    Froze some of the bloatware and backed up all my apps with Titanium Backup. My device runs great not going to mess with custom roms (yet).

    [MOD] 15 Toggle Mod in blue for the VZW S3

    The 2 methods I used to disable the Wifi pestering were:

    SQLite (needs root) - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770622

    AnyCut -

    Use both.

    You can also just flash Synergy because everything (besides the AnyCut trick) is cooked into the ROM

    And I'll plug Bean's ROM, very easy to set up and it gives you 50GB of dropbox access to boot

    1. Root the device using any method you desire (I went with the Windows app that does it for you, took me about a minute)

    2. Install EZ-Recovery and flash the CWM 6.0.1.0 recovery (this is important, it MUST be the 6.0.1.0)

    3. Download Bean's ROM (I found the link at XDA)

    4. Boot into recovery and wipe your data/cache/davlik cache and format the system

    5. install the Zip

    6. Profit

    I've only avoided Bean's because the volume of issues in the official thread seem rather copious. Don't get me wrong, Synergy is not perfect. In fact I'm still waffling between it and stock.

    Hmm bean isn't perfect as well but I really wanted the 50gb in dropbox

    Might switch over to synergy if the phone fails testing this weekend while on bean

    It's been decent all day with just a couple small glitches

    Installed Light Flow

    Installed the (missing) wifi notification panel widget and changed the Samsung green hilights/battery icon to ICS blue.

    Installed Nova launcher (don't need root for that, but to get widgets to show up in the app drawer you do).

    Nothing to hard core, made a complete backup, removed the WiFi ongoing notification, and flashed a simple .zip giving a WiFi toggle and changing the toggles and battery to blue.

    I came back to stock, the battery life on synergy wasn't very impressive (could be an issue caused by TiBU).

    Supposedly, once you create a dropbox account on Bean's, you can use it from any ROM for the next 2 years

    hehehe, figured that one out too

    thanks for the tip on synergy, I definitely still feel Bean's ROM was snappier but it was definitely laced with freezing and crashes

    Battery life on synergy on the re-flash has been comparable to stock, maybe a tiny bit better
