I've been jumping in between ROMs lately and I am just kind of curious as to what people think is the best ICS rrom to use for speed and battery life?
Please if this is a double post... delete this thread please.
Each phone reacts differently your best bet is to start flashing away at all of them and choose which performs best to your liking.
CleanROM
Toss up between CleanRom and Synergy.

Im still new to the tmobile gs2, had it a couple days. Had a atet gs2 before, what kernel do you guys recommend? right now im trying faux's kernel.
what are you hoping to get with a different kernel?
there are many to choose from
and they are all similar in what they offer
so unless you know exactly what you want, there's no telling which one is the one you are looking for

ok what would be the best kernel for great battery life, and also smoothness and speed. so yeah the best kernel for battery,speed nice and snappy smooth etc?
bullet, synergy and faux are the most popular ones. I personally use faux since i've historically used his for the g2x and sensation which gave me really good results. I've used bullet as well and it was pretty solid. the faux kernel is the newest of the three i've mentioned so it's not as "mature" as the other two yet. That being said, i haven't had problems with reboots.

The question you ask is really hard to answer. Phones are like people. They are picky about what they like best on them. Certain kernels that may work the best for me. May not work the best for you.

I know that, just wondering what the majority of people's opinions are on which one has the best battery life, speed, smoothness etc. Of course I want speed and smoothness, but mostly want to know which one has the best battery life.
I really appreciate everyones replies, thanks alot!!
i tried several
my fav are bullet and/or synergy
both works well with most ROM available in the DEV section

I have found the same results. I run synergy with juggernaut

FAUX123 give me the smoothness of Synergy but better battery life.
Battery life is my only concern. Which is generally recommended?

Just like every other "which kernel?" or "which ROM?" thread, the correct answer is whichever works for you. Some people will always answer these with "stock". Others will always answer with whichever one they're using. Try a few, give them a few battery cycles, and see which works best for you.

Every time someone asks "What is the best ROM or Kernel?", a cute panda commits suicide. Please think of the pandas.
I can only answer for the two I have used extensively, franco & lean. There isn't a huge difference battery wise between the two imo, but lean gets me slightly better battery life.
The truth is buy a few extra chargers and a ZaggSparq cause the VZW/LTE Nexus battery sucks. I get maybe 2 hours screen on time WITH the OEM ext battery.
Jame Bond kernel has provided me with excellent battery life, I strongly recommend it.

I have a ground breaking idea. Try different ones and see which one is best for you. I personally use Trinity but have had many people tell me "that one sucks. terrible battery life" but I still use it because it works FOR ME.

Because this is for my non-flashaholic girlfriend, and I'd like to set her up with whatever has the best reputation.

Well I'm not a expert on flashing since I'm not flashaholic either, but from my experience, all the kernels that I've tried has similar battery with a little bit of tweak, such as undervolting and underclocking. I personally think that you won't need custom kernel unless you wanna overclock or do crazy stuff that stock kernel won't let you.

Then stay stock? Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

It is broken, though. Battery life is god-awful, so I was looking for a nice kernel.

For the thousandth time there is only what's best for you. No one uses their phone the same way as you nor has the same signal strength. So no one can answer that question for YOU. They can answer for themselves and that was done by trying different ROMs which you must do.

let the pandas die, they dont deserve to live.
This question was asked probably more than 50 times, and my answer always have been Stock Jelly Bean. Why? Because it works and works well. Why do you want to switch to custom ROM that might have bugs and lose stability? Stock ROM performs really well and has probably the best battery life. Custom ROM is only good for more customization if you ask me.
With that being said, if you WANT to use custom ROM, try as many as you can and stick with one that you like the most. There is no best ROM. Only the ROM that fits you the most.
Hope that answered your question
:laugh: The hits just keep on comin!
if you have to ask what is the 'best rom' then you should stay stock because that shows your fear of any possible bugs or glitches. In which case rom development and beta testing is not for you, best you stay rooted stock or even just locked stock until you find there is something you need or really desire to have on your phone instead of 'rooting because its cool'.
Lollipops you are burning in flames!

All ROMs are the best! Someone in every thread will tell you that but NO ONE can tell you which is best for you.
You have to read the ROM thread and decide which one has features that suit YOUR needs

Hey XDA
Ok Im new to rooting & I only haved rooted to the Wicked Rom as of late, didn't even try to go forward with their red/blue theme or bloat loader level 1 or 2 because theres no directions on even how to do it so w/e
Basically Im looking for a pretty basic stock mod either with ICS 4.0.4 or Jellybean. MY MAIN concern is all the stock functions that I should be able to use with the phone, (wifi calling all the way to motions).:good: 2nd BATTERY LIFE :angel: , 3rdly, all around FAST & SNAPPY Not too worried about the overral lay out because I can use nova or go launcher to my liking... & of course, ZERO BLOAT WARE
CLIFFS OF RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS:
CWM Flashable
ALL stock functions.
BATTERY LIFEEEEEE
Fast & Snappy response
ZERO bloatware.
Would greatly appreciate the help, I searched around but not one any1 wanted these specific layout of priorities.
Thnx in advance!
Cheers~
Pretty sure the wicked themes are flashable. Although wicked v4 now uses aroma installer which lets you choose the theme, kernel, and bloat levels. Always be sure to back up before you do anything.

thanks but you know what? seems like its not that great on battery life IMO.
Depends also on what kernel you choose. Many say trinity and ktoonesz kernels are the best with battery life. Also check out the xquizit or crimson roms and Look through the threads and try to find what you prefer. Try to Go through the whole thread because many questions have been answered in previous pages.

No problem man. Good luck! Be sure to back up, factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik when switching between ROMs. (Make a habit of it )
Flash to latest stock via Odin, root and install titanium backup and remove the bloat yourself.
Honestly I am very impressed with stock! (I am running CM10 though)
Experimenting with kernels would be good, though they may break functionality...
All of those stock features that are so cool (motions) are battery consuming... though I have had consistent good battery with this phone. Coming from EVO 4g with 3500 mah extended battery that didn't last much longer...

Hey there I just got my girlfriend a galaxy S3 and would like to know what is the most stable ROM for daily driving? I'm using CleanROM for the note 2 and it's amazing. Was wondering if there is something as simple as CLEANROM?

Ya that really a loaded question and can get you a lot of fanboy answers. You best bet would be to show her some of the diffrent roms there are and the features they have. Then let her test drive it and see what she likes best. Thats what it alwasy boils down too. Not so much the best ROM but the best ROM for you as the user.
look around in the Android Development section if she's more into the stock S3 look and feel. some great options in there like i747z and CSROM

Definitely a matter of personal choice. Whether you go with my Intergalactic ROM, enewman17's, upndwn4par, or even more that I have not mentioned, chances are that you will receive a good quality experience on this phone. We all work together to make it better as a matter of fact. Take a look at each thread, flash a ROM, make a nandroid backup of your settings if you like it, try another, come back if you preferred the last one. We are fortunate to have many talented devs here who dedicate themselves to making this phone the best it can be. Good luck and regards.
I can't say "most" since I haven't tried them all, but these have been my favorites - simple, very stable, great battery life, de-bloated, no BS, just work great:
ICS - KyanROM
JB - Ultimatum S3
i like cyanogen mod but I am currently on Liquid Smooth RC2 4.2.2 rom and so far so good
