If you want to stay on stock ROM, then have a look at my kernel/stock ROM test results => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26775950
About custom ROMs, you have to read a lot and test it yourself ... there are many with many differences.
Good luck !

From experience you actually get the best battery life from the stock kernels. The manufacturers take the battery life very seriously since its compared to others when the device is released, so they surely test it rigorously to get the best results.
If you are curious, I recommend SiyahKernel, it seems to be about the same as the stock kernels in terms of battery life, and you get all the capabilities of a custom kernel. It also supports dual booting, so you can try other ROMs and decide what you like before messing up your system. We can't decide for you what ROM you like
If I may suggest: I am a heavy user and my solution was to buy a Momax extra battery and external battery charger from them too (the generic ones on ebay suck), that way I don't care how much battery my phone takes, since I always have a full one to pop in. That way you can flash any kernel you like.

I somewhat agree with the above two posters with staying with the stock ROM however if you were in the same position as I and didn't like the stock ROM ICS upgrade at all then I'd try Cyanogenmod 9. It's stable and I've actually noticed I get better battery life out of it than I did the stock ROM.
Just make sure you get the exact ROM version for your phone model as you could do some damage if you choose the incorrect one.

Hi all,
i bought this phone 3 day ago and my phone has rooted+custom recovery
i want to ask :which rom should i choose for the best performance ,stability and playing game well.
thanks all
Hi.
I prefer the devoid rom+franco kernel, because of the stability and good battery life.
If you want gingerbread use CM7 Rom. I didn't liked it very much, because it drained my battery (but i think this problem is just with my phone, don't know really if everybody have this issue.)
Openoptimus is good too, but i used it for a very short time.
Go for
Hypnos2+Francos v15 kernel+zram
BEST...!!!
Is this the same as the lg thrive?

Try devoid.franco ROM + franco kernel (v14 for battery performance) and overclock @ 480min 748max. If you're not so intersted in battery life flash v15 kernel and use interactive governor for excellent performance.
If you really want stability try using only 2.2 ROMs.

Try to calibrate your battery by deleting batterystats via CWM or just dowload the app "BatteryCalibration" from PlayStore. I'm not using this ROM, but it seems like android 4 eats up more battery than Gingerbread.

You CAN'T use these 2 kernels, cuz they're made for CM7 ROMs, so they won't work in Stock ROMs. But you can use "BatteryExtender" by LibiSC, I'ver never tested it, but it seems like it's working great and has a great improvement in battery life.

Well it's in the kernel man. Update it to latest 1.5 version and it'll be solved though 1.5 version is non-oc.

1. best performance is subjective but many people have had better luck with custom ROMs because they contain much less bloatwares compared to the stock firmware.
2. You only need to flash a custom kernel to optimize battery drain. You don't need to flash a custom ROM for that.
Although, you have to note that, all custom ROMs are bundled with custom kernels.
3. When it comes to enjoying cool themes, then custom ROM is the way.
You will even enjoy much better and probably endless theme options on AOSP ROMs.

Hi guys. I need some help from you all, if you got the time for it.
Last year I decided that I want to have my SGS2 to stock and no root. Back then I was still learning.
After I changed a few roms I kept the stock one and had a casual root on my phone. After the changes I made I ended up with a ROM in which I cant swipe from the last page to the first one I have to swipe back thru all the others. This isn't such a big problem for me but it still mathers and my battery life seems so be quite unstable. I even noticed that when playing a game my phones CPU starts to get really hot(a problem that before didnt occur). Even the games from Rovio dont work on this ROM.
So my request to you guys is if would be kind and link me up with the ROM i need and kernel. Here how my phone was before I set it to stock:
Phone status and information:
Model number: GT-i9100; Android 4.0.3; Baseband version i9100XXLPW; Kernel version 3.0.15 [email protected] #k3-20; Build number IML74K.XXLPW
If you could bring it back to "normal" that'd be great. Main point is the ROM to be nearly the same as the stock one but with that swipe from last to first page. And the rom to ne a [email protected]
Thanks in advance, for giving up your free time for my need!
Just install another launcher...

If you find such ROM link it to me so I may flash it with odin on my phone and then I will choose one of hardcores' speed mods. And that should make my phone look and be like before.

I'm on Neatrom too, and I also can recommend it as it is a great rom. Personally I'm on ICS (XWLPY), and you can install Aroma mods with the battery percentage. In combination with Speedmod it's great, but you can also try JB.

Hi. I'm a bit new to this, and was wondering if a way to improve my ace performance, would a custom stock android based ROM improve the phone? As at the moment it is laggy and has loads of bloatware taking up the internal memory.
So will doing this make the phone less laggy and improve performance?
Cheers!
Yes it will increase the performance but depends on the ROM you're using.
After flashing a custom rom, you can apply additional tweaks to it. Which hence increase performance, smoothness, network speed etc ; depending on the tweaks.
Also with more performance, there is a price to pay! You will be facing alot of battery drianage. But that depends again on the tweaks you applied.
Most Custom Rom have inbuilt tweaks with them. That makes them special and are good.
To be honest, i think stock rom is the best except for the look though.
