Hello peoples, Im looking for new ROM. One that has great batt life, one that will always get sms and mms. Any suggestions? I like sense ROM's and all the goodies that come with them. Also one that I can add my own touch to.
Stickies exist for a reason

Edit: By the way, nobody can tell you what ROM is the best. There are a plethora of ROMs out there. Half the fun of having a rooted phone is to get flash happy with various ROMs. You need to try out different ROM/kernel combinations and find which one has the features you want with the performance and battery sustainability you need. My setup works amazingly well for me. But I've seen people who have the exact same setup and have crap battery life, bugs in their system, or just don't like the UI. It's all user preference. Get flash happy until you find one that works best for you and your style.
for sure mikg 2.58 seneless. i use the no lock version. its legit. beast battery better than aosp and fast. using agressive freedom kernel. everything works.
The new FreshEvo 4.3.1 with the standard Freedom kernel has been giving my two Evo's over 12 hours with heavy usage. It runs smooth as "buddah"...
But it is a personal choice. Fresh is a Sense ROM, which may or may not be to your taste.

Really? I love my miui setup. It gets a full day from wake up to time I go to bed. I always thought aosp had better battery than sense. I might give Mikg a shot.

I run synergy with the carousel mod. has great battery life on my hardware and is the best when it comes to getting text/mms on time. I have tried almost every sense rom that has come out in the past 4 months and keep going back to synergy.
The Blazing Roms team working on FEARDEme and Hybrid really have something sweet going. Granted, they're still in late beta, but if you follow their thread and their site, they really have some great stuff.

I agree that they are great stuff, I used FEARmede for a while and would still be on it, i just couldnt go without my 4g. If 4g is not a big deal for you then by all means take some of team blazes roms for a ride. Make sure to read the features on all of them, they differ a little from each other.

Thank you all for the input and not telling me to search a sticky or that there is this or that for a "reason". You think I havent tried all sorts of ROMs/kernals? I cant tell you how many times I flashed a new ROM/kernal. I was hooked on flashing for a while, damn near had to go to rehab for that shyt. Yes, I know, every phone is different, but I just wanted some first hand advice from my fellow XDA'ers. I really apprecaite the feed back with the replies I got. So thank you all again. Time to get flash happy, woohooo!!!!
try the evo classic v0.0.3 by tommytomatoe one sweet Rom fast as a jackrabbit with a firecracker up his ass and I stay with about 225 RAM with my 7 homesreens full of widgets. and my battery lasts all day I can get 13 or so hrs of screen on time on my 3500 and about 6 or 7 on the stock battery and that's straight screen on almost the entire time cuz I never put my phone down. when I'm not on it all day my 3500 will go 12 plus hrs and be around 75% or so with moderate use but usually I overheat and bootloop b4 my battery dies from playing modern warfare 2 all damn day.
I just got my s2x and looked at the rom section and they all seem good but cant tell which one is the best.
Looked at beastmode, bomba and juggar. Which one do you guys think is the best?
Only one way to find is try them all out for yourself. Me personally, I use juggernaut and love it. But that's just me haha. It won't hurt try em out.

I've been trying them all for the past week. I think Bombaridier V.2.0 is the one to keep: very fast and has amazing data speeds. Still trying out the battery life.
I doesn't have Google Talk Video cooked in though.
Ive been using stock (bought the phone last thursday) and its been amazing. Especially after disabling TW and most of the tmobile bs, this phone has been flying.
And my battery life has been phenomenal. unplugged yesterday, at like 6:00am when i got up for work, and went on all day until 11pm at night and still had 15% left.
That sounds like mine! I love the battery life on this thing
Completely stock - not rooted yet - 1d15h battery life every day, and I charge at 10%. Moderate use through the day.
I switch ROMs daily, I still haven't found my daily driver. I have been most happy with Bombaridier because of the speeds. I'm back to Juggernaut now to test out the 1.6 release. Definitely invest in something like Titanium backup if you're going to be switching ROMs a lot, it'll save you a ton of headaches.
Try Hyperdroid with one of the sergions.Batterylife rocks!
Im using pongsters transparent sergion atm.
Uplugged the phone this morning at 7:00am receiving exchange email via push the whole day.
Listening to music for an hour.
Some calls,whatsapp,facebook etc and now at 00:30 at 58%
Moved arround allot too like cm7,darky rom,villain but this one seems to be stable and battery life is good.

I'm using Juggernaut 2.5 with ICS theme. Very nice. Haven't tried the others cuz I've been happy with Juggernaut

Honestly all the roms we have are all good. It comes down to personal preferences.
I like how BeastMod is themed so that's what I rock.

Glad I saw this thread. I'm new to messing around with Android, but I'm always eager to read and learn. Right now, I'm using a stock debloated ROM and just playing with themes. The stock ROM had been perfectly suitable for me and I'm not left wanting...but I do get curious about the other ROMs.
I understand that its a matter of personal preference and the only way to know which is "best"for a person is to try them out.
However, could you educate a beginner on what sort of practical differences to look for in each ROM? That is to say, if one of you experienced members were to flash a new ROM, what things do you pay particular attention to?
I've always found that it helps in the learning process to know what you're supposed to be learning, so I'd like to have an organized mind as I explore.

There are lots of things to look for such as..
Battery, smoothness, simplicity, mods, tweaks, themes, and I'm sure I'm missing some more.
For the most part Juggernaut has all the above along with BeastMod.
But again ALL the roms we have are GOOD. All the devs we have are amazing at what they do and my best tip for you is to try them all.
Stay at least 3 days with each one and from there you'll be able to decide which one fits you more.
I hope this helps.

heres how it is, ive only tried beastmod and juggernaut, so far beastmod was good, but once i tried juggernaut i was sold, its snappier, specially with the new bullet kernel, its speedy!
Beast Mod consistently holds me down no bugs reboots a lot nicer on the eyes without being excessive... I'm downloading 2.5 to give it a full shot
---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------
But I agree the best way to really know what you like is try em all and use it as you would normally some people love speed but don't care about battery and some do etc;
Like everyone says, kindof a preference thing....
In my opinion, juggernaut is the best rom atm, it has the most dev support and has the most advanced options right now.
I'm rocking the following and am quite happy:
ROM: juggernaut 2.6
Kernel: bullet 1.8
Theme: ICS theme (without installing system apps, just want blue taskbar and themes and not the somewhat crappy ICS launcher)
Launcher: LauncherPro with Custom made ICS buttons. (see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19247803#post19247803)
That said, bombaridier is smooth and clean, beastmod is unique and has an enthusiastic following.

Different processors.
This is my first android phone and i jumped in head first and rooted it the second day i had it and have since tried all versions of every rom so far. personally i think juggs has tons of potential but atm they are ironing out the bugs, good for customizing but dont post about a bug without a log of the error. bomba is stable and fast and lacks bugs, best daily driver at the moment. beast just feels like a kang of jugg. kernels to go with are all good right now. seems like jugg (or beast) works best with their accompanying rom, jugs. and bomba rocks with synergy, gonna try it with bullet today.
Hey people, I just came over to the Samsung Galaxy S2 from Evo 3D. I was rooted on 3D and running Fresh rom, which was basically a stock rom, stripped down and ran smooth. I rooted because HTC's Sense Roms are so laggy and slow sometimes they really need a quad core processor to keep up with the S2's dual core processor IMO. I also had the WiFi tethering, but RARELY used it as nowadays, I can jump on the internet with my WiFi only tablet just about anywhere I go (Thank\ you McDonalds and Starbucks), so I don't really NEED WiFi anymore.
I just want to know if there is an advantage to rooting this particular device in your opinions? I get great batt life so far and use it all day. It's fast, no lag at all. My wife has the iPhone 4S and this seems to be as smooth as her iPhone in every way!
Would love to hear your thoughts...
Do it! Its dead simple and unlocks the potential of your device!
What's the advantage of rooting? Ultimate customization, removing bloatware, you can install some really great and fast roms including ICS, improved speed and battery life, not to mention rooting the epic 4g touch is really, really easy and straightforward. I'd say root it without a doubt, that's my two cents...not to mention i enjoy doing nerdy **** like that anyway. Go for it man!

I def appreciate your input. I'm not a huge customizer anyway, but I do like to remove bloatware... Thanks...
Removing bloat, a few apps requiring root...
But to be frank, this phone runs so well OOTB, debatable if it's in anyway necessary. I ran stock with no custom roms for weeks before the itch overtook me.

Reasons to keep your root
I don't know how much ads in your games and other apps bother you. But some of the Roms for E4GT has the built in ad block, it has its advantages when it comes to getting a free app or a paid app. Also the developers are very conscious of conserving battery usage in their roms make for longer charge in your phone. I think that alone with great developers showing their talents are worth the reason of rooting, along with the other reasons in this post.
I had the same question so here's the benefits of rooting this phone that I've found
When I rooted my Evo 4g, it got a lot faster, smoother, etc.. it was way better
I haven't found a ROM that's really faster per se.. but what I have found is ICS (which I actually love by the way), and just a generally more usable phone since the settings and what not are more customizable..
If you're not a "customizer" and aren't looking to try ICS now then I really wouldn't worry about... but this is from someone who got extremely good speed and battery life out of the stock phone... that's my $0.02
I really like the input you all gave. I went ahead and rooted, on Caulks Rom now, and so far enjoying it. Put Tiffany's theme (ICS with a little Honey) and it looks really sweet. Wanted to try customizing a bit... OOTB this phone is sick fast and overall just runs great! That is the biggest reason why I didn't want to bother rooting, but then I had a spare 15 minutes in my life yesterday and read your comments. I knew it only took about 5 mins to root, so I did it... So far seems great, runs fast, and looks sexy. I did like the Go Launcher though, but one of my favorite things (Go Launcher Notification) doesn't seem to work with the ROM I am running. Caulks Rom is ICS based, and I don't want to go back to Ginger, so I'll patiently wait for the GO team to fix this issue...
Anyway thanks again all! I made sure to thank all your comments.....I think...lol
Hello! This question has probably been asked, but I put the title in and it didn't come up in similar threads.....
I just got my SGS3 a couple of weeks ago and I love it so far. I am currently looking for a nice deodexed, debloated Jellybean ROM. I am looking for one that has great battery life, sleek features and preferably everything in working condition with no bugs. Which is the best? Which are you currently using? I ask your opinions please w/ supporting statements as to why you love your ROM. Thanks ahead of time for the answers!

I'm running that Rom as well but I found a lil fault in it. It shows graphics trails on certain apps and almost does a flicker on the swype pad when texting.

Well I'm running ParanoidAndroid 2.16 at the moment and it runs excellent, I get about 22-26 hours per charge. I ran CM10 but wasn't really impressed and battery was going quickly. Don't forget to hit Thanks if you found my comment useful
Just curious as I just got my S3 today (came from the evo lte) loving it so far. running paranoid 4.1.1 right now and like it just a few little bugs here and there with camera/alarm and mms so thinking of going to a stock looking samsung rom.
Just wondering what is everyones favorite rom for overall performance/battery life and just least amount of bugs. Like everything to work just hoping to get some optimizations and tweaks to make the phone perform better than what samsung puts out.
Looked at Blazer ROM and seems like the best from a few minutes of reading.
Once again thanks

thanks, downloading it now. I absolutely love stock android with running paranoid android rom. Just between the few bugs even though very rare. the samsung camera app is better imo.
Just cant wait for a 4.1.1 rom from samsung. I saw one but doesnt seem too complete.

Jellybomd is solid, still liked Blazer more. Paranoid will own once its completely stable. Thought about flashing anakonda tonight.... very highly themed and I've heard good things.
OdexedBlue is what I always go back to. I've used Blazer, FreeGS3, JB Leak LIF, and stock rooted. There's no comparison.
Samsung Galaxy S3
OdexedBlue ROM
LI3 Stock Kernel
LIF Baseband
XDA Premium - Support our developers, modders, & themers!
FreeGS3 with Trinity kernel, same stock feel with the little tweets here and there. Undervolted and overclocked, though I usually run stock speed. I get easily 13-15 hours with 4-5 hours screen on time.

been on anakonda for a couple weeks, definitely diggin it, kinda torn between it, and wicked sensations with the anakonda theme, but i like using wifi tether on ICS for encryption purposes and a couple of the wicked sensations morphs look pretty nice with anakonda. battery life is great on both roms and i havent had a single FC problem with either of them, also quite speedy.... big fan of team venum
Stock Freeza's DeoDexed ROM. I themed it the way I want using Morphology, and I absolutely love it. I have a themed stock messaging app (always wanted this) centered clock and everything.
Get about full day and a half on battery, and that's texting, calling and using some data.

I'm a fan of Wicked Sensations and FreeGS3 ROMs. I've used both as everyday ROMs, and have had zero problems with both. FreeGS3 is more closer to stock look and use, and Wicked is a very cool themed blue (Wicked also has a green/orange theme named AnaKonda that is just as cool). When I don't use and abuse my phone in terms of videos/browsing/social media, etc, I get great battery life from both. Just my $.02.

I myself just came from the evo lte i also like a rom with the samsung look. i really like a rom that still includes the motion for the s3, thats one of my favorite parts of the phone. but i have been using peoples rom and it has a launcher , or touch wiz 5x6 or 5x5 column that you can choose from. it also allows you to choose what samsung apps you would like to install with it as well. it is blue colored but it still has the same layout just different icons. i really enjoy it and i haven't had to many bugs.

TPR is a great rom. However, Everyone's experience and choices will vary.. So typically, Threads like this are quickly closed/locked.. Just spend some time with roms that interest you.. And see what you personally think of them.
