Finally rooted and flashed my phone!

[mrtinydave]

So after having my phone a little over a year I took the plunge. And it was way easier than I expected. Used casual root to root and unlock the bootloader. And I am using MOAR which is based on 4.3. Its amazing so far!! I waited so long cause I wanted to be out of my year factory warranty. And the only thing I found that didn't work was the camera app but I just got a different one from the play store. Any suggestions on good ROMs would be greatly appreciated!!

TouchWiz (like MOAR) type ROMs : Popular ones like the People's ROM and Wicked Sensations.
As for AOSP, you can run Cyanogen, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, SlimROM, or LiquidSmooth.

Thanks for the reply and the suggestions. I really look forward to seeing what this phone can really do!! I hate that I waited so long but wanted to be out of warranty first.

Just remember to clear cache, reset the phone and only get ROMs for your exact model and carrier.

Funny, I just went back to stock (unrooted).

For another option, you can look at CarbonRom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136840

If you're just looking for a low bloat factor and real reliable ROM, try CleanROM Seven. It's kind of like stock 4.1.2 (with Multiwindows, of course), only more reliable, and very little of the Verizon/Samsung bloat. It cuts your battery usage as a result, and when combined with Lean Kernel, it cuts battery usage even more. Really useful on a day-to-day basis.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!! That's my main concern is the hit on my battery with any ROM I'm gonna flash

What were you running when you took the plunge? And what method did you use? I'm considering as well.
