What ICS rom is the best in your opinion?

Wanting to try something new besides Caulkin's GB rom

Depends on what you are looking for.
For AOSP I would suggest that you go with AOKP. As for TouchWiz probably go with The Blu Kuban or Mijjz Blend (ICS versions of course)

You do realize you can get a vote for every rom out there... Don't waste your time on here waiting for someone to tell you what to do. Just read up on them all and decide which one you want to try.. Then try them all if you like

+1 I personally have tried most and they all have pros/cons. I got addicted to the tablet ui in HyDrA, but its not for everyone. Just try each one your interested in and go back to which ever one YOU prefer.

I just came from mijjz's goodness to aokp 35, both are awesome and I've not had a problem using them as my daily driver, I hate hate hate touchwiz though so obviously there is no small degree of bias in my opinions

I would have to agree with the Hydra rom it is sick! By far my favorite. Anyone that hasnt tried it really owes it to themselves to do so.

I had the same issue with aokp, 3g so bad it was virtually unusable, mobile odin'd to newer modem (fe07 if i remember correctly) and after a day or two and a few battery pulls speeds were actually improved from what I had prior, just give it a few days possibly try a new modem

Did you download it from your phone or pc? I have had bad luck trying to download roms from my phone but have not bricked yet (knock on wood)

If you want to get an idea of what some of the ROMs are about before you flash them, then take a look at some of qbking77's review videos.

I just flashed sfhub's fe10, liking it so far, but my favorite so far had been calkulin's e4gt2 series...version 1.5 is fd26 and is a very stable and smooth rom.
Edit: i agree with binary though, check out qbking77's reviews-they're super helpful

If it wasn't for qbking77 & zedomax on youtube, I'd STILL be scared to attempt rooting! I personally have tried a LOT of ROMs: Blazer, Calkulin's E4GT2, CM9 Alpha 3, Nocturnal Venum before finally settling on Blu Kuban ICS FE10 (love the blue & black combo). It comes with an updater built-in & everything is working (hotspot included). Just make sure u follow the videos to the LETTER when installing any ROM! I luv my phone (never said THAT before!)

+1 on the kuban it runs very smooth battery life is awesome.Rujelus22 is on his game with this one the blue theme is very detailed and everything works.

Most answers you will get on these type of thread topics are usually very bias. But I can't blame the OP, the question hasn't been asked before or I at least don't think so.
Well, to answer you question... I will take this opportunity to tell you to check out the TweakWiz ROM created by the All-Star Devs. Cheers!

I would have to agree this is by far the best of the touchwiz JB roms. I aslo like the original rom from AT&T. And as for the Tweakwiz! rom goes, there is a lot of post about it not working correctly, maybe they should not be saying that all the bugs have been fixed......

All of them. I get the best battery life on tweakwiz tho

|ROM| Koodo |V5| 11|4.. this is THE BEST. Period.

Stock ICS isn't all that bad. A few tweaks here and there, minus the bloat and plus some data/battery etc. tweaks and it's pretty standard!

Why does it matter that he isn't arond?
I always fall back to DSE V7 or V8 after getting beat up by 4.1.2 roms...
I don't care if he personally asked me to give his rom back I'm not giving it up until something better comes along and I haven't seen anything better yet, I get less than 1% battery drain while asleep on Darkside V7 after a little of my own tweaking.

[Q] What's the best ROM+Kernel to improve the battery life?

Hi, is there anyone who can suggest me the best Rom + Kernel to use to have the maximum battery life? If there is a similar post, i'm sorry, i couldn't find it.

i believe you easily!
almost same config (rom), with leankernel and 4.1.2 version is doing the job with battery life, compared to 4.2 JB, its day and night.
Ill try trinity, already placed it on my memory but was testing leankernel
No SOD, or heavy drain in use ?

I'm trying the new dummy kernel from ak and it works really good. You should give it a try.

Dummy kernel and Purity rom does the job. 36 hours or so of usage with 3hr 30min of screen time or so. 3G on throughout. ARHD does the job too

I recommend AOKP with lean kernel. Best battery saving and buttery smooth.
The combo is so stable and it's my daily rom.

Hey so I know I'm a bit off topic but I'm still pretty new to the development on this phone. Anyways for kernels, do I need to download a certain one for my phone model (GSM/LTE)? Or are they compatible with any model?

Given that you have to find *your* best combo, I think that Purity with lastest franco.kernel is better for battery life, even if AK kernel is a little better for performance.

GSM and LTE have different phone/data HW and chipset just because the phone technology is different. You have to find you custom (or stock) rom in your own forum.
And yes, you are quite OT , but I'm not an admin

Yeah sorry for the OT question. Also I wasn't asking about custom ROMs, I was asking about kernels but thank you I appreciate the reply.

I've tried about all of them and aosp with stock is definitely the best battery life........ With my usage pattern. Your mileage will probably vary.

Kernels for TW Based ROM's -- 4.1.X--- Roll up + Stock Kernel

I've seen several posts by people looking for kernels for TW ROM's and even more so with some multicarrier ports coming over. I won't post the download links as it is expected for those who download to read the OP's and please thank all of these guys(gals) for their hard work. These all work on 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 stock based ROM's and I've tested almost all of them on the sprint and verizon based ROM's. This is mainly for reference and if a new one comes out let me know and I will add it.
Here is the stock in CWM or TWRP flashable form:
http://d-h.st/O12
(App made me name is but it is just the pure stock kernel)
THESE ARE NOT FOR CUSTOM (i.e. aosp, CM, AOKP, etc) ROMS
Be sure to make sure you perform a nandroid backup before you start flashing kernels.
I generally wipe cache/davlik and then flash in custom recovery. This is a general rule of thumb but make sure you read the dev's instructions as they may differ.

Just curious, which kernel/governer would be the best set up for a smooth experience but not battery eating? I've been using xi with intellidemand and it works great, except when I use my phone for about 10 mins the battery drops tremendously.

Honestly a stock kernel is good for almost anything.
I like faux or xone kernel. I always use ondemand governor

Light ROM w/ good battery life

I'm looking for a fast and light ROM that will get good battery life and run smoothly. I've been running Darkside until upgrading to JB last week and was relatively happy with it. I find JB runs too slow and drains the battery too fast so I'm considering switching back to Darkside unless someone can suggest a better alternative.
