I just traded my samsung skyrocket for the nitro
so far, i'm loving it. screen is awesome, But my skyrocket had ICS which is really smooth
The nitro is rather chunky in apps and launcher.
So which rom do you guys recommend?
Andasa's Nitrogen ROM. Or hono cm9 throttle v6. Both rock.

The only one I've tried so far is the CM9 RC1 and I love it.
So far I've used every rom available for our phone, including the original non-cwm flashable ICS leak which I had to debrick to get to another rom. I would say the best so far Ho!No!'s Full Throttle v6 (fast and awesome) and the stock ICS leak (not as fast, still awesome, very stable). I like being able to Oc my phone but find myself missing several features from the leak when I'm on FT....

You got the link for Ho!No!'s Full Throttle v6 ?
AOKP milestone 6 is awesome. My new favorite. I think it was just posted yesterday, I'm getting great battery and performance with it.

The link for V6 is on page 8 of the Full Throttle thread in the development section. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache before AND after flashing in CWM. Dunno if all of it is completely necessary but it generally makes things much smoother. You'll also need to flash gapps in order to get the play store, YouTube, etc. It can be downloaded via Rom manager or found via Google search, just use the newest one available.

Right now I'm on some random rom. Don't even remember what. But.I'm rooted and clear for flashing.
I don't want ICS or JB, because the battery usage is ridiculous. GB works just fine, I suppose..
Now, I like themes.. I especially hate that the notification bar is black. I like my phone to have a good theme to it..
I was gonna download "new senzations" 2.3.6, but my computer won't download from the site. Says there's an active download. Go look at it, it's pretty much what I want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352405
Can anyone suggest a good, stable rom that supports themeing, or can someone download new senzations and link me to a dropboxed copy of it? Please? thank you all!

I've been on ICS roms with this phone for some time now, but when I first rooted my phone and exclusively stuck to GB roms until I was a little more comfortable with everything, my favorite was Blazer 4.0 and I also recall it having quite a few themes out there to choose from. As far as overall performance and variety of themes, that's the one that sticks out in my mind.

I remember trying blazer 4.0 and changing the dpi, and seeing some graphical issues in the notification bar.. maybe it's been worked past by now? I'll backup and give it a shot. Thank you!

I want to run a super simple and clean GB 2.3.7 Rom on my EVO 4g and im looking for recommendations.
I used to run SalvageMod w/tiamat 3.3.7sbc and loved it, everything worked perfectly. I cannot find a download of it anywhere though.
I dont really like any of the ICS ports and i hate the stock ICS email app and still really love the stock GB email app.
I would prefer something other than Cyanogen and the terrible battery life i get out of it...

I'm using Official slim bean 3.1 with lightning zap kernel and I'm getting average 4 hours of screen time. My favorite rom so far!
CM10 Nightlies. I always get the most out of my battery out of it. Yet, the call quality on them kinda suck. People keep saying i'm breaking up while on a call.
Just to add I'm currently running slimstar and its pretty smooth on my end hasn't settled yet though

Depends what you are asking for. If you want performance, usually CM10. If you want battery, I'd also say CM10. For massive amounts of preferences go with PACman ROM.
Has anyone tried both cory's mod and slimstar?

All Star V7. Oddly enough I had to flash the rotate fix on it but otherwise great. I tend to get between 4-5hrs of screen time (tested on a plane flight from Dulles to Vienna) per battery.
Slim Bean All Star v5 the best so far...

I am running slim-star! I really like it. new build is 26.1 ... Currently re-flashing though because it wouldn't detect my network o__o so I couldn't call anyone.
ROM from GS2USR
I flashed almost all the ROMs and the best one so far is the "[P?+Aokp+Cm] P.A.Cman True All in 1 ROM[01-03-13]" by GS2USR . Using v 19.0 currently.
Very fast/ snappy, no bloatware, has all the options you can imagine. ANd everything works great. I went to other roms for change, but kept coming back to this for smooth sail experience.
Good luck brother !
Aokp. Its virtually bug free.

Best T989 ROM Setup
Based on the advice of others who posted, I tried Slim Star v1.26, updated OTA today to v1.27. It is the best of all I tried for T989. No call echo, which was the deal breaker on a few JB roms. No WiFi issues, which I had with the latest CM10 nightlies. Here's the whole sequence of what I end up doing, after a lot of trying things
Flashed Slim Star ROM
Flash the Nexus boot anim from here
Flash Walkman.zip forget where I got that one from LOL, it was in the "Extras" or "Add-Ons" section of one of many ROMS I tried
Flashed latest ASD Kernel (probably overkill I know but I have good luck with this flash as far as eliminating Echo)
Bonus that ASD Kernel flash script does a cache wipe and dalvik wipe and reboot for me, so I do it last (3 less things I have to do in CWMR lol)
Wait 10 min (hardest part LOL)
Reboot, wait 1 min
Set up Google Acct but don't restore phone! Once I accidentally didn't uncheck Restore Phone and it won't let you go back! I had to start all over LOL
Slim Star comes with an app called Update Me, full of Awesomeness. I used the Add-ons menu in there to download a Extras.zip and it's own Slim-Gapps, reboot to Recovery and flash both of those
Today Slim Star did an OTA update of itself to 1.27, dirty flashed that, then set default keyboard to Android because I have to have gesture texting! It just never stops getting more Awesome! :good:
Also Holo Launcher that comes with Slim Star did a Play store update of itself to v2.01. Nice launcher that comes with Slim Star, I set as default, has really good solid Settings organization, never "forgets" my settings like some ROMs did, also wrap around Home screens which I missed for awhile. And it doesn't try to be Phablet, which personally for me I didn't like about some ROMs.
I then disable the following Apps that I don't use (don't know if this is a good idea or not, but it seems to work)
Apollo (I use Walkman)
Google Partner Setup
Google Play Music
Music
Picasa Uploader
Picasa Web Albums

You can customize things and it is faster. Flash it and see. If you don't like it restore your nandroid

I think it's on par with stock rooted. I tried v2 and v3 and it's just not that big of a deal. It doesn't seem worth it.
I used to run FreeGS3 on my first S3 (from ICS 4.0, before it got stolen) and it was the best of the best. Very lean and great battery life and very nice involved developer. Then it started getting more and more "feature" wise with things i considered silly fluff, but most were optional which i liked anyway, pick what you want or not.
After replacing my S3 a month ago, i decided to run stock TouchWiz rooted and have kept it that way ever since. Same battery life, fast, stable, solid.
In my opinion, stock rooted is what i find the best. But if ask me what the best custom ROM is out there, i'd still recommend FreeGS3.

It's really lean and fast but I say make a nandroid back up flash rom and try it for your self if you don't like it restore your set up
My very first Rom I flashed was FreeGs3 by Clark44 and I very much enjoyed it. I flashed the newest one about a week ago, ( I'm a self confessed flashaholic) and I know for a fact the wi-Fi tether works. It's a nice Rom I would recommend it
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I too ran stock rooted for a while before picking freegs3. I love this Rom. It is basically a stock tw rim with added features that you can choose to install or not at flash. It is also very customizable via morphology..you can change toggle colors, toggle background, status bar background, battery, Wi-Fi, 3g cell icons and colors. You can also customize your dialer background and colors. There are also full themes or you can change just what you want.
You have gotta try this Rom...I get amazing battery life with the stock kernel. It's also amazingly fat and smooth. I get no fcs.
Hope this helps.

freegs3 issue
I have a stock rooted GS3. I used odin and had CWMR. I downloaded TWRP ran that and made a backup. Then when i tried running the Freegs3 rom following the instructions from qbking77's video. I did everything like in the video and saw all the same results he was seeing in the video but when it was finished and it went to reboot i didnt see the sonic logo and my phone went right back into TWRP. I tried rebooting a few times but it always right back into recovery mode. Finally I wiped everything again and restored to my back-up of the stock root. Has anyone seen or heard of this before? Anyone have any tips of suggestions of what i may be doing wrong? any help would be appreciated. Thanks
which one do you recommend?
