So I have been on cleanrom and cleankernel for a few weeks now and I am extremely happy.
Some of you would say why change then? Well since the very beginning I've been curious about synergy.
For you guys that have been on both, how do they compare? In stability, fc, battery life, etc?
Thanks for you feedback.

Haven't tried cleanrom but Synergy has been good to me for the past few weeks. I am using R73 with lean kernel .9 and battery has been as good as stock. I also like having Google Now on ICS. Not sure if Cleanrom has that cooked in?

No it doesn't, that's one of the reasons I want to try synergy.

I was on CleanRom with it's kernel for a while, never tried synergy.
I highly recommend cleanrom though. Very stable, very slick. Battery life was good (though I have an extended battery, so that might skew my interpretations).
In my opinion, flip a coin and try one. Use it for a few days, then use titanium backup or do a nandroid then try the other for a few days. simple enough to revert if you've got both TB and nandroid backups.
Sorry that probably isn't the perfect answer for you, but it is *really* easy to revert back to a nandroid backup if you don't mind going through the setup process on the new ROM.

Oh yeah, I have the nanodroid/TB process down to a T, I came from a samsung fascinate phone and I flashed on it every rom there ever was, froyo, gingerbread, ics, asop, apko, miui, cm, you name it.
I just didnt want to waste time on synergy if the rom is clearly inferior to cleanrom. I might just have to give it a try.
Thanks.
Personally I prefer Synergy. Besides including Google Now it seems smoother for me. Battery life is comparable or possibly slightly better. Just backup your ROM and give it a try, I think you'll like it.
I have been on synergy since the beginning. It's awesome and I'm at 1.99 using clean kernel.
I haven't used clean rom only his kernel but have heard great things about the rom too.
synergized and Ikilling
I have used both roms and Synergy seems a little more stable, slightly better battery life, better GPS lock, and Google now. I am on R73.
I have since quit flashing other roms and I have been using Synergy for several weeks now.
I have used both myself & definitely think that CleanROM/kernel is the smoother more stable of the two.
Synergy R73 with trinity 7 kernel, dark horse rises theme - a match made in the heavens. If you want a smoother than stock, stock feel, use cleanrom. If you want the ultimate modified stock ics (touchwiz) use synergy. Personally I think the stable synergy 4.0 rom is far superior to any jb that's available to us currently. And besides, half the fun of rooting is to get rid of "stock".

Synergy was the first rom i did. only had it for maybe a day or so, than went with cleanrom. I like the install options that cleanrom gives you. I also installed google now so its no big deal if the rom doesn't have it.

I'm on Synergy 73, having went through through the releases then select nightlies but am going to try Cleanrom next. Synergy is stable, and everything just plain works.
cleanrom for me
Synergy offers more features, CleanRom is more stable. To me it's that simple. I like both. A good installation of CleanRom will give you the best benchmarking scores of any setup on the S3. A good version of Synergy has nearly stock levels of stability with tons of added functionality.

These threads are really pointless. When it comes to roms you have to try them out for yourself. Each rom runs on each phone different. Each person's preferences is different also.
Install each and see what you like best and what works best for you and your phone. Both are great and I've ran both.
synergized and Ikilling
Well I respectfully disagree. Knowing a lot about a product before trying it out is not a waste of time. Maybe one of them has a specific feature that is a "must have" for someone - knowing this in advance eliminates having to flash it to try.
I personally was deciding between the two (and I'm sure I'll try both), but this thread has helped me choose which I will start with. I love comparison threads. It's a forum - why not discuss ROMs?

You should read each rom thread and look at the features to decide which to try first. Reading what people here tell you doesn't mean you'll share that same experience. This why you should just experiment yourself make a backup and try both and stick with what performs to your standards better.

I would like some feedback as to what rom you have flashed.
This will help anyone new to the thunderbolt party as well as myself.
I have yet to make a decision on rooting or waiting.
Your feedback below please.
Thank you all in advance
And as ALWAYS,
Thank you to all the developers who are working there butts off !
I tried out team bamf first, but then they jumped ship to their own forum. So then droidtheory started releasing roms and jumped to him and haven't looked back.
He has a sense and aosp (cm7) version and also dhacker and xpack have released their own versions based off of droidtheory's work.
xpack's senseless rom is very nice. Has the sense base so gps and nfl network work right out of the gate, but no sense (adw launcher instead) so its fast and smooth.

You can't go wrong with DroidTh3orys ROMS.
Root. Now. That way you can make your choice when/if GB actually comes. You can always go back to stock unrooted. You may not be able to root with the new OTA.
Roms? Like many things they are a personal choice that no one can make for you. Having flashed them all, I can tell you they have improved dramatically since I got my bolt in May. If you choose to root, do yourself a favor and try several. You will find the Rom that suits your taste and needs.

100% agree with this guy.
Us leaving XDA doesn't change anything about the quality of our roms. Fact is, many of our innovations end up in other roms anyway (ask ihtfp69 and erishasnobattery).
You can find us at teambamf.net, or rootzwiki.com.
There are many roms to choose from out there. Try them all, then decide.

I've been running dasBamf Roms for a month now and love them. I am currently on UberBamf PR3. every Tbolt is different, so experiment and see what works best for YOU. After you install each ROM, make a back up of it. That way, if you install one, that you don't like, you can revert.
I like a fast, customizable ROM without all the Sense bloat so I use Liquid Thundersense. I've only had this phone for 5 days so I really have no other Thunderbolt ROM to compare it to (I ran Gingeritis for a couple hours and the stock ROM only long enough to download Gingeritis to the device; I just hate Sense lol). As far as it goes though I've owned five Android devices total and have rooted and ran custom ROMs on all of them. Only way to go IMHO.

Hello all,
Wondering if you guys can help me decide whether to flash an ICS ROM or not?
I have my Skyrocket tweaked and set up perfectly. It contains...
Version: 2.3.5 (refuse to upgrade to 2.3.6 due to many issues I see some are having)
Kernel: 2.6.35.11+ (excellent "stock-ish" ROM from romracer)
Launcher: Go Launcher EX
Phone is rooted and like to use CWM.
With that said, I'm wondering what is the best option to try? My main concern is obviously performance and battery life. I have spectacular battery life right now and don't want to lose it by flashing an ICS ROM.
Perhaps something that will work with the romracer kernel? For example, something that would still allow me to use CWM and MUST also support boot animations and BLN support. That is a must for me, as I use it to tweak my battery life quite a bit.
Anyways,
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
If you do not have the heart for glitches, ICS may not serve you well. There is no real benefit that I can see unless you are a hardcore phone tweaker. I am always debating whether to just go back to stock GB myself !!!
BUT if you really have the itch, the safest is mhx's full bloat stock. I used that for a long time, and it is very - relatively- stable.

Battery Life & Stability
Thanks to the OP for this thread. I'm in a similar boat, but am just looking for the most stable custom ROM with the longest battery life. Coming from rooted Gingerbread, I've setup my ICS exactly the same (debloated and lean), and my time between charges was cut by 1/3 at least.
From my limited research, the CM9 Beta 1 ROM sounds to have excellent battery life and great stability. However, I'm open to suggestions! One question I have though, is I keep hearing folks talk about "nightlies". That that mean it requires nightly updating? Thanks in advance.
I've been using PTSD's AOKP ICS ROM and I love it. I've mixed that with InstigatorX's Kernel and my battery life is amazing. I'm an Android noob, but I'm digging this setup.

the word nightly means that it's scheduled to auto build a new version with any fixes made during the day... It wont auto update your Rom though you have to manually install it
It is a very easy process though. you download the new nightly and reboot to recovery: wipe system and wipe cache then install, wipe dalvik and fix permissions and reboot if you installed any mods like inverted apps or gps fix or dpi changes they need to also be addresses after the first boot
Because i don't like setting it up all the time i just install the new nightly weekly
CM9 Skyrocket
I actually *just* restored to Gingerbread today, after months of using Cyanogenmod 9's official and nightly releases, as well as the InstigatorX kernels.
My battery life was okay, but for all the extra bells and whistles, they seem to get the basics wrong, unfortunately :/ I still couldn't send texts larger than 160 characters without splitting them up, and they'd always arrive out of order, or not at all. Other apps wouldn't behave properly either, and my mobile network connection seemed to change/drop just from looking at it.
So CM9 looked promising, but still has a ways to go, and it's rated as one of the better ROMs for this phone. I didn't even want to try CM10, because their bug list is still bigger than CM9.
Can I ask where you got your romracer kernel? I'll have to give that a try. Also I'm looking to replace the current radio with something better.
I had to rebuild from scratch because somehow my gingerbread backup was corrupted. I used Bonestocketeer's ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357274 ) and the only issue I've had with it is I can't change the LTE/HSPA/GSM setting in Mobile Networks to just HSPA/GSM. I was able to with my original ROM, and that seemed to help battery life.
Thanks again for your post!

My recommendation would be NexusMod, then. It features the proprietary performance tweaks available in the TouchWiz ROMs, so it's faster than Cyanogenmod, but it has a lot of theming that makes it look and feel closer to AOSP. There are still some ugly elements of TouchWiz that exist, but it's a big improvement over a lot of the other TouchWiz-based ROMs.
For sure, CM9 has more features and tweaking options, and a more consistent AOSP look to it, but it's slower than NexusMod and still has some very minor bugs. It does, perhaps, offer you a few more options in how to save battery, though.
I have to say, though ICS is a massive improvement over GB and we have stable, mature ICS ROMs available. I would strongly advise upgrading, but if you're concerned about bugs, stick with a light TW-based rom like NexusMod.

Since I don't have time to monkey with stuff, I jump on whatever bandwagon has the most use and support (thanks to all the people who DO have time to monkey with stuff). Accordingly, I got my subsidized upgrade from VZW yesterday in the form of an S3.
I'd been running an OG Incredible on CM7. Zero problems, worked when I needed it.
I got home, rooted using this fast, simple method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342
Loaded up CWM Rom Manager and flashed Synergy v1.6 before doing anything to the phone other than having it activated by the gal at the VZW store.
Have all my apps installed and Ti backed up. Have my IMAP email running. No issues and the battery was great today. Now to start using it.
Likely I'll go back to CM once official and stable, but this seems a good stopgap.

leaving HTC to Samsung. I want
to say Samsung rocks!
Very happy with the S3 and running on
synergy 1.7 had run the IMO v0 beta
worked gr8.
Only cons for me on IMO's kernel
when the phone is off and would charge via wall charger it would vibrate every few seconds and never charge more than 80% range. If I left the phone on and charged via wall would not do this
When you restart the phone from cold start will go through a series of 3 reboots before coming to the main screen sometimes it would end up in the recovery menu, I also wiped cache, dalvik three times before flashing.
Love IMO's kernels they rock but the mult reboots for me has kept me
on the stock with SynergysROM 1.7

also interested. i havent flashed roms in a while but i like soem of the touchwiz features.
CM10 wont have motion control support, right?
No, CM10 does not have Motion Control support right now, though the Alpha build for CM10 works well, I wasn't pleased with the battery life. So, I'm about to ty CleanROM. Synergy wasn't for me, but it is a solid ROM. For 4.1 and Motion support, best bet is to wait for Samsung to release 4.1 for the GSIII, eventually somebody will root it, and that should include motion support.
I prefer Synergy, its always been great for me, and i get amazing battery life with it. I haven't tried beans so i can't comment on his, but it really boils down to personal preference. Some will say synergy and some will say beans.
Does synergy have any big bugs that someone would not flash because of it? And how is the data reception, i haven't been getting that good of reception even with stock.

The latest nightly appears to have everything worked out and data reception for me has been great.
Personally, I use SynergyROM (currently nightly R50).
I have yet to encounter any significant bugs. The Samsung Motion controls seem a bit off, but I'm not sure if that's how stock is or if it's just the ROM.
As for your questions about reception, SynergyROM has increased WiFi and Data transmit power. It supposedly means faster speeds, which I assume is achieved through a stronger connection?
Running Scott's CleanRom and it runs great. I see new version 2.0 is out now.
Cleanrom IS the only ROM I haven't tried as it wasn't out yet, but of all the others I kept returning to root66 as everything Single thing works perfectly, it is the fastest set-up I have ever used on ANY phone and battery life is as good as any other ROM (regardless of some of the ludicrous claims posters make for battery life)
Bean 8 with imosyeons LeanKernel 2.2 > Root66>Synergy 1.7...have not tried clean rom.
I've seen no bugs so far in the latest Synergy nightly (r50). Synergy has been my daily driver for a while now and is very stable with excellent support from the developer. Highly recommend.
CleanROM 2.0 just came out today and from the description sounds great. However, several of the bloatware apps appeared after installation (VZ Navigator, Color, etc) even though I de-selected them in the installer. I'm trying to get my post count to 10 so I can let the dev know in his own thread.
Seems people are saying different ones are the best. Still not sure so i'll probably look more into each one.

The NoSympathy ROM is pretty dang awesome. Pretty much just root, deodexed, and zip-aligned. I ran it with lean kernel and it was very happy with performance. I honestly think it is a great combination of performance and stock TW.

Is the "VRALF2 vs G1" referring to the kernel, the ROM, or the radio/modem. I get so confused with all the conflicting terminology on these forums.

Seems people are saying different ones are the best. Still not sure so i'll probably look more into each one.

different roms for different needs.

All of the above, in each context. F2 and G1 are two different builds (official ones from Samsung), which each have their own kernel, system base, and radios. You wouldn't mix and match kernels with system bases, but radios are interchangeable. I recommend the latest G1 radio, for the record.
Most TW ROMs get built off the latest base (and get ported over to new bases when they are released), because they tend to add bug fixes. You should know which build your ROM is based off, because in some cases third-party kernels can be compatible with one base and not another. Read carefully.
I really like TouchWiz on GS3 but since we have no idea when VZ is going to approve the JB version of it (hopefully soon, but who knows), I like to know which current Rom you guys think is the best.
Of course this is very subjective, but everything is on the table.
I'm looking for answers along the lines of:
I prefer rom-X
Pros: its fast, unbloated and stable
Cons: 3G/4G handoff is hit or miss, camera app is poor.
Something along those lines would be great.
Thanks in advance

Flash each and try it yourself. JB ROMs seem to have random issues that some people experience. Nandroid your current setup and give a few a shot. It's the best way to find out what works for you, and not for others.
Personally I like clean rom the best.
Everything works on the 2.5 version. Extremely stable, great battery life.

Of course I'm already doing that, I'm looking at JellyWiz now. However it can take days to put a rom through its paces
I just wanted to get some opinions from others. For example I might only talk on my phone once or twice a month(I mostly use sms). I wouldn't want to leave town, decide to make a phone call and find out that the 9 button on the dialer doesn't work. Conversely, for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would want to use voice search (S-voice, Siri, whatever). If that happens to be broken in a specific rom I couldn't care less.

I agree with you. However, not everyone is experiencing the same issues as everyone else. You've got to see what debilitating issues your phone has
Jellywiz is definitely top notch. Has all the amenities that I wanted in a jb touchwiz rom. Coming from a galaxy nexus, its as close to perfection as I could get. But like its been said, try them out for yourself

Jellywiz is the best in my opinion. It's super fast and stable, I'd use it on a daily basis but I'm not a fan of TouchWiz.

Cleanrom is an ICS touchwiz rom. It should be very stable.
Jellybean is being built without source, Jellywiz has been running great. Minor flaws but they vary from person to person, phone to phone. The best way is to backup and give them a try!! Your the only one that can decide what's stable enough for you.
