Using paranoid Android right now. I like a lower dpi, but some apps don't play nice, so i need the per-app DPI. Loving it so far. Thought the phablet mode was useless, but things like 4.2 keyboard are so much better in tablet mode.

You should try the ROM from www.slimrom.net go to downloads and under device click hercules. I am currently running that ROM and its pretty good so far.

Jedi Mind Trick X3
I ran JMT X1 for about a month and loved it! Just went to JMT X3 along with the Jedi kernel and it's even better.
Just my opinion.

So Jedi kernel is applicable to JMTX3? JMTX3 is 4.0.3, Jedi kernels OP says something about 4.0.4 so I never flashed it.

slim ....onlychevy....great rom

I like All Star Rom (v4)... from what I can tell it's built off of PACman Rom (which is a combination of Paranoid Android, AOKP, and CM10: hence the PAC). I've used both Jedi Mind Trick and JK4 and 5.
The battery life, thus far, hasn't been as good as under the Jedi roms, but that could be because I've been playing with it so much. The sheer number of features and customizability make it worth it to me- I love the AOKP lock screen.

No it is not. The jedi kernel is for 4.0.4 but jmtx3 comes with a custom kernel made by faux so there's no need for another.

Kernels for aosp?

Ive been using touch wiz based roms and love the perseus kernel....if there is a kernel like perseus for aosp roms id like those rom more. Im looking for a kernel that has the audio tweaks and sound amp along with oc/uc capabilities.
Any help would be great thanks

Perseus is definitely the kernel for you if you like all its features. I do not believe there is an AOSP kernel that has all the features but the SOAPkernel which is found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186037 is a decent kernel for the AOSP roms. It is an OC kernel and made by the same developer that made all the JEDI roms and Saber kernel.
Hope it helps, but I would stick with the TW roms, Battery life is better too.

I co-sign this. Battery life using Beanstalk plus Devil kernel compares to no other ROM I've personally used. Easily 24hrs with 6-7 hrs screen time. Using Viper for sound and it sounds amazing.

Thanks guys......I'll start checking out the kernels Where do you get viper sound?
I'm actually running illusion ROM right now. I'm trying to like the aosp ROMs but the h+ icons bother me, not having audio tweaks in my kernel bothers me, I like the Samsung keyboard and I can deal with not having multi window because I have halo.
I hope they make a hybrid ROM that combines tw with aosp and actually keep up on it and update it

Pretty sure no, and definitely not. If you need bluetooth, you are probably looking at a TouchWiz ROM.

It's not bad. It's not as slim as AOSP, but S3Rx or Dandroid or both constantly updated and very good. One of them even has a pretty much flawless AOSP theme.

Like nonfunctional bluetooth? :laugh: I understand where you are coming from, for sure. I used AOSP for a long time, just couldn't deal with the issues anymore. TW will never be as fast as AOSP, but if you debloat it properly (see my signature), it's good enough. At least I don't have to wonder if the thing is going to work when I need it.
