and can offer good battery life along with these features? As you see i am just a regular user and dont search for anything too fancy.
I have tried P.A rom (was fun to play with but performance was slowierd than stock), P.A.C (it was so fast but battery life was bad) and tons of other roms that only confused me...

There are a lot of ROMs that are stable and quick, I'm running pacman and its stable, give it a try! the things you wanted are available in lots of ROMs and the performance and battery usage is effected a lot by which kernel you choose to run with your ROM.
I'm running pacman ROM with m-kernel and pretty happy, but this best is to just flash and try it for yourself, hope this helps.......
"Best rom" posts are not allowed on xda. You are encouraged to try the available roms and decide which is best for you. Nobody can tell you which is best for you, because only you know how you use your device. Mods always close these threads pretty quickly.

Carbon and LiquidSmooth are both popular choices for a lightweight and customizable rom, which are (imo) almost as smooth as stock (Liquid is a fork of carbon). But as mentioned, there are many great choices out there, Xylon and XenonHD look pretty cool as well... Go try out and see which one fits your needs! :good:
Oh btw, you might wanna check this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151963
I think your question has been answered in the above posts but to make this clear, go to dev section, you will see many roms, what are you waiting for?!, start testing them and then decide what suits you better.

Hi,
I'm currently using CM11 which I really like, however with each release it seems to get more and more buggy for me, and my battery life has been awful lately.
My contract is up so a new phone is an option, however I'd like to try to get as much life out of my phone as possible because apart from the camera and battery the phone is pretty much perfect for me.
Are there any other ROMs I should look at? I'm not overly techy so something easy to install and as close to stock as possible would be great, but my main focus would definitely be stability, speed and battery.
Thanks
If you're looking for JB Rom, you can flash the official 4.3 stock Rom.
If you're looking for Kitkat Rom, I can recommend this, very stable and fast:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52753540
Thank you! Sorry I wasn't very clear with my post, KitKat is a must, and if I'm honest something with a clear and simple upgrade path to Android L with be a huge bonus too.
Blekota S5 Lite is an absolute beast of a rom if you tune it correctly. Since its a touchwiz rom you have to keep the launcher resident in the memory so there's none of that lag. Use boeffla kernel and you'll be coming back to this thread to thank me
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM / Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself. That is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,
and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.

Plz guys help to find good Rom for my S4 and without problems
Every rom is great, just try them and read a little in the threads to find the one that fits you
I prefer that you should stick to stock-based Roms because they are more stable than AOSP, MIUI, etc. Every Rom has their sets of issues just as us humans, we are not perfect. We have to overlook acceptable problems such as occasional and minimal lags or delays, but not the significant problems such as wifi connectivity, bluetooth problems, cellular data/signal problem, FCs, quick battery drain, extreme overheating, and etc.
So there is this stock-based rom that I use, called Imperium Rom v.12 by Slim80 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-imperium-ll-v1-0-t3046889 It is the most stable Rom I have ever used as of now and I like to make my S4 committed to it, not commiting adultery with other roms anymore. Don't limit yourself by flashing an AOSP-based rom. The reason is the bugs that come with these AOSP roms and limited features compared to what I have been using now. Perhaps S4 is really meant to stick with its roots, not in the roots of others. So I suggest that you stick with a Touchwiz-based rom because of the premium features that AOSP doesn't have such as the amazing camera features, multi-window, great keyboard, and many more. Let the S4 grow in its roots.
I hope I could have helped you decide.
Note: This will be time-consuming, all of the flashing, organizing, and many other things. This can make us forget and ignore the existing human relationship we have now with families, friend, and the people around us and most importantly , the relationship we have with our Creator. Time is short. So I hope this android development thing will not interfere with the real priorities we have now for it had scrambled mine. So best wishes in Jesus' name.
Dirty Unicorn 9.8 or CM 12.1 SnapShot
For me i prefer Imperium Rom V12... Im also using albe95 note5 rom but still nothing compares with the original modified stockrom.. no lags, no bugs, smooth.. and the coolness whenever i play games.. especially when i play nba2k16, the temperature of my fone never changes..
PhoeniX Rom v11.6
I use PheoniX Rom (v11.6). And I think this is the best rom you can found at this moment for the galaxy s4. I am a flashaholic, so I tried every (TouchWiz) rom I could found here. But always come back to PhoeniX Rom. It is full of features, so that xposed is no more necessary (for me). The Battery life is also very good for our old device and everything is running smooth and fast. I use imperium Kernel and never had any issue with this awesome rom.

its based on Older Build :crying: OF2 thats the only issue.
Touchwiz Based Roms :
[ROM] Albe95 S6 FULL PORT 4.7 [S6/Edge FEATURE PORT]
CM Based ROMS: Dirty Unicorn 9.8 or CM 12.1 SnapShot
But this isn'^t the correct section.
Request Move please.
Albe95 Note 5 port and Imperium 12 are best that i have come upon.

Thx
For me i prefer Echoe ROM v5.0 wiht kernel echoe v5.7 ..stable for me
Indeed Imperium is one of the best tw ll based custom roms. But the only thing I don't understand is why Samsung themed lollipop so bright, although we all know that amoled screens have a better battery life with dark pixels. This question really bugs me.

Can Imperium (and Albe for that matter) be made to be dark all the way, ie how 4.4 was?

It's simple: they don't care
Sammy lollipop firmware is way below kk in terms of battery life. Also has more bugs, lag, etc
Edit: I think this thread should be moved into right section...
I found stock to be great but front camera works horrible on all of them. Aosp and cm roms give you better quality images and most likely better battery life too
its either Stock 5.0.1 (which is what i am on) or Imperium rom

You must be high or something.. everyone knows that AOSP based roms have terrible camera apps and horrible image quality.. Samsung camera app is way better.. and this is the only reason I can't stick to AOSP.. besides it gets boring after a while!
omega rom... period !!!
