I've just been trying out GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5.tar from Infratech's stock ROM thread for the last day or so and have found it slow. Often I'll touch the screen and nothing will register or it will take a full second or so to respond. Starting apps can sometimes take up to two seconds before it seems to register. Scrolling long lists in various apps can sometimes show a small amount of lag on Gingerbread, but on this ROM it's horrific.
This can't be right can it? Is anyone else finding this? If this is progress in the name of ICS, I'll stick with GB.

I don't know about stock rooms but I'm on cm9 the latest nightly and its pretty slick to be honest. I can't wait until the wake locks are sorted but I just love it! I hate anything of Sammy stock firmware I think they are kind of clueless in that department but good in the hardware side of things. Also people have been talking about Sammy working on android 4.0.4 so that should fix any issues. Hope I helped you mate

I've been on cm9 for the last few months, and I have just dual-booted lp9 Samsung ICS rom yesterday, and I just couldn't believe how slow and laggy everything was in Samsung ICS rom compered to cm9 and Samsung gingerbread rom. The browser was horrendously laggy compared to Samsung gingerbread roms and the same issues as described by the OP. Also, the scrolling mechanism was just screwed up beyond belief. I really like the idea of switching between cm9 and Samsung roms when I feel like change, but at the moment I find all ICS Samsung roms, just unusable after using cm9. I hope Samsung fixes this mess in their next major update.
ICS 4.0.3 is not 100%
ICS 4.0.3 is not 100% perfect couple of issue are there.
Waiting for Samsung to Release 4.0.4 which will address many issues that are present in 4.0.3.
cm9 to me is draging ics behind it, when ics is improved cm9 will be mint ,im still on Gb but will flash when it gets up to 4.1.0 etc, i dont want these bugs in my daily life.
I'm using LP7, tweaked some cosmetic stuff, and I find it very fast and responsive. A friend recently changed from GB 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.3 official via Kies and said (his words, not mine): its a whole new smartphone.
try cm9 buddy, best rom ive used atm
or you can try hydrogenics, its basically the same with some added tweaks.

ICS is smooth for me, very smooth. Don't use AOKP roms since lgcamera doesn't work well with them yet. Battery life is worse than sammy based roms as well, plus no dialer codes work. The only LAG I've gotten is with Quickpic. Don't know what the difference is between Quickpic on GB and this one on ICS but swiping across photos lags like hell and yet the stock gallery is now smooth like cream
For me, ICS is smooth as a baby's bottom, as long I stay on stock kernel. Once I flash a custom kernel, smoothness goes south. For this reason, although I like the fast charging feature in Siyah, I have to stay on stock.
dialer codes are working for me
cm9 is smooth as hell and more than stable for normal usage
yes, it is laggy. little better using Siyah.
No issues whatsoever when using AOKP roms. Try changing kernels.

I found a ROM that was receiving a lot of praise, called AndyX. It's using Siyah kernel if I remember right. I tried it and it was actually very good, nice and smooth, no complaints. It also has the ICS look I was expecting to see which was quite nice. You mention lgcamera not working on AOKP ROMs - I'd never heard of AOKP but have just done a quick google and may see what's kicking around for the S2. I know this is the wrong thread, but it's thanks to you I can now record video in 720p without in looking like a slideshow (lgcamera tips in another thread)
So, in summary, my initial choice entering the world of ICS just turned out to be a dud and there's hope yet.
EDIT: I may well go back to AndyX for a bit.. I had to restore to my normal GB ROM because I changed governor in AndyX and now the phone freezes before I can unlock it

AOKP is based off CM9 with other mods flung in (Look at Resurrection Remix or Hydrogenics) and they both run smooth. However I NEED lgcamera unless I get horrible FPS in the camera (looks like you know what I'm talking about lol). Just so you know, 1080p does work as well without lag just in case you didn't notice. I do prefer 720p though. No automatic zoom in like 1080p. I used to be on AndyX rom, quite some time ago actually
I came from Gingerbread KL1 & updated to LPG, gotta say even though I had the phone for 4 days (on GB) the lag is very much noticeable on ICS! The phone was just blazing quick everywhere but it just *feels* different now...

I am using a custom 4.1 ROM on my Galaxy Nexus. This ROM is quite stable, and usable.
I tried many 4.1 ROMS on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, but all of them were too unstable to use. For example, Wi-Fi device is not responding after waken up from long sleep, system halt after waken from long sleep, random reboots, screen glitches, system UI crashes, camera not working, hardware decoding not possible and so on. Now that Samsung officially abandoned support for GT 10.1, will there any chance that there would be a usable, stable 4.1 custom ROM comes out for GT 10.1?
Well, I will probably move on to Samsung Nexus 10 unless it has serious disadvantages, but just wanted to know this.
CM10 is very stable, very fast and I don't have any problems on my 10.1 3G :good:

No, unfortunately it will be a mystery until the end of time. It's really tragic that with all these talented devs no one will ever find out how to stabilize a custom build.
(Try task ICS with Yoda kernel.)
Dude if you run preshoots cm10 with A1 kernel, overclock to 1.6, flash it via cwm 6.0.1.5, and install the bootloader via Odin your good I'm running it right now and it seems completely stable

Run the AOKP build with A1 kernel, its quite smooth, actually smoothest among all builds I have tried recently and added with AOKP goodness
Friend wants to update her phone to ICS or jelly bean. I am looking for suggestions to the LIGHTEST and FASTEST rom with the fewest if any bugs that anyone knows of. Theres a decent list here from what i see so any suggestions would be great. I am not looking for ANYTHING fancy or colorful or features. Features are great but as long as it dosnt hinder the speed.
Thanks for your time.
AtrICS v 2.0 by Team Hope is pretty decent. Not much experience with JB except epinter's cm 10.1, so i can't give any advice there either. I'd just download each of the ICS and JB roms and try them out and find out which one works better for you.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, bad part is its not my phone, i just know how to root / install these roms so i just want one that has the basic required upgrades. Ill try the ones you suggest. Thanks. If anyone else has something to say about a particular rom it would be greatly apreciated. Reliability and speed are number 1
In that case, stay with an ICS rom. Most are pretty stable, but will be more stable after kernel development is complete.

There should be a webtop with that rom. I don't quite remember, i was on that rom for a short time before going back to gb.
All other problems should be fixed with 2.6.39.4 kernel development (see atrix dev section, ics/jb kernel thread for dev status updates) and implementation in the boot img. Be patient, they're working on it

I am want use a stable ROM ICS( Ice Cream Sandwich) with fully work Webtop.
thanks
I tried Epinter CM10 and it is a great rom. Smotth, reliable and responsive.
BUT !!!! There is a "but". There is a lot of functions that do not work anymore due to a lack of tegra drivers for ICS / JB... :
- no video recording (except in a very bad resolution 640x480)
- no hardware acceleration so you cannot play your video on your mobile stored in mp4 (native cam format), mkv....
- games will have a strange behaviour (lag, screen scrambled...)
For this reasons, I comeback to Gingerbread ROM and I have a full useable phone !
Make your choice, but You will are not able to get all
If you can get away from the idea of wanting just a JB or ICS rom, I'd suggest Neutrino Rom. Its GB and really stable.
Any rom u install which is not GB is not stable
U can go with Epinter cm10 much stable but u cannot video record using the phone the battery is also good.
On other hand u want everything working u better want to stay with MRom

Standard versions of CM, MIUI, CNA, etc
Advantages:
You're running ICS or Jelly Bean
All the latest apps are available
All the latest security enhancements are available
Battery life is decent
Disadavantages:
No HWA, which means video recording doesn't work correctly, games with heavy graphic demands won't run decently (you can forget about running GTA III, for instance), Spotify won't show album thumbnails, and there will be some screen lag.
No fingerprint reader
Currently available HWA-accelerated versions of CM (such as AtrICS and any ROM running "That Kernel" or "Those Libs")
Advantages:
You're running ICS or Jelly Bean
All the latest apps are available
All the latest security enhancements are available
HWA is available, which means everything runs silky-smooth and beautifully
Disadvantages:
M I S E R A B L E battery life (as in fully charged to completely discharged in about six hours, even if you're not using it)
Video camera still has problems
Still no fingerprint reader
A Tweaked Gingerbread ROM (such as MROM, Neutrino, etc.)
Advantages:
EVERYTHING WORKS! INCLUDING THE FINGERPRINT READER! w00t!
Full HWA
Excellent battery life
The Holo Launcher makes everything look very ICS-ish
Disadvantages:
You're still running Gingerbread
Some apps (such as SoA and XDA Premium) won't work, because they're ICS or JB-only
RaiderDuck, you forgot the lapdock, other than that, your comment should be a "sticky", not that everyone reads them, but it would cut down on the GB vs ICS/JB questions that have been answered over and over.
Well, I'm having some trouble when it comes to 3D rendering on my phone, whenever I use a combination of an AOSP/AOKP based rom (happened to me with latest Task's AOKP and Slim Bean build 5) and some semi intensive and, of course, intensive games, after some time, system crashes completely, the sound gets stuck in a loop of the latest 0.1 seconds (lol) and pretty much nothing works, I have to pull the battery. This happens normally in the first 30 seconds.
I believe this happens because of the new drivers, as those games (Rayman Origins, Beach Buggy Blitz and Real Racing 3) work perfectly with stock JB. But those are just guesses. Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!
It's not that I'm hurrying you, or demanding you to help me, but I'm still having the same problem and I can't find any solution. :S Please lol
If you couldn't give the answer for this you didn't look hard enough.

hey there, just flashed task's 4.2.2 yesterday and I am getting the same problem while trying to play Simpsons Tapped Out. Have you been able to figure anything out?
I originally thought it was the kernal having an issue with allocating resources, but my searches show that other people have the same problem with 4.2.2. If this is how its gonna be I may have to revert back to 4.1.2....

Check cpu/gpu voltage levels. My phone used to crash when playing graphically intensive games until I realized my gpu voltages were set too low.
This happens to me with NFS Most Wanted and NOVA 3. Any other game seems to work. I really want 4.2.2 CM 10.1 or AOKP or any of those Nexus like ROMs, but I ran into the same problem with all of them. Came to the conclusion is just 4.2.2 Vanilla based ROMs. Since then I've switched to SHOstock3. I really want the Nexus experience though. I just don't want to have to give up games I've paid for .
There are any disadvantages to go back to ice cream sandwich 4.0 version? Now I have custom 4.4.2 and it is laggy no matter what.

Perhaps you could try one of the lollipop versions. They (both aosp and Omni) are really stable. If you however need 3G I would suggest the aosp rom.
There's no harm in trying them out. If you still feel that they lag to much you can always go back to stock.
I've been running the aosp rom on my wifi tab for some time now and it performs pretty great actually.
Pretty great you mean responsive? Because I use omni 4.4.2 and it's laggy no matter what I do.

Yes, responsive. I did overclock it to 1400mhz but it's running stable. Only youtube is sometimes not the best when running 720p videos.
Not responsive :/
Is it smooth when using chrome, scrolling and doing other activities?
Tell me the best settings to get it fast with Lollipop.
P.S: i suggest the cm10.2 ROM with tabletUI if you want smooth scrolling and graphics.

I can only speak from my experience with the aosp rom but scrolling in Chrome is smooth, I'm also using Nova Launcher and it is overclocked to 1400 mhz. Please don't expect miracles from this old device that samsung gave up on one ago. It runs 5.1.1 as smooth as it can. Also don't expect any hard core gaming and youtube will sometimes have issues. If all these things are deal-breakers then stay with whatever you have now. I wrote this from my own experience with my own tab. My father has the same one else only that one is bone stock. Touch wiz and everything with only a handful of apps installed. And yes it runs smooth and has less "issues" but it's running 4.0.4... I hope my explanation helps you make an informed decision.

I was considering the same. I was on 4.4 omni, seemed laggy. Flashed stock ICS, which did seem snappy but still bloated. I thought I'd give AOSP 5.1 a go. Haven't over clocked anything and its definitely smoother than 4.4 omni. Very compact ROM, I installed gapps and that only set google play. Currently tested WiFi and GPS and they're working. Chrome is smooth and running flash smoothly. Auto detected resolution on YouTube.com is smooth. Haven't tried YouTube app as yet. I normally use tubemate anyway. This tab will always have trouble playing 1080p vid. Max I go now is 720. Tried and its working fine using mxplayer. 5.1 is still in social testing but the bugs are slowly being fixed. I was on ICS for a long time as it performed well. Having experienced the same with 4.4 and now upgrading to this rom , I'm happy with how smooth and responsive it is. Ticks the boxes.
My main concern is lags. I run omni 4.4 on with nova and the response is disappointing.
Most of the time, my son use it to watch movies, YouTube and some games but nothing really hard. When I take it to do some stuff on it, the lags just giving me crazy. I know that the main problem is lack of RAM but hey, with 4.0.4 it works OK.

Going back does mean stability. The way I look at it though is you can only put so much into a mini, but it will always be a mini, not a Ferrari. Lollipop seems to work OK but its stretching the capability of this tab. For me with minor tweaks its going OK. A goto software always on all my droids is Greenify. It kills all the apps lingering in the background and stops them from opening again unless I open them. Try it out, you need all the ram you can get outta these older tabs. With the paid version it also kills system apps like google play services which is a big ram hog. I guess the only way you'll make your mind up is give ICS a go for a few days then try LP and see what you think.
A lollipop ROM might be smoother, if there would be the "Performance" menu in the settings app (like CM12).
If anyone has got any cyanogenmod ROM, i suggest these settings:
CPU governor:
• Intellidemand/ondemand: The CPU will increase the frequency when needed. It's default in many kernels. I really suggest that, because the device will be very stable (and smooth) and the battery life will be quite good :good: ;
• Performance: The CPU frequency will be set to max setting;
• Powersave: The CPU frequency will be set to minimum setting.
CPU min frequency: 150mhz (max. 200mhz)
CPU max frequency: overclock to 1400Mhz (do not overclock to 1.5 or 1.6ghz, the cpu will freeze and might be damaged)
I/O scheduler: deadline
zRam: 18%
Resources clean: on
KSM: on
PS: Enable "Set on boot" to each menu.
Sorry for the worst english ever.
I like decatf's 5.1 AOSP rom. He put a lot of work into creating a wrapper for hwcomposer which does a better job translating some of the newer rendering apis to work with the ancient ics binary Nvidia video driver blobs. That's why videos and animations are much smoother on his rom than the alternatives and why you don't get that weird "lightning bolt" rendering effect that's been around since pershoot's cyanogen jelly bean roms. He also implemented an audio driver wrapper as well in the same vein. And if you use his TWRP version, you can format /cache and /data to use f2fs, which definitely helps with disk I/O. He even ported over Multirom so you can dual-boot, but alas, it doesn't boot Ice Cream Sandwich roms at the moment.
It's the best modern rom thus far for the original Tab 10.1. Other than proper modern and native Nvidia drivers updated for Lollipop, the only thing really holding back the original 10.1 at this point is the Tegra 2's lack of NEON support. But there's nothing decatf can do about that.
