[android] Samsung Galaxy S3 - Which ROM do you use?

[LosOjos]

I've finally got around to rooting my S3 after about a year of ownership and I realised that I'm way out of touch with the ROM scene.

 

So, which ROM do you lot use?

 

I've got Paranoid Android on at the moment and I must say, I'm loving the ability to scale apps, Chrome for instance is much better scaled to tablet size, really makes much better use of the S3's massive screen.

While I don't have an S3, I am running Cyanogenmod (CyanogenMod | Android Community Rom based on Jelly Bean) on my HTC Desire HD. My phone only runs the mod up to version 7.2 but looks like the S3 has support for the latest build of 10.1. It's a well built, all rounded mod. Worth looking through the site and studying the features.

 

Link to the international S3 (19300): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/I9300_Info

 

There are 9 S3 versions listed under devices so that link may not be the correct one.

Yeah I remember CM from back when I still had my Desire

 

The ROM I'm using atm is based on CM actually (from what I gather, most are!)

Why not head over to xda-developers.com and get back into the rooting =)

This for me: [ROM][4.2.2][AOKP/CM/PA] GT-I9300 Vanilla RootBox [21/05][v4.0][DEVELOPMENT THREAD] - xda-developers

 

Been running the nightlies for a few months now and always been pretty solid.

I'm running the latest CyanogenMod nightly, not overly impressed as the screen on time is under an hour and a half before the battery is dead so i may try what @Domino has suggested as i like the bare bones Android roms.
