Not sure if I have over looked or not, but I was looking for a completely decked out customer ROM with all the fix-in's like, customer color themes, no original Icons, that sort of thing. it would be stable and fast. if there are any , please give me a link
If I am out of my mind... please do so as well
Thank you Devs for all your hard work!
everyone will have a different opinion on what works and what doesn't, your best bet to to just try them out give them a day or 2 each to see how they run for you.
This is such a broad question that can be taken so many ways. As far as ASOP goes if you are talking having the most options pacman or revolt are going to have the most options.

Go to the development thread and see all the awesome roms we have foe our beloved i717...also there are some in android original development. .....to each is own when picking out roms
Thanks Everyone
And my apologies for the broad question and thank you for the recommendations.
Not sure if ur a fan of touchwiz or not but Big, Nun, and The Family are doing some great things with Black Jelly. Dont let the fact that its in beta deter you. The rom is fast, stable, and very customizable. Also, GT's Padawan JB is pretty good as well. Those are just my personal recomendations.
A BIG @ZZ JAR OF BLACK JELLY
With the cm10.1 roms you have many themes available to really change appearences. See the app store.

Hi guys, sorry that this has probably been asked a million times, but I've been through the bible and 10 pages of this board and can't find a single clean TouchWiz ROM without garbage theming and addons that just make the phone unpleasant to use.
All I'm looking for is a clean, unthemed, TouchWiz Froyo ROM that's stable and doesn't have any bloat. Should I just revert to stock and remove the bloatware manually, or is there a ROM that fits this criteria? Thanks.
Garbage theming? I would give u an answer but I dont know what completly stock ROM is out there but I will let u know ur not gonna get one if ur gonna be bashing on all these Devs ROMs and then ask for info. Just be a lil more concious on what u say.

I have no issue with the hard work these devs do, I appreciate all the impressive achievements they've made. I use custom ROMs on my Desire and Transformer.
What I don't like, though, is not being able to find a single ROM that has the UI made the way Samsung intended. People dislike TW for being inconsistent with the rest of Android, never mind colours on top of that which are often inconsistent, hard to read, clash, or not a colour I'd chose. I find it hard to believe there's not anyone else who'd agree.

I'd have to say Project V and then put TW3 back onto it and it's pretty much like a "Stuck +" ROM.
Looks like stock, but runs EXTREMELY smooth and fast.

Quick question, is there a link for TW3 I'm missing? All I saw was TW4.
IMO this is the best 2.2.1 rom for the vibrant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015303
Bone stock AOSP rom, with a Hint of touchwiz. Paired with his Kernal, or the latest Bali for 2.2/2.2.1 can't be beat.
Best battery life I've ever gotten,
Best GPS I've ever seen.
and its Uber smooth, atleast as smooth as CM7 if not smoother.

That also looks sweet. Add in Launcher Pro or ADW and it could work fine. Thanks!
I would say Project V or Bi-Winning, but if you want to upgrade to GB you can try RevolutionRom which is virtually stock (it is themed like the SGSII) with a few tweaks to make fast and really stable.
Hey everyone,
the idea of this thread is to see which ROMS are people using the most. Feel free to post your opinions, always with respect to others.

Surely AOKP won't be the winner by a longshot.
The list should probably be condensed a bit. Like including both paranoid android rom's into the same category, maybe merging the ones that build from the CM10.1 source into a single category.

At the beggining I just made an option for paranoid, but then I checked both threads and there were a couple of ppl using each one, so I though, why not separate them. In order to include the changes you said, I think it must be a moderator who does that, i'm not sure but I can't find how to edit the poll (never made one...). Thanks.
I was thinking of a poll to see one option you're missing is 'Stock Rom' Would be nice to also graph users that aren't using a custom rom and are instead just using google's official one.
And there should be a 'Other - please list your rom' option as a good chunk of people won't vote without 2 options if there not applicable to them so its going to be skewed for stats without them.
I think CleanROM should be included in the poll, as it's a quite popular ROM.

In theory it was there, i'm not sure why it isn't. Totally failed doing my first poll lol. Any clue if I can edit the poll or it must be an admin?
I use Pac on my nexus 10 and also on my sgs2, because i think PA is very useful especially on the nexus, but it´s nut enough customisation, so the mixture between PA and AOKP is great.
So i only can advise you to give PACman a try

Think the admins/mods need to edit the poll hopefully they will be nice enough to do so as this poll would be worthwhile for all of us here with nexus 10's
I sent a non urgent report so the mods can see it and hopefully be nice enough to update the thread.
I use AOKP with KTManta... AOKP Milestone, official download.
updated to Kaos Droid's new ROM, so far seems good
MrRobinson's AOKP PUB with KTManta kernel here.
Carbon Nightly!!
I must say, I'm pretty stoked with 2nd place so far!!
Been testing different ROMs like Roobox, Tasker, Liquidsmooth, I am using Carbon for now. I like AOKP too will try Sentinel next. So many ROMs to try too much fun.
Don't forget kaos droid... Awesome rom and the dev is very willing to add custom features
I've tried nearly everyone on the list. But I always end up going back to the AOKP PUB builds. I fluctuate between the builds by Bigxie and Mr. Robinson - depending on who has a more recent build. No other ROM I've used has all the customization options I'm looking for (including my #1 must-have Tablet UI) as well as including the increased speed and fluidness. With that said, it's great they there's so many options for the device. It's one of the reason I love Nexus devices.
I liked pacrom but had to switch back to paranoid android because ps3 controller wouldn't connect to sixaxis
*edit ps3 controller now connecting since flashing the newest pacrom.
Just got my N10 a couple of days ago and I'm looking for a ROM. Which one of the AOKP custom roms are the best?

Hey guys, I've been checking out all of the AOSP ROMS our awesome developers created, but I was wondering which one of them you're currently on or prefer. I'm going to make the switch to AOSP after being on the Sense 5 Port for a while, but I'm unsure as to which ROM I should install. What do you guys think? Thanks!
These threads are really frowned upon bro. My opinion is to try them all. That's the fun part about flashing. Every phone reacts differently to each Rom so just jump in and get your flash on!

I'm really digging Slimbean. Extremely lightweight with just the right bonuses added in. Rock solid on my phone.

Hey All,
First, and most importantly, I would like to say hello and THANKS to all of the people on this forum and devs who put together and support CFW's. You all do great jobs, and should be proud of your work.
Second, I have not posted here before since my questions were always answered with a search of the forums. This time it is not the case as I will explain.
I have a Galaxy note from Bell and I think it is an awesome piece of hardware (so much so I also bought a Note 10.1). I was quite happy with it for a long time but my patience for touchwiz eventually wore thin. Turning on the phone to make a call or text and having to wait while the phone finishes some phantom background task was incredibly annoying. Why does Samsung make great hardware and then ruin it with bloatware and junk?
This led me to to find a CFW which did not have this issue. I tried several and was blown away by the quality and completeness of these roms. They solved so many problems and did things the way the should have been done in the first place. I was in heaven. There was just one problem...stability. None of them slowed to a crawl and were always blisteringly fast, but the phone would lock up and reboot once every day or 2. This was not acceptable for a phone which is needed for work and emergencies. I would assume that the small number of these phones makes it less likely for the roms to be tested with them to the same extent as for a Note 2 or S3. I have even tried touchwiz-based roms which do not crash, but have the same occasional unresponsiveness of the samsung original.
So here is my question: has anyone found a rom which is STABLE in a real way? When I search I see people who say roms are stable but they never qualify their opinion with crash frequency so it remains a purely relative term. I love this phone and would really love to have a rom like PAC with all of its awesomeness but stability is king for me.
Here is what I have tried, full wipes done before each flash:
Cyanogenmod 10.0, 10.1
PAC rom
Padawan
Blackstar Blackjelly, 2 different versions
Thanks.
Jellybean Sandwich is really fantastic. It's based on ICS, so if you require Jellybean specific features it might not be for you.

How would one "qualify" their opinion with "crash frequency" if the rom they are using doesn't crash? There are many more roms than the ones you have listed.
Also, it has been my exprience that the 4.3 roms are very stable.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using xda app-developers app
I also second Jellybean sandwhich. It's great for stability, and since you would like to know to what extent I mean "stable" then this is what I mean...this ROM has NEVER crashed or rebooted on me, and for countless other users. It is an ICS based rom, with added jellybean features. It's a lightweight ROM, with not as many features as say AOKP, but many of those features can be added with "Xposed Mod" if you've ever used it. So you get the "speed" of jellybean, with the absolute stability of ICS. I highly recommend you try it out. People who have had trouble with the ROM (there are very few) have all induced the problems on their own, or probably have faulty hardware. I can vouch that if you wipe clean, and flash correctly everything will work right out of the box, except USB mount (which there is a fix to make it work), and a bug that gives you and "sd card damaged" notification when nothing is really wrong.
EDIT: If you want a fast touchwiz based ROM that is not necessarily Jellybean. I recommend Novena ROM. It's an older ROM but one of the fastest ROMs you can get for our phone. You may have to look on the second page in the development section as it hasn't been updated in months
Go to an ICS rom if you want speed and stability. No matter what anyone on these forums will say, you cannot, cannot, cannot find speed and stability in ANY jb rom. Some may have stability, but lack speed. If you just use them [jb roms] for a while, you can forget that they aren't fast and become accustomed to them, but if you touch an ICS ROM or a newer galaxy phone, you'll quickly be reminded that you're delusional.
both Touchwiz Rom's are stable. they are rocks and will not give you a random reboot. if you have read like you said, than you may have even seen one of several postings in the Padawan tread. if you haven't.......p355-378 is a good read and will lay out some solid fundamental settings which would lead you to nirvana.
many also seem to overlook one 4.2 rom, as even I did for the longest time. Sons of Android or SOA is the ONLY 4.2 rom out there that I got no randoms with and did not need to seek an alternate kernel.
those are just 2 roms. everyone will tell you, every phone is a bit different. finding a rom that is going to satisfy everyone the same. its like voting for a President now and days. you don't really vote for the one you want anymore, its voting for the lesser of two evils. everybody knows, you cant have good without evil.
you are getting some good personal opinions here. it sounds like you know what your looking for, but you have yet to decide as to what you are willing to tolerate. we all tolerate something for the rom that we want. what evil are you willing to tolerate? only you can answer
me........stability is what I seek, and lack of some bells and whistles is what I tolerate. as mentioned previously, I get some of that back with Xposed and keep my stability.
good luck my friend
Honestly, I'm using a stock deodexed/debloated ROM. Works just fine for me.
SkeletonKey, Padawan, JellyBeer, Prophylactic are all also great ones that I personally used a lot.
Your mileage may vary though.

I've been on Revolt for 2 weeks and no crashes. The only 'bug' is that sometimes when you press PWR to activate the phone, the capacitive buttons highlight but the screen stays blank. Press PWR twice (once to turn 'off' and again to turn back on) and you'll see the lock screen.
I was playing with the tweaks a lot, so this 'bug' could just be from something I did. Other than that it's blistering fast compared to Bell stock (yes, I'm on Bell too and feel your pain) and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Hello everyone,
I used to post on another forum but have came over to xda due to the massive volume of users/support. I just got a new i605 and LOVE it! The first thing I did was root it and install a TW-based ROM as I wanted to keep the TW features originally to see if I would use them. Well I'm sure a lot of people do use them, and they are nice and all, but just not a requirement for me. So, I was curious if anyone had an opinion of what a good DARK rom is out there? I love inverted gapps and darks screens, etc. Currently I'm running Jelly'Beans' build 22 and just installed some team blackout apps to get some of those apps in place. Love the ROM but wanting to experiment some. On my Nexus 7 I run slim bean and love it and how you have 1 switch to set it to "Dark" mode. Anyone know any stable TW or AOSP based (happy either way) roms that are pretty well maintained on the i605 that have a dark option? Some I have been researching include:
PAC-MAN, Illusion, Goodness Noteworthy, and Eclipse (even though it's an old build).
Thanks so much!

Welcome to the Note2 forums.
XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
