I'm currently using Milestone 6 AOKP on my Skyrocket and it's pretty great. The only thing is, CM9 released a stable RC for the Skyrocket and i'm wondering if it would be better to switch to CM9 than AOKP? Although I know they have their differences, i'm wondering the Pro's and Con's of each ROM if anyone can think of any.
Thanks!
I'm in the same boat

Both are very stable, go with the features you like best.

Aokp is build from cm9. So any feature that cm9 has is pretty much a given in aokp. Aokp has more features added onto it. Personally I prefer aokp. But cm9 is always smooth, fast and simple. The beauty of this is it your choice run em both and decide which you like better:thumbup:

Well the thing is, about AOKP M6, is that it doesn't come with a Music Player, I have to install an app to wake the phone screen for every text. My Messaging always freezes up, randomly shuts off, a whole load of things and I just think i'm going to swap over to CM9 right now to check it out and see how it is.
Oh and also, some of the features on AOKP such as the "Task manager style changing feature" doesn't seem to be anywhere on Milestone 6. Can't find where to actually change the style of it.
Sounds like cm9 is the way to go

I'm highly interested in some opinions also.I'm running sky ics and wanted to try something different
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
I've settled on CM9 mostly because AOKP has a lot of minor bugs that irritate me, i've reported them but have been ignored. One thing is whenever I lock my screen after texting someone, once I receive a text and unlock the screen, the predictions for the keyboard would not pop up. I'd have to close out of the Messaging app and open it back up which is an annoyance if you text a lot.
Plus, AOKP only releases an update/build every....month. Not willing to wait a month just to fix some minor annoyances when I can switch ROMs and fix it in a day. AOKP is still a great ROM, just not for me.

How do you change your Task Manager Style?
And also, i'm on the Release Candidate for the Skyrocket, CM9, and i've encountered no issues thus far. Of course, the screen doesn't light up when a text is received, so it must be ICS related. Other than that, so far so good.

At this point I find both of them to be almost equally stable with CM10 narrowly out performing AOKP. I use AOKP because I like it more, but like everyone else I think you should just try both.

Can only speak for CM10, but it's been a great experience over the last week I've been using it. Camera (stills, video, and panorama) works very, very reliably.
Only one thing to worry about - the 8/19 build and the 8/21 build are almost identical, but the 8/19 build has quieter speaker phone output while the 8/21 build makes the caller's voice quiet on the other end. Personally I went back to the 8/19 build for that reason.
I did enjoy AOKP 6.3/6.4 while I was on it, but I've found CM10 to be a more reliable and polished experience so far. Can't speak for AOKP JB.
I use AOKP,but the best thing to do is to try out both, you can't go wrong with either. To make things better both Devs help each other out which makes it a win for our community. To top things off I believe Rohan is still in high school which shows off his talent and potential.

I have no major issues on the 8/19 build of CM10. Builds after that have some minor issues now that the nightlies have started; they primarily seem to be coming from upstream. I imagine in the next week or so it'll all be cleared up.
I use CM10 as my daily driver now, and I have found it to be a polished Jellybean experience. I flashed AOKP for a few days but found the layout of CM10 to be laid out in a more sensible way. Both have problems but CM10 has a larger community on our XDA forum as of now. The devs of both mods are cooperating to produce two ROMs that allow for the best user experience possible.
The only problem I have found with CM10 is that, when streaming audio, there will be crashes sometimes. It happens once or twice daily. Everything else works smoothly and will only get better as h8 (the CM10 dev) begins to fully incorporate project butter.

No its not, never has been
AOKP is built by using device, vendor and kernel trees used by CM. The framework, applications, etc are based off of AOSP. CM also based on those same things from AOSP.
CM and AOKP are closer to siblings, rather than parent/child.

You will never know unless you try. The deal breaker I grabbed AOKP bec it was running full audio and music in my car bluetooth - for me thats kind of a big deal. CM10 is having issues, vincom posted fix for the audio music but not when talking calls in your car. Oh and... I used that fix for the AOKP rom to play my music.

There are tons of features in MIUI besides the launcher, I'd suggest you take a look at http://en.miui.com/
Just off the top of my head, things MIUI has that no other rom can match - theming, backup/restore, contacts/sms/dialer, speed, the music player, toggles etc.
I used to swear by MIUI when I had my Evo 4G, by far the most unique and best rom on Android, it replaces so many apps you need to install. I just hope it becomes stable for ICS/JB soon.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you said it yourself "possible issues" it doesn't mean that everyone will have issues. We all know that ROMs behave differently on different phones.

I may be lucky but I haven't experienced much of the problems people claim in CM10.1. I doubt I'll ever look back at TouchWiz-based roms.
Personally, I've never used CM on any of my devices, I've always used others. For instance, I ran stock unrooted Touchwiz on my S3 for a couple months, then I switched to Liquidsmooth, I had that as my daily driver for at least 6 weeks, but the FC's and data dropouts were too much to bear so I went looking for another ROM, I installed Mean Lean Jellybean Machine Build 4 and loved it, so once Build 5 came out I switched to that, and have been on it ever since! I think I'll be staying on this ROM for awhile.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S III using xda-premium
TouchWiz is actually an awesome oem skin for Android. It gets unfairly attacked because people think AOSP/CM must be better.
My personal experience: after rooting never used cm10.1 went straight to finding a good rom. Used executioner 2.5 liked the feel, speed, and battery life. Felt very stable. Tried cleanrom but started experiencing some bugs, switched quickly. Currently im running superchargedwiz rom kyjelly and it seems very stable i closely compare it to executioner 2.5 although im not getting the same battery life as i was getting on executioner but supercharged is very smooth. If i can figure out ktweakers kernal that came with supercharged, i know its possible to tweak it just right to get the right battery settings. My suggestion if your looking for a good rom to play with try one of these 2.

I want to use CM10.1 as a daily driver, but all of the bugs and small nicks make me go back to more developed and stable TW roms. Anyone using 10.1 as a daily? Can you give me your opinions on it? Which rom are you using? What bugs do you notice?
Thank you

The in call volume has been fixed for me so I'm going to run it as a daily driver from now on.
Bluetooth audio is still completely broken I hear but it's not something I depend on or use without going out of my way.
Unless some other huge bug manifests, all is going pretty well.
So far there are two main issues that make me consider going back to TW:
1. Sometimes when I interrupt a game from loading, the entire system is laggy as hell until I reboot
2. There is a small delay when answering the phone. I don't know who can hear who during that delay, but its annoying nonetheless.
I'm waiting for the stretched image bug to be fixed on multi-window ROMs before I go back to TW though. It's definitely daily driver worthy.

Been daily on mine since the unofficial cm10 back in August, fine here but maybe I just can't stand TW.

if you are going to "wait for all the nicks and bugs get sifted out", you might always have a wait. Custom ROMs are just that, custom, and sometimes, what works for one phone won't work for another.
Just pick one that you like the features, and learn work arounds or ignore the "nicks and bugs"
Thanks to all the DEVs! I love waving my modded S3 under everyone running stock and asking why their phones can't do what mine does!

I've been AOSP since week one of owning my SGS3, however weak data signal / drops and spotty gps has me trying out TW.
Synergy is pretty awesome. It's not a huge adjustment once you get it configured with your custom launcher. Plus, MultiView is amazing!

Hold the back button and it'll pop up on the left side then just drag an app from there to the screen

Mastamoon in the official 10.1 thread has been putting out some rocking unofficial builds that contain cherry picks for most of the issues that have annoyed me. I really suggest checking out his 1/4 build (I'm on this) or his latest. He seems to have Bluetooth and call volume issues pretty close to being wrapped up.

I ran liquid's for two weeks or so, but my flashing addiction made me try something else. Went back to AOKP 4.1 but now I'm back on stock TW that I made a few modifications to. I replaced the MMS app and keyboard with AOSP as well as the UI sounds, and I'm fairly content for now. Usually any kind of lags annoys me, but I've found JB Touchwiz to be alright ( I was an avid HTC user prior. Touchwiz is way smoother than Sense.)

I want to use CM10.1 as a daily driver, but all of the bugs and small nicks make me go back to more developed and stable TW roms. Anyone using 10.1 as a daily? Can you give me your opinions on it? Which rom are you using? What bugs do you notice?
Thank you

I am running the CM 10.1 Official NIGHTLIES. They have been my daily driver since almost beginning of the month. My custom ringtone only rings once when someone calls, answering calls ends up with a weird delay before anyone can hear you. A couple of other small bugs, but no deal-breakers that I really see.

I like slim bean 4.2 but I am not able to find a working wifi tether for it. Most 4.2 roms I cannot get wireless tether working
Update. Running 10.1. I dirty flashed from 10 and all my problems were solved. Pretty awesome having the latest version of android. Love it. Battery life can be better though haha

I love CM, but lately it seems they have too much going on. The barely got 4.1 working, and came out with the M2 release, and then moved on to 4.2, which is CM 10.1. I prefer to stay with a dev that will tweak their ROM and stick with it until they get it right. That's why I will not use CM anymore. Unless they have hundreds of devs working constantly to keep up with the number of devices they support, they're eventually going to become a ROM that's unreliable. I hope I wrong, but with the S3 they're clearly not completing one OS before moving to another, which makes them a no go IMO.
Battery life has been absolutely incredible for me on 10.1. 9 hours on battery all on 4G with 20 min screen on at 80%

Just flashed the DarthStalker ROM onto my S3 I've had for about 2 weeks now, it works beautifully, I've gotta say. Super fast, native WiFi hotspot/USB tethering, I would highly recommend at least checking it out.
I am currently on Cyanogenmod 9, and I am hearing great progress in Cyanogenmod 10 and 10.1 and also the SlimBean 4.2.2. Should I update to these or wait? What is the difference between slimbean and cm? Cm10 or Cm10.1?
4.1 is has pretty much the same stability as ICS. GPS doesn't work though (the GPS on his device is crap so it doesn't really make a difference). WiFi doesn't work on 4.2, so if you're itching the flash a new ROM id go with the pacman ROM which is 4.1.
Slimbean has more customization options than cm.There really isn't even much of a difference between 4.1 and 4.2, I think there's only lock screen widgets, different notification toggles and offline Google now so you're not really missing out
I'd probably wait as those are all Jellybean based but most still have issues whereas CM9 is pretty stable.
CM10 is Jellybean 4.1.2, most things works but still a bit buggy. Probably not a lot more DEV on this as 10.1 should be the new goal.
CM10.1 is Jellybean 4.2.2, a lot less stuff works but getting there.
Slimbean are just a variation of the above, just slimmed down. They take out all the garbage they can to make it run the best and give us the most space. There is a slimbean 4.1.2 and 4.2.2, both have roughly the same problems as the above ones do.
They're getting closer to getting them working though.

I don't care much for the GPS, it's just that they say that 4G reboots so you have to be on 2G speeds, and 2G is very slow. WiFi doesn't work either. So this makes the phone very internet-less.

The 4G thing was like 10 versions ago of JB. Works fine now in the latest. Wifi works in CM10/Slimbean 4.1.2, just not the latest but hopefully soon. I've been running the Xperia Slimbean 4.1.2 for the past 3-4 days as my daily usage with no issues.

So there is SlimBean that's like CM but a little more, then there are more SlimBeans that are based off the original SlimBean?!

Slim is based off CM. All custom ROMs are based off CM. Unless there just modified stock.

Oh makes sense.
I think I'm going to update to SlimBean 4.1.2.
Try out ultragen 1.0.1 it is just so fast
I have flashed every ROM and i keep going back to ultragen. It's super snappy and everything works. Just my two cents

I don't want an GS3 themed phone with all those features it comes with.
Installing themes is insanely easy. It is by far the fastest ROM if you want a ROM pre installed with a theme you like you won't have a good time

Seems like you do care but whatever ultragen is still the fastest out atm and for all those features your talking about i have no clue because ultragen is pretty basic when you compare it to other roms. It only takes moments to make any rom look how you want. It's all about feel and ultragen feels the best imo

Took only 5 mins to make ultragen look completely different. While still being the fastest

I just said I don't care for theme, and how do you know this ROM is the "fastest"?
Easily is the fastest and i know this from personal experience flashing every ROM xda has for this phone. Everyone cares about themes unless you like stock cm9 which is still a theme that can be applied to ultragen so it looking like sg 3 means nothing. Ultragen also can have one of the best battery lifes if you prefer that over performance.

The settings window looks like CM if that's what you mean. Themes only change the look, not the actual functionality.
