I was thinking about putting one of these on my SGS2.
Can anyone suggest either of these over the other? I know I like AOKP but what improvements has Foxhound made over AOKP?
Thanks.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Currently AOKP is my daily driver and I've found it to be wonderful. Haven't actually installed Foxhound yet but it is based off of Cyanogenmod and AOKP so it's bound to be good. As I understand it Foxhound's main feature is the customization options. There are several different pre-loaded themes, which skin the rest of the ROM.
Hope that helped!

They are very different... one is a fox, the other is a unicorn
As stated, comparison threads aren't allowed here. Just read in both development threads and flash em both.

Everyone said the rule for me, but i will be nice and explain a bit more.
Really, there can never be one perfect rom for anyone. Only you can decide if you like a certain theme, and some people value certain features over others. What YOU need to do, is find out what you need the most, and then take a look at some of the ROMS out there, and find the one the fits the best.
Frankly, there are no really bad roms on this board; just some that may not be what you need.

I'm currently on ICScrewed 2.1 right now but i'm considering upgrading my phone to
ICS roms. However, there are two major choices right now: CM9 and AOSP
what is the difference between these two setup?
What exactly is the advantage of CM9 over AOSP or the other way around?
Are there any bugs that exist in these Roms?
just wanna clarify things a little bit

Look in ported development forum and check the respective Roms thread. Then READ them both so YOU can make a better decision of whats right for YOU.
CM9 is an AOSP ROM

Just flash them both and find out for yourself.

Well right now IMO the aokp and current cm9 builds are very similar since cm9 doesn't have a lot of the tweaks
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
don't do it I wasted my whole Saturday morning on those ics things in ported section
I recommend the AOKP build by Fenny in Ported Development. I love the rom and have been getting great battery life. I mostly use my phone for email, text and social networking and have no complaints nor have found any bugs.
I've tried them both. CM9 is easier, AOKP has more stuff. Best to look at the threads if you want to know how it matters for what you care about.
They are both very similar and you will be fine with either.
why has this q been in the general all day? red your starting to slack a bit haha im just kidding. its saturday woo hoo!
Things aren't quite ready yet... give it another day or two, the floodgates will open soon.
I've been on fennys aokp all day and I'm loving it. Just video recorder doesn't work and right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get pics to save to external memory . But its super fast and the features are awesome especially the ocing and uving built in. I've been playing with face unlock it fun. Camera is better and faster than gb.
Haven't tried cm9

I personal like AOKP. and I am a big CM fan. I've used CM9(altough I have tried CM9 since the 3/14/12 nightly) and AOKP sims alot nicer.
D/Ling the lastest CM9 now give it a try
Hands down no questions asked I gave been up and down both rims and aokp is better a lot more features and settings

Hi. first of all I just want to say that I'm a big admirer of XDA forums I've been following the forums for quite some time on various phones but I'm not very active in posts / replies due to my inexperience.
I'm sick of AT&T taking forever to give us ICS and I'm not willing to wait just to get a whole bunch of bloatware and the same old touchwiz. I've come across two good roms: Onlyone and Objection. I'm kind of leaning towards Objection because It's giving me two UI options: Android 4 and the new Touchwiz, but from the replies I got the impression that Onlyone is more stable. Are there any ROMS that use the official ICS code released by Samsung or not yet?
Here are my main concerns: battery life, ROM stability and speed, and of course the good additions like updated touchwiz, S-voice, etc.
Try them all and see which you like best. Nobody can tell you which is best, because that is purely opinion based. There aren't that many, so just learn how to use titanium backup so switching between roms doesn't take too long.

I am a power-user who hates lag. The collective Mesosphere is for you... then install NovA Launcher and zoom zoom... your on your way. Don't bother with other ****ty roms, i've tried them.
Thanks for the replies. I'll definately utilize titanium backup and I'll look into The collective Mesosphere with nova and zoom zoom =)
Mesosphere is rocking it! GB has to get gone, you'll be glad it did. I haven't tried other rooms yet, admittedly. So far I don't have a need to.

Are you running the rom standard or have you enabled tablet mode? I just flashed it, need to put it through its paces.

Are you running tablet or phone mode?
If you prefer the unmodified, pure Android experience that you would get on a Nexus device, you can come close with a CyanogenMod based ROM. These are my personal favorites as they are practically bloat-free and don't have any carrier/manufacturer customizations. The downside on the Note is that there is no S-Note/S-Memo. Hopefully the CM devs will get these apps to work eventually, but the S-Pen does work.
If you like the TouchWiz interface then try one of the TW/ICS leak based ROMs such as OnlyOne. That was the first ICS ROM I tried and I liked it, but overall I prefer CM9.
you can try those ROMs from this guy - flappjaxxx. They are the unofficial CM9 ROM and UCLE2 stock-base ROM. They are really solid, stable, daily drivers and supported well by the awesome developer. These roms get very good comments from XDA-users.
I've tried every single rom.
for CM9- I'd use Mesosphere the rest were pretty unstable.
For Ucle2 + S-pen functionality i'd use FJ's Build. Onlyone was laggy for me.

This is like asking what beer should I drink or who is the best Golden Girl. Everyone is going to have different answers and you really need to try some and find your favorite.
That being said I am a big fan of flappjaxxx's UCLE2 rom.
My recommendation is to go with the Unofficial build of CM9 by h0tw1r3.
Nothing beats the cleanliness of AOSP, and the added features that Cyanogen throws in are well worth it.
I have been running it since he released the first build and it is extremely stable. And thanks to CalcProgrammer1, it was just updated and we may even see nightly builds.
Thanks Calc!

I just ordered an Amaze for $250 and I am pretty stocked, coming from the mytouch 4g. I noticed that a lot of the roms appear to not have data working. Is there a complete ics rom you would recommend to flash for the first rom? Also how is stock ics rom?
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 using xda premium
Stock rooted most stable and is the best rom for this phone imo. ARHD was my favorite deodexed.
If you want mods and a different aosp look.. you can do all that yourself on one of the two above with flashable mods and nova launcher.
Its probably best to read up on all of the ROMs and try them yourself to make your own judgement. This thread will just lead to a few devs shouting out their own roms and their fans following close behind. I know this because this isnt the first time a thread like this has appeared. Im sure u searched before posting though so no worries

I agree with GG
go stock rooted, or ARHD. The phone on ics is pretty darn fast
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
I've never really had any issues with ARHD and would suggest it.
I cant wait to get this phone. It is miles ahead of the Mytouch 4G yes I will read up and research and ask questions if A) can't find something or more likely don't understand what is being explained. Any gingerbread roms worthy enough to look at?

For ICS, I'd suggest ARHD (as previously posted). However, for Gingerbread, I'd suggest BulletProof. BulletProof is what I was running prior to migrating to ICS.
Thanks everyone I would definitely flash ARHD first that is after I get a feel for stock rom. I also found the the Amazing guide stickied on the dev section to really nice. I hope to see it explode pretty soon
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 using xda premium
I tried most if not all ROMs. If you want ICS I say go with NRGs stock Rom with faux new kernel. Been my daily driver for a few months now except the kernel that just dropped. If your gonna be on GB then I also 2nd Bulletproof.
Patiently waiting for some CM9 or 10. Which looks like we'll probably have by August, September.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Whether you use energy with or without stock look, it is the rom I keep going to.. I never have issues with it. I debloat the hell out of it mind you, I don't leave rosie or any other sense feature, but as far as stability, battery, etc is concerned, it is my default rom of choice, and I have tried them all pretty extensively.
If you get the latest build you have to make sure to increase the minimum clock speed to 384 which just requires two little edits in the init.post_boot.sh file in the system/etc directory.
And despite what GG said, even tho I love him(no homo), I am not a fanboy by any means..
I use hd revolution on sensation and amaze. On amaze, it will give you out of box ui but in back processes, lot of optimization were made.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Used ARHD when I had my amaze 4g and never used anything else, that was when it only had GB though, now that I got a GNex, I'm still using ARHD, one of the best Roms out there, no problems whatsoever, stable, and Mike is an all around great guy who puts much care into his Roms. (Not to say that others don't, I've used so many Roms its unbelievable, just like everyone else, and all devs are AWESOME!!!)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My word isn't really needed at this point, but **** it - Android Revolution HD (ARHD), just like the others have said.
Trewyy
Engery Rom is thee best choice
Energy Rom is the best in my opinion. I tried both clean rom and ADRHD or whatever it is call. I like Energy because it is Stable. Battery life to me is awesome, especially when I use my hotspot, Bluetooth and playing Poweramp plus I do play games and etc... Anyways that what I would recommend. Personally choose whatever fits your needs and do not go based off what we say. Remember the most popular rom for the Amaze may not be the best or work for your phone. Not all phones are created the same.

Stable, clean, great battery life and fully working. :good:
I did a bit of searching, and couldn't find a good matrix of features etc for different Roms. There are so many now:
Cm10
Aosp
Liquid
Paranoid
Aokp
Eclipse
Jelly beer
Padawan
And that's just a small sampling... i have been mostly on cm10 and am curious what I'd get or lose going to sine of these other options, but don't have time to try them all...
So the question is, what are some big differences?
Thanks

Bean's scratches both itches for me! :good:
I've flashed several recently, I'm currently on AOKP MR1 but I'm going to switch to Beans once build 11 comes out. I found AOKP/AOSP to be missing features, mainly in the core apps like e-mail and sms. Battery life also seems to be much worse in AOKP/AOSP, and I find there to be a few bugs, some major some minor.

I found eclipse 1.4, which is built on touchwiz, to have the best aosp feel to me. It cures that aosp itch for anyone. I wish tweaked VZW was aosp themed.
