I am currently using Jedi Mind Trick X3.
What is the general consensus for "best, stable rom" available for the SGH-T989??
Go for stock

I'm running JediJelly2 and love it. Ran JMT X3 before and it was great.
ptmr3 puts out good stuff.
Putting "Best & Stable" together is like trying to put "Performance & Fuel Economy" together
It's hard to say to say because everyone has different ways and opinions

here's the funny thing. there are exactly that.. thousands of the same thread. I see your point but at the same time who has time to sift through those threads when half the time the first post is wrong anyway and by the time it gers to page 5678 the the post has been changed by idiots going off topic or flaming people. this thread right here is precisely what I mean, stupid.

I tried Jedi Knight 6 and had issues with the ROM freezing on shutdown or reboot. Flashing with TWRP fixed the problem for me, Clockwork Mod Recovery caused hangups.
There seems to be random issues with pictures not showing up in the gallery. Also although not a problem I didn't like that the name of the application under the icons on the home screens have been removed, and there seems to be no way to restore them.
I've been running Jedi Knight 6 for about a month now....I've had no issues with gallery pictures missing and I used Apex instead as my launcher so that I can customize my hometown the way I like it and I get the names under the app icon. I'm averaging 11 hours of battery time with about 4 to 6 hours of screen on time and over 300 apps on my phone. I know I can tweak things even more to get better battery life but I just don't know how. Hope that helps some.

A poll with most of the available ROMs would be more suitable to figure what people is using.
I am on SlimBean 3.1.0 beta, for 2 weeks now, but again, nothing lasts forever.
My favorites are JMT X3 and Liquid All-Star v5 great battery life.

Unofficial slim bean. Lightning zap kernel. Love it!
ptmr's Koodo ROM V3 is my go-to for close to stock 4.0.4 touchwiz... get ~24 hours of use with ~4 hours screen time, though i'm convinced "canadian" based ROMs work better on our phones
I think it's on par with TDJ's Telus 4.0.3 ROM for stability and performance... i just always found the contacts/favorites/dialer organization on 4.0.3 annoying
Have to go with CM10.0 or even nightlies. I have been dirty flashing CM10 nightlies for a while and very very rarely get a FC or RR. For OC or to add some governors and schedulers, try a nice kernel to go with

and you thought celebrities weren't smart. =P
In my opinion, it's all preference. I decide which ROM is best for my phone by the amount of support and regular updates the developers offer for the ROM. At the moment, I would have to say I am enjoying ROMs produced by the All-Star team, they have always been there to answer any questions.
Good luck to everyone trying to find their "best" ROM. Cheers!

Also, I'm struggling with really clear audio on calls. Suggestions? Running Embryo now, and that seems decent, but I don't think as clear as stock.

Hi everyone, just a simple question. I am looking for the best overall ICS rom for the T989 right now. Is it worth flashing now or should I wait for Jelly Bean rom or any other rom? Thanks for the help everyone.

I'm using Darkside Evolution 3 v7 ICS rom and it works flawlessly. Best ICS rom I've ever used.

Ah dissenting opinions! So there is no de facto rom?
That's like asking what the best car is. Its subjective.

Let the flashing begin...
Personally, I've stuck with Darkside Evolution 3 (v7) since its release. Although it looks very stock, it's very stable with an amazing kernel and battery life.
AOKP and cm9 are amazing (I'll be flashing cm9 again once we get our release candidate).
AOKP feels like cm based ROM with a little more to offer but with that being said, neither feel as stable as a stock based ROM for our phones at the present time.
You'll always get a biased opinion so I'd suggest flashing some of the more popular roms by checking each thread and good luck buddy!

I've been wondering the same. Reading through the forums, I determined Darkside Evolution 3 (v7) was the most popular. It took a few flashes before I was able to get it working right on my phone, but it runs similar to stock. The only way you'll be able to tell if you like it is if you give it a try.
aokp..... more tweaks.... less bloats, stable, fast.

I'm gonna say AOKP. I've tried all of the aforementioned ROMs and I have settled on AOKP because of the amazing battery life, customization and the AOSP theme it comes with. AOKP has also become very stable as of recently, rivaling the stability of Darkside. I used to run Darkside when it first came out, but now I can't get over the very stock feel/look. If you enjoy the tweaking, I would suggest AOKP. If not, then go with Darkside. If you want something in the middle, go with CM.
+1 on AOKP and link is in the sig. Darkside is also a great ROM just depends on your preference of touchwiz or stock. Both are the top ROMs imo.
Either AOKP or anything DARKSIDE.

I find it funny anytime I see one of these threads and find it even funnier when I see how many people answer. Its probably easier to say what not to use....LOL
Lets be honest thousands of people use this forum and if only 20 actually answer this thread I am quite sure all of the dozen or so roms will be mentioned... This question is like mentioned earlier is subjective and no way can you find a definitive answer in here....
I hate stock but there are some advantages to it, I love CM9 but also enjoy some of the tweaks of AOKP... I just load them all up get them to how I like it and nandroid them all... Problem solved
OP good luck but instead of reading our crazy posts get to flashing
AOKP
I am on AOKP Milestone 6. Was gonna try Darkside, but liked aokp and dont see any reason to switch.
There are few things that will not work with AOKP.
1) WIFI calling
2) Audio out via the car dock.
If those are not issues, try it out.
What ROM/kernel combinations do you prefer and why? Vote and reply insight on your ROM.
Feel free to include battery life, performance, customization, etc
Big thanks to all the developers. This is opinion-based and only meant for informational purposes.
Please NO FLAMING ROMS OR DEVELOPERS. They do this for free, so keep that in mind.
Thanks

I am currently running wanam's 1.1 version of his stock-based ROM. Been running it for 2 days and has felt much smoother and battery friendly than stock! ATT and Samsung apps are flashable later through CWM which like. LOVE this ROM. Only known issue that I have seen is the 1080p recording for the camera. It does record in 720p though. Thanks!

I ran CM !0 for a few days but I used a Mac and MTP doesn't work so its a bit of a deal breaker for me, but in all fairness its Extremely stable to be an Alpha build. My first android phone was the G1 and then on to the Nexus One so i'm a sucker for AOSP based android roms and for Cyanogen Mod in general so ill be running it when the MTP gets sorted out on my Mac.
I tried Wanams rom, I remember him from my SGS2, Hes a great Dev & its really stable as well.
The best all around so far for me is AndroidUser00110001's Rom linked below. I've found the wifi disconnect problem that i was having with the other TW Roms is gone and it has had the best over all balance of performance and stability.

When it comes to battery life there literally is none better, he did a fantastic job with his ROM. It takes a performance hit at times but its to be expected.
Overall, AOKP has everything I want, sans killer battery life
My own personal rom. Has all the customizations I want and none of the ones I don't.

I have looked at it, and the one I have installed on my phone even has the Aurora designation I intend to use if I publicly release a rom for this phone, so we will see.
Also, son of a *****, godaddy didn't auto-renew my domain. Guess I will need a new one.
A buddy of mine just got the S3 and isn't into the touchwiz and nature theme. He just got the phone yesterday so I've been looking for the best custom rom with everything working. Any suggestions? I know it's early in the game and I might be asking too much. I've been searching and haven't been able to find much. Thank you for any suggestions.

I used Aura on my Atrix for the longest time. I like the stability of kyan's ROM. I just know the layout and I like the dandelion/water unlock screen LOL. I liked CM10 and had no issues. I plan on trying AOKP tonight. I like the drop down 15 toggles mainly because they are quick to get to and turn on and off like torch and brightness modes.

Definitely AOKP. Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean versions are awesome. I've yet to find any bugs that keep it from being a daily driver. In fact I've found none. But I haven't used it that in depth much, we shall see.
But I put my vote in for AOKP. By far the best, and I only flash for AOSP based ROMs anyways. :good:
AOKP JellyBean and ktoonsez JB kernel. Those guys rock. Never seen a preview work so well, looking to see what's to come.
sent from my iPhone killer
I'm using and loving Wanam, but due to the poll, I really want to check out the AOKP.
Had a gs2 but have since moved on. Need to find something for the wife though, hence the wife test. Best as I can tell the top TW Rom looks to be evolution v8. How are the cm10/AOKP Roms shaping up? Mind you I'd rather be able to flash as little as possible. Anyone offering some insight to the best stability would be very much appreciated.

I'm assuming that ur wife would be much like my wife. Lots of texting, some talking, internet stuff here and there.
Looks shouldn't be a priority but rather battery life. I would go with either infamous rom, darkside, or Jedi mind trick. I have flashed all of them and have enjoyed them all.
If its all looks to her, check out the CM 9/10 roms.
But then again... when is a wife ever satisfied.
Good luck.

Darkside evolution v8. These pmtr3 roms are okay but the theming is ridiculous. Evo8 keeps it stock and smooth. Its always my go to when I get tired of random reboots and sleeps of death. Trust me Evolution v8 is where its at for stability, best battery life, all while keeping that stock touchwiz look. There's a reason why its the most popular rom made so far for the t989 with over 1 million thread views. The rom is still available for download on TDJs sourceforge. Just Google thederekjay source forge. It will come up.

ptmr3 has a zip to flash back to stock on JK3, just saying.
my 2 cents
I stay with jedi mind trik 7 (I'm to lazy to update ) and after about 3 weeks I haven't had any problem.
I just added the tw calendar.
I moved from stock because of skype, that didn't work properly on stock ICS, but I have to say that this rom is really smooth and nice, therefore I think you should try to reinstall again everything before move to another distribution.
A tip, I reinstalled all app, instead of using titanium or similar, it's cleaner and in the end not so long with the market.
I suggest also to have some fun with google now
Dark side is definitely the hands down winner in TW roms. Besides, Jedi and all those other ptmr roms borrow heavily from tdj. Just saying.

Afraid I have to agree. My warranty replacement S2 came yesterday, preloaded with 4.04. I think I'm just staying here for a while. At least until I get my upgrade next month.
I had been on Paradox for probably 6 months and never really had many issues with the gingerbread roms, most are very stable. I tried jmt and sith as well as Beastmade, in a few different versions and flavors and they were ALL buggy. Most are putting way more time into themeing than into to trouble shooting. Read the posts...most issues are blamed on a bad flash or you used the wrong recovery method...NEVER the rom. To be fair I never got to try a Darkside rom as my phone went back under warranty... supposedly developed the bad power button thing and started boot looping and freaking out. I'm still not sure it wasn't rom related as the way it started it had nothing to do with the power button...that was the biproduct of a really unstable Sith rom.
All that said, if my stock 4.04 starts to lag and bog down with background bloatware, like my original s2 did that sent me here in the first place, then I will probably be back to flashing...or on to the S3.

As soon as tdj decided to leave all these new "devs" started flooding in. Trust me and let's end this post god dammit. If you want a WELL KNOWN, trusty, speedy, stable rom that keeps its stock look from a WELL KNOWN TRUSTED DEVELOPER, look no further than darkside evolution v8. The rom is perfect. No bugs I can think of, no nothing wrong with it whatsoever. God dammit I miss the Derek Jay. This place had to go and run him off.

Do you have the developer landing page for the v8 rom? I am currently on koodo because i actually like tw and love its speed. I dont like is that GPS takes for ever to lock. I am not a flash happy guy either i want something stable and fast.
Don't want to sound like a hater but as far development goes good luck pfinding anything close to revolution or viper s in terms of quality. Now with that being said I like Darthstalker.

Unfortunately I don't, yet. That's my goal before the weekend is over though.

Hi there. As the title suggests, this is a question to those members who've tried a bunch of different ROMs. Can you please suggest the most stable one out of the ones that you've had a chance to try out, one with the least amount of bugs. Please don't go around posting annoying comments like "why don't you try a bunch of ROMs yourself". If I had time to try different ROMs, I wouldn't be typing this right now. I really need a stable ROM, and any suggestion is appreciated. I am currently using Jedi Knight 4, and it keep messing up my data connectivity every 15-30 minutes. It would go on an off non-stop every 3 seconds, and it would only stop if I turned the Airplane mode on and then off. It's really annoying, and I really need something stable, since the next few weeks are going to be incredibly busy for me, and I will need to rely on my phone a lot. I don't care whether it's ICS or JB, as long as it's stable and functional enough. Good battery life would be a huge plus, though not absolutely necessary, anything within decent range would suffice. Thank you in advance.
Have you tried to flash another radio?

I have not, but that's not my only problem with the ROM, just the most annoying one. I still need something different. Plus I don't really think that the radio had anything to do with it. It only started happening after I flashed the ROM, and that ROM wasn't too different from the rooted 4.0.4 update that I was using prior to that, and I never had problems with my connectivity with that one. Either way, maybe I'm wrong, but in that case, might you suggest a good radio?
Try the sith ICS ROM v3 or 4... very stable & fast

I figured Jelly Bean might not be worth using just yet
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Even though most of them are urging me to use a ROM that I already am using lol. Either way, keep 'em coming
It is hard to suggest what radio is the best. It depends on your phone and your location, but you can try Galaxy Note radio. For Rom, jedi mind trick X2 is the most stable.

I'm in Brooklyn, NY, and the Blaze radio seems to be working pretty well since yesterday.

Bug-free Jelly Bean ROM? Interesting, maybe worth looking into, thanks.
Galaxy sbean. Stable. Fast. About 12 hours battery with normal usage, about 30 using juice defender.

I'll just add...no bugs that concern me at all. others may say this or that isn't perfect....like no wifi calling. bit I've used every jb rom lately....all are pretty good. liking paranoid android for its certain customization features...like dpi changing...even particular apps....plus finding its battery life just great!
I suggest to flash again the same radio that you have.
When I flashed All-dev AOKP version, my wireless got messed up in the same way as you are experiencing. Also sequential roms flashed after I noticed this issue did not fix the problem.
There is nothing to lose if you flash the same radio. Maybe only 1 minute of your time.
After I did this, I no longer experienced issues with my wifi connection.
I've tried many roms but i always go back to juggernaut its just stable and smooth its the daily driver for me. I wish team Kang will ever go back and edit that rom and add new themes and good update.<-------------- this is the answer untill they ever come up with a good stable release of jb roms they look cool and much more choices but a headache.

It did seem to be very well-developed, nice functions, and just looked overall promising. I'm definitely considering that one.

I already flashed a newer one, seems to be perfect at the moment, but thanks for the suggestion.
