Okay, since Jelly Bean came to the Photon (and Electrify!), we've had nearly half a dozen ROMs pop up. Let's review, shall we?
1. Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 0.1.1 by jokersax
2. Paranoid Android 1.9.5 by Th3Bill
3. XenonHD 8.11 by Th3Bill
4. CNA (Codename: Android) 3.10 by Th3Bill
5. AOKP Build 8 by Th3Bill
...and I coulda sworn there was a second CM10 build floating around for a while.
So we have 5 of them.
Guys, what's the difference? They all have the sweet Android 4.x UI. They all have Google Now. They all have per-app notification muting. And they all have the expanded notifications, like hanging up a call or responding to a missed call with a call back or a text message.
I know Paranoid Android has the hybrid tablet stuff. That's awesome.
When I asked what AOKP did, I was told it had swagger, whatever that means. Oh, and a pink unicorn. If I were a brony, that would be my first and only choice.
But seriously, what are the differences? If you use one over the other, why?
I use Joker's CM10 right now, because presently all the other ROMs appear to be based on it.
Each ROM has their own little tweaks/added settings/perks. Like MIUI has a battery bar that can go across the top of the screen in a thin line all the way across to easily see your battery level. And most(if not all) JB and ICS based ROMS are based upon Jokers work so they all have the same base(if something doesnt work in Jokers CM9/10 it most likely is broke in all variants). Different theming, system apps, just the overall feel are found between all different ROMs. There really is no way to just pick one and say this is the best or anything, its all based upon your personal preferences. My advice would be to sit down when your bored with a while to kill and make backups and go to town flashing them all and using them for a while and finding out which one works for you the best. I personally like CM9/10 the most, but the Paranoid is pretty sweet and will most likely be my new daily ROM once MMS is up and running without GoSms.
He explained it pretty much on point and MMS is now working 100% ... from my experience JB CNA has the best battery life

We haven't gotten Jelly Bean officially. We haven't even gotten ICS officially.
What we DO have is CyanogenMod 10! Which is based off Jelly Bean. That was released for us by jokersax11 shortly after Cyanogen released preview builds of CM10.
The best part is, surprisingly, CM10 is more stable than CM9 (which is based off ICS) was for us. CM10 has working Browser rotation, working MMS, and a much more stable Camera! The Video Cam is something to be desired but a small price to pay for the latest and greatest when really tho, our Photons still only officially have Gingerbread (Android 2.3.4/5).
If your someone who has updated their Photon to 2.3.5, forget it, you're stuck with Gingerbread for now.

So I bought a SG2 a couple days ago (moving from Iphone 3gS). I'm kinda disappointed in battery life and my friend recommended installing a custom rom. I have CM9 on my Touchpad so I figured I'd give it a go on my phone too. As it is, I like the look/feel of the stock device (maybe I just don't know better) so I am thinking that using something more stable like CM7 would be more beneficial. Is there any major differences?
Cm9 is based of ICS and Cm7 of gingerbread.

In my opinion, CM9 is more stable than CM7 ever was on I9100/I777.
There's a variety of reasons for this, it's mainly that 6 months later, everyone involved knows MUCH more about the device than they did when ICS was first released and most of the CM maintainers either took breaks or started working CM9.
This especially holds true for I777 - When atinm took a break and codeworkx started working ICS, we didn't know a fraction of what the REAL differences between I9100 and I777 were that we do now. As a result the I9100/I777 device trees are MUCH closer together now than they were for CM7.
Just guessing, but I think CM9 will end up being better overall. Each version of Android brings unique challenges for the devs. For instance, CM7 on our device suffers from a Market bug that will cause periodic freezes. I don't think anyone is reporting that with CM9.
On my old phone, under CM6, they had a hell of a time getting the OS to read the voicemail number from the SIM card. When Gingerbread came out, it was never a problem from the beginning.
If battery life is your main concern, I recommend Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel. (Samsung-based ROMs only). He's working on one for ICS but his GB kernel has been used by thousands across what I guess to be dozens of ROMs.

Never had a single problem with it so far. CM7 would only last 30 mins on my phone before I had to uninstall it due to stuff not working or crashing.
No clue what matters to you, but here are some specific differences as of April 9:
CM9 does not have the headphone volume bug that CM7 did, BUT...
...on CM9 the correct volume does not get restored after playback is interrupted by a notification
CM9 does not support notification LEDs, BUT...
...on CM7 Notification LEDs causes a wakelock (battery drain)
CM9 does not have as many extended features as CM7 (yet)
CM9 GPS is (at least anecdotally) not as good as CM7 (for now)
CM9 overclocking/undervolting support is brand new
Edit: CM9 does not have Theming (yet)
CM9 does not support USB Mass Storage, need to use MTP (inconvenient on Linux)
CM9 will not have Phone Goggles
The biggest factors (for me):
CM9 is ICS
CM9 has developers' attention

CM7 is based on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and is currently the Stable branch of CynaogenMod
I just figured CM7 would have been more stable. Maybe I'll look into CM9 then. I plan to root my phone today. Part of the reason I wanted CM7/9 was to get rid of bloatware, but it seems a root can do it too.

You know there are other options than CM, right? If you aren't one of the ridiculous TouchWiz haters (doesn't seem that way since you mentioned you like the default look of the phone) then go download and install SHOstock2 from the development forum. It's fast, stable, and just flat-out works. Easily the best of the ICS ROMs, IMO. When CM9 gets to a stable release state I'll give it a try, but the AOSP ROMs (mainly CM9 and AOKP) just aren't quite ready for prime time IMO if you look at the issues/bugs that still exist in them. Some people enjoy flashing new builds all the time and taking part in the dev process...personally I just want something that works. That's not to say that SHOstock2 is a finished ROM yet, but it's way farther along than the others. Give it a try - as someone who only recently made the leap from stock, I couldn't imagine ever going back.

Ditto... I'm running ShoStock2 for the better part of two weeks and can't deny that I'm in love. Previously to that I ran UnNamed and ShoStock for GB and loved both. The best thing to do is give them a try to see what you like. Our opinion may be biased based so I suggest you give the ROM's a try so you know what you like.

I'm actually kinda confused on what exactly Touchwiz is. If it's only the launcher than I switched to Launcher Pro, but I can't imagine it gaining that much hate if that is all it is.

It's built into the framework. It's not just a launcher and theme.
AOKP is pretty damn stable. The only bug is the mentioned CM9 issue with notifications lowering music volume. Also GPS is slow to lock sometimes for me. Other than that it's a great ROM. I gave ShoStock a try but just prefer the look of AOKP

touchwiz is so much more than a launcher
its the entire UI, the phone dialer, the contacts, the lockscreen, the SMS app, nearly everything you see on your phone is a Touchwiz UI. it is an overlay over the real android lurking below.

TouchWiz is a launcher and is Standard for Samsung GSII. It's all about taste if you ask me. I personally enjoy using ToichWiz or Apex launher over anything else. It's really up to you to determine what you like and how you want it to function.

Hi, i'm fairly new to the galaxy tab 10.1 forum, but there are a few different ics roms (cm9 nightly, kang etc) .
Which of them you do you suggest??
I have a wifi only btw.
you'll have to try some yourself. different users experience different problems or no problems at all. I'm sure most would suggest AOKP though.
Am currently using cyanogenmod 9 and loving it. Try a few of them out and see what you think, everyone has their own preferences.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
I have used all three, and here is my opinion.
Mabalito- Kang: one of the first ICS roms for 10.1 , I am not sure it has been updated recently. Runs well, has a few issues with freeze sometimes.
ICS CM9 by pershoot: there are fairly regular nightlies, I feel this is the best ROM as of now, Temple run works- which shows that touch sensitivity is pretty good. I found this to be the smoothest of the lot. Very less stagger. I flashed 0509 day before, and am happy with it.
AOKP: There are more customization options, but the screen keeps getting stuck. Also, there are times when I try to put an app on the home screen, and all that happens is the screen rotates, twice. I really liked the option to put 5 buttons in the combined task bar though. and you can also assign specific actions for long press.
So where can I find the latest/newest cm9 and also AOKP nightlies? any link to a page wich recently updates..?
I asked this in Q/A but didn't get a response, so ill ask here:
Can you change font types, screen modes on ICS Roms?
Thxs.

They are currently less bugs then in AOKP, and you can update them simple,

Would have to agree with Jay. Using AOKP Milestone 5 since released and so far so good. Going to try Build 35 today.

Which is better/most complete? I am currently running CM10 (latest build) and before that was running CNA (couple nightlies ago). I have noticed that in CM10 that camcorder was "almost working", which is the first JB rom I've seen that on, but since CNA is built off of the latest CM10, it would lead one to think that everything working or working properly in CM10 will be working at least equally well in CNA, with the possibility of other issues resolved (since it's almost always "newer"). This make sense?
What’s the main difference’s in
CM10
CNA
Paranoid
AOKP
MIUI
Xenon
Also, I had a quick question about "webtop". I'm under the impression that the laptop docks do not function/function correctly without webtop, and that webtop is only available on stock roms. Are these two points true? Is there no way to get a properly working lapdock using CM10 or CNA?
Thanks

From my observation CM10 is the basic jb builds with the least amount of options and aokp , cna are almost the same with a few different features. Cna has showed to have the best battery life with aokp being the most stable from what I've heard they all seem stable as hell to me. Paranoid android is basically some options along with the ability to go into tablet mode, phone tablet mode, etc. Miui is just an iphonish type of os and xenon has bits and pieces from every ROM. Idk the answer to the web top question

Yeah ICS Reloaded stopped working a while back due to source changes. The option is there in both CNA and AOKP builds but not yet in cyanogenmod. If there is a mod for it, I don't know about it. But CNA and AOKP are arguably more customizable, if not more stable than CM, so id suggest to check em out.

Just tried out AOKP and aside from a "Clock has stopped responding" upon boot, it's a great ROM. Debating trying CNA but gotta do a little more checking to see if there are many differences to make it worth switching.

Personally, I prefer CNA due to all the little oddball tweaks and settings you don't find elsewhere. It still has, for many, the best battery life of the bunch aswell. However CNA is maintained by one person whereas AOKP has a team behind it so updates roll out faster and such.
Hey guys my dad just got a Fascinate for his work phone and it's currently running Android version 2.3.5.. When I checked for a software update it said that was the newest version. Really? It never got ICS at least?
Now if this were my phone I would root it immediately and flash something newer onto it but it's my dad's, and he honestly does not need that many cool features and all that. Still, if the process was simple and the features were worth it, then I would be glad to do it for him.
I've been looking through the Fascinate forums and it doesn't look like any promising Jelly Bean ROMs are out. Maybe I am mistaken?
What is the most stable ROM you can recommend me that is relatively "new" as far as Android goes, as this Fascinate is still 2.3.5. I would just like something relatively new that is still being developed/updated, and is stable as it's my dad's phone and I can't constantly be babysitting it and fixing any issues.
Thanks guys (I have a feeling CM10 or so is the ROM I am looking for, as 10.1 doesn't seem to be up, but just let me know what is your opinion.)
Unfortunately yes, after the 2.3.5 update the Fascinate was completely left out in the cold and never got any further official updates. Lucky for us though, we have some extremely talented developers that have done far better than any crap Verizon might have pushed out on us.
You are certainly mistaken about the Jelly Bean Roms, there are a few really good options. Personally I'm running AOKP Milestone 1 (4.1.2) with Devil kernel and that's been my daily driver for a while now. CM10 would probably be your best bet for a 'stable' rom, although nothing is broken on AOKP too, so it's more a personal preference. The biggest issues that I see on here are related to phone calls (speakerphone, ringtone not playing, etc) so if he's to be on the phone a lot then you should probably skip JB honestly. This isn't to say there are workarounds and fixes but as you said, you don't want to be consistently fixing it, so...
Anyway, if it's his work phone and he values stability above all else and doesn't care about bells and whistles then perhaps staying with a good Gingerbread rom would actually be the best way to go.... Superclean and TSM Resurrection come to mind.
Search for JT's cm10.1 (Android v4.2.1) for fascinatemtd over on rootzwiki. I've been running this as my daily driver for the past month or two. It hasn't been updated for a couple weeks, probably because nothing is broken (nothing that I can find...)
My wife has a fascinate that I have running the cm10 nightlies (android jb 4.1). I'm in a similar situation as you in that my family member primarily needs a reliable phone, they won't really appreciate how cool it is that they're running the latest version of android, and I'll need to help out if anything doesn't work...
I haven't updated her phone for a month or two, but when I do it's a simple matter to update it via cmupdater. Very slick.
The safest option would probably be the gingerbread-based GeeWiz 2.9. The dev is awesome and has recently updated the build just to make it neat and tidy.

Ah yeah I forgot about geewiz. Another amazingly talented dev we're lucky enough to have, and better yet extremely active on these forums still. Do you have the link to the 2.9 thread? I can only find the 3.3.3 thread (JB) for some reason.
I personally don't like the changes in 4.2 over 4.1 so I went back to 4.1.2 for the time being. It's only little things like the notifications and lock screen, but for some reason I like the layout of 4.1 better... but that's just me. I have yet to try CM10.1 though so I may just give that a go in the future to see how it is.

Here's the link to the GeeWiz 2.9 thread. I point out GeeWiz 2.9 since it's the closest to what Verizon last delivered as "stock" (Gingerbread) for the fascinate that has also received recent support/attention. Back in the day, I was partial to the final SuperClean3 Milestone 2 release (albeit for some esoteric reasons around the illumination behavior of the hardware keys that I believe have since been addressed in GeeWiz).
On the CM10 vs. CM10.1 question, I've had the (purely subjective) impression that latter is a bit faster...

I also think that 4.2 was a little snappier, although I didn't do any actual testing to verify that. I just get annoyed really easy by the little things that I don't like, like the new notifications, and I think for now I'll deal with 4.1 because it's still plenty fast for my needs (using SmartassV2 and Zen seems to help a lot). Hopefully in the future CM or AOKP will add some features to make 4.2 feel like 4.1 (kinda like how there was some older ICS options in the JB AOKP).

sorry for off-topic, but what is your cpu OCd to if OCd at all
I've been running 200MHz min / 1200MHz max and screen off 200MHz min / 800MHz max (normal OC, not LiveOC). Battery life has been pretty good with it and it seems to be less sluggish vs stock. I also undervolt quite heavily too, you can check my thread I made about it in General a while back for my settings. I'm certainly not one of those people who want to squeeze every last drop of performance from their phones because I personally value battery life above performance, but I certainly don't want a sluggish phone either so I've tried to find a good balance
Alright guys thanks a lot for the suggestions I saw several of these myself and did the reading it was just hard to decipher it all considering I was new to the Fascinate

Side note: I do find "go SMS" to be horrible app along with the dev team. I mean yes the app works and yes I use it. But only because I have too. The is always nagging me to go try another theme, to get there launcher, or its sending me fake chat messages about how I should there go chat feature. I mean I have a list of things I dislike about it. But again it does get the job done....

I'm using revol wireless. And I can get MMS to work. But it's way slower sending through the stock app then when I send through go SMS. Plus go allows me to rotate my PICs before I send them.
