CM9 if you want everything to work.
CM10 if you want everything to work a little better but not quite as reliably yet.

CM10 is fairly stable, and wicked awesome. I highly suggest DragunKorr's Paranoid Android. It's based on CM10, and is updated all the time.

thanks guys ill give cm10 a go cause i like it on my nexus 7

I asked the same thing last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908100

Bruce's cm10 is stable as well, and very smooth!

[Q] What is the best rom,kernel, or mod for excellent battery life?

I'm running EnergyROM right now, and honestly I'm not really impressed with the battery life. Looking for something that I can actually see improvement or better battery life.
Thanks :cyclops:
I really like the battery life on Cm9 and on trickdroid... give them a shot
I loved energy at first on my amaze 4g but he started tweaking it so the standby doesn't use hardly any battery... and ever since I wasn't a fan of his rom over on that phone... haven't tried it on the one s yet.. prolly won't

I'm using TrickDroid 6.1 with Virtuous Kernel. Been averaging 22-26 hours with simple usage.
I'm using trickdroid v5.1 (eu not t-mob) and it's performing good, if you like the stock sense look try it
CM9 and AOKP by far have had better battery life than any of the Sense roms.

Do not agree, AOSP ROMs are still full of bugs, so the devs could not concentrate on performance so much.
But if the bugs are solved I am sure sou can get a good battery life with them as well.
Without making my ROM good, trickdroid with virtuous kernel v06 is brilliant
I've used both AOSP and sense based roms (Trickdroid, Energy, etc.) and really haven't noticed too much of a difference in battery life using stock the kernel. AOSP roms are quicker than the Sense-based roms, however with Sense removed... it's just as quick.
If you throw a custom kernel on the sense-based roms, they easily win out. As Torxx said, AOSP roms are still in alpha and the devs are still working on getting a stable release. Once they get the bugs worked out... I'm sure the AOSP roms will again be just as good, if not better.
Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I'm looking more for Roms with nearly everything working so, aosp and cm are a no go for me right now.
I suppose I'll give the trickdroid with the virtuous kernel a shot.
As for miui, I will also but I'm not a BIG fan of miui.
The sense stock sense is working for me though.
I just don't like the "no exteneded power button menu" on trickdroid like EnergyROM has. I like to take screenshots just by holding the power button and pressing it.

Was going to say the same. the latest CM9 build i tried was actually quite good.. but the camera and all the little bugs (nothing too major, just annoyances really) are what drive me back to a sense base.... The camera on any AOSP based rom is DISMAL compared to what we get with sense. Even the picture quality is not the same. I honestly couldn't BELIEVE how much a difference the software made!!
I have tried all the Sense roms and every update that comes out, well... cause i have a problem, BUT i can say, that at least for me (in the US on Tmobile) the TrickDroid rom is hands down the best IMO. I can actually clock my cpu DOWN and it still flies, i get RIDICULOUS battery life (day and a half with moderate use).
I would say give that a shot OP but DEFINITELY flash the tweaks package!!! Pretty awesome options in there!!

First I was on trickdroid and yes I had a better battery life than stock! But I like to test roms so now I'm on Paranoid Android based on CM9 and the battery life is good to me (2 days with a "normal use" but that means nothing) and the tablet mode is amazing!

CM9 or AOKP?

what do u use and with what kernel? and what is the best set up?
You can't have other people choosing for you! lol everyone will have their opinions and liking towards different roms. I personally go for CM9 + InstigatorX's kernels. Some people go for AOKP or Chimaira other AOSP based and use Instigator's kernels. From there you have to choose which version or which governer is to your liking, if you prefer a certain setting like performance ones or power saving ones etc...
As for CM9 and AOKP I am an avid CM9 user but have used AOKP before. AOKP has a lot of customization right out of the box, CM9 is going from the ground up so they add features slowly and is constantly update almost once a day. AOKP they release one update every say 10-15 days~ and occasional milestone which will have more features than fixes. I like seeing updates gradually come and look forward to them on a daily bases thats why I stuck with CM9 and I like it for its stability. I've had a few FC's on the older AOKP but those are probably gone now with the latest milestone but features and readily available tweaks, the unicorn has them all (AOKP). I would personally make a nandroid back up and test them out yourself to see if its to your liking. My preference may not be the same as yours so its each to their own. :good:
Thanks for the reply bro, just wondering what the peeps on here were using, I think I'm going to stick with cm9, I really dig it, but I was wondering what kernel should I add, its a big mess with a bunch of releases on that forum lol

More 'features' in 4.0. But it may bootloop you. If you're ok with dealing with that then 4.0. I myself am trying to decide and I don't want to deal with bootloops so I just, right this second, decided to go with 2.2.1

I would go with 4.0. I was having trouble with my phone looping when I put on UCLF6 modem, I switched to the newest kernel and everythings been smoother. I would also say don't be afraid to try things out. Usually you will know what you like and don't like after you test a few configurations.
Just backup and keep multiple versions of the kernel in your SD so you can switch just in case it fails to boot. I'm currently using 4.0 badass underclocked to 1.1ghz when idling/light use and use smartassv2 when I play games.

I use Chimera RC2 and it is amazing with InstigatorX kernel. Had some trouble getting it to run at first but finally got it to run. As for setup, I prefer performance so I am working on getting it to stabilize with 1.7-1.8 OC. I am still testing governors and UV settings but SmartassV2 benchmarked pretty damn high compared to badass and ondemand.
RC3-(Official?) should correct issues and may be released today

For those having battery life issues here are some UV settings that I posted up in InstigatorX's thread. They have been stable for the past 36 hours.

In my humble opinion, CM9 tends to be a touch more stable than AOKP. But remember AOKP at its essence is CM9 with extra features thrown on, so it's bound to have the potential for a few more bugs. But both are very stable and won't give you any more issues than any other ROM really. Basically it's a question if AOKP's features are something you feel you want. I recommend spending about a week with both and then deciding.
Where can I get an stable official aokp download? I can't find it anywhere!!!! So annoying

No such thing as of yet. AOKP is based of cm, and that's not stable yet either.... that being said, this is pretty close:

Seeing that there are many options to choose from, I guess than a poll may help us decide. Which ROM are you using now. Are you happy with it and would you suggest it to others?

I am using bruces CM10 ROM. Working great!
I'm on DragunKorr's Paranoid Android 2.11.
Buttery as hell and i love the hybrid modes. It's not 100% working yet, but the missing elements are so minor that they don't affect me for how I use my phone.
If I weren't using this, I'd be on Bruce's CM10. He really set the standard there with that one and it's only cos I love the hybrid modes that I'm not using it.
Both ROMs have breathed new life into my phone - finally, the full power of the sensation has been realised!!!
pyromod CM9 here, pretty stable and fast. Good battery life too. I would definitely suggest it.
On Bruce's cmx and enjoying it very much very pleased that the CRT animations are fully functioning and the stock SMS app had pop ups now like hand cent does ^^ once they manage to get the front facing camera functioning I will never leave it I have also used berserk mode on by memnoc which I thought was very nice but the fact that I couldn't use wii remotes through Bluetooth on my emulators pushed me to full aosp not too sure where I am going with this aside from Bruce's cmX is highly recommended by me :thumbup: front facing camera and usbotg is all we need now

What about battery life, how is it?
I've tried several different roms. Virtuous Inquisition is good but it was giving me wrong battery reading, kept jumping up and down and I couldn't tell how much battery I had. CM9 is nice but the front facing camera doesn't work (at least on the versions I've tried). CM10 Jelly Bean by Bruce is great but it's unfinished, a couple of things are not working (front facing camera for 1).
I'm on ViperS 1.2.1 right now and I LOVE it. The rom is pretty fast and stable. I enjoy the tweaks the devs have put on it a lot. Battery life is pretty decent. I got around 18 hours on average use.
I think if you want speed and smoothness, go for the CM or AOSP builds, they beat all other in that department. I personally enjoy Sense 4 so I go with Viper S.
I used HyperNonSense for 5 months and just flashed Android Revolution HD an hour ago, no reason other than trying new rom
you have not forgotten anything? smartdroid daemon sense 4? I do not see
Used OpenSensation for some time and was very satisfied except that many icons and fonts are just too small for me. Switched to Anroid Revolution HD 6.7.2 and I love it.
Battery life is just average I think. Since I disabled Wifi, I can live with it.

Hi there, I'm using Viper Rom. I am happy with it! The update had made it much better I do have some weird issues sometimes like Bluetooth turning on by itself but for me that's about the only negative issue I'm experiencing. I do like the customization and really like sense 4.1. I would like to see better battery life from the Rom.but I'm now using sebastian kernel with mod and a slight under volt plus a new mugen battery and I've actually managed to stay on 100% for three hours! Thank God! So hopefully the battery issue is solved. But all in all for the people who like sense roms, yes I would recommend viper. Hope this information helps some how and I wish you the best!

I use Viper 1.3.0
Major categories of custom ROM according to me are -
Sense based - sense 4.0 based or
Sense 3.6 based
sense 4 based
Eg viper, insertcoin, ordroid etc
Sense 3.6 based -
Eg arhd, elegancia, etc
IPhone look - MIUI
Samsung look - cyanogen mod
Plain android - AOKP/AOSP Based
I have very less experience on these. I prefer sense based.

Gingebread ics or jellybean

I really hate how I flash a new from every day. I though jb was good at first but not like everyone else I have my doubts. A little to "heavy" doesn't feel right on my phone. I really appreciate ics and it feels alright on my phone, but I really miss gingebreads reliability and speed, just curious, does anyone else feel the same? Should I just switch to gingerbread again? Is other a way to keep some features of ics on gingerbread?

I used to run CM7 and CM9 on my i9023 nexus s.. and I found CM7 to be really unstable. I switched to a CM9 nightly and it was a godsend.. smoother, more attractive and 10x more stable! but I found it sort of "slowed down" after about 3 months.. just a circumstantial observation though, didn't do any tests.
I'm hooking up my friends with a couple of Nexus S's shortly because they need phones. I'm thinking of giving them CM9, rather than 10, for better battery life. But I'm guessing CM9 is susceptible to the SMS remote wipe hack? haven't tested it.
Personally I never liked cyanogenmod up until 9.0 , I'm on cm9 right now but it random reboot & hangs :/ cm10 seems pointless to me.

true dat. I remember when AOKP came out with their first JB rom, it was so unstable; rebooted my phone every 10 mins and I flashed cm10 and was happy for a while but it then started to do the same thing. Then i went to paranoid and it was even worse; so i went back to cm10. and then AOKP JB build came out and i was skeptical about getting it because of my first experience with them but I gave it a try and I have been flashing AOKP all the way up to build 4 and let me tell you; BEST ****ING ROM ON JB right now. My phone never crashes; never lags, and is super crazy smooth/fast!

Thing is, every rom is fast and smooth right after you flash it. In order to talk so good about one, I'd say you need to keep it for, at least, 3 months. If it's still stable and fast, with no wipes needed, no daily reboots, I'd believe you.

AOKP JB is very stable now. I haven't wiped since the nightlies, up to build 4 currently. I flash new build/nightly as soon as it's available. 3 months? Don't think I can hold for even a few days after new build is released.

Need a new ROM?

Ive been rocking CM for sometime now with this phone and all previous ones, and I do like it its been my dd, but im looking for something different. Now I know this is/can be opinionated and subjective to users, but I would like to get into a good discussion about my next ROM for my S3.
So lets see what you bring to the table.
JellyBeans, CleanROM and HELLSROM are great, stable and fully supported. Check them out. I go between them and am currently on 4.2.1 HELLSROM
Depends on if you want a TouchWiz ROM or an AOSP ROM
Well I'd like to stick with AOSP or AOKP

If you want to try something completely different and stay with AOSP, i suggest trying MIUI.

This is a great build/ rom in the link
That's actually one I'd prefer not to use, I tried that with my droid 2 and to be honest I did not care for it. For me it didn't flow well...if that makes sense

Well would you want a stable one or a recent one?

yeah i know what you mean, i used to use MIUI but not anymore, now i use Jelly Beans rom by beanstown106... which for me i like it because of the AOSP theme and feel, but with touchwiz features and stability. mainly the touchwiz camera.

I've been running CleanROM 5.6 with LeanKernel 1.6 for a couple of days now. I've never used a version of CleanROM that wasn't stable.
If you want a stable AOSP ROM that doesn't have much bugs you would have to go to late versions such as Milestone 1 release of AOKP, but if you want a TouchWiz ROM with a 4.2 AOSP feel HellsROM (recent development so will have a few bugs) would be perfect.
AOKP
HellsROM

I have thought about using AOKP, and from what I can tell they are getting ready to release a new version over at rootzwiki ( I could be wrong ) or I was thinking about Parnoid..

I have looked at that one too. I don't know if I want to go back to touchwiz, I would not bother me if I did.

Ya, I tried touchwiz for a while for some reason battery life isn't as balanced as in AOSP ROM's atleast for me anyway, but performance wise they are pretty smooth.
I guess the problem is there are so many spread out across so many forums it's very difficult to get them in one spot.
I've been looking at what's been mentioned but still nothing has jumped out at me. I guess I need to choose one and go with it, unless I should wait for something to come out

I prefer TW roms myself. As stated before, CleanRom is one of the most stable roms I have ever ran but GalaxyMod 14.1 has so many great custom ports that it has turned my S3 into a mini Note 2

Ive been looking at Clean ROM for awhile, I might make the jump. As for GalaxyMod 14.1 I have not seen that one.. might give that one a look too
I am about to try out the newest version of pac-man ROM. It is a hybrid of AOKP,CM 10 and Paranoid Android.

The newest version of cleanrom is my personal favorite. Its very fast, clean, lite, and super stable. I don't have a single issue with anything on this rom. Its updated every now and then but not to fix issues because there are none, but to make it even better by removing more crap from the system to make battery life even better. I've tried a bunch of roms and I get better battery life, faster and smoother performance, perfect stability, and overall happiness with this rom than anything else that I've tried. Along with the k3 modem and rpm its perfect. I got 1 day and 4.5 hours off a single charge before I got to 10% battery with medium use (using my phone as I normally would, without purposefully letting it standby to save battery). If I had to pay $50 to have this rom, I'd do it. Flash it and give it a couple days and you'll see why.

I'd have to say that synergy r257 and clean ROM 5.6 are the two best ROMs
