There is no right answer. Our Devs all do amazing work. Just use the one that works best for your wishes.

For a noob(i mean this is the best way) cm9 may be a bit much, I'd say either embryo or nexus mod. Or, if you feeling crazy, sky.

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.

I agree with you. Ive been using sky ics with the new leak and i think it is quite a stable rom in terms of smoothness and speed. Cant wait for the official one to come out!

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.

AOKP, the best of the best.

+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.

I think the early work some of the developers have done here has given us an early preview of what we are in for. It looks great so far, best and smoothest my nexus has been.
I think you'll get a better idea though if you read the threads found in the developers section. When reading a thread titled "jelly bean" I get all excited expecting to find OTA is here and ready to flash. Instead I'm leaving my opinion on an SDK based version of 4.1 I feel like a child who just found out Santa has still not been.

Honestly, I'm not noticing a drastic difference but I've only tried the port so I'll reserve my judgement until a full asop or OTA arrives.

im still on Gnex port with sevice pack4.
what i can say is, that for now im in love with JB...
Those animations, smoothness, speed, new notification[ although i would prefer i u could take a peak with one finger, instead of two, cuz u cant do it with one hand}.
MULTITASKING- first time since ive started using android, i can finally say; ITS WORKING- fast and smooth..
not sold for now on GOOGLE NOW, ive found it not useful for me at all, i would like it much more interacting with other apps.
BTW jelly bean will shine on new phones, our is bit outdated ...

Can we keep all JB releated posts into the one JB related thread here --> Jellybean Countdown to OTA Thread: Nexus S Edition
Thanks.
Thread Closed.

The official Orthus Rom Discussion thread.

OK this thread is for the discussion of orthus ROMs. So no matter what version of orthus you may be running all discussions go here. I start this thread with mindmajics approval so that we may clear the ROM thread of discussions and questions. Majic will of course use the ROM thread to announce updates and such but all other comments or questions go in this ROM thread. Now let me say that the same rules apply to this thread as did the ROM thread and they are as follows.
1. Be nice and considerate to others.
2. No flaming unless majic sees fit after all it his rom.
3. Never under any circumstances disrespect the dev which is majic. Our devs work hard for us to enjoy custom ROMs with no pay. They take their time to do this so at the very least we could be kind and considerate.
4. With that said if you have a problem with the ROM post your problem without placing blame and either majic or some of us who have run this ROM since day one will do our best to help you in anyway we can.
5. If you have solved a problem you found please post your solution. It just might help someone else having the same issue.
Majic has worked hard to make this a great ROM so let's do all we can to help him make it even greater. I really hope we can all work together and solve any issues anyone is having with this ROM.
Before you post anything about having a problem please make sure you have followed the exact directions majic gave for installing the ROM. Also make sure to be as detailed as possible about your problem. The more info you give the more likely you are to get a solution to your problem. Also make sure you have read the whole ROM thread because chances are there may already be a solution to whatever problem you are having.
Well I think I covered everything. Majic if I've left anything out please let me know. I decided to put this in the general section due to it being a discussion thread even though we will be answering questions when we can. So let's make orthrus even better. Also feel free to post battery times but please include the screen time on pic with battery time pic and also which launcher you are using whether its touchwiz, xperia, or one from the play store.
Alright let the discussion begin....
All further ROM updates can be found over at rootzwiki... here is the link
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35685-rom-orthus-six-102612/
This discussion thread will remain open but the ROM thread here on XDA will be locked. Any questions, comments, or discussion will answered here. Also any problems may be discussed here or over at rootzwiki.... Hope you all continue to use this ROM and not let the change of venue effect that. I will continue to help majic answer any questions or solve any problem my limited knowledge allows lol....

Yes the ROM thread was getting crowded and beginning to be very hard for majic to keep up with so we talked and this is the solution lol...
I can't wait for the next version either. With each version this ROM gets better and better. Majic has became one helluva dev...

Orthos 4 has been a little bit of a downgrade from 3 for me. I've already had two lockups using Chrome (which may be the problem instead of the ROM) when I had 0 lockups on 3. Battery life has been just as good and everything is running smoothly minus the 2 hiccups. This is the 1st Orthos update I've done a full wipe for if that matters.
I also have some battery screens to post when I get home of my cycle running the xperia launcher. It seemed to perform close to Apex but since I was on data for longer than normal it's hard to tell.

Hi guys so based on Mind wanting to change the default launchers, I've bumped into the following:
Lightning Launcher
Trebuchet Launcher (CM9)
Holo Launcher
Nemus Launcher
Smart Launcher
Apex Launcher
Now please keep in mind these are just options that looked good to me, but I have yet to use any of them. Just wondering if anyone else might know of some great launchers out there either available from the market or even from other phones for example the xperia launcher or even the sense launcher from HTC phones.
Some Launchers that I have used previously
SIII TW Launcher (Used it with Embryo)
Go Launcher (Used to swear by this group of devs then they started to produce ****. Go SMS was great as well until they decided to only be able to do SMS+MMS backups to their cloud)
Launcher Pro (Was great up to a little before the paid version of the app was released. Then it got way too bloated and bogged down performance of my phone.)
~PsyCl0ne

Myself I either use touchwiz launcher or apex. I have used go until they screwed it up with the updates. I've used adw but really didn't like it either.

I do have a suggestion you can think on as well. How about adding the gallery from the xperia to go with the launcher? Just a thought

You know what I do kind of agree here but I like Orthrus. Might give Xperiance a go later but I thought that this is what Mind was trying to do here. To create a impressively customizable rom that had a ton of kick and stability with the battery life being icing on the cake. Correct me if I am wrong but that's just the vibe I got...

Yup
Orthus is meant to be more of a pure AOKP with battery tweaks, alternative launchers, and additional customization options. Lean and mean. I love the Sony album though

Haha! I thought I was the only one this anal about grammar and spelling!
I liked ADW Launcher until ics came out, then I went to the paid version of apex because it just worked better. Haven't looked back and I own the pro version of adw too. I'm now using Nova because it was 25 cents on the play store for a while and, I must say, the paid version is awesome as it does backups of your homescreens which include widgets. This is something Apex has yet to incorporate. I realize that Majick could not include the paid version of any launcher due to the pirating issue, but I highly recommend buying nova if you flash a lot of ROMs like myself. Makes setup across ROMs much less time consuming.
Launcher Pro was really good for a while, but I believe the development hasn't released an update for a really long time and people were saying that it wasn't compatible with ics so I doubt it would play well with the almighty Orthus.
Holo launcher is nice. It was bundled in with one of the ROMs I flashed. It's pretty snappy but, since I have the paid version of apex and nova, I left it for them.
Just my two cents.

I'm so used to people spelling my name "John" when it's really "Jon" that any misspelling or grammatical errors as totally lost on me.
Even my username is a deliberate misspelling of the word "magic". Alexander Crowley deliberately misspelled the original word to "magick" so he could differentiate his meaning from the original meaning. And of course my version is deliberately misspelled because I mean something different too lol

Aokp popular?

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but it doesn't appear that aokp is very popular amongst galaxy s3 users.
I see a lot of Roms, carbon, bonestock, hyper drive, MIUI, cm, etc. Aosp and touch wiz.
However, I don't see many people talking about and using aokp.
Am I missing something, or is aokp not that good on the galaxy s3, not as supported, etc?
Thanks!

I definitely like it better than cm. Not a huge fan of cm, too few customization options IMO, same with PA. Although, I do like pacman ROM.

Cool. I will check out pacman.
On rootzwiki, is there a specific thread for the Verizon aokp ROM? I can't seem to find it.
I am definitely intrigued about pacman. I guess you prefer aosp to touchwiz? I can't stand the look of touchwiz, but my bonestock ROM was working pretty great with good battery life. I don't know if with so many features with the pacman ROM, performance or battery will suffer. I will read up on it.
I am on an unofficial miui for now.

Not sure if the features would hinder performance or not to be honest lol. If you go on RootzWiki, forums, team forums, AOKP, you'll see d2vzw and that's us. I'm on the latest nightly I think but I'm about to check out pacman, but I'm kinda waiting for some more of the 4.3 issues to get worked out.
And yes, I very much prefer it to touchwiz. I kinda decided on the phone by AOKP's presence actually, and then Andy got it and made bonestock and I was sold lol.
