i use gingercruzt v2.3. i fell fast & very smooth with this rom ;-)
sorry for my worst english
I use ICS2 since a few week, fast and smooth
Sent from my GT-S5830
ICS2 is CyanogenMod, right?
Anyway, I'm using GingerCruzt 2.3. Very smooth and swift; very much better than CM7.1, IMO.
Although ICS2 is faster, it's very barebones and setting it up is a big hassle for me.

i gave u the thx because i like ur sig =P
how's battery life in GingerCruzt?
I use [Rom] BehradGH Rom Series | CyanogenMod 7.1 2.3.7 RC 2.2 "2011.10.21" "Cyano Ace"
Stable, fast, no eroors !
I tryed these 3 roms that you linked and found some bugs like : A2SD doesn't work, eroor with "not enough space" and more ...
The battery is drain in 1-2 days ...
Gingercrutz & ics2, both r based on cm7.2. Both r gud roms, but ics2 is faster bcoz its barebone. No much default apps like gingercurtz. Less apps = less ram consumed & less ram consumed = less battery consumed.
Sent from Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 using Jusada's awsum ICSunday2 + Slaidmod script.
Dont jus say thanks, use d 'THANKS' button. [XDA RULE]
IMO just stick with ICS2..ive been using this ROM since jusada first released it..and i'm not having any issues til now..Very Fast and Stable..
Battery Life: im using it for 1d 17h and still on 27% battery left..been using it the normal way but most of the time im using it to play GBA games..
hope this helps
I've tested at least 20 ROMs since getting my phone a couple of months back but the ICS2 bare bones is fast smooth and battery Life is brilliant.
I did calibrate the battery the other night because i've changed roms so much and it really made a huge difference stays on 100% for nearly 10 hours on stand by.

Actually:
less ram consumed = does not affect battery at all.
Having 300MB or 0MB of free RAM will not affect the battery because it takes the same amount of power to run an empty RAM and a full RAM.
For me it is cyanogenmod 9 ALPHA 6 ROFL)
I'm using Speed Blur now and I don't feel like changing anymore after trying everything else. Well, except for the ICS port is finished
i prefered cynogenmod 7.1 by grif_07 becoz it is most stable and many people using it. cyanogenmod 7.2 is also fast and stable but it has some minor bug like lag on some game and even modern combat sandstorm cant run at all
Btw if u like ics2 it up to u
Hi everyone!

+1 Omega, then maybe FAT or vo-1 CMs for the most stable, if you wanna go wild wild west, then definitely try Maclaw's CM9, Lewa, MIUI by TeamCooper and any other you see currently being updated. Lost of action going on here right now.
I would recommend infinity v2 from and omega from for best performance and stability
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
So,
+2 vote for Omega
+1 vote for Radon Mod
+1 vote for infinity v2
I dont want to do crazy things. Just daily using, internet and gaming thats all
Thank you very much for everybody for the answers, i am going to try them one by one in time. First with Omega i guess
+1 cm7.2 KANG by vo-1
The new omega rom v3 is super fast. It can b overclocked to 902 Mhz and it is stable too. So +2 omega rom v3

Stick with cm7
Head over to CM9 when majority of bugs are fixed ie Data
Or try SE NEO TWEAKED
CM9 fxp 112 has data working for me on xperia neo,while miui data and other things arent working probably.i would recommend KA07 or cm7 which am currently on very stable bt battery life nt the best !.

Miui is based on CM9 - so no difference here, appart from UI.
I am using jjdoctor's ROM, hybrid based on Sony's beta release.
EVERYTHING works!
Very light ROM, very fluid!
Very stable as well.
I have had only some minor issues when playing music over BT headphones - it works, but sometimes it just stops playing. And I press play again and that's it.
All the features still not working on CM9 like HDMI, FM, Flash and GSM data are working in jjdoctor's rom - so I recommend it!
it will depend on your preferences so as what others said, you should try them all and choose whats suits your needs.
I would recommend you KA 09, too. It´s a great rom, i only have a problem with the smothness in hd games. Apart from that it´s very stable.
im using right now the cm7.2 and is working great so far very stable, i wanna try the cm9 but alot people arre having problem whit gms data so lets wait for a week until they realse the ics
im currently using the miui 2.2.24 fast and clean posted in the list of rom and i must say battery life is so much better will give u at least 2days in idle mode 12hrs in moderate use and 5-7 heavy use down side is that fc and restart is present but its present in other so no real problem to that im eying ka 09 ics and mooded 30.5 fxp 9.0 and 7.0 hog battery life even with w/ set cpe idle mode low cpu and juice defender i prefer battery and stability anyday of the month over fluidity and performance

Hey Guys ...
Ive tested each of the following ROMs for smoothness , speed , battery life , and bugs(if any) on my mango (mini pro)
i use my fone mostly for browsing, watching videos, messaging, using facebook, whatsapp, viber, skype etc at the same time... i dont play games at all!
Ive used MESA Kernel cos it gives better Battery life so ive started testing with that
ive used smartass v2 governor, and noop i/o scheduler... max freq- 1.018 and min freq- 134.
please press thanks on the individual review post if you think it accurately describes the ROM, that way we can judge the accuracy of the reviews. if your experience with the ROM was any different, please write about it and i will be more careful while testing any future updates.

rage kernel suits with all
XMP rules!!!
in my test:
MESA Kernel: slow boot in XMP (about 1-2 minutes in sony ericsson logo), but is the only problem (i use it actually, for me is the best battery saver with good performance)
Rage kernel: if you dont like slow boot or other bugs is your best option
Kernel Panic: works well, has KSM (i dont see any diference in ram use) and other unique features, but... it has CWM 6 and is buggy (especially with aroma installers and usb mount) and applications like cpu spy doesnt work properly :S
Extended Stock kernel: is the same as stock kernel...
Mesa all tha way.........
thanks for ur feedback ppl
im gonna try MESA coz i really need battery life ! ill see whether the bugs are bearable .. otherwise ill switch to Rage !

Real ICS Lite r4 reviewed
ok so m done using real ICS lite r4
it is a very smooth and fast ROM ! noticed very very few lags n stutters. its always lags a little when u move really fast in the gallery. but no1 really moves that fast so that dosent matter.. also sometimes the icons on the widget take a sec to load when u press the home button .. they load up quite fast so its not that irritating. but if u hav too many widgets it myt take a lil more tym i guess. din find any major bugs ...usb otg works fine. this is faster than the AOSP ROM i was using earlier!!
the ROM has a the Xperia launcher with corners and it looks really good (though we cant see the corners in landscape).. its fast and responsive. notification panel has quick seetings and a brightnes slider too. u can choose to install sony apps while flashing through aroma installer (very noob friendly). though i wish
the details of each option were mentioned in the ROMS post so that i kno what im choosing (screenshots).. for example if i knew that the walkman bootanimation had sound along with it i woudnt have chosen it,..
charged the phone to 100% and didnt touch it from 11pm to 5 am .. and the batter came down to 94% ...thats 1% per hour. but on moderate usage through out the day the battery gave up at 7 30 pm ...
on the 2nd day of testin battery lasted from 9 30 pm to 3 30 pm the next day...fone was connected to wifi 65% of the time and on 2g for the rest
the battery life is pretty good i guess... can only say after i chek the other ROMs out as well
i just tested temple run n it runs super smooth with no lag at all...
quadrant : 1429
antutu : 3491
U can test out the ROM urself and dont forget to thank the developer kobzar666 !

Various Gingerbread ROMs reviewed
Hi Friends, this thread is aimed at all the newbies who want to know which ROM to use and the specialty of each ROM. I myself have tried all the ROMs mentioned here but many people find it difficult to find the perfect ROM for themselves from this vast ocean of ROMs available. Please note this list does not contain names of all the ROMS available. It contains only the ones tried by me. So please go through this thread, you might find it useful. Further, the comments below are based on my own experience. The reviews are not intended to make fun, complain or demotivate anyone. Just a frank opinion from me for further development.
Scoring System
Scores are given on the following basis:
2 points for Internal memory
2 points for Theme and Look
1 point for performance
Please do not be shocked to see the less weight given to performance as almost all ROMs here are high on performance with more or less same performances. Further these scores are as per my liking and not as per user comments. Also DO NOT blindly follow the score. You may have a different view from mine.
Stock Based ROMs:
SGS III v12 by Spacecaker
Well, this Rom is not actually new, It recieved an update a few days back and hence I come to edit the review. No change in performance as compared to previous version (+0.5), minor changes in UI, bringing in a smoother feel and some resized images (+1.5). A very good Rom most people would swear by it. For internal memory one can expect 125MB (approx) (+1.0). One of the best in terms of battery life (my useage is heavy, 3hrs of wi-fi browsing and 2hrs talk on 2G. The battery lasts for 1 day 10 hrs. Performance is good but nothing to write home about. Also after installing few apps and a few days use the ROM showed some lags. My score (3/5). Otherwise a very good ROM for daily use.
S'Periance Final by Ver3go
Now this is one of the most popular ROMs out there. Smooth, fast, light weight & barebones. All what anybody would want out of a ROM (+1) for performance and (+1) for look as it is simple holo. Internal memory around 130MB (+1.0). Avg RAM consumption is awesome. But the ROM lags a bit behind in terms of battery life as compared to other ROMs tried by me. Again in terms of Battery Life every user has a different experience.Score(3/5). For more info, visit the development thread.
StockRom Evolution by G.Galante
Now this is the ROM which I cannot do without. Awesome speed,superb performance, light weight, modded UI, 14 toggles and a lot more(+ 0.75). The theme is basic but a bit more appealing than stock (+0.5). The internal memory you can get is around 130MB (+1.0). Battery life is similar to the ROM by Spacecaker and average RAM consumption is also very less but a bit higher than StockLite though. Yes this also gets a bit laggy after installing few apps but the best part is that apps dont take time at all to launch. My Score (2.25/5).
StockLite V8 by tj_droid
A ROM which once created a rage amongst users. This ROM is very light, stable and fast ROM. The final version of this ROM has been released and it won't get any more updates. Using this ROM for few days, found battery life great. Gives me 1d 10 hrs useage. Performance is also superb, absolutely no lags and no force closes (+1). However the look is completely stock (+0.25). The apps too open up quickly.Also got a lot of internal Memory free (121MB) which is not the highest I'm getting among the Roms mentioned here (+1). It is the fastest booting ROM as I noticed, but again the major minus point I found was with the toggles mod. But still a good ROM for daily use.This is my Score (2.25/5).
M'Rage by MatZ69
Ok, just flashed this ROM. It is highly themed and very fresh to look at. The best part it such highly themed ROMs are generally CM7 based but this ROM offers the stability of stock ROM (+2). The UI is refreshing & attractive. Although the RAM useage is a bit high, without installing any apps the useage was 170MB. After clearing RAM the usage goes down to 111mb which is again a bit high. Internal storage is awesome as you get 147MB for yourself (+2). Tested the ROM the whole day and I guess I don't need to wait more to draw a conclusion. The performance is a bit on the low side as it gets slow n laggy after installing a few apps and heavy use (+0). But given the UI and the modification options it can be a very good ROM for people who only need the phone to call and message with light useage. Score (4/5).
Touchwiz UX 5.0 by Nathan
Flashed this Rom for a second go, found it a bit incomplete in the first attempt, maybe was not flashed properly. Well, the Rom is Nicely themed to match the Name given to it. The launcher is of the modified Holo launcher variety and is smooth with a lot of transition and customization options(+1.5). There is also the Accuweather widget. However, during initial usage performed well, giving an Internal memory of 113MB, which I found to be the lowest among all Rom's mentioned here(+0.5). The Rom is pretty smooth until some actually heavy apps are thrown in. After installing 20 apps(all moved to ext partition), the Rom showed BIG LAGS and all the excitement of the first use was drowned(+0.5). Battery life is again what one can expect out of BE Kernel (1d some hrs on average useage). However, people wanting a fresh S4 look may give this ROM a go but remember not to stuff it up with apps. Thus this ROM scores (3/5).
JellyBean Revolution Light V3 by Kranti
A nice stock Rom hiding there. The ROM gave me an internal memory of 141 mb on first install which was very good and second only to M'Rage Rom(+1.5). The ROM is Xperia themed and is very good as the Xperia launcher provides a lot of customization options(+1). Performance wise it is quite good apart from occasional lag while opening big apps. However no lag on Launcher(+1). Battery wise same as any other stock ROM with BE kernel. However the modem drivers were a bit annoying. Wi-Fi shows error sometimes and bluetooth headset was not being able to connect. But this can be sorted out by changing the modem drivers. On the whole, a good package. I give a total of (3.5/5) for this ROM.
CM7 based ROMs:
The Ultimatum by The 'A' Factor
Now this is the most stable CM7 based ROM I found. It contains many features. The ROM has just recieved its final update. Aroma Installer helps customization and choose the features users want. The themeing options are too good, like no other (+2). The performance (specially gaming) is awesome (+1). Internal memory is aroung 130MB (+1.5). Battery life is one of the best in CM7. Ideal ROM for gaming also. My score (4.5/5). Well the update has brought about changes only in terms of performance. Many claim that it's better but as per me the changes were minimum. Further a slight LAG was noticed in scrolling the App Drawer in some cases in V3. These lags were not there in V2.9. You may see the 3rd page of this thread for my review.
Miracle v4 by Itasoulas
This ROM is a bit old and most of the newer ROMs use this ROM as their base. Users looking for the latest work by the dev can try the Apocalypse ROM by Itasoulas. Good in battery life and highly customizable, this ROM is a delight to use. It comes with a transparent theme & blue lockscreen shortcuts/keys made by team carbon that make the looks appealing. Sorry no score being alloted as this is a ROM which is respected and used by many devs as a base. But still a very fast & clean compilation, great for daily use.
MIUI v6 by Gabreek
This ROM has a really good feel about itself, a very nice attempt to get the MIUI look (+1.5). Call screens are themed, settings and almost everything is themed to look like MIUI. Apart from the visual elements I could not find any thing worth a special mention here. Although the OP claims of no lags, the settings page is still very laggy and also when receiving a call the screen takes 5 secs to show up (+0). Apart from these no other major issue was found. I may suggest it to those who just want to go for MiUi. Internal around 120MB (+1). Good in battery life and highly customizeable also. Total score
Monster X4.2 by HardSol7
This ROM is quite similar to The Ultimatum ROM in terms of performance but boasts a higher benchmark and is actually a bit fast and zippy at some places (+1). This wont allow any user to complain about performance but yes, many would not like the Transparent background of settings, notifications and dialer which makes it really hard at times to read (+1). Further as mentioned by the OP the ROM has live wallpaper support, which most CM7 Roms lack including the Ultimatum ROM. Also I would like to point out that the Launcher provided here is Launcher Pro (Which I feel provides less options than Holo Launcher) which can always be changed. Lastly internal memory is again around 130MB (+1). Score (3/5).
Nitrogen "The Resurrection"
This is the ROM most users love for its Fresh look. Everything is themed from top to bottom, the call-screen, icons, status bar and everything. It's got a very fresh look and gives you an option to choose from Smart Launcher and SS Launcher this forces me to give a (+2). Coming to the performance the scripts used in this ROM are similar to The Ultimatum but performance is a note better (at least with the Smart Launcher). Gaming, multi-tasking and everything about the performance is good so a (+1) there. Coming to the internal memory, the ROM relies on memory mod kernel by PSN so no comments there. But one thing worth a mention is that being LOADED with performance scripts, the Battery Life is actually a bit better than most CM7 ROMs. Well, actually the ROM relies on wi-fi sleep and other sleep policies to achieve the battery life. So all and all I give the ROM a (3/3) (Cannot score the internal memory part so ignored).
Revolution Ultimate V2 by KrantTi
Quite old a ROM to begin with but hold, this ROM is superbly smooth and light. The first thing one would notice is the theming. The theming takes help from Theme chooser of Cm7 ROMs but let me tell you that the theming is awesome. You get the choice to select Xperia S or Xperia Arc theme and both are an eye candy. So a (+2) for theme and look. Coming to the internal memory the baby offers 125MB of internal memory which is again Not bad at all. So a (+1.0) for that. Last but not the least, the performance of this ROM is good. Smooth UI, smooth transitions and a light weight launcher. Battery life was also on the average side. So a (+0.75). Total Score stands at (3.75/5).
CM7 Apo-K-lypse ROM
This is a nice ROM. Uses apocalypse as the base. Despite being loaded with what I'd call bloatware (adfree, youtube downloader, etc.), the ROM still manages to blow off the benchmark score. It is great performance wise so I give it a (+1). Themeing, it uses what looks like a modded theme of the reincarnation ROM with a flaming android in the status bar. But the theme ain't the most pleasing of what I've seen so a (+1.5) for it. Internal storage is something that depends on your partition size (the ROM uses cronmod script). There's also a non sd-ext version of it so you can try it to have a non-expanded storage. I give a (+1) for storage. As a whole, the ROM gets a score of (3.5/5).
Reincarnation ROM v3
I simply love the theme of this ROM. So a straight (+2) for the themeing. Performance is descent but not great relatively. I give a (+0.8) for performance. Storage space available is spacy enough for me, so a (+1) for that. This ROM scores (3.8/5).

CM7 Ace ROM
The only reason this ROM hasn't created a hype it should have created is the lack of users on the ace forums these days. Everyone's bidding farewell to our dear ace & buying new phones these days. Can't help it. I give a (+1) for this ROM straight away for its classy performance. The performance is simply awesome as that of the apocalypse ROM. Integrated with the aroma installer, you get to choose your favourite launcher & theme off the 3 choices available. So a clean (+1.25) for the focus enhanced on themeing. Storage again has an option in the aroma installer with a choice between cronmod script & a no script unexpanded clean internal memory. I give a (+1.75) for this innovation & user friendly approach. The only thing I didn't like was, the language used in the aroma installer. It was may be Spanish, which not really everyone knows & speaks. So this ROM gets a score of (4/5) from my side !
Good work there. Please keep this thread updated. You can also score roms on basis of performance, features, stability and battery life.
Would help a lot to answer ppl who ask questions about choosing the right rom.
Wish this was a sticky.

Adrenaline ROM (the last one, not the not booting one), it is the best stock ROM I have ever tried, fast, barebone, stable, decent battery life...etc.

This Version is a bit old as compared to the ROMs i tried. Will wait for the latest ROM to be fixed and then will review it.
Despite being old and have no updates, the LastMyth rom by themythteam, is still the more flawless that I used :highfivedespite the white in status bar)

even if roms are old they can be good
as stock roms are always pretty stable they have a longer life
as for ace development on new roms are reducing because almost everything has already been done so there are like almost no new ideas anymore

I agree mate. There are so many good and stable ROMs out there like BALD EAGLE, BLACKHAWK, XPERIATIZD which is again your work, ADRENALINE older version, etc.
But Not possible to review each and every ROM. Further I only am trying ROMs which are considerably new as they incorporate or are based on older ROMs.
Am currently waiting release of Adrenaline Final and M'Rage. Both r good waiting to review them.

Actually I prefer to try only Stock Based Roms as i am a heavy user and thus need a good battery life to last me for a day. Hence i use BE 1.2 which unfortunately does not work with CM Roms i guess.
