How to make my phone faster and not get random lag?

AOSP just mean "Android Open Source Project", and are your vanilla Android ROMs that have no carrier UI (such as Samsung's TouchWiz) installed, similar to the OS found on Nexus devices. AOSP Roms include those like CyanogenMod and AOKP. Frankly, you can install one if you want, but you will lose most of the Samsung features. To each his own on that one. Frankly, this phone should run just fine on the stock OS or any other TouchWiz based ROM. I'm running CleanROM and my device is smoking...and battery life is phenomenal (see below).
If you really want to improve phone performance, all you should really need to do is a little spring cleaning. Remove apps that don't use anymore, or just those that are resource hogs that you can live without. Then, go into the apps you use regularly and clear the data and cache if possible (obviously you don't want to do this for games with saved progress and such).
Since you're rooted (and I'm going to assume have CWM and unlocked bootloader), you could boot into recovery and clear your system cache as well...and if you *really* want to clean things up you could backup your device and do a full data wipe...although if you were going to that far, might as well try a new ROM out!
Yeap figured it out for some reason a signal booster app I downloaded was spamming my phone with adds, ultimately slowing my phone down a lot. thanks for the help helpful response. Can you send me a link to where you got your clean rom? Cause I am looking into flashing a good rom.

Here is CleanROM: [ROM][1/13] - CleanROM 5.6 -★| The Standard for Excellence! |★- - xda-developers
Great ROM with a lot of features, based directly off of the stock firmware and very stable.
+1 on cleanrom bug free and great battery life as Pete stated.

That can't be considered good. That's horrible.

21 hours run time with 50% remain? Seems pretty good to me... (and yes, it was connected to wifi, but mobile data was on the entire time).
OK that was my bad I didn't see the 1 somehow lmao. It looked like 2h to me for some odd reason.

Thats too funny, thought you were being sarcastic at first.
Sorry to jump in your thread OP, but just wanted to ask if theres any known bugs with cleanrom since it was brought up. Specifically with these features:
-phone
-sms/mms
-browser
-camera
-gps with google maps
Thank you!

Forget about cleanrom. Go with either CM10 or AOKP. Both are significantly faster and get better battery life.

No problems with any of those. As I mentioned, it's built off the stock firmware, so pretty much everything works -- it just has a few nice extras baked in, bloatware removed, and uses the Aroma installer that allows you pick and choose a lot of the Samsung and Google apps you want.
If you *want* run AOSP ROMs, those are good choices, but honestly, in my experience, CleanROM runs just as "fast" on the S3 and, as evidenced by my screenshot above, has great battery life too. Really just a matter of personal preference as to whether someone prefers TouchWiz or vanilla Android. I personally like some of the Samsung/TouchWiz features, so I prefer to run a TW ROM. Also, because ROMs like CR are built off the stock firmware, I find there are less bugs...although it has been a while since I ran CM10, so perhaps it's more stable now than it was when tried it out a while ago.
Not trying to say you're wrong or to discount your advice...just saying that anyone thinking of ROM-ing should weigh the pros and cons of each type before moving forward, because I don't think it's a black and white sort of thing.
So what is the best overall rom for the gs3 I535 as of now?

That was kind of my point -- there's no right answer to that question.
Most of the ROMs can be found over at XDA: Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development - xda-developers
And there are some at RootzWiki as well: Verizon Galaxy S III Development - RootzWiki
Look over the 1st posts to see what's included in the ROMs, then read some of the latest comments to see what others are saying about them. I recommened CleanRom because that's what I primarily run and I love it...but there are quite a few other popular stock/TW ROMs out there. Then there are those who are die-hard AOSP fans who like CM10 or AOKP. Lots of choices with this device....
