Smoothest / Fastest ICS Rom - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I'm using linaro version of cm9, and its pretty smooth and quick. What do you guys think though? I also heard that provision is smooth, and someone told me to try gummy. Idk, just which one would u say is fastest? Nexus beam (galaxy s 4g beam now) is said to b fast but i find it slow.

Your asking a question that only you can answer. Each person will have different results.

Even though not everything works, "cm9 - aries" is pretty f'n smooth and fast...
Can't wait for that thing to finish cookin. :fingers-crossed:

They're all pretty much the same for me. I think that's because they all use the same kernel. Aries sounds great.

It does come down to personal preference. Mine happens to be AOKP

I'd love to see this bryan. Maybe we can get you a faster comp to help speed up the cook times. lol

Codename is noticeably faster on mine and my wife's phone than the other ICS ROM's......Linaro felt sluggish in comparison. Just my 2 cents.

The Liquid Dev I spoke to said the Liquid Team is working on the radio issues.
I'm a big fan of Liquid ROMs, so hopefully they overcome the issue quickly,
but good work takes time and Liquid Smooth 3.2 has been an awesome ROM
to run while I/We wait..

Ill take anything with data about now but Liquid and Twisted are my Rom's of choice when they come out.
twisted is my choice, he keeps it updated about everyday.
The good news is that it seems there is a rom with working data coming soon.
The 'bad' news is that it seems to be liquids rom.
Hopefully twisted can borrow it since his version works best for my phone.
if they sort the data out does that mean we hopefully will get ICS , miuiV4 and oakp(kang one protekk built) working possibly?
I hope twisted gdts it. I personally cant afford to buy(donate) just for the opprotunity to use a rom. With the wife out of work, supporting 2 kids, and the economy, every penny i already earn is accounted for. Things are very hard for us right now.

agreed. everybody has an opinion. If a dev cant take a shot, then they dont need to be deving. I personally have been back on the OG Rom rooted and deodexed for a few months now. I just got tired of ROMs with stuff not working.
Props to all the devs for what they do, but partially working ROMs just dont cut it for me. So I have been back on the OG rom for a few months now and very glad I did.

I used OMFGB for a long time. Recently though, I've changed to Thundershed and couldn't be happier. A lot of the same stuff, but with some newer enhancements and updates (OMFGB, for example, doesn't even have the locations fix built in as it hasn't been updated in...well, this year, maybe).

Repetitive Question but who has the best Gingerbread ROM?

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

I did not get a chance to flash a lot of different roms on GB mainly because I started late in the game on my skyrocket. But, I loved Mod's Stock MOD 2.

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.

ROM battle: AOKP vs BEAM ROM

Which is best and why? Enter your experience and reviews please.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2
We cannot justify that the Rom x is better than the Rom y, it depends on our own taste and way of using it.. sense our ICS base ROM's are under development as of this time,
and most of all we just need to provide them some log's in every issue we encounter so that they can work on it, in that way we can have a better ICS as ROM builds progress.. what we can do is to give thanks to our great dev's who work hard to give us the ICS,
but base on my experience i never encounter any issue in AOKP, specially on the latest build
Beam hands down. Smoother faster and better battery life. I think so anyways . But both are awesome!

It's all a matter of opinion, and my opinion is the only one that matters... to me...
Everyone has a favorite, for whatever reason, but their reasons may not be the next persons. Personally, haven't tried Beam, and no offense to whoever the dev is for it, but I don't plan to. I'm happy with AOKP, and I'll keep updating it (in fact I need to download the latest) but other than that, i'm done messing with this phone...

I was going to do something like this thread but for MIUI vs cMIUI. Then I thought that people would come telling that it's a personal thing, every ROM is great, they are all smooth and fast... and stuff like that. I think that the OP was asking for more than the general description. What really is it that made you choose that ROM over the other?
My choice here would be AOKP. I have used Team Acid's ROMs since forever, back in the Froyo days when ICBINB and Audiophiles were all over the place. I trust their work and it fits my personality. Constant support and never had an unsolved issue. My dad has been using Valhalla Black since it came out, I don't remember when. He thinks that it's the ultimate thing, still. So, that's enough proof that their work is awesome. Doesn't mean I don't like other development. I have used every ROM, mod and kernel here. Just my preference. Of course, AOKP is smooth, fast, stable, simple, no confusing apps (normal launcher), doesn't take much time to set up to my preferences and it has constant support and updates. But then again, every other ROM has it too. It's very hard to describe the choice, but I can't find other way to explain it.
No disrespect to other devs here. I know Erik, Thomas, Dao, Solrac, Anton and the others do an excellent job. In fact, I'm currently on cMIUI, not AOKP. But I have tried all other's and it's very hard to decided with which one to stay with.
Beam if you want speed and smoothness
aokp if you want customization

Do not mean to be disrespectful its a great rom and I have been using it for many months... I'm just asking if there are any stable roms like Valhalla final but ICS and not gingerbread.
if its not too hard please post ur recommendations and explain what's good about that rom.

I would recommend trying them out start with cm9 for a few days. I love aokp personally with hefe kernel, there are so many little options to make the phone feel like it's yours. They all have little twists to them and the older more updated ones are more stable. If you haven't felt ics yet your in for a treat.

I like barebones,its completely debloated and has the look and feel of stock gingerbread

Nothing ICS that is as bug free as Valhalla final or black edition. The ICS roms are definitely all good enough for daily drivers, but the battery life is inconsistent to say the least and your going to have issues with voodoo sound still being partiality busted if that matters to you. I flash the new CM9 builds and ROM's based off of them when they come out to look for bugs and generally see first hand how the development is progressing but still using Valhalla black as a daily driver for the reasons I mentioned previously
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Since you are in GB and Valhalla is a stock-ish ROM, then I suggest Barebone or if you want some more theme and custonization then go for Valhalla Black either Raver or FB with Anton's Basic with a Twist kernel.
My pick is FB's Valhalla Black, but Barebone is awesome too. I'm just not a fan of stock.
ICS ROMs are all good. I use CM9 and AOKP, they all have bugs and some issues. Development is still ongoing. Yet, once you try it, it would be hard going back to a GB ROM.
the best rom is the one you feel is the best.. Seriously. Its not a omg this is the best rom ever made we all do different things different flavors .

This is BEST Answer. I know BUT I want to know another PROFESSIONAL OPINION as a beginer.
Some of the people that have responded are the developers, and all of the people have tried many (if not all) of the ROMs. In my humble opinion, that is as "professional" as it gets. The best advice here is to try them out and see which, if any, you personally feel drawn towards. You can always go back to the one you like best. Being a beginner can be scary, but read, read, read before you do anything, make backups, and follow the directions. It is very easy once you get into it.
Good luck! Oh, I like the AOKP best, so far, but I haven't tried Raver's ICS ROM yet. That's next on my list.

basically, raver is saying that everyone has their own opinion on what is the best rom. each person wants different things. you can't just ask people which is better. you just have to try out each and decide for yourself. so in other words, don't be lazy by asking people, check em out yourself.

"No" was simply the answer to the ops question. Unless he enjoys random reboots, sub-par battery life and lack of functionality then he should wait for a "final" ICS rom. Last time I checked there wasn't one.
