Guys, quite bluntly - what is the best ROM? And no, I don't believe this comes down to preference. I think we all know what we want in a ROM:
-Stability
-Battery life
-Excellent performance
-Bloatware removed as much as possible
So let's hear it.
I've tried Diet ICS and right now I am running KyanROM. Diet ICS had poor battery life, but I am not sure why - only when data was on. KyanROM, I left the power saving mode on and it's been great so far.
You made a poll with only 4 roms? And you placed it in the wrong section? And...you asked a question that has no correct answer?
Yeah...it really does come down to preference.
Flash some roms. Give them a test drive. Then choose which is best for you.
wrong section not enough roms in the poll and like nun said comes down to which one fits you best
i found this thread hilarious 10/10
Ariel best hands down.

What a shame. You pretty much have anybody reading "And no, I don't believe this comes down to preference" laughing themselves out of their chair and thinking you're one extremely ignorant guy.
ROM's ARE preferential. First and foremost, some ROMs simply work better on some phones than others (smoothness, battery life, gps lock speed, etc.). Next, everyone has different preferences and needs per ROM and its features.
haha wali is nuts nun you have the best rom by far
This is dumb and going to lead to bashing devs

For the record there is no best rom, all is personal preferences
These polls are stupid; they eventually get ballot stuffed by AOKP kids.

listen to the mods . personal preference i mean we all have a choice between 1 another.
All ROMs are the best
Seems biased to only have 4 ROMs listed
Next time list all ROMs and ask "what ROM are you running"

Loving AOPK! Best features, stability, speed (even on stock kernel)...
Bugless beast. Reminds me alot of enomthers n1 roms. Not alot of bells n whistles but extremely rock solid/stable and amazing battery life.
Personally not looking for endeless mods although that can be fun. I just wanted a rom that does everthing i need it to do well, and that i dont have to have the phone constantly connected to a power source.
Honestly, from the title of this thread i would assume the OP was talking about the different Galaxy phones on different providers? and not custom roms on the Galaxy Nexus? Maybe he could chime in an clarify this
Is it just me or is there one of these "what's the best" threads created daily?
good day.
hands down the best rom out there is Liquid on rootzwiki no question!!!!!! It does everything every other rom does plus more.
aokp + franco
I'm using FoxHound ROM. Good performance, nice custom features and a nice black theme...

Long 'u' btw.
I think people missed the point of this thread. I see people asking what is the best from all the time. What I wanted to know is why people decided to choose the rom they are currently using.
Is it because you wanted a ton of features, do you want to keep to the stock experience as much as possible, etc etc.
The question was, "What do YOU think is the best rom and why?" It wasnt, "Tell me what the best rom is because I can't find out for myself?"

The best ROM out there is the one YOU want because of what features it has to offer. Go read all the ROM threads and take a look at the features, screenshots, user feedback.
You don't need a special thread for yourself for people to tell YOU what's the best ROM. There is no absolute answer to that question. It's like saying what is the best car out there? the best car is simply the one that fulfills your needs.
This goes for kernels as well and there are 50 other threads with this same question. Use the search feature and read existing threads.
Stock rom on gsm model is the best
Why? Using 2000 mAH battery, I could get 3 and a half hour screen on time with more rhan 3 days stand by. Or almost 6 hours screen on time with 2 days stand by

Totally agree
Gotta atleast try AOKP. Customization, battery life, extra features and runs smoooth. Although every phone is different you might just want to try a couple different ones and see which one is best for your phone.
I want to know what your favorite rom is for the Epic 4g Touch and why?
Currently my top favorites are
CyanogenMod 9
Android Open Kang Project
Miui v4
These aren't in order

This thread is NOT a good idea. Soon it will be an all out flame war. These threads never last.
Lets say this much....Everyone has a favorite rom....Just because one person likes it doesnt mean another will. I recommend flashing ALL the roms to get a feel for what you like. Each rom has something unique to it. All of our developers are great. Give each rom a flash

All roms have their ups and downs. I like cm9 the most.
blazer seems to be the most popular so far. Im kind of in between roms. been flashing a lot lately, but nothing has fit just right like blazer did a few months back.
i got a taste of the ics and i cant go back tho currently on calk 1.6 with kobridge 3.3 tweaks
Agree with ReActiveDisorder, each ROM is different and each user likes different things. Just try some and find what you will like.:thumbup:

Read up on some threads and OP's. Find out what features each ROM offers and go from there.
Its really that simple. Everyone will have there OWN opinion on whats the best..... and thats just what it is. THERE opinion, not yours.
Flash away man and just find out what YOU like.
Good luck bro.

This will be locked soon. And the most common answer will be "try them all", but you can try FreeGS3 JB in Android Development.
Also search for mods in Themes and Apps for a thread with "morph" in the title for full customization.

I have 2 ROMs for you that I have fallen in love with. The first is the latest Paranoid Android with its awesome custom options and battery life. And the other one is the one I'm using now, aokp with ktoonz. This ROM is also very customizable and has given me be best battery life so far.

Welcome to jelly bomb domination!...once you complete a full battery cycle and compare to other roms you will not mind the theming. Read/search the thread for how to mod it. You can get rid of the pull down graphic, slider and even the subdued background image that appears everywhere in v.8.0. At first I wasn't liking some of these either but now I barely notice them.

The answer to your search depends on whether you want to keep Touch Wiz or not. The upside to Touch Wiz is that you can still use S-Beam etc.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I would just flash for yourself and see what you like best. Different phones react differently to ROMs so what works for some people may not work for you. It seems that most people here are using Jelly Bomb, Wicked Sensation, Paranoid Android, CM10. Try them for yourself, but be sure to give it a few days to settle before you make any decisions on battery life, stability, etc.

i have left jelly bomb and am now trying Frankenstein's kill joy v2.1 and wow am i loving it.. talk about performance and batt life.. quadrants in the 6k range. able to oc to 1890 Mhz using voltage control! super clean ui. can use silkui morphology mods to customize how i want.
idk.. the jelly bomb drove me nuts.. to much theme.
its was fun for the first 3 hours.. but yeah. it didn't grow on me.
i wish there was rom ratings poll.. for each device. and a stability rating along with the rating. if anyone knows someone or is capable of making this happen.. id be all over it! i know there is alot of junk troll crap out on these forms. I was looking at a rom to flash.. and baised off of OP it sounded ligit! then reading through the thread i soon found out that no one had been able to get the thing to even boot.. why cant posts like this be FLAGGED. idk. maybe the moderators were doing a crappy job or something. seems like they come in when least needed half the time ha. anyways. thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction!!!!
gladd this post didnt get deleted.
as for suggestions i think i will try PARANOIDANDROID. i had it running on my epic 4g touch and it was snazzy.. i dont remember why i left it.. i have "the collective" on e4gt now and was loving it.
anyways happy flashing and wish me luck!!

I'm in the same position. I upgraded from my 3 year old EVO 4G and am looking for where to start. This is a whole new learning lesson for me after being so use to roms and upgrading on the EVO. Are there some stable stock roms that have the sprint applications removed already? Which recovery is preferred as well. The EVO pretty much had only one recovery that worked well and Clockwork wasn't it. Not it appears there are 5 or six. TWRP is looking pretty good.
*Maybe this should be it's own thread. Hopefully with better spelling.

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

The best rom...is the one you enjoy the most...
No one build catches the eye for everyone in the same way..
You should first determine if you want roms that run on the bleeding edge...or roms that run the conservative path...
Only you can answer those questions...as you are the best judge.....for you...g

If you want the latest 4.2.2 I like PAC man Rom
Its has all Features from Paranoid Android. All Features from CM and some Features from AOKP. Halo is a nice new notification system to use too. I am using this one now.
If you want optimized Samsung 4.1.2 I like CleanROM ACE 4.9
It has great battery optimization and is fast. Great if you want Samsung apps and stuff.
Also depends on what launcher you use. I always use Nova launcher.
Everything has already been said
ALL ROMs are the best for those that use them
