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 .

Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks guys.
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,
I have just bought a SGS3, and want to give my old S2 to my wife.
She loves CM on her S1, and wants it on the S2 (I actually stayed with stock..lol)
I am best putting CM7 onto the phone, or are their any stable CM9's out at present?
I just want the least hassle / complaints from her, however would like to keep it on ICS.
Thanks.
Latest CM9 nightly (I've never had any dramas with any CM9 nightly), but if you want something that will give you minimal issues guaranteed (and minimal you playing tech support), might want to stick to stock ICS. Some people have little issues with different custom roms (normally attributable to setup/use), tho many people don't.
I'd play safe given it's not your phone & you don't want to create work for yourself ;-)
Thanks for the reply, will try out the latest nightly...if it give her issues will revert back to stock. Thanks.
No probs ;-) Sounds like a good WTG.

I have tried all JB roms for the AT&T Samsung Note 1. Now I am currently running Collective. I have over the past 5 months read through all their Forums and troubleshooting and have followed all instructions to the T. I wont be bashed or called a noob because all phones are not alike and some users don't have certain issues from what I read. BUT others have most definitely had my issues lol. I get random reboots, also seems like phone does not update properly like updates for apps through play store. I reboot my phone and all of a sudden i get new emails and there's 5 updates where my phone while on told me nothing about them. The reboots are the bigger issue. Is there no Stable JB rom out there? I keep being told go back to ICS, which I am believing that after JB being out for so long nobody is able to make the roms stable. Never seen such a long period of no stable rom coming out for a phone. Appreciate any advice ty
Hmm, there is two that I know of now. Cyanogen mod 10, and paranoid android which has cm10 as a base

My first experience with CM10 was that it was not stable, especially coming from CM9 which was rock solid but the last week or so of builds have performed very well for me. Within the last week my phone has rebooted 2x's on me. Both were just as I hung up a call the screen froze then the phone rebooted. Otherwise, I have not had any issues. My previous ROM was JellyBeer which as not quite as stable but still pretty good. I did clean wipes, loaded CM10 (latest) then JB GAPPS 20121011. After rebooting the phone I run "fix permissions" from CWM. I go to the play store and download my apps from there and not from a back up. Hope this helps, good luck.

You must be ON CRACK? The PAC MAN rom is the most stable rom i have ever ran.... and i've tried them all. NO random reboots and no issues. give it a shot man
Isn't the cm10 Jellybean kernel for the note just a modified ICS Kernel with bits and pieces from other kernels put in one package in order to run Jellybean. There's the stability issue. There's no source for the GN Jb kernel yet so they'll be issues. In my experience reboots and lost data connection. That's why I went back to ICS. Everything works. But I would like to check out Paranoid Android 3.0 ,4.2 aospa builds coming out soon. Don't know if there using a cm kernel or in-house built.
Novena injected I717 Samsung Galaxy Note
Nov 8 PA and linero (pacman) kernel and only get a reboot one every 5-7 days . Were on all others was like 3-4 a day . Also I have found (I could be crazy) but when a reboot yellow screen of death occurs power off the phone then restart seems to stop the reboots for much longer ,not that I need to do it anymore.

DING DING DING!!!
No source, mo' problems!
We need source to drop for JB, especially the kernel source...
Until then, we can get "good" builds, but not "Great" builds...
Source is the key, and according to Samsung, the note will get the official upgrade in december...I dont know more than that.....g
so was there ever a great 4.04 aosp or aokp rom for the i717??
by great i mean everything working.. hdmi, usb otg, etc...
on the s2 it seemed that as soon as the source dropped everyone went to jellybean..
so there never was a near flawless build.. and there never were sources for the hdmi and some other drivers..
i dont see it being different on any samsung product..
See this is why I made this thread. Simply put I spend countless hours searching threads and topics and I jsut got 90% of my answers there. I have used cm Roms in the past and I liked them. I am not a expert at rooting but one gets there over time. I really do not think any question is a stupid one but where it posted can be wrong place to post. I do very much appreciate everything everyone has posted. If you have any other imput or great ideas please post. Again ty very much:good:
THE most important thing to remember is that no 2 phones will act the same on every ROM, so, anytime someone says a certain rom is great, or another one sucks, you can only take that with a grain of sand....the ONLY way to know how any rom will run for you is to install it on YOUR phone.
As others have said, until there is source from Samsung, NO JB rom will run perfectly 100% of the time for everyone, so, if you don't want to deal with the possibility of reboots or other weird issues, you are probably best sticking with an ICS rom...
Actually, I have found the JB's to be more stable than the ICS Roms. I have found AOKP Milestone 1 the most stable. No reboots and offers tabletUI if you want it.
Right now, I am running Dman's PACman and find it to be very smooth and stable.

I have been using AOKP Milestone 1 and haven't had many issues. There are a few bugs but nothing show stopping. I run mine at 240DPI and it looks beautiful and have only had 1 reboot. I would give it a try.
On crack lol appropriate but ok. I tried pacman at one point I loved all roms but no phones are equal ever jb rom at some point gave me reboots. Sporting padawan at the moment loving it

Quite new to the whole rom thing, pretty much always had my phone rooted for various reasons, but only recently started trying out roms, not a big fan of touchwiz, so i decided to try out the CM 10.2 nightlies, so far its been working just fine, then again i have only tried one and except for a few minor errors once in a while, its been working alright.
My questiion is tho, do i need to do a full wipe each time i install a new nightly release? my guess would be no, but i just wanna make 100% sure that im doing the right thing.
Second question, would anyone recommend something different? i tried out liquidsmooth before CM, overall loved it, but seems like its not supported anymore.
Thanks in advance!
1-no need to wipe
2-check in the dev area for Roms based on CM
If you're asking for different roms i definitely do not suggest aoso for the simple reason they drain much more battery and miss a lot of samsung based one features.
I hate touchwiz like you, but there are many alternatives: go launcher ex, next launcher 3d, nova or apex launcher and more. Personally i use honami launcher (xperia?) I found in a rom that got it off xda. So it should be easy to find, it's REALLY quick and responsive (and i do have MANY apps).
About roms for galaxy s3 i would divide them in 2 jelly bean (would you actually get ics?) Categories: 4.1.1<x<4.2.2 and all 4.2.2+ ones.
You can get any 4.2.2 just fine but for these there are different roms.
Omega is well known, i have also heard of wanamlite. There is chaos legacy for 4.2.2.
But the one i use is foxhound (you can find both flavours, but latest 2.7 version of 4.1.2 is pretty astonishingly unstable, which is unusual for the great goxhound. The 0.1 version of 4.2.2 is what i chose and it's perfectly stable) and believe them to be quick and drain much less battery than most.
On 4.2.2 you may NOT change kernel, i remind you, as none are supported.
For theming rember to use xposed framework and its many modules...

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.

Might be a unique problem for you. You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532929
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'..........

Thanks for your replies guys,
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.
