I've been waiting for ICS for a while now and sinced it is released last march 13 I've heard so many bad feedbacks and bugs from stock LPQ and not even worth of flashing.
After several days many COOKED LPQ roms are out. Can anyone tell me whats the most Stable, bugfree or LESS bug LPQ COOKED ROM out there?
I don't know if it is THE most stable ROM, since i only tested two so far, but i really like the DarkyROM based on LPQ.
Very stable ROM, only issue i noticed so far is that Chrome is not working (have to deinstall the system app and then install over Market, works until reboot).

I think the general consensus will be to try them out yourself and see what you prefer and don't prefer. I'm wondering the same question myself as well, but I'm gonna experiment with a couple right now before deciding on a daily driver.

I would like to try every Custom ROM but problem is i have a hardtime downloading roms due to my slow internet connection..
By the way hope that you can provide some feedbacks regarding on what rom you are using rightnow.
Some says DarkyROM and Resurrection are among the widely used Custom ROM. Personally I use stock rom with 3rd party Launcher.
I will just wait for CM9 to become stable and move out from stock...

So the lockscreen issue and MMS are fixed on darkyROM?
hi
that was my question too. i read alot and when xxlpq were available i choose galaxy rom.
i installed galaxyrom lpq since 1 day and no fc's at all. it has also ota updates for lidroid pack and theme restore. deep sleep ok, battery ok but lets see after 3-4 cycles. no contacts editing fc, wifi and data ok, market ok- 3.4.7. restored and frozen some apps with titanium 4.8.4. sync ok for contacts, notes and calendar with phone explorer. its a rom close to stock and uses apex launcher. i now waiting for jkay work. only thing is that scrolling is not smooth as in gb roms.
Answer has to be non .
How can a firmware be issued and a perfect rom built in a few days with no testing .

Just flashed this and its super fast and buttery smooth. Three bugs so far for me calendar force closes. Disabling calendar sync got rid of that. The market wont download and install any apps already tried wiping data on that but no go. Also no gmail app still working on that. So I just sideloaded TB and installed my user apps and all else is well in my universe im sure a market fix will be out in a day or two.
If you have root explorer gmail is in /data folder I believe. Just move it to /system/app and you're good to go!
Thanks had a hard time finding in so i just sideloaded the gmail.apk and its all good. Any idea how to install the android email application its not in the app drawer anywhere?
I'm liking this ROM a lot, favorite so far. Seems mostly stable for me. I haven't experimented much with Market. Things I've noticed... Browser seems a little laggy, but not too bad. No blue flashing is nice. This seems have the least Sense integration! (Only thing is during phone calls still has the Sense call screen with green android guy). But the ICS dialer is very nice. Liking it so far, recommend it in fact!
Thank you very much Newtoroot
Hmm I assume you would just need to get the .apk and add it to the /system/app directory. As long as the permissions are set correctly you should be good to go.
same issues! getting FC on calendar and can't download from market..
but otherwise i love it!
I couldn't take the bugs so i flashed back to scroslers Cleanrom ics. I hope to reload when the next update comes out.
Newt said he'd be releasing one tomorrow (well later today now technically) with fixes. Looking forward to it for sure.
Bluetooth Music Streaming
I've been using Scott's Senseless ROM for about two weeks now, and I'm actually pretty happy with it. It has a few bugs here and there, but certainly usable as a daily driver. My biggest issue is that it has issues with streaming music over Bluetooth. It will eventually connect sometimes if I continuously turn the bluetooth music streaming off and on, but it's a real pain. This seems to be the same issue in Scott's CleanROM ICS, and in Newtoroot's Ineffabilis-Deus ROM, so I assume it's an issue with the drivers in the leak. Can anyone confirm or deny the Bluetooth music streaming capability of this ROM?

asked the same question in the rom thread... i'm gonna assume that this is still an issue as it has been on all ICS roms. That's the only reason I don't have a 4.0.whateva running on my phone right now... bt streaming is a must have for me, don't know what i'd do without it...

Yea, this is just one of those hoping against all odds things. I'm pretty sure we won't get ICS + streaming bt until there's an official HTC ICS ROM. I just hope that's soon, and I can't imagine it wouldn't be soon, given the quality of the leaked ROMs. I'm checking online daily like I'm waiting on a check in the mail! LOL

Looks like Newts updated the rom guys...not sure if im gonna flash or not currently running Tachi91's De-Sensed ICS 4.0 which has the trebuchet launcher baked in im running great if any of you guys try it let me know if its worth the trouble.
I'm confused about one thing regarding this ROM. Newt says in the features list that this ROM contains and updated kernel, but it says at the end that he doesn't include a boot.img. I thought the boot.img WAS the kernel? No?

Can anyone shed light on this? I think me not understanding how this works is also causing me other problems. I tried to restore a nandroid backup from my original stock ROM, and it won't boot up. All of the ROMs I've flashed thus far have been from scrolser, which automatically reboot to fastboot (or is it HBoot?) and install the kernel. Does this same type of thing have to be done for nandroid restores? Do I need to perform the restore, then go back and flash the kernel separately?

Use the kernel on page 4 of the thread in the dev. forum...otherwise you may end up with some process.acore crashing hell.
Otherwise, it is an awesome ROM...my favorite senseless ICS one so far.
MMS in ICS
I have tried a couple different de-sensed ICS ROMs and they all have MMS issuses. Is there one out there that doesn't? I know beggers cant be choosers but I love Newts ROM I just need MMS.

Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't really answer my question. If there's a boot.img in the ROM, why do I need to flash another boot.img separately? From some other reading I've done, it looks like the kernel is just part of the boot.img, is that right? I've searched for info on this, but I can't find anything that explains all of this clearly.

Is there any way I can get my hands on a flashable ZIP (or even just a folder of APKs) of all the AOSP google apps—browser, clock, contacts, calendar, gallery, messaging, and phone? My perfect ROM would basically be stock Samsung ICS with TouchWiz apps replaced with their Google equivalents.
All the ROMs that have this (i.e. Resurrection) go a bit far with theming/mods for my taste, so I'd just like to cook my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
AOSP apps won't work on a Samsung base. Completely different framework.
A Samsung ICS base? I was under the impression that Holo apps would still work—like Gmail, Maps, Talk, etc.
Unlikely. If you want to try it, go to the CM9 discussion thread & download Gapps from link in the first post.

Thanks, will try.
Alternatively, what do you think would be the best ROM for AOSP apps? Just wait for CM9 to iron out all the kinks? (Personally just waiting on HDMI out to work.)
I've been using CM9 for a week (after testing it for a few days a month ago) & it's easily the best SGS2 rom either GB or ICS. The few things that don't work at the moment aren't a problem for me because I don't use them, but I've had zero problems/FCs/etc. Battery life is fantastic, definitely a daily driver for me.
Other AOSP ICS "roms" are winzip/theme jobs & not really roms, no significant original content in these. I haven't tried any of these.

I'll have to give CM a try, then. Are the remaining problems just a matter of needing some code from Samsung?
Don't know. Ask Codeworkx or Xplodwild. Things like FM radio are very unlikely to ever make their way into CM9.

All those aosp apps you asked are already there in resurrection and spike ics roms. Even more spike has a sperate aosp zip package to flash separately. You can try those.

It's there but I want to have (as OP has posted) just stock rom and just replace certain apps with aosp ones.
Is there a guide?
First off by posting this i mean no disrespect towards the developers of CM9.
Ok heres my problem im running a ics rom it is treating me very nicely about as expected but it is starting to be a nusiance for my everyday use. As you all know the ics doesnt just yet have a camera and CM10 does. It would be very nice to have a camera but i can get by without. another option i have is to flash back to a stock rom but since Gingerbread does not apply proxy setting to apps it would definatly be a problem but it does work nice without a problem.
The newest release of CM10 looks nice should i flash it?
Should i stick in their with my ICS CM9 and cope with its problems (no disrepect inteaded toward the developers)?
Are the stock roms that are on XDA modified to apply proxy setting to apps?
I forgot to mention the issues iv been haveing with my rom so here:
Any time i try to look at the capacity of my device in the setting as soon as it is finished calculated it restarts.
When i try to download apps i get a 923 error (insufficient storage space) even tough that isnt the problem.
After apps have been install (only games apps) after the first 2 weeks of using it starts to freeze at start up and after 2 months of freezing at start up it works fine again.
There are a few really small ones that are not worth mentioning.

Unless you REALLY need Bluetooth and the earpiece speaker, I'd definitely recommend upgrading to CM10. It works a lot better for me than CM9 did.
When do I really use the ear price speaker because I have never noticed it being used

In my opinion, sounds like you should stick to stock. There are problems with custom kernels, and custom roms which nothing fully works one hundred percent. Honestly, if it annoys you, switch back.
Yeah but with the stock rom the proxy setting don't apply to apps and since my main network that I connect to is tru a proxy server any app that needs wireless connection will not work I'd rather put up with what annoys me then not being able to connect even to the play store

hello. I'm using gingerbread rooted. and i want to port to new touchwiz nature ux which preinstalled in jellybean.
pls don't suggest me to upgrade to jb . because jb lags alot. i already used it and I also have used many cocore kernels but still it is laggy.
everybody is on jb, I don't think anyone would be able to help you out!
There might be someone who can..but nobody's on gb now. Most of the users are now shifting to cm10.1 as it is ALMOST stable!!!

Whixh such 'stock' apps you can't use?
And I said its ALMOST stable, not fully!
there are only 2 bugs, that are offline charging not working and low in-call vol on incoming calls.
It's impossible because of different APIs.

I am running GB 2.3.6 too. JB for I9070 is so laggy and frustrating. I dont mind using GB which is very smooth and stable. The only downside is the almost useless stocj launcher. I cant even hide app icons in this launcher and folder creation is not to my liking. I searched for TW 5 launchers but came across a Android Kitkat launcher which was tested and confirmed working in I9070. I have been using it for a couple of days now. It is smooth and problem free. Positive so far. You can get it from here. Hope this helps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514743
Hey guys, just wanted to share.
I tried many roms (PA, CM, Omni, S5 Sensations etc) and I always find something missing/not working properly.
sometimes its the battery draining too fast, sometimes just random crashes and so on.
I'm thinking of going back to stock. I have the i9300 and the latest stock one is 4.3 (boooooo).
Has anyone done this route before? someone here also gone back from roms to stock?
Will be nice to hear others opinion.
Thanks :cyclops:

Even stock ROMs can be plagued by similar issues to be honest.
To minimise the irritations I always clean flash any ROM that I install and restore only apps, not data.
I'm currently rocking this stock based KK ROM port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-qs-i9300-kk-t2755841
with version 6.2 of this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-5-2-27-03-2014-t1964572
without any problems, it is certainly no less stable or functional than pretty much every factory Samsung ROM I have ever used.
If you do want to go back to 4.3 stock based ROM, I have always found Imperium http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37656328&postcount=2 to be pretty much perfect as a reliable, stable daily driver, using the stock kernel with a moderate profile (set in Aroma) I could easily get the thick end of 2 days off a charge under light use but with wifi always on and a bunch of apps like eBay, K9, Gmail, BBC weather syncing in the background.

Hey, you nailed it - main lag is within camera, gallery & dialer.
in Touchwiz i imminently replace the stock dialer with eXdialer, and the stock gallery with QuickPic.
I also been trying almost all the 4.3./4.4/5.02 but 4.3 stock base is the most stable and trouble free rom for me .
I cant stand whenever you want to snap a important picture the camera crash and need to restart.or phone freeze .

#1 & 3 are heavily debloated + CROSSBREEDER it flys
