I have a friend who has an epic. He asked me to mod it. I have the Vibrant and other GSM phones, So I really need some input on which of the Rom out there are the Best performers/ most stable and any other thoughts you might have. Also, a question There are no DL kernel roms for the Epic yet?, and if not, you have the latest December release modems ?
Go ahead and give your fav-rom a review !!
Thanks you in advance for your input

Since i posted first It would be logical to refer to the other posting as a redundant posting
I would prefer some specifics comparing how one works vs other.....

DK28 is the newest stuff we have. Nothing from December. :-(
I prefer Bonsai4All with ext4. You can do Bonsai4All (and many of the other ext4 roms) without switching the file system, too, if you don't want to mess with that.
I'd also recommend Bonsai4all. Great improvements everywhere.
Can people put screenshots thanks

Seriously? Go to the dev section, click on any rom thread and there will most likely be screenshots for you there.

Because it isn't finished yet. Video playing and recording are broken, while the camera doesn't have full functionality yet. Plus, it's still prebeta, although it's been pretty stable for me.
I suspect if the user is asking this question, they want something stable and are unwilling to take the time to try to see what's their personal favourite.
I recommend Bonsai4All and NebulaROM. They have been the most stable, have given me the best battery life, and the least amount of issues.
Video playing and the camera do work. Just no video recording. Honestly can't remember the last time I took a video though.
I don't know, good enough for my daily driver. I guess the little things may be more important to others though.
I like bonsai and quantum. Both are good.

stability wise:
Dl18 roms
1. Baked snacks 1.6 undisputed
2. Andromeda Galaxy 1.1.1a
3. Syndicate Rom
2 a 3 can be swapped
The dk28 froyo leak has bugs you might not want to deal with like if you dont flash the modem, lock gps, then flash dk28 the gps doesnt work... when you call ppl often you hear nothing unless you turn on/off speaker phone real quick.. and other crap thats not really worth the added flash support (youtube app still works on the dl18 roms just webpage flash videos dont)
But if you -really- want a dk28 rom i'd go with Bonsai4All themed. Its sexy. If you don't feel like dealing with EXT4 or CWM3 then epic experience is nice too.
Its funny how BThomas can lol at my post,but cant beat any of the scores Ive posted...Im down for a challenge...to BThomas,I know you know these ROMs all have the sae guts,but I use some on the edge stuff that just works in my ROM to provide the best speed and battery life.

Hi...some questions about roms. There seems to be 3 main/best/popular roms for and E4GT. Starburst, Blazer and Calkulin...if I'm wrong tell me please.
1.) I have not found a way to really tell them apart especially as a new guy. What are the major differences.
2.) If I'm not gaming and simply am looking for best user experience speed which one is the best. I know quadrant tests don't really tell the whole story.
3.) I have CyanogenMod on my Touchpad and really like the customization on it like setting up what volume based on time. Does any one of these offer that option or additional options. I noticed that Blazer has CyanogenMod Libs I don't know what that is but that maybe what i'm looking for.
Thanks for the help.
Honestly the best thing to do us flash them and see what one you like the best. That is part of the joy of android.
I have tried both of phantoms ROMs and I like Blazers the best. Naerok one is awesome too.
Once we get cm on this phone we will see a lot more options in my opinion.
Hope that helps!

To be honest, all the Roms are fast and none will show any lag because the device itself is that good. You will not be able to notice any one Rom opening an app quicker then another. They will all lay games just as equal.
Right now I am using Calk's rom but it doesn't mean one is better then the other. I also believe Viper is working on an updated Rom based on his twitter post yesterday.

I've had the Sprint HTC Hero with CyanogenMod on it for quite some time. Whenever people in the sprint store saw that I was rocking Gingerbread, they were like "How the heck did you get it?!" Ha.
Well let's hear what you are using and why.
For me I'm loving AOKP its seriously amazing. I like to have lots of tweaks/mods.

Loving AOPK! Best features, stability, speed (even on stock kernel)...
Bugless beast. Reminds me alot of enomthers n1 roms. Not alot of bells n whistles but extremely rock solid/stable and amazing battery life.
Personally not looking for endeless mods although that can be fun. I just wanted a rom that does everthing i need it to do well, and that i dont have to have the phone constantly connected to a power source.
Honestly, from the title of this thread i would assume the OP was talking about the different Galaxy phones on different providers? and not custom roms on the Galaxy Nexus? Maybe he could chime in an clarify this
Is it just me or is there one of these "what's the best" threads created daily?
good day.
hands down the best rom out there is Liquid on rootzwiki no question!!!!!! It does everything every other rom does plus more.
aokp + franco
I'm using FoxHound ROM. Good performance, nice custom features and a nice black theme...

Daily? Hourly.
People can't be bothered to use their intuition, or the search engine.
Okay just so everyone doesn't think i'm crazy from my post earlier.....the original thread title was ( What do you think is the best galaxy from and why?) till the OP edited it!

Probably, Minutely
I wish it was minutely.
Long 'u' btw.
I think people missed the point of this thread. I see people asking what is the best from all the time. What I wanted to know is why people decided to choose the rom they are currently using.
Is it because you wanted a ton of features, do you want to keep to the stock experience as much as possible, etc etc.
The question was, "What do YOU think is the best rom and why?" It wasnt, "Tell me what the best rom is because I can't find out for myself?"

The best ROM out there is the one YOU want because of what features it has to offer. Go read all the ROM threads and take a look at the features, screenshots, user feedback.
You don't need a special thread for yourself for people to tell YOU what's the best ROM. There is no absolute answer to that question. It's like saying what is the best car out there? the best car is simply the one that fulfills your needs.
This goes for kernels as well and there are 50 other threads with this same question. Use the search feature and read existing threads.
Stock rom on gsm model is the best
Why? Using 2000 mAH battery, I could get 3 and a half hour screen on time with more rhan 3 days stand by. Or almost 6 hours screen on time with 2 days stand by

Totally agree
Gotta atleast try AOKP. Customization, battery life, extra features and runs smoooth. Although every phone is different you might just want to try a couple different ones and see which one is best for your phone.
I'm looking to upgrade my dads phone. He has a custom GB ROM I already put on there months ago but since sprint finally rolling out ICS I was wondering what was best...cm9? F18 leak? He just wants ROM that is stable and has hacked hotspot.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Well if he want a stable rom with Hotspot hack i recommend getting Phantom Blazer 4.1 Rom. But if he wants ICS roms CM9 will do.
I'm running M'ICS v 1.1. stable, good battery life and has sprint hotspot.
Let's be honest here, there are probably a dozen of these threads out here and I am quite sure a few quite recently. You could get a million different answers since it all really depends on the user themselves. There is so much that goes into deciding whats best for you I never get asking others. I mean opinions are great but personal experience is the best.
If you are just going to do if for every day use then flash the stock FF18, throw a recovery on it and flash the hotspot hack in themes and apps voila! you're done!
Sorry was not trying to flame I understand what you are asking just don't think a dozen people giving you different answers helps you. All the roms in development are great but all come with a little kwirk here or there.

How about this one?
Touched by a SGSIII
I'm about 5 min away from installing it over my STOCK/ROOTED/Agat 1.1/ICS FE18
I'm looking for an ICS with great battery life and is very stable...any suggestions? I've been using StrongSteve's rock solid GB ROM, but I think it's time for me to finally make the leap to ICS.
Thanks.

Stability is one aspect, battery life is another. Best suggestion is to read through the threads of the roms that interest you and what style you like and test the battery life on it.
I personally like Wicked 1.5 and have 3 1/2 to 4 hrs on screen time. But that may not be the case for you. Based on what you run, how you run...
Browse away and give 'em a try but take head to flashing responsibly and read, read, read so you don't brick your phone.

Thanks. Yeah, I've been reading about bricking potential...it's one of the reasons I haven't updated yet.
I've tried to read through some threads of ROMs that people have said they liked, but with hundreds of pages in each (saying back to the ROM's release), it's difficult to take it all in...that's why I asked here (and tried not to start another new thread about it ;-))

I completely get it. It is alot to absorb.
There are 2 posts that I know of which are polling people about the roms in use but its all a matter of taste.
Besides the fact that some may be partial to a particular team, dev, etc.
Its just a hard question to answer.
Best solution is to try if you're willing. But there are safe kernals now and great people to give you advise if you get stuck.

Thanks...but I'm not an ICS virgin by any means...my ASUS TF tablet has been running it for a while now. Just thought it was time to take the leap for my phone finally.
I been using Team Sonic but that has not been updated in ages as well as the community has really declined in helpfulness or friendliness there so I am looking for a good alternative that is updated often and very helpful and friendly. I prefer as you can probably tell by my using Team Sonic to keep close to stock but with some nice tweaks.
In other words I prefer to keep to the Samsung Touchwiz interface. Any recommendations for a good alternative to replacing the now outdated Team Sonic Free GS3?
Awesome ROM! Plus it's getting updated tomorrow to 10.0.2 (see HERE for new features).

Experiment with different ROMs and see which suits your interests. If you want my opinion though I'd have to say the Jellybomb Domination ROM is one of the best out there. TONS of features and it keeps all your favorite Samsung features as it's based off stock TW.
