In a word (or two) for the moment, hands down, Pandorian http://goo.gl/evd8B . Liquid smooth should be fun though In the future As both end user and dirty kanger, must say I'm looking forward to flashing an ljb otapackage! After owning an GT-I9300, I Feel aosp shall be even grander with am additional GB of ram + lte. I don't care what anyone says. Also, I feel i completely understand why support for this device is the way it is. Look forward to the future!!

I am personally not a huge fan of any of the roms I have tried so far.
I have just pieced together my own rom and use that... I really wish there was an AOSP based rom (e.g AOKP, PA, CM) because I must prefer stock android.

That said my battery life is outstanding running latest leak from sammobile xxalf4 (or whatever) which is Pandoriam. Working on device tree. Patience appreciated. Support the guys cooking these roms ! They are just sharing their own personal work
Also. Perseus kernel = outstanding. I see what he's doing right there and Im a fan! Only if you value performance, battery life , stability.
Don't like what's out there / coming , most of the code can be found via Google/ github

[Q] New owner, what is the best ROM available?

Which ROM out there has the best support and the least flaws? I know none will be perfect but I would like a ROM that is fast,stable, and has optimal battery life. I know i could use the V6 Supercharger to make a ROM faster but I would like to know what ROM you guys recommend? Thanks
For the 10 billionth time: It's really up to you to figure this out. Considering that there's only 4 custom ROMs available (for the 7510), I think you are capable of doing the research yourself.

Sorry for hijacking ur thread

I'm going to second the in paris v5, I just rooted and flashed and couldn't be happier. There is one clich that I found and that is on some web pages in browser it will not let you go back with the back arrows, small problem but so far the only one I see.
Task650 makes the best ROM.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
check out the dev. forums, do a little research. If your asking you shouldn't be flashing roms really. All v6 supercharger does in most cases is mess things up
So avoid flashing supercharger? It doesn't take a computer genius to flash a ROM, I just don't have the time to flash every ROM and mess with it, thanks for the positive responses though.

I have yet to see any real proof that the supercharger script actually makes this thing better. I have flashed and run all of the different ROMs, and its really up to you as far as look and feel are concerned.
As far as support goes, I will say that Task and Phantom has been great in keeping us bug free, but I have not interacted with the other devs as much, and so I won't knock their Roms because I can't say what their level of support is.
Happy Flashing
Overcome is good too
I will say that I like both in Paris and Overcome. In Paris has a custom theme which I'm not fond of but you can install the touchwiz theme over it if you prefer. I like Overcome because it is the stock honeycomb theme.
It's really a rather personal choice so you do have to try more than one to decide.

ROM recommendation

Hey galaxy s2 community! Just a quick question for you guys and gals. I'm ready to flash a ROM on my phone and I think I've narrowed it down to ether aokp or shostock2. I'd like to stick to ics now that the i777 has official ics (more stable and better features) so I think I may wait like a month. I'm looking for something fast (I like showing off my quadrant scores to my HTC fan boy friends) and stable, a good battery life would be great=). Can you help me choose between aokp and shostock2? And don't turn this into a war guys=) we all know they're both amazing ROMs, I just want to know which has better battery life and stability, speed is a nice bonus=) thanks!
I come from a captivate with darkyrom if that tells anyone what kind of ROM I like=)

+1 this is a vs thread which is no bueno.
We cant choose for u. Just flash them both and see what u like. Each rom suits each persons needs differently.
Sent from my SGH-i777 using XDA
In! (Again)
(⊙_⊙)
You could dual boot them using the siyah kernel. If you choose to do that download the version WITH mic swap, and try them both without flashing back and forth.
try both and see which works best for you.
As noted... no ROM fits everyone.. try a few, and see which works best for YOU.

Perfect ROM?

Hi, I was wondering my P500 is getting quite old now, and all this flashing of ROMs has been great but I want to come down to one final decision on the ROM I will use for the rest of my phone's future without changing. I'm looking for a ROM which is fast and snappy, has a conservative battery life, doesn't crash and keep rebooting, looks great and is ICS or JB. That's pretty much all, thank you.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
Roms by neko
You can go for gingerbread roms made by neko.
Gingersnap v2.3 or GTR
both are fast and provide better battery life.
I will recommend you Gingersnap v2.3
:angel:
Press thanks if I help you:angel:
It's hard to say, and you are not allowed to ask, but I can tell you my choice:
CM 9.2.2 with my signature's settings ;D
If you don't mind having bad photos of course.
Stop asking such questions ..try your self
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Maybe Oxygen GB
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'll tell you my personal choice.
ICY Snap final.. Stable and almost no bugs.. And smooth. I find myself going back to that ROM again and again after trying other ROMs.
JB 4.1.2 works great, so go get it and have fun with it.
Easily findable from Cyanogen, built 20130108 coming w arjen 2.6.35.10
Further get slim gapps version, et voilà, be happy. :thumbup:

Thanks for the reply! I've been going through it. I am new to rooting and would want a nice ROM to go hand in hand with my Note. There are so many different ROMS making it very confusing! Is there a consensus on what the 'best' ROM is? Or could you explain to me the benefits of the one you are using and where I can get it? Thanks alot again.
You can get carbon under the Original Development Thread. It has had the least amount of reboots for me but there are many fine 4.2.2 ROMs offered here.
Asking for the "best" can start a flaming thread, since its very much a personal choice.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Ure most likely to get reboots in all 4.2.2 roms n most likely camera issues...until they release an official stable 4.2.2 rom then that'll be the rom u are looking for..to get less reboots I turn profiles off in settings n disable hw hardware layout...try that with any rom see what happens...

Best advice........read read read
As suggested by others look at development. It depends what YOU want or are looking for. Many 4.2 have issues. Mainly reboots. Some flicker in screen.
What i do is find rom that looks interesting in features to me. Then i go to end of thread and read backwards. Lets me know the more recent issues and if there are fixes or tweaks to compensate.
Lots of bells and whistles in 4.2 but sometimes we sacrifice stability.
Your choice........good luck and go slow.

In my own experience the most stable i717 4.2.2 rom is sons of android build 4, all other 4.2.2 roms I've tried where Awful for hot reboots and screen flickering. As always, make sure you do a full wipe before installing anything, happy flashing!

CyanogenMod 10.1.2 has been the smoothest ROM for me, with the best battery life. I use SD-Booster, Autokiller, and Greenify (apps) as well, which give me super speed, super smoothness, and eternal battery life.
Since this change, not a single reboot, screen flicker, or other Android 4.2 issue.

Help for a Noob?

Hey guys,
I'm a new user and I know how great this forum is, i've lurked without an account for a little while. I have an international GT-i9300 and I wanted some advice on roms, how to load them and what steps should be taken.
I already have CWM installed and have root. I regularly use titanium to back up my apps and system data (just incase). But I want more control. I preferably want a rom to get me better battery life, as i'm out all day normally and the stock is just... terrible. I also hate touchwiz. I wanted some links to other threads and perhaps some tutorials to get me started. Helpful XDA users answer my call please.

Actually has no secrets for installing a custom ROM on your phone.
You can find other ROMs here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218825
Where: AOSP system based on pure Google.
I can not tell you what would be best for the battery, which would be best in performance, looks, is very relative. But I like Temasek ROM, android 4.4 kitkat, and his kernel is very customizable, performance may vary from User to User.

Stock is touchwiz. Paranoid android is far from stock tbh with looks. Even though it is a great rom.

I meant sort of stock android. I have a Nexus 7 and the Android OS seems very barebones. I wanted something like that.

Well, usually the ROMs with better battery are the Touchwiz based ones....since Samsung has not released the Exynos sources, its hard to create an AOSP ROM that doesnt have some battery problems, although the existing ones are pretty good.
If you were looking for an AOSP looking ROM, there is the Ultima ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572 It includes the Jelly Bean Domination theme, which is basically AOSP theme for Touchwiz, and some AOSP apps. Unfortunately, the devs haven´t updated to 4.3 yet-I think there are plans for so, at least until they finish porting the JB Domination theme to Samsung 4.3
There is one ROM that uses some AOSP looks, the Nightmare ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330827 . I can´t tell how much does this look AOSP, so its up to you.
And finally, if you are searching for a pure AOSP ROM, the ROMs I liked more were Slim Bean, Temasek CM and Archidroid.
Also, for kernels, I am enjoying Yank kernel on my Touchwiz ROM, through in my AOSP times I used Temasek and Boeffla...
I hope this helped for you. Remember, there is no best ROM, its personal and depends on each phone, I am just sharing some examples based on your desires.
