I recently rooted for the first time and I'm looking to find a ROM that isn't too much of an off-chute from the stock ROM but is also decent at conversing my battery life. I was thinking GB since ICS has that severe bug on the galaxy s2 1777
Oh boy you need a lot more searching and a lot more reading before you get any help.

Indeed, I'd start with looking through each of the ROMs out for ICS currently. as well as checking out Kernel tests
I need to update my signature, I keep forgetting to do that.

Please do yourself a favor and do some research before you even think about doing what you are thinking about doing.
Once you start reading and ask relevant questions, people will answer you better. Even if you haven't tried it yet, and you ask questions that occur only after having read about it, people will start pointing you in the right direction.

That's kind of what I meant...It's difficult to get sentiment across on a forum post!
But yeah, click around, learn a thing and ask about that thing. If you show you are somewhat informed, you'll be helped. That's how I did it and I was helped tremendously.
Shostock is the very thing you're looking for. Stock with some stuff. Try it then try others if you want.
Then one day you too can be a jerk to people who ask easily answered questions.

KH7 and KK6 are basically the same and run fine everywhere except the Loop and O'Hare, where the data doesn't work at all.
I recently tried out LC5 by accident and it turns out that works great in O'Hare and the Loop, but is very spotty everywhere else. I should probably go through the others but that would require a free weekday in the Loop.
I have task' aokp and run flawless... Never have a single issue..
Plus he thread is fun and have a lot of support to the questions that aren't on the OP (original post)

What ICS bug do you refer to?
If it's stock-like GB you're looking for, I've heard great things about Unnamed and UnOriginal.
OP, these threads are highly discouraged in this forum. I encourage those who think the OP does not deserve such flaming, please read more, you'll see that if you did, vs. threads or "which is best" threads are not allowed.
Btw, the person who posted the kernel tests thread, #1, that thread is I9100 and our I777s are different, #2, each person's I777 is different and reacts to different kernels differently, so that thread is practically useless to us.

Ok, thanks. I was going to try a couple odd ones soon, but haven't gotten around to it.
Just stick with your stock rom and run some 3rd party programs like Juice defender and SetCPU
GB - UnNamed
ICS - AOKP or CM9

Sorry OP, but your best bet is to do all the research you can before doing anything with any custom roms.
I haven't seen this question so if its floating around somewhere, my bad...but What is the BEST ROM out there right now for the Galaxy Note i717 in your opinion? I would prefer somebody answer this that has tested multiple ROMs on this device. I am currently on OnlyOne HYFR B4 but am thinking about switching it up. Even if I do NOT end up switching, I am still interested in your opinions on your ROM and why you feel it is the best! (best for you) Thank You All!

I'm getting a GS3 and giving my GS2 to my gf. While I prefer the customization options of AOKP it isn't as stable as some of the other ROMS. I want her to have a great experience with a rom that will be stable and not so buggy. I've used SHOstock2 before and found it to be quite stable. But I'd like some opinions of those that have used both SHOstock2 and SuperNexus JB. Is the JB rom very stable or a bit buggier since it's newer? What has been your experience?
Thanks in advance. ^_^

Both SHOstock2 and Task's AOKP ICS are ROCK.
I haven't tried any JB firmware yet but don't expect the "bug-free" stage. Stable? they should be.
I read the rules so I'm within my rights to post a thread like this. If the mods don't like these types of posts they can simply use this opportunity to adjust the forum rules. I have no issues with that. But I've read and double read them and I'm not violating the forum rules. Where does it say keep all opinions to yourself and don't ask or give an opinion to others?
And I'm not trying to sound rude or inconsiderate here I'm just being factual and objective regarding the subject. I very much appreciate the hard work and diligence the developers put into their projects but if rom A is buggier or less stable than rom B its not an issue of "show respect to everyone" if someone else is simply stating their own experiences with that rom. I primarily use AOKP but even on the ICS builds there have been certain apps that cause a hard freeze guaranteed that never did when running SHOstock2. It's simply a statement of fact for me based on my experiences.

All the information u need about any rom u want to flash is found in its thread. And in the Op of each thread it tells u if anything major is busted. Along with screen shots normally. There is no reason u can't look in the threads to see what if anything is wrong with the rom and if its enjoyable to use. U can also PM users that are using the rom to see what problems they may have had. So all the info u need already exists. I could flash a rom and have no problems. Everything fits perfectly. You may flash it and think it sucks. I may have apps that don't require push notifications or maybe I don't use sync options. U might. This will affect battery life. So not only is there never a reason to start a thread like this. But even if u do your experience versus mine will be drastically different based on what we use how we use it and what we install. This topic has been beaten to DEATH. Flash the rom and try it for a day. Switch if u don't like it. Is there anyone here who can tell u what you'll like better than YOU?

I AM A MOD. Did you read my post above yours?
I don't want this to become a bigger issue than it already has. This thread wouldn't have "degraded" if the unconstructive posts were just left out.
I'm obviously not getting any help with this and anyone that would have wanted to post is scared aware by the previous negative posts. I agree with Venom that if you don't like a post or a topic, and you have nothing constructive to add to the post, you are not obligated to post in it. I'm still new to the forums and I'm only here to try and learn and help others with the knowledge that I acquire through my experiences and through the information that I read here at XDA.
I love getting feedback and constructive criticism because it can help expand my knowledge and I don't flame others or try to deride them for their questions or comments. When trying to help others or when posting on their threads please be mindful that we all began somewhere. At one point we all lacked the knowledge. We gain understanding by asking questions, reading, researching, and trying things out for ourselves.
Thank you and have a good day fine gentlemen. I'm going to pick up my GS3 and void its warranty now. =)
Ive ran supernexus very smooth and stable beside a bug or two. the dev for that rom said he may possibly be releasing a newer build today. So things should be extremely stable.
I forgot what this thread was about halfway through Page one lol I thought I was in xda rules and etiquette. I'd personally give a hand-me-down with the oldest, least likely to "waste my time fixing later" software. You'll be expected to handle whatever happens to it, undoubtedly.

Best ROM/kernel threads are pointless because best is completely subjective. Same goes for battery life, your usage and mine could be completely different, ergo, what's good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander.

The post does not ask which ROM or Kernel is "better" because that is meaningless, but it is asking about user experiences with different ROMS and battery life.
I don't have time to try all the different ROMS out there, and this is why this is a forum no? Sharing experiences maybe?
Crdroid is my choice, totally worth trying
This is a developers forum. Not random talk and discussion, try to argue with people that follow the rules because they don't suit you, get mad when called out on not following the rules forum. If you read it objectively, you will see its a best kernel/ROM thread. He is asking for your combo of ROM and kernel with the battery life. That is a hidden way of asking what gives the best battery life. It will not work for every person the same. Its subjective to the user. There's nothing with a census of best. Some things work better for some and others it will be terrible. Get over it.

Asking what ROM is the best might be pointless but asking which ROM people PREFER is different.
Statistic work with the amount of answers. If one person say it prefer ROM "X", it might worth nothing. But if 10000 people say they prefer ROM "X", then it doesn't matter if people use their phone differently. ROM "X" is the most prefered ROM all around.
True that the battery life will differ from individuals because not everybody use the phone the same way but one person use his phone always the same way. I flash at least 3 ROMs a week so I can objectively compare the battery life of each ROM.
You might get different battery life depending on your use, but still you can tell which one give better battery life

I really don't see the problem. The last thread about "which is the best ROM" ended with someone proposing to make a comparison chart of the ROMs, and it was agreed(by the moderator) that it was a good idea. This thread is a comparison of the battery life between ROMs.

Since few users gave their experience,I'll talk about mine: I've tried XPower on JellyBean 4.1 and with the Galaxyh(I think that would be the name) kernel
It gave me 48h and still had 7% battery left on the phone,so it would go till maybe 60h..
It was the one that gave me more battery life in all the Rom's I've tried so far
Right now I'm on Omega Aokp v4.2 and with the Syiah kernel 1.7rc3+
Since the installation of this Rom and kernel was yesterday,I can't give some good answer about the battery life on this,because once I'm a noob I've just figured out how to turn only dual core to save some battery late night..

Here's a couple of posts from the other thread you created to remind you why ROM comparisons are not allowed.
Your first post asked about JB, this one about ICS. Two different animals. On ICS we have many great fully functioning stable ROMs it boils down to the level of bloat you want removed for you, the theming, and the amount of tweaking and optimization. The leanest one that still maintains a fully functional sense is the one I'm using the Energy ROM, however, it's dated and the dev indicated last week that he'd be updating soon. SuperAfnan has a couple of outstanding ROMs both themed and stock. The ARHD ROM was updated yesterday and is totally stock with tweaks, it's probably the closest to the stock factory ROM. Then if you can live with a few minor bugs involving Bluetooth and tethering, the Viper Amaze is one of the most heavily tweaked, optimized, and full featured ROMs for our device, and it's sense 4 not 3.6 like the rest. I hope this helps.

ROM comparison threads are not allowed. You need to test them out and find one that works for you by yourself. Please read the threads instead of asking because ROMS are subjective.
Please do not take developer work for granted.
As Odysseus1962 stated there's so l many to choose from and he has already provided you with information so please just read the ROM threads. I'll give you a hint, there's a "broken" / "not working" section on the ROM threads so you can find bugs accordingly. Ones without it are usually more-or-less problem free.
