Im taking the dive and I am going to flash a ROM tonight or tomorrow. Are there any ROMS for the Tmobile SGSII that are better than the Skyrocket ROM's or are the SR Rom's better? BAsically what i want is lag free performance and something that resembles as close so SGSIII as possible. I realize that those are in the works, but some of the SGSIII software is already in use in our Rom's. I await your advice! Some benchmark screenshots would be helpful as well. Thanks!

Embryo 3.2 has a lot of SGSIII items included, including the launcher and S-Voice. I'm happy with it.
Smooth Ice has a GS3 variant as well. Haven't tried this one, but I did run Smooth Ice v3 for a bit and liked it a lot.
which one of those 3 has the most GSIII in it?
Actually its 2 roms I'm receding to smooth ics as well

SkyICS is a solid choice. I also had lots of luck with Embryo.
I personally am looking at team PTSD's latest build of AOKP. It's quite good, but updates very frequently. Probably not a good starter rom.
Nexusmod gb 4.3
Stable. Fast. Great battery life.
Been my fallback rom for a long time.
I know it doesn't have the sgs3 bits, but I personally have no use for them.

Nexusmod is by far the best!! I've tried about 5 different roms and I will and always come back to this one. If you try this, you will not want to try anything else. Matter of fact, maybe you should try others first, just so you can find out for yourself that it's the best.

So my friend has a captivate, and he has a Stock ICS rom. I was just wondering the possibility of a Stock ICS rom for the infuse. I know there are Roms that are suppose to look like ICS, but they aren't even based off of ICS. My question is, is there a STOCK ICS rom based on android 4.0, and if not what is the likelihood of there being one?
I don't know why don't you use the search button and find out for us

You mean the HellRaiser? How would this solve my problems exactly, I can't find any ICS roms for galaxy devices except the one for captivate, but it says in order to do the captivate roms, the rom needs to be based off samsung gingerbread. A true ICS Rom would be based off of Ice Cream Sandwich.
No. The one that has the title is anyone planning a custom ics rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Oh, sorry. thanks. That does suck though. I think it would be a great idea. All these developers just don't want to do it I guess. I probably would have donated to someone who would do it. Ahh well. I guess the infuse gets no love.

GuidoZebra,
Read thru the general section and the Q/A section.
There are multiple posts on this topic. TONS.
Then you will understand why there won't be any ICS on the Infuse, short of a miracle.
Go back a few months.
Zeus 5.2 ICS is as close as you'll get.
You don't want ICS on this phone. Even if someone does manage it, it won't be the experience you're hoping for. It will be choppy, buggy and alot of functions won't work. Maybe some super-dev will have a breakthrough this year, but it will be a long time before anything usable, much less fully working is available. So don't hold your breath. Move on. Spend time with the wife and kids. Take the dog to the park. Try to enjoy life.

Wooooo! Good stuff. Now let's hope everybody can keep the majority of discussion contained in this one thread...
I only ask this because I do not have a Skyrocket. My friend does, I rooted it a while back and now he said his ROM is giving him problems. I would normally flash and mess around with the ROM to see how it responds, but like I said I dont have one. I know ICS is fairly new so I dont want that. I need a stable, fast, good battery Gingerbread ROM. I will look in the dev section and do what i normally do, check options, and the last few pages of the thread, but any referrals are greatly appreciated without the normal hate. I will be going to his house prob thursday to hook him up, esp with the throttle trick as well
Quickwiz is probably one of the quickest roms IMO

RE: Best ROM
True enough, they are all great! but for a noob who flashed all the roms the least buggiest so far is SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10 for me anyways.
Again there are different flavors to choose from and it also depends on what you use on your phone. Some bugs may show up days later.

All these guys are right cause there really is no right or wrong answer to your question. When it comes to custom roms its all about personal preference. What someone else really loves you may find out you don't like. So my advice is become a flashaholic like most of us here are and start flashing until you find that perfect custom rom that fits your needs and wants. Just remember to make a backup of your current rom before you start flashing anything that way you can always go back to what you have now. Oh and just so you will know design gears is about to release a new ics leak for the skyrocket soon according to his twitter account so you may want to wait and see what that is all about and the I'm sure plenty of custom roms will be based off of it soon as well... happy flashing...

It would probably be better to be more specific. A better question would be "which are roms are the most stable" or "which roms are the fastest" or maybe "Which rom has the most features?"
I personally am also trying to decide which rom to go with. I have a friend who owns a Skyrocket and he wants me to root the phone then flash a custom rom, so I'm looking into this. I think I'll probably flash Nexus Mod just because it looks like AOSP. Like many others, it has carrier IQ disabled and has been debloated.

+1 to sky ics for stability (iv flashed the aosp apps patch) it was giving me fc's on other roms but none on this one
nexusmod ics was good but the rom seems to start facing issues after a week of use (might be user error but others were also experiencing this) and also the rom has no further development as MOD has been bricked and has also moved to cm9.
AOKP - great rom that has just surfaced with some solid devs at work still has a few minor issues but this one will become a gem
cm9 - same as above, great dev support but it still has a few minor kinks to be worked out
The above post is right especially about cm and aokp
CM9 Skyrocket
The newish Slim ICS ROM is pretty good too. Gives you some AOSP apps and seems pretty stable and super snappy for me so far. But as others have said, just look at some of the ones with higher traffic and more recent posts and see what you like. Embryo is a nice one i you want a more stock exoerience. Dev is super responsive too. With the new leak and impending (hopefully) official release, they'll all be rebased anyway. TiBu Pro and nandroid are your friends.

The Dragon one does not overclock. It's just insanely fast because Seanz ripped out everything that was not completely necessary. And I mean EVERYTHING. (i.e. some people miss the stock calendar and calculator apps that he ripped out )
