Right now I'm looking at all the different ROMs to flash. Which ones are the most stable and have most things working?

Heres the link to the cm10 nightlies and the cm10 stable that I recommend. The stable is just that, stable no issues. Dont forget to back your phone first. Titanium backup up work's great.

Thanks I've heard a lot about cm10 ill probably try it out later today. I'm using twerp as recovery and backed it up with that. Does that work the same as titanium or do I need to use that also?

You could make a nandroid with busy box installer just to be safe...

Titanium backup backs up your apps,pictures, music etc. on your phone.

I hope u are aware that when rooting, it takes away all Samsung features (Kies Air, All Share, WiFi Direct, and possibly gestures)

 

[Expydude]

Yeah I used wifi direct twice and never used any of the other stuff so I should be good
