all of them. try whats available, find which kernel your phone likes or that serves your purpose the best. there is no this is best answer. its different for everyone. personally, i use trinity kernel, and im a trinity pimp. but that doesnt mean that will be the best for your phone. try/use them all, make a decision then.

trinity is faster, better default screen color, smoother. but, again, every phone will have a different experience, thats why you should try them all out then decide.

I would like to know as well. Is there quite a bit of difference in battery life as well. I've been using LeanKernel for JB but haven't tested it much yet

[Q] Rom with great battery

Hi all I'm still very new to this whole rooting stuff.
I'm using aokp build 38 this is the 1st Rom I've used
And lately I'm having a much better battery life than stock. But I just want to ask if there's a much better Rom out there that has great performance and battery.
Also could you name the Roms and what are so good about them?
Thanks in advance.

Everyone has a different opinion on this. There is no one rom that gives each phone good battery. Your best bet is to just try them out yourself.
Oh okay. Thanks what would you recommend?

I personally like liquid smooth ROM and Airkernel
I'd recommend the redemption Rom.
The Dev claims that he is only fixing errors created by Google.
Ans he's right. 2 hours screen time v 4 hours is the way to go.
It's also notably faster and doesn't randomly reboot to often.
He does a video changelog for his rom. Which I believe is a characteristic of a dev who is proud of his work.
But whatever you use. Use it for at least a week.
Would be good to also mention what phone model. Gsm,Verizon,sprint.
With these kind of threads, you might as well just ask what everyone's favorite ROM is or what ROM they're currently using. You'll only rarely get a different answer, and there are already threads for all three subjects to begin with.
Guy above me has a point.
But, AOKP B39 and Franco M4 works wonders for me.

Other than possibly in benchmarks, where's the performance difference between AOKP and CM9? I've tried both and currently run AOKP and I didn't notice any difference it performance between the two.
MCR from Paul Obrien over at Modaco. Together with the Franco kernel. Great performance and battery-life

Toro Custom ROMs?

So I recently got my Toro to 4.1 with CM10 and I like it but at the same time there are small aspects I don't. Are there any other good ROMs that anyone can suggest?
Also I am looking for a good Kernel. Amphibliam suggested Trinity but not sure how comfortable I am with the overclock it does. Any suggestions there?

How do you like them? And what all is added into just stock AOKP. I think some of what I don't like about CM10 is all the extras like ringtones I won't use and notification stuff. I tjink I like the stock boot too cause the CM10 on is a lot if I have to restart my phone.

I can't see past stock jelly bean after flashing countless ROMs

Please can someone try and change my mind because I'm only disappointed and let down every time I try one .

What exactly are you disappointed about? Try the latest official builds of cm10 or aokp. Not a nightly or a kang.. an official build.
Try Paranoid, it looks pretty wild!
SHHHH!!!! You're not allowed to say that!
I've done the same as you. The only change I've made to stock is run nova launcher to make it a bit more purdy and personalized.
Minco is pretty nice since it's really close to stock but faster, but in the end I'd rather just run stock for peace of mind (not that Minco was unstable).
Stock based roms perform the best in my opinion. Although Bamf Paradigm and Wasabi Miui run well for me, if I run them with trinity 1344 kernel.
IMO It seems like CM and AOKP stay in the nighties phase for way too long, and bugs and stability issues take too long to fix. This has been the case on most phones I have owned. They are great innovative roms though. I find it rare when a Rom with loads and loads of features runs as good as stock based roms do. I love having features, but performance, stability and battery life are above all features for me. I can just find mods myself anyways and add them as I need.
If stock is what works best for you, run stock, there's nothing wrong with that.
Why do you want people to change your mind?

The last ROM flashed was team baked black ROM it was OK but the force issues became very annoying .I was just asking am I doing something wrong when flashing ? I don't seem to get the same user experience from using jelly bean.There is only one feature I've used that isn't stock is fast reply which I think is brilliant and will definitely be in 4.2

Fast reply, I don't even know what that is but anyway, Android comes down to user preference, if you enjoy stock, then rock it dude, I've tried only a handful of roms here but stock gives the most solid performance 9 out of ten times. granted I'm running Slimbean now, but I like to flash every two weeks and this rom is pretty great aside from bootup time XD.

i just hit 260h with no reboots. custom built from src, JRO03R, maguro. rock stable so far. gcc 4.7.0.
just saying, stock can be rock stable, and still be fast and responsive, if you're willing to tweak it and spend time testing it.

I've tweaked till the cows come home but I think Google have totally cracked it to be honest and early reports about 4.2 seem to suggest they've went one more step in terms of speed and look .The quick reply feature is in cm10 when you receive a SMS you get a pop up window at anytime so you can instantly reply ,must be enabled tho .

I decided to give the latest Paranoid Android a try. I am running it with the latest franco stable milestone 5. Its running pretty excellent with no bugs so far. This is an instance of a non stock ROM running pretty well. They did good on this 2.17 PA build.

The CM10 nightlies are usually a little buggy. And I heard bluetooth doesn't work too often. I usually switch between CM10 and AOKP roms. Using LiquidSmooth right now just to try something different.

You don't have to wipe data if its the same rom, but I use Titanium Backup when switching to different roms.
Rom: LiquidSmooth RC9
Kernel: KT747
so far so good.
What jelly bean rom are you using? And why?
I am using cm10 stable and love it and the reason why is that I'm a newbie it is the one pour stock android I can get on my Samsung galaxy s3. I think my next phone will be the google nexus 5 when ever that comes out or a new galaxy nexus.
I'm using the latest cm10 nightly and it has some glitches here and there but it's solid for most part.
I'm using Serenity. It's a port of JB from the Galaxy Note II.
Why this one and not something else? I wanted to keep the Touchwiz feel for a while longer and I've used Serenity ROMs in the past on a different device.
Using CM10. Bass over bluetooth doesn't work so I dropped back to an older build. Even the older ones still work fine. Running leankernel. Couldn't be happier with my phone!

You did install the kernel, you just didnt know it. The kernel gets installed with the ROM. But you can flash a different kernel at some other point if you want to. I generally find the stock kernels work well for me

I'm running BlackBean with LeanKernel all apps inverted along with inverted JB 4.2 keyboard. Why? I used BlackBean on my old Nexus S, inverted stuff saves a ton of battery life on our SAMOLED screens, the combo is overall damn smooth and the kernel also helps to save that battery life while maintaining buttery smoothness. Couldn't be happier.
LiquidSmooth RC9 with leankernel. Seems to be working pretty good so far. A couple of complaints here and there (had an issue with phone crashing every time I received a call, some minor annoyances with music playback) but for the most part it's very speedy and stable.

Thank you. Have you tried this kernel yet? In your opinion is this the best kernel for CM9 and our device or are you using JB like most of everyone else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
no offense, but it takes about 30 seconds to flash a kernel. Why don't you try a few and see which one works the best for you? Everyone's experience is going to be slightly different.
I flashed two different kernels before picking one, and after that I added some init.d scripts afterward that improved battery life over the stock kernel settings.

Unfortunately for your situation I am using JB like the rest because I find it more up-to-date, but I have heard really good things about the kernel I posted. Plus, with a title like that, who wouldn't flash it?

I would rather have stability than bleeding-edge any day! Contrary to my claim for the need of stability, I am going to give MIUI a shot. I tried it out when I had my G2x but there were some bugs that made that rom unusable as a dd for me. Hopefully my experience with MIUI will be much more pleasant with the S2!!
I'll flash the kernel later and see what happens. Even though I'll be giving MIUI a test run.... I always end up going back to Cyanogenmod. Always!

I'm very disappointed to hear that! MIUI is so sleek and sexy! Why is it so damn hard to get working? ... or is there just a lack devs for that ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
When I was running MIUI my only problem was not being able to shut off the capacitive lights. I had no problems with bootloops or anything of that sort.
I get bootloops and/or camera crashes with the latest JB MIUI and horrible call quality on my end with the last ICS based MIUI. It's odd that the call quality is fixed with the JB MIUI and busted in ICS, should be the other way around lol.
