Best AOSP ROM?

I'd like to go back to AOSP (or AOKP, doesn't matter). I just want to go back to stock Android and be done with Touchwiz.
Currently, what's the best AOSP-based ROM? When I say best, I mean bug free, usable as a daily driver, and with good/decent battery life. Most of the ROMs I'm seeing are nightlies or still have a lot of bugs.
I don't care if it's JellyBean or ICS.
Any ideas?

The 9/15 CM10 nightly works great for me as a daily driver and I need my phone for work. The flickers are almost non-existent and it's really not annoying. The more recent nightlies of CM10 seem to have newer issues, but 9/15 is extremely stable.

I just keep flashing the cm10 nightlies. I certainly use all the roms, but it's worked well for me. They had the echo fixed in a couple days.
Plus, Cyanogen works for Samsung.
I have an offer from lucid (which works with Samsung). Anyone want to take their money. They want apps
Pm, however.

Which are you flashing?

Been using CM10 since nightlies started. Tried them all but I feel AOKP is more tailored to the Galaxy Nexus for whatever reason. It has a lot of navbar customizations that I loved when I had mine.

[Q] Which JB Rom are you running?

I like how stable my stock rooted ICS is, but I want to try a JB Rom. Which one would you guys recommend? Most important thing (for me) is for it to be stable and bug free (as much as possible).
So, to those who have tried many of the Roms in the Dev section, which one would you say is the most polished?
Thanks in advance.

I've been running AOKP JB since my GS2 and have had no problems whatsoever, none that weren't self induced anyways. Rock solid and smooth like glass, especially with the KT747 kernel.

running liquid smooth, everything is great except i can't get LTE to work

Thanks guys. I'm on the US AT&T Network. Having data is important. Sorry I forgot to mention it earlier.

The most polished? Hmm that's a tough one since they all have bugs, but nothing that wouldn't be considered a DD.

I'm running Paranoid KANGdroid, a mix of CM10, Paranoid Android, and AOKP.

Ran liquid smooth for a while loved it. Only problem was video recording had very low volume. Otherwise flawless.

Tytung cm10 nexusHD2 v1.1 4.1.2 jelly bean for me.

I've tried many (not all) and for me the most stable are aokp and liquid smooth. I haven't tried CNA but I'm sure its rock solid too.

Thanks guys. I'm trying AOKP now, so far it's good. I miss TW though.

I am running DrewGaren's JellyBean747 Milestone6. It is stock with TW and for me is running perfectly.

I'm running Codename Android 3.6.6. Been playing around with it a couple of days. So far, I'm loving how clean and polished this rom is. Only flaw I can really see in this build is that A2DP support seems to be broken. Here's hoping that version 3.8.0 fixes that:fingers-crossed:

I'm also running DG JB M6 and loving it. The only thing I can say that I'm having a problem with is that it says 4G when I'm in an lte area. I'm getting lte speeds, but it just doesn't say it in the earlier icon bar. No complaints about that.
I can't wait for the M7 to be released shortly. I haven't tried any other rom as of yet. Haven't found a reason to leave DG and his great work.
One thing that I would like is to have the abity to over clock the gpu. As far as I know that can't be done on the kernel that DG uses. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Can anyone suggest another rom that is a reliable?
I'm in Canada running on Rogers.

I had problems with Liquidsmooth, it would constantly restart and close apps. I have not had any of those issues with AOKP, BAKED, asylum, or the Stock Rooted. I used TWRP for all my flashing.

I am waiting for DGs 1.2 serenity at the moment.. just a question tho.. not sure on all the cm10 aok tw names.. but is there a rom that looks and feels like Nova launcher.. i like the fact you can fit more apps on the screen and more at the bottom.

Well I'm about to put on the new JB M7. I'll report back with how it runs good me.

AOKP - i have tried them all and this one has been the most stable

RootBox 10/25 nightly

i've tried out AOKP and CM10. both are great. thinking about switching to a TouchWiz custom ROM now. looks like i'll be choosing between drewgaren's Milestone 7 and Serenity 1.2

[Q] Which ROM for my girlfriend?

My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship, so I can't really help her when she has problems on her phone. I am currently with her and I've previously had AOKP and CyanogenMod on her phone. While they generally work perfectly fine, there may be issues that I can't easily diagnose from afar. What Touchwiz (non-AOSP) ROM would you guys recommend for long-term stability, optimal battery life, and features. Unlike me, she does enjoy Touchwiz....so using a Touchwiz ROM isn't a problem.
Suggestions?

My first suggestion would be to try several to see which one she likes. If the time isn't available, then I would suggest taking a look at Triune 2. Basically, a debloated stock rom with some custom tweaks. It's what both my wife and I run, though hers isn't as personalized as mine. And if it's important, google wallet works with it.

Try miui, its like android meets iphone and sweet themes. Its probably not the most stable choice though, despite how much it might appeal to the novice android user.
Aokp is very stable, I'm on slimbean right now and its been 100% stable so far. I haven't been on a tw ics ROM since the first few hours I got my gs3 back in july. Drews stock tw jellybean is pretty stable might want to give that a try too.

I've actually been quite partial to DrewGaren's ROM's.... currently Serenity 1.2 based on an AT&T JellyBean ROM for the Galaxy Note 2, and JellyBean747, based on the latest JellyBean leaks/official builds from other carriers.
As for custom ICS TouchWiz ROM's.... haven't really used one in a while since i'm hooked on JB... but i did quite like kyanROM.

I really want her to have JB as she currently has it and surely doesn't want to go back to ICS. I'll do a nandroid and have her try out the DrewGaren ROMs first and see if she likes those. Thanks!

Well heads up if your talking d g stock tw jb rom im on it and yes its good but read through some of the few pages myself and a few members are talking about..
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Right now there's now perfectly stable stock touchwiz jb ROMs for our s3 yet as far as I'm aware, and may venture to say the aosp ROMs are more stable and have less issues. I may be wrong as I havent tried too many tw jb roms but have read quite a bit. Ariel 2.10 is a rock solid tw ics build and the upgrade to jb is minor enough I can't see why your girlfriend would mine it until a better tw jb ROM is out.

I kid I kid. Wannalite is a ICS stable TW rom. Either that or MIUI. But its still experiancing some growing pains and not quite 100 percent stable.
I'm running JB TW from TeamInsomnia with Ktoonz kernel with absolutely no issues.

I have tried some of them, but which one is the best? Because I don't think I'd want to flash all of them.

^^^^ this.
And besides, most of the available Roms are equally stable / very soon to be stable.
Do a good flash, making sure to wait a while right after flashing, and all will be good.

You need Jedi Jelly 6. Its a Samsung Touchwiz ROM. I have had nothing but smooth performance.

I've really been enjoying the AOKP Jellybean. There are some minor issues with bugs being worked out with the nightlies, but overall it's dope!

I've been on CM 10.1 nightly 03/23 since that day and it's really nice. Everything works smoothly and CM is a pleasure.

Does the TouchWiz work on it?

touchwiz = jedy jelly or stock
aosp = cm

Infamous S2 is very good too.

I second this one. Jedi Jelly 6 is very smooth. My only issue with it is that it's based off of a leaked AT&T ROM.
I believe ptmr3 (the dev) is working on a new version that is based on the recent 4.1.2 release specifically for the SGH-T989.

I switched to an AOSP based ROM and I'm never looking back despite wifi calling being a cool feature, but I never used it. Anyway, I've been using 2.2 Slimstars which was pretty great. The updates seemed to be a little unstable like the camera not working. Is the new one, 4.12 pretty much fixed? And are there many changes with 4.2.2? I may try PACman. How's that stability wise? Stability and speed (I just want it to work without waiting you know?) are priorities.

ptmr3's Jedi Mind Trick JB 2.1 is by the the fastest and smoothest and glitch free rom out there
I have tried almost all roms of the ICS and JB flavour
personally I do not like non touchwiz roms
and all CM and AOKP 4.2 roms do not support MHL output or Bluetooth mouse properly
everything seems to work on JMT except for OP known issues

Pure 4.4.2

I'm trying to find as close to stock kitkat rom as I can that works well and is stable on the gnex. Suggestions?

You can try ShinyROM, it's the most stock ROM currently

I think AOKP KK Rom is stable and it's close to stock kitkat rom

Shiny.

Shiny is the most stock like. Liquid, Vanir and Omni I believe are the fastest, especially if you pair them with DirtyV kernel.

Any ROM is going to be fast when you pair it with the right kernel.
I personally love CM Remix. It is cm based. DSP manager works flawlessly on it and it has tons of features on it and its super stable. Of course whenever you go messing around with different kernels, there's always a chance you will mess up the stability of the ROM.
My personal opinion is to try each one out. I don't see any huge noticeable speed improvements between each ROM when flashing my kernel of choice.
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes of ROMs. So make a list of all the ROMs and try each one out for a few days each. Unless you're a flashaholic. We've all been there.
As far as which ROM is going to be more "stable", that's debatable. But a good indicator is how long has a ROM been around. How many builds or releases have there been? That's not to say that the ROMs that are new and fresh aren't as stable. But they do generally have less issues than the new ones.
