I've tried every rom so far, and Juggernaut is by far my favorite.
reasons ?
any reasons ? is it the best in battery life?
Juggernaut has more features than the others. They all run about the same for me but juggernaut is what i use. Sliding power toggles and reboot options are nice to have.

What's a sliding power toggle and the battery on beast and EB seem better.

Instead of just 5 toggles in the notification pull down there's 14 and they slide side to side

I agree Juggernaut is the best rom so far and i tried each one of them...little features like pressing the wifi toggle for 2 second takes me to wifi setting makes me think there was a lot of work put into it.

so you guys are saying juggernaut is the most useful rom, which is the best battery wise and which has the least amount of bugs or problems?

Look at the features and decide for yourself what suits you. EB and Jugg are both pretty well optimized.

BeastMOD II v1.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325997
IMO i think BeastMOD II is better
but even stock ROM from Tmo is working pretty good out of the box
i just want to remove the ugly Tmo sound and welcome/goodbye screens
Beastmod Rom: most snappy Rom, benchmarks are ok, blue theme isn't for everyone.
Juggernaut Rom: snappier than stock, awesome power menu ( option to reboot, reboot in recovery ect..), 14 toggles notification bar ( not only wifi, auto rotation ect... But also reboot, shut down, flashlight and more) pretty good benchmarks.
Eaglesblood: snappier than stock, GREAT benchmarks from my experience (for example 900+ vellamo vs 700+ anything else) EXCELLENT battery life!!!!!!!!!!
I'm currently using eaglesblood v 1.1 coming from juggernaut which I love, I just wanted to see how good the battery life is on eaglesblood after I saw all the praises that it gets for it. It's an Awesome rom, but I think the juggernaut one is the best because it offers great balance, good battery life, great additions in notification bar and power menu, removed some bloats ( this applies to all the ROMs). But it's good to try them all and see what's best for you. I'm gonna keep rocking the eagles blood for a few days then I will probably switch back to juggernaut ( they're gonna release the 2.0 version today) so yeah. F***ING AWESOME ROMS!!!!!!
I've used both Eaglesblood and Juggernaut.
I feel like the performance with either is pretty much identical with LauncherPro plus. Battery life seems to be just a taaaad better with Eaglesblood. But like barondebxl mentioned, Juggernaut has better features including the option to boot into recovery and the additional toggle settings buttons found in the notification drop down menu.
Juggernaut is my current go-to.
ok
sounds good thanks for the breakdown, but now there is all the new kernels and jugg 2.0 any thought on those?
juggernaut 2.0 is the shiznizzle along with jugs.2
bump
theres new roms anyone tried them ?
Title says it all guys

I say go Juggernaut or go stock debloated deoxed.
Tough choice there mate, i'm running slickMOD 2.4 but you really can't go wrong with either one. SlickMOD does have amazing battery life but its theme is a bit out there. I havent tries paradox but I hear its GREAT as well, nicely themed too
I have a kanged ics theme for slickMOD 2.4 if you go that route.

Paradox. It's very cool
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Paradox is far and away the best looking, digital warfare is the most functional. Since you're coming off DW, I vote paradox.
I'm currently running sickMOD v2.4 with the Phone Candy theme by appdroid. It's the first rom I flashed on to my SGII so I can't speak upon the other roms. I chose slickMOD over the others because the main factor I wanted in a rom for my personal use is longer battery life. Secondly is performance, stability, and reliability. I must say slickMOD is a definite improvement over stock. Also, the Phone Candy theme makes it looks clean & simple, very easy on the eyes. I planning on running v2.4 until there more dramatic improvements and such in later versions. So far i'm loving it!
Battery Life with less than moderate usage
Home screen with Phone Candy theme

I have run both and here is my take. Slick mod is a patchwork of a bunch of roms. Put together nicely in version 2.2. Then, when it tried to develop further it took major steps backwards. Nothing really "improved" on it. Paradox is as smooth as you can get. Battery life is just as good if you know what you are doing and you have a dedicated seasoned developer with a "team" of other devs around that will push it better and better. I am not knocking the guy that put slick together, It is of my opinion that paradox is the better rom and has better support. I hope the guy that did slick continues because we all need to start somewhere and this should be a good liftoff for him.
SlickMod 3.4 has come, very cool ....
Both are Awesome...Paradox is a little prettier. Slickmod closer to stock. Both are very smooth roms.
Its up to you man......paradox is awesome so is slick mod......
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I was running Darkside and switched to Paradox - follow the instructions and it is awesome. It looks great but the best part is how responsive it is. You can notice the difference when coming from darkside to paradox. Besides the smoothness and responsiveness the data speeds and gps lock seems snappier/faster.

Ok I have been a major lurker on xda for a while. I just created an xda profile a few days ago and made my first contribution with a hacked hulu plus app. Now I want to make a bigger contribution. In the form of a ROM. Ive got my build environment up and running smooth.
Now I dont want any donations. You wont find any donations links any where. I hack and build for fun. This community has many taliented developers. I just hope to merge what I know into real world stuff.
Now my question to the community is what do you want to see in a Rom? Features? Tweaks?

Same. It's very smooth and I like it a lot. Lmk when you get an ICS TW ROM with good battery life like EL29.
Just a fully functional ICS Stock rom that plays nice with the battery is all I can really ask for
You developers spend enormous amount of time and effort to provide to this community and it'll be absurd for people to "expect" ANYTHING. Thank you in advance for any future work you provide for the community.
Settings like AOKP with status bar changes and lockscreen changes and a theme engine would be sweet also.

As long as it's a TW Rom that would be awesome. I like TW and there's a **** ton of people that add launchers to their roms, might as well get CM or AOKP.
Again TW and fast would be nice to see. I have had bad luck with ICS, my phone always hangs for some reason on all leaks.
Thanks in advance.
an aosp ics rom with every single customization option imported from aokp, codename, gummy, slim, and cm9. if you can get that with flawless mms, camera/camcorder, great battery life, with no service or data loss, and properly working sdcard, then you'll have yourself the best aosp rom available hands down.
This may be asking a lot, but i would love to see some of the tweaks for this ROM added. It may be kernel tweaks so i dont know if it is possible. My Mother's phone is running it and after 2 days she still has 50% battery.

Honestly, would just like to see what you come up with. It can be TW based, aokp, cm9.... either way, there is going to be someone not pleased with your work. I think you should just pick and choose what you like, put it together, and the community will love you for it. I myself do prefer a nice lock screen mod (like maddoggin and the new aosp mod). The launcher I could give two s#*T's about, as long as it runs smooth. The best of luck to you. Hope to see some good things in the future.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
A touch wiz ROM with mods like AOKP (status bar notification and lockscreen mods ) and behaves like AOKP, the reason behind it being a touchwiz ROM is because the little touchwiz touches are nice( video player, working led, HW accelerated UI and browser and etc) ,putting other UI's might just cause problems (battery and lag). Yet I can only dream!! Just an idea. If this is even possible.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
My opinion is to offer options.
Help swamp goblin port sense 4.0.
Help maintain and update MIUI if needed.
Port over motoblur (just so peeps can try it)
Help tcp if needed with aokp or cma or gummy.
Etc. Etc. The more options we have, the happier everyone will be.
While not a rom, how about porting the cm9 reloaded mod to our phone. The systemUI of the mod needs to be merged with ours to get the 4g toggle and other stuff working. I would do it, but time isn't something I have at the moment.

Does anyone else still really really love their gingerbread setup? Don't get me wrong i looooove ICS, but i was running Blazer 4.1, Rogue Gunslinger Kernel, and the Mr. Softee theme, and it was in my opinion the best setup my phone has ever had, and i think it was just as snappy and smooth as ICS.
If someone could port the lockscreen mod that is in Mr, Smoothies to TW ICS i think that would put me on ICS for good.
Just wondering if anyone else felt the same way
Dude we had dev's sitting around bored for months.
They sure did hash out some wicked **** in that timeframe.

I've been on Calkulins EGT.ROM from the get go and I loved that he was always on top of his ROM. Now that he has bailed this ROM has gotten old and outdated. I want some suggestions on what Rom I should jump to next. Right now I'm on Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 EL29 using modem FB21. Last few weeks I've been trying out different modems but none seem to work out for me. I'm in Central California if that makes a difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also if this still is the best ROM available can you tell me what modem is working the best for you? I've tried so many I forgot which one was giving me the best battery life and connection.
Stay on whatever modem works best for you man, it varies area to area phone to phone.... insofar as roms I'm loving sbrissens aosp jelly bean, which is extremely stable for an alpha and a great daily driver... should you want something that's 100% more or less though I'd look into either blue Kuban or goodness, both of which are ics touchwiz based like caulks ROM...

GPS is what it is and its just a matter of trying different modems till you figure out what works best for you... insofar as battery how old is your phone? Might be time for a new one, does it spin freely when you set it on a flat surface? And that being the case I would for sure just go with blue kuban or goodness those are probably the most stable easiest ICS ROMs we have...

Have you looked at CynogenMod10 (CM10)? I highly recommend it. It is in Alpha 5.1 right now and I haven't had ANY issues with coverage. It's super smooth, and it's jellybean.

There is a stock rooted FH13 floating around that is nice, very normal/basic ICS. I just don't use TW.
+1 for CM10 (I also jumped from Calk's ROMs). It's very smooth and very stable as of v5.1. Minor glitches here and there with audio volume, but other than that all major issues have been resolved.
I think my phone hates the CM10JB alpha for some reason ...GPS never works and battery life is horrible, I use some tweaked stock Rom.

Battery life is subjective based on use habits and what apps you have installed. However, blu kuban has served me very well, especially since the "battery life issue" (according to Samsung/Sprint) update of fh13.

Team Venum's cRaCk_StOcK is based on FH23, no probs with GPS, modem good, battery great, and it still offers that nice TW look if you want. It's a great blend of a few tweaks on a solid stock look.
As you see everyone here has different opinions of what ROM you should flash because we all have different likes or needs when it comes to what we put on our phones. I've flashed almost every ROM that's available for our phone, but I always come back to CM9.

I just picked up one of these phones to replace an original epic 4g (thing was great but after being dropped 5007 times it finally quit). I was using CM9 for a while on it but the GPS seemed flakey from time to time. As far as on this model, does GPS work well with CM9? The main things I need the phone to do without fail is make phone calls and GPS.
With that said, would CM9 be the suggested route or another basic rom?
