At the risk of sounding hard; I find it interesting that Viper is really the only DD ROM for the DNA that isn't stock. I've been usnig Viper for a while and want to play with other ROMS.
CM has wireless (and other) issues that make it not worthy of daily use, and thus every ROM that is based on it will and does have those inherent issues. So CM and its variants are out.
There are a few other ROMs out there like Carbon that have their share of issues as well.
So I ask: Other than Viper, which ROMs are considered by you to be daily drivers?
Daily Driver qualification: No Major Issues (camera, wifi, LTE, FC's, etc.)
I want to also thank all Devs. It's hard work, and there are gillions of issues that constantly crop up. I'm not making light of the fact that most ROMs aren't for the faint hearted, just wanting more daily driver ROMs to choose from.
And for sure, if I were as smart as you guys, I'd develop my own - but I'm not that smart. LOL

What is cynagenmod and what's so "great" about it?
Thanks!

At the time cyanogen brought a lot of features we now use everyday. Os optimizations apps to sd. Things lf that nature. It is fully opensource and open to anyone to use.
I am fascinated and captivated by the vibrant screen on my epic galaxy s.

The ability to customize the phone, the stability, the speed, the battery life, and it gives phones the the g1/dream froyo which I guess was deemed impossible. It also gives users great support and updates quite frequently.

Plus it is a large group of people that work collectively together, they along with a few others are the ones that the leading "cutting edge" devs........ they blazed the trail and now all of us and the current devs benefit from their work.
Yea. Since its built from scratch it is faster than any roms here.
The g1 roms were same speed rooted or not
When cm came it was fast! And then a rom based on cm called super d was even faster and then a european rom was fastest!
So what I'm trying to say is, CM is and will be faster than the ROMs built here overclocked or not because the ROMs found here are based on the Official Froyo made by Samsung not a Vanilla Gingerbread rom built from scratch
So I think something built frrom scratch is better than something just modified and themed

It's built from scratch using the AOSP source, which a lot of ROMs are not (many ROMs are merely modified versions of existing stock ROMs).
It has an extensive amount of customization and flexibility beyond any other ROM I've ever used on an Android device.
I don't mind the ROM I'm running on my Vibrant, but I miss CyanogenMod. Since the CM7 release candidate for the MT4G just hit, I think it's time for me to change it up a bit. I'm tired of my short-range wifi (seriously, less than full bars when I'm only six feet away from my 802.11n router?), non-functional GPS and totally wonky compass, anyway.
I think one of its advantages is the sheer size of the community, if you've ever used various Linux distributions the same concept applies. When your user base expands to the point where you've got dozens if not hundred of loyal users posting guides, reporting bugs, requesting features, and answering new user's questions the community really feeds on itself and builds momentum. Cyanogen is largely responsible for a lot of the momentum in the rom community, and I know it's brought more people to the community than almost any other project.
A lot of things.
The cyanogenmod options alone are worth it - VM Heap, swap, JIT, compcache, et cetera. Granted these things are more relevant to lower end devices. Then there's the native ADW launcher integration. I've never been about to replace the stock launcher with ADW and get the same results.
It's really just its use in practice. Everything works, the interface is very instant/responsive (no jagged animations/scrolling, ever), no force closes, lots of mods/hacks for it from the community, which in general is very scrutinous about performance/stability hangups. Battery life twice what you're use to.
They're the only ROM team I've donated to. I flashed hundreds of roms when I had my Magic (one of the hardware-weakest android phones) but CM is what kept it up to par, giving me an extra generation's life out of it.
I personally love all the features built in, like pulldown menu modifications, as well as pretty much customizing every aspect, NO roms like that exist for our Vibrants..
It is Cyan in color, and mod like the british music scene duh!
hmm... I might have to give cm7 a try once they get it working on the vibrant. They are working on it right? If the manufactures were smart, they would give a pre-release phone to those guys before it's available to the public. Of course, the carriers may not like it. I just purchased my vibrant 3 weeks ago (former iphone 4 user). I tried a few darkyy's roms, then toxic, then finally I stuck with trigger. I'm very satisfied with it - mainly b/c everything works nice and smooth.
I see I'm a bit late but yes, Trigger is awesome. I tried flashing others and I always come back after 2days tops.... For some reason, Trigger runs so much smoother than the other ROMs on my phone... And I have tried 2.2.1(Honestly I dont get the difference) and I am not a fan of the 2.3.3 because most say the GPS doesn't work and I use my GPS at work, yes through my phone(I'm cheap). Plus that is one of my reasons for buying a "smart phone" It has everything at your finger tips, or supposed to at least right. Hope your having fun.,..... BTW, CM is freaking awesome on every device I have seen it on...... I'm actually curious to know why it's not on the Vibrant as an official build but eh..... It will come when it's ready I suppose
Will it be MIUI, Cyanogenmod or something else? Share your desires and maybe devs will listen
Definately MIUI.
Using it on my EVO 3D atm, and I loooooove it!
Definitely Cognition Rom
Will be happy to see custom ROMs, but as long as they incorporate the awesome samsung features
I am only looking to put ROMs on this phone that are proven stable - and keep the features of the SGSIII intact. I don't want a phone that needs this workaround to get a feature to work.
I hope BootManager PRO works for this phone because I do like to keep several ROMs at hand at once. I really love the ICS blues and I have seen some amazing things evolve from a stock AOSP 4.0.X ROM over at the GNex forums. So we just need to wait and be amazed with the features that will be introduced to the world of Android via this phone's development section
Kernels on the other hand - this is where I am mostly concerned. We know pretty much NOTHING about the way a quad core kernel should be dealt with... These will be the main subject of my attention as we get into early development stages.
We shall see what some of our amazing developers who have proven they make kernels their bi***es can do with a new kernel. I am also interested in the kernel that Samsung has developed for it and how exactly this works in our favor here at XDA.
The main point is while most ROMs can be considered close... Kernels will be quite different and will be everyone's main focus - making our quad core beasts run with optimal battery life!

I'd like to see a CM9 hybrid\tablet mode rom with per-app dpi capabilities that comes with a free high class escort.
I will use any "rooted" rom that is stable enough .... so far we don´t know is it possible to change bootloader.
Cyanogenmod of course
Probably..... stock rom, bloatware removed (will keep all the good stuff), custom kernel and custom themes
Sent using TCP/IP
CheckRom 100% the most popular and best ever ROM for the SGSII no other ROM comes close, i still use it and have used nothing else for a long time, SGSII ICS ROM's still nowhere near as good as CheckRom although i hear CheckRom ICS will be landing shortly for the SGSII although ill be selling my phone and getting the Galaxy S3
Slim ICS, as don't see much need for all the extra stuff apart from eye tracking to keep the screen on, S-Voice functionality goes in one ear and out the other, NFC not for me, Social tagging can leave me alone, shame the screen is sub standard to the SGS2.
Still loving my SGS 1 but am due an upgrade so may as well get this, hopefully the GPS is not as ****e as the SGS is. ended up buying an iPhone 3GS just to use with TomTom.
Now if you could give me TomTom on the SGS3 then you'd be talking.
Definitely checkrom with a new kitchen. And if we can get a siyah kernel then its over!!!!!!!!

I've had the One XL since the start and have flashed every worthwhile ROM I wanted. The constant with non-sense roms has been the troubles with camera or limited integration. I find myself wondering as I wait for my new One to arrive, "will I only have a 4mp camera because htc won't release drivers for the camera?" Any insight would be appreciated, hopefully from one of the anticipating devs. Thanks!
That's a question that can't be answered until some one builds an aosp ROM for this phone. But I would really be surprised if the camera was open sourced. It's going to be hacked in I imagine.
I'm also worried about the loss of IR blasting with an AOSP ROM.
And this is pretty much why I'll be sticking to custom Sense based ROM's. HTC didn't release source for the ImageSense chip in the One X (not to my knowledge) and most of the features of the Sense 4 camera weren't present in CM builds. HTC put even more into their camera software this time around and losing all of that with an AOSP build just seems rather extreme. Will see though, maybe some dev will get crafty with the camera software.
The time I spent with the phone in the store I tried to find a reason why I would rather run an AOSP ROM on it but I was very well satisfied with the speed, smoothness, and class the One comes with out the box. I believe soon the only reason why we will flash a ROM is to play with theming only as oppose to speed and performance with what these phones are popping out the box!
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.

Yeah Sense 5 is pretty snazzy looking IMO. I think I'm gonna like it better than stock. Still want to unlock the bootloader and root though so I can flash a sound mod. Always like me some better audio!
waiting for AOSP
I'm considering picking up a developer edition GS4 to replace my GS3 but I want to make sure I'm making this decision for the right reasons. Basically I'm looking for a near-perfect AOSP experience "where it counts". That means all primary functions working 95-100%. Does the GS4 have CM builds that fit this bill?
CM on the GS3 has a couple major unfixable issues that have me considering this in the first place:
- Very quiet camcorder recording volume. Didn't think it was a big deal til one of those rare moment experiences took place and I tried to capture it in video only to find the audio was barely audible.
- Flaky data connection in some regions. Being in certain areas would yield a poor 4G connection, often dropping to 3G. Flash back to TouchWiz and voila, strong and fast 4G in the same area.
There are a couple other issues which I don't consider to be primary functional issues like MHL not working and some Bluetooth weirdness (Google really needs to work on this) but those I'm less concerned about. I'm still curious about these things too though.
--
The GS4 seems to be the only device worthy upgrading to for my purposes. The Moto X was interesting but I kinda want a better CPU than what I have now... I'm a game emulator junkie and those push your CPU to the limit. LG G2 I'm more interested in but I really don't trust LG's software and I can't rely on the phone getting CM support or even unlocked for that matter. I highly doubt Verizon will ever see another Nexus device... GS4 DE seems to be the only choice.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to your responses

Before I got my phone replaced (and the new one got ME7 OTA), CM 10.1 was pretty stable for the last few weeks. It did have some bugs at first (with calling and Bluetooth), but those got fixed some time ago. Didn't have a chance to try the new 10.2, as I'm stuck with the ME7 bootloader = can't flash a custom recovery ;(
The AOSP camera was MUCH better than the TW one. The quality was absolutely astonishing on the AOSP.
As for MHL, didn't try it. I **think** that CM 10.1 even had a wireless display feature in the settings.

I wouldn't put too much stock in CM10.2 at this point. It seems to be pretty buggy across all devices sans nexus. Regardless my research has yielded results similar to what you're explaining. It's just difficult to sift through the respective development and Q&A threads to try and find quality info. Lots of people report issues that others aren't having - something I see commonly (but don't experience on my device) in the GS3 threads as well.
Thanks for the info!
Curious what other folks like for AOSP KK on the LG G2. Specifically, I have the Verizon variant. I've tried CM11 - though not recently - and like everyone had the well documented freezes and reboots. Most recently, I've been running Mahdi-Rom 2.5 Beta 4 and it's been pretty solid with occasional lock ups most affecting my launch (TSF Shell). Anyways, what are you running and what do you like about it? How's speed, stability and battery?
We do not allow threads which compare ROMs as developers do not like seeing their work compared to that of others.Besides everyone has their own needs and what's best for one person may not be what's best for someone else.
