Before you get flamed for posting in the dev forum, I will try to answer your Q...
Right now each of the GB roms are going to have their flaws and bugs. Not because of the devs creating them, but because more than likely this isn't the final GB release that we are going to see. What I would recommend is make a nandroid backup of your current setup through CWR and flash a couple different ones and see which works for you. I personally am waiting for the BAMF rom to drop as they seem to always put out really great roms. Not that the others are bad, I am just sticking to what I know and like.
As for Netflix, I have heard it only works on CM7 right now as well. I am sure it will be tweaked at a later date though. Right now the priorities are set on getting a stable rom out first with the basics running.
Hope this helps.
Not to be rude but all your questions Would be easily answered by doing very little research.

Xgo was right. You could have easily asked this in their threads as well.
BAMF + Gingerbread = #winnering, even in early alpha/beta stages. Thats what I use, FWIW.
Forgive the man for asking for actual users opinions... Hes a terrible person for doing so and should be shunned............... ok now that thats over with. I would say the BEST one is probably the actual gingerbread leak with the camera fix is probably the most stable at the moment. Since the software just came out the other day none of the ROMs are gonna really be any good. Netflix doesn't work on any of the Thunderbolt ROMs it only works on CM7 because its not based off of Thunderbolt code.
check out the GB roms listed on the official rom + kernel thread in the dev section. different roms for different preferences.

Is anyone else having problems not getting 3g with the new radio with gingerbread rom? if so what can i do to fix this?
BAMF 2.0 is the best for me. YMMV.
I've been having success with gingeritis lately. I'm really loving the 3g Lte handoffs with the GB radio too.

Mine works with Gingeritis. I flashed the rom 2x before booting and wiped probably 3 imes not including the auto wipes built into Chingy's install. My transition from LTE (orlando) to 3G (the beach) was smooth and problem free. I havent had a single reboot...
Its pretty awesome for initially being alpha.
So i bought one on Thursday and it arrived today. I just noticed that a leaked version of ICS was released just now, do you guys think I should use that? or cm9? or another ROM? Really not liking the touchwiz
I'm upgrading from a captivate which had cm7

Currently, this is the bestestest ICS ROM out right now for the "one".
http://tinyurl.com/2g9mqh
If you just got it today I would suggest you start reading guides and FAQs. When you think you have it, read it all again. Its similar to the Captivate, but different enough you can do some damage if you aren't paying attention.
That said, the leak just dropped is not ready immediately for use. There is no "best" ROM, try many of them. There are several ICS ROMs, both AOSP and TW based. They are in the dev sections.

Thanks guys, anything in special i should watch out for? that maybe the captivate didnt have?
Right now the ICS leak contains bootloaders and a stock Samsung kernel - stock Samsung ICS kernels SUCK, even the I9100 release ones.
ICS will be more polished in a few days. Since we have had kernel source for only a week - things aren't quite polished yet.

Just curious, why do stock Samsung ICS kernels suck? And how do you know that already? I was under the impression that we never had stock ICS i777 kernels until we got the leak today, so have you already looked at/tested them and compared them to your own? Just want to know the thought process
EDIT: You edited your post. I didn't know we had the stock kernel already. Still, what about it makes it so bad?
Some think else look into from that have Kay setting installed it is AMAZING what he did with the sgs2 that said have fun and do sum looking in i9100 section most of there roms are cross flashable with hell raiser...

It's brand new and shiney. Might be best to give it a workout for a week or so to make sure everything is functional and stays functional. Not like it happens alot but there are lemons out there. No sensce causing yourself the xtra grief of wondering if you killed the phone or it already had a fatal flaw.

fuel_alerted wakelock (fixed in source-built custom kernels - we fixed it 6 months ago for Gingerbread, we had to fix it again for ICS)
Instabilities if you use SetCPU (still not fixed, but fundamentally can't be fixed for a binary kernel)
Let me do my noob question here then.
My GS2 has 2 months old. On this time i've tested a few ROMs and Kernels.
I just dont know how to erase all the phone data. I just came out from a bootloop erasing the data and everything else but the folders are still there.
I did a little search but didnt find any info... also nothing on FAQs.
Sorry to use your post man
I'm a noob but i did my research. Keep on GB for a week or 2.
I do use ICScrew Rom. Work fine. Came with a good kernel and you can also flash the entropy one.
There are several others rom that work fine just choose one to get more experienced.

Sounds like a great idea, I always had trouble with 3g on the captivate, never knew if it was my fault or the phone's

I have ran probably about 6 different ROMs and the last 2 that I have ran, I swear by - took me about 3 months to finally understand the terminology, but an odexed based rom is butter smooth and runs good if the author put some time and effort into it.
My suggestion is ShiShirRom found in the Dev section or if you prefer to help "beta" test his ICS rom which is based off of the leaked AT&T S2 Rom - then give that one a try. It runs really well and I have had no issues personally.
Hah! I just got mine yesterday, and I've been playing with it. I've never had a smart phone before this, but I do have a Asus Transformer so I have experience sticking on custom roms and ****ting all over it (of course, I'm really just going through the motions outlined by the pros in that xda forum..).
Well it appears that there are only nightly builds for the i9100, but I can't see any known problems.
This is my mum's phone, and she has been telling me it's really slow so I thought going from 4.0 stock to CM10.1 4.2 would really help that, with project butter and stuff.
She uses wi-fi tethering alot, and I've seen on alot of custom roms that that doesn't work, but as I said, I didn't see any known problems for the CM10.1 nightly build. I don't want to flash her phone with something that'll make her lose functionality.
Thanks guys

Install the samsung JB leak..I would not recommend CM since it is still under development. But there are no big issues i myself use it. But since its your mom's phone its better to keep it stock.
Also there isn't Project Butter in CM.
But did you flash with a full wipe? Quite strange your mom does notice it's very slow, because there are a lot of people (understatement) who are really satisfied with the performances of CM10.1.

I've read it wrong. But with 4.0.4 I've never noticed anything slow or what so ever

Not your phone, not running stock & an 'average' user using it day to day sounds like asking for problems to me. And potentially a lot of you playing 'tech support'.
If it were me, I'd be leaving it stock.
Do a factory reset & a clean install of apps/etc if it's a bit sluggish (remember, you don't have first hand knowledge of this, just what she's told you & also remember she is an 'average' user, so it may be running just fine most of the time).
Why not Chameleon Rom?
I suggest to use this rom because it has the CM layout but its samsung base so no bugs

Hey guys,
In terms of speed and battery life, which one is a faster ROM? And for someone who has tried both, which did you prefer? I've nothing personal against Hyperdrive, but I'm just exploring options. I've gotten more comfortable with the flashing process and I'm looking for the best. And if it's not one of those two, what's the best out there for a Verizon GS4?
It's a tough call. I never tried hyper. It was the 1st rom to come out and I wanted to become more familiar with TW before flashing and by then cleanrom came out. I tried synergy. It is fast and has a couple awesome tweaks built in like all apps working with multiwindow without a separate app which is nice. I have found cleanrom to be the most stable and smooth. Your results may differ. Try them all and see what works best for you

Oh I see. I was actually looking into CleanROM earlier. I was thinking that the features were a bit short though, or is that just me? It seems like it's hiding a lot more than that!

Yeah, they are but it isn't meant to have all the latest and greatest mods. It is purposely built as a debloated stock rom with some tweaks for speed. If you want features galore, hyper is for you from what I hear.

As every phone, every user, every setup, every signal, every way of installing is different the only way YOU can find out which has better battery life and speed for YOU is if YOU try it. Just make a nandroid backup and take each for a test drive for a few days.
There can be no definitive answer for these questions.
Hello All,
I was wondering if any of you have recommendations on a Sense Based ROM for the EVO LTE? I'm holding out for the upcoming M10 and I'm currently user a ROM based off the last 4.3 update leaked from HTC, however I've noticed that many of the apps I regularly use are requiring more recent Android OS. I have tried Cyanogenmod based ROMS in the past but I prefer Sense and I haven't seen too many fully working roms based off it. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I always liked Viper, but you aren't going to find anything beyond 4.3 outside of AOSP though. Since there was never any official KitKat for this phone there's nothing to build off of. There may have been some attempt at a port that i've forgotten about but i doubt it. i was also a fan of sense to some extent, but i jumped to CM a long time ago to stay current and i think i'd have a hard time going back at this point.
actually come to think of it, for a little while there when there were some bugs to CM that i couldn't get past, i'd actually loaded up a stock/rooted 4.3 and slapped xposed overtop of it to get (almost) all the features i'd come to live by in CM.
[edit]
I take that back, i completely forgot about this fella. I think i'd tried it out early in development and maybe couldn't get it to flash/boot on my device, but it sounds like this release is working.
