Most stable ICS ROM

Hi guys
I have been using Calk ROMs for a while now and tried to install the ICS one with no luck. The battery goes from 65 % to 15 just after restarting the phone. Anyone can tell me what is the most stable ICS ROM right now for the E4GT?
Thanks

they all suffer across the board from about the same issues... plus its either Miui, AOKP or CM9 and they are all having issues. Just wait it out

I have had really good luck with BLEND GOODNESS ROM. Battery life is ok on it, not as good as my old GB ROM. This ROM is good enough to be used as a daily driver.

Blend Goodness Rom is the best it had the best battery life. I use to use easy battery saver now I don't and it has some great features like beats audio and Sony bravia engine here is the link

Just for clarification the issue with the battery going from 65% to 15% wasn't because Calk's ROM was unstable it's an issue across all the leaks. The issue isn't so much that your battery is dying uber fast, it's an issue with the battery software (that tracks and reports your battery percentage) not being calibrated to the actual hardware/battery. Any time you install a new ROM you should allow for one to two full discharge and charging cycles before you get a real solid battery reporting. Unfortunately with the leaks coming out as fast as they are this hasn't been much of a reality...
As far as stable and awesome? I'm a big fan of the Miljzz's Goodness Blend. It's awesome! If you're going for more of a stock feel Calk's been cranking them out too.
EDIT: I heard that Venum's is pretty cool but I haven't tried it yet.

+1 to Blend! It's smooth and sexy.

I have been following "The ICS Goodness Blend" for a while now and it is MUCH more stable than when the first ICS leak came out. I have had no SOD on V1.9 yet.

I was say Venoms new ics rom bcuz its been running perfect...very good battery life for me and also Mijj rom as well...but im currently running Venoms and its excellent!!!

Mijjah Blend ICS ROM by far

Thanks guys. I will try your suggestions and see.
Best

4.0.3 epic touch
running fc07 stock rooted rom fco6 repacked kernal fc07 modem all seems well batt life fine runs so smoothg everything working 3g 4g wifi signal bars all the ics goodies very very hot rom flashed all over rouge recovery first cauilks format all zip then flashed rom then modem last kernal do the normal factory data reset wipe dalvik and catch reboot did not get stuck on 4g screen so start up went smooth as pie lovin this so nice

There are only two ics roms for our phone, aosp (cm9, miui) and Samsung (fb and fc based roms). Any other ROM is just a themed or scripted version of the previously mentioned and will have all the same bugs.

ROM is killing my battery - Suggestions on a solid ROM?

Is there a current ROM that is rock stable and offers good battery life? I don't mind if its JB or ICS but battery life is really important

Actually roms do not affect battery life, the responsable of battery dains is the kernel, in my experience I have tried only stock ics (rom and kernel) and battery life was decent, then I switched to miui with air kernel and with this kernel I have the best battery life for my use. You have to try different kernes and its setup because every user has different tasks to do with the phone.

Kernel is probably the cause of the battery drain, not ROM

try whichever you want:

as mentioned above

im very happy with franco's kernel ...you should try it...its stable and gives a great battery life
plus the all the cool options

IMO the best ROM isn't listed on this website. It is CodeNameAndroid. I know it is a ROM full of controversy and I don't care. It is by far the best one I have tried (I have tried almost every ROM), no others even come close. I am running it with the Trinity Kernel v35.

AOKP for ICS or ParanoidAndroid/CM10 for JB

Kernel/Recovery ?????

I've neglected my girlfriends E4GT since I got my S3, what's the best kernel/recovery to flash? Don't want to risk a brick and it seems like things have moved on since the old EL29 days. Looking to run AOSP JellyBean 4.1.1.
She's currently on CM9 Alpha 4 with no custom recovery installed.
Thanks for the read and the help.

Battery life on jb roms is still pretty bad but the roms are great. Why not run the latest cm9? Its on beta1 and pretty solid with good battery life.

Thanks for the heads up on JB roms and battery life. I thought I would just update her to the latest thing out there, but if it isn't good enough for a DD than I appreciate it.
As far as the best way to go CM9 Beta 1 is it best practice to ODIN the EL29 CWM or is there a more simple way?

Anyone with any recommendations?

Jelly bean is a daily driver for me I'm running paranoid JB..battery life is fine for me...I use the Pegasus scheduler and noop io
A good IcS Rom would be the blu kuban...I recommend that
A not about battery life since you said you neglected her phone..take the battery out and see if it spins on a flat surface if so the battery is bulging and bad..it would need to be replaced..
As far as the best way to flash cm9 beta one..Odin the el 26 kernel
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss

I flashed from el29 to cm10 5.3 alpha. I just wiped data and flashed with a safe recovery. Now on nightly 9/29 and everything is great but battery could be better. Jb too good to change though.

JB to GB - Need Opinions!

So Ive been doing some comparing of A LOT of Roms. Trying to see which one would be the greatest for battery life. Im going to be working long lloonng hours here shortly and need the battery life. Ive been looking All the way back to EL26 GB. So far Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 [ EL29 has my eye. Right now Im on ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2. Im just looking for others opinions. Maybe there is a Rom I missed? Tell me what you think.

if you want just battery life and a little performance, just go with calkulins 3.0 it has by far the best battery

Thats what I was looking at. I was comparing that to his ICS version, and Blazer Rom. Hard to choose. But so far Im aiming at Calks 3.0

My experience with blazer on gb has been my best experience with this phone, better than the jelly bean Rom I'm on now. Personally I say go for blazer
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Is it safe to flash from JB to GB using EL29 kernal? or are there more steps?

It's safe.
So far best battery life with calks 3.0 as well as blazer gb. Blazer ics as well with posted tweaks. With 1day on 4hr screen. About to try lightweight with placebo as I've seen even better results via screenshots

[Q] Need a good ROM for my wife

My wife and I both have Galaxy S3's, mine from Verizon (Work) and her's AT&T. I'm running the Jelly 'Beans' ROM with Imoseyons 1.8 Lean Kernel and the phone is great with excellent battery life.
What I need for her phone is a stock-looking ROM on the front end with a fast and stable back end with GREAT battery life. She came from an HTC OneX and her only complaint about the S3 is battery life compared to the HTC. I need something that I can flash and forget, doing constant flashes on her phone isn't feasible. So, what's the best ROM and Kernel combo for her?

For battery life and simplicity Liquid Smooth beta with KTOONZ kernel is what I'd run excellent battery life. Its my back up rom. I've had 4% battery drop in five hours. Very fast and stable no glitches at all.

If you want a ROM where you dont need to flash constant updates - stick to a TW based ROM.
Like CSRom or Dandroid

If i had to recommend a good rom i would say Vanilla Rootbox, it's stable with a good amount of features.

Team Venum Wicked Sensations.

Another vote for CSROM. Great battery life (especially with Ktoonsez's kernel) and it's TW so she won't have much adjusting to do.

I think I'm going to go with CSROM with Ktoonsez's kernel. Thanks for the replies!

CSROM or i747z are great.

If you want to keep it simple, try Task650's AOKP 4.2.1 rom. Great battery life, extremely stable, no ridiculous theming, tons of setup options within the rom. Would be perfect for your wife, sir!
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

I'm running Task's AOKP on my AT&T S3. It's fast and I get great battery life, up to 2 or 3 days sometimes without heavy use. With average use, you can still easily get through the day.

CyanogenMod is a pretty good and light rom to start with.
but if you dont like constant updates, i'd say just stick with TW rom, the Samsung apps on there are pretty sweet, especially S Memo

Rom (Blackjelly): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883845
and
Kernel (KT747): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
Both combined give me a fantastic battery life along with great performance.

I don't know if you've made your decision OP, but most of these people recommend TW based roms. I agree with them. AOSP roms are constantly getting updated which is not what you want, so touchwiz based is the way to go. CSRom is an excellent choice and KToon's kernel is superb for battery life in my own experience. Just wanted to let you know that AOSP roms are not really what you should choose if you don't plan on flashing her device a lot.

Actually, you only have to flash a lot if those updates are important to you. I've been on the same version of tasks 4.1.2 rom for months, no need to update... most of the updates are tiny tweaks and updates, like lockscreen options, and things like that... as long as it's stable and fully functional (which tasks builds are infamous for being) just grab the latest version, flash and forget.

At this point 4.2.1 is still in early stages. I would wait a while until most things are fully functional and the only things being worked on are additions and minor minor bugs that don't affect performance to much.

I agree, this is why I just moved to tasks 4.2 aokp last night. It's flawless. Everything works fine so long as you follow his directions in the op.
