I'm a Froyo user and I want to try a stable JB Rom. The most important for me is the battery life and working GPS. Can you recommend a stable and with user-friendly installation ROM? THANK YOU!
The easiest installation and fastest ROM for me was xylon. Definitely and amazing rom

I use slim bean 3. It is jb 4.1.2. There an updated version slim bean I haven't tried yet, its 3.1. But I'm not sure about the version of JB. I found this ROM to run a lot smoother and with fewer crashes than cyanogenmod. Also the display doesn't dim from stock, like cyanogemod does. Slim bean is a great ROM to try out

i know i know you guys will look at me and say things like "wtf you asking this for now!!" 
The benchmarks post and test all roms page hasnt been updated since 12 days ago and before i say anythiong i tried all roms seriously no joke but havent tried the new updates for most ics roms since 3 weeks ago but im currently on gxg jelly bread and love the rom for playing games but still gingerbread is kinda boring and i see all mods and new stuff coming out is for ics
can any just tell me which is the best rom?
im thinking between superleggera, jellysandwhich, iced bean and flylight....
and again sorry for asking but i need just some advice
Sent from my ST18i using xda app-developers app
Nothing against the devs of ICS ROMs but ICS can never be as good as JB. Tried PACman and it's amazing. Btw I've tried every single ROM and I say this one's the best. But try all of them, it's worth it.

I've been using flylight for a while now and can strongly recommend it. As a base Rom it's clean and fast and it has coped with all the mods I've layered on top
The other approach is to choose something like jelly sandwich; with its aroma installer you have your choice of all the best mods out there.
As far as I can tell all of the 587 roms are pretty tight so it really is a choice between a stripped Rom like fly light or s fully featured one like jelly sandwich.
Don't discount CM either the ics build is excellent imo.

+1 for flylight. everything works lightning fast
also can try SuperleggeraV3 !
PAC alpha 11.2. Best for daily use. Lots of customization! Go for it
My favorites are JellySandwich and Aires repacked by 4pda.ru rom (gb).
Miui if you want customization... or flylight or jellyswandwich for performance!!!
Haven't checked out iced yet !!!

i think pac is the worst one jb rom
fxp140 is better
pa is the best
+1 for PACman with latest update. Recent update fixed front camera issue and now good for a daily rom!

which version of PAC did you try?
i'm verry happy with PAC alpha 11 +1st patch.
verry responsive, fast (3200 antutu @ 806/134mhz) many many options and good battery life
(in alpha 10 battery life was bad, 11 is very good).
Hey guys I really appreciate for this advice thank you
I'm on jellysandwich now 6.2 and it still has bugs and I feel that its slow don't know why but whatever. I'm going to try superleggera now than flylight and than ill make my choice. Pac and fxp don't work since they are cm based don't why but both of them give me fc android.phone.process I believe its sim related because I can't get a single bar of reception. If I put it on airplane mod I don't get fc
Anyways thanx guys but please keep on replying on your favorite rom thanx

I'm using Superleggera V3 myself and for now is the fastest ROM i've tested. Just my 2 cents.

Try with a new fix, personally i didnt have problems with JellySandwich (except wifi obtaining ip problem in first versions)
Apsolutely smooth on 800Mhz, deep undervolted, Antutu benchmark 4295 (on 1,4 ghz)
6.2 is not yet polished, maybe you can try 5.0 (bug free)

What's wrong with PAC?! It's got everything PA and FXP have. It's like a hybrid of those + aokp.

Well for me I always get force close with android.phone.process when I put with sim card, and without sim card it works perfect. All rims work with my phone except for Roms that have cyangenmod
In it
Sent from my ST18i using xda app-developers app
for me i like FXP CM 9.1 and MIUI ROM
since other ROM ROM just a stock ROM has been strip down and tweaked...
The AOKP on its own gave me really bad graphical errors, though PAC worked fine. BUT for MMS problems......
Tried a few of the other ICS roms.. Jelly, Opti, MIUI(liked the least), Pureness, HD......
I really like Opti and Jelly Sandwich6.2(not tried the newer one) For now I have settled on CM9.1
What's some differences in cm10...I've not flashed a cm10 rom yet and I was just curious? Is there any difference in how the UI functions?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
No difference in the UI.. just the performance of jelly bean is better
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
CM9: Based on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4
CM10: Based on Jelly Bean 4.1 - 4..2
Apart from the difference in upgraded Android OS versions, Jelly bean holds a smooth UI with improved notification support and performance. It also adds some cool framework features like the notification dropdown which has been improved significantly. To sum up, if you are willing for stability go for CM9 which can be used as a daily driver but If you want drastic improvements with some bugs to compromise with, choose CM10. On this note, I would also state that bugs are being solved at a speed and so will you get a bugless CM10 soon. Thanks to Rashed, adfad666 & Bytecode.
I tried Rashed's and adfad666 CM10 ROMS and the only difference I found aside of the notification bar was the version number and the countless bugs. ._. !
All jb roms have terrible battery life atm. If you use WiFi a lot that alone is a no go.

Hello
Sorry if this question is really basic but i need some help.
I recently installed 4.2.2 CM10.1-20130217 nightly and i am getting absolute trash battery. (kernel 3.0.63-g5f9dde0) and i want to switch to slim bean stable 4.2.1...
Questions:
Will i have to flash back to stock?
If so, do i have to flash CM10 or 10.1?
after that do i use the CM10 GApps or Slim bean GApps?
again sorry for the novice questions but i really need some help here ):
thanks in advance!

No, just flash slim on it. Wipe cache and factory reset. Don't forget to save your apps, sms and so on.

Okay so i've successfully flashed slim bean (thank you to previous 2 posters!) and i believe it has everything that cm has but all the bugs i can find are somewhat fixed. My first impression was 'wow why is everything so small' and this question was a FAQ on slim beans webpage which can be changed. The default launcher used was holo launcher HD which, in my opinion, looks exactly like trebuchet launcher for cm but you can add shortcuts! (yay) and has alot more that trebuchet cant do which i am still discovering. Another thing i like about this is that you can add a brightness slider in the notification drop down (really helpful). However, Slim Bean does have a performance setting but does not allow you to overclock to 1.2 MHz which is fine because it has all the other performance settings included. Slim OTA seems very convenient but i havent had a chance to use it yet.
Overall for me i find the battery life way better with heavy use (cant describe hours yet because i left it there when i was sleeping and havent charged yet) and performance is smoother. This is definitely slim and has many more features i have yet to discover compared to CM. Any questions you can look at videos, pm me, or post here.
EDIT1: GApps seem to only include gmail, play store, google calandar, Holo Launcher HD and possibly SuperSU, because i see it and i cant seem to uninstall it.
ok sir thank you very much! this is fun! im going to flash slim bean now..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
done! im booted to slim bean! it faster to flash slim beam compare to cm10.1 and faster boot also.. time to restore my apps.. is it safe to restore data as well on titanium back up if im from another rom?
im editing
after 1hr.. well my phone forecloses the settings and youtube.. and i dont experience it on cm10.1.. om going to flash it again.. also gps is not functioning, if you toggle it off the SU ask you non stop! but on cm10.1 it function flawlessly..
AW: [Q] Installing Slim Bean 4.2.1 Stable from CM10.1?
Slim has semaphore kernel. You can update it separately, flashing in recovery mode.. Use semaphore manager from play store to tweak and tune..

my GF just bought herself an open international s3. i flashed her AOKP but the camera and the battery performance is not good enough for her. The TW roms on XDA are just too much for me - everything is so bloated and heavily skinned. i just want a zip with the latest 4.1.2 TW rom with little optimation + root.
anyone with a good tip?

Well, it's tough to go back to GB after you've used ICS for a while. That said, it's really up to you and your preferences whether you want to use GB or ICS.
Personally, I would prefer CM9, because it is more customizable than stock GB. But don't let my words make the decision for you.
Try out both the ROMs, see which one you like and make your decision.
Good luck. :good:
In my opinion sony ics is absolutely poo. Is cm9 really that much better tho?
Sent from my 4.2.2 PAC powered Xperia S via Tapatalk
gb rocks pros: more free ram, loud volume, really stable
cm9 pros: ics features, better camera, smoother
also, if i remember correctly, there's a rom that combines a cm9 core with some features from cm10 and cm10.1. you may want to give it a shot!
Why? I used ics with sliding kernel, the best you can get from sola. I just removed some apps and it run couple of months without hiccups.
No mods except cyber shot and fidelity. Fluid, stable and awesome battery life and the best, fully featured, everything working fine.

To be honest, CM9 is way better than stock GB/ICS if you are not very picky about camera performance.
