Alright, I'm sure this has come across many peoples minds. Which is better? Cm9, or the new official ICS release from LG. Give us your input!

Those loving roms and a bit vanilla will always like cm better than stock!

I am getting much better battery life and performance using the ics leak. But I miss a lot of the features that were available on CM9.
Battery backup
Battery back-up on stock battery now rocking high on the ICS leak 1Day and 5hrs and still kicking.The new power save feature is also ausome.
Same thing here. Much better overall performance and battery life with ICS leak, compared to CM9. Used it for couple days, and there is not a single reason that I can see to go back to CM9.
This is what I've found:
ICS Advantages:
Proper driver support
Excellent UI
Better battery life
More responsive interface
CM9 Advantages:
No bloatware
Open architecture allows for more tweaking
AOSP apps
Constant improvement
Push:
In-app performance
I've found the leaked ICS more than stable enough to be a daily driver. In fact, in 3 days of usage I've had no more problems than any stock firmware build I've ever had in a phone. Heck, it's got fewer problems than the stock GB build did.
On the other hand, CM9 is *not* stable or polished enough to be a daily driver for me. The biggest problem was there were issues that were keeping the phone awake even when not used and absolutely killing battery life. Processes not being killed off properly, sensor issues, backlight and radio problems, the list went on.
YMMV, obviously - some people have had way fewer problems with CM9. It's just not the case for me.

That is awesome! You guys with ICS are making me jealous. I'll have to wait for an official release as I'm not comfortable upgrading it like y'all on my own.
Have to agree. Stock ROM is actually impressive. Fluid, and even rootable, so I got rid of what bloatware there was (which really was not a lot to begin with).
On that note, does anyone know how I can switch from CM9 to the new ICS, step by step? And also, How can I still keep all my stuff? I'm not sure if Titanium Backup will work or not on CM9, I heard it had issues.
I'm personally gonna stick with CM9 because it's more than stable enough for me and constantly improving. But switching from CM9 to LG ICS is as easy as putting the phone in download mode and running the 1-click installer.
Backing up app data via TiBU should be fine. Just don't restore system data when you are in LG ICS.

Installing LG's ICS is easy. It's getting back to CM9 (or any other ROM) that is difficult.
I haven't really had any issues with cm9 nightly. Ive been running it as my daily driver and it does a good job and my battery life goes to about 18 hours with heavy usage (extended battery). im thinking about going to ICS leak but i really enojoy the way that im able to tweak clock speeds (specially past 1.5GHz), tweak the memory and apply themes on cm9 (I dislike looking at the same thing for a while **coughcoughiphonecoughcough**) Hope to see a kernel and custom rom for atleast the leaked ICS. Its a loud call but will is it loud enough? :-/

What exactly is difficult? It's too easy, just requires a little more manipulation.

Switched from CM9 to ICS and so far....
I'm not really liking it. Might be because of the difficulty it gave me with TiBu, or maybe its because I can't use the volume buttons to change tracks on poweramp anymore. Then there's the cartoony lool and lack of CWM. I don't know, but it just rubs me the wrong way right now.

No CWM: back to CM9
I want to go back from the leaked ICS release to CM9, but without CWM working, how do i do it? do i need to use the unbricking method? i would rather not since it looks like a nightmare. I have backups from CWM on my sd card of both stock and CM9, and my Nitro is rooted on the new leak. someone please help!

If you have root, you only need to follow the LAST steps of the unbricking guide -- starting from the heading "Restoring the original Nitro HD images" on the guide. Doing the stuff before that is just wasting your time.
If you don't have root (and can't get it to root), then you'd have to follow the full guide.
Edit: Please only attempt these steps if you know what you're doing. There may be unforeseen complications because the new ICS ROM is not fully understood at this point in time. Don't blame me if your phone stops working.

Please notice my edit to my last post. Some people have had issues returning to CM9 while others have been able to do it without any issues. Just be aware that there is still some uncertainty with what exactly the leaked ICS ROM has modified.
Hi,
I'm new to flashing my samsung captivate glide and I have tried CM10.1 (4.2.1 android) by dman. I like it and all but at this point I would like to know if there is a ROM out there that could be considered the "best"... in the sense that I don't care what version of android it is but it has to be better than the stock 2.3.6 android that i had stock with my rogers phone. Preferably it should be lighter and faster and uses less battery if possible. Without all the bloatware that rogers installs and it can be any version of android between 2.3.6 and 4.2.1... oh and all functions should work flawlessly (including keyboard lights and bluetooth) Is there a ROM like that here? if so, which one is it?
Thanks
Sounds like u need to go back to 2.3.6 and get a rom from that version for right now.. or root and wipe all bloat urself

for what you are wanting stick with either stock ics or litetrom ics
I find nothing beats the battery life of osimood 2.3.5. I've also tried Stock ics with bloat removed and lite kernel. It was super fast but battery life was significantly shorter than osimood. I've also tried a few jellybean roms that had battery life similar to ics.

Thanks for you reply guys, I might try the "osimood 2.3.5"
Since I have a Rogers captivate glide and not the AT&T one, and I know Rogers hasn't officially come out with ICS yet, I imagine I will have to use an ICS rom from AT&T if I want to try it. Is the battery life that bad with ICS? Is the official Samsung ICS release rom 100% working? or does it have keyboard light problems like others do? Does bluetooth work?

On osimood I feel like I can get 3 days out of a fully charged battery no problem. I don't think I could get 3 days out of ICS. The keyboard backlight has been fixed in ICS and the JB roms. The samsung ICS roms seem 100%, but I don't use bluetooth so I couldn't tell you.
I like dman's 4.1, personally. Currently I'm using thegreatergood's 4.2, but I'm not crazy about a couple things that google has done. For example the lockscreen widgets sound really cool, but recently (living in Canada) I've been obsessed with how cold its been, and having to swipe to get the weather on my lockscreen is kind of annoying.
The important thing to remember here is that there is no best for everyone. Take like a week or two, try the available roms for a couple days each and then settle on something.
To combat your (potential) battery woes, pick up an extended battery. I got one off of ebay for like ten bucks, and so far (1 month in) its been great. I never have to worry about charging during the day anymore. And that's with an hour and a half bus commute (each way) with copious google readering and web browsing and pretty heavy usage besides that. Yeah, it fattens up the phone, but 99% of the time, I don't even notice.
sooo many roms to try!
Thanks for the info.
Can someone give me a link to the 100% working ICS rom (is it dman's 4.1 rom??) or the forum page where the link is? I'm never sure if the rom I'm seeing is the right one or not, there are so many roms here, and variation of roms (like literoms and such)
I would like to try the 100% working ICS rom first
Thanks

When it comes to the extended batteries, I had already started shopping on ebay but since they are many chinese brands which I don't know, I was checking out the mugen extended one. I know it's much more expensive but I really like the back cover that comes with it because it has the kickstand integrated to it, which all smarphones should have now IMO. Does anyone know of a chinese ebay brand that has the kickstand on the back cover for the extended battery? I haven't found one yet that does except for the Mugen one. I have been burned in the past many times with cheap batteries from china so i'm a little hesitant to put a cheap p.o.s. battery in my cappy and maybe kill it. Are there any horror stories when it comes to these cheap extended batteries?

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say that I have tried many roms as of late (CM 10.1 - 4.2.1 beta 3, the official ICS 4.0.4 release rooted by Dman, and the Osimood 2.3.5). Here are my impressions to help any other people that were like me and didn't know what too choose:
- CM 10.1 (4.2.1 beta 3) ROM is good but buggy and missing bluetooth and keyboard backlite (directly from rom withtout fixing seperately). If you are going to use this rom, might as well try vanilla rootbox.
- Official ICS 4.0.4 ROM rooted by dman is good too, not buggy, but looks and feels a lot like the original gingerbread 2.3.6 that I had in my rogers phone, so what's the point...
- Osimood 2.3.5 ROM is very good if you want to stick with the old gingerbread look, and with added options and apps that you won't find in stock roms.
I finally installed a rom that is the best, in my opinion. The Vanilla RootBox - JB - Android 4.2.1. I've only had it for 24 hours so far, but I've been playing around with it a lot since then and I have to say "well done" to everyone involved in making this rom. Bluetooth is working except for one bug which doesn't affect my personal use of bluetooth, physical keyboard and backlights are working well, Many additional options are included but the rom is small and unbloated. Its very fast and you can even do updates of the rom and gapps directly on the phone, which I find very good. I haven't found any major bugs at all so far, but from my use of my phone, this rom is great and I highly suggest everyone tries it.
I know a lot of devs work hard on their roms and I'm not saying the others are bad roms, They all have their good and bad sides. But for me, vanilla rootbox JB 4.2.1 is the best so far!
Thanks again to everyone that responded to this post and gave me great rom suggestions. This helped me out a lot. :highfive:
Is the Best rom veery faster
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
Well, from what I have tested so far, it seems to be the fastest... and if you are rooted, there are overclocking options directly in the system options.
What's said about CM 10.1 from October is not correct now in February 2013.
I flashed(heimdall'd) just the following from thegreatergood's "Stock Firmware" link:
111604076 /external_sd/sam_i927/UCALJ3_i927/hidden.img
12583168 /external_sd/sam_i927/UCALJ3_i927/modem.bin
...then from CWM recovery flashed a zip on sdcard for CM, or AOKP, or Liquid, or RootBox. Liquid has the smallest bytes of /system (factoryfs.img).
...I think there are half a dozen alt modem.bin's with LiteROM. Didn't try flashing any separately.

If you have root use Titanium Backup it will allow you to remove system apps and all the bloat that comes pre-installed.
Hi all,
i just bought another arc s for my girlfriend, im running lupusv16, hd4 rom & hd 4.8 mod setup for gaming ext.
i expected mine to be quicker but ive just tested them side by side and the stock one loads web pages about 2 seconds quicker every time??
any ideas why?
cheers

Stock ICS or stock GB?
If GB, no wonder.
If ICS...well, our phones are not made to run such advanced apps (apps ported from Xperia Z for example), they just demand more power than stock ones, thereby working slower than stock.

I can believe u cause I saw something like this...
I don't know why but newer phones are always faster than old(from one special model...).
Also rooted phones are not as good in performance as a new phone that isn't rooted yet...
The other reason of this, is DRM keys...
When I unlock my bootloader and lost the DRM keys ,my phones performance decreases...
Anyway when u know arc s doesn't support from Sony more why u bought a new one for ur girlfriend?
Bumer for ur gf...
We will die in stock jb release hope...
I bought mines in feb
I was about to get xperia S but I liked the design of arc S
So I got it, is my first android, didnt know anything about ICS or GB and didnt know ICS was soo sucky and also didnt know that sony stopped working on these devices, they should stop selling if they are not working anymore
Tho my phone is also slow in ICS with 12W46 manufacturing date and for some reason I just cannot unlock bootloader

And it was my first phone(not just first smart phone...)
I thought my PC's CPU is clocked about 2.8 gh and arc s CPU frequency is 1.4 gh so arc s should have half of my computer's power so I bought it...

I think you are forgetting dome of the facts
Well fitst even if you use brand new stock gb or ics its still brand new which means he got only few apps installed as for your arc s with uhd and uhd mod using for a while i bet you got much more apps and much more ram consumers.
Second uhd as imself is a great rom "slim and fast" but when you added uhd mod u now make it not slim anymore which means less speedy
So yes it may give you few more options for customising your phone but be aware that those extra options gonna make your phone slower
This is my opinion

The ONLY!! reason our phones are so slow is the lack of RAM! A 1.4GHz processor is enough to run any android application if you have enough ram.
I would never give my arcs away if I had a way to add more ram to the phone lol
Hi there,
I recently purchased a used Galaxy Nexus from eBay after having seen the good spec and for the low price. I have a few questions before I receive the phone and I'd like to know what ROM would be the best to use, I have seen a stable Cyanogenmod is this the best? Also, I have seen some questions around issues on battery life, has anyone using this ROM had any problems and if so what advice could you give?
I have previously owned the Orange SF 1 and 2 and was not satisfied with battery life after having changed the ROM etc. and I don't want to have those issues with this phone. So, I appreciate any help I can get with my questions, thanks!!
Every single rom I've used has pretty much been the same with battery. The battery on the galaxy nexus isn't the best. That's how it was built. No rom is going to magically make it better. Any difference in battery you get will be minimal and depend more on how you use your phone. I suggest try out some ROM and kernel combinations and see what works for you. There are plenty to chose from and honestly, they are all good. You aren't going to get one single answer from everyone here.

Thanks for your reply. All right, does the battery for you last on a day to day basis? I don't want to mess about with ROMs too much, I am looking for that one ROM that would be most stable and I won't have to change. What is the stock Android like on the Nexus, also I have seen "PARANOIDANDROID" to be very popular so is that good, what do you use? Thanks again!

I am not one to answer these questions. I work at a desk all day with a charger in my phone pretty much the whole day so battery has never been an issue. But if you arent doing a lot to your phone all day like streaming music and movies and gaming then you should be fine. As for your other question, I have been on a different ROM every week since 4.3 came out. lol. All of them are nice and smooth and good ROMs. If you like a lot of features, go with Paranoid Android. If you like minimal stock go with Cyanogenmod or any other AOSP ROM. Stock isnt all that bad either though. Its like I said, try some out and find what you like. As long as you know what you are doing, you shouldnt have any problems flashing a bunch of stuff. Thats the fun part anyway.

I cant think of any unstable ROMs that we have. The good thing about the Galaxy Nexus is that the developers dont have to do any workarounds to get things working. Its a completely unlocked phone with all the tools for developing available for them. So all the ROMs that are made pretty much have everything working in it.
EDIT: Oh, and just make sure you use the ROM that is made for your device. If you have the unlocked GSM version, you need ROMs made for "Maguro".

EDIT: Oh, and just make sure you use the ROM that is made for your device. If you have the unlocked GSM version, you need ROMs made for "Maguro".

Thanks a lot for all your help! Since, I have installed Cyanogenmod and stuck to Android 4.2, as ParanoidAndroid wasn't for me. I have also used the Touchwiz UI and it looks great. The battery life I am happy with it even though it does go down a little more than average, but it's fine for me. Thanks again, great phone!

I am pretty sure there LOTS of ROMS like that throughout the forum but I would recommend Close2Perfection and Gin2KitKat. Try them both if you can and see what is good for you. BTW, both of them are GB ROMs.

Well, I used the Gin2JellyBean Rom 2.5.2 (not a fan of the kitkat 3.0.0 look). It's very stable, has great battery life and it's also extremely powerful when it comes to gaming. Also, I haven't found something which is missing. Everything is working great and it's without a doubt, one(!) of the best Xperia Play GB roms you can find here.
But for now I'm using IceCreamSpeed V12. I like the design and it's an incredible good ICS rom, with full Touchpad Support (and if it doesn't work for specific games you can use the Touchpad activator, coming with the rom).
Alright so
I tested almost all "gaming" roms on gb for the xperia play for 1 year now..... And i have to say that NXT Light or Auroraplay is the best choice for you if you want to game
I am now on auroraplay and i have to say i can play everygame without overclocking and withotu lags
Btw: The GB Roms are much faster then the ICS roms so dont bother you use gingerbread for gaming
The best kernel for gingerbread is

So use that with auroraplay and your xperia play will fly!!!!
Edit: No that roms hasnt any bugs and of corse you can use your touchpad
1. I have tried many ROMS too. but the SuperLite JB is one of my Fav's .. I used it as a daily for 1 year. Totally customizable because of AOKP settings.

and then I switched to MIUI.. ohhhhh.. MIUI is the real Beautiful Face of Android.. the usual android is soooooooooooooo Boring.. MIUI is a please to the eye.. Totally Customizable.. Loving it from within 5 mins of Installing it..
