OK, this might be a dumb question for some, but i am confused. Which of the two ROMs is the better one? Is Euphoria the next generation Passion? I do not care about GPS but rather stable and bug free ICS ROM. Don't care for customization either...
I am currently on ICS Passion 11b5 and have some issues like, my ringtones stop working every now and then and I need to re-select them in my sounds. Phone is laggy and becomes unresponsive pretty often..
If customization isn't your thing then I'd stick with ICS Passion if I were you. However you should probably update. ICS Passion v13.1 has been out for a while and I hear that that rom coupled with the newest Kiss kernel (Sealed_with_a_kiss #4) make a good pair. You should try that before testing out Euphoria.
Try the AOKP rom, it is similiar to Passion with fewer bugs and less laggy.
If you like MIUI, there are 2 or 3 MIUI V4 roms being worked on. They run solid, just dont allow for much customization at this point.

AOKP = Android Open Kang Project - Milestone 4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512518
Ice Cream Zenwich is also AOKP based and very good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499455
(Euphoria is AOKP based too. that's where all the customization comes from. Passion was based on CM9)
So the AOKP should be better than both Zenwich and Euphoria then? How come the AOPK Rom's thread is not very big (that's how I judge if a rom is popular)?

Ok, let me make this simple for you to understand.
Zenwich and Euphoria ARE aokp, not AOKP is better. So to make it clear, AOKP Roms are Zenwich, Euphoria, and Milestone 4. And if you judge a rom's popularity based on the number of posts then you're surely mistaken. The reason some roms have more posts than others are because the development of the rom has been out longer. That doesn't mean the rom is better (or more popular). In fact, the best way to judge a rom is by testing it yourself and finding the right one; kinda like buying a pair of shoes, or a car, or a woman.
The ONLY way you're gonna find the BEST rom for you is to take them for a test drive, give them a fair chance and use each one for a few days and see for yourself.
OK, good to know. Yes, I think you are right about the test drive .. and the women .. I guess I should install them and see. The thing is it generally takes some time to setup and configure everything back the way i need. But I will start with Zen probably because it has inverted apps built-in and see how it goes . Thanks!

Well put DJ, and I agree totally!! These people questioning us for opinions on ROMs to choose, need to test them out and experience the ROM for what it is to see if it suits them.
I personally was a diehard Honey Fan of EB's Roms, until the ICS ROM's came out which addressed some issues I was having using SHoney, And Ive been moving forward with a ROM that has everything I WANT, not what other peeps need or desire!!
Again Its a personal choice, and should be made outta what you need and want from a ROM, not popularity!!
JMO!!
Just out of curiousity, I see many developments between the JB CM based roms, however, am curious to know the difference between each rom? Other than the MIUI version, I can't really tell what's the difference between say CNA and XenonHD. Where can I go to understand the roms better?

personal preference is the ley here. youll find each phone might react differently with each rom. and othera have thir opinions
you aint the only one ripper - i've tried 3 JB roms and not really noticed much between them visually or performance wise.
started on jokers, then epinters and then one of th3bills ports... all based on jokers base anyway and i;ve gone back to that one as it caused the least problems.
Hi, first up, my apologies if this has been asked before, but I did search without success.....
During reading various threads on XDA, I've come across words such as Alpha, Beta, Release Candidate, Stable, Nightly and Experimental.
Some speak for themselves....
Alpha.....the beginning of a ROMs development.
Beta......a little bit further along than Alpha.
Stable....everything works, no further development planned.
But where, and in what order do you get Nightly, Experimental and Release Candidate.....
Not a terribly important question I know, but I'd like to find out so that I can understand at a glance (by reading that one word) what I can (sort of) expect from any given ROM.....
Thanks in advance.....

Nightlies are nightly (or something close to it) builds with usually small changes each time. This nightly stage will overlap the entire rom building phase (from alpha/beta to the stable ones).
Release candidates are builds that are called 'almost stable enough' to come close to the final stable release (not a real technical explanation but I think you get it).
Experimental builds.. Not really sure, but what I understood from them is that they sometimes contain some differences from the usual nightlies to test features that are not always included in the RC's or stable builds.
Anyone who has to add/change anything: please do

Thanks for your answer fella.....I understand your explanations of the terms.....but that "muddies the water" even more....I guess what I was hoping for was some sort of "linear chronology" when it came to applying these names.....
Alpha>>Beta>>Experimental>>Nightly>>Release Candidate>>Stable……………
But I see now that's not the case....so what IS the best way to tell how "mature" a ROM is, how suitable it is for "daily" use.....look at the "known issues" I guess?

Just install the latest nightly If the known issues (or the issues you find yourself) aren't bothering you, you'll be fine.

Hey everyone,
the idea of this thread is to see which ROMS are people using the most. Feel free to post your opinions, always with respect to others.

Surely AOKP won't be the winner by a longshot.
The list should probably be condensed a bit. Like including both paranoid android rom's into the same category, maybe merging the ones that build from the CM10.1 source into a single category.

At the beggining I just made an option for paranoid, but then I checked both threads and there were a couple of ppl using each one, so I though, why not separate them. In order to include the changes you said, I think it must be a moderator who does that, i'm not sure but I can't find how to edit the poll (never made one...). Thanks.
I was thinking of a poll to see one option you're missing is 'Stock Rom' Would be nice to also graph users that aren't using a custom rom and are instead just using google's official one.
And there should be a 'Other - please list your rom' option as a good chunk of people won't vote without 2 options if there not applicable to them so its going to be skewed for stats without them.
I think CleanROM should be included in the poll, as it's a quite popular ROM.

In theory it was there, i'm not sure why it isn't. Totally failed doing my first poll lol. Any clue if I can edit the poll or it must be an admin?
I use Pac on my nexus 10 and also on my sgs2, because i think PA is very useful especially on the nexus, but it´s nut enough customisation, so the mixture between PA and AOKP is great.
So i only can advise you to give PACman a try

Think the admins/mods need to edit the poll hopefully they will be nice enough to do so as this poll would be worthwhile for all of us here with nexus 10's
I sent a non urgent report so the mods can see it and hopefully be nice enough to update the thread.
I use AOKP with KTManta... AOKP Milestone, official download.
updated to Kaos Droid's new ROM, so far seems good
MrRobinson's AOKP PUB with KTManta kernel here.
Carbon Nightly!!
I must say, I'm pretty stoked with 2nd place so far!!
Been testing different ROMs like Roobox, Tasker, Liquidsmooth, I am using Carbon for now. I like AOKP too will try Sentinel next. So many ROMs to try too much fun.
Don't forget kaos droid... Awesome rom and the dev is very willing to add custom features
I've tried nearly everyone on the list. But I always end up going back to the AOKP PUB builds. I fluctuate between the builds by Bigxie and Mr. Robinson - depending on who has a more recent build. No other ROM I've used has all the customization options I'm looking for (including my #1 must-have Tablet UI) as well as including the increased speed and fluidness. With that said, it's great they there's so many options for the device. It's one of the reason I love Nexus devices.
I liked pacrom but had to switch back to paranoid android because ps3 controller wouldn't connect to sixaxis
*edit ps3 controller now connecting since flashing the newest pacrom.
Just got my N10 a couple of days ago and I'm looking for a ROM. Which one of the AOKP custom roms are the best?

Start off with aokp pub build or task650 both are smooth but try them all and see which one is to your liking

Can someone explain me the difference between Beanstalk and Slimkat?
Which one's better?
It's more of a personal preference, rather than which one is better.

I suppose I should weigh in here seeing as how I'm building both roms but even so, let me say that this is just my opinion...
Slimkat is a good, stable ROM with a small feature set.(It's called "slim" for a reason) I like using slim for development for that reason plus adb is less secure and that helps me figure out problems. http://slimroms.net
BeanStalk has tons of options and tweaks. This is actually the first time that I've run BeanStalk and I'm loving it. It is a little unstable until you get it configured properly. So if you are one of those people who love to tweak your ROM and try to get the most out of it, then you might want to try BeanStalk. http://www.scotthartbti.com/
Don't for get about CyanogenMod. I consider that ROM to be the "middle of the line" between SlimKat and BeanStalk. CM has more features than SlimKat but less than BeanStalk.
Ultimately it always comes down to personal preference... Give each a try and stick with the one you like best...
BTW, At first the only reason I built BeanStalk was to give everyone another option. Now it's my favorite ROM for this device!
Thank you!! Meticulus for explaining me the difference between both Roms.I am curious to know about the camera as we know that it takes photo in less resolution will there be future update or you think that it will be fixed? I also wanted to say that after the update of SlimKat 4.4.2 RC1 it is smoother and faster. I just want to appreciate your hard work....

The "compromise" I've worked isn't "on the path" to a complete solution. In other words, it doesn't address the underlying problem at all.
However, my recent work on the nutella kernel has given me a few ideas which may allow me to get higher resolution on the rear cam photo snap. Im letting the ideas stew in the back of my mind, while I work on other things.
That being said, probably won't work on it for a while...
