There is lot of custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy S III. Which one should I choose? Well, try all of them if you can. Find out the best one for you. Omega ROM for Samsung Galaxy S3 is the latest custom ROM that I tried. Omega ROM is based on official Samsung Galaxy S3 firmware and it is deodexed, rooted and zipaligned. Furthermore, Omega ROM is loaded with Aroma installer which ROM installation is fully customizable by user and there are options to install everything and remove bloatware. And Omega Files (kitchen alike app) can help to download new apps, mod, kernel… Then install them with CWM manually.
The Omega ROM v9.1 that I tested was loaded with customizable 15 statusbar toggle buttons, circle battery % mod, call recorder… And I did not install any Samsung applications at all. Anyway, you can install them back or other mod with the help of Omega Files.

Hi Shajid, not sure Galaxy Ace S5830 same as your model or not. Do consult others at XDA website before install any ROM.

Samsung restore local search on the international Galaxy S III 🙂
local search is back on Omega v10 too woot. I’m sure most updated custom roms will have the local search mod in its ‘kitchen’ app too. nice
hey jayce, since you have tried both checkROM and Omega, just want to ask what do you enjoy from each ROM? 😀
Personally, I prefer CheckROM. 🙂
Are there any major differences between the two roms? Maybe i should try checkROM out..
I’m waiting for a CM9/CM10 stable release, hope it comes soon!:D
Minor differences here and there.
Alvin..
i agree with Jayce..
checkrom more better than omega..

etc..good quadrant n benchmark..
checkrom bit smooth than omega..
u’re right jayce 🙂
I’ve been using and loving checkROM on my SII. However I’m loving consistent updates from the Omega ROM side.. cool stuff, I’ll check checkROM out. thanks for sharing 😀
yeah alvin..

now update firmware to I9300XXBLG8..
Good update with samsung..

Dear Jayce,
Is any of the rom supporting chinese character typing ? or installing the keyboard apk will do ?
Regards,
Chuan
If ROM does not support Chinese input, just download it from Google Play Store. Lot of them free to download. Personally, I am using Google Pinyin IME.
Dear Jayce,
thank for the infor but will it crash the system as some from XDA said some may crash the phone system
Huh? Install Google Pinyin IME will crash Google own Android OS?
Dear Jayce,
Sorry for my mistake , is about samsung chinese xx which clash with system for modified rom
Regards
Chuan
xx?
Dear Jayce,
sorry once again , i read from page where reader sharing about something like samsung chinese …… which clash with modified rom but i cant recall where i read it . After all i just wonder Rom like Omega and Check Rom will compatible with google pinyin IME or not only . Thank
Regards,
Chuan
Yes, it is working on CheckROM.
Hey, how does this Omega rom compare against Checkrom?
I prefer CheckROM personally.
