I've lol'd at it before and I'll lol at it again!
LOL!
Dont waste time on trying all the ROMs as everybody suggests here. Lifes too short!
Its just too time consuming. Even with Titanium Pro and similar stuff.
My personal recommendation:
Install different launcher than stock (Apex if you like stock, Nova with a bit of 3D). Try to use.
Root! Use it a week or two. See if just rooting satisfies you.
Install franco kernel. Actually you can do this in the first place.
Install AOKP ROM. That one is like a default at least for me. Reflash the franco kernel. Because ROM will overwrite it.
That combination will give you a feeling of custom Rom + kernel. AOKP comes with Nova launcher. Make it default and it will give you a totally new experience. But keep in mind that you dont need root, custom rom to test different launchers.
if he's asking these kinds of questions, i say stock rom+stock kernel.

Try slim ics and franco kernel r160. Best combo i have found yet!

I wonder why still nobody made a simple table with rom comparison. A simple matrix with roms listed and features.
Features like: android version, kernel, customizations, launcher, what has been added, what removed.
Make it wiki and people will add their opinions in no time. Even with screenshots.

Aokp works pretty well. I would use that til cm9 gets to a stable release.

Hi welcome, I'm using CM9 and it's incredibly stable with many added features, a Kang to be exact withEzekeel s kernel. Try out several and see which ya like best

There is nothing as best. I tried many ROMs and kernels. Everytime I came back to
a. Slim + Franco MS 3 + Apex launcher
b. Slim + Trinity (if you find blue tint interesting) + Apex
Slim is maintained by 1 person and he responds to most queries himself. Great combo for my needs, hope you find yours soon.

Hi,
I have AOKP M5 installed. Just watched the Slim ICS video review on Youtube and I must say that I didn't find any differences between AOKP and Slim ICS.
The differences are really minor if there are any at all.

Yes you are right with only minor differences. However, for some reason, when I reduce dpi in aokp or anyother ROM to 280 or anyother value, market starts behaving wierd. Slim is the only ROM that lets me change dpi without colliding with any other app.
Soo. I've been flashing ROM's for a while now, well I've gone through a Sanyo zip, a kyocera milano, a ghetto ass "Sawee Pad" that i cant do crap woth really, then i got my incredible and ive gone from cm7 v13 to cm9 Kangs, to Peter Alfonso's Pete_Inc_03_10_12, to few others. The thing is, I really like ICS, but everything I've flashed in some way or another was unstable and I dreaded installing apps or anything else for that matter. So I've been back to cm7 v13 for about a month now.. what's the best overall most stable ICS ROM out there for the incredible? I don't care about fancy schmancy customizations. I want something basic and very stable (or just super awesome thats stable) I would love to hear your opinions, pros/cons. I will be researching most of the night I'm sure. I use my Ding for a lot of things, gaming/movies/music/inet surfing.. just wanna flash a new ROM and wanting your opinions. Thanks

I am on cm9 unofficial. Its highly stable, at least for me and fast too. Am running stock kernel.
Hope it helps you.

If you keep the stock kernel, they are almost all stable. The different kernels will cause some phone to freeze when plugging and unplugging.
It's hard to keep it all straight but I believe you need a 3rd party video app to record video ( video cam illusions) in most ics roms. Build 38 and 39 of AOKP do not work on the dinc, both cm9's and the new abduction are really smooth. Just flash and enjoy, that's my motto.
Ah so that's why it didn't work. CM 7.2 is much, much quicker though.

Well after a few hours of reading, imma try and flash in-sensative minimalist sometime today. I know its not ICS, but it'll do. Imma keep reading and see what I come across, maybe ill try a different version of cm9 and see if I can find something more stable than what I had.

I've been using Hanger's Abduction for months now. Installed the latest last night and each release gets better. Everything seems to work for me (I don't use the video camera so I can't talk about that). Previous versions there was some hanging when unplugging from charger, and a few random quick reboots. So far so good on latest but it has only been 7 hours...

For all out stability without any misfeatures, CM7 w/ stock kernel. If an alternate kernel is stable for you, then great.
That said, invisiblek's ICS builds are getting there, but there's still some weirdness here and there.
I've heard that the latest evervolv ICS alpha is really nice, and they've got the video camera working -- I haven't tried it myself though. Videocam Illusions just records in MJPEG -- you've got to be desperate for ICS + videocam to want to use that.
Throwing my vote in for pures anthem ROM. Buttery smooth, fast, and stable. Oh, and pretty. only issue I have is that sometimes 3g disappears, and a restart is required to fix it.

I would love to be on ICS ROM as well...but I have some misgivings about it. Even if some ICS ROMs may be stable, from what I see, they are still slower and grab more battery then our GB ROMs. That's a deal breaker right there. I don't understand why people want ICS soooo badly on their Dinc if its gonna be like that. Stable is great...but its gonna hog more battery
I'm on the latest RC of CM7.2 with Chad/Tiny Incredikernel and couldn't be happier. Stable, Fast, and battery efficient.....
I have an extended battery and get the same or better. Dinc accessories are getting cheap on amazon. I can get about 18 he with 3hr + of screen on.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
I agree with previous posts about ICS roms having poor battery life. From what I've tried, they do not have anywhere near as many features as cm7. If it is not possible for cm9 to run efficiently on the dinc I hope development on cm7 continues into the future. I run the latest cm7 nightly with incredikernal, v6 supercharger, kickass kernalizer, adrenaline shot and 3g turbocharger scripts. I also updated the radio to the new one in the general section. My phone has never performed better

Battery life is subjective and different people may have different capacity batteries at different points in their lifespan and different usage levels. I for one think it's decent, maybe not as good as cm7 but probably better than the galaxy nexus.
Oh and not to mention different screen types, AMOLED can drain faster than SLCD.
Which ICS rom is the most stable and has the most features working?
The CM9 nightly, well at least I believe so.

That's what I was leaning towards, thanks. I also am interested in the Touchwiz 5.1.2 rom and ParanoidAndroid, though the latter seems to not be ready yet (phone errors and fc'ing).
It's a little overwhelming coming in as a noob. I'm wanting to put some life back into my dinc.
Would the latest CM9 nightly be the best start? Anything I should know about? Is flashing a new kernel worth it, or should I stick with stock? So far I followed a guide here to get root, but I'm still S-On for now until I decide which rom to go with..then I plan on downgrading to get S-Off, flashing a rom, and updating my radio.

first thing first, get S-Off in your DInc .
idk the best start to try a rom, but maybe u can try an aosp GB which is CM7 or miui.
but if ur very interested in ICS UI then CM9 all the way. there is a lot of CM9 mod such as invisiblek's, abduction, kang's, and others, and there is also a combine cm9 + miui such as miui v4 ics.
its up to you which one u will pick, or ur gonna try them all (like me lol) just remember to make a nandroid backup.
happy flashing rom's

by the way, I was S-ON for a while, flashed an ICS rom, and had to go through ****s to get S-OFF. You can look near the end of scottys guide to see You can be as noob as possible, once u get CWM recovery, its as simple as putting the rom on your SD card, then going into recovery and selecting to flash it.

Couple things. Text input lags a bit. Anything to speed that up? Performance is pretty good overall but I feel like it could be better. Battery life seems to be on par with stock (buying an extended soon cause I'm still on the original battery). I also seem to be running a bit warmer than stock. Will a new kernel help?

Well that doesn't really help him lol. Just because something kuroikaze with gm kernel will melt your face from speed doesn't mean he wants to do that.
Advice would be to look at rooting and unlocking then for a stock ROM that's epic, flex reaper, or consider cm9 or for the fastest a cm10 build.
Outside of that, not much will help. Root and use build.prop tweaks might help a little.

You are already on ICS, you don't need the leak ICS, that was just for us before ICS came out. Proceed with rooting then unlocking then flashing a custom recovery then custom ROM. As you're rooted start with renaming /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.bak then run the boot loader unlock scripts, then recovery, and immediately perform a backup of your entire system. Then you can flash ROMs.

if u want to stay on ICS use flex reaper relix or i think the other is called Green mod.
although Jellybean runs better on our A100 and i find you don't need the build.prop mods with it. they kinda screw with the interface a lil too much for my liking. although those can be fixed as well.
but acer stock ICS is crap.
sorry i wasn't helpful before. i couldnt help but giggle at the first reply.
also use ezterry kernel with any of your ICS flavors you choose. and as pio said don't flash a leak. youd actually be going backwards by doing that.

I agree, CM10 is very smooth. I would suggest using the latest CM10 ROM along with twrp 2.2.2.1recovery from linuxsociety and his godmachine kernel, all in the development forum. Also installing apex launcher after you get it up and running, it is much smoother and more customizable to the tablet ui.
Actually, apex kill led my tab, made it sooooooooooo slow. If you use apex, use titanium backup and remove the stock launcher, same so much memory! Its crazy...

What bugs does it have you can't live with? Anyways you're asking for advice and its being given, if you just want to fight it then we'll stop offering advice.
ICS is faster then HC, period. Modded ICS faster still. Godmachine on modded stock faster then that. Cm9+ godmachine faster then that but iffy on games. Cm10 and godmachine kernel is as fast as you get without losing a lot of working hardware.

Just stick to CM9 till a more stable release for CM10 is out. If you have trouble with permissions, go to recovery and use fix permissions.
Don't get me wrong. That's just my opinion... You can use CM10 if you like. For music player, use Google Play Music.

All the ROM for this device are almost the same, all ics/jb roms are basead on arco's source,which means that there are no significant difference in battery/performance/bugs between them, the only difference is the mods, apps (removed or moded), and a few tweaks.
Pick the rom you like the most, if you want a clean rom and you don't care about those mods just pick CM9 or CM10, I would go for cm10, it's stable enough for daily use.

Yes, normal stock JB is better than stock ICS but we are talking about an ICS ROM that has RC stage while the JB is only at its alpha stage. The tweaks and 'project butter' smoothness will not be at its... Full power? Just saying. Not bias to any ROM at all. Different people have different opinions.

I used CM10 by Arco with 4.1 to 4.2 JB App Mods...
But its me... And in the end all the options back to you...
Sorry for my bad english...
If you ask me what is the best ROM in W. Then I would say: Nothing.
What's the best for me maybe its not the same for someone else. Maybe someone said: 'Ah CM10 FTW!!!' but then someone else argued: 'No!! CM9 is better blah blah blah'. And someone else said SlimBean 4.2 is da best.. e.t.c. And you know what will happen next.
If you want to ask what is the best ROM, ask it yourself. Try any ROM and Mods that might fit your requirements. (And expectation, of course)

In my opinion jb is in many ways better than gb, besides the battery life. however I've found the stock roms to be laggy but when you install one of the costum jelly bean roms that problem is out of the way too. So I suggest u upgrade to jelly bean, I think it's really worth it! p.s. next time post your question in Q and A for ace 2 thread, it's there for a reason!
If JB only CM.
So basically you read on our forums that for some people JB lags, for some not, and then decided to open new thread to read the same things once again hoping that maybe now everything magically works fine for everyone? Both sections are full with opinions and threads on every available release of JB, we have also Q and A section to ask such questions there.
Android lags every time. I have LG with Quad Core Tegra 3 and I see lag. Same with any other device. In other case, Lumia 720 is running flawlessly. Why? Not open source and full of ****. In any case, I advise to install ME7 Android 4.1 to Ace II. Better than GB.

CM is buggy and luggy)))
I use JB since the first release and I never again had a thought to revert back to GB. Current JB roms are quite stable, so there's no need to stick with GB. Just don't use CM or any other rom which is in alpha stage. Wait for stable release and you'll be okay. And to answer your question - Yes, you should upgrade to JB.
I ´m using JB XE7 since 10 days and it´s working fine ! I update from GB straight via odin and got 624MB memory. For me, i won´t go back to GB!
JB Looks a bit too boring to me... Yes it has better battery use capabilities and 'new' features but for me... ICS is my personal pick. But I would choose GB over JB any day

Look? Do you mean the theme?
If yes, flash cyanogenmod and get thousand of themes.

Cyanogenmod 10 Unofficial by dh.Harald is very good. There are a few Bugs, but if they are no Problem for you, try it.
GB over JB any day for me.
I have flashed all JB release except MF1. All roms were giving too much lag when playing a video (play and then go forward or back and your phone might even become unresponsive) and youtube and facebook videos especially high resolution videos. I have tried Italian Job over MC8 and Kyrillos over MB4 (or MB2?), they were better than stock but not close to how GB plays videos. GB is best for SGA2 in my opinion and experience.

Man, clean RAM sometimes with dedicated Samsung app. I have ME7 and everything fine.
Gb maybe a bit faster but jb is very stable if u install a good custom Rom. Try the italian job rom by mkel91 the nature ux version or kyrillos v8. They are both good but i feel that italian job is more stable.
Plus jb is capable of running a lot of apps that gb can't and don't forget that BBM will only be available for devices with ics and up
If u need any help installing roms just ask

Cause we use 3.0.x kernel which is more better than gb kernel
Look at benchmark score (quadrant)

I do believe Jelly Bean is better, it may be slightly slower at some stages but the touchwiz UI is so much clearer and more advanced. I bought my SGA 2 back in november with GB, and got impatient with o2 not giving an update for it so I decided to root it and get Bagnz0r's sakura droid project on it. I prefer the AOSP look overall
i prefer JB
I use CM 10.1 from bangz0r is faster then gingerbread and more stable.
