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.

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.

+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.

After owning my Skyrocket for a couple months, I'm finally ready to take the plunge and install a new ROM. I saw the how-to guide, so I should be set there, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the number of ROM's available here for the Skyrocket. It seems like Cyanogen is a popular one, but there are so many options! Would you all mind pointing me to a couple of the better ones to research further or tryout?
I'm coming from the stock Skyrocket ROM with WidgetLocker for the ICS lockscreen and have no complaints with the GUI, but then again I'm open to change since I don't know what's out there. My primary concerns are speed and reliability, however if there are new features that people find particularly valuable, I would like to hear about them. It doesn't sound like the ICS mods are stable enough yet, but if there are any ROMs in the works I should keep an eye on, I would be glad to know know about them.
Thanks for the help!
x2 I would be interested in what people have to say.
I recommend Embryo rom for reliability. It is very stable, but there's not a lot of themeing so it looks stock.
If you are after a feature-rich rom, try Sky ICS. It even has stuff from the Galaxy S3. It looks good with all the themes and add-ons available.
Embryo is a good into to ICS roms. Sky ICS is feature rich but might be a little overwhelming at first. CM9 is really good if you want an AOSP experience.
Cool, thanks for the feedback. I'll look into those. Any idea how they are for stability?
I'm having a really good experience with NexusMod. Not ICS, though.

Things work right.

I'm running seanzscreams latest build SKYICS 4.2E-8 (ULCE2) rom. Very fast, solid, dependable (been running it for a week so far). Has lots of customizations available. I noted approx 15-20% increase of battery life since GB.
Any of the Alien Builds are great. Especially the one for GB. But as the posts above say, SKYICS for features. If you're going to an ICS ROM, I suggest you use the one click first.

Back on nexusmod anyway... ICS is starting to remind me of Windows ME or vista. Meh... it works ok, I guess, but the last version is so much better!
ICS feels so bloated compared to GB. Even AFTER I debloat it!

If you were smart and inquisitive, you'd try them all and figure it out first hand.

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

hi guys, I'm Italian, I bought a samsung captivate in USA, and I want to modify it .... the problem is that there are lots of rom here on the site (I am familiar, in fact I have changed other smartphone), and read them in English, for me, is a little bit difficult ... you could advise me the best rom page, please? thanks
See the Captivate Development Forum for all Roms.
And This Guide by TRusselo for installation help.
For starters Cyanogenmod is best suited since it's very well supported if you stuck somewhere there will be many people to help you out . So go with CM9 and have fun with it.
Try Slim ICS or CyanogenMod9 from Captivate Development Forum.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
There are ICS Roms for the Captivate. But flashing does come with some risk...see This Thread and This Thread also .
As far as what is best or...whatever, u will just have to do some reading on ur own in the Development Forum on the several available ICS Roms there and decide what best suits you and what u want on your phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Try aokp mod. That looks cool. I recommend a light weight rom because it has 1ghz processor.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
There are many rom for Captivate. However, I think Slim and AOKP is the best for our Cappy
slimroms.com/
aokp.co
Try MIUI: http://roms.miui.us/
It is based on CM9. Super stable, lots of eye candy.
Straight from the horse's mouth
Nostalgia ROM beats them all.

The best ROM is the one that works best for you. Try a few out and make your own decision.
Howdy XDA peoples, I'm not too handy with the search bar and I haven't come across a thread for this yet so...
>What is the fastest ROM for the Verizon Galaxy SIII? I'm going for minimal amounts of crap, as clean as they come, and as fast as they come.
>Also, Stock or AOSP, which is faster? I imagine AOSP.
>I'm not looking for kernel compatibility, which ROM is the fastest, just the ROM alone.
:good:THANKS IN ADVANCE!:good:
I personally find the fastest to be LiquidSmooth.
But no question you can narrow your search down to AOSP ROMs.

What about Pure AOSP? Would that be faster or does liquid smooth actually have performance modifications and tweaks?
It might not be minimal but beans 13 with tk kernel is the best set up I've used. In my opinion I prefer tw over aosp. No lag at all and great battery life

I'm an AOSP guy personally, but I do greatly appreciate your input!
theres an entire original development section here. do some research and find what works best for you and what you need out of a rom.
being fast isnt a valid criteria.
nobody can answer this question except for you. put in a little effort, do some learning/reading, itll serve you well.
Here you go. All your questions answered:

I'm really just looking to see what others experiences have been, I've had my fair share of ROMs on this thing. Not as many stock, as I always felt they were slower, but still, plenty.
I also have done PLENTY of reading, hence the reason why I have never had to make a post before, I find my questions answers in my reading.
So I take offense to your comment ddurand. I'd like personal preference and input, not criticism on my research techniques.
everyones phone works differently. you just need to try things and see what you like and what fits you best.
theres threads all over like this with comparisons. heres another good one besides the one posted above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030478)
asking for peoples personal opinion will net you 10+ different roms to try.
dont take it too seriously, im just trying to help.
its just how it works. you need to flash ROMs to see what works best on your phone.
I think nottas paranoid android is a great candidate. Other than the pie interface and hybrid ui stuff, it's basically AOSP. It's also compiled with linaro. I think the minimal features really help keep it smooth and fast.

Couldn't have put that any better, PA is def the fastest ROM I have ever had on my phone. Minimal AOSP compiled with linaro, plus hybrid UI and PIE controls. Can't beat that.
