You see I knew someone would reply with that thread that your not allowed to post about best ROM.
It says "Best Rom"
I don't ask that. I ask for a ROM that is suited to my requirements, stock and fixes bugs.
it's just another way of asking for "the rom"
check the roll up for a link that categorizes the rom based on what it's based on.
The rest is up to you to read up on what has been fixed or not.
Which ROM to download? All of them and then try them one by one. To round them down a little, dont download aosp roms, they do not fit your requirements
What a ton of help you guys are. He's not asking for help or to have his hand held. He's asking for opinions from ppl that have his set of needs and have tried the ROMs. That is not against the rules. If you have no worthwhile comment, why come here to be a cunny? Go to your bus stop and rag the locals. This site is about guidance and mobile community, stop with the dickishness already. You guys breed the **** here.

While it is a site with guidance, it is also a developer site. It is a site that users must read and inform themselves which rom has the features, which rom suits them better. I got the GS3 just 5 days ago and I've tried 7 different roms, just to see what suits me better.
Thread closed as this does fall under the category of "Best Rom."
OP, good luck.

why don't you try every possible wm6.1 here? then from there you yourself can choose what is the best ROM for you.
One may say it's a good ROM for him, but not for the others just my 2 cents
Maybe Thread Starter should take a look at this.

I also have this question so i started this thread to have opinion from other user's.
All are posting rom's but will it work who knows. I need opinion from each and every member about the roms.
Nobody wont's to teach me that flash video. I have seen it many times before and i have account's in more than 150 forums and i have 6 forum website. I know when to start a new thread.
I always beg my user's to post in my forum. Not discourage them.
I realy honour this one and only forum for o2 xda atom that was discontinued by MWG.
I don't know whether i can post more in this forum because i smell a BAN. If i am here i will continue my reply.
Is there no one to reply to my reply.
I have a reply to reply to your reply:
-no
I smell irony...
It's easy to ask people which one is the best, but the answer to that question is beneath the hundreds of pages of replies under the several threads in this forum.
Btw, in my opinion (and only mine, because It depends to the users) the best one is the cleanest one. which is;

it's because you are too darn lazy to even read! threads are here for reading, discussion etc. learn to use the search function. read thread that pertains to WM6 or WM 6.1, and check the feedback of users who used the ROM.
a ROM maybe perfect for me but not to other users.
it's blackmail when a girl cries over an arguement just my two cents.....

I have recently acquired Galaxy S 2 - It appears to be stuck on Android 2.3.4
PDA: I9100XWKI4
Phone: I9100XXKI1
CSC:I900XEUKH2
No update through Kies, No update via OTA. Ive not rooted it and its already unlocked
Any Suggestions on what ROM i should stick on this?
Thanks in advance
Are you happy with touchwiz? Try watching some videos on different roms. If you do like touchwiz, go look for roms in the Android Development Sections. But if you wanna try something different, look in the Original Android Development Section. I personally like Insanity II. So far the lightest rom I've ever used.
I've personally flashed a large majority of the ROMs out there and I have found that you can have the best of both worlds. Look up SHOstock ROMs and I think you will be more than happy with the results.
Rock SHOstock. Period.
As you cannot even post in the correct section stock until you get knowledge by reading and learning .

Stock. Don't even update it. 2.3.4 was the last update with overscroll bounce

Your thread is phrased as a question, has a question mark at the end and you added a question mark icon to it. You also describe it as a question above. Yet you choose not only to post in General rather than Q&A, but then have a pop at a senior and respected member (who has been thanked over 1000 times) in contravention of at least two Forum rules.
Good work for a gnarled four post veteran.
One word for you...
Hi,
I recently switched from S2 to S3. I was using a lot of roms on my S2, mostly Leomar/Checkrom and later on I swapped to cm9, because I love the look of Android 4.
Now I got hands on an S3 and to my disappointment, I have to read about a lot of problems when it comes to JB, even on stock release. The fact that Samsung didn't make use of project butter really baffled me.
So now I am looking for a rom with the following (hopefully possible) aspects (I don't care if it is aosp or stock, but I guess it has to be a stock rom):
+Fully working Bluetooth for my car audio/phone
+Smooth UI (best possible without butter on S3)
+No bloatware, but new sammy features should be working
+AOSP look/theme, if possible (master vertumus still doing his magic )
JB would be nice, but I would go with ICS too, at least until they fixed their JB rom.
OFC I recently ran over the forum pages and for me it looks like checkrom (either ICS or JB release) would be a good fit for me.
Thanks!

OP, please read up and try them out. There are numerous options I know, but each rom/kernel will perform on each phone differently and opinions will vary also. Thank you.
First, this is not a post to bash the mods, keep that BS elseware as I would like this to be actually read and taken seriously.
Second, to the mods, I understand this could have been sent as a PM but I am not willing to speak for everyone else so I am hoping this gives us an open mature forum to discuss this.
On to my point.
I just read a thread that was closed as "useless banter" because people should "read the threads" about roms before they install them. While I agree with the sentiment I can tell you I nearly always read these threads as they are sources of information that only someone who has read the whole thread, and or run a certain rom may know. This is how I narrow my search for a rom that is good for me. Once I have a feel for what is out there, then I pick a few roms, read about them, and finally try them.
When I first bought my galaxy S3 the first thing I did was to search for "best rom" threads, and from there narrowed down what I wanted. I quickly learned which roms were AoSP and which were stock etc. From there I was able to narrow it down to a couple roms, I wanted stock so I lost no functionality and stability. Over and over "cleanrom" was very clearly what I wanted, so I read about it in the original thread, and checked a couple roms, eventually I did in fact go with cleanrom.
When I bought my note 2 I did the exact same thing, even though Cleanrom was already established I found Beans was pretty similar and read about it.
Later I installed Beans and it just was not for me, so to this day I am still on cleanrom, however I have been "shopping" for a new rom for a while (Scott is no longer developing for the Note 2 after all) and to my dismay I find these threads being closed.
My point is this, there is no way I was going to read more than a couple rom threads with over 3 thousand bloody replies. I have owned the Note 2 long enough that now and then I get around to reading about some of the other roms, but I still have only scratched the serface. As I quoted before the "best rom" threads have been noted as "useless" however one of the first things I look for in a rom is one that is actually based on Verizon's firmware. I do this because not one international rom is fully functional. This is not a dig on them, it is just fact. No one has gotten MMS or signal extenders to work right. You can go through any thread and this question is asked on so many roms so many times it is ridiculous. Personally I much prefer to come to a "best rom" thread and find out what kind of roms are based on stock VZW than have to search through 10 roms looking for the answer... this does not even take into account that half the time I come to XDA lately the search box is missing (does that happen to anyone else?)
Again, I would really like this to be a flame free thread, if you agree with me, well state your reasons nicely, if you don't, please do the same. And on a side note, If the mods feel this thread is inappropriate they will let me know and or close the thread they really don't need your help telling me so
Well Said. While agreeing to show full respect for the Mods and their way of doing things, I could not agree more with you. I find "best rom" threads to be incredibly helpful and have never tried a rom that I didn't get pointed to from one.
They don't have them because it's not a ROM competition nor a site for users. It's for developers. If you've been around the Android game, you have to know how minor group MMS and network extender bugs are, almost not worth mentioning compared to even trying to run CyanogenMod on some phones (including ours!). If you want to be a user on this site, you're expected to do the research. The ROM's built on our SCH-I605VRAMC3 base make it clear they're built on it. Even if the base isn't clear, this stuff is all open-source! Dive into the github and figure it out. If that isn't something you feel you should be expected to do, don't use a development site.

While you make a couple good points, I think to box this site (XDA) in as only a "developers" web sight is stupid. There is so much more in these forums. I've been part of XDA since 2009, and I see you've been a member for a few months now. While I am sure you have contributed a truck load in your time and I have just really been on the outside looking in, I have been reading these forums far longer then you have and the majority of posts in these forums are people like me looking for help from people like you. And I will continue to say, that while I respect the decision to ban these types of posts, I think it's a mistake, when you can simply say "what kind of rom are you guys using" and all of sudden it's ok. IT's the same thing. I guess we'll just agree to disagree in the usefullness of these types of posts.

You can tell by my low post count im a search button junkie. I too enjoy some of those best rom threads.
The biggest problem I guess I had with that threads closing was the reason.
Yes this is a Dev website, but thats a General discussion section. And thats about as general a topic as you can get. I guess if its worded like "I really like ROMxxxx" and a discussion starts comparing or recommendations for other roms is okay. But blatantly asking what rom is your fav isnt acceptable?
Also.. if those thread's are killed, ill be reading about how great v1 of beans is and nothing about v21.
Love the site.. mods will run it how they see fit.. just wanted to chime in, back to lurking.

I've been doing this since the OG Droid, I didn't feel I knew enough to have input until a few months ago. I could really care less if there is best ROM threads or not, but I'm not going to complain about it because they are absolutely not needed. They only serve to reveal subjective opinions and limit new users from using ROM's that might not be as popular or are from newer developers. For example, MIUI-TW is a great great ROM but requires APN edits and more set-up to work compared to something easy like Beans, so it will never be as popular. Now for a new user to come in and never even bother to look at it because of this limits the appreciation that that developer deserves for even getting MIUI ported to our model. It also limits the learning on the side of the new user because they won't try that ROM assuming it sucks rather than it's simply not as easy to set-up as an aroma rom is. All I'm saying is that it's called XDA developers for a reason, it's a great source of information for everyone, but don't expect it to be catered to anyone outside of the development community or complain when it isn't. I'm more than happy it's public, the devs make their work public & free, and then most of the time go out of their way to help the rest of us. I don't need to ask for anything else.

Your reason is also a good reason to have such threads. A new person not very experienced probably wouldnt want to start with an advanced rom install. However reading about it in a new thread might also help that person decide to try it because someone posted how easy or worthwhile it was to go through the editing or additional steps to install.
And by posting questions of this nature here, in the general section allows us.. the users of those roms, these forums, to answer those questions for devs, and moderators.

That's what the threads are for lol. I mean you just listed exactly what they are. There's an OP with installation instructions. then a bunch of users praising or criticizing the ROM along with answering questions for the devs.
How would jumbling up all of that into one thread be better than separating it into a thread for each ROM?

check this thread out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382148
Its someone talking about how much they like the stock rom, but want features from other roms on the stock rom. in the first page theres 2 rom makers pimping their roms.. and for good reason, their good roms. And do what the OP wants.
Then I actually learned something I didnt know about Beans and Xposed from that brief thread (that is nearly identical to what goes on in "Best rom" threads.
I didnt know about the Xposed framework, and that there are modules for it, theres no link nor real info on Beans main forum post here and Beans thread is 1900 pages deep.
So I got some good info from a small thread that by the very standard that killed off Best Rom threads, I probably would have gone much longer without knowing had it too been closed.
I get the need to maintain the standard on a forum, but thats the heart of any forum.. discussion, and much like life it gets repetitive in nature but its out of those that people new and old can learn things they didn't before. Someone may not be as experienced in Google-fu like us.

Xposed is talked about all the time in beans thread. it's a long thread but it just repeats itself over and over. Search is your friend. idk how you expect a best ROM thread to be able to give you more detailed definition about a single ROM. you're assuming that because you happened to catch something basic (Xposed has been on the front page of this site for months and is one of the biggest things to happen in the rooting community this year) in a small thread rather than a big one that it would be easier for you to gather information from a best ROM thread that instead of containing info for one ROM, contains info for all of them and would be a hell of a lot longer than beans ROM thread.

We do appreciate all the wonderful users here in XDA - but! ... This site IS about development, developers, and the journey of said development. Users accepted these rules when they accepted MEMBERSHIP. XDA did not ask you to join, you asked XDA to join and we allowed you to come in.
This is not a support site, nor is this a social media site where people want to know about your feelings and all that stuff. Thus, folks asking about best roms lends toward the site being about support, if XDA allowed it, the site would be full of individual posts asking and no one would ever read or search, which are expectations of members here.
We do, however, allow some off -topic banter so users form alliances and hopefully that better serves development. Other than that, users are expected ALWAYS to follow posting rules.
Hello everyone, not really new to this forum, but just created one account. xda noob. try to search all over the xda forum and googled, doesn't seems to answer my question. So, please, help me out.
SO. The question is,
i am looking for a ROM that is pure, super pure, ultra pure, without any customization for my i9100G that is running kitkat. Something like SuperNexus, but to my knowledge the project is now closed, and I am a freak person I can't live with the bug inside the rom (browser flashing bug). so is there any ROM that provide the pureness and cleanness that I am looking for?
Thanks!
Rom recommendations are forbidden here. You're expected to make a nandroid, go over to the two development sections, read some rom threads, and try out some roms. Expect mods to close this thread presently.

opps. ahhh rom recommendation....sorry.
As said before, ROM and other recommendation threads aren't allowed on XDA.
Why? Well, all the developers work really hard to bring users top-notch ROMs, and some are different from others. There could be feature packed ROMs that compromise on performance, or minimal ROMs with lagless performance, or there could be the best of both worlds. Either way, choosing one ROM over the others, for whatever reasons, can be rather disheartening to the developers who work long and hard.
What do you do now? Only you can answer that question. Flash a few ROMs, see which suits you. Who knows? You may end up happy with a ROM that could've gone unnoticed if you had got recommendations.
Happy flashing!
