I've lol'd at it before and I'll lol at it again!
LOL!
Dont waste time on trying all the ROMs as everybody suggests here. Lifes too short!
Its just too time consuming. Even with Titanium Pro and similar stuff.
My personal recommendation:
Install different launcher than stock (Apex if you like stock, Nova with a bit of 3D). Try to use.
Root! Use it a week or two. See if just rooting satisfies you.
Install franco kernel. Actually you can do this in the first place.
Install AOKP ROM. That one is like a default at least for me. Reflash the franco kernel. Because ROM will overwrite it.
That combination will give you a feeling of custom Rom + kernel. AOKP comes with Nova launcher. Make it default and it will give you a totally new experience. But keep in mind that you dont need root, custom rom to test different launchers.
if he's asking these kinds of questions, i say stock rom+stock kernel.

Try slim ics and franco kernel r160. Best combo i have found yet!

I wonder why still nobody made a simple table with rom comparison. A simple matrix with roms listed and features.
Features like: android version, kernel, customizations, launcher, what has been added, what removed.
Make it wiki and people will add their opinions in no time. Even with screenshots.

There is nothing as best. I tried many ROMs and kernels. Everytime I came back to
a. Slim + Franco MS 3 + Apex launcher
b. Slim + Trinity (if you find blue tint interesting) + Apex
Slim is maintained by 1 person and he responds to most queries himself. Great combo for my needs, hope you find yours soon.

Hi,
I have AOKP M5 installed. Just watched the Slim ICS video review on Youtube and I must say that I didn't find any differences between AOKP and Slim ICS.
The differences are really minor if there are any at all.

Yes you are right with only minor differences. However, for some reason, when I reduce dpi in aokp or anyother ROM to 280 or anyother value, market starts behaving wierd. Slim is the only ROM that lets me change dpi without colliding with any other app.

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.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone has thoroughly tested both Cyanogenmod 10 and AOKP with Jelly Bean. If you have, what are the performance differences, as well as the default theming, and most importantly, battery life. I'm currently on Bugless Beast which has no modifications, so I'm not really interested in which has more features, because I'm sure they're both full of them. Currently I get around 2 hours of screen on time (CDMA Nexus), which I consider good, so If you've experienced more than that on either of these roms, please let me know. I plan on switching to one of them when I receive some good reviews. Thanks

1) Make a backup of your current ROM
2) Flash either AOKP or CM10
3) Try said ROM out for ~1 week
4) Make backup of that ROM
5) Flash next ROM and try it out
*** NO ONE can tell YOU what ROM is going to run best on YOUR phone. You use your phone different then other people and their experience may not be the same as yours***
This is not meant to be rude, but just the dead honest truth.
Seriously, if you're not into customizing, stock. Stock ROM, stock kernel, just stock. Unless you have Verizon since there's no JB update I don't think
If you really want either of them, here's my "short comparison"
AOKP: AOKP is probably one of the most customizable ROM out there. It has all the settings that I personally care for and use a lot. On top of that, faux kernel helps this ROM run like a boss! Not a smoothest ROM though to be honest. Also not all the features from ICS is in JB yet, so keep that in mind.
CM10: This also has a lot of customization, but not as customizable as AOKP. (That's only by few features though). CM is known for how stable it is. I personally had no issue with CM when running it on my GSM phone. However, there isn't stable version yet.

I never tried CM9, but if it's anything like CM10 M1, AOKP Jelly Bean latest build has a bit more features. But I could personally care less for. You should just backup your ROM and try AOKP if you ask me. If you don't like it, you can simply restore.

Yeah, but CM is a bit more stable in my taste. But nothing to write a book about AOKP is very stable, like you said.
You can't judge a rom if it isn't labeled as "stable" by the dev.
I am using AOKP since the
early ICS builds and i am using their JB versions now. They have tons of customization (and much more to come) and although they are considered nightlies (actually they are weeklies or so ) they are pretty stable and fast.
I have always used franco kernel with it and it is just great.
I currently use AOKP build 4 with franco r281, a black wallpaper, black theme and auto brightness. I get 4 hours of on screen time using the extended 2000mah battery. Besides the on screen time the rom is very battery friendly, with no random wakelocks.

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.

Hi!
This is my first post on the xda Forums; I've just been a lurker for a while now. I am still learning the ins/outs of Smartphone modifications/rooting/roms etc, so forgive my noobyness.
I've recently (two days ago) Rooted my Rogers S3, and Flashed Paranoid Android 2.55 Onto it. I'm loving it! However The battery life is something I'm not too keen on, so I've been lurking google for hours upon hours, forums etc, and I'm seeing that a popular Kernal people are using to cut down on battery drainage + Smoothen things up, is LeanKernal.
+
Now, I've poked around quite a bit, and I've read through something like 75+ pages of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845836
But just for the sake of not Bricking my phone / Digging a hole I'm not educated enough to get myself out of; I'd like to ask:
Is LeanKernal what I am looking for/compatible with, my P.A flashed Rogers S3?
Or any other tips for me?
Much appreciated!
Lean kernel is compatible with AOSP ROMs. The developer should have a clearly-marked download link.
That being said - if you can't find the answer you're looking for by yourself, don't flash it. It's very easy to brick a device by making one small mistake.

Don't apologize. We all start somewhere. When I get off work I'll look into which lean kernel you can use. Give ktoonz a couple charge cycles to see how it's working before you start tweaking any of the performance settings.
