Currently best JB ROM (CM10 feautres-like)?

I know I'm probably gonna get some flak for this, but I'm not big on flashing new ROMS everyday. I'm using CM9 RC1 and rather than flashing RC2, I'd rather try something with Jellybean. I've tried both CM9 and AOKP build 40, and frankly felt more comfortable with CM9, I don't like some things in AOKP (like the huge notifications toggle, compared to the not so intrusive CM9 notification toggle).
So here's the question:
As of now, which is the best Jellybean ROM out there, incorporating the kind of features you'd expect from a CyanogenMod rom?
I had my eye in Jellybro and Paranoid, but would like to hear more from other users before plunging.
Thanks!
PS: Oh, I have GSM GNex

I don't think I know of any ROMs like CM10 just the CM10 Alpha builds and the only one I have seen so far that is only CM10 is Kang's JellyBro but be warned that these CM10 ROMs are Alpha builds meaning that a lot of things are going to be broken and you will be flashing an updates about once a week as they fix new bugs. Of course you don't have to flash the updates that often but you will probably want to get the increased functionality with each update.

Xenon HD 4.0

What about "stock" ROMs like Android Revolution HD? How do these stack up against trully stock JB?

I completely agree. It's an awesome ROM. This coming from a person who had never unlocked, rooted, or flashed a ROM on the Nexus. It's very stable and rocks!
Also Iceandfire updates are frequent.

Swapped from Jelly Belly to AOKP JB preview and loving it, it's much more stable. As far as the notif toggles in AOKP.. You can easily change them to your liking in ROM Control, I don't like the big "switch" style toggles either.

total noob here, read 100,s of post and just really have two questions .if I use the toolkit and make recovery, root and unlock boot loader then down.load something like the paranoidandroid Rom an flash that on I'm good to go? an question two in the toolkit I seen the couple different back ups ,does any of them restore like contact photos an other customizations I've had before hand and if so do I just wait til I have th paranoid up and running and follow toolkit steps to restore ?thank you much

Well you can either create a nandroid backup through recovery or you can use Titanium Backup and then make sure when you back up you back up contact storage and restore contact storage. Doing either method will backup and restore all your contacts as they were. The same can be done for backing up and restoring text messages except you back up the phone/messaging storage in Titanium Backup.

newer AOKP port for DHD/Inspire??

has anyone or can anyone port a newer version of AOKP for the DHD/Inspire? like milestone 1 or whichever one is newest? I personally only like aokp and not too fond of the aosp or aospx. I flashed Pacman rom but had too many problems with it.
so if anyone can port one it would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks a lot

You mean AOKP Android 4.2? We've just got an AOSP based 4.2 ROM, so I'd just be paitent for a AOKP based follow up. If not, maybe you can suggest it to synergy or RandomBlame? I believe RandomBlame already has a 4.2 ROM, but it's in its baby stages as of yet.

no a JB version 4.1 im back to running aokp release 7 from the github. but hasnt been a new one since like September.

RandomBlame is on Release 30 now, look for JellyTime in the Development forum

I don't know about 4.2 AOKP, but if it's options you want you could try cfX 4.2.

I tried aosp ROMS and cfx 4.1 but I don't like them as much as AOKP for some reason. Although I have not tried cfx 4.2 yet. Was waiting for Bluetooth to work. Also I've tried jellytime aosp and I always come back to aokp. I ran Icecoldsandwich for the longest time but I want to stay on JB and not ICS. If I actually had the time (kids,work,wife) I would try porting a newer aokp over to dhd/inspire myself but I never have time. Even dropping a deuce is apparently a "team sport" according to my kids. LOL.

bump?

cfX bluetooth works now, if that is what's still preventing you from using it.

The reason is very obvious one
AOSP - clean unbranded stock android
AOKP - unbranded android with cleanly built in to settings menu additional features like CPU OC, status bar tweaks etc.... with everything else as close as possible to AOSP.

Thank God. if I knew how to Port and had the time I would have done it myself. but major thanks go to PipelinerArd for the ROM.

[Q] Considering rooting/flashing a ROM

Hey all so I'm fairly new to this whole world of rooting and flashing custom ROMs (although I know how to) and I had just a couple of questions. I was thinking of flashing CM10.1 but I'm unsure of which to flash, should I just flash the most recent snapshot or the most recent stable version(10.0)? Is it more experienced people who typically flash the nightlies? I tried posting on the CM forums but they are incredibly slow.
Also, I know that there is no "best" ROM but I would like to know: what ROM are you on? Why did you choose it?

Personally I need my ROMs to be pretty stable for work, so I won't go with nightlies because they can vary in reliability somewhat.
I had avoided CM10.1 based roms for a while because I was worried about stability. My first couple of attempts didn't go so well. Lately though I've found that most all of the 10.1 based ROMs have been pretty solid and just vary in features and looks more than anything.
After using various stock ROMs (all freeza's), I switched over to LiquidSmooth for a while. When Carbon split off I followed that thread for a little while, but the last release just didn't work that great for me and I switched back to LiquidSmooth. I've found it rock solid stable, excellent battery life, and all of the AOSP features I need.
I think you'll find an extremely wide array of opinions on the ROMs. Everyone likes different ROMs for different reasons. It took me a solid day of flashing various ROMs when I first started out, so take your time and try everything that looks interesting. There are some amazing developers around here!

Thanks! I figured there would be a range of opinions but still wanted to ask. So does that mean I have to wipe data/cache and flash the new nightly every time it comes out?

No, not necessarily. The trick though is that you can never be certain where your issues may be coming from if you don't do a clean flash (wiping everything). You'd be amazed at how many completely unexplainable little nagging bugs show after a few consecutive dirty flashes. So by dirty flashing a lot of the time you don't know if the latest version has bugs or if the dirty flash is causing little issues so you've essentially added another layer of troubleshooting difficulties to the issue. You'll also find that 99% of the time if you haven't done a clean flash the devs will tell you to do a clean before you try anything else when reporting a bug. That kind of says something.

Wipe data/cache/dalvick for a clean install. Possibly even internal sometimes. Just make sure whatever you are flashing is on the external card, such as your ROM and GAPPS.

Oh thanks for the tip and do I have to wipe them in that order? I feel like it's always listed that way for a reason

I would HIGHLY recommend to you Liquid Smooth RC2. Its blazing fast, amazing battery life, loads of customizations, Android 4.2.2 and it is based off of CM10. Just try it out and you'll never flash another ROM!

Once you start flashing, you'll probably never want to stop.
I might suggest going with a pure CM 10.1 to get an idea of things. Then go to one of the 4.2.2 ROMs based on 10.1 so you can get a gauge of the differences. Right now though my vote is LiquidSmooth for the ROM.

I think I'm just gonna go with LiquidSmooth then
I have another question, do I have to flash my gapps RIGHT after the rom? or can I just do the rom and all other apps after I reboot and see what I have
And do you recommend using goo manager? It looks nice but I feel like doing it myself with adb is a lot safer

I use TWRP which allows me to queue up multiple zips to flash in one go. So I do the ROM and gapps.
Never took the ADB route for the S3, but that's just laziness. I used this to root and install the recovery. Then I just put the ROM and gapps on the SDCard and started flashing.

What is the most stable 4.3 ROM?

Please include build date if its a particular build also please include any modifications u do. Like new kernel or tweaks. Also for kickers include radio version.

ive been using pro bam 4.3 rom and it has been great. except for battery running out a little fast but am giving it a few days for the rom to settle in!

PA 3.99
I have been messing around with a lot of 4.3 roms and pretty much all of them have the same stability. As for me, I prefer PA (Paranoid Android) 3.99 and PAC Rom but more toward PA 3.99 because it just seem slightly less buggy and bit smoother. Again, to each their own at this point since there is no official 4.3 for this device.

I've been using Hellybean , always you the latest, no issues. Love it.

As others have said its really just a preference thing. I have been trying out a few different ROMs, just to see which ones I like the most, especially 4.3 versions. I have been using [ROM] Unofficial | CyanogenMod 10.2 | Diablo Kernel [09-23-13] from ThdDude for the past day or two and havent had any issues to speak of. I really like that it has the Diablo Kernel compiled. I have noticed though that for some reason when I was trying to Flash 4.3 ROMs with CWM the system would boot but then go black and would have to go into recovery. I finally decided to give TWRP a try and havent experienced any problems flashing 4.3 ROMs. I have actually really been enjoying it and have some real respect for the developers.

stable 4.3 roms
The best I have used is the 9/26 aokp by whitehawkz along with uber kernel. Running 2.6.3.0 twrp. Especially like the active notifications with no problems.

There is no BEST and yet they are all the BEST. Members are expected to research and read through the development threads before altering their device. The only thing you will get here is a list of all the ROM's because every member has found what is best for them. You can get the same list by looking at the first few pages in development.
Thread closed.
Have a great day!

Switching from Dirty Unicorns to Cyanogenmod

Hi Friends,
I am currently running Dirty Unicorns ROM (Android 4.4.2) in my Galaxy S2 T989. I wanted to switch to Cynogenmod 10.2 which would be Android 4.3.
1) Please let me know whether we can go from 4.4.2 to 4.3 or it has a chance of giving problems while installation of CM.
2) I am thinking that I can simply put the CM 10.2 zip and GAPPS on my external SD and boot into recovery(I'm having CWM recovery) to install the CM 10.2 after wiping data and cache. Correct me If there is any other step to follow to switch to CM from other ROMs.
3) Gonna take a backup of user apps using Titanium backup in Dirty Unicorns 4.4.2 and restore those user apps after installing CM 10.2. Please let me know if this works.
Thanks in advance.

It should work if you wipe system, cache, Dalvik cache, and Android secure. Restoring apps might not work. Why go from 4.4 to 4.3? Anything you don't like?

You shouldn't have any problems downgrading if you follow these instructions. However, I will tell you that Cyanogenmod 10.2 stable didn't have the greatest performance on my Hercules - I had a slow lockscreen wakeup and some laggy audio. You might try 10.2 and see if it works any better for you, but I've been much happier with the performance of CM 10.1.3 stable.

Is it! I'm even fine to go to CM 10.1.3. S2 Hercules is my friend's phone and it's me who has changed the ROM to dirty unicorns but now he is not happy with the bugs.
I own a Galaxy S3 running CM 10.2. It's just awesome and super fast so that's the reason I planned for CM 10.2 for S2 Hercules too.
Does CM 10.1.3 have Apollo music player?

CM 10.1.3 does have Apollo! I didn't spend much time on 10.2, but 10.1.3 seems to have every feature from 10.2 (aside from the android version number of course). The difference in speed and responsiveness from stock has been great for me.

I've mostly tried out Jelly Bean ROMs, and as far as JB goes I'd have to say Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 has been my favorite for its simplicity and performance. However, if you're looking for much more customization, AOKP Jelly Bean MR1 Milestone was very stable and performed similarly well to CM. Haven't tried many KitKat ROMs yet, but the new SlimKat release as well as Paranoid Android Legacy seemed great. I stayed with CM for now though.

Nope, when you flash a ROM it'll come with it's own kernel. You can search XDA for a custom kernel (usually includes overclocking features, tweaks, etc), but I've never used a custom one personally. Enjoy!

That's the exact reason I moved to cm 10.1.3, lock screen lag is nearly nonexistent. Still not quite as snappy as stock, but the best I've found in a custom rom.
