honestly i think your rom will be the best and most awesome rom ever. Head over here to build it.

I have used ARHD and was very happy with it. I just switched to the Gummy ROM this afternoon and I like it as well.
The problem is no one has enough info from you. Different ROMs have different features. Because of this, "best" is largely opinionated. Read through the [ROM] threads in the development section. Try and get a feel for what features you want then ask around for which one people like the most.
My experience:
ARHD: Pretty much 4.0.2 stock. No visual changes, just performance enhancements. Nice and smooth ROM
Gummy: based on leaked 4.0.3 with major enhancements. Toggles in the drop down menu. Ability to over clock and under volt. I have not ran it very long, but so far really like it.
Hope this helps.

I was on ARHD 2.1.2 for a little while. It ran much better than stock. Then I tried bigxie's ROM and it felt much smoother than ARHD. I'm currently using it with Franco's kernel. While benchmarks don't really tell the whole story, bigxie's ROM with Franco's kernel is quite fast. I get over 3000 on Quandrant (vs 2200 stock, although I think it's an optimization issue) and over 6300 on Antutu (vs. 6000). I like it b/c it looks stock, but adds a few conveniences, like having the power widget in the dropdown notification menu for easy toggling.

From the research I have done AOKP seems to be a winner...I have no experience with it as Im waiting for the price on the gnex to come down before I pull the trigger. But its a very popular among the members I know who have switched to the gnex.

I've always know what AOSP is but what is AOKP. I hear that alot.

Score one for the fellow Fascinate owner! If he can find one of the best ROMs available on the Gnex without even having one, the answer should be even more obvious to Gnex owners. I use the Toro version of AOKP myself and can confirm droidstyle's conclusion
Terminators run on Android

AOKP is simply the best one
Try the Milestone 2, its great!

Kang milestone 2, Franco kernel oc 1.35
Best I have used.

It's tough to say what is the 'best ROM' as different users want different things from a ROM, but personally, I really rate Bigxie and AOKP.
They are the only two ROMs I'd recommend for GSM Nexus.

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.

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!

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.

Jelly Bean AOKP vs Cyanogenmod 10

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone has thoroughly tested both Cyanogenmod 10 and AOKP with Jelly Bean. If you have, what are the performance differences, as well as the default theming, and most importantly, battery life. I'm currently on Bugless Beast which has no modifications, so I'm not really interested in which has more features, because I'm sure they're both full of them. Currently I get around 2 hours of screen on time (CDMA Nexus), which I consider good, so If you've experienced more than that on either of these roms, please let me know. I plan on switching to one of them when I receive some good reviews. Thanks

1) Make a backup of your current ROM
2) Flash either AOKP or CM10
3) Try said ROM out for ~1 week
4) Make backup of that ROM
5) Flash next ROM and try it out
*** NO ONE can tell YOU what ROM is going to run best on YOUR phone. You use your phone different then other people and their experience may not be the same as yours***
This is not meant to be rude, but just the dead honest truth.

Seriously, if you're not into customizing, stock. Stock ROM, stock kernel, just stock. Unless you have Verizon since there's no JB update I don't think
If you really want either of them, here's my "short comparison"
AOKP: AOKP is probably one of the most customizable ROM out there. It has all the settings that I personally care for and use a lot. On top of that, faux kernel helps this ROM run like a boss! Not a smoothest ROM though to be honest. Also not all the features from ICS is in JB yet, so keep that in mind.
CM10: This also has a lot of customization, but not as customizable as AOKP. (That's only by few features though). CM is known for how stable it is. I personally had no issue with CM when running it on my GSM phone. However, there isn't stable version yet.

I never tried CM9, but if it's anything like CM10 M1, AOKP Jelly Bean latest build has a bit more features. But I could personally care less for. You should just backup your ROM and try AOKP if you ask me. If you don't like it, you can simply restore.

Yeah, but CM is a bit more stable in my taste. But nothing to write a book about AOKP is very stable, like you said.

You can't judge a rom if it isn't labeled as "stable" by the dev.
I am using AOKP since the
early ICS builds and i am using their JB versions now. They have tons of customization (and much more to come) and although they are considered nightlies (actually they are weeklies or so ) they are pretty stable and fast.
I have always used franco kernel with it and it is just great.
I currently use AOKP build 4 with franco r281, a black wallpaper, black theme and auto brightness. I get 4 hours of on screen time using the extended 2000mah battery. Besides the on screen time the rom is very battery friendly, with no random wakelocks.

Testing both for sure. However I've tried both and...
I would recommend the newest unofficial build by LiquidSmooth JB 4.2.2. It's pretty darn smooth and the fastest I've come across. Most all the kinks if any have been ironed out!
Fast. Daily Driver. Great Features. Superb battery life!
Here's the thread with the download links. Any questions as well would be already answered there! Have fun.

Big thanks to itsmikeramsay!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1665225

Hey, I'm trying Liquid Smooth atm. It's pretty smooth so far
Only irk I have about it though is that it's missing Sound > Vibrate preferences. Ie When it's on silent it's not totally silent as the buttons still provide feedback (vibrations) on touch. The stock rom behavior is to be completely silent except maybe alarms. It's nothing major but an annoyance that hopefully will be gone at some point lol.
I thought I posted a reply already but I guess not??

Stable setup for my S3 (d2att)

For almost two months now I've been running my S3 on a CM nightly + leanKernel stable with great results!
I leave the clock speeds at default, and with Trickster MOD in Governor control i adjust InteractiveX screen_off_maxfreq to 594,000 and Multicore Power Saving to 1. I usually always flash different setups for different phones.. I go through about 5-8 androids a year, however ive kept this S3 longer than I usually keep phones and this setup has been DELIGHTFUL to me!

Absolutely try out Quantum, its like CM 10.2 on steroids and it gets updated every 2-3 days and gets much better battery life than the official CM nightlies. Quantum's only for d2att, so the developer has really awesome support and puts a lot of hard work into the rom.

If OP does flash Quantum, the newer kernels are a must have unless you run into stability issues. (Kind of rare, but still plausible.)

Quantum is a great ROM, and has a super kernel!
Just make sure that if you flash it, disable MP-Decision using an app like Trickster MOD... you need to read through some pages I believe to figure out that you actually have to - so just so you know

I think it's a great ROM however after flashing it I get reboots at least every 10 minutes and I'm not sure what's the cause of the instability because I updated the firmware to I747UCUEMJ2 and I also updated to the newest version of CWM...
