Here’s another great ROM that’s up and coming, the BlackStar ROM for your rooted Galaxy S3 i9300. This ROM is super-lightweight similar to the CM-Zoom ROM, comes with Siyah kernel with overclocking support up to 1.8Ghz.
This ROM should also give you great battery life and performance over stock ROM, another great choice tested by the team at GalaxyS3Root.com.
Give it a twirl and let me know what you think of this ROM!

great rom, mixes the best of aosp with the best of samsung.
So I noticed that under quadrant standard’s system information. The Max freq is 1800mhz, does this mean its my current Max freq or this is the Max freq it is capable of with this kernal? Because I’m a bit worried about the cpus longevity if it can actually reach that speed right now.
Yes max freq is the maximum frequency you can set. It’s pretty safe at 1.8Ghz but will drain your battery quicker.
So my phones frequency is still capped at 1.4ghz unless I over clock it myself with an app?
You need a kernel with OC support OR ROM that comes with OC kernel.
I’m currently using blackstar rom and that’s how I’m seeing Max freq: 1.8hz in quadrant. My cpus Max freq isn’t really 1.8 at the moment until I over clock it manually though, right?
it is 1.8Ghz when you run apps at full speed.
How can I under clock it back to 1.4ghz?
Running SetCPU? If not, your max. is at 1.4Ghz.
And is there a better app I can use that will show my actual Max frequency that you can recommend?
