Where can I get more info on the ICS Roms?
I can't tell the difference between any of them since all the threads are basically named the same.
I'm looking for a plain as possible, newest build ICS.

Well, really you only have a few options.
First of all, you have the KANGs. These are ROMs compiled from CM9's source code. These are basically the same as CM9 nightlies, but they appeared much sooner. The only other option besides KANGs and nightlies is AOKP, which is ICS with some extra modifications. Nightlies and KANGs also have the devices name in the thread (wifi only or 3g).
Since you said you just want a plain and newest possible build, you should choose either the nightlies or the KANGs, whichever is newest. And of course, you should flash the one for your device .

Hi guys...
I've just got my Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500 3G...
So I'm newbie to Samsung or Tablets but I have Motorola Defy and I'm quite into changing ROMs and stuff...
Can anyone here suggest me some good, stable, great battery life, awesome speed, no bugs ROM?
Are those ICS versions with working camera? As I've seen some does have camera bug.
Is it worht trying to install ICS or should I find some good solid Honeycomb instead? (recommend any?)
Tnx...
If you want a fast stable ROM I would suggest Task 14.
I've been running CM9 ICS from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425631 for the past couple days though and I'm loving it. Camera won't work in any ICS ROM. I don't use the camera though so that doesn't bother me. This ICS ROM is the best ROM I've ever used for connecting to our Cisco VPN concentrator at work.
I've had a couple app freezes and 1 random reboot but other than that I haven't seen any issues.
Hi there people.
Im fairly happy with my S3.
Except id like to get updates earlyer.
Is it possible to remove the original software and install some kind of Vanilla rom on it to get faster updates?
Yes, CM10, SuperNexus, AOKP, Slim Bean, etc. etc.

Galaxy S3 and Nexus are 2 different phones with different hardware..the OS released by Google is designed for the nexus phone..you will not be able to install it directly on your device neither will you get an update from Google...
However, as the source code is openly available, many devs here use the source code, make some changes and prepare an OS which can be installed on our device..so if you use any AOSP rom you will get the vanilla experience but don't wait for an OTA by google, it has to be prepared by the devs...
slim is based on 4.1.2 now
The real answer is NO. You will not receive updates as fast as a Nexus.

Granted....it took slim 48 hours to catch up, quick enough for me though
anyone mentioning you can "kind of have it" with AOSP/AOKP/CM roms but wont have 100% hardware working
search for CM10 known issues
Well it appears that there are only nightly builds for the i9100, but I can't see any known problems.
This is my mum's phone, and she has been telling me it's really slow so I thought going from 4.0 stock to CM10.1 4.2 would really help that, with project butter and stuff.
She uses wi-fi tethering alot, and I've seen on alot of custom roms that that doesn't work, but as I said, I didn't see any known problems for the CM10.1 nightly build. I don't want to flash her phone with something that'll make her lose functionality.
Thanks guys

Install the samsung JB leak..I would not recommend CM since it is still under development. But there are no big issues i myself use it. But since its your mom's phone its better to keep it stock.
Also there isn't Project Butter in CM.
But did you flash with a full wipe? Quite strange your mom does notice it's very slow, because there are a lot of people (understatement) who are really satisfied with the performances of CM10.1.

I've read it wrong. But with 4.0.4 I've never noticed anything slow or what so ever

Not your phone, not running stock & an 'average' user using it day to day sounds like asking for problems to me. And potentially a lot of you playing 'tech support'.
If it were me, I'd be leaving it stock.
Do a factory reset & a clean install of apps/etc if it's a bit sluggish (remember, you don't have first hand knowledge of this, just what she's told you & also remember she is an 'average' user, so it may be running just fine most of the time).
Why not Chameleon Rom?
I suggest to use this rom because it has the CM layout but its samsung base so no bugs

There are so many varied and out of date opinions on this and then so many people that are just guessing, so I have to ask.
Are either 4.1.2 or 4.2.1 completely stable? I'm getting that NONE of the 4.2s are stable at all and that they're experimental at best. Is this true? If so, is 4.1.2 the only stable ROM right now? I don't get a kick out of the phone FCing on me when I try to edit a photo or something.
Thanks for any clarification.

Samsung - stable
AOSP - not 100% because lack of sources, but OK for a daily driver.
Sent from my washing machine using xda premium
AOSP ROMs will never be as stable as Sammy-based ones
Ok, I think my question got a bit misconstrued. I get that a Samsung ROM is always more stable since it's the base of this phone's OS.
But therefore...
- 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 BOTH stable on Samsung.
- neither stable on AOSP because of lack of sources
Is that correct, then?
And by stable, I mean that I just want a camera that works with all features, can save to the SD card, no weird crashes from using basic phone menus and functions (volume, notifications menu, etc)

no, samsung 4.2 is not stable, like I said.
by your definition of stable, AOSP 4.2 is stable
Ok, I see. In which ways do AOSP 4.2 ROMs fall short then? I know they obviously don't have Samsung apps like S-beam, smart TV functionality, NFC, etc. But is there something that's always 'broken' on AOSP ROMs?

Some don't like MMS. Some dont like camera.
I use camera fine though, Not bothered about SMS
Ok cool, like I said I just don't want something stupid like you can't play a game and then send an email because the whole phone crashes. :silly: Or a ROM with TERRIBLE battery drain.

Well, then that's not my idea of stable. I guess I'll stick to Samsung ROMs.
Jelly Bean stable?
I recently bought a galaxy s3 and had flashed the 4.2.2 jellybean update. it worked great, no crashes and ran smooth. On monday it notified me that there were two stable updates. I updated both one at a time with TWRP and flashed. It seemed ok all night. In the morning when i plugged in my USB flash drive with my OTG cable the screen just went black. Now it doesnt do anything. It wont even go in to download mode. So i guess i the 4.2.2 was ok but the updates werent.

That's because you don't know what stable means.
Stable means... Does not reboot constantly. Does not freeze constantly. It runs stable.
You are talking about broken features. Camera is easily fixable. MMS, well if you want MMS, go back to Smasung ROMs.

Ok, well that's true, that's why I'm asking these questions.
So do 4.2.1, 4.2.2 AOSP have the same level of stability?
Is 4.1.2 considered something that's MUCH more stable at this point?

Its hard for me to Quantify.
I only used Smasung 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1 Then AOSP 4.2.2
I dont use MMS so the fact it doesn't work properly is no big deal for me. It force closes when I try to attach a picture. I am not sure about receiving MMS (As I say I dont use it).
For me, AOSP - everything works great. More stable to me than Samsung ROMs (less bugs) except MMS which i do not use. Actually I find AOSP faster too.
I do not use the stock AOSP camera. I never had problems with it but some users did. But i replace mine with the camera that has more functions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611
What I would say is, If you think you can live without MMS, give it a try. Dont mess with overclock / undervolt and see for yourself how fast and stable it is.
If you really need MMS, Maybe it is not worth the test. I am not sure how apps like Go SMS handle it.
In conclusion, I find AOSP faster and more stable than sammy. But I dont use MMS.
I hope this helps somewhat
Yeah, it does help. I can find another solution for MMS (GoSMS Pro, etc) but I don't want basic things being broken. Like I just found out there's no mute on this ROM for audio. Somebody mentioned something about not being able to silence their ringer. That's something I can't be flexible about. I guess I'll look for an AOSP other than temasek.
I like paranoid android myself. Definitely silences

Any thoughts from anyone on MIUI?
HEY GUYS!!
So im super new to XDA forums, but i came here to get some help. So ive never flashed a custom ROM before but ive read on it extensively and have an idea of the terms and what-not. i recently flashed my s2 i9100 to the latest cyanogenmod rom using their app and desktop aid. i really loved the new look and feel on my s2 and i was positive Sammy wouldn't be rolling out any future updates on this hardware.
After the honeymoon period was over i came to notice the grating little issues that made me switch back to official jellybean TW. The cyanogenmod firmware they flash with the app is 10.2, so its jelly bean 4.3. It was a "stable" firmware, so they say. Heres a list of the problems.
1. YouTube became very very pixelated and i did some searches and couldnt find a fix.
2. Games like Temple Run 2 performed much worse than with the stock OS, lots of frame skipping could be seen, which makes a game like TR2 unplayable.
3. There were alot of crashes on the stock cyanogenmod launcher, especially after installing apps.
I really appreciate the work cyanogen does but i posted these issues on their forums and i feel like im an isolated incident being that noone has posted on it.
SO IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS ME OR WITH ADVICE, PLEASE HELP ME OUT, IT WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.
CM for i9100 are only nightlies.
Nightly means that the firmware is every (not anymore) day/night getting updated, why? Because of bugs. Nightlys are oftne minor bug improvments compared to the one before.
There are no stable CM roms, except CM 9 so i've heard, just Nightlies.
Hope this clears it up.
PS. Maybe you can try other roms that have CM base..
I am using cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies right now in my I9100G, and i don't have any problems, wouldn't go back to stock. Games work much better for me because this ROM is lightweight and uses ram better, i never used the desktop aid so i can't comment on that but maybe you should flash from recovery, there might be bugs with that aid, and which cyanogenmod are you using? If you are trying to use kitkat, there will be lots of bugs its only natural because it's been 2 weeks since kitkat went out, try 4.3.

Oh thanks for the repl. I didnt know that the firmwares were nightlies when using the official app. i thought the app description was that it flashes the latest stable cyanogen build. Just a question, being that ive flashed it twice to try and mitigate the issues to no avail, (ive wiped dalvik and cache and formatted) whats my next step? i really liked it but those issues are pretty disappointing/

I would try it the "old" way but im a little afraid. do you think that the fact that you are using the G variant would make a difference?
the only way to make youtube better was to loas previous version. and the games didnt necessarily have a constant lag, it seems more like a frame sync or clipping issue than a frame chugging/ lagging issue. The cyanogen build i was using was 10.2. so it was 4.3.1. thanks for your reply.

If it doesn't work, don't use cm and try other roms, as i said there might be a unique problem with your device.
I'm not going to make any recommendations because that's against XDA rules, but it stands to reason that the 10.2 builds won't be as 'polished' as the 10.1 builds purely because they haven't been under development for as long. If you don't like the bugs in 10.2, try something 'older'..........

im wondering if i should just wait for an official kitkat build.
but either way ill try your suggestions. looking forward to positive results.
just a heads up though i found another poster on a cyanogen forum that describes the same youtube problem. so maybe its not just me after all
There will be issues with the 10.2 builds for some time to come.....no disrespect to the developers, they've done /are doing a fantastic job to help keep the S2 alive. All custom ROMs go through this process and as they progress, the bugs become less and less.........
And as far as official KitKat.......not going to happen.....Samsung ended official support for the S2 with Jellybean....

Well overall the ROM is fantastic. I love the look and feel and added functionality. What I meant about waiting for official kitkat is an offcial rom from cyanogen based on kitkat. Im sure that support for s2 will continue so long as the hardware is capable.
