What do you folks here think is more stable and fast with performance options? What do you think the most stable ROM is for both? Thanks in advance

I can't help you in ROMs because I always run my own compiled one from AOSP.
4.2 seems fine with me like 4.1 in terms of stability. I haven't run into any major issues that I can think of as a disadvantage of 4.2 actually I really like the toggles of 4.2
Check this thread for some information
From my experience, 4.2.1 Roms are all working really well and you can definitely make the upgrade. My personal favourite is the Paranoid Android rom!
4.1.2 roms are flawless but once you start using 4.2.1 you won't really wanna go back.
The only issue with 4.2 is the custom kernels aren't really that stable. Hope this helps

Actually, I was on 4.2.1 since release, and now I switched back to 4.1.2... I had too many problems with 4.2.1... battery drains, random reboots, freezing. etc
For the moment you better stay on 4.1.2 because the roms are more bugless and it is smoother too I am currently using cm10 an it is in my opinion one of the best with plenty of features and you can always flash the android 4.2.1 gapps like the camera and gmail,... above android 4.1.2
Yeah, I'm on cm10 as well
I think that the most stable CM10. Is very close to the AOSP, but there isn't a stable version both for the 4.1 and 4.2.
After all, the choice of the ROM is very personal. You have to try a lot of Roms and kernels until you are satisfied. It's the only way
I agree. I actually got the phone on 4.2.1 then rooted and been using Roms. Right now I'm on xylon its pretty solid I have just heard there are quicker Roms on 4.1 quick question. Since I am already rooted using a custom ROM all I would have to do is full wipe and flash a4.1 ROM if I decided correct?

My experience on stock kernel was fine. Anyone having issues on stock kernel? I was just saying that most of the time have MOST of the features port up, and they seem to work fine for me. Although maybe some of the butter is gone

Want to jump on my first jb rom. Can't decide between xenon or vicious. Anyone who.tried both which do u like better and why ? Thanx
I prefer stock.
Something about Jelly Bean being a recent release makes me feel it is necessary to wait at least a month before using a custom built ROM. Give it time to tweak any issues out.
I prefer XenonHD.Been using their ROM's since ICS. Rock-stable,smooth,fast and great performance for me.It's pretty awesome.If you don't like Xenon, then just flash vicious
Simple as that.
Thanks its greatly appreciated. Stock works just fine does everything I want. But I want to try jb lol
And I don't feel like waiting for Verizon's OK

I think he meant stock JB. Not ICS. And he is right, not a single modded ROM is going to give you the stability that stock one has. Stay with that I recommend you and when CM10 finally goes out, you'll see XenonHD get a very stable version.

I disagree, JellyBelly is far superior than Stock IMO
Jelly Belly is working great for me too.
My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship, so I can't really help her when she has problems on her phone. I am currently with her and I've previously had AOKP and CyanogenMod on her phone. While they generally work perfectly fine, there may be issues that I can't easily diagnose from afar. What Touchwiz (non-AOSP) ROM would you guys recommend for long-term stability, optimal battery life, and features. Unlike me, she does enjoy Touchwiz....so using a Touchwiz ROM isn't a problem.
Suggestions?

My first suggestion would be to try several to see which one she likes. If the time isn't available, then I would suggest taking a look at Triune 2. Basically, a debloated stock rom with some custom tweaks. It's what both my wife and I run, though hers isn't as personalized as mine. And if it's important, google wallet works with it.
Try miui, its like android meets iphone and sweet themes. Its probably not the most stable choice though, despite how much it might appeal to the novice android user.
Aokp is very stable, I'm on slimbean right now and its been 100% stable so far. I haven't been on a tw ics ROM since the first few hours I got my gs3 back in july. Drews stock tw jellybean is pretty stable might want to give that a try too.
I've actually been quite partial to DrewGaren's ROM's.... currently Serenity 1.2 based on an AT&T JellyBean ROM for the Galaxy Note 2, and JellyBean747, based on the latest JellyBean leaks/official builds from other carriers.
As for custom ICS TouchWiz ROM's.... haven't really used one in a while since i'm hooked on JB... but i did quite like kyanROM.
I really want her to have JB as she currently has it and surely doesn't want to go back to ICS. I'll do a nandroid and have her try out the DrewGaren ROMs first and see if she likes those. Thanks!

Well heads up if your talking d g stock tw jb rom im on it and yes its good but read through some of the few pages myself and a few members are talking about..

Right now there's now perfectly stable stock touchwiz jb ROMs for our s3 yet as far as I'm aware, and may venture to say the aosp ROMs are more stable and have less issues. I may be wrong as I havent tried too many tw jb roms but have read quite a bit. Ariel 2.10 is a rock solid tw ics build and the upgrade to jb is minor enough I can't see why your girlfriend would mine it until a better tw jb ROM is out.

Where she live? If were close ill give here her a hand
I kid I kid. Wannalite is a ICS stable TW rom. Either that or MIUI. But its still experiancing some growing pains and not quite 100 percent stable.
I'm running JB TW from TeamInsomnia with Ktoonz kernel with absolutely no issues.

Just left my galaxy d2vzw and flashed an unofficial 10.1 it broke data to where I had 1x to nothing.. I flashed every ROM even Odin back stock root66 reprovision my sim. even got a new one and still no no more than 1xrtt to nothing..
Last time I was on my nexus I loved gummy and AOKP.
Any suggestions?
4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1
Which ROMs solid for each?
how broken is 4.2.1?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
its a nexus device, no need to hack anything to get 4.2.1 running, so 4.2.1 isnt broken at all. every rom listed in the development section is safe. you can even compile 4.2.1 from aosp yourself and run it if you wanted to. recommendations.. try out a bunch, find whats good for you. there are no bad roms.
Xenon HD is stable and fast..xylon is great as well..both 4.2.1

see, the problem with these kinds of threads start with this statement. best rom there is according to whom? i dont even think its close to the best rom. in fact, to me its rather bloated. best rom is subjective. every person has different needs, so every person has their own ideas to what best is. there is no best rom, theres only the best rom for you.
Stock ROM, most solid and safe, can't go wrong.
all the 4.2.1 roms i have tried are stable.. so try them and stick with the one YOU like
My girlfriend has been using a few custom roms that I've flashed for her on her nexus, but shes been having multiple SOD's and random restarts and other stability issues on 4.2.1 roms (tried a few). I would like to know the most stable rom/kernel combination that you have used in the past, 4.1.2 is preferable if the stability is better. Just basic rom features is all she needs, but stability and speed is most important, I feel pretty bad for giving her roms with some issues that I haven't experienced on my sgs3.
Thank you all for the help
If you are looking for stability and simplicity go with mmuzzy French vanilla rom. Its smooth and stable. If u want stable with mods go with carbon rom. Its fast smooth and good on battery life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thank you, I'm going to try flashing MMuzzy toro tonight and see how that works out
stock
yeah get her on 4.1.2 before she complains that you "broke" her phone lol. anyways i only use 4.1.2 roms right now, and i can tell you that jb sourcery 3.1 and liquid smooth 2.0 RC9 have both been straight shooters with great performance and not a single SOD in either of them
I just flashed MMuzzy's French Vanilla rom and my word is this thing awesome. Almost indistinuishable from stock. I wish I had a friend who had the GSM Gnex so we could compare features.
If you are looking for a few more features without losing stability I strongly recommend Nexus Evolution. The current version is from Jan 4 and a new version is likely to come out today or at least very soon

Thanks for all the responses I will be flashing a few of these tonight
If you want a daily driver, use stock (deodexed and rooted for customization)
Xenon is definitely my favorite.

I wouldn't recommend bugless. BuglessPete hasn't updated it since Nov, so it is still 4.1.1.
I would recommend stock, rooted, deodexed. If you want features, then MMuzzy has been quite stable for me.
I just flashed Carbon V1 over XenonHD and it's running pretty smoothly. A lot of the 4.2 and mostly all of the 4.1 ROMs are pretty stable overall.
What is the most stable rom to flash on this phone?
That's a trick question there are numerous stable roms. Do you want jb, ics, gingerbread?

^^^^ this.
And besides, most of the available Roms are equally stable / very soon to be stable.
Do a good flash, making sure to wait a while right after flashing, and all will be good.

You need Jedi Jelly 6. Its a Samsung Touchwiz ROM. I have had nothing but smooth performance.

I've really been enjoying the AOKP Jellybean. There are some minor issues with bugs being worked out with the nightlies, but overall it's dope!
I've been on CM 10.1 nightly 03/23 since that day and it's really nice. Everything works smoothly and CM is a pleasure.

Does the TouchWiz work on it?
touchwiz = jedy jelly or stock
aosp = cm

I second this one. Jedi Jelly 6 is very smooth. My only issue with it is that it's based off of a leaked AT&T ROM.
I believe ptmr3 (the dev) is working on a new version that is based on the recent 4.1.2 release specifically for the SGH-T989.
I switched to an AOSP based ROM and I'm never looking back despite wifi calling being a cool feature, but I never used it. Anyway, I've been using 2.2 Slimstars which was pretty great. The updates seemed to be a little unstable like the camera not working. Is the new one, 4.12 pretty much fixed? And are there many changes with 4.2.2? I may try PACman. How's that stability wise? Stability and speed (I just want it to work without waiting you know?) are priorities.
ptmr3's Jedi Mind Trick JB 2.1 is by the the fastest and smoothest and glitch free rom out there
I have tried almost all roms of the ICS and JB flavour
personally I do not like non touchwiz roms
and all CM and AOKP 4.2 roms do not support MHL output or Bluetooth mouse properly
everything seems to work on JMT except for OP known issues
