If u want performance and really good battery life go with nscollab. If u want nightly updates go with cm7 if u want performance and eye candy go with miui. I bounce around nscollab and miui. Best roms in my opinion. I would also recommend tsm pool party. Great rom.?

Just not in public

As a user of all 3 roms, here are my thoughts.
Nightly flashes are cool because you get to see new updates , but there is a higher chance things will berak as they are not tested much.
NScollab is updated slowly, but it was really stable for me when i used it, so when i wanted to use my phone as a.. err, phone? I used NScollab.
Right now i am on MIUI Brainmasers edition, and it is perfect for me.
It gets weekly updates with a nice clean changelog (CM7 Changelog anyone? :O) and they are usually pretty stable.
The UI change is refreshing, nto to mention extra hidden features (prox support, map static ip address to network etc)

I bounce back and forth between MIUI weeklies and CM7 nightlies. Right now I'm on CM7.1 #228 with either matr1x or netarchy kernels. MIUI looks really nice, and is CM based, so I guess it's basically the same under the hood.

i've tried miui, both the official and brainmaster's mod (which is definitely the better of the two), both savage and deck's roms, pete's rom, cyanogen, and oxygen. . .
and i have to say i'm severely disappointed that i only recently found out about a little hidden gem called carbon. i say hidden because i check these forums regularly and never saw any mention of it until this past sunday. if you've never run it, you'll be pleased that you did.

CarbonCO2 = Oxygen 2.3.1 with ICS theme.
I use CarbonCO2 because I like the blue battery and status bar icons, and all the other theme-ing. You won't find a ROM more stable than Oxygen/Carbon and they have a great balance of performance, battery life and features. Your phone will not reboot or freeze.

I highly recommend MIUI (esp. Brainmaster's MOD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181050) with morfic's Trinity Kernel.
I've been on CM7, NSCollab, and a handful of other ROMs, and ended up with MIUI. Usually, I found MIUI to be a tad slower than other roms, but for some reason, Brainmaster's seems super snappy.
However, all of the above are super-duper well made roms. And it'd probably be best for you to try em all, just to see how amazing all of these devs are

Should I trust CM9 over all other rooms?

I was wondering this because I just installed the alpha 20 ics CM9 rom. I'm tired of flashing lol I want a nice stable no lag one.

YOU would know best whats stable enough and lag free enough for YOU. im just quite the opposite. 3 weeks or so ago, i flashed the stock/rooted version of 4.0.3 ics. it was stable, fast, everything worked. i thought i was happy with it and stopped my daily flashing. last night i went back to crackflashing, cm9 kangs. the stock rom was apparently too stable for me. and it wasnt just because of withdrawal from crackflashing. i went back to daily crackflashing because it has become a lifestyle

Lmfao hey like your reply I'd the story of my life. Btw how good is the kang one. I personally think that asop is the best but I need better

the kangs/cm9 are getting better and better every day, almost. i left cm9 because the launcher was starting to bug me, it reloaded way too often. cm9 might have had a memory issue then. but, 2 days and 2 kangs later, not a single issue here. everything works just as it should. and its extremely quick and responsive, even with the trinity teuv undervolted/underclocked(880mhz) kernel that im using(but its gpu is overclocked).

So you would say that the kangs is better? If so, I'm gonna keep this cm9 and then flash in maybe two days.

its not that they are better, its that they are compiled on a daily basis. so they are the latest, and include the latest fixes right away.

Well yeah that makes more sense. Looks like I'll be flashing a lot with this cm9. Thank God for titanium backup pro. Thanks for the responses .

I wouldn't say you should COMPLETELY trust the CM9 ROM over all. If I were you I'd run some more tests on which you like the most at the moment and stick to it, until CM9 is finally complete. I'm using an AOSP+ Neapolitan flavor build, it is incredibly smooth I recommend that. I know as soon as CM9 is finished I'm hopping onto that ROM in a heart beat though

Hey thanks. Do you have a link for that build you mentioned

I spent the enitre day today flashing and reflashing...
guess what i finally ended up going back to stock ICS and matrix kernel..

Try other ROMs out. See what fits you.

Aosp+ rom and matr1x v14.0 kernel is the perfect combination for me.
Fast, stable and cm9 style power menu and nstools is built in to the settings menu.

[Q] What ROMS are you using.

I just picked up the Skyrocket just wondering what ever one is using

Skyrocketeer w/faux123's Kernal + Launcher Pro Launcher. Works very well. Just waiting on ICS.

Sky Ice Cream Rom. Deeply themed Rom with most tweaks for our rocket with Faux123's kernel.

I use sky ICS with the faux kernel... excellent battery life, looks and runs good that would be my recommendation to you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

another vote for sky ICS. Nexus is nice as well, but less themed.

I have been using SkyStocketeer, but since it hasn't been updated in awhile I swapped over to Bouyancy.
Very very pleased with this one so far. Stable and quite speedy for me.

im using nexusmod 2.0 currently it works like a champ i have yet to have a FC on it. Very Stable Very Fast and my battery life has been good.

Nexusmod 2.0 as well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

currently using NexusM0D v2.0
waiting for NexusM0D v2.1 or buoyancy 1.3.1

I am currently using SkyICS RC7 with Faux123's kernel..
pretty good.. fast. i get some jitter when i scroll through some menus (i.e. my call log), battery life is pretty good as well..
I had NexusMOD2.0 with faux123 installed.. i liked this one too.. very stable, never one FC (in 2 weeks of using it) and battery life was AMAZING!!
the only reason i switched is cause i like trying new things, and GO Launcher EX didn't run as smooth on the nexusMod 2.0 ROM..

Im new to andriod and got a skyrocket a month ago, and now i love the ability to switch between roms. currently running SkyICS rc7 with Faux kernel. very fast and have little issues with it but im addicted to flashing and will probably change soon so many great roms to choose from thanks for everyones hard work

which 4.0.4 rom is the best?

tried nuhetri reloaded v2.0.0 rom - No stable bar, only live wall paper can be set. I can't accept that.
flashed IMM26 V1.1 this morning. Seems good. stable. very much like a stock rom.
Are there any other choices? prefer reasonable speed (faster than 4.0.3 stock) and stability.
enhanced features are less important to me.

Sorry, typo. I mean no status bar shown in the first rom.

I am using vhgomez36 4.0.4r3 rom and its working great. Lots of nice goodies without too much. Battery life has been good as well.
You did not specify carrier in your post and I am on sprint.

I've tried more than 7 ics roms but the best one I like is nexusbeam 4.2.3, its really stable and fast.

Stable and fast arc the must, to me. But I gradually want more features. So I go back to 4.0.3, using codename android. Stable, faster and with more features.

CM9 or AOKP?

what do u use and with what kernel? and what is the best set up?

You can't have other people choosing for you! lol everyone will have their opinions and liking towards different roms. I personally go for CM9 + InstigatorX's kernels. Some people go for AOKP or Chimaira other AOSP based and use Instigator's kernels. From there you have to choose which version or which governer is to your liking, if you prefer a certain setting like performance ones or power saving ones etc...
As for CM9 and AOKP I am an avid CM9 user but have used AOKP before. AOKP has a lot of customization right out of the box, CM9 is going from the ground up so they add features slowly and is constantly update almost once a day. AOKP they release one update every say 10-15 days~ and occasional milestone which will have more features than fixes. I like seeing updates gradually come and look forward to them on a daily bases thats why I stuck with CM9 and I like it for its stability. I've had a few FC's on the older AOKP but those are probably gone now with the latest milestone but features and readily available tweaks, the unicorn has them all (AOKP). I would personally make a nandroid back up and test them out yourself to see if its to your liking. My preference may not be the same as yours so its each to their own. :good:

Thanks for the reply bro, just wondering what the peeps on here were using, I think I'm going to stick with cm9, I really dig it, but I was wondering what kernel should I add, its a big mess with a bunch of releases on that forum lol

More 'features' in 4.0. But it may bootloop you. If you're ok with dealing with that then 4.0. I myself am trying to decide and I don't want to deal with bootloops so I just, right this second, decided to go with 2.2.1

I would go with 4.0. I was having trouble with my phone looping when I put on UCLF6 modem, I switched to the newest kernel and everythings been smoother. I would also say don't be afraid to try things out. Usually you will know what you like and don't like after you test a few configurations.

Just backup and keep multiple versions of the kernel in your SD so you can switch just in case it fails to boot. I'm currently using 4.0 badass underclocked to 1.1ghz when idling/light use and use smartassv2 when I play games.

I use Chimera RC2 and it is amazing with InstigatorX kernel. Had some trouble getting it to run at first but finally got it to run. As for setup, I prefer performance so I am working on getting it to stabilize with 1.7-1.8 OC. I am still testing governors and UV settings but SmartassV2 benchmarked pretty damn high compared to badass and ondemand.
RC3-(Official?) should correct issues and may be released today

For those having battery life issues here are some UV settings that I posted up in InstigatorX's thread. They have been stable for the past 36 hours.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28633559&postcount=594

In my humble opinion, CM9 tends to be a touch more stable than AOKP. But remember AOKP at its essence is CM9 with extra features thrown on, so it's bound to have the potential for a few more bugs. But both are very stable and won't give you any more issues than any other ROM really. Basically it's a question if AOKP's features are something you feel you want. I recommend spending about a week with both and then deciding.

Where can I get an stable official aokp download? I can't find it anywhere!!!! So annoying

No such thing as of yet. AOKP is based of cm, and that's not stable yet either.... that being said, this is pretty close:
