Just a poll to find out the most popular rom. Maybe to help some newbies decide to see what the majority of users are using.
Since I first made this, other Roms have come out. Just post what Rom you are using if its not up there.
Can't figure out how to edit the poll.

Using Wet Dream by Nottach right now. Really stable (for me) and the battery life is good.

I decided to give Neutrino a try today as my first Custom ROM. I like it, although I'm hitting a few bugs... but still. It's really nice
For now, The DarkSide is the best. Im just saying
No stock rom option? I mean I know I'm a crusty old guy but....
Then again, as soon as CM gets webtop (I can still dream)....
Bouncing between CM7, and DarkSide. I also like zues and wet dream though. As well as Neutrino. I swap roms daily...

Is there an option that says "I change ROMs as often as I change my..."? I pretty much flash a different ROM either everyday or everyother day. I voted for Ba2TF anyways as I am past day two.

Try Simplistic ROM Lite. It has fantastic battery life after a few cycles, and the developer keeps in contact with the users.
Here is the link to the ROM:

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
We don't recommend any custom rom for decent battery life. For the simple reason there is no such thing as the "best custom rom for battery life". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom, and also see other users' experiences with that rom.
Then you can test different roms for yourself to find one that works best for you.
I'm tipping this thread gets closed when mods wake up.
In my opinion wanamlite has excellent battery life, certainly better than I got on a stock gingerbread build. The developer seems to take battery issues seriously and fixes them very quickly.

If you're on stock ics (the official release) and someone told u there are speed improvements they lied. Any custom rom easily blows stock out of the water. Stock ( even when rooted) is basically for people who want to play it safe and for things to just work. If u want customization and speed ur best bet is an AOSP based rom. Good luck. Happy flashing.

No issues with Battery life in all honesty. I can use for over 12 hours with constant use and it holds out without complaint. I couldn't say the same with the stock rom but I never really buy these handsets for stock use. I enjoy testing roms too much

hmm i was specifcally told not to flash AOSP roms . btw do you know if that will improve battery life as well. since i updated to official ICS from kies my battery dies really quick. quick meaning if i sleep with battery around 50-60%, i wake up after 7 or 8 hrs, and my battery is dead. im not sure exactly when it dies, but im pretty sure this is a flaw.

Some questions :
- Is it really "stable"? Any reboots?
- Any feature not working (bluetooth, tethering, etc...)
- Battery life?
- Compatibility with different custom kernels?
- Any issues with network (LTE/4G)?
Thank you in advance.

6/26 nightly seems more stable.
The "Enable keys notifications" (also known as BLN) does not work. It worked in 10.0.
On the positive side, they've added this feature called, "Ask for reminder snooze delay" which allows you to set the reminder time to something different than the default 5min (I just noticed this feature; not sure if it's totally brand new). I remember this feature was available on the Palm OS ten years ago and since then I haven't seen it on any mobile OS (not sure if BB had it) until now.

Thanks for the reply! I've been going through it. I am new to rooting and would want a nice ROM to go hand in hand with my Note. There are so many different ROMS making it very confusing! Is there a consensus on what the 'best' ROM is? Or could you explain to me the benefits of the one you are using and where I can get it? Thanks alot again.
You can get carbon under the Original Development Thread. It has had the least amount of reboots for me but there are many fine 4.2.2 ROMs offered here.
Asking for the "best" can start a flaming thread, since its very much a personal choice.

Best advice........read read read
As suggested by others look at development. It depends what YOU want or are looking for. Many 4.2 have issues. Mainly reboots. Some flicker in screen.
What i do is find rom that looks interesting in features to me. Then i go to end of thread and read backwards. Lets me know the more recent issues and if there are fixes or tweaks to compensate.
Lots of bells and whistles in 4.2 but sometimes we sacrifice stability.
Your choice........good luck and go slow.

CyanogenMod 10.1.2 has been the smoothest ROM for me, with the best battery life. I use SD-Booster, Autokiller, and Greenify (apps) as well, which give me super speed, super smoothness, and eternal battery life.
Since this change, not a single reboot, screen flicker, or other Android 4.2 issue.
