I have been using froyo since I bought the phone. I have been resistant to replacing it with a custom ROM because that always led me down a road of instability on past phones but from what I see of ICS, it looks like a very good upgrade.
That being said, the current jelly beans upgrade still has bugs (namely gps) so I was wondering if there are any previous OS replacements of gingerbread or is that are stable and fully functional?

"gingerbread or ICS"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Most stable and completely functional would be GB roms like Emancipation or Aeon.
ICS is also quite stable and functional, except for the 720 video recording being choppy, but if it is something you don't use then this could be the one for you. I would recommend cm9, uniyumaporn or remICS-ux

most stable and smooth would be stock samsung gingerbread. but cm9 is also a very good choice(smoother than stock actually but no mhl). and gapps in ics are much improved. voice search in particular is way more usable.
I would suggest Aeon for stability.
There are still a handful of bugs on CM9 and CM10. Nothing that stops us early adopters...
if GPS were fixed JB
For stability I loved Emann. Then switched to uniporn until cm10 got GPS up and running. From my experience, as of now Scotts cm10 8/8 build with 7/26 gapps is running perfect for me. I haven't moved to the 8/10 build yet because I don't have use for the mtd partitioning as of yet. I've always had the mind set of don't change a running system. If new features come out in a later build I will definitely update to it. But right now my phone is running super smooth. With working GPS

Don't go JB for at least a couple months. The builds are unstable and they come frequently.
I would go for Entropy CM9 as even if a new build is released you can just flash it on top with no wipe (keep your apps/settings)

Stock LB3. I use it for stability.

I made the switch to Paranoid Android 4.0.4 ICS a month ago...
Best move I've EVER made.
In my opinion, it works far smoother than stock ever did for my phone. =D
...about to try the Jellybean update... I can't wait!

upgrade from Froyo
Hello All,
I have been using my Froyo Inuse for a long time now, and it is now showing it's age, with more aps not working anymore as they get new versions. Can someone lead me to some instructions about how to go about upgrading from 2.2 Froyo?
Thanks

Go to the development threads and seek your stable rom, stability is up to what you do with your device.
As these threads are way too similar to "best" rom threads, and they always become arguments over what rom is best/stable - This thread is closed.
I am running CM10 because I wanted a taste of jelly bean, but now that jb is being rolled out for the Nexus s 4g I am wondering if it will still do the automatic update from sprint? I would rather use Sprints version of jb for the nexus s 4g. Will the OTA update still be sent to my phone if it is not running the stock rom?
No.

you can use the 7.2 one click tool to return to stock, but make sure to back up all of your aps and data first

Where can I find this, though? I didn't make a copy of it when I started flashing new roms.
Rookie mistake.

But isn't it possible that Sprint made a better running ROM for this phone that CM did? Can I expect the CM Jelly Bean ROMs to get better for the Nexus S 4g because Sprint released their version?
I know my noobness is showing but seriously I am trying

Your choice: stock rom (sprint ota) vs custom rom (cm10). Custom rom gives you more tweaks, enhancements, better battery life, etc...
A little bit of googling for sprint nexus s 4g ics factory images will take you right to the google page with the factory images. After flashing the 4.0.4 image, the jb ota should arrive. Of course read all instructions before flashing, and you will lose all apps/data

I was wondering what rom do people think is the most stable JB for our S3 and also what roms have NATIVE WIFI Tethering enabled? I'm trying to flash a rom with stock touchwiz
Beans 5 or synergy work good for me
Both have native WiFi tether? No app needed?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Cleanrom 5.0 is super stable, same goes for Synergy Rom. In my experience the TW roms seam to be more stable. I always use nova launcher so I can move the app drawer button back to where it is supposed to be, along with other customization's.
I'm thinking about using Beans 5, does anyone know if the AOSP text supports emoji in that rom?
I find CleanROM 5.0 to be very stable. You can have TW or use another launcher. I use Nova.

Bean's roms are all really stable and run with little to no issues. His latest build is by far his best.

You rally only have 2 choices.
Stock JB Touchwiz
and CM10 variants which are stable but lose some hardware support like HDMI (on 10 inch) and IR blaster
Got a bit confused as to which would or wouldn't work between 3113 and 3110 because there's no official jb for the 3113 yet, correct?

I've seen people say that the Stock 3100 JB works fine on the P3113. I cannot confirm that myself since I don;t have a P3113.
You can get the P3113 JB from SamMobile

A good Non-TW jellybean ROM is CM10.1 with the AOKP kernel. It is very smooth and is pretty stable IMO. (Can be found here)
A good TW jellybean ROM is the Sungsonic ROM. It comes with lots of extra audio/visual mods that can easily be removed if unwanted, and it's fast. (Can be found here)

I personally use Expresso. It's great, can still use IR blaster, get jelly bean, and it's very stable, great on battery life.
try sungsonic hd, it's nice...

official ICS 4.0.4 i haven't installed anything yet and the phone is rooted
I would recommend flashing one of the many awesome Jelly Bean 4.2.2 options. Sons of Android, Slim Bean and CM 10.1 (though I heard some murmurings that there were MMS difficulties for some people on the recent nightlies) are all fantastic options. Besides being super fast and customizable, they are receiving updates all the time to improve stability and add new features. If you prefer more stock software there is an official Jelly Bean ROM from our Northern Neighbor the i7272R up in Canada, eh.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: I'm sure there are other fantastic options out there, but Sons of Android, CM and Slim Bean (onlychevys' build) are the three options that I have used extensively.
I would recommend you do a factory reset in recovery. BUT, backup all your apps and settings first. I'm guessing you're not rooted so that could be a problem. I recommend titanium backup but you need to be rooted.
