Well, at first sight this seems to be a rather staightforward question with an obvious answer at hand. But if you dig deeper, than you'll find it more difficult to choose among the various possibilities. Here are some hints.
A. Roms
(1) Stock rom from Samsung (newest version is currently 2.3.6).
As far as I can tell and reading about other users experiences, it has the best battery running time. And performance wise I can't tell any disadvantage or lag either.
(2) Roms based on Ketuts kernel found in CF-Root.
(2.a) CF-Root b82 version and below
The system performance regarding battery and lag should be the same, because the kernels are stock (by Samsung) ones. But in reality the modder of the rom package may have used some scripting tweaks (init.d) or heavily themed the look. It may make the battery running time and/or the responsiveness of the system better or worse. But any modifications also bring the risk for bugs (wlan, sim-toolkit, ...).You should skip through the corresponding thread and find out.
(2.b) CF-Root b82.ex version and up
From here onwards Ketut has begun to tweak and build his own kernel based on the stock kernel configuration parameters (/proc/config.gz).
(3) Roms based on Cyanogenmod 7
This is an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod for the s5830.
It is well known, that it suffers under a battery drain issue. On the other hand you will get the most out of the device regarding lagfree performance. Recommended for heavy gamers at the cost of battery duration.
My recommendation is now that you goes from (1) to (3) and try them out to experience yourself, which package does really fullfills your/her needs. Because no one can tell you for sure, which rom is the best suited for you, because it is a matter of personal taste and preference.
Here you can find some introductionary materials into the world of modding to make the s5830 a better device accommodating to your needs.

-> [TUTORIAL] How to upgrade, root, flash Recovery & Custom ROM Samsung Galaxy
B. Tweaks
(1) Make battery last a little bit longer.
If you're really serious about finding ways to extend the battery running time, than you should read the whole thread, because usefull informations are scattered and not only in the OP.
-> [Hint/Tip]Best way to save battery
(2) Lagfree scripts (only applicable to rooted device with init.d enabled)
This scripts may also contain some tweaks, which will claim to also raising the battery running time of the device.

I know that everyone is probably tired of the "best rom" thread which keeps on popping up everyday and I don't really think that snubbing them off is the correct thing to do. Most of people who ask such questions are probably new to the forums or not so regular so they don't even know that and such thread was locked or the rules and stuff, which I guess makes this thread very necessary.
Here people can post their experiences or their opinions about the various roms that they have tried. This will create sort of a place where you can find where you can find opinions about all the roms instead of browsing through threads of all those different roms. I will also try to update the first post, giving a brief common opinion about the most popular roms on the device. New members, as well as existing members can use this thread to find out easily which rom might be the best for them and there won't really be a need of any "what's the best rom?" thread anymore.
But for all this, I would need help of all your members. If you try any rom, post your opinions, comments, reviews here instead of the dev thread of that rom. I by myself can't try all the Roms so without contribution of all you people, this thread wont last long!
To avoid confusion, let's follow this format for now for posting!
1. Name of the Rom (with version no.)
2. Any additional performance scripts (if any)
3. Time since you are using the Rom
4. Pros
5. Cons
6. Comments / Short review in your own words
Also, NOTE : This is a Rom review thread. I guess you can ask question about someone's review but don't go around, posting here what's the best Rom because that kind of defeats the purpose of the thread doesn't it?
If the users and moderators agree, I guess this thread can be made sticky too so that it doesn't get lost and people can access it easily.
More will be added as I remember.

Hi
Which rom for the LG G2 international version is most fastest, smoothest and most stable at the moment? I am currently running the stock rom that came with the phone and i am finding it a bit laggy and jittery when.opening apps, closing apps, scrolling, gaming etc. I wanted one that runs like a nexus 5 smooth and fast and good performance on games. Please recommend me a rom.
Thankyou in advance!!
I am on stock 4.4.2 and I find it not laggy at all. I did come from a HTC One X however.
XDA frowns on Rom recommendations, so I doubt you will get an answer.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
I am not sure if which is best rom posts are allowed.
However to quickly answer your questions I am on jelly bean stock rom rooted and look at my antutu score in signature.
ps - I kid you not that score is definitely visible when using the phone it flies along without any lag others will disagree with this.
As always YMMV.
Best of luck.
We do not allow best ROM/Kernel threads on XDA. The question is subjective everyone has their own needs and usages. SO what's best for yo may not be what's best for someone else. Best advice is to head over to the development section try some out and see which best suits your needs.
Thread closed
So... First of all, I'm not asking for the best ROM.
At the moment, I'm using ArchiDroid v2.5.2 on my i9300, and it's fast, but... Random reboots, and the camera quality it's not the same as in the 4.3 ROM's.
What I want is a ROM with no random reboots, with the best camera quality and of course, as fast as AOSP or even faster
So... Which ROMs (and kernel) do you guys recommend?
I'm tired of switching between 4.4.x ROMs, all of them have bugs. The Note2 ports are laggy (even though everybody is saying that these ROMs are smooth as butter) and AOSP have the problems that I've mentioned before.
Help me, please
Best/Recommend Roms/kernels threads are not allowed on XDA, try them yourself and decide.
If I were to recommend you I would say ArchiDroid or NeatRom

Yes, I know that. But there are SO many ROMs and I've tried lots of them, and none of them are "perfect".
ArchiDroid or NeatROM? JellyBean versions? I've tried both, but the KK version.

I would use the stock Android 4.3, root it and than remove all the Bloatware from Samsung, install Googy Max2 and you got a pretty fast phone
Abort the Samsung laggy and almost useless world, choose AOSP roms.
I can propose you the only AOSP rom tried: CyanogenMod 11.
Download the latest M release (more stable than nightlies).
Note that there are some minor bugs, a 4.4 "perfect" system for S3 actually doesn't exist.
Then... the better kernel is BOEFFLA, useless to say [emoji6]
Download the related app (the latest BOEFFLA Config-v2 apk), choose zzmove or pegasusqplus as governor, while as scheduler choose sio.
To boost your phone, have fun with all the kernel parameters, CyanogenMod is considered the better rom, all other AOSP roms are based on CM source code, useless to change os.

A wildly sweeping and inaccurate statement if ever there was one.
There are some exceptional stock based ROMS out there, with very good performance, good battery life and stock features that you don't get in AOSP which many people like to have (also from what i've seen, the stock Camera app gives better pictures too)

I tried Android Revolution HD: at first was moving better than stock rom, but when I began to use hardly my device... too many lags and terrible slowdowns.
Caused mainly by the unremovable TouchWiz.
Using another launcher, the heavy TouchWiz works ever, for different reasons than the simple use of launcher.
You can remove all the bloatware, make lots of optimizations... but TouchWiz will "eat" your RAM (only 1 GB on I9300 and lots of its variants) and never you'll be able to quietly use so many apps as in AOSP roms.
On CyanogenMod, Trebuchet can be completely replaced by other launchers, unthinkable thing on a Samsung rom.

You tried one other stock based ROM and made your conclusion from that alone?
Each to their own, but I've used enough versions of CM on enough devices over the years to know the pros and cons, and personally on the S3 I can get a most satisfactory level of performance and battery life from a stock derived ROM whilst not losing any of the additional functions.

Enough said, this is going off-topic and is not helpful to the OP, and as we both agree on your statement of 'A Samsung rom is useful for better compatibility' that's reason enough on it's own to recommend a stock derived ROM like Imperium as it will address the OP's original request of:

Totally agree with the first thing, then you told a bull****, you based your "fictitious reason" on a my partial citation at your leisure.
To prevent misconceptions and "abuse" of what I said in the topic, @hundred_miles_high forget to explain that according to me, the stock roms "compatibility" is limited only to Samsung devices.
With BubbleUPnP and similar (you should know them), stock roms become completely useless... or you need the 2-way call recording? [emoji6]
OP dislikes (as everyone) forced reboots, and need a good camera quality. If the suggested rom is poorer in any other term respect to AOSP systems, it doesn't matter.
Is this your reasoning?
With CyanogenMod 11, the terrible 10.2 camera experience was aborted.
Stability is guaranteed, also if the releases are snapshots, more than 6 months of developing.

Why would a Samsung ROM be compatible with anything other than a Samsung phone? This is after all the SAMSUNG S3 forum isn't it, thought it would be pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain the context it was used in.
I don't understand your ramblings about BubbleUPNP but Bubble and Sempervid links work fine on my stock derived ROM - I use them regularly with youtube/tubemate , streaming web content and media on my other devices to play direct to my TV (or xbox or nexus 7 for that matter) through my S3.
Ran out of interest with rest of your post due to your rudeness, but maybe you should check the CM11 M9 thread in regard to complaints of poor sound quality in the camera app...........

Yes, I was a bit hard in my answer, because you hurted me with your presumption and falsity to report properly my citation.
"This is after all the Samsung S3 forum"
With this stupid aforism you have damned lots of users who run a different rom.
I propose you to browse with brain (I dubt you know how use it, almost in this context) any S3 support forum, and see how many people use, speak and receive support about CyanogenMod, SlimKat, PacRom, etc.
And you are the first user who compare, even consider better a stock rom than AOSP... in terms of performance.
I hope you are joking.
"Ran out (...) Samsung devices"
You won't recognize the mistake (if not intentional) when you reported partially my famouscited my famous citation.
The truth is that you braved me since replying my first post: this is a topic where OP required "suggestions" (do you know this term?) from each user, not debates, nor topic wars.
Reread the topic, reflect about and get out, you told enough.
