Hello everybody
Let me introduce myself a little, as I'm new to the Galaxy Nexus forum.
I'm lippol94, young recognized developer over the I9000 forum The Samsung Galaxy S was and is my first and only Android device, but not for long. I'm about to get my Galaxy Nexus in a week, hence I started reading over and over all the kernel and rom threads to get to know thsi new universe.
While on the ROM side I'm still thinking if choosing CM10 or AOKP, I'm a little more puzzled about kernels.
In the I9000 I knew every kernel developer and specific features of each. Here I'm quite lost :laugh:
Reading around I found 3 kernels which I found suitable for me, basically because they keeps improving themselves every day,
Basically they are
Francisco Franco
Air Kernel
Nyan Kernel
I read very positive feedback on each thread but I'd like to know your experiences. A little face off.
What do you think about them?
I'd like to get replies from those who tried them all, to get a trustable feedback.
what I'm looking for is something with great (and I underline GREAT) battery life.
Obviously without sacrifying performance.
Thank you so much in advance!
I wish you a nice day!
lippol94
hi there
IMO Franco Kernel is the best. and there is app for that very good one.

Why?
I mean, what I'm looking for is something with great (and I underline GREAT) battery life.
Obviously without sacrifying performance.
In addition, I saw Franco kernel is having many problems with keeping settings I apply within his app.
Thoughts?
Francs has the worst battery life..
trinity has the best imo, though that wasn't on your list. a lot of people swear by lean kernel for battery life too
hmm, if not Franco's, maybe faux123's?

Mmh the main reason why I haven't considered trinity is because it lacks of updates since a month. Maybe it's because is super stable / super fast etc but to me it's because he's working on another device (Nexus 7 i think). Is that so good?
No thoughts about air and nyan? Comments on their threads were promising!
Talking about lean, I read about lags (?), slowdowns (?) with his kernel. Maybe that's why it has such a good battery life

To me it's not enough just a name because I could simply write down all the kernel names and pick one by chance
The reason why I decided to ask in this thread is because I want real feedback.

Why update something constantly if it's working perfectly?
I have had no issues with trinity stable 35..
the others I've all found problematic in some way.
I haven't tested lean kernel though I hear a lot about it

I get five hours of screen on time, compared to three with all others I've tried.
exact same settings as well.
i had best battery life both on Franco's and faux123's kernels, and bad on Morfic's kernel, that's why

that goes against every other kernel thread I've read on this topic lol..
So unless you didn't touch settings at all, it is a common consensus that lean and trinity have best battery life
Having tried Franco, Lean, Air and Trinity, I settled on Trinity 1536/384 stable-35 with a simple AOSP JB rom. Haven't had a problem since flashing it, the ROM is smooth and snappy and I have had better life than with other configs/combos. I think Morfic has several experimental builds for Trinity which get updated/changed pretty regularly, the 'no update since a month or more' only applies to the stable version and imho why fix it if it's not broken lol.
What sort of battery life would you consider 'good'? Everyone's usage and device is diff. For me, close to 5 hrs screen on is very good and that's what I get with Trinity. I'd say pick a couple of popular roms and kernels and give them both a shot for a week or so.

Thank you
For great battery life I mean, being able to plug my device off at 7 and being able to get to 21/22 without having to charge it with a mixed usage of 3g/WiFi and Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail running in background all the time.
5 hours of screen on would be great and in line with other kernels but reading on Trinity thread i Saw many people complaining about battery life (referring to experimental though).
The thing is that Trinity thread is so caotic :cyclops: It's hard to find things.
In addition, I might be redundant but I was extremely pleased by this screenshot:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32661-kerneljb-nyan-kernel-beta-3/page__st__20#entry923567
Nyan Kernel.
What makes me tempted by this kernel is the pegasusQ governor, which seems built for multi-core devices.
Thoughts?
as a former i9000 user, i would suggest another ex-i9000 user's kernel: fugumod.
still, there's a lot of threads on this, not to mention that the same kernel can have mixed results on 2 devices, all depends on your usage.

That's why you change the color settings you can use any kernel ap....
I use the Franco app with trinity kernel
Some phones are 'allergic' to kernels with linaro integration..
Probably why my phone only get along well with franco and stutters with anything else.
There's also that ramdisk thingy that i dont quite understand, but if you're using franco's before, make sure u did the necessary steps to release the space that it uses.
Nyan seems to be VERY unstable for my phone. It lag spikes about every 30 seconds for 5 seconds when I play high-end games like modern combat 3. I'm not very sure how much battery it saves you though. But from how it feels, better than franco. I currently use franco's kernel. I haven't had any problems related to graphical performance, but it probably won't save you much battery at all.. very nice performance though.

Loving my GNex, however I've only had it a couple weeks.
There are several kernels out there, and from comparing all of them and reading all the threads as much as I can, they all seem to have relatively similar features... I'm having a hard time picking one.
Is there someone who can clarify the differentiating features of each kernel? Are certain kernels better suited for different ROMs? Do certain ones have compatibility or other persistent issues?
Mainly:
faux123
franco
GlaDOS
jamesbond
Trinity
I've tried faux123 015m (loved faux's kernels on the Sensation, but I had some mobile data issues with it on the GN) and Trinity (latest seems fast/stable, except the color profile was messing with me). I'm trying GlaDOS now. Again, though, I'm not sure what advantages or perks one kernel flavor gives me over the next. Can anyone shed some light?

I have tried them all myself at one time or another and i always come back to GLaDOS. I chose to run this because of the unique and innovative features Ezekeel has developed plus the great battery life. BLX, Vibration control, Touch Wake and of course the Wheatley Governor which was developed for this kernel to give the best performance and battery life, which in fact it does. The GLaDOS control app is great too and Ezekeel is always updating and making it better.
GLaDOS is exclusive to Rootzwiki that why you don't see too much mention of it here unfortunately ... I'm not even sure if Ezekeel lurks around here anymore?
Leankernel for me

Thanks for your responses!
However it looks like people are just posting what they use. What I'm looking for is information on what differentiates each kernel.. what is each kernel's "claim to fame"? From what I've seen, all of the kernels' features look pretty similar.
For example, "X kernel balance performance and battery really well. Y kernel reduces the voltage to the screen to further battery savings. Z kernel is more focused on performance. A kernel allows your phone to make popcorn." etc.
Or are they basically the same?
Thanks blowtorch for giving some information as to what differentiates GlaDOS from the rest

Jamesbond will likely give you best battery life and stability. He has a couple of other kernels with some performance boost. Glados was buggy as hell and some other things but that is for you to decide. Other kernels for me were kind of meh. I honestly dont understand how so many people say this kernel or that kernel is the best or best on battery life when so many tweaks in X kernel add more performance at the cost of mah. I liked glados and its features a lot but it came at a cost too high. Touchwake is a really nice feature in it and i am surprised more people don't ask for it. Another kernel i liked was bamf paradigm but i am not using it. I would like to try that rom again in the future but it wasnt ready for me personally. Havent tried franco's at all. Just seems to be feature packed kernel but for what?

I like francos so far works great with my favorite rom AOKP, buttery smooth, stable as hell, you can go battery saver or performance since you can OC/UV, etc, if you buy the App in play store it works great cuz he updates the kernel oftem and you can use either milestone versions or nihgtlies, and has the option for autodownload and autoflash the lastests updates.
You can change screen color values, as i said oc/uv, change the boot animation, and plenty other stuff..
Thats my 2 cents on your research
Edit: forgot to tell you, he also has a support mail , and if you have any issue kernel related he will answer with a solution if possible.. Report bugs etc

I've been using GlaDOS for the last couple days and haven't had any of these issues. Bluetooth is working perfectly, even over my car's hands-free setup which has been problematic with some kernels, and audio is working perfectly... maybe you were on an older build?
Anyone have any other info? I'm surprised nobody has said anything about faux or Trinity..
Well I guess I'll be the first to represent faux kernel over here. Like that its not over done and no special app is needed to control it and the gamma control from panda board he forward ported is pretty slick if you ask me

Trinity is legendary ... never got around to faux
I'm sticking with CM9 Kernel for now it's as good as the rest IMO plus they are integrating more and more into it ... missing touch wake though from GLaDOS, oh well
I'm mainly looking for battery life now. I don't really notice much difference between most of these kernels in terms of battery life. All of these kernels have good performance without overclocking.
I find that i bounce around from kernel to kernel and in the end when all is said and done no kernel is better than the other and it really comes down to preference.
Hey guys. Just wanted your opinion on what ROM you think is the best out there right now. I have a VZW Nexus and i wanna get into romming. Obviously, there's many choices out there that i can flash, but I'm looking for a ROM that gives me great performance, reasonable battery life, and a decent amount of fine tweaks/customization settings. What do you guys think?

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
is everything working on AOKP? eg vid and camera at high resolution? i cant seem to find anything about them.
I didnt like aokp with Franco. That was my first flash on my GSM nexus but I can't see how that can be much different. The rom does have an amazing amount of customization but it felt sluggish and unstable (sleep of death). I decided to go with bug less beast with glados instead and haven't looked back since.
Currently running smoothly with 3+ hour screen time, 20+ hour total on battery. Moderate usage.

AOKP
Relatively new to flashing etc myself , Tried a good few different roms originally basically a new one every week for 4 to 5 weeks. Since going to Milestone 4 AOKP with Franco, ive effectively just updated everytime there was a new build and loved every second of it. Great UI customisation as well as system tweaks. Currently on Build 36 and Franco nightly r161.
On a similar note not too sure whether to stick with Franco's stable builds or go to the nightly though ? Seemed to get amazing battery life with the stable build but not as great as i'd have expected on the nightlies.

Can someone post a link to the AOKP? I have no idea how to about Kernels though. I just flashed Eclipse last night, and its great.
Aokp.co
Should get the latest ones on that, just click the build then your model and you will get a link to the file.
Kernel flashing is fairly similar to a rom, as I said I'm fairly new too but after flashing your ROM you flash the kernel in the same way, flash the G'Apps and then reboot. Make sure you flash your kernel after your rom to ensure the kernel included in the rom is effectively changed
If Franco is the kernel you are looking to go for there is an App in the store. In the app there is an option to 'Auto-Flash' his kernels.
Very very simple if you don't want to go for the first option, obviously only useful for Franco though.
Does anyone run AOKP with the stock kernel that comes with the ROM? Just wondering..

Well i have been using AOKP for the last 3 months and havent find any bug... all the issues i had with was my fault... guess if it has bugs they would have been showed up by this time huh?
Wow! A lot of AOKP praise here. AOKP is good, but not great in my opinion. I feel it is bloated w unnecessary code, and can make the ROM sluggish (at times). If you want a ROM w every tweak under the sun, go AOKP. I just flashed SLIM rom for CDMA a few days ago with Franco kernel r160, and this is the best my phone has ever ran in terms of battery life and performance, and it has 90% of the AOKP features since the dev cherry picked from their customization options. I highly recommend giving this a shot.
Hey guys. I'd like to know what kernel you think suits you best. I'm looking for both subjective answers and objective answers. Which of the following suits you best?
Franco kernel
Trinity kernel
Faux kernel
Glados kernel
Stock CM kernel
Other
Please post a comment explaining why you have chosen the way you did. Feel free to discuss any kernel and also share your phenomenal tips and tricks.
glados for:
best compromise (for me)for performance\battery
fully featured like many others kernels but.....most of these features came from glados's dev,and then others dev implement it,love liveOC and is the unique with that feature,the dev is very gentle and available,the kernel can be adjusted via the control app,and IMHO is more good that trinity\franco's app for features,dispositions,colors,style etc.
i tried and used all the kernels and buyed all the dev's control app.my choice is glados,after 2\3 months of usage i don't want to came back.the best for my usage\tastes\preferences.
only 2 things that i miss:
a minimal slot of 190\220 mhz
preset pre-configured like franco's app (powersave,music,high power,etc etc..)
The kernel packaged with CM9 is faux, unless the CM team uses faux as a base and changes something in it..
Franco for me, despite some issues he is devoted to making his kernel perfect and his app is really good too for updating. Makes life a lot easier. With Franco's kernel I can say I have hardly ever had an app FC. I've tried other kernels but I just find with Franco's there is just more consistency and when I look at his thread I know what is going on almost instantly. This is my experience. I also like Fugu kernel and Trinity and GLAdos so on occasion I will try them out.
No Lean Kernel? Probably one of the most popular Kernel's out there
IAP Samurai kernel just rolled on the scene and couple of weeks ago. It's in the Sprint Gnex development section. I recommend giving it a try, Earthbound did some real good kernels in the OG Epic. Community and now he's brought his talents to the Gnex. It is based on Faux, but with IAP twists.

I completely agree. Franco/Lean kernel is the way to go. If I had more time throughout the day I'd like to try out the others again, but I don't feel like there's a need. Franco's kernel and app are great!
Well, I am now the proud owner of my Galaxy Nexus and loving every bit of it. Especially, after flashing it to Stock 4.0.4 (yakju) IMM76I (previously was on 4.0.2 yakjujp), I like the improvements and the bettery life has also increased a bit.
Now, as this is my first ever Android phone, I was a bit hesitant with this flashing and rooting things, but somehow I've overcome my fear and flashed it to 4.0.4 yakju and Rooted as well. Now as I've dived into this flashing and rooting things, the custom ROMs are attracting me and I'm seriously thinking of flashing a good ROM. So, guys can you suggest me a ROM that really suits my needs?
Here is what I want from a ROM:
Better battery life (at least that matches the battery life of Stock ROM, if not more than that.) And it's worth mentioning here that I'm not a heavy user, and my battery lasts for 20-21Hrs with Stock ROM.
I like the Stock user interface, so I'd love to flash a ROM that has similar-to-stock interface.
Some added features than that of Stock ROM.
That's all I want.
Now, another question that is confusing me that what is the difference between ROM and kernal? Do custom ROMs come with their kernal? Or do I need to flash one on my own? As I don't have any Android background, descriptive answer will be much appreciated!!
Cm9. Skankwich or just the official cm9. Since your a "newbie" I would just stay in the stock kernel. Once you have some knowledge under your belt you can move onto kernel flashing
Oops roms come with kernels yes... they have too lol otherwise it wouldn't boot. Oh and...

Aokp with Franco Kernel.
Build 38 of Aokp has many of the same features of Cyanogen. But you can flash Milestone 5 of aokp (won't have any bugs and is completely stable, that's what Milestone means) it just won't have all of the features the latest build has.
Aokp comes pre loaded with a much better launcher than stock as well. I believe Nova launcher. It keeps the same look as the stock Ice Cream Sandwich launcher but has a ton of options and tweaks.
Aokp is packed full of features you'll just have to explore yourself. All of the ROM settings are in the "rom control" section in the Settings app.
Make sure to flash the GApps pack right after flashing aokp (most other roms as well), and before rebooting. The Google apps are included in a separate zip file for legal reasons. You need to flash them to sign in with your Google account.
Franco Kernel just makes everything better. Especially if you download the Franco app from the Play store. From that app you can download, flash (install) and control many aspects of the kernel including screen color tweaks to get more accurate color among other things. The app makes the process so easy for beginners.
Also, be sure to make a backup before flashing whatever new rom you flash in case anything goes wrong.
By backup I mean a full system Nandroid backup through Clockworkmod recovery of course.
Let me know if you have any questions!

By the way, both aokp rom and Franco kernel are crowd favorites!
Another feature of Franco kernel allows you to further decrease the minimum CPU speed to 192mhz instead of the standard 3xx (not entirely sure of the number) to help with battery.

Vote for CM9 here. It's still stock like without going too overboard with the extra features.
Aokp has a lot of features but there is a lot going on and CM9 has all of the "killer" features of aokp anyway. Cm9 seems a little faster and overall feeling of the ROM is closer to a stock feel than aokp in my opinion.

Hi all,
I would suggest you the paranoid rom also.
It's a revolutionnary rom that transform your device to tablet.
You have to be rooted and on a CM9 rom before flashing it but it really easy to flash and to use as daily rom.
I won't even bother with the rom suggestion.
Every user is different.
And everyone will prefer something different...
That being said...
Some advice?
a ) Check my sig (post two of the GNex Guide) to learn how to correctly install a rom/kernel.
b ) When you try a rom out...test it for the full day. See if you like it.
If you think you do...make a nandroid (details also in my guide, if needed) that you can restore if the next rom you try isn't your cup 'o tea.
c ) Test Kernels after you've found a rom you like. Again, make sure to keep them on your phone for at least the full day in order to get an unbiased judgement on battery/performance.
All roms look like stock except paranoid Android.
YOU have to try different roms to see which one gives YOU the best battery life. Other people cannot tell you what will give you the best battery life for your usage and habits.
"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
AKOP, with every release has bugs, some pretty big bugs too, i would never suggest it other than milestone releases. Some milestones had bugs too. AOKP has lots of features but you are not likely to use many of them.
Cyanogenmod 9 i will suggest its highly stable and right now they are polishing it for a official stable release.
Kernel for battery life Jame Bond hands down the best.
Give CM9 a try first. If you're aching for more go with AOKP with Franco kernel. You will not be disappointed.

To be honest CM9 will be the OP's best bet... just enough customization to define it from stock and just as stable.

Aren't we all just suggesting roms that we have used and liked that seem to meet the OP's requests?
Or are you suggesting roms you haven't used and/or that you don't like?
Not sure why the fact that I use the ROM I suggested makes me any more biased than anybody else who posted in this thread.
it's not like I'm the developer or something.

The fact you described EXACTLY what your running was biased. I'm running cm9 but I've used it all... and cm9 has always been the most stable. Actually using skankwich.

I'd suggest you to install AOKP rom and francos kernel. If u need battery life and a fast system u should try it!!
Will go for CM9 and then AOKP
Thankx guys for all your valuable opinions, I really do appreciate that!
Now, after reading all the replies, I think, initially i should opt for CM9 or AOKP. So, I'll test them and see which on fits my needs. And as Jubakuba suggested, I'll rather concentrate on finding a suitable ROM for me and then will opt to find a suitable kernal.
Now, as i go to http://get.cm/?device=maguro to get CM9, I've found that they all are nightly builds, so from where can I get CM9 stable release for GN? Also it will be very grateful to you if anyone can provide a link to download AOKP Milestone for GN. And I'm a newbie, so sorry if I sound dumb!!

here is the link to AOKP milestone 5: http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/milestone-5-r20
don`t forget to read the installation instructions (wipe, gapps!)
i am using this too, and it is solid as a rock, whatever some people in this thread are talking about...
soon there will be a stable cm9 release ( http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-code-freeze-has-started), i will give it a shot, as i had good experiences with cyanogen in the past.
with a nandroid backup the way back is pretty easy
A huge caveat of installing custom roms is the hassle of having to remerge your contacts. I have contacts across linked in, Facebook, Gmail, Skype, whatsapp, etc and remerging the contacts is always a pain. If you're in this situation just upgrade to a custom kernel. You get many of the benefits of a custom ROM without having to go through much of the hassle.
Check out the latest milestone of Franco kernel.

The rooted stock LG ICS (v20c) that I have on my phone now is the first ROM that I'm entirely happy with. After some initial de-bloating of the ATT apps and some minor fixes (e.g. GPS), this ROM works beautifully.
Everything actually works, which is not something that you can say for the CM9 nightlies or RCs, where there were problems with flickering, random force closes, etc. The smothness of this v20c update is also considerably better than the CM9 nightlies or RCs.
Actually, after using this ROM, I've lost a lot of faith in the people developing CM for the Nitro HD. They've had so long since the release of the phone, but CM9 is unstable and flawed compared to the official ICS release.
Battery life on the v20c release is great. I have switched back to the stock LG 1800 mAh battery since the Hyperion battery makes the phone so fat.
Here's my battery life after a day of use on the stock 1800 mAh LG battery, with my rooted, CWM-flashed V20C official ICS ROM:

HO!NO!'s kernel undervolts, which means it runs cooler at the same clock speed. Whether you overclock is up to you, but even if you just run at the stock clock speed (1.5GHz), it won't get as hot as it would with the regular CM9 or LG ICS kernels.

Last I knew, the "people" developing CM for the Nitro makes up exactly ONE person, who has a life and work that's NOT doing CM updates...Vs. however big of a dedicated dev team at LG/AT&T working specifically on the Official ICS as their full time job.
So let's make sure we've got the right mindset and expectations.
That being said, if you're saying the rooted v20c is that good, I just might have to give it a try...Then again, the CM10 preview is already out and has gone through a few updates, might be time to check that out too. Hmmmm.

The OP in this thread asked about the best ROM for the Nitro HD, not for excuses as to why CM9 for the Nitro HD is unstable. The fact that there is only 1 person developing CM9 on the Nitro HD does not change the fact that the CM9 releases for the Nitro HD are flawed and often suffer from random crashes or features not working. Having tried many of the CM9 nightlies and both RCs, I can say that none of them are completely stable.
Rooted, de-bloated V20C is by far preferable to any of the CM9 based ROMs for me. In the past 10 days or so, I have not had to worry about a single force crash, random slowdowns, or any random reboots. Everything just works without excuses.

He's not defending the ROM, he's defending the person. Your post came across as a little critical of the developers who work on Cyanogenmod, which rubs people the wrong way (myself included).

And you know what? Given that they've had almost a year since the launch of the Nitro HD, and still cannot make a ROM that is as stable as say, the initial Google ICS release for the Galaxy Nexus, I don't think some criticism is out of line. You can give out excuses all day long, but the end result is what it is...a ROM that feels unfinished.
Now, these are my opinions, with an emphasis on the "my". I came to my conclusions after using various CM9 ROMs on the Nitro HD for a long time. Your opinions may differ. You may think it's acceptable to have a few force closes a day, to have to get a fat extended battery just to make it through a day of normal use, and that's completely fine. But regardless of you or others may think, I stand by my opinion.
i'm guessing 3rd grade.
remember: this thread is about what is the rom that have more stability, performance & battery life... better ui smooth, better support..!!
overall what is the rom that have less problem??
Give reason why your rom is the best!
i invite everybody that share your experince about this phone with the best ROM for you.
996gt2 your post at the beggining is interesting, because you show pictures of your experience.. i invite you to do a video review of lg nitro p930 on ics!!!

It is MY opinion that you should just be quiet and be grateful for these guys that give of the their personal time for free to make these ROMs.
If you want a more stable ROM, go make it yourself.

IMO I like HONO! Full throttle or Bell stock ICS, I'm actually stuck between deciding which one to use. FT is just superb, it's smooth I haven't run into any problems and the customizability is that of CM9 plus a little more; that being said stock ICS has different customizability as well. They both are stable and I haven't noticed much of a difference in battery life, 30-60 mins is not that different when it'll last a day, because you should be charging it at night anyways. I would give development and support to HONO's he works his ass off helping everyone and tinkering for what seems like day and night so that we can get the best out of our phones and he doesn't ask for anything but feedback how to improve, at least buy the man a beer now and then. So I'll name off what I count or value.
HONO! Full Throttle 8.4
Bell Stock ICS 20e(also HONO! CWM)
I don't use the default launcher using APEX so won't comment on UI for launcher.
Performance:
ICS: there is more stability in some areas due to it being stock and taking forever to get released.
FT: like HONO said "why buy a ferrari and only drive 40 with it" overclocked.
both smooth, ICS has alot of bloatware as well as LGs UI, FT is clean and trimmed.
Both have problems with crashing when overheating so not a big deal, noticed FT did better though when it came to overheating or lack thereof.
So I guess I'll delve into features and Aesthetics which is what it really comes down to for me:
ICS has a nice lock screen but personally I like CM9 and there ICS rather than LG UI
FT has the sweet lock screen animation like an old fashion TV
FT has built-in boot to recovery and bootloader
ICS has gestures! total gimmick but they are cool nonetheless (ex: tap sides to move text cursor.)
ICS has the memo pad built in to notification drawer (haven't figured out to use texts, just drawing mode right now kinda dumb.)
FT is more customizable with developer options as well as notification drawer buttons (also has LED flashlight built in.)
FT seems better with auto-correct IMO, I have to tap to correct a lot with ICS (but also means i get to use the gestures more haha)
ICS can switch to WCDMA (Bell) which is nice if you wanna conserve some battery. Offset by FT's under-volt and his timer for wireless search.
ICS can change boot sound animation, you can't for FT (I've spent days trying...) also can change shutdown sound as well.
ICS is easier with choosing ringtone choice (but they both are really simple, ICS allows browsing which is useful)
FT has Awesome BEATS. as well as the analogue clock (I think it adds class)
ICS is colourful vs FT's sleek black and white with blue.
ICS seemed to work better when it came to mass storage through USB, but I also use airdroid a lot as well so not a big deal.
It's really up to what you like, I like things from both as you can tell. I love the gestures on ICS but also like the lock screen on FT. over-clocking is nice and so is the built in recovery, It's useful if you like tweaking and are impulsive and need a new ROM every other week.
If I had the ideal ROM it'd be one that has CM9's interface(sleeker) and over-clock under-volt method. ICS gesture controls, and other quirky aspects, CM10's Google Now and lock screen with CM9's screen turn off animation.
I think CM10 is the best
I kinda don't understand how anybody actually prefers GB stock to the other options on here. I'm on CM10 despite its problems.
