Just got an SGS3 to replace my frustrating TBolt. I've rooted, unlocked, and have started freezing the cruft with Ti Backup. It seems pretty fast as it is. I use Widget Locker for the lock screen and Swipepad for quick launching. I've been playing with Nova Launcher to see how quick it is.
With all the bloat frozen, would stock stil be significantly slower than an AOSP ROM? Although custom ROMs are fairly stable, there are still issues that interfere with daily driving (BT, camera, dropped signals). If there's not much speed difference, I figure I may as well stay on stock.
The JB ROMs (CM10, AOKP) are likely faster because of Butter. But the signal issues worry me, especially since I don't get good reception on my commute or at work. I don't mind waiting a little for the devs to tweak a JB leak (or the Sprint JB OTA) and make a more stable AOSP ROM.
Any thoughts?
