ok guys !!
share what rom are you using ?
and the specific reasons for it !
stock V11a rom - rooted
i am using it because it actually has decent battery life (unlike the v10 series) and because i am waiting for tuesday to put Cyano on it.
I would also like to see the different reasons for using particular roms, good thread idea
@ aaki_rocker what is your rom and why?
For me lol.. depend on what i work on.. right now i use cm-9-20120629-UNOFFICIAL-p930 (my compiled CM9 test build)
CM9 RC1. Running like gravy since it launched. Its fast, smooth, and offers pretty sweet battery life even without HONOs kernel. Oh, and many of the things they released a couple days ago at the Google IO conference work on ICS(google chrome for android is ICS+ only).
Just a few of the perks of running a CM9 rom.
im using hono! not with hono kernel since max keep goin down to 100mhz

i switch between your flashable ics leak and nightly's of cm9 !
i do nandroid backups of the ics leak before flashing cm9 and i restore it if i get bored ! lol !
and what is the difference between your compiled build and the one from cm team ?
i'll give it a try though !
Cm9-rc. Flashed this morning running quite well.
Was running 0616 nightly lots of random random reboots and Bluetooth issues.

CM9 RC1. I've hit a few FC glitches, but it may be due to my fault. I'll reflash in the near future and see what I get.
CM9 6/28 with HONO kernel v4
Just like to stay on top of things

I'm running RC1 with HO!NO! V5 kernel. Its pretty smooth but I do get some occasional FCs. I like it though. And I change themes almost daily.
Edit: Having more force loses than i would like. It has been getting worse and worse. But Still like the fuidity of the rom, But could use a little more butter

I am using Hono's flashable leak.its been 3 weeks.i am having 0% drain in 8-9 hrs sleep mode.and i can play gta 3 2hrs straight from 87% to 15%.having very very rare blue flashes playing 65 (max)fps games...with the fluidity it gone far beyond cm9(because of the lg gashter sensor...i think).also with the display i think leak show true 326 ppi.not even stock that clear its like evrything blend with ur eyes.didnt get it in cm9.i have frozen all the bloatware and google backup transport.also wifi and data turned off while in sleep mode.Good work Hono.while i am writting this post its been 16 hrs in battery and 68%..and i switchd from 4s(tiny ass.. phone).if its display would a liitle more bright.

Stock gingerbread ROM with HONO's kernel for me! CM9 just isn't as smooth for me, and while the ICS leak is as smooth (if not a smidge smoother than GB stock), the screen digitizer driver seems to not be perfectly calibrated (most noticeable and annoying when using swype or other "dragging/drawing" apps) on the ICS leak, AND it seems in ICS they screwed with the way zooming on images is handled.
1.) First, when web browsing, text doesn't auto align like it used to in GB, regardless of browser (with the exception of Opera, but I don't really like that browser very much)
2.) In email apps which DO allow pinch to zoom on emails with lots of images (such as touchdown and K-9), you can't seem to zoom out anymore in ICS when you could in gingerbread, so you're forced to have to slide around a ginormous email image to take a look at it rather than zoom out entirely and get an overview.
If anyone else knows of an email app that allows pinch to zoom to zoom OUT of a large email far enough to get a complete page overview in ICS, let me know. (I'm aware K-9 and touchdown still allow the zoom function, but they seem to cap how far you can zoom out in ICS far below getting a full image, when this isn't the case for these programs in gingerbread. Some strange global setting in ICS, it seems...)

i use maildroid !
i dont know whether pinch zoom is supported or not but its worth a shot !
I've tried fixing permissions to get rid of the force close but nothing. But itabnot force close in a sence. Its whenever I try to start an app, of the phone process, or the system setting, it say that unfortunately the *process name* is not responding. I've flashed the rom 3 times consecutively and the kernel and fixed permissions and the same things still happens. :-/. Guess its just my luck

Thanks for the suggestion!
I gave it a shot. Unfortunately, it also won't allow zooming out on emails if installed on ics even though when it's installed on gingerbread, it zooms out just fine. It's definitely a systemic issue on all ics-based roms for all phones. People have been complaining about it for all ics phones, not just the Nitro. Oh well. Till they change that, I'm sticking with gingerbread! Because of what I work with, tons of my emails are ginormous, and I need to be able to get a full overview for it to be useful. I don't have any major qualms with gingerbread anyway. Honestly, I just wanted to get rid of the color banding, but that'll just have to wait =P

Try a complete wipe (including your SD card). Also, don't restore anything from TiBu. Sometimes that will clean things out.

CM9 RC1
What rom do you have on your phone?
Why do you like it?
What dont you like about it?
Im curious to see what everyone is running
So far ive ran aokp, paranoid android, and cm10.
Im currently on cm10 and enjoy how professional it is. (explaining the swag button to potent galaxy buyers was kind of tough)
I would have kept paranoid android but the profiles didnt work and i didnt know how to use the dpi changer.
I also started this thread to see who uses android development ROMS instead of the original development ones
Im mainly interested in the non original android development roms users and their oppinions but everyone's answer is appreciated
My favorite was Codename Android, besides one major flaw that myself and very few others experienced: Impossible to send SMS longer than 160 characters, regardless of settings/reflashes/apn/etc. Just because it was the smoothest ROM for me.
I value UI smoothness above all else and have yet to find a ROM that is truly stutter free.
CM10 is ok, but if you go to clock and swipe to the side to go to timer it stutters like a pentium 2 running Crysis: Warhead.
Stock ICS ROM's lag, as well Facebook/third party app scrolling has constant stutter reminiscing of SGS1
JB Leaks (LIF, LIG, LIH) give me blackscreen reboots once in a while, although noticeably smoother than ICS.
I didn't mention battery life as quite frankly I can get a day of usage with every ROM I have tried so far which is nearly all of them.
I think I'm using stock ROM right now as I was fed up and just restored an old nandroid... I guess its ok, everything just works, lots of stutter's though. Doesn't have that premium feel you expect of a device at this price point.

Run AOKP then, it's extremely fast and smooth.

I have tried multiple versions of it, still stutters on homescreen sometimes. Same Timer stutter as CM10 and annoying alarm bug (although there is a fix, it's inconvenient). As well the Nova launcher that AOKP uses, and pretty much all third party launchers have a little input lag due to non native integration or no hardware acceleration (not sure which, but the input lag is there).
Anyway I'll take my fluidity rant somewhere else, people seem happy with the current state of the phone.

The childishness of aokp turned me off since i looked at the boot logo but my gripes can all be easily fixed /hidden.
I havent noticed the speed difference but i do see tge lag you speak about but ive dismissed it as a hardware being underpowered to the rom issue and dont notice it as much anymore
So im still looking for answers from non original development users but to everyone else
>> What are the Cm10 vs aokp major Differences?
Here is a quick look at some of the differences

Blazer Rom.
It's minimalistic, faster than stock without overclocking, great battery right out of the box, and EVERYTHING WORKS. take that jelly bean.

Because its my ROM. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
I'm currently using cm10 and I find very awesome. It's fast and has a lot of great features. I tried AOKP and decided that IMO cm10 was closer to actual 4.1, but AOKP had many more features.

I had been running AOKP for a week or so, I like its customization better than that of other ROMs.
I just yesterday found a new ROM called Paranoid KANGdroid. It pulls from CM10, AOKP, and Paranoid Android. Has pretty much all the features of all three. So much customization, I love it. Not fully stable, though, its only a few days old.
Does anyone fine scrolling a webpage on Google chrome a little bit slow as oppose to the stock browsers ?
It doesn't seem to do it on the nexus 7 and our didn't seem to on the gallacy s3, only see the issue on my note 2. Is anyone else experience this issue?
Same story here. The stock browser scrolls and zooms much smoother.
I've been seeing the same thing. I had the same issue on my GS2 and thought it was just the older hardware, guess not. Been thinking of switching to an alternative browser.
Personally I love chrome and have had no issues.

Try Boat browser you wont look back, install Adobe Flash from XDA video below on it.

For me chrome is also laggy. Best for me is stock+full screen and gestures....
I have to agree, It seems that the stock browser seems to work pretty well under most situations. I'm not sure why chrome behaves this way, it was the same on my note 1.
Chrome is bit laggy than stock browser.it was same issue on s3 too.
Before rooting when screen dim, I can click home screen and it returns to where I was.but now it closes down to homescreen.

Does it perform any better with a different ROM? My nexus7 never had the issue, it was buttery-smooth and its only sporting a tegra3 CPU. I feel as if its maybe some sort of graphical driver or something...
The stock browser works fine, buttery smooth, almost as good as iPhone/Safari, but I'm at a loss as to explain chrome.. It worked fine on the S3 I tried at the shops (I think it was the I9305?). Has anyone had any insight as to why it might be slowish on some and faster on other devices?

Chrome is laggy on any device including the Nexus 7 that I sold.
Chrome is laggy on my ipad 3 as well. Stock browsers seem to be much better integrated with cpu / gpu. Even on ipad safari owns chrome in terms of smoothness.
I have the Omega ROM on my Note II and Chrome is very stuttery when scrolling. I really like the way Chrome works but just can't use it due to the jerkiness of the scrolling, and it's also slower when flinging up and down long pages.
At the moment using Dolphin which uses the built in engine with it's own UI on top and liking it mostly. Will give Boat a try though.
I used Hangouts for about a day after it came out, but switched back to Talk because of the serious lag that it caused on my phone. Does the recent update make the app run smoother? I liked the interface, but couldn't stand how when I hit the home button, I could count on my fingers before the app would close, and then I would need to wait longer for my keyboard to disappear.
I'm still on AOKP 4.2.2 (6/30 nightly)
No lag reported here... Mmuzzy 4.2.2
it's still an heavy app
As stated in the title I have the AT&T ion and just like everyone else I got sick of running ICS. I decided to flash the international jelly bean firmware but no matter how many times I do I keep getting the battery issue, lag within my app drawer, and the HD video recording problem (which I know can't be fixed yet). Some people say the battery settles over time or after running down but my main issue is the lag. It's extremely annoying, and I only get it when scrolling through the app drawer, not the homescreens. I tried rooting and tweaking, clean installs (even without keeping the baseband) and even using third party launchers but no matter what it still lags. In Nova launcher for example I get it while opeining the app drawer. I've searched all over about this but I've only seen one other person with this problem. I have no idea what the problem is because it's obviously not the launcher itself, or the kernel, or the firmware in general but I can't seem to get rid of it unless to use ICS. So my question is: anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance
I am running the 28i rogers with the Honami home and don't have these issues. Restoring apps from a ics Sony backup can cause problems too. With standby mode I get a day from it on average. Try a clean install of the Rogers rom and de bloat it.
U could try to supercharge it..

Thanks for the responses. But like I said it's not the launcher or anything like that. I used the stock international firmware and had it rooted and debloated, and I used the honami launcher which was definitely an improvement but didn't solve the problem. The battery thing seems to be hit or miss, i would say about half of those on jelly bean seem to have it. I'll look into supercharging it. Do you have a link to anything in the forums? thanks
