Here's a list.
check Android Developmen and Original Android Development. That is where you will find verizon SGS4 roms on XDA.
The Android Development section is mostly Touch Wiz based roms, so if you like the stock samsung software but wish it was way better start there.
The Original Android Development sections is mostly AOSP based roms, So if you are a fan of android the way google meant it to be only way better then head over there. Other kernels can be found there as well.
Generally threads like this get closed because of what they usually turn into after a few posts. Here is an example:

Only you know what you want so I suggest reading about each rom so you can make an informed decision on what suits you. Each rom generally lists all the features/tweaks baked in so there is no shortage of information regarding each rom. Hope you find what youre looking for.
Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

I have just bought Galaxy S so I'm complete noob here. Previously I owned Galaxy Spica, but this is completely different. I know you are avoiding such questions, but there are so many ROM's, kernels, firmwares that I really can't decide which one to use. I haven't found any up2date comparison between ROM's, so could you please recommend me a good one or at least explain me the main differences?
Thanks.
I guess the question is "What do you need?"
Do you want a flashy shiny rom, there are those, and if you want a minimal rom, there is those. Try some out, I've tried like 20 roms, before i got satisfied..
happy hunting!
I'd like good all-rounder, but if I have to choose, I'd rather have a good looking and usable one. I see that CM, DarkyMod and MIUI are the most popular. Maybe I should choose MIUI, what do you think? Or should I go with GalnetMIUI?
p.s.: I think mods should move this thread to I9000 category
I would recommend this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091 .
Thank you for first solid recommendation. As I'm not allowed yet to post into development section, could you explain me in short what are the advantages over official 2.3.5 (except root)?
CyanogenMod maybe? Ive been using it on many of my phones. Its awesome.

"This ROM will make your Samsung Galaxy S blazing fast". The other advantages are listed in the thread. Check the "Features" section.
I am a relatively recent return to XDA (now that I have got the scourge of Apple out of my pocket and replced it with a much better Android based option!!). I was a fairly regular visitor back when I was customising HTC devices and at the time I remember that there was a superb page in the forum or on the wiki that was maintained by ROM owners and listed all the ROMs available with their current version. That way if you liked a ROM you could quickly follow if you were up to date and if you were searching for a new one then you could scroll through, look at the ratings and description and pick one that you wanted.
My question is this....does a maintained list of ROMs available for the SGS2 exist? If it does, where is it and can we have a sticky somewhere in the forum to point it out (I can't be the only person looking for this!). If it doesn't exist can somebody with a bit more knowledge of how things should be please point me in the right direction as to how you would like to see one created and I am happy to help get one up and running.
FYI I did find a thread once that had a good list of ROMs but it obviously isn't easy to find because try as I might I can't locate it again.
Thanks for all replies
Welcome back!
Here you go! I like this list as it is constantly updated with new and updated ROMs.
Enjoy your stay!

I'm new to this forum and am simply overwhelmed with the number of custom roms out there!
So I'm asking the community what they would recommend as the best rom + kernel combination where battery life, stability and customability are concerned. I value battery life as the most important followed be stability and how much I am able to customise the rom.
And as a side question is it easier to flash roms using mobile Odin or through a custom recovery like cwm. There have been conflicting posts by members saying that cwm doesn't work well on the s3 and that rom manager also doesn't work well?
Thanks in advance!

recommended rom depends purely on your taste buddy. my preference(temasek build CM10.1+siyah kernel). there won't be any issues if you do the procedure correctly.
asking that question is against the rules

Morning/Afternoon/Evening all,
I am a noob, the registration video told me so. My self esteem is now well and truly slaughtered
I am looking around the forums, trying not to post as I know the folks here are hot on the idea of read first, if you can't find it, ask. If you still can't find it, Google it. If you still can't find it, you're probably delusional and have completely fabricated the very existence of the subject matter - which I completely agree with. This thread was relevant to me though as someone also curious on recommendations as to where best to start. I had tried using ROM Toolbox in the small hours of this morning to install Cyanogen and unfortunately got stuck in a 'boot loop' but sensibly had done the necessary to revert to stock as is/was.
Guessing you see this countless times, new folks with no clue coming here and asking a tonne of questions so I apologise in advance. Looking forward to reading and learning more but any further elaboration and opinion on Cyanogen would be much appreciated.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
Since it doesn't really appear to be allowed to ask for good ROMs, how can I find a ROM that fits my needs?
I'm basically looking for a list of ROMS that are compatible with my device. By "compatible with my device" I mean that it should support display output through the HDMI and of course support for all the other hardware compunents. My device is a Xperia Neo V btw.
If I remember it correctly I need an ICS or GB ROM.
So is there a nice list that allows a complete noob like me to find out which ROM could be my best or at least a good choice?
Maybe a list with descriptions or feature lists so that I can tell which ROM I like the most.
And of course it would be nice if the list would only contain or mark compatible ROMs.
I'm also looking for a list of compatible kernels.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Ferivon

While searching for roms/kernels, it's best to see in the development section of your forum. In your case, here it is :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/neo-v-development
Try to use a more recent rom as it is easy to get support for them if anything goes wrong.
Thanks, but the problem with this link and also with this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316394
is that I have to read the thread of every ROM/kernel to estimate if they fit my needs. :/
And there are soo many, it makes it really difficult for a noob like me. I mean I don't even know the differences between ICS and GB. :/

Sadly yes, that's the only way to choose a rom. Spend sometime reading the threads, see screenshots (Try to keep an eye on the buglist too !)
For your second question about choosing ICS or GB. I won't go much deeper, You just have to keep in mind that a newer android version means better user experience, compatibility with more apps and so on. Hope this helps you
In general, KK>JB>ICS>GB
That's sad, well, thank you anyway.

i agree with you. I just need a rom that would be smooth for a lot of time. Most roms stuck after a month. I am looking for more that 5 months and I am still looking. I try the GB releases, they are quick but the applications crash all the time. Then I try ICS releases I find 3-4 really good releases but everyone of them had a different problem and after a month it was really slow. Now i am trying some KK releases. I try 3 releases. 2 of them was good at the begin. Only the one still works after 2 weeks. It got some bugs but it still works.
I will recommend you some releases to try.
Gingerbread: Gin2KitKat, Spacious GB
Ice Cream Sandwich: Spacions ICS, Superleggera, Ultimate HD
Kit Kit: ParanoidAndroid
This till now... You will find all of them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/neo-v-development
Currently using Mike's CM11, before this I'm using Jelly Vanilla EX(that smooth Jellybean 4.2.2) and I settled on that rom for almost half years(nice for me)
And as usual, it's hard to recommend roms because everyone has different needs. If you wish to find a good-enough rom, try it by yourself and feel it :thumbup:

If you want to go for jellybean (4.1.2) then I have been using Super JellyBean on my device since long... Its stable and battery friendly.
Moreover you may try other roms to suit your needs
You may find the thread regarding this on device's development section
Hope this helps
Recently rooted, on stock ICS and was looking to upgrade to at least 4.1+. There are many ROMs 4.1+ but some have Data not working, Bluetooth not working. I am looking for a custom rom that I can pretty much use like a daily (as long as essentials work...data/camera/text... I'm interested)
Appreciate any response, thank you.
I'll second this - never put on a ROM since there was so little development, but I'm getting to the point where it's either a new ROM or start planning for a new phone.

Greetings,
There is no such thing as a "Best/Most Stable" rom.
It's all a matter of personal opinion.
My advice is read and flash until you find something that meets your needs.
Thread closed.
