Just wondering if anybody else out there is strange like me and actually prefer CyanogenMod over AOKP. This is based on past experiences. I know AOKP is new to this device and is still buggy. This is not a complaint thread. Awesome job to the devs for getting us this far..

I thought the hivemind was in favor of CyanogenMod. At least, that is the preference I've generally seen. I haven't tried AOKP though, so I'm looking forward to trying it.
So far, yes. But, keep in mind aosp is still in very early development.

In terms of finished aosp, AOKP IS way better than CM9 . More features, way more. Aokp is stable as cm is. I know since im on the nexus but as a finished product the aokp will be the favorite, youll see. But i guess since aosp is early on this device you think cm is better cause of its name and past success. I think they failed at CM9.. they were really slow with deving and features

AOKP seems like it's not very mature. CM on the other hand has been around for a while, so I'm more inclined to use CM. I don't really care about extra features, I just want the basic "Google experience."

same here for my nexus i tried cm and aokp and bamf but the features are well kinda unnecesary to me.....i like the basic cleaness of stock aosp maybe with limited features like theme manager would make for a great rom
Cool.. I didn't say anything about this device.. My preference has nothing to do with Devin's AOKP build. I am just referring to past devices and experiences. I know AOSP is brand new to Rezound and I am not putting down anybody's work.
I prefer CM myself. I wouldn't have any problem settling on AOKP if I had to though (well, except for the unicorns)

lol.. yeah the Unicorns are a little too much and agree with Joel on the features that I haven't used and probably will never use.
I don't get the AOKP hate.
1) Unicorns you can ignore them. Change the bootanimation.zip. The rest of them you never see until you change your wallpaper. You can even delete it all from the ROM.zip if you want.
2) Extra features- you don't have to use them. Having the code in them doesn't slow the ROM down or affect you. If you don't open ROM Control, you never see them.

amen. personally, i think the unicorns are a good conversation stater
I prefer AOKP, though I have a special place in my heart for CM. Its really funny actually. Last year at this time exactly my Droid 2 got cm7 and my Rezound has AOKP and CM9 at the same time a year later. I run AOKP because I'm a tweak *****, but I do really like CM's no BS no frills attitude. I'm mainly running aokp because I've never tried it before. Aside from heating and the usual issues, I've been pretty happy. Soft keys are buggy though.

yeah, jelly is a great rom. so is paradigm, as well. bamf=quality.
but yeah, i put CM9 on the rezound after trying AOKP and i just like the feel of CM9 more.
Unicorns
The additional features of AOKP can be enticing but they tend to come at the expense of battery life and overall smoothness when compared to CM9. I've yet to run either on my rezound but that was my general experience on other devices.
Furthermore, unicorns are mythical creatures devoid of genitalia that transcend the petty realm of sexuality. See Donnie Darko's explanation of smurfs for further reference.

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.

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!

Since upgrading to stock ICS from gingerbread (pre root), I've had nothing but problems, so I'm hoping a custom ROM cam solve this. My gps and notification sounds don't work, and the battery life has gone down the tubes.
I basically looking for a great stock gingerbread rom, or a stable ICS ROM that can provide me with the original stability and functionality this phone once provided. Suggestions? I am currently using the 3.0.35-siyah v3.4.2 nomswap+ktoonsez kernel.
Thanks everyone!

If you're looking to replace stock gingerbread, then as 122ninjas said I would recommend going with ShoStock2. It's my daily driver. If you go with AOKP or another AOSP type ROM, You'll have to find substitutes for all the touchwiz -based applications that you're used to.

I could say the same thing for PhoneBricker even though it is no longer supported. Point is, as you know ninja, ROMS and kernels play differently on each phone. Also, each gives a unique user experience.
OP, flashing correctly takes about 10-15 minutes not including download time. So, not having time doesn't work as a reason. Not being rude. It's easy to do while you're:
Taking shower

Once you start flashing stuff with CWM the deepest trouble I have been in is needing a factory reset. But if you are really scared then go ahead and download all the return to stock + root files and mobile odin and stuff. I just did that in case of emergencies.

Takes that long for the ROM to flash. Then add kernel cleaner and Gapps. Then reboot + re-optimization... Taking closer to 10 minutes. Add a few more minutes and you've got a great estimate of 10-15. EVERYONE has 10-15 minutes in their day to flash a ROM considering it's hands off once you press "go". See my examples.
The post above this has a great tip for anyone who wants to be prepared for the worst.

If you want more of an AOSP look to your Note 2, then Beans is the way to go -- he themes his ROM's to give you that AOSP look.
CleanROM is not themed, but very light weight in terms of removed bloatware and other tweaks that the dev has done to the ROM.
I prefer CleanROM since I'm not really a big fan of the AOSP look/feel (I know.. I'm in the minority here).
But as others have said, you can't go wrong with either ROM, they are fantastic. I'm just hoping some of the themer's out there come to this phone as they did on the S3.

I don't know. I am the only member with a Note 2 and the abuse seen from some people lately has put off other members. The sense of entitlement from the Android community chases off more talent than anything else.
So, I won't say no, but will leave it as a fading hope, that is still in 'maybe' status but could change to a resounding 'NO'.

I've seen a lot of devs stop releasing stuff because of all the bs. I wish most devs would just post a "this is my rom, take it or leave it but don't B!TCH!" and just release it as they built it for themselves and let others create mods instead of trying to cater to everyone.
Can we please keep on topic for a change.

I loved your roms on the Alltel HTC Touch (Vogue). You gave us a lot of things to play with on that phone.
Has anyone here used both? I'm currently using ViperDNA but considering moving towards CyanogenMod 10.1 as it appears to be more and more stable as a daily driver.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Backup and try it out
Everyone has different preferences, so you will get any number of different opinions
Yeah you just have to try it man I'd personal try like slim bean or carbon may jelly beer those are all soils choices and they are more option loaded then cm10.1. Just as stable as well

I agree give it a shot. I personally am not a big fan of Cm 10.1. I like the more polished roms. The Sense 5 Dream rom and Viper are my favorites.

Agreed with what everyone else said, just try it out. You'll get 100s of different opinions. I've tried both and continue to bounce back and forth between the two. They are both phenomenal ROMs with very talented developers.
Viper has full features (otg + mhl) I had trouble with those on cm. But cm is a lot leaner... They definitely both have pros and cons

Depending on which Rom you use I've noticed aosp is snappier where it matters but has it drawbacks as far as widgets goes. Viper is the best sense Rom IMO. Always the best customizations and amazing support. I'm torn at times which one to run day to day but I usually stick with the least problematic. Aosp for DNA has some kinks to iron out so I'm holding out for that.

Unfortunately, I've had nothing but trouble with the Viper ROM. Absolutely LOVE it, but my 4G almost never worked, and I constantly lost all connectivity altogether randomly. Moved to Cm10.1 and haven't had any issues yet. I miss Viper though.
thinking about rooting and installing ROM][09/09/2013]M7WLV Port is ths rom TOTALLY BUG FREE??
I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't found a problem yet.
I'm not sure that any of the Rom's are totally bug free. Most of the sense based ROMs are pretty good! I'm not a big sense user but the ones I have tried work really well.

Cool thanks guys
There is no "best" ROM. Every ROM is great, as we have some rockin' awesome devs. It just boils down to preference.
Sense based:
Software designed for our hardware, less bugs, not many features, but things just.... Work.... You want to stay sense but want a metric S*** ton of features? Try Viper DNA, if you want a little less features, try NOS.
AOSP based:
Made for all iterations of Android devices, more prone to bugs, limited by software (I noticed AOSP camera compared to Sense on this device is a joke IMO, as Sense camera is MADE for this brand of phone, AOSP is made for a plethora of devices). You get nice features with no loss of performance (to a degree). With AOSP you get that Stock Android feel Google intends without OEM putting their skin on top of it.
It really boils down to the features you want, and the way you want your phone to act. Some Roms fly, some don't. It all is just the nature of the beast. Best to try a few out, just be sure to search that ROM's thread for any bugs, reviews, and features.

i've been running it for a while pretty bug free lol, i also run viperdna also pretty bug free, depends on what im feeling, clean stock vs super customization
ABFP (Android Bug Free Project). Just kidding. Anyway, Sense ROMs definitely have the least bugs, but the AOSP ROMs are pretty good too, mostly everything works. I suggest you give the Google Play Edition ROM a try though, It's got all the benefits of being a sense-based ROM but it feels like pure AOSP. It doesn't have all the cool features of the real AOSP ROMs though.

My answer to this question is simple.. Though there are many great roms based on AOSP, they are all based on the CM 10.2 source.. For me, there are still too many bugs that I consider to be showstoppers ... I love AOSP and always will.. but I've been running Sense 5 since Joelz released just the rom OP is asking about.. now I've moved to Venom since I'm a tester and it frankly just works. Battery life is good, performance.. etc. It's all there.. I think there is a strange issue with Skype, but I don't use it.. those that do I feel bad, especially those that use it for phone calls, Venom will fix it.. just in time. :good: ... But honestly, this question can't be answered by anyone but you. Flash all the roms available, give them 3 days each.. operate like you normally do on your phone and see.. Really the only way.. But the most 'bug fee' will always be on Sense based roms.. :highfive:
Running gpe right now because I needed to use viber. With xposed it looks just like any other aosp rom. Maybe I'm just biased, but it doesn't feel as snappy as the proper cm/aosp roms.

I've noticed it doesn't feel as snappy, but I think it feels smoother if that makes any sense.

We don't allow best rom threads. They never turn out well. Thanks
