Hi. first of all I just want to say that I'm a big admirer of XDA forums I've been following the forums for quite some time on various phones but I'm not very active in posts / replies due to my inexperience.
I'm sick of AT&T taking forever to give us ICS and I'm not willing to wait just to get a whole bunch of bloatware and the same old touchwiz. I've come across two good roms: Onlyone and Objection. I'm kind of leaning towards Objection because It's giving me two UI options: Android 4 and the new Touchwiz, but from the replies I got the impression that Onlyone is more stable. Are there any ROMS that use the official ICS code released by Samsung or not yet?
Here are my main concerns: battery life, ROM stability and speed, and of course the good additions like updated touchwiz, S-voice, etc.
Try them all and see which you like best. Nobody can tell you which is best, because that is purely opinion based. There aren't that many, so just learn how to use titanium backup so switching between roms doesn't take too long.

Thanks for the replies. I'll definately utilize titanium backup and I'll look into The collective Mesosphere with nova and zoom zoom =)
Mesosphere is rocking it! GB has to get gone, you'll be glad it did. I haven't tried other rooms yet, admittedly. So far I don't have a need to.

I don't believe their are any ****ty ROMs. These devs create awesome roms. I haven't tried them all yet but I haven't found one I didn't like. The hybrid is what I'm rocking now.

Are you running the rom standard or have you enabled tablet mode? I just flashed it, need to put it through its paces.

Are you running tablet or phone mode?
If you prefer the unmodified, pure Android experience that you would get on a Nexus device, you can come close with a CyanogenMod based ROM. These are my personal favorites as they are practically bloat-free and don't have any carrier/manufacturer customizations. The downside on the Note is that there is no S-Note/S-Memo. Hopefully the CM devs will get these apps to work eventually, but the S-Pen does work.
If you like the TouchWiz interface then try one of the TW/ICS leak based ROMs such as OnlyOne. That was the first ICS ROM I tried and I liked it, but overall I prefer CM9.
you can try those ROMs from this guy - flappjaxxx. They are the unofficial CM9 ROM and UCLE2 stock-base ROM. They are really solid, stable, daily drivers and supported well by the awesome developer. These roms get very good comments from XDA-users.
I've tried every single rom.
for CM9- I'd use Mesosphere the rest were pretty unstable.
For Ucle2 + S-pen functionality i'd use FJ's Build. Onlyone was laggy for me.

This is like asking what beer should I drink or who is the best Golden Girl. Everyone is going to have different answers and you really need to try some and find your favorite.
That being said I am a big fan of flappjaxxx's UCLE2 rom.
My recommendation is to go with the Unofficial build of CM9 by h0tw1r3.
Nothing beats the cleanliness of AOSP, and the added features that Cyanogen throws in are well worth it.
I have been running it since he released the first build and it is extremely stable. And thanks to CalcProgrammer1, it was just updated and we may even see nightly builds.
Thanks Calc!

Hey,
I've been thinking about rooting and roming my rezound. I was wondering which rom would be recommended at the moment?
I need almost everything to work. And I work 12 hour shifts, so I need decent battery life. I make it through a whole day stock, especially if I turn data off when I'm not using it. I would to maybe try to make it more smooth, faster, and have decent battery life. How stable are sense 4.0 roms? and cm9 based ones? I would just like some recommendations on what to try first. thanks!
I would definitely go with ViperRez . Very stable and good battery life.

Business ICS and vigor 360 have my vote, both are stable and *****BUGLESS*****. Sense 4 roms still have some kinks to be worked on
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Ineffabilis deus 1.2 for sure. I've mentioned this before and I'll say it again. Ive flashed all kinds of ROMs but nothing is as perfect as Chingy's ROMs. Everything that I use works perfectly. Give it a shot.
BTW I'm not trying to say all the other ROMs aren't as good. What I should say is try them all out for yourself. Everyone has different tastes.

I can vouch for ineffabilis deus. The only problems I had was I couldn't get wifi tether to work and some minor glitches with the keyboard not popping up in text inputs on the main browser but using a different browser worked. I may have been the only one with those problems.. but it is a solid sense rom. Plenty of options to choose from when you flash it.
Now on cm9 Le noob and it's really smooth. In calls though the sound is a bit funky.. But everything is faast

We have great devs across the board for the Rezound and each offers something unique and cool for their ROMs. I would say try several and figure out what works best for you. I have used ViperRez, Nils Business Sense, Newt's, Neo's AOKP and NeoMax, Vigor, and Ineffabillis (current). I like them all and find certain aspects of each appeal to me. S-off opens a whole new door of possibilities. Have fun and enjoy the hunt.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I'd vote for either of Nils' ROMs. I'm running his Sense 4 ROM right now and the only bug I've found is that every now and then Facebook authentication fails and I have to log in again. That happens every other week or so. Battery life is really good, but I think all Sense 4 ROMS are pretty good on battery.

I have tried ClearRom4.5 and used it for a while, then I tried ViperRez1.0.3, Newts, and currently I am using Vigor360.
Honestly, if the camera will be stable in the ViperRez1.0.3, I would be still using it. So far, it is the ROM that gave me better battery life compared with others and it is very smooth imo.
I installed Newts and I was astonished with all the things loaded in there. Great ROM. Ubber stable. The camera is fast and didn't see any issues. Everything works in there. My only complain was that compared with other ICS ROMs it seems that it lags a bit for me and the battery drains faster than any other ROM I tried.
Because how stable is this ROM, I tried a couple of Kernels to see if I could get the same smoothness that I got with previous ICS ROMS. No luck!!
I just installed Vigor360 about a week ago and it is great too. Battery consumption is way better than Newts but less better than ViperRez. But the ROM is flawless and smooth. Probably same or better than ViperRez.
Benchmark in Quadrant Standard with all 4 different ROMS (with their original Kernels) gave me the average of:
- CleanRom4.5 **3100
- ViperRez 1.0.3 ** 3600
- Newts ** 2900
- Vigor360 **3100
Now, if we can have an ICS ROM that is stable as Newts, with the battery life of ViperRez and the smoothness of Vigor360, then we will have a winner.
If you don't need Sense, try Miui. The UI is very clean and smooth.
+1 for ViperRez. Stable, fast, and great battery life. Been using it since the end of July, & haven't looked back. Sense 4 is awesome. Now using it with DSB's kernel, which also works great. Camera and camcorder both working fine. Only "issue", if you want to call it that, is the data arrows not working, but you will see that with any of the Sense 4 ROMs, and to me, it is a non-issue. Awesome.
Oh, also, the Kindle app force closes, which has been reported, but again, no big deal to me, because I have my Nexus 7 for that, LOL.
Good luck, and enjoy.

Thank ya'll for all the replies. I'm kind of afraid to do the s-off thing right now, so i'm sticking with just unlocking and roming. So far the only one I've tried is Neo's Rage1.2 and its pretty awesome. When the screen is off it barely has battery drain at all. I'm interested in trying viperrez, but I think i read that he is about to release an update soon so I'll probably wait until it comes out. But an example of the battery life of rage1.2: I have the standard battery, its been off charge for 16h 47 min, with 1h 1 min screen on time and i'm sitting at 37% battery. Granted a lot of that time was with data off when i wasn't using it, but when I had the screen on data was on. Just figured I would throw that out there for anyone interested.
You've just got to try the ROMs man. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but there are one thousand threads about "best" ROMS, and each is equally useless. Your device, tastes, and desires are going to determine which ROMS are most successful for your setup. I can almost guarantee that if you flash ANY rom in the development thread that it's going to be great. Just a heads up, it's best to refrain from discussing "best" ROMS. It just pisses devs off.

I hope that it didn't offend anyone. I was just wondering what people that are using the ROMS thought about which one would be good for me based on what I was needing. Because I know some ROMS will be great, but not have as great of battery life as another ROM that is just as awesome. I like getting suggestions, and seeing what people like about which ROM. I will keep what you said in mind, and I really appreciate you letting me know that.
Hey i am going to pick up a dna soon..im waiting for the employee edition thursday! I am going to unlock and root over the weekend. I am coming from the nexus world and pure aosp which is my preference. However with the nexus 4 being gsm only i have to pursue other options...
I know we dont know if the dna will ever have any pure aosp roms but ill take that risk. I know there are only about 3 roms available currently..i want to try one that is stable....what are your experiences thus far? And what do you recommend? Not a fan of sense but i dont mind them. Thanks in advance

the closest thing to ASOP, right now is Genome 2.0. Its not quite ASOP but its pretty close because it doesn't have sense.
If you wan't sense i recommend CODIS ROM, as its very smooth and stable.
I know ASOP will eventually come on this phone because i know a few people trying to work on it now

I second Genome for the closest ASOP style rom. However I prefer UKB's Rom if you like sense. It seemed more stable on my phone and there are more sense/ukb mods out there than senseless ones. All the roms pretty much though have the same options right now within the os.
sent from my rooted DNA
FWIW, I'm perfectly happy with running stock and a couple of mods. It's zippy and rock solid.
This is the only phone that I was content to run stock for awhile. I've had the DINC2, and rezound before this. IMO this phone is a beast but like others I had that itch and tried nits and now I'm on CODIS. So I recommend CODIS if you want to keep sense.

then akop
but for now genome is a very nice rom
just make sure when you load that rom also install the keyboard toggle zip

Discuss your favorite roms. I've had a bit of trouble choosing between sense and nonsense personally. Currently running Deck's cm10.1 build, but switching to MeanBean every few days. There's pros and cons to both roms naturally.
My overall favorite is Tranquility by Bad Seed Customs of course just because of its flawless smooth opperation and dependability. Along with the Bad Seed teams wilingness to assist when ever they can. Favorite AOKP would be Team Hydra's Wild for the night CM 10.1 for pretty much the same reasons. Up and coming tho is joeyfettucini's Opperation JellyBean, really nice rom, very well made.

For Sense I agree on Tranquility, I ran it on ICS and JB. Second place is MeanBean on JB side. For AOKP I've run most of them, and I'm digging Rootbox for how much control you have. And, just as fast and smooth as CM 10.1.
I also like Tranquility, I am looking forward to their next update. I am currently running Operation Jelly Bean, which is a solid themed ROM. And I also like Viper4G. The amount of customization you can do with that ROM is great.
I'm loving rom ch3fs slim bean. Lots of features and smooth as butter.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I'm surprised! Up unti lthis point, I'd thought MeanBean was the most popular ROM around, but I think I'll be trying Tranquility now... Question, is multitasking here still HTC's sense version, or has it been fixed? That's always been my deciding point when flashing Sense based roms.
Tranquility for me is tops and tied for 2nd are mean and viper, IMO

Been running so smooth. Unbelievable battery life. Not one reboot or lockup.
Surprisingly enough my absolute favorite rom of all-time:
For the Rezound:
Xtreme Outcast's v3.0 - The ORIGINAL desensed rom. Runs so much like an AOSP rom but you can tell it's desensed. For those who wish to try it (Use Go SMS/Handcent for texts)

PS: Yes I do still use the OG from time to time
So a good buddy over on chargeforums is sending me his old rezound with the Infection Rom on it. What do you guys think of it? The Charge has two Roms currently, and one coming, but the devs were limited due to how Samsung locked the ril (Radio Interface Layer) which prevented the devs from getting any sort of netutils and limiting what could be done.
HTC on the other hand, didn't, so I'm pretty excited to see what all you guys have. I may start asking questions once I get the phone, but for now I just wanted to see what you all thought if the Rom.

if it was for any device. i would say Redemption Rom for the incredible. On the rezound i would have to say its CM10.1
Ineffabilis Deus v1.2
I always landed back on it after trying every other ROM until CM10.1 Its almost a year old and every bit as good as it was the day it dropped.
Neo's INFECTION is great. Previously I would say version 2.3, but my favorite has to be his 2.6 Inverted Dev Edition.
Well I finally have the phone, and it came loaded with Infection 2.3 which I immediately upgraded to 2.6. I'm loving this phone! I haven't tried any other Roms or kernels yet though. I know this is probably asked a lot but, if all the big ROMs are AOSP based, how are they different? I cave from a phone with two ROMs and both had pretty big differences. Is it just the tweaks, or are there major differences that I just didn't see while reading through them?
