Ask 100 people that question and you'll get 100 different answers as to why one or the other is better. Doesn't take too long to install a new ROM, and trying them both out is the only way to determine which is best for you.
Failing that, the search button will yield tons of answers, and you probably should have used it first in this case.

I've used earlier versions of CM (on the OG Droid) and I liked it quite a bit. The major difference is that SkyICS (which I am currently using as well) is built on the TouchWiz (Samsung) sources, while CMx is built on the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) sources. CM is more "pure" Android with some tweaks done by their very good team. Both have benefits.
I haven't personally tried CM9 (waiting on AOKP JB or CM10 semi-stable).
Really it's up to you. It won't take any more time to install CM9 than it took to install SkyICS, if that is a concern. I haven't read anything about echoing on CM9 stable, but read up either on the cyanogenmod forums or here in our dev section.

I do not allow "best" threads. Read and try them out yourself and make that decision yourself.

Which ROM ???

How do i choose a suited ROM for my desire S ?
There are so many.
It depends on the IMEI or something else ?
Also , whats a "prerooted" ROM ( different from "normal" ROM ? )
Grts
Answer to your last question: a pre-rooted ROM is a custom ROM which already provide root access. If you're unfamiliar to the term root, you should do a little more reading before flashing a custom rom to your device.
Just ensure that you've read through many of the threads available to anyone on this forum, and you'll have a smooth sailing through the seas of custom ROMs.
Your IMEI number doesn't matter.
Try Endymion, it's probably the best (personal opinion) Sense based ROM in the development section.

Flinnys CM 11 alpha 3. Very fast and stable after my opinion. There are just some bugs with the camera(video) and bluetooth but check it out anyways.
Hello guys i didnt want to create a new thread.
My mother has a Desire S and is absolutely casual user, the only thing that is important is long battery life and that all features work (No ROMs with Camera bugs and so on pls)
She does not need Tablet Features and whatsoever.
Currently her phone runs MIUI 2.### which is a battery eater and quiet strange.
Do you have any ROM to suggest? Just a very stable, reliable Android with much battery life?
Thx for your help !

Hey guys!
Just got a second-hand Desire S.
I am looking for am advice about a custom ROM with Sense.
What is the highest version of Android with the highest version of Sense available? The best would be: Sense 5.5 with Kit-kat I think.
Any suggestions? Would like a "stable" version if possible.

[Q][NOOB]Advice on Roms

Hi,
I'm not a noob in rooting and using customized ROMs on Android but I AM a noob with the TF101. I have tried to work through some of the information provided in the different topics and I am still trying to wrap my head around stuff like ICS, AOKP, cornerstone and whatnot.
What I am trying to find is a slim, stable and reasonable fast ROM that cleans out most of the Asus bloatware. WIFI connectivity is important to me, but 3G is not.
Can anybody (pretty please) recommend a reliable ROM that would be a good point to start with. It would just be a lot easier to work my way through the details if I had a ROM to start with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Revolver and ARHD are modified from stock ROM from ASUS. CM9 and AOKP are based on AOSP with modification to work on Transformer.
If you are migrating from stock ROM, ARHD or Revolver will give you a similar feel, they are both good ROM to start with. I am currently using ARHD.
Thank you for the help tingtan. (* searches forum for an explanation of "AOSP" *). I am assuming ARHD is short for Revolution HD?
A lot of the newbie guides point to "Prime" ROMs of various versions (like the "Asus Reference Thread" is pointing to Prime V1.4). Anything worth mentioning about those?
Also, there is a lot of talk if random reboots on ICS, so would it be more advisable to pick for example a non-ICS ARHD?

Yes, ARHD is Android Revolution HD. Prime has not been updated for a long time, last update was Nov 12, 2011, for custom ROM, it means the author is not maintaining it anymore.
ICS has some problems, app compatibility, battery drain, random reboots. I like to try new stuff (have several phones and tablets), so not a problem for me. Will get stable over time.
If you want a stable version, use Gingerbread (Android version 3.2), Prime, Revolver and ARHD are all stable and fast ROM. Another added bonus for Gingerbread is you can use OC/UV kernel.
You can monitor if a ROM is active and stable, read the forum in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1107
Again tingtan, thanks for your reply. I think I find my way from here
Im trying KRAKD now. So far it seems quite nice.
Also tingtan, 3.x is called Honeycomb , Gingerbread is 2.3

Oops! Thanks for clearing up my error. Guess I getting old
I tried Revolver, ARHD and KRAKD. Have been using KRAKD before upgrading to ICS, tried AOKP for couple of days before settle down on ARHD 3.1.0.
Yes, KRAKD has been a nice ROM, hangs several times a week recently (maybe not ROM related), that is why I have decided to upgrade to ICS.
I actually got spoiled with ICS after having it for one day (official OTA), so I just had to change to an ICS rom. I went with team EOS build 12 and so far its been quite good.

Jelly Bean released !!! Possible to port Nexus ROM ?

Hello respected Developers ,
Jelly Bean is released today with some new and important features. Nexus ROM is already available for download. Since Jelly Bean brings updated UI and few new features only it may be possible to port Nexus ROM.
Kindly consider its possibility and reply
Thank you all !
Here is direct download link

Hmm...so I was right. It can be ported.
Jelly Bean ported to HTC One X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737736
I hope so.
I'm not a Developer, but I hope so :good:
nothing will be done until the source code is released (google said mid july)
Guys, chill. It is best we wait until ics is fully developed with the kernel 3.x before we talk about this. I am sure that this needs ICS as base. I have been researching about this jellybean update the whole day. it is somewhat a small update to the ICS with automatic widget resizing, GoogleVoice (commandable just like siri) and also less lag... this is just like a froyo to gingerbread update as they said in vid reviews.
now our future is on the 3.X kernel:good:
Hi
Did anyone noticed that kernel for jelly bean port on HTC one x.
It is 2.6.xxx

i9003 will follow, once kernel 3.0 + ics is completely ported and good for day-to-day basis ^^
Everytime it happens that when we work on perticular version of cynogenmod then suddenly new version of galaxy device releases or new version of android releases then current development looks old to us. So we leave it in incomplete stage & we move forward to achieve new things of new cynogenmod but again everytime same story repeats & thats why we have so many incomplete cyanogenmod roms.
I want to suggest that if the developers are working on ICS cm9 then they must work on first to achieve kernel 3.0 & get stable cm9. People now should not rush to achieve JB leaving behing cm9 work incomplete. "One time one task"

Source code of jelly bean is of no use for us until we get kernel 3.0. Because building jelly bean rom or cm10 based on 2.x kernel is again a waste of time & again one more incomplete rom

You're right on that one bro.
Regarding porting Jelly Bean, it's another challenge for our great developers. And it is possible since it has already started coming on many devices. Another point is that JB does not introduce System level changes like ICS but a major update over it. So JB should easier than ICS.
Regarding Incomplete ROMs, each and every developer has his own set of skills and can't do what other can do and we must respect this. What dhiru can do is not necessarily doable by others too. But this should not come as deterrent for some quality work like MIUI and AOKP. If we would have kept waiting for 'Perfect and Complete' ICS then we would never have these great ROMs. These guys are working within known limitations and doing a great job. So i would always encourage new challenges, innovations, ideas, development and ROMs. We again might have many things not working on JB Ports but that's what fuel the developers to take up challenge and win it. Remember the first ICS and MIUI Ports ? And look today Thankfully Lolation, Frank, UT36104, Vurrut did not get discouraged by current limitations and went on to port these great ROMs and fix bugs. Thank You guys
Take every new thing as a challenge and give your best with whatever you have in hand instead of crying of what's not there or what will come someday
Good Day guys

I completely agree. People learn by doing hands on, and what I mean is building roms. Discouraging them just because you want them to complete a rom is very selfish, everybody has to start somewhere. Not everybody has sufficient knowledge in android programming to help with completing roms, i believe people feel a sense of accomplishment after building their first rom, only to be struck down by others that want a complete rom. I just want to say guys, don't discourage new roms please, think about other people's feelings. Thanks.

Its not about discouraging new rom development. Its about how well we concentrate on each thing to complete it. I am not saying that we should stuck to only one perticular rom development. But remember guys that google will not take a pause for us so that we can complete current cynogenmod rom. New versions of android will contineously come out by google but we must have to think whether we should run behind new roms or should we first build a base kernel 3.x without which every future development will remain incomplete...???

[Q] what is the best jb rom currently?

hello guys,
just want to ask which jellybean rom is currently more stable and fast enough?
im confused between flinny's andromadus cm10 and blindndumb's Android Open Kang Project - R5.0 and jelly time?
which one do you recommend and is more stable and faster (but stability is more important for me coz i dont want to change rom everyday)?
or do you recommend another jb rom?
another question!!
is it important to care about radio ver. on jb roms coz i heared that it can solve som sound issues in jb!!
my radio is 3831.19.00.10
sorry for noob questions and bad english!!
thanks.
I recommend Andromadus. Very stable.

There are no "best" roms, as each person's experience may differ.
That being said, the most stable JB rom is probably Andromadus CM10 which is what I'd advise.

This is a question we don't ask here, just to let you know that this thread will probably get locked. It will always come down to best rom for you. Only you can decide on that, try them, read the rom threads and make an informed decision for yourself

i use flinny cyanogen 10.1
JellyBean 4.2.2 the last one
blindndumb's AOKP with 4.2.2 is stable too as far as I can tell. It is best if you try them all out
I use Flinny AOSP 4.2 : stable, fast, no bug
Well I didn't want to make another useless thread.
It would be perfect if everybody posted his opinions on different jb ROMs that he tried and the pros and cons of that ROM.
Because its really not possible to read a thread with more than 100 pages to decide and trying all the ROMs is also hard.
BTW thanks guys. I went for andromadus and so far its good.

Best rom threads are not allowed on XDA. The reason behind this is each rom will work differently for each person. The best thing to do is to try them out for yourself and see which one you like! Happy flashing

[Q] Best daily ROM?

Hi, Had a HTC One X for a while now but recently got stolen so now i am back on my Desire S. I haven't been modding or flashing this phone in ages and haven't really followed all the threads.
Is there any one that can tell me what ROM works best for daily use at the moment. It is currently running on Fallout but i saw that hasn't been updated in a long time soo i think it is time to upgrade?
Any suggestions?
And yes i am a lazy person sorry
When will people learn?!
We don't do "best rom" threads on xda.
you must try SVHD 2.1.0 rom its stable and smooth , or ICS DS v8.0 final
The best ROM is the one you like the most.
I've gone from GB to HTC ICS to cm10. I've tried some custom ICS Roms but like the look, feel and functionality of Jellybean.
Some great work is being done on cm10.2 right now and hopefully soon cm11 KitKat. Fingers crossed.
The one I keep going back to is blindndumbs cm10.1 but development may have stopped.
Do a nandroid and flash away. See what works best for you. You won't know unless you try.
I'm sorry for my bad english, I'm italian.
