So instead of complaining about not having enough roms, I thought would be cool to see what people are using right now. I look through the development forum and see that some roms are a little outdated and have no new comments... but that doesnt mean they're not being used. I might try them out if you guys vouch for them. So lets here it! I'm running on Beastmod 2 v3.6. I love the dark menus and all around blueness =D
CM7 and Team kang, i switch between both!!
my layout
Beastmod2 3.0 with some ics goodness here and there
Just switched from from g2with desire z hboot rcmx3d. And I'm digging this phone phone ...3 days into it I like. Waiting from some new roms to try ..
I would say beastmod with jugs kernel has been the best for me stable and unbelievable battery life

@Audi..I've had mine for just a few days too. I like your setup..looks good.
@Milena..do you have a link to that kernel? Mine only has slightly better battery life than my nexus s so I'd like to try something different
Best rom?
Stock rooted with bloat froze and the stock kernel.
Somehow everything magically works and it gets great battery life. Best of all though, you don't gotta wait for updates cause the thing works already. Lol

Great thread to start!
I'm on juggs. I tried best mod but when he left xda I just went to jugs and stayed. essentially the same. I can't wait till cm7 works with no bugs.
Which brings me to this question,
I'm going to attempt to port the MexdroidMod from the G2 over to the sgs2.
Is our phone a hpdi device?

eagles blood until we can get a fully working stable cm9 in here
Is is it GB? ICS? Mabey even a taste of JB?
So what are you currently running? And why?
Me? Well I'm running CM 7.2 Kang 6/19, but I will probably change depending on this fourm.....
So what is it.....
ParanoidAndroid JB
I'm liking it for the app resizing capabilities and UI tweaks. It takes a little getting used to but it pays off!

Still running Skyraider Zeus, yes its gingerbread but its reliable as hell. It gets the job done and I know that everything is going to work on it.

I am running CM7.2 nightlies and aeroevan v10.5 kernel with incredicontrol bumping the clock to 1.4 and dropping the volts by a bit.
Very stable and all functionality intact.
I would love to jump onto a jb ROM, but they all seem to have issues with features and functionality. I will be patient, though, and I know that I will try out jb at some point in the future.
-CM7 on DInc2
IC Tazz sense 3.6 is my choice of roms. I love sense and this is a nice mix of ICS and Sense and its smooth. No complaints with this one.
Running Kangdemnation ICS can't really do things right now for jb cuz of kernel issues since I'm s-on
But loving the rom I'm using now

I've been running aokp (ICS) since before cs released his kangdemnation ROM. I like it for the tweaks that aokp has but have been having some problems lately such as my phone rebooting when I get calls. It only happens every once in a while but its getting annoying. I will probably try something else soon.

TSM Vanilla 2.3.4
I dont use any Sense widgets anyway...but like knowing the Sense quality camera is there if I need it.
AOSP ports always give me issues with in call volume and screen on. Im one of those guys who plants the phone against my face and the screen turns on. Darn!
I really liked UKB but the radio turning off when connecting to wifi bugs me - I use my phone to talk quite a bit.
Havent tried Jellybean on the phone and probably wont considering my experience with my GED Xoom.

What's wrong with us? The 90s are over!
I'm in kangdemnation .4, but I must admit you guys are right about functionality & reliability. ICS runs great. Can't wait till all the bugs are squashed.
Not a huge sense fan (used to be). It feels sort of heavy to me. TSM UKB rocks, tho.
PA is way cool, but haven't really gotten over the learning curve yet.
I'll probably go back to CM7 at some point. The Reverend mentioned CCM7 1.5 with aero's .8 was a good build.
The nice thing about flashing constantly is that you learn about options that you never knew existed & often can find ways to make them work on other roms. The downside is that your wife gets pissed cause you're on the phone too much! :banghead:

All i really care about is a working camera and i don't really use fcc. So i'm on 07/30 aero jb ROM. Battery life is phenomenal and i haven't had any issues. I realize that camcorder & fcc doesn't work, but i'm fine with that. Aero's cm9 build worked great too, so i would recommend that for camcorder and FCC. I tried the latest sense based ICS roms and didn't care for them , but that just my opinion.
I loaded up a "final rom flash",even though I've said that a hundred times, I'm running cm9 with aeros .12 kernal without the adreno drivers cooked in. Instead I flashed the ics adreno 200 drivers, along with Google now, agps patch, and its probably my daily until jb gets a little more stable.this combo is solid on my phone. Although any of the ics roms are equal in my eyes in different respects , there all great lol
I've been using Skyraider Zeus for many months now and it has been great! Long battery life and really smooth. I used CM7.2 by CondemnedSoul before Skyraider and that rom is excellent as well
I tried ICS roms but I couldn't live with bugs. I like complete functionality
How do you flash Google now? I mean, where did you get it?

I like to experiment with things that I understand little about.... lol
I didn't know if the adreno drivers that got put into aeros kernel were the same as the ics adreno 200, I really don't know what the difference was and that's what I wanted to see since I thought the other drivers were for jelly bean, I figured the ics ones would be better for ics, but I rarely have graphics issues. I'm pretty sure i asked that same question in one of the inc2 threads lol

Hey, everyone! So, long story short, I pretty much jacked up my OG Droid Incredible a couple of weeks ago and was force to pick up a new device. I went with a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, basically because the dev support is huge. The only problem with it is, the dev community is almost too huge! I've been scoping out the development section and it has my head spinning as there's just so much to choose from! Anyone have some recommendations for a nice stable Jellybean ROM and kernel to flash to get started with? And what does everyone use for recovery? I wasn't anticipating getting a new device this quickly so I haven't really had any time to research and sift through all of these threads. Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I look forward to being a part of this amazing community! Thanks everyone!

personally I always go with CM, and they did just start nightlies with CM10 (jellybean), kernels I just stick to what came with the rom, which is of course a CM kernel, and recovery, well you guessed it TWRP also brought to us by the CM team. There are many devs out there offering many great roms, but no matter what I always find myself going straight back to true CM roms, not CM based roms.

Man, we haven't had any official CM ROMs for the Dinc since Gingerbread. Everything ICS, and now JB, has been CM-based. I've never really been huge on MIUI but I'm willing to give anything a shot! There's just so much going on over here, I'm a bit overwhelmed!

BAMF Paradigm has been rock solid for me. It's close to stock with a handful of customizations. I'd say it's "just right"!
Is there any sort of Touchwiz theme or add-on that works with any of these JB ROMs? I know most people can't stand Touchwiz but I ran a CM9-based Touchwiz ROM on my Dinc for a while and absolutely loved it!

I guess you can search for themes that are compatible with CM10 theme chooser, but I don't think there's any Touchwiz ROMs. Also Touchwiz itself is not yet Jelly Bean, so it's gonna be pretty hard.
Welcome buddy! Glad to see your aboard the nexus train lol
As for ROMs.. this will depend on you specifically as I enjoy customization I went with -
JbSourcery and CNA, both stable and Jelly Bean.
Allow a huge variation of Customization, Miui was great with Gingerbread but since ICS it went to hell.
Kernels will vary depending on the ROM. Stock usually seems to be best.

Ahhh! A familiar face (well, username!) I was looking into that CNA. Looks like a good place to start. I'm pretty excited for all of the variety that goes on over here. Tomorrow can't come soon enough! I'm sure I'll have a few questions for you, as long as you don't mind. You were/are very helpful over in the Dinc forums for me so I'd imagine you'd be equally as helpful over here. Good to know there are some other converts as well!

Haha, indeed. Even started a sound quality thread.
The nexus sound quality isn't the greatest and at best can make it sound like the DInc.
Yeah go ahead, you'll see a few more familiar faces too! I have only seen Alton, Tiny "Rootzwiki" and Joelz, very rarely comes here. He released a Miui ROM yesterday I believe.

Personally I use TWRP recovery as it is very nice. I used the goo manager app in market to install it. Other than that I have tried many ROMs and all of them have been great but am now using paranoidandroid and probably will be from now on. It has things totally different than any other ROM and is really cool. With that I use the trinity kernel cause it performs well and I really like the colors. Also there is a touchwiz mod in the mods section that looks to be very complete. Look in there if interested to see what Ron they recommend on it.
You'd think I would have figured this out by now, but having been a CM9 loyalist since day one I never bothered to learn what any of the others constitute beyond looking at what their acronyms stood for.
So my questions are as follows:
1) What exactly is the difference between Android Open Source, Android Open Kang, and CyanogenMod? My initial understanding (and this was when I followed the stuff more closely on the HP Touchpad) was that AOSP was built directly from the source Google released, CM9 took it and tweaked it for the specific device, and AOKP piggybacked off that to further tweak. I'm not so sure anymore.
2) Who's developing what? I thought the three branches were distinct but then I see sbrissen and chris seemingly making commits to both CM and AOSP, so I'm a little confused by this.
3) What's receiving the most development right now? I was on CM9 Alpha 6 for the longest time. I was debating from moving to a CM9 nightly or a CM10 beta, but the separate thread for AOSP Jellybean made me wonder what exactly that offered vs CM10. I was tempted to stay on CM9 just because it's been around longer but I haven't seen any "official" updates in awhile (i.e. ones on the e4gt.blogspot.com site--I'm sure the nightlies are official in some sense). Is it still even being worked on by the CM team anymore or have they all jumped ship to CM10 development?
As of right now I just flashed the FH13 ICS Stock onto my phone to see how that works out. When the other roms reach a better level of stability I'll probably move back to one of the CM's, but I wanted some idea of what I'm flashing before I do.
Thanks in advance.

Cm9 is still being worked on. Chris41g is working on making it officially supported. His nightlies are so much better than alpha 6. I'd recommend upgrading to a nightly if you are on a6. Sbrissens jb aosp is also amazing as well. For me the jump from his alpha 4 to 5 was a huge difference in terms of battery life. I haven't had any los on it or any other problems on it. Recently on one of the alphas (idr which one, probably the latest) he added the status bar toggles so that was a huge plus as well. It still doesn't have the customization of cm10 but it's still amazing.

I see a lot of posters here cheer for CleanGB so you might wanna check that out, as for me I always like to try the latest so now I'm sticking with CM10.1 preview!

The Peoples Rom is a solid Rom with great battery life. All the CM roms have been great for me and CM10.1 is no exception, but I'd try a few to see what you like best.
Now should I just run the custom kernel and modem that comes with the cm rom? I'm having issues with mms and Wi-Fi tether

NEVER ask what's the best ROM!
They ALL are for the users that use them. No one can tell you what is the best for YOU. You need to read and decide for yourself if a ROM suits you.

Your modem does not change but the kernel will. The one that comes with CM10.1 is a 3.xxx based kernel and is smooth. I'd recommend running the rom as is for a few days and see how you like it.
I agree with you Kenny, but what an amazing work! everything is fast & fluid, colors are vibrant and beautiful.. I have been hanging around Epic forums for more than a year and this is the first time I saw something like this! you really had put a lot of work behind this, well done :good:
Been lurking and playing for a while now...
First off, I'm really impressed with the work the developers do here! OMG, it's giving my Epic new life and more. My wife like my phone so much, she asked me to root hers and put JB on it!
That being said, there's really a lot of choices, and almost every ROM makes a good daily driver. The question is what your threshold is for having things you're willing to put up with to get the cool new features these ROMs provide.
Here's my experience in the last 4 months - I started with CM9, and while I really liked it, I had some issues where it seemed to run hot at times. I added all the build.prop tweaks for increasing battery life, and once the stable version came out, I was pretty stoked. After a couple of weeks, I tried CM10 nightlies (my current ROM, 2013-01-20. I LOVE it! I added the 4.2 gapps camera and Gallery to enhance it a bit).
I expected the worst, because I work with developers and the term "nightlies" is never something we show to the public. In reality, aside from some initial issues with rebooting on earlier builds, it's been awesome.
This past couple of weeks, I decided to check out the waters and tried CM 10.1, and ran it for over two weeks - even put it on my wife's phone. It was like buttah until it randomly rebooted in the middle of a business call. I figure, once it goes to nightlies, I'll try it out again. Still itching, I tried ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2, and also AOKP Alpha 4.2.1 build. Both builds were stable and pretty polished, but battery life was better with CM10 - at least for the time-being. If you like to have lots of control over how your phone looks and acts, you can't go wrong with either ROM. I went back to CM10 mostly because it runs everything, especially Dead Space, which I couldn't get to work on any other ROM.
So, there's not really a "best" - it depends on what you want, and can put up with if there are issues.
