Any major benefits to it right now beside the major LoS issue. OC is not really a key factor in it for me with this phone since its fast anyway. I know custom roms usually always have a major benefit towards what they can do. but is it really worth it at this point. i have not once had any LoS issues, may just battery
PS. i just got my phone yesterday so i dont know much about samsung products. im use to rooting with HTC devices from the start of the hero, Evo, Evo Shift.
I waited a week to root and had no LOS. Then I flashed everything I could get my hands on and still haven't had LOS. The roms that are out all seem a little smoother and faster than stock. Just make sure you wipe data/cache/dalvik and format system before you flash a rom and you should never have any issues. Returning to stock is also so easy that there aren't any real drawbacks to rooting and flashing roms or kernels. If you're happy with the way it is now I'd just give it some time and read about the roms and kernels as everything progresses. I could live with my phone stock but I hate background processes and bloatware lol.

that's what im looking for, the better battery life, but stock is surprisingly good for me right now, except battery. Does either rom support signal feeds from other towers like CM did?? just curious, highly doubtful tho.

Do you mean forced roaming like on Verizon? If so then yes you can force a prl update to the phone that will let you control roaming. And as far as battery life I run the stock pulled kernel and have it set to 500Mhz Max when the screen is off and 1ghz when on and my battery life has been great (standby times are incredible).

ok well thank you. i been trying to find something useful in battery life. its stock right now due to researching make sure i use the right tools for rooting, but the phone dies rather fast with texting only, and when i dont text much.
Hey just bought this phone for my wife. I do a lot of flashing on my phone(evo3d) and just wanted to get some opinions on the best rom for this phone. Also there appears to be many ways to root this phone as well. Couple things I'm looking for in a rom is the best battery life and easy to use. And which rooting method works best. Thanks so much everyone.

my vote goes to viper rom. a ice cream sandwich rom is soon approaching
The stock ROM. It's pretty much perfect as is, aside from the bloatware which can be removed once rooted.
Starburst is best
Sent from my SPH-D710
With the los issues I'd say keep stock, unless you like to hear your wife complain. With stock you can't be complained to. If it was for you, I'd recommend something else. Keep stock on your wife's phone until a fix for los rolls out.
Edit: Don't even root until the los fix, unless you're wife is into the modding process. Or have app data you need to transfer over.

try getting your feet wet with one of Strong Steve's ODEX ROM's to get the benefit of aftermarket but still being ODEX. Personally i am running Calk's ROM but you are in the same boat as the rest of us, too many good ROM's, not enough time.

Either stock with removed bloat or one of strongsteves odexed roms. They are fast. I am a believer in odexed roms. Always have been and this is the first phone that someone develops odex for.

My two cents, stay stock deodexed with bloat removed. And stock kernel, my phone never dies. And it is still crazy fast.
But if you want custom, definitely get ready to use ICS. Hopefully that will be here shortly.

I see people are saying remove bloat... How do go about doing this? Thanks.

Caulkin's ROM.
My battery is better, the performance is about the same, but my GPS is MUCH MUCH MUCH improved! So much that I can't say enough about it. I also seem to be getting better radio performance with 1.5a from anything else I've used. I work in a large building, and the oh-so important bathroom time is enhanced because I'm getting better connectivity... Our bathrooms could double as tornado shelters... Seriously! My Moment wouldn't even connect, and my Epic I would choke as well. This ROM makes reading articles on the internet or tapatalk actually doable.
I'm currently still using starburst, I'm thinking about going back to stock with the recent release from squishy.
I have been running absolutely amazingly doing this:
Stock EG 31 Tar
Automated Root
Calkulin E4GT 1.5a
CM6 was great for me until I bought a new phone, have you not tried?
Syndicated Ice Hands down.. ill put it against all your favorites in free memory, responsiveness, speed, battery and Function.
I dont like the theme so i got casino universal on it
both great roms.
viper rom and midnight are my first choice.... until ics! havent had a los yet using the clockwork repacked stock kernel!
Calkulin's #1 crazy speed and stable. Syndicated rom is very nice and smooth.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Calk's ROM for stability and battery life.
Calkulin's ROM, for sure.
I'll have to give the nod to Calkulin's ROM for sure... Tried Starburst and ICE and like Calk's the best...
I just wanted something smooth, fast and most importantly reliable... I also wanted longer battery life! That's exactly what I got with this ROM.
Calkulin's 1.5a rom. As others said, it's snappy, stable and provides excellent battery life

also they say don't use any nandriod back up or flashing on ICS roms or leak builds because of instability. hope this helps

Jeep guy still owes me some hot wings so I'm going to correct his post.
Save these links, they come in handy.
Here are the rogue custom kernels, scroll down to the -Archive- section:

Here are the stock and also some of the older custom kernels:

Edit: To avoid any confusion, these kernels are for Gingerbread based ROMs.
Is there still any development going on for GB kernels? It seems like when ICS started showing up that kernel dev slacked off. Would love to see some new kernels that are tweaked for better battery life.

In my experience rouge gunslinger gave me AMAZING battery life I could easily get 2 days of use out of it but it made my rom run a little laggy. I am using EL26 right now with StrongSteves Odexed blue and it FLIES and battery life is still pretty good. Not as good as gunslinger but I couldn't deal with the lagging. Every device is different though you might get amazing battery life and performance with Gunslinger. Stay away from hitman it has caused a lot of problems.

If you want the latest software, most stable, and best battery life ROM, go with MMuzzy's AOSP ROM. Using it now, and its amazing
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
ROMs themselves rarely ever have an actual impact on battery life. Most postive effects for battery come from the kernel, and negative ones from rogue apps.
Before you ask which kernel offers the best battery, it really depends on the requirements of the user and the phone itself. You'll just have to try a few.

Flash it like you would a ROM. Make sure you find one that is for the version of android your ROM is based on. I would suggest tying Franco kernel, but there are many good ones.

FYI....this thread goes in general.
Flash kernel in cwm the same as you would have a rom. Be sure to clear cache/dalvik first.
For the moment the ROM with the best battery life is SlimRoms 2.7

I've tried many ROMs and Kernels with no success in the battery life department.
My phone charger died so I downloaded an app...Easy Battery Saver...my phone was still at 34% after 1 day and 7 hours. I was NOT heavily using my phone but still this is the best battery life I have ever experienced. I was always on the "battery saver apps are useless" team until recently.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still flashing
Just love my new app.
i tried miui, pa, vicious, aopk, smooth, and now using cm10. tried out different kernals too,but at the end, all the roms cant pass 1hr 50mins of screen time.

Hmm.. thats strange. I'm on MMuzzy's ROM which is pure AOSP and I get around 2 and a half hours of screen time. And some people around the forums have gotten around 5 hours of screen time with different combinations of ROMS and Kernels.
I have tried numerous roms, if not all of them for the galaxy nexus, and there is a difference between roms, even using the same kernel.
I have been getting amazing battery life using Eclipse.

The mods can move this thread, but in the mean time, it is a good question.
I used to get some awesome battery life. VZW + 2100mah. Typically 4 hours screen on time was normal.... now I'm lucky to get 1hr. I can't remember if it was the jelly bean update or the inclusion of Google Now.
Does letting the ROM settle really help? I have been getting terrible battery life out of my 2100mah. The battery just drains when the screen is off. No rogue apps, but this is a fresh install as of 24 hours ago

I believe use what you like as long as you use Lean Kernel you should get good battery life.

I wasn't going to put my 2 cents in but because there are so many complaints about this being in the wrong place, I just have to now.
I have tried many different ROM's and kernels and found there always seems to be the "right" combination sooner or later. Right now I am on AOKP w/Franco M6 and getting about 14 hours with 24% battery left, 2.5 hours screen time, mostly LTE and moderate phone use, best I have seen of any combo for me on this ROM. For CNA the right kernel for me was lean kernel. A little experimentation and patience and you will find that sweet spot soon enough.
Edit: the whining drew me to it, sucked me in so I couldn't stop myself from answering
If someone can get 4+ hours screen with mostly 3G, let me know. haha.
Wrong section
However as for battery life slim ROMs work great but I'm on jbsourcery built in trinity and I've definitely had worse d: the only ROM I've used that's had has battery is pa however they've had multiple updates since then so I'm sure its not horrible now

2 things here:
1) OP, wrong section. Questions belong in their own section, the Q&A section. Development is reserved for Roms, kernels, tweaks, etc.
2) If you guys see something posted in the wrong section, report it. No need to get in an internet gang war about it. Us mods have a life too and we can not be here 24 hrs a day to watch over you. When you hit the report button, we see it.
I'm really hesitant to flash a different kernel with this rom. I'm having crazy battery loss but I love the rom and don't want to change. Any suggestions from someone wiser than I?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
If its stock kernel you should try deleting useless apps.
I used the stock kernel and i have 15+ hours battery life. Also try using different modems, try the FI25 modem
At this point in time, source code for the JB kernel for the E4GT has not been released. Therefore, there are not any custom kernels. You need to stick with the kernel that came with the rom.

my battery life has been good in standby, a bit bad if I run something like the camcorder. In the past, I've had the best luck with CPU usage apps to determine which are using the processor more than you would like. I like Watchdog Task Manager Lite and Wake lock detector.
DO NOT FLASH A DIFFERENT KERNEL ON AOSP ROMS!!!!!
if you do that .... Lots of thing will go wrong, the kernel stays put
