First of all, I absolutely LOVE ICS. I'm even getting a nexus to have AOSP ICS. It's great, but not on this phone. I ran it for 4 days and I am glad I did, but no more. I just want to explain why.
First of all: the camera. While everything but recording WORKS, it does not WORK WELL. The autofocus is awful, and I struggle to take a picture I would take in a second with skyraider. The pictures also are often very grainy. Now, as of AOKP, camcorder works, and flash works on Angel Camera. Everything about the camera works.
Second: Apps. I'm not talking about the ICS apps. They are incredible. On our phone though, many apps I love, like temple run , as well as others crash or just don't work. Some apps just have lots of FC's.All apps except for temple run that I use have no issues now.
Third: Battery life (depends on ROM). On AOKP, the battery life is absolutely abysmal. However, it is wonderful on the Nexus, which is why it is strange to me. I have many media wakelocks, and other issues. Getting amazing battery life with build 31 of AOKP with aero's v9 kernel.
Fourth: Stability. Just today, my gallery decided to stop working. Before, I have had random lockups, a mess of FC's and many other things. For me, it's very important to have whatever feature I need, when I need it. Not in 5 minutes, not in a hour. If I need to take a picture, I need to take one. If I need to check a website, the browser had better not start force closing. If I need to download an app, the Play Store had better not crash 5 times. Twice today, my phone decided to just have a black screen when getting a phone call, and I couldn't answer them. I have not had any issues with ICS stability on this build or the last couple of aero's.
Note though, that I am not saying that YOU shouldn't run ICS. In fact, if you can, DO IT! Just I can't, sadly. The developers do an absolutely incredible job porting this stuff no thanks to HTC. I really want to thank them for that. I'll just be sticking with GB unless there's a leak for us. I just wanted to write this up, not sure why. Oh, well.
Now, ICS is amazing, and there is no reason anyone shouldn't run it, unless you are stuck on sense!
Party on Wayne!
I'm excited for ics, but until we get a good leak I don't see me using it for a while

You're rationalizing. Embrace the mediocre pictures. I can't leave ics because the cm9 music and MusicFX I flashed sounds so fn awesome it makes me cry.

Are you getting a nexus one(good battery), nexus s(also good battery, or a galaxy nexus( the battery is so bad it can't keep up with charge). Just wondering, I'd go for the nexus s if I didn't have a upgrade and I needed a new phone.
If I had an upgrade I'd get the rezound. I like soft keys(actually I don't like the red soft keys on the rezound, I like the ones on the dinc 2 better), even though are soft keys are a part of the touch screen. It's the fastest phone on the market, and it can take amazing pics. Not to mention the battery is good and development is plentiful. And its getting ics soon......
IDK why I wrote this

Huh, so the Galaxy Nexus has horrible battery. Let's see what an extended battery, franco kernel, and AOKP have to say about that. Oh, yeah, with stock battery and AOKP/franco, you get 3 hrs screen on time. Woops. And the Rezound is my least fav phone out of the "big 3". Now that has terrible battery life. I have a friend, you know the one that gave all the ICS leaks to the Rezound users? Yeah, him. He tried a Nexus and said the battery was amazing compared to his Rezound. Also, the Rezound is really thick, overheats, and has Sense 3.5/.6. Ugh.

I have to say. The battery on the ICS builds are not bad at all. I am running areos 31 build with stock kernel oc 1.2 and still have an all day battery with moderate usage. But to each his own.

I wish the op best of luck, but I hated the GN. Terrible battery life, awful looking screen and one of the worst radios I have ever used in a phone. The only thing good about it was that it ran ICS natively.

Agreed, running the same here, getting a solid 2+ days battery life with light/moderate usage. I don't take many pics so not too worried about the camera. Music FC's on me every now and again, but I haven't had a single hiccup or reboot otherwise.
I do wonder if it's possible (perhaps in an upcoming build) to lock the messaging app & launcher in memory, as sometimes the messaging app is slow upon initially launching.

Well, I came straight from stock 2.3.3 to ICS. No other mods/roms of any kind. Been running for about 24 hours now and no problems at all. No lag, no force closes and no reboots. I have the 3500 mAh HTC battery and I've been heavily using it for these 24 hours and I've lost maybe 15%. When I say heavily, I mean drooling at the screen four hours. I'm amazed. At first I hated the video I seen of ics when it was first announced, I thought it was the ugliest thing I've ever seen, but im loving it rite now. I hope I can talk my bro in law out of this phone lol.

Just wanted to read some opinions on what are the best ROMS and kernel for the galaxy nexus LTE, I come from the Droid charge, I know a little about imoseyon and gummy team, but the rest are unknown to me. I always read cm9 roms are great, but there are a couple to choose from. Thanks in advanced!
Also, I use my Droid charge a lot for tethering and school so I need a mix of performance and battery life for the galaxy nexus.
AOKP is the team that's killing it right now IMO.

Couple it with Franco's kernel.. battery life is just amazing.
Check the Dev section and see what suits ur taste
So is aokp better than CM9? Also there are different CM9, like I officials, unofficial and kangs, which ones do you think is better?

AOKP is the mod king right now. Pure CM-9 is close to stock, super fast and super clean. Just 2 different experiences. As a new Nexus user I'd recommend you hold off flashing custom roms for a few weeks just to experience stock ICS. It'll make you appreciate the different roms more by giving you the ability to contrast speed as well as modded features. Kernel wise, can't go wrong with Franco's or imoseyon.
My experiences:
AOKP-lots and lots of mods. A bit slower than stock, and good but not great on battery life.
CM-9-Very close to stock but faster. Better on battery life given the very clean code and lack of modded features.
Sent from CDMA GNexus w/CM-9 & franco.kernel
CM9 doesn't have the same level of customization as AOKP.
Idk how AOKP battery life is honestly, it doesn't seem that amazing from some screenshots I've seen.
I'm running liquidsmooth with Franco kernel and am getting amazing battery life.
Right now at 7 hours and 30 minutes on battery, with 1 hour 27 min of display time and listened to over 30 minutes of Music thru Google Play Music. Still have 74% battery left.
A few days ago, I got 3 hours and 20-ish minutes display time on over 11 hours on battery with 40% left of battery.
In a full day of usage I can get over 6 hours display time with heavier usage.

Thanks that was the kind of response I was looking for. I really like lean roms because I can add whatever is missing later. I see you are using CM9, are using the official or the Kang?

That's some incredible battery life, I should take a look at your ROM/kernel combination. Since I tether a lot I had to buy the big 3800 batteries, I know it might look ugly but I hate swapping barrettes.
Since I've never tried ICS I'm going to taste it for a couple of days, then I'll try a couple of roms starting with cm9 then I'll try liquid smooth.
So I'm new to the android community coming from an iphone 4S, and so far it's pretty awesome. lol. I've tried two ROM's, AOKP and TuchMi. So far i'm enjoying TuchMi since it brings the stock with all of Samsung's features, plus overclocking, V6 and all that. performance has been nice. As i'm trying to get more into android, I wanted to know you guy's thoughts on the two ROM's or maybe any other ones that might be better?? thanks in advance!
Stock, the best!

I was hoping this thread to run good since I am trying to get an idea on roms since I just got my S III today.
We got enough good roms going.
I mean we have a subsidized carrier phone, so it's pretty natural for the international counterpart would get more attention.
With that said, I love AOKP.
AOKP is beast. Just trying to test out different ROM's, but seriously, if you like touchwiz, check it out. Only thing is, my apps say they are invalid when I download. Any help??

Diet ICS
Also tried TuchMi, it was pretty good.
Currently using the diet ICS build from 08/04 with the latest BLUE theme installed (found in the diet ICS thread from peterguru) and it looks and works great. Running ktoonz latest kernel (which allows underclocking to 192MHz and has more steps than faux123's v009) and smokin's CPU Editor with Battery Saver. Great battery life, great performance, awesome blue "diet" theme. Probably my favorite so far.
To be honest though the thing that made me switch and flash diet ICS over TuchMi 5.0 was the inclusion of Google Wallet (although now my phone thinks its a Galaxy Nexus ) -- still haven't been able to test it out in the wild though...

I've been on TuchMi-S3"X" 5.0 since i got my phone 2 weeks ago. So far the best. I tried Diet rom too, but it was a little skinny for me (lol?).
I tried AOKP today and I had used AOKP on my Atrix before, but I went back to TuchMis3x right away because its so far the best. Stable, Battery is insane too!
I'm just waiting for CM10 to fully come out for our phones and i'll make the switch!
Sooo, I switched from TuchMi to AOKP, and right after, my battery starts to drain. Drained about 5% within 2min. Running TuchMi, my battery barely moves. Now I'd have to say that it is successfully the best ROM imo. only problems are: my Google account syncs on and off with contacts, and sometimes i get a blue screen fracture. idk.

If your battery drained that fast then something is wrong. Almost 11 hours on battery with 2 hours of screen time, lte on all day and wifi on past 3 hours and I am sitting at 62% right now. I am on aokp ics right now. Only thing keeping me from newer updates is that HBO go doesn't work in any of the cm10 based in roms yet that I know of
I would also like to point out that it takes several battery cycles before a rom fully settles in and you find out how it truly performs with battery.

Thanks for that. Like I said, I'm new to this so I didn't know what was going on, so the first thing that came to my mind was to go back. Now I just flashed the AOKP jb ROM. The AOKP that i had before was the CM9 based one i believe? lol. Either way, thanks man. added a little more confidence for me lol.
Jellybro from Euroskank the best one for my needs. not the last one though. 2 days battery, butter smooth, love the Jelly aesthetics and simplicity.
When the bugs are worked out of paranoid android I would say give that a run. The ability to run phone and tablet on one device together flawlessly is great. Plus you ave full control over the size of all apps and the such.
JellyBro is my top pick, then would be a stock ROM ([ROM]{??/??/????}TEAM_INSOMNIA PrEsEnTs ARISTODEMOS) and after that I'd say AOKP CM9 based for EXTREMELY long battery life.
been using cm9 for a few days, perfectly stable so far and great battery life. Can't beat stock ics
Blazer
I have been on Blazer O/C with the Kalagas mixed ICS Theme and love it. Seems all the stock based ROMS are fine with some nice tweaks
Which do you prefer and why. I Basically want the pro's and con's. I know CM10 is not meant for our phones, heck even CM9 for that matter. So im curious... whats your flavor.
How long have you been using JB (either one) and what's your battery like. Or how did you make it better.
What modem works for you and why.
Let's see some screenshots of your battery.
Its not that its not meant for our phones but not officially supported
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Correct. But it does work better on other phones. But you are correct thanks for correcting me.
I am a big CM fan and after using the alphas I strayed and lived on the Unofficial CM9 nightlies for a while. I found those very smooth, but had sub-par battery.
After jumping back to GB for a month or so, I have played with both CM10 and JB AOSP. As expected, CM10 has more customization options while AOSP is very lean. Performance is very similar between the two as there has been a lot of collaboration between the devs and functionality is continually improving VERY fast with each update.
That being said, the only thing I miss on either ROM is bluetooth for media. Everything else that I use is working without issue. Some have reported LOS, but I have not experienced it with a clean data wipe and fresh install. I am still holding on to the EL29 modem, but considering trying a couple of the newer releases.
As for my preference, I am using JB AOSP as my DD at this point because I have experienced VERY good battery life with practical use CM10 seemed to drain a little faster, but it is coming along quite nicely IMO. Moving from Calks GB 3.0 to the JB ROMS lately has not been a dramatic transition in terms of battery and that is saying something.
I hope that is what you were looking for. Either way, IMO you can't go wrong test driving both and seeing which one does it for you.
Edit 1 (AOSP Alpha 5): Bluetooth media has been working since Alpha 4 and it is very stable. With Alpha 5, the screen transition from portrait to landscape (and back) is more responsive as it has been a little slow in the previous builds. This is a very nice build. The battery issue seems to be that the phone does not charge completely but shows 99-100% when disconnecting from the charger. Sbrissen has noted a potential battery fix on Alpha 5. I have not had it long enough to report anything at this point.

I've been waiting for a post like this since Sbrissen released the ROM. Think I shall finally give it a go and see how it runs.
cm10 ftw.
after using cm you'll find it hard to go back to anything else! (unless its aokp)
there is just endless customization options..
cm10 may have more features for me aosp is a lil better far as battery and smoothness i ran both for a lil over a day aosp is the winner
Check out SB's AOSP Alpha 3. All the reviews say it is coming along nicely (almost Beta)
I tried it back when it was private, and it was amazing (other than LOS, which he seemed to have fixed)
So I'm installing it again now.
CM10 vs. AOSP
Well, for me CM does the trick. And when I got the EpTouch and found out it was not supported by CM, I was heartbroken. The Epic Touch is such a wonderful device with its screen, and CPU power; granted there are a number of devices currently better than this phone.
I think CM is a better choice just for how well they support development. I have never had an AOSP ROM before, but I enjoyed being able to boot into recovery from hitting the power button. I even enjoyed playing with a few of the CM settings in the phone.
AOSP is just pure, 100% Android, and is great if that is what you want. But, I still want a little suprises here and there.
Cm is very stable for the epic. They are quite close to official I would say.

Well I was running the AOSP build and loved it with the exception that WiFi tether won't work. Can anyone confirm it works on cm10 before I go through the trouble of flashing?
From what I read, Wifi tether is not working on Jellybean right now and have been running CM10 Alpha 4 for over 12 hours now. Let your Rom settle. It takes time to set your accounts back up with syncing and will drain your battery the first cycle. The first battery cycle had 3 hours. I left it off and let it charge over night. I have now had it off the charger for an hour and half and am still at 87%. A huge increase since first cycle. In that same time I have a 1% Time without Cell signal (LOS).... I had this on GB, just b/c I have one tower about 3 miles away that I'm anchored to. If you haven't already I would recommend flashing the new FH13 modem as well.

Well, from what i read from your reply is, I dont know what im talking about , yada yada yada.... If you read a little closer it says wifi tether is not working on the AOSP build. I clearly asked above if someone could verify that it is indeed working on the CM10 build. Is that what you are trying to say? Cause no one here said they are having problems with syncing or other accounts.
Cm10 alpha 4 is running great, I was running el29 modem but I had some issues with Los, after I upgraded to fh13 I have not experienced any more Los. also turning off location services gets better battery in deep sleep.

I've flashed my flo 20+ times. I was using various Cm builds but I got tired of the instability after a week or more of use. I tried PA but it's just not stable on my device yet. Slimrom worked well for me but it was lacking some convenience features and it wasn't very fast. I recently flashed Omnirom to try out the multi window feature. The rom was glitchy but multi window did work. I flashed something else once I found out that you can't keep a video playing on half the screen while you use another app on the other side.
For kernels I started with elemental and then switched to faux when it came out. I've dabbled with Franco and glitch but Faux gives me the best battery life by far. I got busy with work and didn't touch my tablet for awhile. I ended up with over 20 days of standby with faux.
I know you said you wanted a change but I've finally settled on Carbon. It's the fastest and most stable rom that I've found this far. PIE, Halo, and floating window all work great. The benchmarks and daily performance are right up there with the CM roms. I've just been using the kernel that comes with Carbon and I'm getting good battery life. Faux is currently ironing out some kinks but I'll switch back to it soon for the battery life and screen calibration options.
Stay stock since it's a Nexus device. If you decide to experiment stay stock first at least for a few weeks to establish a baseline so you'll know if it's ROM related if you run into issues.

I've flashed my flo 20+ times. I was using various Cm builds but I got tired of the instability after a week or more of use. I tried PA but it's just not stable on my device yet. Slimrom worked well for me but it was lacking some convenience features and it wasn't very fast. I recently flashed Omnirom to try out the multi window feature. The rom was glitchy but multi window did work. I flashed something else once I found out that you can't keep a video playing on half the screen while you use another app on the other side.
For kernels I started with elemental and then switched to faux when it came out. I've dabbled with Franco and glitch but Faux gives me the best battery life by far. I got busy with work and didn't touch my tablet for awhile. I ended up with over 20 days of standby with faux.
I know you said you wanted a change but I've finally settled on Carbon. It's the fastest and most stable rom that I've found this far. PIE, Halo, and floating window all work great.

I had 50% of my battery drain in carbon from cLock.. I was just wondering if there was a good ROM to utilize what the device is. A tablet. No point in clock being there. You can't use it on the go much. I dunno

cLock doesn't even show up in my battery stats. Is it the clock widget? I deleted the stock one and just use trusty ol' Beautiful Widgets.
Carbon doesn't have a tablet UI but I didn't care for it much in the other roms I've tried. The device just isn't that big so the regular phone UI works fine for me. Even adjusting the dpi makes things too small to be touch friendly for my fingers.

I mean like app mods/apps that enhance the 7inch awesomeness. I don't like tablet ui. Don't really care for phablet. But hey. Lol
