Im currently using the latest Archidroid rom, its based on the Sammy rom, and i must admit coupled with the nova launcher the phone is back to its best.

I wanted sure stability as I had a friends wedding coming up and just wanted it to 'work' ironical the camera app crashed and I had to reboot the phone to fix it...
Will go for 11 tomorrow I think
Does 11 need the kernel file as well? Or just the rom?

If you're not bothered about flashing kernels, you can just flash CM and be done. CM comes with it's own kernel
To be honest though, if you wanted camera stability you should have stuck with a Samsung rom
That's the only reason I'm tempted to switch back.If people are trying out CM11/Omni, definitely try Temasek's CM11. It's a combination of both with loads of subtle mods.
I'm about to try Ultima Rom 16. I was on v15 for a while and it was pretty decent!
Looks like it's a fully AOSP themed 4.3 build. http://ultimarom.com/

Trying out Ultima Rom at the moment. Pretty good for those of you that want a Samsung 4.3 rom with light aosp theming.

Just installed Temasek's CM11 on my gf's S3 and so far, I prefer my OmniRom to hers
Occasional force closes, which then prevents you from using the camera at all until you restart. Happens more when you use other apps that use the camera, like snapchat etc.
Also, I'm still convinced the quality is better with the Samsung rom. It must be doing different post processing.
My wife got the Note 3 just before Christmas so I purchased her the Samsung case with the window - quite flash but now she finally has a phone with a useable screen (came from an iphone ) she wants to put the phone in the car mount but if you flip the case it thinks it is closed so changes the screen. What cases do people use with their note as I think i'm going to need to ebay this one and get her something a little more useful.

Got 11 on now, seems good but a bit harder to get to grips with than 10.2, I can't even add another page to my homescreen yet!
The love/hate android cycle continues, every other week there's a new 'must try' ROM out

If you want to add a page, just drag an icon to the right hand edge of the screen and it'll add automatically
Or use Nova Launcher and do it the old fashioned way

After a quick look,
you phone is awake for 4 hrs and screen on is only 1.5hrs. You phone has a few wakelocks that need sorting.
2 things you can do - NLP Wakelock is to do with google services, delete the data and cache on Google play services, uninstall updates, then reinstall after reboot. Also clear data on Google services framework (before the reboot).
Power manager service can sometimes be fixed with a reboot and battery pull for a few mins.
