This is a big one... I guess
Personally I can't decide if I sould go with AOSP or sammy based roms. I find pros and cons with both. I really like the features of the roms with full TW, but I hate the look and feel. I love the look and feel on the vanilla roms, but I find some major bugs (running CM10 latest nightly) :S particularly with the camera (force close when i use flash is the biggest, as I dont care for effects)...
So I wonder...
What do you guys rocking on a daily driver, and why?
Just delete the thread, sorry that I asked this Q, just really wondered
Not only did you post a question in General when there's a questions & answers forum, you also asked what rom to use when that question is too personal, and more or less forbidden here.

I browsed through the development section and there is SO MUCH STUFF THERE. :/
Even if I read it all I would still not really get a good answer to my question:
What are the most popular, consistently maintained and stable ROM's out there that aren't heavily themed (I like AOSP or close, not MIUI)?
I've used CyanogenMod on my Nexus but it's still in experimental phase for SG2 and I don't really want to start off my new uberphone with broken stuff.
So far from what I've gathered is that Villainrom is at least consistently maintained, but their website is almost devoid of any information in regards to looks and features.
Batista70(?) also sounds like a relatively popular choice?
I realize this sounds like a completely idiotic question from someone that's too lazy to read, but honestly to answer this question you can't just read for a few hours, you need to have been around the community for a longer time to get the feel of everything.

You are correct if you want an honest opinion look yourself try them their are a billion users asking the same question with the same answer their is no best rom .
Why not start with the simplest rom that you understand what's on it and how to flash it .
Then work your way through others .
jje
Atm, i think the best roms (no one over the other, they all good the same)
Batista70 Foxhoud 2.0
Villainrom 3.0
Leomar 2.7
those are the roms i personally tested, and looks like also the most "used" by the community.
Im sorry if i didnt listed someone else rom, it's only because i didnt tested personally.
All the 3 are KI3 (2.3.5) based, so they may have few bugs/instability since 2.3.5 is less than 1 week old.
For the KH3 (2.3.4) every rom is very stable and works fine, i personally tested:
Cognition 1.5.1
Lite'ning 6.1
Checkrom v3
If you want a not perfect (few bugs) but totally different rom, i suggest you to try gangsterjoop Miui 1.9.23 or Galnet Miui 1.9.23

That was actually more a roll of the eyes to this type of question. It gets answers like yours (no offence meant) where people just tell you what they use. Not many people have done extensive testing of every single available ROM, but people still keep asking these lame questions.
Also 'best' is very personal, unless one gives certain criteria.
I agree I'm new here and the selection is daunting. I've HAD,
HTC Tattoo
HTC Desire
ZTE Blade
Moto Defy
HTC HD2
Sony X10
This phones section seems even bigger than the HD2 forum!
Ephumuris
the best rom out there with regarding battery life and looks is..................
the one that will suit your needs and that YOU have to find out and experiment buddy.
its all good for us to tell you which one is good but unless you dont try for yourself you wont know..
but if you want a choice i recommend VillainRom or Batista two that i use back and forth or even CheckRom
but whatever you do make sure you read through each roms thread and take it from there...happy flashing
I just updated SGA to 2.3.4 (can't see many changes )
Anyways, which is the stable ROM for SGA? (I just Downloaded the unofficial CM7.1 port)....
theres no such thing as "the best rom".
try any rom and if u dont like it, just reflash another one. and if u like it, stick with it.
Expected a better reply
Okay,Which is a good ROM for now?
see, thats the problem. everyone had their own idea which is the "best" rom for them. i might say its this rom. someone else would say another. u'll never get a concrete answer.
Advice is always welcome bro
If someone considers a ROM good, there must be a reason for it.
Btw, which ROM you use??
i'm still using my chinese zckpa rom. from all stock rom, zckpa is the most feature rich close to cm7. but since cm7 is still beta and buggy, zckpa is a good choice for me since i can had feature close to cm while still had stability same as stock. best from both world, feature rich+stability.
Just have to say, by pointing you to the "best rom" of my opinion might as well be depriving other rom developers of motivation to continue their rom. It's not fair to point new users to one rom.
"Expected a better reply?" In here we're to learn and share not to take and expect and demand. Cheers!

Yeah, I'm well aware of amount of time and hard work done in building those ROMs...
Apoligies if anyone is offended
Another question, should I install the CM7.1??
is it stable enough?
read my previous post, and on the thread title of cm7 said "beta". u should get the idea if its stable or not
To me it's stable enough since I use the phone a lot.
Small bugs here and there depends on whether you prefer it or not. Just flash! When you've become part of the flashaholics you will see that the best way to tell if the rom is good for you is to FLASH IT.
Try his zskpa rom too it has excellent features.
I actually like to test all the stuff but it's not my phone & I have to just flash and give it to my friend...
Hence I just wanted to confirm things
(He mainly give emphasis to looks of the phone )
ROM'S for first timers
U can try Ginger Real (its among one of the most stable ROM) otherwise if u want more functionality then go for Cyanogen Mod's either KANG or CYANO ACE ..they are awesome in speed and functionality ...offer a lots of tweaks and best performance as well as looks.
But for a beginner i would suggest Ginger Real ....it's kinda peace max sticks to stock types ..
well thz are just mine saying .....no offense to nybody
Best rom is the one who has not yet been released. Finding the perfect yet nobody did.
Sorry for my english
Hey guys need your expert help, actually my girlfriend uses the ACE and i wanted to install a custom rom for her which is smooth n does not lag preferably looking for a daily driver. Need to know which is best rom which can fill the requirements.
Thanks
there are many same threads of this
herpderp ©copy+paste
None is the best. Saying so is like insulting dev working hard on other roms. Its just the matter of preference.
If u looking for stability and daily driver, go for any custom rom based on stock.
And if u do a little search, most thread asking for "best ROM" were closed by mods.
Sent from your phone
Well, if you want to go with a CM7.2 I highly recommend Jusada's Ice Cream Sundae FINAL. It runs smoothly and really fast.
But if you want a modified stock rom, you have Stock Lite v5 which is pretty damn good and you have quick reply from the dev if you encounter any problem.
I installed The Myth's Team's Imaginary ICS today, and I have to tell that it blown me away. Pretty fast and stable. And can't complain about the battery so far either.
Hope I helped
dude did u read sticky threads
if u didnt READ!
there are to much threads with best rom question
and i thought its gonna stop after that sticky thread
but noobs dont read
and there is no best rom cause of several reasons:
1.different base rom (cm7,cm9(beta),stock,lewa rom,miui rom)
2.its disrespectful to the developers
3.u need to make your own choice
You are not going to get an answer here so just PM me
guys i know how the search options works & checked out a ton of roms but the reason i created this thread was to know which of these roms do u guys think would serve my purpose.
i had no intention of being disrespectful to the developers n judging them in terms of work, we all know how hard they work so that we can get the best out there.
i've currently downloaded CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5830-GalaxyICS-KANG-nigthly i love the smoothness will check it out for a couple of hours & see how things go, the only problem i saw was the camera wont launch.
Next i'll be trying Jusada's Ice Cream Sundae FINAL
judging your responses you should look for a stock based ROM. Those have good battery life and are great for daily use. CM 7.x and 9 are just for performance, doesn't seem to be you need that. stocklite or omegarom works fine.

Thanks guys downloading StockLite v5.0 now... appreciate it
AOSP Beta1 without a dout.

just a matter of time mods will close this thread. u should try n error instead of asking this sensitive question. u dont even have to pay to use their roms...
OK, this might be a dumb question for some, but i am confused. Which of the two ROMs is the better one? Is Euphoria the next generation Passion? I do not care about GPS but rather stable and bug free ICS ROM. Don't care for customization either...
I am currently on ICS Passion 11b5 and have some issues like, my ringtones stop working every now and then and I need to re-select them in my sounds. Phone is laggy and becomes unresponsive pretty often..
If customization isn't your thing then I'd stick with ICS Passion if I were you. However you should probably update. ICS Passion v13.1 has been out for a while and I hear that that rom coupled with the newest Kiss kernel (Sealed_with_a_kiss #4) make a good pair. You should try that before testing out Euphoria.
Try the AOKP rom, it is similiar to Passion with fewer bugs and less laggy.
If you like MIUI, there are 2 or 3 MIUI V4 roms being worked on. They run solid, just dont allow for much customization at this point.

AOKP = Android Open Kang Project - Milestone 4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512518
Ice Cream Zenwich is also AOKP based and very good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499455
(Euphoria is AOKP based too. that's where all the customization comes from. Passion was based on CM9)
So the AOKP should be better than both Zenwich and Euphoria then? How come the AOPK Rom's thread is not very big (that's how I judge if a rom is popular)?

Ok, let me make this simple for you to understand.
Zenwich and Euphoria ARE aokp, not AOKP is better. So to make it clear, AOKP Roms are Zenwich, Euphoria, and Milestone 4. And if you judge a rom's popularity based on the number of posts then you're surely mistaken. The reason some roms have more posts than others are because the development of the rom has been out longer. That doesn't mean the rom is better (or more popular). In fact, the best way to judge a rom is by testing it yourself and finding the right one; kinda like buying a pair of shoes, or a car, or a woman.
The ONLY way you're gonna find the BEST rom for you is to take them for a test drive, give them a fair chance and use each one for a few days and see for yourself.
OK, good to know. Yes, I think you are right about the test drive .. and the women .. I guess I should install them and see. The thing is it generally takes some time to setup and configure everything back the way i need. But I will start with Zen probably because it has inverted apps built-in and see how it goes . Thanks!

Well put DJ, and I agree totally!! These people questioning us for opinions on ROMs to choose, need to test them out and experience the ROM for what it is to see if it suits them.
I personally was a diehard Honey Fan of EB's Roms, until the ICS ROM's came out which addressed some issues I was having using SHoney, And Ive been moving forward with a ROM that has everything I WANT, not what other peeps need or desire!!
Again Its a personal choice, and should be made outta what you need and want from a ROM, not popularity!!
JMO!!
Here's my problem: All the ROM threads are about the latest and the greatest, and that's not what I want.
I want a very reliable ROM that will get the job done with no fuss.
Is Cyanogen stable for the 9100 my best option? Or am I missing something?
Again, I don't care about it being the "latest" or "best" or any specific features. I want rock-solid, absolute stability. Advice?
You should try S3Mods with theme packs ...it one of the stable roms
Sent from my GT-I9100
Try the Omega Rom. Good performance, not the best battery but very stable.
Not overclockable but has the official JB 4.1.2.

Seconded, Omega rom is one of the best JB roms.
Surely for stability he shouldn't use a jelly bean leak and just go for a Samsung ics rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686. Try one from here the dev is amazing.

Whether you want the "best" or "most stable" this is a completely subjective and opinionated topic and its for this reason its not allowed as it just leads to a ****-load of duplicate topics like this one is.
If you want to know the most "stable" then go and read one of the other stable topics or try roms for yourself.
Fair enough, I accept your point. Feel free to delete this thread if you're a mod. (I'd delete it myself, but I'm not sure how.)

Remember guys, ROMs/kernels etc are all subjective so there really is no "best ROM" only ROMs that work best for you
