Same as above for SuperAosp.
This is the thread you want, although it has not been updated with the newer ROMs.

You're using Nexus S. The freedom is in your hand.
I'd just try any ROM out there. If one of them seems to be good, make a backup with CWM, then try the rest -- this way you can always switch back and forth. Once you have tried them all, you'll know which ROM suits you most

CM7 is my daily use rom. but i plan on trying out infinity today, have high hopes.

[Q] Most rocksolid ROM for non techie use.

I love my TF101 and I have always had the cutting edge ROMs on it and just accepted any bugs that it may have knowing I can flash a different one later.
Due to my dad going out of town for work and me not needing my TF, I said he could take it to use to browse the web.. He doesnt need it for anything other then that. He has a GNex so knows the basics of how to run ICS/JB. but he is not about to go root anything..
I want to know what is the best and most rock solid ROM to put on my TF for him.. Like once I hand it off to him, everything should work 100%.. No SOD, RR, or any other issues like the dock not charging, etc.. I need to be able to hand it off to him with a Rock solid Daily Driver ROM that just works.. I dont need any crazy customization or anything fancy..
I personally had ran CM10 and AOKP on it and loved both of them, but they both had bugs that wouldnt fly for him..
Would I be better off going back to stock? Is AOSP rock solid? any other ROMs out there that have 0 issues that a nontechie could use?
I recommended you to flash back its stock firmware. As you see, your dad using a stock rom on Gnex. It will lot more easy for your dad to use a stock firmware.

Makes sense.. Just crushes me to take it from JB back to ICS, even though he wont know a difference, it makes a difference to me.. I was hoping someone had a rocksolid rom to avoid me flashing back to stock, but I will probably end up doing just that.
Go rooted stock ICS with G, s 22.6 kernel. Little OC'd to 1200.
I put both the oldies on it and no drama.. Been 5 months..
I just did a trip back home as OS
And checked it.. All good..

Usage isn't the problem..It's bugs in a Rom that he can't deal with. I will flash back to stock and rock a different kernal. Thanks for the help guys.

I recommend Revolver 4 Rom by Gnufabio, it's rock solid and with Guevor kernel v23 it really flies
Jelly Bean: Team EOS Jelly Bean #74 (With K.A.T kernel)
Has all the good stuff like trackpad cursor, launcher buttons work(and notify when they have been used), very smooth
ICS: Revolution or Revolver
Just as solid as the stock firmware, just faster.
CyanogenMod 9 Stable is what I use and found it to be stable as the developer says I understand the desire to test out the latest and greatest but not to actually use it as your main operating system since it's still in the testing phase and has bugs such as crashes, locks ups, random shutdowns/reboots etc personally I would prefer to just temporarily test out the latest and greatest then go back to what's stable.

Overwhelmed...

I was looking forward to the potential development on the S3 back when I pre-ordered, but wow this is too much. A new ROM everyday, existing ROMs updated as often, several kernels crossing carriers, mods covering everything, and so much more to come.
I don't know where to start. Not really looking for suggestions (but I will listen... ). I really just want to thank ALL the developers for all their hard work.

It's not too complicated, all roms fall into TouchWiz, Hybrid, or AOSP.
You can't go wrong with going with a TouchWiz rom based on 4.1.1 samsung's TouchWiz. Synergy is a popular rom with many features. CleanROM is a very good unbloated rom. I use CleanROM myself.
But before you do any of that you have to root it and then install the apps to unlock your bootloader and install a recovery tool. The recovery tool will allow you to flash new roms.
you seem to have done some research, heres another good guide to read if youre still in that phase.

good luck!
id recommend flashing an AOSP rom for a week, and then a TW JB rom for a week an decide which one is best for you. at the moment id recommend a 4.1.2 rom if you try AOSP. its much more stable than the 4.2 roms that are currently available
I guess I should have mentioned that I am rooted and unlocked, have been for about 3 weeks, but have not done a thing except TB, and AdAway. I just keep reading different ROM and kernel threads.

For complete trouble free operation, keep what the creators put on it. Or just read the threads on your choice rom and if the problem dont bother you or you like problems, have fun and flash away.
I came from the Transformer Prime and am loving my Note. After rooting, I looked around at the other ROMS. I happen to be one of the folks who likes Touchwiz and the custom software that Samsung installed (s-notes, multiwindow, etc., so I decided to just leave the stock ROM installed.

Welcome to the Family
Actually you can just try to flash those custom ROMs out there.
Each of them has their own advantages / disadvantages, just try it if it's suitable for your need.
As for me I use ARHD (thanx to Mike, the creator).
It has stock look & feel, but still customizable without losing any of samsung features.
I'm sure that ARHD as well as Omega ROM come from developers that know their stuff very well as for me I'm using Omega with a grey theme. But I'm desperately waiting for the JKay framework to be announced for the Note 10.1

I just left mine stock and rooted it..... Tried the cooked roms but couldn't get rid of the custom tag in bootloader that stopped me from using the allshare hub....
Rooted, ran triangle away, re-installed latest stock firmware with Mobile ODIN and did total wipe when installing. ALL custom counters set back to Official and 0 flash count while still rooted...
Thanks for the input, so far have tried 2 roms out, redemtion and Arhd. Both run really well. Made a nandroid of stock rooted. Thanks again.

MIUI v4 Question

Hello everyone, I'm new to root and flashing ROMs. I have tried CM10 (which I love) I've also tried Clean ROM and Hyperdrive ROM. So far I've liked them all for different reasons. I'm interested in trying MIUI v4.1
I read somewhere (I don't remember where I saw it) that using MIUI you lose SU access and TBU... is this true? If so I'm thinking it would be a waste to try it. Also does anyone know if v4.1 is stable?
Thanks

As long as this doesn't turn into a my ROM is better than your ROM or a playground for people trying to get 10 posts.....it can stay open.

I wanted stock android with some of the features that touchwiz offer. Very well put together ROM.
thanks for all answer ,im using stock rom right now :laugh: please give thanks to my post please :victory:
Jellybam
If you have one of it's many supported devices, I highly reccomend Jellybam. Jellybam has many features from many ROMs, and is not disimiliar to PAC-Rom, but I find many more options to customize, like custom notification background, and even custom halo color etc.
Overall, for my P3110, the ROM is quite fast, even without over clock, and the Deva update it quite frequently, plus these updates are stable and most of the time quite major and useful

Just recently picked up the Carbon rom and loving it! I use them for the customization and the fact that they boost performance and battery life
The phone I own is a first gen LG Optimus V. The ROM I use now is MiRaGe CM7.2 ROM. The reasons I rooted and flashed was to get better performance, over clocking, USB Tethering, removel of all bloat ware and useless apps, and to be able to make Nandroid backups of my installed ROM, apps, and settings. Before I did all this, I ran stock Froyo 2.2.1 and was plagued with all sorts of problems the LG Optimus phones were known for. And I was 100% o.k. with voiding my warranty too.:good::laugh:

My old HTC Desire used Cyanogen Mod, my current HTC One X and S3 are using Stock Roms still.
My tablet at the moment using Ubuntu Touch, might go for another rom as the Ubuntu Touch is missing some key features I want in the tablet right now as it is a Dev release. Will hopefully go back to Ubuntu Touch in a later release when those features are there.
