Legendary is what I am using on both my Epics and its been super stable once it got out of beta. And god with over clocking options. and the DEVS are always there (daily) to answer questions.
I did some testing of ACS ICS, Legendary ERA, Sleeper, ThunderHawk, Starsky, and CleanGB. I completely wiped my phone between each install. Then I used quadrant to test each. I know some people say that Quadrant results don't mean anything but I figure if I'm using it on the same phone and testing in the same way it should be good for comparing ROMs on my particular phone. Anyway, I ran three benchmarks rebooting between each run. Here are the averages.
Sleeper 1151.3
Clean GB 16 1369
ThunderHawk 3.2 2015
ACS ICS 2218.7
Starsky 1.5 2335
ERA RC 2.1 2495.7
I don't know if that helps you or not but I hope it does. BTW, I haven't had any stability problems with any of these ROMS.
Quadrant doesnt mean anything because some roms have tweaks that make quadrant higher and not real performance.

I'm running the Legendary 2.1 and I must say, it is really really snappy. I just did update the kernel to the 2.0.8 Samurai and it seems to have gotten even better. WAY faster than stock GB and significantly faster than SRF 1.2 that I was on for awhile.
Did some more testing, this time with Smartbench 2011. Here is a chart that summarizes the data from my tests. Like before I wiped everything 3x, loaded the ROM, installed Smartbench 2011, ran 3 tests rebooting in between each. I then took an average of the scores and used them in the chart.
i have been keeping my backup of sleeper rom v1.0.07a because it seems to be the most stable and fastest. i don't get the stability out of the last updates. legendary rc2.1 was also good but i did get some fc issues i don't see out of sleeper rom
Thanks Johnknall for all the awesome testing you did. Very informative. I have recently become a very big fan of ACS ICS 5.5 ROM with the Samurai kernels. Very fast, very stable, and nice battery life.

I've been going through legendary 2.1, ACS ICS (various versions), marcusant revival, and yesterday I just installed SleeperRom 1.0.0.9.
I have to say that I really liked ACS ICS around 5.0 and 5.1, then I think he switched to samurai kernel in 5.5, and it just wasn't smooth for me anymore. but 5.0 and 5.1 did not have the camera mod that I liked.
The revival seems to run pretty smooth, but the battery life was not nearly as good as I got on ACS ICS and that's probably because of the lockscreen mods. I think Marcusant posted a mod to remove the lockscreen mod. Maybe I'll try that again, but the red theming didn't really grow on me enough, and flashing themes seems sloppy in my opinion.
Anyway, I'm really liking sleeperrom 1.0.0.9. Great battery life. Smooth performance, and it just feels nice and snappy.
I want to give props to SenseiSimple for a great rom, and also Marcusant because I really liked ACS ICS too, but it just never felt finished to me.

Hey I was wanting to knw what could I do to speed up my Inc. I am currently running redemption 2.3 with overclocked kernel. It overclocked to 1.113. Or if someone has any other suggestions of roms and kernels it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

try re engineered z rom, its smokin fast with no oc
Ok I will. Does re–engineered z roms have custom mods u can add on to it. I am big in moding the title bar and the over all look of everything. Lol.
Dinc
Oh which version to get for the re engineered roms.
Dinc
Reengineered, ziggys latest w/ cfs and havs, adw launcher, desensed. Enough said!
I didn't like Incredibly Re-engineered Z. It was bloated with crap I didn't want and was stupid-quirky about swapping kernels. Straight Incredibly Re-engineered version 2.3.1 is my preference. It's not *****y about kernels, has an unthrottling mod, has a bunch on themes that won't break the optimizations, all kinds of other appearance mods both flashable and metamorph. I've got that version, running the cyan 4x5 theme, unthrottled, with Ziggy's 031811 beta kernel oc'd to 1153MHz. Runs like a raped ape. Totally love it.

Incredibly Re-Engineered is a great Rom, but the no MMS over wifi was a killer for me. Magnolia is 100% DInc framework, so there are no EVO/Z port quirks and is very peppy, drop a Ziggy or HIL kernel and your good to go. There isn't a whole lot of theming, but there is some, and both the themer and dev are very responsive and helpful when it comes to one-off modding

Run Cyanogen 7 with a stock kernel (overclock if you want but it does not do much) and you will notice the difference. From what I have seen, most of the Z-Roms are slow and full of bugs.
Cyanogen also scored quite a bit higher on Quadrant and Smartbench benchmarks.
I agree CM7(gingerbread) will improve your overall speed of the phone.
CM7 did some work for my phone. I recommend it.

If you want to keep the Sense UI - some prefer it, myself included, I'm a "bells and whistles" guy, try SkyRaider 3.5, it will not disappoint you, is smooth as butter fast, and has not once given me any ****. I am going to flash CM7 tonight to see whats new with it and how it runs but historically (IMO!) it is a tad too plain Jane for me.
I was a "Sense" guy till I went to CM7, now I've been converted. Almost every widget Sense brings to the table there is a similar and as polished replacement. So far I haven't found a single thing that I miss from Sense with my current CM7 setup. I actually went back to Z ROM a couple days ago because I thought I missed sense then I realized how much faster CM7 really was. I might go back to Sense once there is a stable GingerSense available if there is a performance increase but till them I'm all about CM7, its also worth noting that my battery life is nearly double with CM7 compared to other Sense ROMs I've ran using a the same sync profiles on each of them.
Honestly, I'm going to recommend Warm 2.2. I'm running it with the Ziggy 12/19/10 that is included, UNDERclocked to 806MHz. It's still smooth as silk and lasts forever on battery.
I'm using Inc. Rom 1.5 Beta 2, and it is smoking fast (and has Sense)
Generally Sense is additional overhead, so any ROM that doesn't use it, has the potential to be fast.
I run Redemption 2.4 with the last Sense Incredikernel. So far im impressed with the smartass scaling and Ive underclocked to 883mhz (although i have the option to overclock for more speed) and ive noticed no slowdown. Not to mention Redemption is the most rock solid rom ive used so far. Im not a big theme-ing guy, im more about optimization, so maybe another RR fan can speak on that.

Agreed. Even with the rare reboot stock EG22 is smoother and has better battery life than any Froyo ROM. I'm looking forward to the next leak this weekend.

I honestly don't even see a performance increase with non-stock kernels.
I really wish we had a fully functional CM7 though.
As I stated in the other two threads, I am running Random Rom Osprey and it has been nearly flawless. It does have a RAM leak that causes the phone to reboot every once in awhile, so I recommend journaling on, but very smooth, there is no rotation lag. And GPS works.
I've tried midNight 6 - EE03, Bamboozle 1.1 EF02, Go Green EG22 and now RandomROM Osprey
to be honest the one i've thought had the best bang was/is bamboozle w/journaling on ... its WAY fast and the theme marcus did is really nice.
I like this RandomROM a lot, I left bamboozle to see if it was the EF02 rom that was causing the cell stand by eating the battery, it isn't. EG22 does it just as much.
RandomROM is good and has a really nice theme, it isn't quite as fast as Bamboozle.
go Green was fast, though the theme was still being tweaked. Which made it a bit hard to use at times. I'm sure once the theme is done it'll rock. for some reason no theme I tried to flash over it would work. most likely operator error.
I might jump back to bamboozle until GB release, hope in a few weeks. it is just crazy fast. I am interested to see what Random has been cooking up for his next update. Nice to have options !!
These Devs ROCK !!!
I see better battery life with Random then I did with Bamboozle. Random seems to run TW4.5 better too. I don't think you can go wrong with either one, but I think I would give the themeing nod to Bamboozle. I just like the fact that Random is EG22.

Not to sound like a prick or anything, but you have to consider that you are posting in a very opinionated forum, with a very broad question. That being said, I also believe everyone is entitled to said opinion SO....
I have to go with Calkulins Rom. I have yet to find a more stable Rom, and I check frequently. Couple that with Overstews ICS theme and you have a match made in Android heaven. Hope this helps.

Maddoggin's rom is great and very stable. There are a few themes out for it, two of which are linked in the OP for the thread.

However, if you want an overwhelming support for themes then mijjah has you covered with his rom and the themes he ports and improves upon. It's also stable for me though others report issues.

Blazer ROM. No doubt about it.
Have used it since v1.2, and current v3.7 has not disappointed me at all.
Caulks, 80% of roms are based on his.
I am currently on Blazer Rom, HAven't tried any others but love the ics look
Calkulin's rom is the base for so many other roms. Calkulins all the way
Seems like this is a pretty common question in the Q & A. And almost always, Calk's is at the top of the list.
If you prefer Odex and don't mind a very blue theme then you certainly want to try StrongSteve's ROM.
I 'm loving the Blazer ROM (ver. 3.7) so far. Stable snappy, great battery life and a cool ICS theme.

I haven't flashed every single rom out there. I was using stock + rooted only for the first few months.. and definitely nothing wrong with that if that's your thing. Just get rid of the bloatware and you should get decent battery life.
Having said that, I'm on BlazerROM 3.7 and my wife is on Calks 2.8.1 ROM. Just flashed both our phones last weekend. We're both happy with them so far and have no problems with GPS issues, hot reboots, freezes, ect. We seem to get about the same battery life too.. maybe my wife's is a little better since she's under volted a bit.
I would say nandroid and flash away until you find something you like. Its not hard to do and flashing doesn't take too long. You'll probably take longer downloading the ROM's themselves.. lol. But for themes, Blend ROM seems to have a lot of support
Can't really say better/best as I've only run 1 rom since about 3 days after I got this phone... calk's. I've since added steadyhawkin's gunslinger kernel, and overstew's ics theme, and have nothing but good to say about any of it. Fast, stable, great battery life, and I love that he keeps the rom pretty close to stock so you can dress it up the way _you_ want (which is helped by the fact it seems most themes/mods support it) or stay with a pretty stock/tw look if that's your thing.
Again, nothing bad to say about other roms, or even to say that this rom is better -- it's just the 1st I tried, and it's done everything I want so I've never felt the need to even try anything else (as of yet -- looking like that *might* be getting close to changing but that's a WHOLE other story ).
I'm using ICS Passion on my vibrant, nice stock 4.0 feel.

I'm going to have to go with Blazer 3.7. I found myself on Calkulin's for a while but I got better battery life with Blazer 3.7. I really like Phamtom's theme work with 3.7. Everything looks nice, runs smooth, and I like the toggle set up more than any other ROM or mod. I haven't quit trying different ROMs, mods, and themes, I just always seem to end up on Stock Blazer 3.7 because it's so "perfect" in my opinion.

Best Battery award I would have to give it to Calkulin's 2.8.1 - The Con is that I was having problems with deep freezes every couple days where I would have to reboot my phone and I would notice a little lag when opening the app drawer for the first few seconds. The freezing was most likely due to the undervolt and Haven't tried the other optional undervolts he has posted yet to remedy the Issue.
Best visuals I would have to give it to StrongSteve's ROM. That blue is straight eye candy!!! The con is that it was giving me worse battery life than I was use to on Calkulin's, but nothing really to complain about honestly. And I like how the keyboards was the swype with the dragon go option by default.
Best Rom so far award goes to Phantom Blazer in my book. This Rom ran the smoothest out of the three for me and battery life is very closely compared to Calkulin's 2.8.1 so far and looks very nice. My only request is that his swype keyboard had dragon go.
I'm a fan of UnNamed Rom.
Stable, fast, and long battery life.

I haven't flashed in months and never tried flashing any ICS roms yet because from what i read so far that ICS is nowhere near as smooth as Gingerbread roms. Of course it been about about 4 months sense my last flash.
Can ya bring me up to speed on these new roms,is ICS as smooth and bug free as Blazer 4.0 GB,what doesn't work in MIUI and CM9,or should i just reflash Blazer 4.0 for smooth/bug free rom?
I need to reflash because my son dipped my phone in toilet today and power button doesn't work except to turn on the phone,so im starting to think that its software related,hopefully flash will fix it.
Oh,i used that app that tells me if my Epic is in ICS Brick danger,the app says it is,are the chances great for it to get bricked with ICS rom if i flash it right?
Thanks in advance.

I can give you my opinion- I ran blazer 4.0 and 4.1- flawless roms- besides smooth, fast and efficient. I tried the Blue Kuban- had no mms, no internet and force closes. So in my opinion- still in beta mode- not yet polished. I tried blazer ics- no problems- except had no boot to recovery- and no theming yet- so- I would say- blazer ics is more stable than blue k. but
not as intricate- bricking will come only if you dont follow flashing directions- c a r e f u l l y. read- read- and read again-
watch video ( thnx to qb king 77 ) and in no way do I mean to offend any developer whatsoever- I have much respect for the tough and creative jobs they do ! But I went back to 4.1 blazer- for now...
im also wondering this! can someone comments on battery life of aokp and is it compiled from source.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Super Galaxy rom yet. It's very stable and has great features.
Also, running any aokp/aosp roms will have small glitches and qwerks to them. As long as you can deal with the small things, aokp/aosp can be the best rom. My suggestion is to run something else until Samsung releases source to build aokp...

I've been running Blu Kuban since it dropped and I've had nothing but smooth sailing. It's an amazing ROM with incredible development support. You can keep it as simple as you like or customize it to your taste.
All ICS ROMs are basically beta because we don't have source, yet. But there are more than a few fantastic ICS ROMs out there that are very suitable for use as a daily.
Just read through the Development section and try out a few, that's the best way to know what works best for you.
Tnz Blend rom has probably the best battery life. But in terms of smoothness, nothing can top blazer. IMO

We had this debate before on here,as far as i remember the verdict was that Blazer is more cleaner with fewer mods making it more stable,while Calcun's has more mods.
I went with blazer because i like my roms light weight,with not to many added scripts and bug free.I been running it for about 4 months and Blazer had me forget about flashing intill stable ICS is released.

I think HTC and OG Epic roms are more how should i say it-internally modded/coded.
Blazer and other roms are better than stock because devs have removed Carrier IQ spyware and alot of other junk and made a few mods to them,so they are definetly better and have better battery life.

Parnoid Android 1.5 gets my vote. Tablet mode is really sweet. I flashed it a couple weeks ago and haven't noticed any bugs at all.
Ok,i think ICS is stable enough now to try.
Would it be safe to say that Phantom Blazer is one of the best and most stable ICS roms?
Gotta give dazednconfused's wicked sensations a try! Super fast, buttery smooth, and good battery to boot! Plus really nice theming.

Your experience will be what matters. My preference has been Agat's slightly themed/modified ROM and Blazer (going back to the best GB ROM ever - in my opinion). BluKuban has great support and loads of 'pickable' features. AOKP and CM9 are super customizable - by you I mean, you'll have to figure out how you want it.
If you take the time and read through the stickies AND followup posts you should be good to go.
Flash a few. Try a new one every other day or so; I did. I'm a stickler for the basics working first (making calls, email, sms, mms, GPS and calendars) then adding the bells whistles and tweaks as a secondary but nice thing.
Blu Kuban is definitely the top dawg at the moment, although the new ICS Blazer probably comes pretty close.

Swagged out stock is a clean fast Sense 1.0 rom that i've been using for months. There's a lot you can customize so you can get some better battery life. In general, the stock battery is what it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258932
I like any of the sense 1.0 roms for quickness, battery and responsiveness. Classic rom, Digital Karma, Nitrous. U use Set CPU and make a profile for screen off. Use power save governor if kernel allows so while locked it will only run at lowest speed. This is helpful on any from though. Hope this helps.
I feel more like I do now then I did then.
I've been jumping back in and forth with JMZ's CM9 ROM and Cyanogenmod's CM7. I never had a Sense phone, so this was my first. After being with the OG Samsung Moment for about 3 years, until the developers fled, I was so used the classic UI. When I was introduced to Sense, I never stuck on to me. Luckily, I barely got this phone this year, meaning most CM7 ROMs were stable with ICS at hand. If you a Sense guy, I would recommend the Classic ROM or the Nitrous ROM. Nitrous gives more of the original Sense experience, but the Classic ROM gives really impressive battery life. It has a lot of available tweaks to play with. My ONLY problem with the ROM is the boot sound LMAO. I never thought i could hear my phone be that loud.
I, too, am running jmz unofficial cm9, & it's great for me but maybe not for her. The issue with battery life, however, is not the ROM; it's more likely the screen & radios that are killing it. My solution has been two-part: using Juice Defender to customize data activity, & larger aftermarket batteries (ChiChiTec - Amazon).
ive been using most of decks roms lately, but if i had to choose a reliable rom it would be synergy. its a little outdated but everything works.
