So I have been trying to decide if I should root this phone and put Cyanogenmod on it (been a fan since CM6). This is my 4th Android phone and it has drastically improved the experience on everyone, (G1, G2, S2, and now S4 of course). But this is the first time the stock ui has not driven me nuts. 4.3 TW has been pleasant so far. What REAL benefits have you guys seen from ditching the stock rom? Your replies are much appreciated.

Fun to play with kitkat. Can't think of a missed feature I use. More productivity with Cm.

My motto is: "if it's not broke don't fix it". I used to be content with aosp Roms and cyanogenmod/aoko etc. But this version of touchwiz is usable for me as well. I've personally gone back to pure stock and custom aosp Roms and have been bored now. The developers here have added a lot to the touchwiz ROM so I find them to be great now. I'm mostly about customization and now tw has what I want so I'm satisfied.

I'd say the only thing I really miss is being able to change tracks with the volume while the display is off. So much safer when driving, this should be standard on all android builds.

Simple, I would like to know how many of you went back to stock ROM after 4.1.2 was released. I tried a couple of ROMs that had the update included and I was having so many data drops, SOD, Google server disconnections that I said "**** this" and flashed the latest factory image on my phone.
My previous phone was a Motorola Atrix. That phone never received ICS, much less JB update. It made sense to unlock it and flash a tasty JB ROM even if it had bugs. I strongly believe this phone is better on stock firmware than custom. It just feels so much solid.
Did 4.1.2 made you return to stock?

I'm using cm10 nightly (updated 1 time per week, unless I found a problematic bug) and everything is good, so no point for going to stock (for me, of course).

Your issues aren't ROM issues. You have radio issues and that could likely be simply a firmware bug or an actual hardware fault. Update your radios and report back.

Yea I'm on Slim bean 4.1.2 with zero issues. Stock does give best user experience, but that should be expected, i like the customization this rom gives me, so I'm rocking it, very great performance as well..

It used to be stock for me, but I found trebuchet smoother than stock launcher recently (Stock is good but I noticed quite irritating choppiness in app drawer that doesn't exist at all in trebuchet), so it's either cm10 or since yesterday Dark PA for me!
About MIUI, version from 1012 (theme - suave) was choppy as hell on my handset. Lag was especially evident on notification pulldown...it basically hurt my eyes. Hopefully it seems to be gone in last build (1019)
No I am using a CM10 based ROM. Very snappy.
No reason for me to go back to stock. Codename Android 3.8.0 works fine for me with Trinity A67 kernel. With stock I wouldn't have nearly as much customization options as with CNA.
Using miui 4.1.2 and loving it!

Now I got a nexus 4 so I dont really know much about this phone. She complains that it lags a lot.. She's got a rogers s3 that I already rooted and cwm.. She wants something similar to stock, that's smoother then stock. With better battery. She doesn't need any of the fancy stuff like CM ROM
Any suggestions? I'd like to give her a stable ROM that won't have any issues

Personal preference I would wait for AOKP 4.2 to release soon.

As a long time user of Scotts Rom for the Galaxy Note 2, I continue to be absolutely impressed with his talents, tenacity towards refining his builds and how great they run. Nothing fancy, just the smoothest, de bloated as close to stock as you can get without all that att nastiness.
He does not own an ATT S3 and thus that to me is a major bummer.
So in speaking with Scott, he has fully committed to building his amazing roms for the ATT S3. My reason for this, I recently bought my wife an S3 and would like to have his work on her phone.
He has already done an amazing job with developing a rom for the Verizon S3 which you can see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832070
First, take a look at the amazing feedback he gets for the Note 2, 475 pages of positivity
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986893
There is a direct link to donate and the funds go directly to him.
http://www.gofundme.com/scottsroms-ATT-S3-Fund
We are hoping to get $550 so he can buy it straight out. In return we get what will probably be one of the best S3 roms out there today. And his long term commitment to refine this rom just like he does with the Note2
Lets make this happen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish this would have happened a long time ago. Loved his ROMs on the HTC one x. Wish I could help but all my donations go to task. If he came over I would throw down something for when I need a change from AOKP would love love to have him here awesome dev

Scott has the fastest, most battery eff. clean roms I,ve seen. I am currently using his rom on my note 2 and would love to have this on my wifes s III. He develops roms for many devices, including the verizon s iii, but needs the att s iii to test and develop for us.. Check out his threads on the att and verizon note 2 and verison s iii devloper threads and see how others praise him for his work. If you want the most stable battery eff. rom available help us get the att s iii. Scott made the commitment to develop for this phone but can't affford to buy it just for us. If interested check the link above on OP, if enough people get on board it wouldn't cost us much each and would be well worth it.
Might as well give it a shot.

Does he build off touchcrap ROMs or from Google source. If he just modifies stock ROM it can't be good. Touch wiz just sucks overall no one can make it good. Lol

If it's features your looking for then TW is the answer. If it's customization then aosp. TW will never be as customizable as aosp and aosp will never have the features of TW. You apparently love customization. I live my features.

Nothing really. They are all based on stock roms and there is only so much one can do with it.

Sounds interesting but my love belongs to task.
Why do all cm10 based roms have so many problems and why do they all look the same ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
What are all the problems? There are quiet a few new ones but many very stable. Someone correct me if I am wrong'but I believe most all use cm as a base ROM. Each has there own features and functions.
I have zero issues with dastins cm, kts AOKP, snipers PAC or PAC in black, gave carbon, slim, and pretty much every other ROM a test drive no issues. Personally I keep going back to PAC love all the features .
It's not hard to flash them, see what fits your desires hardest part, well longest is downloading them and playing with settings. I find myself only staying on one for a few days at a time. Nothing wrong with the ROMs but rather enjoying playing with them and seeing what new goodies they bring to the table.
EDIT: that's kind of like saying all tw ROMs look the same they all have tons of hours of work put into them themed and tweaked to the designers liking but cuz its all tw they all look the same. Just my two cents...

I downloaded a couple of cm based roms and had problems with them and they all kind of look the same tw has some roms that look totally different I was not trying to bash anything I know it takes a long time to make one. I was just wondering if they had something other than cm or tw I am on tw now and I dont have any problems at all just a question thanks

They all look similar because they are AOSP, the same OS you would see on a Nexus product, and not a skinned manufacturer based ROM like Touchwiz, Sense, Blur...

Aaaaaaaaaand that's a wrap. Your question has been answered (undeservingly), and if you would have searched a little more, your answer would have came to you.
I've read a lot of good things about paranoid android rom and I can't decide if I want to switch from cm to it or not. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Dude, it's 100% subjective. Like asking what color should be your favorite. Especially right now, since 4.4 was just released. Try them out & decide which works for YOU. There are 1,000's of review videos if you want to see features & hear opinions.
Personally, I'm sticking with stock for awhile. Then I'll use PA, once it is significantly different from stock, which right now none of them really are, unless you want a 4.3 version. Plus, I prefer AOSP over CAF, so I dumped CM a while ago.
