What's Your Favorite Rom?

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!

Same here wanam 1.0 although 1080 recording anything beside normal won't work

The only reason I ever want to flash my phone is to get aosp. So I say cm10 and aokp are the best. Don't really see a point in flashing stock based roms.

You might wanna make a Poll on top. So users can vote for the Rom they like.

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.

OK people !
I Got My Samsung When It Came Out, I Rooted it and Activated It The Next Day.... I Am Now Tired of The Stock ROM I Have and Wanted You Guys To Point Me In The Right Direction of Some Cool Looking ROMs. If You Guys Could Post Me Some Links, I Would Greatly Appreciate It.!
Thank You!

Not to be rude or anything but all one has to do is look at some of the popular ROMs in the development sections to get a pretty good idea. The popular ones tend to always be near the top, provide great documentation and support, and provide pictures and videos to get you a great idea of the experience. Just spend 30 minutes looking over the various options, and flash a few to see which one you want to stick with. Flashing ROMs is so easy nowadays that it really is just a matter of how much time you are willing to spend playing around with them. I'm waiting for Jellybean ROMs before I really make the jump and satisfied with the performance of stock (with Nova launcher) until those JB ROMs become pretty stable and can be used everyday.

You really can't go wrong with any rom currently out. I've tried them all out and they won't disappoint. I'm currently running Freeza's rom and though it's touchwiz based, he really changed it up.

For me they have all basically been the same in regards to battery life. At a minimum I can pull 16 hrs on battery with 4+ hrs of screen on time with each rom. I'm not really into playing games on my phone so that helps. However, battery life is really user dependent because we all use/set up our devices differently...so what may end up being good for me may not be the best battery life for someone else. Definitely give each one a try though and see which works best for you

I'm definitely going to try them all, but god damn are all TW roms almost 1gb in size? I thought sense roms with big @ half the size.

Not all of them but if they're full of addons, such as FreeGS3 by Clark, then it can get big. Freeza's rom is probably the smallest coming in at about 498MB

If you want to get into AOSP roms, CM10 is running pretty smooth even though it's still in preview builds. Nav bar mods and inverted gapps look really good as well.

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've seen a few people post that FreeGS3 is noticeably smoother and less laggy than Blazer. Not knocking Blazer since it may have some other features that people prefer.
For my previous phone (EVO 3D), I tried several Sense ROMs and there was a significance difference in performance among them. Is it such a stretch to assume that a similar variance would be present in custom TW ROMs?

Well I wouldn't know as I've only tried stock, freeza's fre3 and blue odex since coming over from the og epic.. I guess my "word has it" comment came from reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29890564 <-- that
I guess my point is obviously people like all these roms, or they prob wouldn't always be the top four threads all day long...
It really depends on your own preferences as they all appear to be stable and running well..
Again my advice, pick one and flash it.. if u feel like trying something else then try that too.. If somethIng goes wrong restore your backvup.. again.. the beauty of xda.

I get your point but the beauty of XDA is also in the ability to solicit opinions to make an informed decision. I don't think my question was that out of line. It's not as open ended as simply asking what the "best" ROM is.

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

Alright. I'll check out the Jellybomb ROM.

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.

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.

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.

best rom that can pass the wife test

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.

I dispute the existence of such a thing, but suit yourself...
If I were you, and I'm reading correctly that your phone is currently running ICS, I'd start with stock Jelly Bean; you can grab a rooted stock image here. Since I'm not running a TW ROM presently, I can't really suggest what might be good beyond that; I'll take the opportunity, though, to point out the KT747 kernel (which I'm currently running) available in several different flavours for AOSP and TW alike; configured properly, it's consistently been a performance and battery life boost for me.
Realistically, it's probably best to poke around for yourself and see what works best for you; there's a lot of development effort going towards this device right now, and there's something for everyone.

ill most likely start out with stock JB TW and add the kernel for some performance then start doing some more heavy duty stuff

I was like you before I became addicted to AOKP. Check out Jedi Invasion 2.1. The performance on that thing and the battery life is amazing, PLUS! it's running TouchWiz! Why I didn't stick to it was because Facebook wasn't working for me :/ And since you've used a Galaxy Note, you'll feel at home

Thank you!! I'm downloading it now.. I decided to skip the stock JB for now and just jump to the big stuff.
My fiancé hates the flashing lol
I had a bad Note where calls/text wouldn't come in.. It might of been the ROMs too, not sure. But I had promised her I wouldn't flash anymore..... I just couldn't stay away haha
Any other kernels or tweaks you guys can
point out?
I know with the Note, the AOSP/AOKP roms had the whole Bravia/Beats/Thunderbolt tweaks (not that I need them or anything) just wondering if there is any like them
Thanks once again.

Tell me how it goes! It's an extremely well built rom
Yeah, I know what you mean, haha. I used to flash like 5-10 roms a day; I just couldn't find the right one! But ultimately stuck with Task's AOKP.
There's this other rom that is very similar to a Galaxy Note II experience, if you're looking for one that is. It also has the Bravia Engine and DSP Manager (kinda like Beats). Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951115

I liked it a lot! Really really smooth!
Sooo I got the OK from the future Mrs
So I'm running the rootbox ROM...
So far its amazing! And everything is working.. I couldn't stay away from aosp Lol
Any opinions on Liquid Smooth or have you tried it?
On the Note it was crazy fast or smooth so I'm gonna see how it does on the GS3.
