Darkside evolution v8. As much as cm9, cm10 and aokp are much moar awesome-r than touchwiz, none of them give me at least half the battery life that darkside evo does. In the end, I'd rather have my phone make it through the entire day with normal use than half the day with moderate use.

I've been on the rookie skyrocket jb ROM for about a week and a half now. Other than the nightly boot loop its solid for me.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Used skyrocket jb one for a week. Was a good rom. It had graphics driver issue which caused youtube freezes and it had no video recording as well. Gave a shot to jedi mind trick ics, it's definitely a dd.

My daily is CM9 stable.
And my nightly seems to be CM10 Alpha.
I tried Evo and didn't seem to get the same battery life as the Darkside Telus build, which is a little strange. Then again I do have the Telus version of the phone... starting to think there are differences. Might explain why some people get a working camera with CM10 and some don't. Then again there may not be any correlation whatsoever and I just have bad luck. Leaning towards the latter...

+1 For CM9 Stable, and it'll stay that way til CMX or AOKP is stable enough for my liking.

CM9 stable is my dd. Waiting on CMX to support Netflix then i will switch :beer:

Jedi Mind Trick rom

Jedi Mind Trick V3.5. Very impressive rom, but still waiting for CMX to be more stable to use as my DD.

CM9 scrolling question..

So I Been through the nightlies and rc2 the scrolling seems a bit rough on pages..I thought it was just me so I put it on my buddies sky rocket and same thing he noticed...when I use infamous or darkside scrolling is smooth and quick.
Is there any reason to this?

Cm9 is still under development and no stable release has been made yet. A new kernel may help. I recommend venom or streamline. It's the same reason people haven't had hspap on cm9. It's just not 100 percent perfect. However it is still an excellent daily driver.

Had a similar issue in AOKP...not sure if CM9 has a similar fix...

[POLL] What is your daily driver?

Hey guys, just take a poll as to what your daily driver is. Which ROM you have running the most. You can only pick one. Thanks for your time!
Lol. For the past week, I've been flashing a ROM a day. I wish there was that perfect ROM like Juggernaut 2.3.6 . It had AOKP with MIUI addons and a load of other stuff

Yep I got version 7 with faux 11 underclocked with the voltage app and running smooooth. Battery life is great too.

Ive tried all the major ones, and for ICS based ROMS Jedi Mind Trick v7/v8 and TDJ's ROMS have been the best. That said, after a few days on ANY ICS ROM Ive tried I start getting anomalies that make it frustrating, so for now Im back on Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7. That seems to be my go-to ROM and I have never had one issue with it. I sacrifice a little snappiness, but for me its flawless and bulletproof.
AOKP fan here. I had the milestone 6 for the longest time.
Just trying out JMT since last week until AOKP-JB becomes stable.
Jedi Mind trick is my favorite but I was loving clones and drones when I was on it both are fast and stable

I've been using the latest CM10 nightlies by EricWill ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852105 ) updating almost daily and its been great. Got a few SODs but its mostly been in the morning before I head out and a quick restart as I get in my car is sufficient. Aside from that small bug it's been great with me
Darkside Evolution 3v8! Easily the Rom of the year. Version 4 isn't a slouch either.

Telus ICS Stock Rom for now
I've tried 4-5 roms since i bought my phone 4 weeks ago... and i'm always coming back to my nand backup of my stock rom because there'S always small things i'm not happy with every roms i tried...
Jedi knight 2... One of the best UI with SIII addons but got Launcher freezes 5-6 times a day for 30 seconds...
Clones and Drones... AccuWeather bugs on Lockscreen... ask in Celcius but got temp in Farenheit even with the small C besides and always show wrong city...
Koodo v.4.0.4 v3... this one was almost perfect for me but have poor data speed with Fido on 4G
Jedi mind Tricks V8 ... poor battery life...
But gonna continue to try others and coming back if there's new version of what i already tried...
thanks to all devs for the good work...

What is the most stable jelly bean ROM so far?

Im eager to install a jelly bean ROM to try it out. I can't wait for the official to be released. Which ROM has the most things working such as 4g GPS signal etc?

I'd say the Frosty rom is the best. Everything works. seems like factory. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063
Frosty and paranoid android were both solid for me.
My vote is for ParanoidAndroid. I used it on my Nexus S and it was pretty good. Ability to adjust dpi setting is very useful as this phone can let apps produce very crisp/clear resolution settings.
Frosty for TW and a cm10 for overall stability
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
So frosty v1 is stable enough?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
CM10 hands down.
I haven't had a single problem. Running 09/25 nightly right now
Been running Casper's aokp for a week now. Had two lockups on different builds but other than that no other issues, no flickering either. Running it with ktonz kernel @ 1809. Battery life is comparable to Free & Wicked's ICS roms. It's based off all the latest cm10 builds but with soo many more customization options such changing the background of your notification tray. I've heard good things about codenameandroid too.

Cm10 and aokp

So now AOKP has a RC1 out what do you guys think between AOKP and Cm10 with stability and whatnot. I kinda just want to discuss AOSP roms on here. If there are multiple threads on here feel free to nuke this one from orbit

Someone correct me on this, but none of the aosp/aokp based roms have camera option to save pics to external storage.

Yea that's what I have been reading. I've been running aokp m1 for the past few days and its pretty stable besides a quick flicker upon locking every once in a wile. I think I might wait until a RC for cm10 to come out before trying it

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Well, I've had AOKP for a couple days. First had problems w/4.2 camera (don't know if that has anything to do with AOKP, or if it was just teh camera). Now, after I did a wipe of EVERYTHING and factory reset to AOKP again (4.1.2 Milestone 1) I'm getting Launcher FCs frequently.
Will try switching to Liquid now... If I have trouble with that, then I'll try CM10
every Roms will have their own bugs, bad & good side just keep trying different rom until u find one u like it.

On the Darkside Rom

I haven't posted in a while but my phone is still solid on 3.8 Darkside. Ive used nothing but Darkside since he started development. What happened to the dev? It feels strange using an awesome rom that isnt even in the dev section anymore.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
TDJ moved on. Remember our valued devs are volunteers and hobbyists, and it's to be expected that they will come and go.
But there is an awesome group of devs active on the T989 today, and many excellent ROMS to select from.
I'd recommend that you nandroid your trusty Darkside, then try a clean install of JB. Flash your way through a series of CM, AOKP, and various kangs.
I will be extremely surprised if you don't find a new favorite. The aesthetics, responsiveness and features of the ROMs out today far exceed where we were even back in the summer.
Nandroid is your friend. Go play.

You can actually search sourceforge.net for thederekjay to find his last build.
I had to Odin back to stock after a nameless recovery screwed my phone up for the second time (nothing I flashed would work right). I remembered how much I liked Darkside Evolution and decided to search for it and try it again. It has to be the most stable custom ROM to date. It obviously doesn't have the bells and whistles that the others do, but everything just works. It also looks sweet if you slap Touch0Color and TouchWiz UX on top of it (both are still in the apps and themes section).

I just started using it after all the crappy battery and various problems from some of the JB Roms. Ive used them all I think. Slim beans awesome as far as battery goes and liquid smooth but each still have graphical glitches. 3.8 is the way to go its by far the most reliable TW Rom we got with bulletproof a close second IMO.
I just recently committed to making the switch. I was on Darkside v. 8. I am now using Infamous Resurrection Gangnam Style. Great Touchwiz basedRom. Good battery life. No lags. And it's still active so lots of support etc for this rom.
