Root [International] Cyanogen Mod 10

i personally didnt like it much either, i have used NeatRom, omega and WanamLite(installed it not really used it much). Like neatrom the best. It would be a good option for you to flash siyah kernel and keep the stock 4.1.2 on the 1st rom and try installing roms on the 2nd so u can try it and see without loosing all the data.

Touchwiz based roms are actualy great unless youre a total android purist/snob, in which case, Nexus are very affordable :thumbup:

Very good point! Thanks for pointing this out CWM won't backup your efs folder, but an app like kTool - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool will do the trick.

OP, download the app above and then backup your EFS from there, it is a very important backup in case your IMEI number gets wiped during a flash (which is very hard to get back without a backup).

TWRP recovery allows efs back-up.

Use GooManager from Play to flash it, and more, get ROMs, GApps, etc.
