[Discussion]What ROM are you using and why?

This isn't really a question, but a discussion of what ROM you are using and why, that''s why I don't think this should be in the Q&A section.
I've tried a few ROMs, from LiquidSmooth to AOKP and I've tried a few kernels as well, from Glados to Franco and I've made up my mind.
I think AOKP is the best ROM right, and Milestone 5 being the best build of AOKP. It has a good battery life, awesome performance, and a massive amount of settings. I though about mentioning CM9 first, since it also has good battery speed and awesome performance, but it doesn't have all those features I need.
The best kernel to go with AOKP is undoubtedly Franco's kernel and his best build is the Milestone 3. I have tried Imoseyon's kernel, Trinity kernel and Galdos kernel and Franco's is still the best one. Also having Franco's kernel updater app makes everything even better!
Of course, this is all personal, which means this is what I think and you may have a mix that work better for you. I just though I'd share my input. Now, please share your input.

BAMF Paradigm or my own AOSP build. I don't mess with kernels much past what comes with rom (Not to say others shouldn't). I have been using imnut's pbj kernel the last few days, however.
Reasoning: Not so many tweaks that they end up conflicting with each other, time was taken to use proper signing keys, and the modifications are thoroughly tested before release.
I don't tell people what to use, as I let them make up their own mind. Just know I don't use anything I deem poor quality.

Got my nexus one week ago. flashed the most popular Roms here (but cm9) and was kinda disappointed. Coming from a galaxy s2 with roms full of bugs I expected the nexus roms to be stable because of the open nexus. But most of the roms been unstable and buggy for me too.
Now I found a good combination of Rom and kernel:
Bamf and glados kernel.
So far the most stable and battery saving combination for me. Using it since 24 hours and no FC or freezes so far. Think I'll stick with it.
Mods are cool too I just don't like the quick settings look in the notification bar and the not modable power menu. But I can live with that.

The quick settings take a bit to grow on ya. I didn't care for them at first but find them essential now. This coming from someone who is part of the team

It's gonna be real hard for me to adapt with another ROM other than AOKP, if I ever switch to some other ROM ^^

AOKP Milestone 5, but I'm switching to the Paranoid Android. Love the 'hybrid' tablet/phone mix

I'm currently running Liquidsmooth with Imoseyon's kernel. I was planning to try a lot more Roms and kernel combos than I currently have but been a bit too busy lately to test each one thoroughly. I'm happy with Liquidsmooth, it has very few issues and I'm getting 2 days battery life (minimum) with moderate usage.
Next time I get a decent chance I will try out a few more

Aokp franco.
Most of all other roms take features from aokp. Like liquid smooth who renamed rom control to liquid control

Ditto, aokp m5, Franco m3....until somebody makes something better!

Sourcery and stock kernel I love the on the go customization without having to reboot and this from brings back great memories of my d1 since I ran it on their forever
for me, by me and I love you

Bugless Beast. Its just like the name says. Never had a single problem with it in 5 months.

Miui v4 just because they rock!

Franco kernel and aokp here. Haven't upgraded to milestone 5 yet. What governors are you guys running?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I'm using liquid smooth with the provided kernel. USB tethering isn't working but the lightweight and zippy feel of the from beats everything out there. I also have a nandriod of Paranoid Android, miui.us, Imm30b, and aokp just in case they improve enough to be worthy of a couple weeks on my phone. The aokp launcher IMHO hesitates too much.

I tried almost everything we have for now and stick to Modaco ROM because it's the smoothest of all, other roms are greatly customisable like CM9 or AOKP but they all lag here and there and i can't stand it/ The battery life is almost similar in all roms and it depends more on kernel you've chosen. I'm fine with franco milestone3. However I don't use nightlies because every of them gave me a random reboot at least once.

To each their own. I am not asking you to.

I have been rocking Bamf for the last few weeks. Really good with maybe 1 fc. Stock kernel wasn't giving me great battery so testing out Bond kernel right now. Getting slightly better battery results.
Have also tried Liquidsmooth, Modaco, and cm9. All pretty good but not as stable I find.
Have never tried Aokp. Crazy I know.

I know, but being the ROM freak I am, I'll probably end up flashing som other cool looking build
Right now, though, I'm satisfied with AOKP.

I use the Modaco rom with Franco kernel m3. Modaco is running since 3 months and I can't complain about anything.

AOKP and MHL

Ive got 2 galaxy nexus', and 2 generic mhl adapters.
1 from was running build 39 (or something around there) with francos latest kernel. I try the MHL adapters and neither work. I flashed a JB rom and it still doesnt work.
All it does is send my phone into an endless boot loop.
So the second phone is brand new and bone stock. I plug in the adapter and things work great. I figure it must be some hardware issue. I proceed to flash AOKP (milestone 6 stock kernel). I go to plug in the adapters and neither work. It just sends me through a bootloop again.
Ive tried all different combinations of plugging in the HDMI cord, turning on this, switching that, plugging in the power cord, etc... Nothing works.
Is it AOKP? Id rather not waste the money buying the official adapter if it wont work either.
Any suggestions? I really need MHL but I didnt buy the galaxy nexus to run a stock rom.
BTW, both adapters work on my rezound and as I said, also worked on the new one fresh out the box.

Why not try a different ROM like CM and see if MHL works? If it works with other custom ROMs, you can then ask AKOP if they'll have MHL support in the future. If they won't then it's time to find another ROM.

Try a different kernel. Sometimes that makes all the difference in communicating through other interfaces (ie Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, MHL, etc). I use leankernel.

Wow I can't believe that that's all it was. Thanks. I've read multiple threads on mhl not working and never has your suggestion came up.
It does make me wonder why it worked on the stock rom though. Anyways, as long as it works I'm happy. Thanks again.

Woa woa, what was that? Now U say its working on JB AOKP?
I own an S2 and my AOKP ROM didnt support it, dont remember the kernel, now on Aberration ROM with Siyah kernel and works badly
What is that of fast charge setting?

CM9 Stable vs CM10? Which should I switch too?

Right now I'm on the leaked Verizon 4.0.4 (IMM30B) so I can never really get back on a update path without a full wipe. My plan was to wait till the first Stable CM9 and then go through the hassle of the full wipe, and keep updated with the nightlies. But that was before Jelly Bean was released and it was decided that CM9 Stable would be the last CM9 release before working only on CM10. I've got a couple questions...
Is CM10 stable enough to be my daily driver? What's the difference between CM10 rom's that are released by XDA users compared to the official CM10 nightlies (that I don't think are being released yet, I'm guessing compiling the source is the only official option so far?)?
One last question, I heard Jelly Bean or possibly just CM10 had a problem with MHL? I've got an AppRadio2 and need MHL for it to work. Although I've also heard Jelly Bean and AppRadio2's have an entirely different set of major issues...
Thanks

I have been using JB for over a month have used about 5 different versions and really like Euroskank CM10. I am not all that knowledgeable as far as the back end stuff goes but on the face the CM10 versions seem very similar. Brint from CM has a version that was last updated a few weeks ago but there is not an "official" CM release yet.
I would recommend trying a few out to see what you like but to answer your question, there are ROMs out that are certainly stable enough for a daily driver.
I am on 0811 Euroskank CM10 with 0726 gapps and have no complaints.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I dunno about CM 10, but if you're interested in something else, I highly recommend AOKP Nightly Super stable, really smooth/fast and you can overclock to 1.8Ghz
PM me, if interested..

The AOKP nightlies are a blast to use.

What all affects MHL?

Currently on AOKP Dizzythermal's 5 Nov nightly - basically milestone 1 with like four more merges. Leankernel 4.5.0 exp 3 - undervolted. V6 supercharger installed.
Last time I used MHL I was on AOKP 4.1.1 and whatever leankernel was out three weeks ago. It worked then. Just can't figure out why it won't work now....

To all the AOKP Lovers out there

I havent had the sgs3 for too long I am currently running the latest jb mr1-build 5. I tried Jamisons march 15 build and it is just as good. I do love being on the bleeding edge of things but right now I need my phone to be stable and I cant keep switching roms and stuff. So I ask you what is the most stable AOKP rom for this phone in your opinion. I figured I woulf start with JB milestone 1. I would rather not go to ics unless it is dramatically better. I know that The ICS version of AOKP had alot more features for the sgs2 but I think that since this device has JB from the factory offically it should be just as stable. And I am not saying mr1 build 5 is not stable but it keeps freezing and having random reboots and the phone part keeps freezing. Other things I can handle but right now I need my phone for business and cant have it messin with me.
Thanks for your opinions

I'm running Jamison's Mar15 build with ktoonsez KT747 kernel. It's solid for me. No issues so far. Have you tried his LTS build, which is stable build that he put out for those not wanting to flash the nightlies?

Anything from Jamison is going to be stable. I'm running his 3/18 ROM and haven't had any problems.

Thanks for youyr opinions. I was using the latest builds but I kept haveing some issues with the phone dialer part. Nothing really major. Usually I am the guy who is up all night waiting for the latest to come out. But at the moment I need no issues so that is what I am looking for. I found it with AOKP JB milestone 1. It is 4.1 so it reflects what stock is. I find that once a phone gets an update to say 4.1 from 4.0 the AOSP roms get more stable. I dont know if it is true or if it makes sence to anyone it is just something I noticed. So far I havent had any issues with AOKP JB milestone 1. As soon as I can I will go back to the nightlies and 4.2 but for now its 4.1 for me. Again thanks for the input I never really do anything without asking this community. Amazing how much I have come to trust a bunch of people I never met before but I do.

Another good one is the LTS release, pretty darn stable and solid battery. AOKP is definitely my fav custom AOSP

official build 5. build 6 freezes and drains battery -__-

Weird that you're getting freezes and resets using JB-MR1 Build 5. I've been using it for about a month with no problems at all. Solid as a rock. Build 6, as has been said, is kind of flaky. Although to be fair, it is a known issue for our phone.
US Galaxy S3 variants (d2s) may be unstable due to the new 3.4 based kernel

This is my first experience with AOKP. I had been running stock (rooted) since I got the phone 6 months ago, and I probably wouldn't have moved off of it except I got caught in a freeze/reboot loop and had to do a factory reset. On my Nexus One, I was a big CM 7 fan. But with all the reported issues with CM 10.1 on the GS3, I decided not to even try it.
