Hawkish Premium ROM



 Hawkish Premium promises "performance, speed and stability" and I can vouch for all of these from my time with it, barring a slight wobble it threw during an extended Spotify session that required a battery-removing restart (to its credit, the music never stopped, until I pulled the plug).
Like many of its stablemates, it rips out much of the Samsung stuff, though less than some of the others, opting to keep the Samsung app store. Still, the screens zip around speedily as Jelly Bean should, and the battery life, 10 hours into a hefty day involving calls, texting, 3G Spotify and Internet browsing, was still hovering around the 60 per cent mark -- perfectly respectable.
As with all of the ROMs included in this round-up, there are plenty of customisation options available for the curious, but the minimalistic default is quite tasteful and free of clutter -- the perfect antidote to Samsung's default options.

Features:


- Based on the lastest official firmware (no wipe)
- Rooted stock kernel
- Zipalined & deodexed & highly compressed
- Multi CSC
- Hardware Acceleration Enabled (GPU UI Enabled)
- Framework and applications optimized
- added new performance commands & scripts in framework.jar (refresh system response)
- Init.d
- applications zipaligned on every boot
- Ram management tweaks
- build.prop tweaks
- SD-card speed tweaks
- Sqlite3 & ext4 tweak
- scrolling optimized
- Applications updated
- call recording + no increasing ring
- no sms log + no mms converted
-* mooded browser with unlimited tab
- * mooded camera with high bitrate
- mooded google maps (all countries navigation)
- Extended power menu
- Crt off animation
- Stock theme with HD effect

- * not included in DL7

Energy HD 2.0


Energy HD 2.0 is a ROM that promises a streamlined, simple interface (in other words, taking a hacksaw to the Samsung apps bolted on by default), that's tweaked for better battery life and performance.
On the surface, that's exactly what it delivers. An almost completely blank home screen greets the eye on boot-up, but you can put most of the jetissoned apps back in if there are any you miss. In my time with it, I felt they'd gone overboard with removing the bloatware -- some of the most useful widgets have been taken out, including a big old clock for the home screen. Not that it's hard to find these on the Google Play store, of course, but it's worth noting.
Battery life was impressive (it dropped to just 66 per cent battery in 18 hours, afternoon to morning), and performance was as zippy as promised. Also, one small superficial thing I really liked was the space for five apps per row on each home screen, which allows you to cram a huge amount of content onto the screen. I like.

Cyanogen Mod (Galaxy S3)

CyanogenMod, now in version 10 and supporting a huge range of Android handsets, is one of the most popular ROMs around. The S3 ROM isn't listed on the main website but it's available for download.

Despite not being shouted about too widely on its site, I found it to be a really good experience on the S3 -- completely stable, without any crashes in my time with it, and offering a good taste of the Jelly Bean life.

The clean, snazzy interface is by default reminiscent of the Google Nexus 7, but it has a lot more going for it, including a wide range of theming options and OpenVPN for making secure network connections. Phone

Goggles promises to filter selected phone numbers for times when you need to be left in peace, such as blocking your mum from calling you about the cat during a work meeting.

On top of this, the smooth performance made it a joy to use and the battery life wasn't bad either. On a day of using Spotify, calling, texting and 3G Internet browsing, my S3 still had 26 per cent battery left when it was plugged back into the wall -- over 16 hours after being disconnected.
