ah im waiting to hear more. cause iwanna try slim if its faster than euphoria.
My experience with Euphoria has been amazing thus far.
Mines hasnt. The music skips when playing alot recently

i also would like to see more results!
honestly i feel like slim wont get too many results bc ppl seemed to be biased towards passion/euphoria without even trying slim since it came out later
My pick for the best would be ICS Passion but its not on the list
My vote is for Slim, it's fast, smooth, and has amazing battery life. Battery life is the best I've used since 2.2 roms.
ICZen RC1.2. Been running ICZen since the first beta stages and haven't had a single problem with lag or anything.
Go For AOKP !

I agree! ICS Passion is great.
ICS Passion with yum yum 2 here. Very smooth and battery is great. GPS requires a restart sometime and speaker phone issue still lingers around, but those are small issue that I can live with.

ICZen for me, never had a problem with it.

Slim works awesome for me. Smooth with great battery life.

Pretty much in the same boat as you kennii. However over all other ICS roms I plan to eventually upgrade to 'Zenwich' or 'Ecstasy'. Most likely 'Zenwich'...

can you guys elaborate as to why zen seems to be the choice above the rest??
what particularly makes it better than slim which is stripped down?? or what tweaks does it seem to have over others?

Getting major anxiety on which ROM to flash?
They all give us something different and all are so good. I can go back and forth nearly twice a day.
Im stuck between
-Viper
-Synergy
-Ava
-Xron
What are your guys opinions on these?!
I've tries them all and I've been happiest with viper. Frequent updates and good battery life

Thats what im about to flash actually. I love Synergy too, for there built in scripts that you can customize, and the transition eye candy. But ill ill run Viper for hopefully more than a day
I'm a fan of viper ROM it runs so fast and smooth even without an OC kernel.

I havent used a FroYo ROM in quite sometime because i moved onto CM7 and now ICS, but i got my mom a Vibrant today and i was wondering what the most solid and fastest ROM is, I remember Bionix 1.3.1 was always great, but has anyone made a super killer FroYo ROM that you would suggest?
P.S. I am just looking for something that works with no kinks, GPS Working and good battery life.
Bionixxxx
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yep, I'd go with Bionix if you want a good, solid ROM with no kinks. I ran it for more than six months, and I loved it. Good GPS, great battery, just a solid ROM all around.
Link to thread here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
I've run the gamut from 2.1-4.0 roms for our Vibrant, but Deranged 9 is my favorite. Great Battery life, working GPS, support for tons of themes once it hits final and as fast as CM7....

I have been running Toxic8 for the past six months. Very fast, smooth, best battery life I've had out of the 4-5 ROMS I have run. Lots of options and flexibility. Definitely worth looking at.

Seriously, I know its my rom, but its probably the most stable and up to date (last updated on Black Friday) froyo rom we have rolling around. I am running ICS currently, but I do still support ZD, in the rare occasion that support is needed. There are also vanilla froyo and gb themes available, with or without a multitude of lock screens thanks to contributions from the community.

he meant deprecated, not depreciated. meaning, it is old, out of use, and has been replaced (i.e. obsolete due to a newer, better version). i'm guessing 'deprecated' got autocorrected.

you should try all the ROMS...then you can say which one is best for you. We have different expectations maybe you'll find which is best for you...

That's true. It's like asking which ice cream flavor is best. So try a few and see what floats your boat. But be careful though - if you start with ZenDroid you probably won't get around to flashing anything else.

I agree with Br1ckd. Zendroid is stable, smooth and the battery life is amazing. Bionixx is good too no doubt but Zendroid seemed to give me better battery life.

Best
I think Bionix is the most solid to date, but thats stating that we haven't perfected a 2.2.1 rom!!!
I am surprised no one has mentioned either Toxic8 or Deranged9. I have had nothing but solid, stable experiences on both if them. I feel that nearly all the Froyos are about as stable as they can get at this point.
ICS has taken over as the flavor most wanted, so not much on the future horizon for Froyo.
They all felt the same....just different features...
I know its personal preference but can I get some recommendations on roms for the note? Just curious what many people are using and what seems to be the preferred roms....
Thank u!

I'm also curious about finding the best ROM. I currently have a stock Galaxy Nexus, and I love that, so I'm looking for the best ROM for the Note that is as close to Stock Android as possible.
I really want to pick one up, but until there's a Clean, Non-"Samsung-y" ICS ROM, I'm holding off.
Any leads would be Very much appreciated.
Thanks.

If youre looking for ics i have been using this rom for about a month, has a few bugs but i use it for everyday.

If you want gingerbread this rom works fine with pretty much no bugs.

Your going to have to wait much longer before anything is released, we dont even have an official release of ICS yet, nor do we have any source code, and after CM gets around to releasing a first release, even longer (probably a month or two) before it is stable enough for daily use.

Hey galaxy s2 community! Just a quick question for you guys and gals. I'm ready to flash a ROM on my phone and I think I've narrowed it down to ether aokp or shostock2. I'd like to stick to ics now that the i777 has official ics (more stable and better features) so I think I may wait like a month. I'm looking for something fast (I like showing off my quadrant scores to my HTC fan boy friends) and stable, a good battery life would be great=). Can you help me choose between aokp and shostock2? And don't turn this into a war guys=) we all know they're both amazing ROMs, I just want to know which has better battery life and stability, speed is a nice bonus=) thanks!
I come from a captivate with darkyrom if that tells anyone what kind of ROM I like=)

We cant choose for u. Just flash them both and see what u like. Each rom suits each persons needs differently.

You could dual boot them using the siyah kernel. If you choose to do that download the version WITH mic swap, and try them both without flashing back and forth.
try both and see which works best for you.
As noted... no ROM fits everyone.. try a few, and see which works best for YOU.
Well I am a bit confused on which Rom to install as there are a few that look great. I want to see what people have to say on the following roms like a poll:
cm9 nightly Rom
Team Sonic's FreeGS3 Rom
Blazer Rom
Diet ICS
which are you running ? what features you like about these roms? what issues you have with these roms?
thanks

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say you have a Sprint Galaxy S3, seeing how all those roms are for Srpint. Anyways, I run Blazer Rom and love it. I have no issues with anything and I get great battery life, while it's still smooth and fast.

I've been running Diet ICS, which also has great battery life. I haven't had any issues with the ROM, and they seem to be very responsive to what the community would like to see in the ROM itself.
ROM is always going to be user-preference... I go back and forth from CM10 with inverted apps, and AOKP with inverted apps....
