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.

+1 to what everyone else said.
I'm amazed that non of the usuals got on here to flame and say "read one of the other hundred threads like this" or "newb dont post questions in the general section" guess you guys are slipping.

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.

Which Rom is True ICS?

Hey guys just wondering what Rom is the best for the skyrocket that has the most ICS features and is the most stable. Ive seen a lot of roms have problems.

Try just about any rom that does not have gingerbread in the title. If you want something with an aosp feel, i suggest NexusMod or getting into cm9 but that's not a daily driver yet if your new.
Skyics is nice too. Its based off latest ics leak.
Just flash away.

i would say cm9 alpha 3 is pretty stable and ive been using it as a dd for like 2-3 weeks since alpha 2a and i havent had any problems pretty much all the issues were resolved in a3

CM9 or AOKP are the closest thing to true ICS. CM9 is easily accessible daily driver. I've been using it for awhile and have no problems. AOKP has a few more bugs. If you want true ICS, stay away from any Samsung roms since they pretty much ruin ICS with Touchwiz and all the visual changes they did. CM9 has more features than any Samsung rom.

I second the cm9 as a daily driver. Blown away by this ROM. It's like they read my mind about all the features I felt were lacking on my phone and ta-da!

I can see this turning into a Ford vs. Chevy debate. Just load up several and put them through your paces. Do Nandroids and you can easily switch back.
That said, add another vote for SkyICS 4.2E

Did you try the jelly bean rom. just released on the web just for the skyrocket. Google it youll like it

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.

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!

Let's see, how's that phrase go again... Oh yea...
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

Smoothest / Fastest ICS Rom

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.

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.
