Can someone tell me the differences in the various types of roms for ics. like the stock ics rom , cm7 ics rom , cm9 ics rom and miui ics rom. and also which one is better and best
CM9 ics is smoothest but fm radio, video recording or hdmi isnt working. Stock is not that smooth but everything is working, also miui is based on stock (i think) so not that smooth but working everything, you could try new aosp 4.0.4 wich is not based on stock or cm9, aosp 4.0.4 haves everything working but hdmi and fm radio, but its smooth as cm9
Ah man, not another the best/better rom thread....
Basic difference is based on stock or based on custom code, cm9 for example. Which means, some of roms will run on locked bootloaders, and some of them will only work with custom kernels which require unlocked bootloader.
All those info are written in each rom's first(few) post(s).
Now to explain why I wrote that in first part of my post. There is no best and better rom, it's up to personal experience. Some rom's can be faster, but with no extra options, so as you can see, someone will go for faster, someone will go for extra options.
Go and read and try, find what's best for you.

i am as off now using Ka18which is based on stock havnt gone to ka 19 since it has many issues and just waiting for that to b resolved. but i wanted to know if its the best or not.
like i am more into customization and looks . i would prefer something where i can customize and at the same time i want it to be smooth and not hang in between.
in ka18 the net is too slow for me all the time. while all work well.
fm radio is not imp to me and hdmi also is ok as long as it doesnt decrease the quality of the display in phone. so would u suggest using cm9 or aosp 4.0.4 and which rom do you suggest

ya i know there were many posts before but i was never properly satisfied with all answers there and all that i read. i have so far only tried the based on stock roms. looked in cm9 and all but many times let it go cos data is not working in many and thats something very imp for me. i dont mind the rom not having ne extra options as that can be added. as of now the kernel also i use is night elf rc3 which seems to be fine even though i have issues with data and wifi disconnection often. based on speed which would u suggest?
I think it would be beneficial to be able to read a list of some of the more popular ROMs and some of the highlights from each one. Does anyone know if there is such a compiled list?
I would love to have the ability to over/under clock and a little more customization would be great too. So I've decide I will root my SGS3, just not sure with what ROMs yet. I realize that the best way is to probably try a lot out, but with my job I don't have a lot of time to do so.
I also had some question as well. Can you use TacTiles to set the cpu speeds (under/over clocking)? I would love to have it set to under clock when I get to the office since I don't use it much there and would love some extra battery life during the day. Are there certain ROMs you can do this with, or will any work?

Because I don't like Touch Wiz, that's why. And I would love some more customization and better battery life. I came from Blackberry which had tons of custominzation options stock. Now I have to download a dozen apps to get that much customization. A little bit annoying, but for the most part I'm liking the rest of the android features and def the speed.
OP, two things:
1) The best way to get an understanding of any ROM is to flash it and try it and see if it works for you. Everyone is going to have a different opinion and no matter how much reading you do on it, it is not going to replicate the actual experience of using it first hand.
2) DO NOT SPAM THESE FORUMS WITH ONE WORD/ICON POSTS
Thank you,

I will be getting at&t SGII next week, so just wondering which ROM would you guys recommend? Stable, fast and that looks good.. thanks.
They are all good. Try them all, that's going to be the best way to see which you like most.

Stable? Avoid anything that comes from netchip. I don't think any kernel he's posted here has even successfully booted.
Other than that you should be fine right now, it's hard to go wrong.
It's all opinion based. Go to the development forums and read up on all the comments, and come up with a conclusion that way. Or try them all.

Start with Serendipity If you don't like something, you can go from there. I find it to be my favorite.
so far from what I'm reading I like either Serendipity or UnNamed.

That's my choice. Best battery life and all the stock functions are present and stable.

I think some of the less visible stock functions may be missing from Serendipity. I remember over on the Infuse community, a few people were unhappy about the loss of SNS functionality. (SNS is an alternate method of syncing social network stuff like Facebook, its functionality is slightly different from that provided by the Facebook app.)
The problem is that SNS is also known to be a battery drainer - not a horrible one, but it does have a clearly noticeable detrimental effect on the battery.
For 95%+ of people, the social networking functions of the Facebook app are fine and they won't miss SNS at all, plus they'll be happy about the improved battery life that comes from nuking SNS.

They're all derived from stock, except for CM7/MIUI.
Usually the ROM changelog will indicate what has changed from stock. Right now things aren't too divergent as the device has only been out for 3 weeks.
One exception is Perception - that's derived from I9100 stock.
This is generally how it is on any Samsung phone - you have stock-derived ROMs, CM7/MIUI, and in some cases depending on commonality with other devices, cross-device ROM ports from a similar device that receives more frequent updates.

After a lot of time testing and comparing all the custom roms found here in these XDA forums for our
SGS2 i777 phone here is my conclusion:
The very BEST custom rom available for our phones at the present time is GTG's UnNamed v1.04 custom rom.
It has the most features, user customizations and options available at this current time.
I have spent countless hours testing and comparing all the other roms which are currently available for our phones
and found that GTG's rom is not only the best, but also the most reliable and error free when compared to any of
the other roms which are available for our phones at the present time.
If you are interested in the UnNamed rom, it can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299474
This is strictly my personal opinion so take it for what it's worth. (most likely less than 2 cents)

Cool thanks, I thought so. I do read the changelogs and descriptions prior to flashing. No disrespect was intended as I am glad for all the hard work and development the Devs put in! Thanks for clarifying.
I have a question, These Roms Do they lack functions as to Stock, like I read where one has problems with camera functions so if you use your camera stay with the stock, So can you elaborate which ones has less functions and are any full functional ?
Serendipity 8 is the best Rom I've encountered yet. my battery easily lasts for 30-36hrs depending on my usage of the device.
The rom is clean and runs smooth. try it out.

No. that's not the way to look at it...
For example the only custom rom which has video issues and does not
have all the features and options in the camera when compared to the
stock or custom roms is the CyanogenMod 7.1 rom, but that does not
mean that all the custom roms have camera/video issues.
You need to try them all and see which one fits your needs the best.
Or if you want to be told which rom to put on your phone, go with Serendipity 8.
i would def say serendipity 8. battery life is insane and performace is so smooth

"Screw you guys! I'm going home"
I believe this sentence should express what I'm feeling right now.
Some creative facepalms around. But nothing for a lose-7-3-at-home-to-Nottingham-goddamn-Forest. Not enough hands.
OP - there isn't a best ROM, and there are no short cuts. Read, flash, try, repeat as necessary.
I wanted to know which ROM are u using and do u enjoy it. I don't know which should I use cause it's so many of them and I don't know all ROM's features. If u aren't gonna help u can rape your neighbour's dog and if i'm so annoying and it's so hard to help a guy who don't know much about android. If u want to bully just do what I mentioned in previous sentence.
Well, im not going to act like a douche like some people, so here is my thoughts on which of the current rom's are rocking.
Im currently using Lightning 2.1, LitePro is now back and it is rock-solid in stability, for me at least. Its very blue-ish on the theeming, quite light and zippy. It doesn't have any super-duper fancy tweaks or features but it really doesn't need it.
Funnily enough, when this rom was based on gingerbread, before the creator temporarily left, it was my first actual custom rom and i really enjoyed it then as well.
I had just tried Batista's Snake Rom, ICS-build, it was stable and had some nice visuals, it also seemed responsive enough, but the latest updates have caused an increase in bugs. So i went back to lightning rom.
I had tried the miui rom before, and personally i didnt like it, its a bit too flashy.
I have also tried UltraToxic Rom, which was an unoffical extension of lightning rom back at Gingerbread, and was reasonably good, it was just like lightning.
In my opinion, i would recommend LitePro's Lightning Rom, its not too far from stock, its fast, zippy and damn stable. It looks nice as well, its not Over-Done, which is good. The battery life is also pretty decent.

I can understand that you wish for peoples opinions but it is an extremely repeated question and there is a heck of a lot of roms out there.

Problem is simple. No one knows your taste. No one knows if you prefer touchwiz, roms like cyanogenmod, or even pure ICS. Even if we all had the same taste, one rom that works greatly on one phone may not work as greatly on another phone. Only way to know the best rom for your phone is to try them all and see how it goes.
Thanks to people who told me what I need.

Facepalm indeed. But if you are asking for a opinion, not a definition of the best ROM, I would strongly recommend Slim ICS if you want AOSP experience, for Samsung ROMs, wait the new version of Sensation ROM by Crysis21, because I tried every other and they are garbage

I have been looking through the forum trying out a few At&t Galaxy Note ROMs but i haven't tried an AOSP or CM9 ROM and I was wondering if anyone could show me the best one for the At&t Galaxy Note(battery life, customization, stability, everything working, MUST have a GREAT equalizer, and being lag free.):fingers-crossed:
really the bet one is what works for you - each of us have different standards and things we look for in a ROM - best bet is to try it yourself - takes less than 5 minutes to try out a ROM - start in the development thread
I've used Flapjaxx, Perfection and am now currently running AOCP - all worked great for me - some pluses and minuses on each one
but i could see using any of these as my daily driver

I can only say what i recommend as my daily driver is fj's stock by att carrier with h0tw1r3's oc kernel r2.. It is awesome fast. I tried aosp, cm9, hybrid, paranoid, but after all that i missed having spen. I don't use the pen much but when i do its at pretty crucial times. Im going to flash cm9 official right now to try it out but most likely won't keep it. So i advise try few roms for yourself.

I have tried several CM9, AOSP, AOKP and Stock based ROMS. All of them have their merits and I give props to all the Devs who worked hard to make them.
But after trying at least one of each, my personal fav is JamieD's Paranoid Android ROM.
Great on battery, very very stable hybrid tablet interface.
Each ROM provides a different experience for everybody that uses it. The only way to find a "best ROM" is to try them all for yourself and see what is best for you. Anything that anybody tells you otherwise is wrong, as it is a matter of opinion.

:good:
but i kid
Solid words, i've personally poked around on FJ's line of stock roms, team perfection's objection, seraphim-mesosphere-remix, and official cm9, until i switched to cm9, i had always been switching back to fj's roms because of s-pen gestures, but i switched to the official cm9 nightlies and have been making due, all it takes is some back-up apps (if you have data to back up, things like titanium backup and mybackup or your preference [merely said those, because i use them]) and mess around, play with your phone, always good to have a full charge before you flash but not imperitive, and always remember when you switch between roms, make sure you wipe with double ply :3
Personally loving fjs latest build but i really liked the hotwires build and cm9 have the nfc tagging for themes... I didn't get to test it out but that stuff is pretty cool. Just my opinion.

Official CM9 nightly has been the most stable for me so far, and it's very fast. The only thing I can complain about is home screen swiping lags a bit, and when long-pressing a home screen icon to move or delete it, if you have a lot of icons on the screen, this lags a LOT. Does not happen with different launchers. So far every launcher I have tried has something I don't like about it. The silkiest smoothest launcher I've used is sslauncher in The Collective's CP1 ROM. That whole ROM is very buttery smooth and I love its different style. I was very tempted to go back to that ROM from CM9, but so far CM9 has proven more reliable for me. This could just be ME though, as I've only been playing around with this for a couple days. A week ago, I was totally clueless about how to root a phone, how to use Odin/download mode/recovery, or even what any of that meant!
I think when we see these guys stress WIPE WIPE WIPE, it really does matter. I've taken the habit of wiping anything and everything I can, multiple times, before trying a new ROM. This has given me best results so far. I just keep my important stuff backed up on my computer, and I reinstall my apps manually. Not really a big deal, since I often find when reinstalling them, there are a bunch I had installed that I don't really want anymore anyway.
So, what is the BEST?
- If you want the stock ICS experience -> you can find 100% stock ROMs floating around for various carriers.
- If you want the stock experience but don't want the bloat -> XDA has delivered on this front too, there are a few variations of stock ICS with bloat removed, and a few simple really helpful things installed but no heavy customization.
- If you want the highest performance and customization -> The Collective - AoCP - CP1, CM9, Paranoid Android
Just compare the download size of the stock ROMs to the download size of the faster ones and you'll see!
I'm still a noob at this, so everything I said could be totally wack.
Thread Closed
There is no best ROM for a individual users, its down to personal needs. I suggest you take your time and read the threads and make your own decision. This sort of thread never goes well, so i close it.
For those of you considering whether to put CM9 or CM10 on your HP Touchpad, or those considering upgrading to CM10:
Left CM10, Right CM9

Advantages of CM9:
-Stable
-Smooth
-Small weekly CyanogenMod updates
-Much higher Anututu score
Advantages of CM10
-Actively be part of the development community by sharing results with the devs JCScullins & Dorreguay who work hard in porting
-Google Now works perfectly
For one, CM10 is much more buggy. It's also very choppy, considering its running 'Project Butter'. Transitions between windows and apps isn't nearly as smooth as the CM9 build. Overall, CM9 is a much better experience on the HP Touchpad, and if you are not willing to put up with the hindrances of CM10, stick to CM9 until a stable-ler alpha release of CM10 hits XDA. In my opinion, Ice Cream Sandwich is better then Jelly Bean. I feel like Jelly Bean is going in the reverse direction, and Google is not thinking about the approach, "Why fix something' that ain't broke".
An example, when opening a link in an email, you get the option on which application/browser to open the link in. In ICS, you can click the app in the list that pops up, and boom! you're there. In JB, you have to click the app, and then click again to open the app. One might say, why don't you select "Always" such that you never see that prompt... well... my reason is the next point:
I like choosing! I like being able to open a link in Firefox over Chrome if the webpage im going to happens to work better in one over the other. Also, flash is the worst possible experience you can have in CM10 for the Touchpad. Browsers all handle embedded videos differently, and you will find yourself fighting with your tablet to get a simple video running, even if it's an embedded YouTube. It sometimes isn't straight forward to launch the video in the native YouTube application.
Well, if you guys have any questions for me, feel free to ask, as I have two Touchpads (gf uses the CM9 one), and have been using CM9 and CM10 consecutively. I wish to thank all devs in making the Android on the Touchpad a challenging and fun experience! If you only have a Touchpad as your main reason for coming to XDA, be thankful, as some devices aren't as clear cut as the community here in the Touchpad section. (The Wildfire S device I have is a complete nightmare)
Cheers for now!
Edit: With jelly bean 4.2.2 (CM10.1), Google seemed to fix the above-mentioned gripe with choosing the appropriate app to open the item. CM10.1 is fantastic, and certainly worth the upgrade. Most 10.1 ROMs work fine, minus the fact that Bluetooth does not work at all. If you rely on Bluetooth connections with your Touchpad, wait until this issue is fixed, before diving into 4.2.2.
I've been using CM9 as my daily driver for a while now. I've tried CM10 ROMs but always end up going back to CM9 as it just seems more stable. I don't really see any reasons for me to upgrade to JB at the moment. I appreciate the work devs are doing to port CM10 to the Touchpad.
Mmm,
1. Which picture is CM10!
2. Man, I looked for battery life, before installing jscullins...
3. It will be great if u did a video, to see the smoothness of both
Thanks

1. ok, coz i get 5637 under jscullins's rom, near galaxy 2
2. My TP is overcloacked.
Mine is too, at 1.7Ghz. Please explain how yours is at such a higher score.

Definitely appreciate the Devs for trying to port CM10 to H-pads. Hope they continue to get it fully worked out.
I've tried all the CM10 roms, but end up going back to CM9 mainly for stability.
Keep up the great works!
BuffMcBigHuge, since you have 2 Pads, what do you think about battery life on CM9?
Maybe you didn't install all patches for CM10, or your background services hindered the test.
i only see 1 picture
oops nevermind. i didn't notice the scroll bar under the text

I've had both the Targus case and an iPad 1 case just like you, and always seem to come back to the official HP case. I like how slim it is compared to the others.
BTW, Nice work comparing ICS and JB.
Flash support in ICS means I always come back to it, not having it in JB really is a downside. I've been wondering what features JB really offers as an advantage over ICS other than maybe a bit more of a polished look. Anyone?

BuffMcBigHuge, nice to hear it,
2. Sure CM9 is stable, but you don't get the butter
3. Jscullins has some hick-ups but fine with it, since i'm just for reading on it
3. galaxy s2 LTE uses the snapdragon 3 version, the score is near the Tab10 too
4. I wish for a final CM10.

You can get Flash on JB through the Adobe site link below, though I'm curious what you need it for, don't have it on my phone and have never needed it for anything.

My wife likes to watch video recipes on marthastewart.com, (lol) which as you can guess still requires flash. The performance in CM10 is so poor that it is nearly impossible to get to the video after all the advertisements. Leaves me wondering why it works 100% on my phone, with the same chip set.

Yes, flash is horrible on CM10. The flash area flickers (was going to say flashes, but that would sound wierd lol), and there are heavy graphical artifacts and bugs that tend to show stretching and skewing of the screen.
When HMTL5 takes over several flash videos, the experience isn't any better. For your wife, I would suggest backing up your apps with Titanium Backup, and then flashing CM9. My gf's touchpad uses CM9, and she hates using mine due to the issues with flash.
CM9 battery life. Not many stats due to the battery profile not running on CM9. Here, standby of 13 hours and slight usage caused a 15% battery drop, which is not bad at all.
thanks for the information
Thanks for all the info. I will stick with CM 9 for now and wait for CM10 to be more stable.
i got 4265 on my cm10 touchpad, not overclocked.
I have the jscullins's cm10 rom. It seems pretty stable. Chrome does not function very well but I just use another browser. I just like the layout with cm10 better.
I am running Schizoid's CM10 AIO and it's running pretty well, some applications have issues, but apparently recent updates have fixed them. Probably means I should update soon. Either way it's starting to feel like it's getting closer to a daily driver.
So, our Kernel situation is a bit of a mess...I recently went back to a couple UCMD3 ROMs, and for the life of me, I couldn't find it explicitly stated anywhere (except for one project, which was terribly outdated) what Kernels are supported where. I tried every Kernel out there on a few AOSP Roms (4.2.2 and 4.3), as well as a couple stock-based ROMs, and I only got 1 kernel to boot with the stock 4.1.2 based ROMs, and Uber is the only one that will boot with the 4.3-based AOSP ROMs, but it's been present during my SystemUI issues.
With those SystemUI issues, the random reboots, and a boatload of crashes being attributed to Non-4.3 based recoveries, and kernels, I think it'd be beneficial for us to have something clearly stated, even if it's supported merely by anecdotal proof.
What Kernels work for you? And what issues have you had while using them (we're not attributing problems to the kernels, we're just looking for combination problems. If everything is working great with your current set up, that information is even MORE valuable.
So what Kernel/ROM combination(s) are you using (have you used), and how is/was everything?

I always use the kernel included in the rom, now I have PacMan 4.3 Rom, the truth, I have not tried different kernels but I'll try, sorry I can not help

I always try and stick with kernel provided also, the developers put it in, so it is supposed to work.
I noticed the Super Everything has not been updated lately, but I really don't think there are as many options as used to be with everybody working feverishly on 4.3 rom's. I am also getting concerned that some are moving on to a different device. although locked bootloaders may keep them away from newest.
on 4.3, with the exception of the stock CM kernel, Uber is going to be your only option.
on 4.2, I believe you can still get the older 4.2 version from the nightly thread. I have not seen anything on any 4aces kernel in months it seems. I think BLOWNFUZE makes his own kernel for his AOKP, but I am not sure he has it extracted or for use with anything else but AOKP.
on 4.1.2, there is PTmr's Fuse kernel, but I think most/all of those links are down. might have to get a copy from someone else. I think there is an older version of Fuse kernel that works on 4.0, but I didn't have the Note then, so cant say for sure. BLOWNFUZE also made a 4.1.2 kernel, but that was specifically for BIGFAU and his BLACK JELLY.
in my opinion the 4.1.2's don't need alternate kernel as they are so solid already. it would be like applying a protective coating of wax on a candle, kind of unnecessary.
it is possible that our beloved Note may be at a critical point in development it seems. again, with 4.3........4.4??? .......new devices hitting market and new bootloaders being locked may be the cause of our limbo status. I may be wrong and sort of hope I am, we shall see. locked bootloaders may have some returning to action.
and I may be missing something in my list, it is just my opinion and what I see.
everyone should feel free to correct me, I am sure I am wrong about something, usually am
I pretty much agree with the Capt, although I do like to OC a little. This link will take you to some older kernels for our phone. http://goo.im/devs/flappjaxxx/i717/kernel

I've got a copy of 4aces 4/21 kernel and root box 4/20 and they are my backup which I usually go back to cuz it has been my best experience on jb. I went like a month without a rr..... But once again everyone's setups are totally different so what works for one person does not for others... Which you peeps prolly already know that shiz. =)

Yeah. I would suggest UBER also. Using that on beanstalk 4.3 and havent had any problems with it.
