Best ROM right now?

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.

So far Aokp is my DD right now I like to the stock feeling of ICS and not touchwiz

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.

Try ParanoidAndroid, this ROM is awesome.

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.

Which rom is better?

This is my first time flashing a ROM on my (Sprint) S3 and I'm trying to decide between Wicked Sensations and AOKP Jellybean.
If anyone has tried out both of these ROMs, I have 2 questions.
1. Which runs faster/smoother?
2. Which has better battery life?
Thanks for any help.

best roms
Jellybomb 4.0 or wicked sensations

definitely Jellybomb, the best and most themed ROM. Has a plethora of features, battery life pretty good on v4.
message brought to u by my JellyBombed GalaxyS3

Alright. I'll check out the Jellybomb ROM.
Thanks

Try each of them out. Each rom is going to offer you a different experience. Just remember to do backup and follow install instructions. I myself would rather try different experiences instead of just asking which is better. Have some fun with your device and see what all is out there.

Where do you go to look for different roms that you are deciding between? Any suggestions?

I have tried just about all of them. I watched qbking77 on you tube first.odexed blue and wicked sensations was pretty much a tie. Cm10 has been my favorite jellybean.

What's the difference between CM10 and roms? Noob question I know but I'm new to this

Jellybomb
While the other guys are right that each Rom has something different offer, I highly recommend Jellybomb. He is always updating and answers questions. Some Roms get put up and then you rarely hear back if you have a prob. Honestly, it is a matter of opinion though. I tried several out for myself before finding Jellybomb. I personally did not like CM10 at all.

Id have to say JellyBomb And StrongSteve's odexed blue are the best. I also agree that CM10 isnt that great. I mean it runs amazing and all that but the gut the rom and remove all touchwiz features and all that which IMO is a waste since toucwiz does have some very good features that I use all the time. I dont see why someone would buy a phone and then put a rom on there that strips it down to the bare minimum. Also like others have said though you really need to try them out yourself and see which one you like. Another thing to keep in mind is a lot of these screenshots dont do the roms justice. You need to see them on the SuperAmoled to really appreciate it.

That would be in the development forum...read the OP and a few pages of the last pages of the ROM thread to see if there are issues.

FTFY
CM10 isn't that great for you personally .
CM doesn't 'gut' anything, it's built from source, it's just a different experience, one that some find fantastic. Since ICS Google has really stepped up their game, it still needs a bit more setup out of the box, but it isn't nearly as daunting as it was in earlier versions. Back in the Eclair/Froyo days manufacturer's overlays like HTC's Sense were almost necessary, those days are gone. Now people can choose more freely, at least people like us who want to root . All that said, Samsung has done a really great job with Touchwiz now, it's not at all a bad experience like it used to be. Very functional, light, speedy and provides plenty of depth in settings and customization.
I know the OP doesn't want to hear it, but you really just have to try things out for yourself and see what's best for you and your needs. Take people's suggestions and find some time to try out some various ROMs for a day or two at a time.

JELLYBOMB 5.0

I'd love to try something else but right now I'm in love with CM10. It's my first custom ROM so maybe it's that first love thing going on. Woopie, I don't have captcha anymore.

If you like touch wiz like me then phantoms blazer from 1.7 is great 1.8 has some battery life issues

Koodo V3 has been the best for me as it is pretty much as close to stock ICS as you are going to get. People also rave about Jedi Knight and Jedi Mind Trick although I have not personally tried the latter two. All three are from the same great developer and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

I agree with the above... Koodo V3 is great. Might have something to do with being in Canada but I'm not sure.

I can't go wrong with AOKP Milestone 6 7/15. Highly customizable and rock solid. No issues at all.

Use the Jedi mind trick ROM. Its smooth and acts like a sgs3. Perfect for every day use. Also try the aokp build 2 jb ROM. Its better and faster. More customizable.

New to the Herc here and I went with JMT v9. Running smooth, no complaints and the dev is a good guy.

Try Darthstalker I like a lot more than the Jedi roms and it the rom with the best battery life that I've used.

Anyone switch from Jedi rom to clean rom? (Or switched to any other rom)

Has anyone.switched back to Jedi or is.currently on the new Clean rom and why. I am just curious to know what reasons everyone has for using there particular rom of choice over the other. This questions is no just limited to these roms input on any rom is welcomed.

I tried Jedi and CleanROM in that order and found that they are both similar in real-world performance but it's so hard to tell when you have a quad-core powered device that doesn't have trouble running Android smoothly.
I prefer CleanROM over Jedi only because I like to keep TouchWiz the way it is and not have excessive modifications that bring down the shipped Samsung interface experience.
Many people here like change though. So if you're one of those guys who like to change the look and feel of TouchWiz, then Jedi is obviously for you.

I haven't had to leave the force at all...it's perfect, never had a better rom on my android device ever.imo

I've tried every TW ROM available and nothing is nearly as smooth as JediX. Absolutely fastest and smoothest ROM I have ever used

I've been using both Clean Rom and NoveIIa, but Novella more so recently because of the customizations similar to CM10. Even though NoveIIa is still in the beta stage its fit for everyday usage. I go back on forth because Clean Rom is always being updated. Oh and I'm a damn flash fanatic.:laugh:
NoveIIa is here just in case you want to try.

SKYNOTE v7 is amazing
I tried cleanROM very good, but too stockish for me. JediX had weird issues for me in regards to phone network setup, but looks great too.
I am extremely happy with SKYNOTE, cool look, a little AOSP style sort of, very smooth, and best battery life. Great themes in his thread too, nice Blue theme, and other themes straight from him, all works like butter

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.

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
