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've been using seanzscreams ROM's for months and his latest version is the best operating system on a phone I've ever used. It's fast, smooth and the battery life is truly amazing. And he posts updates oftentimes every day. You can find that thread here:

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

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

Why does everyone think they are a moderator? Dude if you don't want to answer, just ignore the guy. Your adding more spam to respond to his spam, as I just added more spam by adding my 2cents. What did you gain by being a prick, it's easier to just ignore the guy and those you don't want to help. Others on here don't feel like you, let those people help.

I tried Trickdroid 7.1 on One S, it's pretty amazing but i too prefer Viper One S battery life, overall tweaks and stability.

do trickdroid and viper both work with t-mobile US, particularly wifi calling and tethering/hotspot hack? I think the 4.0.4 roms are not yet compatible.. anyone?

The viper give me a good battery life

i had great battery life with the stock duo rom, even with a 2.1 GHz overclocked kernel. at least 24 and a couple times close to 36 with medium use. but then i went jellybean and fell in love. but if you optimize your cpu usage, battery life will come with it

[Q] Fastest ROM - Suggestions for a minimalist!

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:

Carbon ROM 3/15 nightly build with KT kernel is FAST no crap bloat apps. I am running ktoonservative/bfg on Carbon ROM 3-15 build. I couldn't believe it last 2 days 0h 38m at 16% left battery and got 3 hrs 24 mins screen. Thanks to [Team Kernelizers][How To][TK Mod 1.0.1] Updated 03-21-13 KT747 Kernel Tweaks

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.

ROM

What's up guys?
So I've been on skyfall Rom since I got my m8. But I'm getting kinda bored. What Rom out there is giving you guys the best battery life and best performance?

Also, does the ROM really determine the speed and battery life more than the kernel givin that all rims are on stock kernel and debloated?

CleanRom. If you want tons of tweaks... Not the Rom for you. If you want stability and battery life... That's what you are promised.

I just wish there was adblocking built in like skyfall.

There are plenty of add ons to handle that. Scott presents to us pure clean stock and the best battery life possible without adding anything on to risk issue.

without tweaks, skyfall and clean Rom are pretty much it I think. then again, I haven't seen great battery life since the new Rom base and radio.

Hi,
ROM is the basically for speed of the Gadgets (Mobile/Desktop). HTC One (M8) has a good ROM memory. As you said you are troubling with battery life. Internet surfing kills battery very fast as compare of other application. SO, I can advise you that whenever you does not use internet please off the mobile data.

While we appreciate your quest to find the best, it simply doesn't exist! In most cases, you will receive many different answers from many different people. This at times can also lead to arguments
It's always expected that each and every user will read, test and make decisions on their own. What's best to some may not be to others. You have choices, enjoy the trek while finding that out.
For this purpose we do not allow "best rom" threads.
Remember half the fun of owning an Android device is the, personalization you can do with it
