Hello guys, it has been a long time,
Today I finally unlocked my bootloader, I want to install a rom like ICS or JB and I would like to hear some recomendations about what are the best kernels and the best rom. I know that it comes to personal choice but since this is something new for me, it would be nice to have some advice.
Thanks!

Congratulations! Now, what model do you have, so we can better recommend roms/kernels for you. I have a CMDA phone (R800x), and I've been jumping around various Jellybean roms and kernels. I find the P.A.C rom and Lupus v8 to work best for my needs. It has a ton of features, and seems to be one of the more stable Jellybean roms. If you're wanting to dualboot with a Gingerbread rom, I know the most recent release of Turbo kernel v 3.1 does just that.
What were you looking for in a rom/kernel?

Im using the turbo kernel with slim bean on my r800x. is the pac rom any better ?
My mobile is an R800a (GSM) and what I'm looking is for something cool, stable, and battery friendly I'm not much of a hardcore gamer but I do like some games that require a really good performance and I don't really care that much about dual booting as I got bored of Gingerbread, that's why I unlocked my bootloader.

I used slim for a while, I had a few issues with it. But overall, it was a rather stable rom. I just liked the feel of P.A.C better, and I also had a weird service issue with Slim and issues with the gapps, I think. I also haven't used Turbo in a while, I might have to check it out again soon.

GSM has a lot of roms to choose from, lucky for you. What you could do, is look into running something like one of the NXT roms, which is based on 2.3.7 usually. From the looks of it, it has great performance, since it's Gingerbread, and it has the feel of Ice Cream Sandwhich. If you don't care about gaming too much, Jellybean has some great roms out there.
For both of you: The key is to try them and find which ones work best for you, because there is no best rom out there.

it´s really a question that you can´t solve by yourself testing several roms?
i tested a lot of roms and the majority are stables and fast (always custom rom of course )) my current rom its wrote in my syg (it don´t means that the rest are worse....)simply ITS MY CURRENT ROM
I think that it hasn´t better answer.... the only thing that i can say is try several roms since @Seraphic pure android 2.3.3 to AOSP roms, themed roms.... and decide.
Yeah i went and used a few other rom's but to be fair i got the best out of Android Revolution, though i've also had RCMix rom's they are always good fun to use
I would recommend LeeDroid. It's stable, fast, and very well supported and updated by the developer. Highly customizable too
I'm using Revolution and love it. But it's really about testing out each ROM and seeing which one suits your needs. You'll be sure to find more and more ROMs you love. Then just pick the one you found the most usable and more to your style.
Obviously always make sure to check over new ROM updates to see if maybe another ROM offers something a bit more.

under my opinion, this is the best answer..
Try and play around flashing. Its also fun anyway. xD
Thank you guys. The only reason im reluctant on keep flashing roms is due to fear of bricking. I mean I spent £340 for the phone and I dont want it dead lol

hey guys any idea which is best for you?
The best stock based ROM is imo Acronium, but I like CM7 more.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
nice love CM7 too
Stock+tweaks is the best! Since you can utilize all features of your phone with stock only! Hence acronium or xperia mod gets my vote. Both of them are nearly identical since they are based on stock ROM.
What's better:
xperia mod or arconium?
Just tried arconium and I'm liking it so far.

My vote is for se-tweaked

No the best ROM is SE Tweaked 0.8.5 compaed to any other stock or custom build. Team it with Doomkernel and you have a superb lag free fast phone.. For me CM always appeared dull compared to the stock ROMs. And typical to any CM ROM it had missing features and poor battery.

With cm you also cant use the keyboard in landscape properly without hammering the space bar key which is pretty retarded imo. Also the camera sucks. Im on stock with doom kernel personally. I had a look at arconium but couldn't really see any benefit over stock rom same with xperia mod. Might give se tweaked a go though.
what about stock .62 ? anyone used it ?
Which are the best ROM for battery??? Arconium, xperiamod or se tweaked??? Only expert please and one reason thanks

I have used Arconium with doomlord kernel for few weeks now. Very good battery usage in my average use (2 days usualy). I tested few roms and always went back to stock, before I found Arconium.
SoftWhite MIUI! I love it!
i Use FXP104 an i love it, the only think i dont like is that the batterie lasts not very long
my vote for Arconium with DooMKernel
..fast, no lags, and battery drain is excellent
I'm happy with stock 042 but I'm thinking to give a try to Arconium....
Do it
I regret that I waited till I tried it, it's AWESOME!

Can I add the Bravia Engine and SE camera app in Arconium?
can any of these roms be installed on a rooted & recovery installed but LOCKED BOOTLOADER Arc S?? reason i ask is that i used to use a W8 & i didnt unlock bootloader on that but i was still able to flash custom roms in it......i m really very apprehensive about unlocking bootloader in case i brick it or something
Hi guys I have a T-mobile Samsung SGH-T989 galaxy s2.
Im looking for a rom that is simple, fast and has a better battery life.
Could you guys plz include some links because I already bricked my phone once and had to replace it.
Thank you
If you are looking for gb roms try slick mod I used for a while battery life is sick its fast and light.. Lots of gb roms are out there great once head to develop forum and make sure to follow the directions so you don't brick your phone again.. As of ics they are bit buggy I would stay away and try gb roms first enjoy

Thanks for the reply, could you give me a link plz? i dont want to get the wrong rom like i did when i bricked my old phone
What's the difference between GB ROMS AND Ics ROMS? Do you think i can use the [ROM] Juggernaut v5.0 because i just rooted my phone like 2 days ago.

Ics is the latest version of android and has been further optimized and includes more features compared to gingerbread. It hasn't been officially released for our phone so ics roms are still buggy.
You can use whatever rom you'd like

Hey all!
Just curious, what are the current best ICS roms? Im currently on stock GINGERBREAD and ready to take the jump to ICS. I always thought CM9 was the best, but I've heard its still a little unstable and slow/laggy. What are my other options??
Thank you~

I really like the Pureness Rom by sechko check it here is faster and estable and it has the same support for touchpads as markphyton's ROM
for me CDMA user, i love my AOKPlay.., almost all stuff work
combined with Turbo Kernel, it give great experience
Yeah i was curious myself i just got a cdma r800x on order wanna gonna upgrade it when i got it never expected to see so many different rom options lol so none of ics is good for gaming? Which ones are, i dont think ill ever use phone side of device (least for now) but ill be using all game settings wifi bluetooth gps all buttons etc and pretty much everything else maybe phone down road... any good suggestions?
Markpython just posted on his thread that Sony is to use his ROM to re-create Official ICS for Play.

is it possible to install Markpython ROM on R800x (CDMA) ? and apply CDMA Fix to get data?
it really a great ROM but too bad only developed for GSM
now we have CM10, MIUI and KXP roms based on jb and are being constantly updated and fixed...
if i wanna change over to jb rom which one would be better? more or less stable?
if so can anyone tell a bit about the jb rom you use(kinda small review) and suggest rom and kernel for jb??
thank you
Take a read at the topics. Read whats working or not. Read the replies by others about the rom.
Compare. Decide the one that suits you best.

As far as i know, every JB Rom uses CM/FXP Sources, especially, they all use CM/FXP Kernel(Sources).
If CM10 has got a bug "X", al other FXP roms do have this bug too!
I would go for CM/FXP, it is fast developing and gets weekly updates.
When i remember coorectly, Sony(Ericsson) used to support them with devices and libs, but i am not 100% sure about that.

It should be stated in the OP's of the thread's what works and what doesn't along with any other tweaks or mods that are included, and you should be reading through or at least reading the last few pages of the threads to see if there are any common issues that might affect you using a ROM or a Kernel for daily use, so it's up to you and you only to decide which you wanna choose, and that's what makes these kind of threads so annoying.
i use [AOKP][JB] great rom so smooth and fast
everything work great rom

AOKP is my choice, though it still has a few bugs. Anw, I love it because of its amazing smoothness. You also have tons of tools integrated in this ROM to customize your UI. So, give it a try, mate :good:
I personally am using AOXP on my Arc S right now and it seems to be working just fine. It's pretty stable, though I have to admit that it was the customizability that drew me in the most. However, like what some of the other members here are saying, you should check out the logs yourself as they would provide more concrete facts as compared to personal opinions. In addition, I'd recommend you try out various ROMs yourself and figure out which ones you like best. After all, everyone has different tastes.
