will remake a more detailed guide later with images.
heres how i went about it.
download philz kernel (according to your firmware i.e ics or lsc, lsa etc)
transfer it and the rom you want to your sd card or ext sd. now goto cwm and flash philz kernel zip (we will flash the rom later on). then reboot your phone.
now once in your phone goto settings, storage, then erase the sd card and the mass storage. then goto factory and erase phone (this will make everything go away). you may need to delete the samsung account. just goto accounts and sync and delete the samsung one.
now reboot your phone into recovery. once there follow this youtube video (it shows your what to wipe in cwm) then once done flash ultimate rom. and everything will work smooth. rep if this helped. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI6KyqnuixU
once your done there is and updateme option in the settings menu under about. this has mods like awesome beats etc.
last thing that really helped me was backing up contacts, sms , call logs, calenders etc. i used this amazing free app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...up.smscontacts all the backups it makes are saved in your internel memory. there will be a folder called "SmsContactsBackup" make sure you copy that to your pc or save it somewhere as you will need to copy this back to your internel memory once you have installed new rom to restore the contacts etc.
