Would like to make this a poll if possible...
Just curious how long do you all like to keep the Rom's on your phone for...
Do you...
[] Find something and see what sticks and wait till the next update?
[] Flash the newest thing that available?
[] Flash the one with the most replies in a thread?
[] Google and cross reference the info here with Google and then pick one and stay with it
[] Not care and do your flashes an a whim?
[] Run stock and just come here to see whats out and convince yourself to root?
I try to flash the newest thing available and mess with it before returning to what's tried and true like ShoStock.
*If any mod see's this please be kind and turn it into a poll. Thanks*
with the captivate, I found myself flashing something every couple days because it was very slow and unreliable. With this phone, its so fast and reliable that I generally stick with what I have until the next update. But occasionally, I'll get the itch to flash something different so that happens once in a while, too.
I've tried all the ROMS to see which one I like best. Once I find the one that works for me that becomes my default as a nandroid backup.
If a new ROM comes out and it's stable then i try it and see how good it is. Same with Kernels
See my current config on my sig below
[X] Flash the one with the most replies in a thread?
That's what I did the first time.
Just sticking it out now and waiting for something different, I really just want a theme selection that's what I get bored of.

Yea more themes would be nice... wish android had a winterboard app like how they've got on the iphone. it makes the whole themeing thing much easier.

I miss that like crazy, but iOS is one version while we have thousands of roms and phones.
There is some universal themes in the i9100 section, it was posted somewhere here but not everything worked correctly.
Still running manually debloated Hellraised VillainROM 3. I usually only flash other stuff to confirm/reproduce bugs with said other stuff.
I, of course, am flashing kernels all the time, most of which never go beyond my phone. Less often lately as I try to come up with test cases for the regression I'm hunting.

That's not a bad idea ;-)
I'm a flashaholic, so i needed something to satisfy my addiction if i didn't feel like diving into all the i9100 stuff all the time. i think i have unnamed, sensation and miui (which I'm currently rocking) in nandroids
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
I did some research, flashed two ported i9100 (ICScrewed and ICSD out) decided I didn't like ported roms, then did research and flashed Unnamed, and that's where I am now.
I used to be a flashing addict, but I've recovered. I want my device to Just ****ing Work™. Downtime=bad.
I think I flash way to much I have 3 sd cards.one for hellrasie Tom's one for cm7/miui based and another for i777 roms.I normally try each update of a rom and I always make backups.I do agree with you guys it would be nice to have like a winterboard or like cydia for android.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I used to flash a lot. I finally figured most stock roms are more or less the same. I keep them in nandroid the ones I like.
I like the looks of miui but its a battery hog; however I come back to it every now and then.
I'm impatiently waiting for the ICS.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I typically find something that works the best and stick with it. And anytime it's updated, check out what's added, then manually implement what I want from it. I also keep an eye on other roms' updates and implement some of those features as well.
i too have flashed almost every rom avail. and every single one thats gingerbread based is freakin too alike. a few theme changes here and there but still seems like all the same ****. so i stopped flashing. cm7 was good for awhile until i found miui. love the looks and different themes are endless. phone flies as well. been rockin miui for months and its rock solid. now if cm9/ics would show up... feeling the itch coming on to flash.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I try to flash something new at least once a week but I always go back to SHOstock. Its definitely my favorite so far. I usually read a little about the from and if it sounds decent ill flash it and I don't like it I just restore from my nandroid backup and all is well.

It's international so you'll have to hellraise it. Works so good. Seems to be on par with Villian for battery life, and that's saying alot.
As to flashing, I usually change roms once every 2 to 3 weeks. It takes a notable feature to get me to jump. Seems about every 2 to 3 weeks that happens

Your link is busted sir. Also could someone post a link to hellraiser? all of them in the official thread re down since multiupload tanked. Plz and thank you.
I'm on stock unrooted and I just want a rooted, hassle-free experience. So which rom right now has the least known complications? Just a quick look at the development section makes me think it might be the Unofficial Rom.
Any recommendations?
I'm pretty happy with the alpha 2 from DAGr8. His third version gave me too many problems. The other roms' forums seem full of problems with the store or messages...I guess just try a few. If you nandroid where you are now switch back shouldn't be too hard

There aren't many at the moment. I would suggest staying stock with some tweaks until our phone becomes more widespread(it's still new)
I just flashed theunofficial and so far it hasn't given me any problems.
Sent from my Galaxy Note
I would give unofficial a try. It is by far the most stable custom rom I have ever used. It has never frozen, given me FCs, or had weird random issues. So basically it works flawlessly and this is the first custom rom I can honestly say that about.

I also must jump on the Unofficial bandwagon as it is "very" stable. I was on Solaris for a while but it seems to be out of the picture for now. But if you want a hassle-free experience, go for the Unofficial.
Another for "The Unofficial". Great ROM, very stable and smooth.
Dag_8 Alpha II is the best ICS out so far. It's currently my daily driver.
Alpha III caused SMS issues and other FCs.
If playing4sheezy comes out with Beta 2 for NOTEWorthy then I'll be switching to it, because it is the smoothest, cleanest, ICS out yet...
A Question
I have a question for the folks using alpha II, what do you like about it over Alpha I? I keep comming back to Alpha I because it is the most stable for me.

so i rooted my phone with UCLE5 and put the Siyah v343 kernel. but now what? i spent the last 2 days researching to successfully do this for speed improvements and what not. but i dont really see any differences in speed, or any differences at all. any suggestions on what i can do now because my phone looks the exact same way as it did before the root or what did you guys do after a root to make it seem like i actually rooted the phone.

If you dial *6969# naked girls come to where you are..... You need to flash a CUSTOM ROM you're on a stock ICS ROM you need to read a lot more go to the DEV section those are all custom ROMS.... For an instant change go to the play store and install Apex launcher.

If you're on stock ics (the official release) and someone told u there are speed improvements they lied. Any custom rom easily blows stock out of the water. Stock ( even when rooted) is basically for people who want to play it safe and for things to just work. If u want customization and speed ur best bet is an AOSP based rom. Good luck. Happy flashing.

I basically looking for a great stock gingerbread rom, or a stable ICS ROM that can provide me with the original stability and functionality this phone once provided. Suggestions? I am currently using the 3.0.35-siyah v3.4.2 nomswap+ktoonsez kernel.

If you're looking to replace stock gingerbread, then as 122ninjas said I would recommend going with ShoStock2. It's my daily driver. If you go with AOKP or another AOSP type ROM, You'll have to find substitutes for all the touchwiz -based applications that you're used to.

I could say the same thing for PhoneBricker even though it is no longer supported. Point is, as you know ninja, ROMS and kernels play differently on each phone. Also, each gives a unique user experience.
OP, flashing correctly takes about 10-15 minutes not including download time. So, not having time doesn't work as a reason. Not being rude. It's easy to do while you're:
Taking shower

Nice, Ill give shostock a go today. Gotta admit, the AOKP Jb stuff looks awesome with all the customizable options, but I feel with more bells and whistles comes more issues. I assume JB ROMS aren't going to be as stable.

No offense taken! I think my trepidation comes more from my experience with this phone....I did that official ICS update and it ruined my phone. Got a new one, and a ton of bugs made me frustrated. I finally did the root (which was stupid easy....like...really easy.) so I have a bit of confidence now.

Once you start flashing stuff with CWM the deepest trouble I have been in is needing a factory reset. But if you are really scared then go ahead and download all the return to stock + root files and mobile odin and stuff. I just did that in case of emergencies.

Takes that long for the ROM to flash. Then add kernel cleaner and Gapps. Then reboot + re-optimization... Taking closer to 10 minutes. Add a few more minutes and you've got a great estimate of 10-15. EVERYONE has 10-15 minutes in their day to flash a ROM considering it's hands off once you press "go". See my examples.
The post above this has a great tip for anyone who wants to be prepared for the worst.

I am interested in trying out CM10.1 stable, but want to see if others have some feedback to share with the rest of us.
Some questions :
- Is it really "stable"? Any reboots?
- Any feature not working (bluetooth, tethering, etc...)
- Battery life?
- Compatibility with different custom kernels?
- Any issues with network (LTE/4G)?
Thank you in advance.

Still reboots
I don't use bluetooth nor therering
Only ran it for 24 hrs so I can't help you with battery cause you need to give it about a week or so before you can actually see how battery performs.
I use this kernel with no issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326786
I din't notice any LTE/4G issue
Reboots for me too. Its like twice in past 48 hrs and it was random. Not too bad. A reboot to startup is only about 20 seconds.

Been running it since it dropped. I have had a couple of reboots. I have had some screen flickering. Tethering works. LTE= 28.05Mbps/Down & 12.26Mbps Up in Jackson MS
Out of all the roms I have tried I like it the best so far.

6/26 nightly seems more stable.
The "Enable keys notifications" (also known as BLN) does not work. It worked in 10.0.
On the positive side, they've added this feature called, "Ask for reminder snooze delay" which allows you to set the reminder time to something different than the default 5min (I just noticed this feature; not sure if it's totally brand new). I remember this feature was available on the Palm OS ten years ago and since then I haven't seen it on any mobile OS (not sure if BB had it) until now.

BLN was taken out. If you want BLN you might want to try a different kernel.

Thanks, I know...I learned the hardway on another post
Same here with the reboots. It does get annoying but whatever. I might end up going back to Samsungs JB.
Anyways. Battery isn't so bad either. But I'm on a brand new battery finally after a year with the phone.

A friend of mine is going to work on CM10. Now that we have SGH-I717 source I'm sure it will be stable as CM9 with 0 reboots.
On latest root box with no reboots yet ..been over 12hrs

You'll get them. Go to YouTube and try watching a video, that's where it usually happens for me on any 4.2.2 Rom.
I'm running FJ's ICS AOSP Rom for the past 7 day with no issues. No reboots no matter what I throw at it.
Nope YouTube is fine for me ...ill probably get one eventually

But try to get the one with default jb kernel. No OC kernel. The oc kernel has some bugs and the dev is working fixing.

roms are like women, treat them right and they treat you right
and youtube is def not an issue, thats probably my most used app
but as i said on my other post a bit ago, everyones phone is different, and everyones phone use is different so we cant expect everyone to have the same results
this is why having the choice to flash anything and everything you want and finding what works best for you, makes android so desirable
Right on. Yeah when I Need a flash fix I'll consider it
