Hello xda developers.
I'm Ben, I'm new to these forums and I've not modded a phone for a few years now, however I've just bought a Galaxy s3 and I would like to install a custom ROM. Would you folks be so kind as to offer me a suggestion or two based on some loose criteria?
What I am looking for is a light rom with all/most of the bloatware gone but with maybe a few extra visuals and themes, you know...some good old eye candy. I'm after that balance between the two I suppose. Can anyone point me in the direction of an installation guide also?
I do realise I can find this info for myself but I'm lazy, plus I thought I'd say my hello's and ask a question or two instead hehe
Many thanks in advance
Hey,
All needed info can be found on FAQ thread and stickies.
And there is no recommended/best Rom- everyone has different taste depending on their needs. You can find what you need in 'android development'
PS- welcome, and be prepared for thread closing in 3..2..1...

These kinda questions will be better served by Google, so search for it with there and you will get loads of guides and tutorial . You can even search xda for the same
#*posted on the move *#
Im asking here because the best developers are here.
I dont want detail tutorial only programs and few steps to start.

Best bet is to check google still (it has tutorials and/or how to begin) or possibly contacting some devs who MIGHT be willing to help. Most devs dont even really check out Q/A section.
Hi guys I haven't found a topic yet where to find an installation guide for the first release candidate of CM9
I'm new to roms installation and I was looking for a detailed guide or someone that explain me how to...
I'm running a stock kernel, a stock rooted rom (ics 4.0.3 xwlp7) and I haven't installed the Cwm I have it in the internal storage memory and I have to flash it every time I need to use it
That's all
My questions are:
I need a particular kernel? How to change it?
I need Cwm installed or I can leave it like it is now?
I need doing or I can just flash it from the device?
Thanks

Well, I think if you can't figure out the answers using the search function, and opening a thread for this in the original development section it would be better not to install CM9...
Have you even tried to Google that? C'mon, there are so many guides out there! Don't be that lazy! Oh, and next time write in the right section.

Use the noob proof odin method. After that you may update to a nightly of your choice (or rc1)...

I don't think you should be flashing ROM's if you don't know how to even get CyanogenMod on your phone.

Read and figure it out on your own. If you don't, you're going to be dependent on other people the whole time you do anything to your device. It's your device, do some research on your own.

Typing in all caps is not helping you get your point across.
This is a community, yes. But it's supposed to be a community of developers and hackers. Or at the very least, people who come here wanting to research and learn. But since everyone and their mother now joins and expects to have information spoon-fed to them, it's become a community, as you said, of "users"; i.e. people who simply use.
My point - the information you were seeking could have been found with a search. Rule #1 of the forum rules is:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

Hell, the instructions for installing CM9 are - surprise, surprise, in the CM9 thread. The same thread that had links to download it. You clearly were able to find it to download it, so did you just skip over the instructions on how to flash?
Give this a read.
Writing in caps doesn't solve anything, you were told what you should have been told, not to discourage you but to save you bricking your phone.
If you can't read few stickies, can't read few threads, that's what you will get.
Read them, than ask and you will be surprised how many will actually help you.
i was not doing controversy, caps was not intended (working i have to use it)
I was just saying that if someone needs help you could at least direct it in the right direction, instead of always criticizing that's all I know how to use the "search" but obviously I did not have any clear answers to my questions that's why I opened a topic in hopes of getting answers. I've had no answers, I had to assume and tests.
fortunally everything went well
Its suppose to be a community of android developers (note: The name of this website!!!)
No one is required to help another person, they choose to help. Some people were nice enough to post guides, faq and etc. The majority of all questions or problems asked has an answer or solution posted. It is the responsibility of the user to search and read them.
Any new users should read the stickies FIRST before posting. Every one of your questions has answers in the stickies. If people dont bother reading guides and faqs, they have a higher chance of ruining their phone.
As you said, there was a guide, you followed it and solved it yourself. Why didnt you simply search for it, BEFORE you posted this.
Did a bit of a search, couldn't find anything like this for the Samsung Galaxy S3... question is simple - what is your favourite ROM for the Galaxy S3, and why?
Until some of the recent Jelly Bean ROMs from Samsung have leaked, my favourite has been Cyanogenmod 10 nightlies. As much as I love the Google Experience with AOSP, I can't deny that Samsung have done a freaking good job on their Jelly Bean ROMs. I'm currently using the latest Omega v22 ROM and it's amazing. Some of the features in it are really breathtaking, and they have really make a good effort to make it easy to use for the end user, which doesn't help me, but it's a step in the right direction.
So what is your favorite ROM right now and why?
This kind of thread is not allowed on xda.
Best ROM is an personal thing.
Reported, so no need for anyone else to post here.

Sorry about that, didn't realise that it's against forum rules? Care to link where it says that? I've seen them in different device threads...

Look through the forum and see all the locked best ROM threads.
They bring out fanboys and can end up as flame wars.
I don't know where it says it in the rules, I just know that they aren't allowed here.

Closed, try them for yourself and make up your own mind.
If you had searched you would have noticed many closed threads like this.
Hey guys, I have been checking some ROMs online and have found two interesting ones.
Ultima ROM and FoxHound ROM
I would like to get your opinion as to which one is better performance-wise, battery-wise, and feature-wise. Or just general pros/cons of eachr
If you haven't tried it out I would still like to get your opinion since the S3 will be my first android phone
Best rom what rom posts are against the rules.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I've used both but Ultima has been the best for me. Battery, performance and has the greatest customisation with the aroma installer. You get to choose what you want installed or don't want. So its totally custom. The dev support is great too. Regular communication and updates.
WanamLite, Omega, Foxhound, Hyperlight. I rotate between these 4. The rest can go away
There's no "best" rom for obvious reasons we all have differing expectations, I used to use FH 1.3 (ICS) and loved it but when the switch to JB came around I found it didn't quite live up to the other roms around so even when you think you've found the perfect rom always be prepared to try new ones.
This is headed for a thread close very soon.
But to answer your question, I can only offer an opinion and that is in my sig .

Pointless and childish thread !
But first of all is against rules !
I request to be closed and deleted !

This is a thread asked for opinions Between two popular roms. People who used both of them can have their comments regarding them. Nothing is wrong with that.

You're dead wrong there, this is a thread to ask people which ROM is better, hence the title.
That is against the rules.
Having an opinion leads to a discussion as to what is the better ROM, people will disagree and bring up good and bad points about each rom, which like I said is against forum rules.
Saying that I'm surprised its still open.
To put things into perspective, I'll answer your question by asking another. What's better football or snooker?

Hi lads
Im looking for a good sammy Rom that is clean and debloated with no s3, s4 or note feature ports.
The Rom threads is quite a mess so I can't properly find a Rom
Can you guys suggest me a good stable and longlife Sammy Rom?
Ps. I dont aka for the best etc etc. Just suggestions.

Doesn't matter. Rom recommendation threads are forbidden as well. Read some rom threads & try some roms like everyone else ($100 says mods close this thread soon-ish).
"Recommendation" threads are the same deal as "best rom" threads. Sooner or later, they all snowball into arguments over someone's personal choice and opinions. Hence, we close them down.
If you do want some advice, I suggest you take a look at all the "features" of the rom. Usually, if they have any ported stuff, it'll be explicitly mentioned.
