Hello all!
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Nexus and am looking for a good ROM. Now i know that asking for the best ROM is impossible since it is a matter of taste, but i do want to ask: what is your favorite ROM and if possible, a handy how to...
Thanks a million in advance
First off Q's go in Q&A
Second ALL ROMs are the best. No one can tell you what is best for you as everyone uses their phone differently and all phones are different.
Add to that everyone will tell you the ROM they are using is the best. This is why these threads are frowned upon and closed.
You will need to spend the time and read the ROM threads to decide for yourself.
Thank you for your cooperation

Thread moved to Q&A and left open for technical advice. If you want to know what ROMs people are using just look at the 10 top ROM threads in development.

What is the best tw Rom ? Stability speed and features ? Wanam is good besides my internet problems but wanted something that's fast and stable with more features.
Any suggestions?
For the hundredth time, no one can tell you what is best. They all are for the people that use them and no one uses their phone exactly the same as you. You have to put in the work and spend 10 minutes to flash them. A seardch would have shown you dozens of threads just like this that are closed for this reason.
Thank you for your cooperation

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 and LOVE it. I have been running Frosty JB 7.5, but want to upgrade to a newer 4.2.2 ROM and I have narrowed it down, I think, to two. Looking at these:
CarbonROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136886
and
XenonHD : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255965
This thread is really just an opinion of others who have used these ROMS, so please no answers like "flash and find out" because I want to do this once and be done...
What do you like/dislike about each of the ROMs listed if you have used them?
There is no substitute or shortcut for reading the ROM threads
Best ROM and ROM comparison threads are not conducive to the development environment and to having the member do the proper research
Therefore these threads are always closed before they turn into a battle of which ROM is better.
This is a development site, not a support site so XDA caters to the developers
Sorry for the inconvenience

Hey guys, so I've searched in q&a, general, and development and can't find a thread for this. my upgrade date is august, and I'm pretty sure I'm going with a note, either 2 or 3, so as a last hoorah with my gnex I'm going to root and flash a rom. i've done this to many devices before, but I'm wondering which rom is best, as far as liquid smoothness and speed are concerened. I cna't find a thread descussing this. Also, if you have a rom that you perfer, for whatever reasons, I'd love to hear it! Thanks in advance.

you know why you cant find a thread about a "best rom"?
1) you're terrible at search. there's a ton of them that are locked
2) they're locked cause they're not allowed.
3) go try some with features you want in the development thread for your device.
"Best ROM" threads are not allowed and are usually closed by mods. Although there is one that has slipped through the cracks and is still going surprisingly.

Read through that and see what people are saying. But basically, all ROMs are going to be pretty much the same.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
Ok... New here and think this place obviously rocks. So I have been reading non-stop or Roms/Kernals/radios blah etc etc... Honestly it's a bit overwhelming and I'm curious as to what is the most stable.. It dont matter if it's JB or KK. I'm just looking for something to start with.. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Start with the development section. There are rules against threads like these.

Its not that overwhelming. Everything is laid out for you in the threads. There are "sticky" threads showing you how to root and flash stuff if you need help. And every first post in a ROM thread has a description of what works and what doesnt. Even though all ROMs are pretty stable. All this thread is going to do is give you a million different answers to your question.
Mod Edit
"Best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.

I think DU is the best rom out there I've been using it for a while now, a lot of features in this rom. I hope some day I get to learn more on how to create my own.
We are glad you found a rom you like, but we can not allow this thread to stay open as it is considered a "best rom" thread. All a thread like this does is cause problems between users arguing which is the best rom. Thank you for understanding.
