Jedi Mind Trick
Jedi Mind Trick V9 is the best ROM out there right now IMO..
Fast , smooth, galaxy s3 style, Super fast!!! Just make sure you do a clean install..
Use darkside super wipe before flashing
and darkside cache wipe after install

None for me. My usual DD go tos are dark side v8 and cm9 but now that cm9 gives me graphical glitches I'm down to dark side. I tried pmtr3s roms and didn't like any of them. Didn't dig the theming at all especially with the sith (what's with all these Star Wars rom names? Tdj started it. Its cool but now just plain unoriginal.) Any who so now just running dark side v8.

darth stalker #2 is the best rom no doubt. been running it for 3 days now and it super fast and stable. best battery life on any rom im tried too.
Darkside Evolution3 v8 is still the most reliable and stable imo.. if anyone needs it, they can PM me
I like the cm9 of teamchopsticks, its stable and more smooth than other rom, i tried the jedi mind trick, but the animations and transitions are more faster than what i like

tdj's CM10.. he posted it on his Twitter.. the last Darkside product.. with interactive and deadline I haven't gotten a single sod or rr.. check it out..
Eugenes plain Jane ics.. If you don't dig touchwiz try this. Its my favorite. Very stable vanilla ics. I love it.. Running this until jb comes out officially for our phone.

Was wondering what ROM to install. I'm glad I found this thread. Of the recommended ones above, do any of them have camera issues? I need my camera to just work, in addition to voice/data.
My question might deserve a new thread. but we'll see what happens..
Best ROM for...
Music? (Sound Quality).......
Battery?
Customization?

I'm using JMT v9 and its pretty shhweet. It's only my second rom, first was plain jane ICS. So i don't have experience with many roms.
Only had one problem with it, and of course it was when i was showing it off to an iphone owner.
Problem was I was pretty drunk and was adding pages to the home screen and maxxed them out. Went to delete them and it locked up and said touchwiz was not responding. So i just reflashed and wont be doing that again.
Cant post up the bug in the dev section yet, only a couple more posts to go.

Just got my wife an Epic Touch 4G, I wanted to install CM9 on it, but I don't see it anywhere? I want something stable, with good battery life. What ROMS do you recommend ? can be TW/AOSP, as long as its STABLE and everything works. Shes rocking stock ICS on it now.

I use that rom as my dd. Its calk's worked baked in to ff18 with some other stuff. Its almost stock feel. Most bloat removed. Ton of mods.
There is another awesome rom called blu kuban. Not sure if it fits your needs. Its super themed with awesome blue and black colors. Has its own kernel with a ton of cpu tweaks. Blu kuban is like the ultimate rom.

You could also try the "black" ROM, it's very stable and has a great battery life. It is off of ff18 right now but is going to move to fh13 soon.
Its funny how much this question gets asked. I would read up thoroughly on how to flash Roms and root or whatever it is you you want to do and go to the development section read about what is going on and how to install whatever ROM you want to try and try it, see how it works for you and if you don't like take it off. Trial and error is your best bet just make sure you aren't blindly flashing and installing stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Qbking77 has a lot of helpful videos on YouTube also.

That's not true by a long shot...
The reason we started making our own ROMs was the instabilities, short-comings, and plain mistakes made by SamSprint in the stock ROMs.. you know, like the eMMC brick bug? That's a far cry from stable imo..

Hey guys, just take a poll as to what your daily driver is. Which ROM you have running the most. You can only pick one. Thanks for your time!

Ive tried all the major ones, and for ICS based ROMS Jedi Mind Trick v7/v8 and TDJ's ROMS have been the best. That said, after a few days on ANY ICS ROM Ive tried I start getting anomalies that make it frustrating, so for now Im back on Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7. That seems to be my go-to ROM and I have never had one issue with it. I sacrifice a little snappiness, but for me its flawless and bulletproof.
AOKP fan here. I had the milestone 6 for the longest time.
Just trying out JMT since last week until AOKP-JB becomes stable.
Jedi Mind trick is my favorite but I was loving clones and drones when I was on it both are fast and stable

Telus ICS Stock Rom for now
I've tried 4-5 roms since i bought my phone 4 weeks ago... and i'm always coming back to my nand backup of my stock rom because there'S always small things i'm not happy with every roms i tried...
Jedi knight 2... One of the best UI with SIII addons but got Launcher freezes 5-6 times a day for 30 seconds...
Clones and Drones... AccuWeather bugs on Lockscreen... ask in Celcius but got temp in Farenheit even with the small C besides and always show wrong city...
Koodo v.4.0.4 v3... this one was almost perfect for me but have poor data speed with Fido on 4G
Jedi mind Tricks V8 ... poor battery life...
But gonna continue to try others and coming back if there's new version of what i already tried...
thanks to all devs for the good work...
I haven't posted in a while but my phone is still solid on 3.8 Darkside. Ive used nothing but Darkside since he started development. What happened to the dev? It feels strange using an awesome rom that isnt even in the dev section anymore.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
TDJ moved on. Remember our valued devs are volunteers and hobbyists, and it's to be expected that they will come and go.
But there is an awesome group of devs active on the T989 today, and many excellent ROMS to select from.
I'd recommend that you nandroid your trusty Darkside, then try a clean install of JB. Flash your way through a series of CM, AOKP, and various kangs.
I will be extremely surprised if you don't find a new favorite. The aesthetics, responsiveness and features of the ROMs out today far exceed where we were even back in the summer.
Nandroid is your friend. Go play.

You can actually search sourceforge.net for thederekjay to find his last build.
I had to Odin back to stock after a nameless recovery screwed my phone up for the second time (nothing I flashed would work right). I remembered how much I liked Darkside Evolution and decided to search for it and try it again. It has to be the most stable custom ROM to date. It obviously doesn't have the bells and whistles that the others do, but everything just works. It also looks sweet if you slap Touch0Color and TouchWiz UX on top of it (both are still in the apps and themes section).

I just started using it after all the crappy battery and various problems from some of the JB Roms. Ive used them all I think. Slim beans awesome as far as battery goes and liquid smooth but each still have graphical glitches. 3.8 is the way to go its by far the most reliable TW Rom we got with bulletproof a close second IMO.
I just recently committed to making the switch. I was on Darkside v. 8. I am now using Infamous Resurrection Gangnam Style. Great Touchwiz basedRom. Good battery life. No lags. And it's still active so lots of support etc for this rom.

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.

Only way to find out how it's going to work for you is to hit the Dev section, Read the OP.. Check last couple pages in that thread.. (It'll give you an idea typically how it's running for others) EVERY phone is different and how we all use them is as well. So Battery life and things are going to be hit and miss depending on user. Just take a couple for a test drive.. if you don't like.. Flash again till you find a home.
All the Touchwiz ROMS are great but I always comeback for MOAR.
