Make a backup and install it. What do you have to loose? Some time? If you don't like it you can restore your Nandroid backup in CWM.

AOKP is quite stable, I have it on my GNex. Very stable. All of the phones that AOKP supports shares 95% of the code, it's that 5% of the code that makes it capable of running on a specific phone.

One last though thought. Personally, I like TWRP better than CWM. CWM has had a history of backups (or Nandroids) that have resulted in bad restores. TWRP has a much better track record than CWM as of late.

I use TWRP so I can't walk you through it step by step; but in CWM these is an option to back up. If you flash goes awry and you can boot into recovery, you can restore the backup and it is like you never left. It takes less than 5 minutes to run the backup or restore.

It is best to backup the stock un-rooted image, but getting a working stock rooted backup is good enough.

I have used Rom Manager, flashed CWM 6.0.1.2, used RM to make a backup of the current ROM.

I am ready, just....

as long as you trust your backup JUST FLASH IT

(you might want to TiBU your apps first)

wait wait wait even more. do a wipe of data and cash between the backup and the flashing of the new rom. if you don't wipe you'll eventually have problems.

as for google wallet, i've gotten lucky a few times. i think the reason is because i realized i forgot to reset it before opening it in the new rom. it sucks remembering it at that point because then i have to reflash my backup, reset wallet, then reflash the new rom.

Currently using AOKP which is pretty damn stable to me, only difference to me is the battery life, sucks compared to stock.

I have also heard the latest CyanogenMod 10 nightly is wicked stable and fast. But you might want to wait until M2 instead of a nightly.

"Samsung sees record profits on smartphone sales"

Samsung Electronics has estimated record profits in the three months to September, led by strong sales of its Galaxy smartphones.

It's questionable if this was Samsung or Google. I've heard that developers were complaining to Google about allowing apps to be moved as they were then easier to pirate.

My thought was if it was Samsung that storing apps on the SD card might break OTG ability of the phone.

But I'm also assuming that you have pretty much installed most of the apps you are going to use. How many is that, 50 or 60? You can still double the number of apps you have right now. I's guess a person could install somewhere around 150-200 apps on 16GB. I think at 150 apps, a person is probably not using them all anyway.

Everything else can be stored on the external card.

today I installed CyanogenMod 10 Nightly w/ Lean Kernel. Lean Kernel seems to help with the battery a ton.

one thing that I've noticed about touchwiz is it cant handle very long/complex wifi passwords. AOKP and CyanogenMod no problem what so ever.

yep for example

will not save in touchwiz stock on my GS3.
