Trade s3 for nexus?

Yes I was! So really, you cant see the black box in my sig that says BAMF?

No I cant lol.

How's battery life? Is it good. My battery now is decent its not horrible but it can be a lot better. My phone also gets hot very quickly. I'm assuming a rom won't help with that
 
Try mmuzzy jro03l . Its on xda. Runs very cool and sips battery. Probably the best battery I ever got out of my nexus. The downside is its basically stock.

Ahh, now I get it! Sorry about that! I'm running BAMF Paradigm with franco.kernel and I'm getting really good battery and actually for some reason my phone doesnt get nearly as hot!

For me that's not a downside. I like my phone to be as stock as possible. I love the way the nexus looks I don't want any extras on it. I'll check out this and the bamf rom as well. Bamf had a good reputation with the thunderbolt!

Bamf has been great, not one issue. They have a few really nice extras but not some overwhelming amount. The things I use are the additional lock screen targets and when long pressing the power button, you get a "reboot" option. That's all I need! :biggrin:

If you like stock, try Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast. I've been running it for over a week now and its rock solid. Runs ice cold and has incredible battery life.

Here's the thread: http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/9621-[ROM][JB][ICS][AOSP]-Bugless-Beast

That thread can be confusing, here's the direct download page. Scroll all the way to the bottom for the latest JB ROM. http://download.peteralfonso.com/toro/rom

I was running jellybelly for weeks and it is certainly based off the stock ROM. There are themes you can use to change it up like I did but other than that its pretty much stock with better performance all around

I dunno man, Jake is very dedicated to JellyBelly, but didn't you get sick of his "fixes?" I ran it for a long time and it seems every time he "fixed" something, he broke something else. I definitely wouldn't recommend JellyBelly to a noob, he's better off sticking to something that's stable.

This is a good point, I have been on JB since 1.x. It seemed more stable in the 3.x -4.x days (about 3 weeks ago, lol). Its now up to 6.3 and new stuff comes out everyday. i wouldn't recommend it to someone who is new to flashing, but it is still a very good rom. That said I have been thinking about trying something new and BB is sounding like a smooth, stable stock-llike alternative to JB. How often does Peter push updates out?
