ICS recommendation for a bud of mine..

I got a buddy with an epic touch. He wants ics really bad. I own a tmo gs2 (I know I know :-/) I was wondering which of the ics roms you fine folks have flashed is most "fully functional" and good enough as a stable daily driver. My thanks in advance.

Btw it doesn't need to be aosp. Tw is probably preffered since that's what he's used to. Besides we all know the different is negligible

He could start with FE07 leak. It's ICS with TW and its pretty stable compared to some of the earlier leaks. It's an easy flash, too, thanks to sfhub's odin. You can find it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642564

That is a hard question to answer as everyone has a favorite for different reasons. They are all pretty stable. Calkulins E4GT 2 is one of the more stock looking with a few battery saving tweaks. Blend ICS "Goodness" has really nice themed ics look and has very similar tweaks. AOKP Roms are fairly stable abd have built in ROM Control which is very nice. I'm using HyDrA tablet hybrid ROM and its stable, but because of the dpi settings the market sees the phone as a tablet and you have to change your dpi to download regular apps from the market.

Have him check out Blu Kuban. It's a simple install, has a ROM updater and good support.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625535
There are a number of really amazing ICS ROMs, Anakonda, Venum Ice, Nocturnal Venum, actually anything from Teams Nocturnal and Venum, also anything from Calkulin, agat63 has some really sweet, clean work as well and you can never go wrong with sfhub's one-clicks.

Another vote for fe07 leak then if your friend likes it send them here to figure it out on their own.

FE07 will be your best option for a beginner. Don't go to AOSP until source kernels are released. FE07 will be the most stable. CM9 is very stable too though.

Wow you guys are really far ahead. All we got is skyrocket ports and the tmo ics leak that just dropped lol. Kudos gents.

ive tried the leaked builds, Hydra (great concept, but small font even with tweaks, also app incompatibilities), blukuban, ive tried them all.
For me aokp is the best one out of them all. Im really enjoying it. works and looks great

and you are using AOKP as a daily driver?
No random reboots etc?

The reason for this is because of the kernel for ICS not being released from Samsung/Sprint yet. It's pretty simple to do all the regular CWM functionality on an ICS based ROM though - Use Odin (or highly recommended: Mobile Odin from the play store, which doesn't require a PC) and put the el26 CWM kernel on your phone (it's found many places, like the AOKP OP for example). It wont boot up with this kernel so just boot into recovery and from there you can backup, flash themes, wipe things, and then to get back to your ROM simply flash an AOSP tweaked kernel - also readily available (in AOKP OP again).
Certainly a few more steps than we were used to on GB Roms but it's totally worth it to me. ICS is a massively better experience for me so the few hoops to jump through are worth it. When that source kernel hits (any day now) it will be the land of milk and honey.

No such thing as a best ROM. Make a backup, try the ROM for a bit. Rinse and repeat for another ROM. 50 different people will give you 50 different answers as to whats "best".

Just fukin flash. Too many of these threads.

I have been using rooted stock but I am waiting for CM10 or JB AOKP RC at least, it will probably be a while but it will be worth the wait.
I am kind of done with the flashing a ROM everyday thing. Unless it is a nightly, where i don't have to redo my whole setup again.

This is the truth. Read up on the features of each one, try flashing it and if it doesn't fit what you are looking for, try again. At some point you will find one you like or decide to stay stock until something else comes out.

Hi, Im running Rasbean Jelly, available over at euroskank, google it cause i cant post outside links yet
Its for GSM only though. Im using it with Trinity Kernel and having used several other popular JB ROMs, IMO its noticeably the fastest and very stable, has some useful features over stock too! the battery life is as good as stock, again IMO. flash it and see
Actually the battery life is better than stock, i get one and a half, two days out of a full charge, with moderate use. Before Trinity Kernel though i was charging everyday. the kernel really improves the battery life. I'll flash it with every rom from now on although i wont be leaving Rasbean in the near future!

Its all personal preference. I was on Paranoid with trinity kernel and got a full days worth of battery if that helps you out.

Yeah thats very true. I used PA with Franco Kernel on ICS and got similar battery life. used to like features galore like CM9/10, prefer closer to stock now. theres plenty of ROMs to choose from for any preference anyway.

So far Im using MiINCO and cant complain about it. Not many features but its the official suported ROM from Franco (and its kernel). Its an AOSP ROM.

AOSP with the latest binaries for me.

try this it's mine 1,5/2 days battery life with normal use (web/phone/messaging) here is the thread for info:

Depends on what you need.
You don't need a lot of features, just go with stock
You want best performance, I believe liquid gives one of the best performance
You want customization, cyanogen or aokp has awesome features

Stock ICS , trust me all Custom ROMs are suffering from all kind of problems

In my humble opinion (since you are asking for them), Juggernaut 5. Which the download link doesn't work anymore. After several months of use it never slowed down or caused any problems that I can remember.

It' all really personal preferences. I've flashed all the roms and each roms have there own special features. Your best bet is to flash and see. Happy flashing

I flash a few this week and the best I've used is Infamous Resurrection really fast and stable and isnt theme all blingy.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Try every other rom if you're looking for a good combination of battery life, speed, or whatever else you may want from your phone. But, in terms of stability and stability alone, I'd most likely suggest any TW 4.03 roms in the android development forums (notably Darkside.evolution v8 if you can find a link). All of which are known to be incredibly stable

I've tried quite a few now, Honestly I like the basic vanilla roms... Ran CM9 for a few months and now Im running AOKP 6. Found them both extremely stable and simple. Prefer AOKP to be honest

What's your FAVORITE E4GT rom?

Just like the title says, it can be a gb/ics/jb rom, doesn't matter.
What's the rom that keeps you running back?
What's been the most reliable/fastest rom?
For me personally I have to say CM10 because I love JB. Coming in at a close second would be the Blu Kuban.
Aaaaand go....

I really liked Codename JB rom but the battery life wasn't good enough for everyday use. I know I will be back on that rom soon. In the meantime I have been on a vanilla aosp ICS rom for the past few weeks. Longest I have been on anything.

I have got be honest. I like every rom I have tried. 3 by ktempleton. Chameleon Os is very nice. My favorite in terms of ui. Gorgeous. But that was also the problem. Ui crashed a lot. Hopefully it gets stable. Dirty unicorns was great but the ui started crashing repeatedly.
Using liquid smooth now. It's very nice. What it has on the other 2 is that it's running stable. I think I would be on Chameleon though if it were stable.

PACman. Even better now with the make it dark toggle and toggleable slim gapps...no more looking for an inverted play store only to have it auto update and go back to white.
Running great with lightning zap kernel and modded comadose tweaks. I did have to push the zap tweaks back top init.d again tho
