CyanogenMod 10.1 on Galaxy S3

I've recently decided to just root my Galaxy S3 (i9300) and flash CM 10.1 just to try it out. I must say I've been loving the extra customisability that comes with CM. In addition, I got rid of the annoying notifications to update Samsung Apps that I was never going to use.

I'm completely happy with the ROM except the performance of the camera, especially video capture. The camera gets stuck often and tearing can occasionally be seen in the videos. A sample video with the said tearing can be seen at around 0:23.


One of my favourite new features on 4.2.2 is the lockscreen widgets. I've been using DashClock widget (http://goo.gl/rXvo1) to add a notification style lockscreen widget seen below.



With my experience so far running CM 10.1, I recommend going for it just for the stock android experience. If you are an avid camera user, I would however suggest to keep using the stock Samsung Rom.
