ok i have a simple question, even there is indeed, bazillion TL;DR posts, need just short sum up.
My Sensation is close to end of its warranty time and even i already switched to SGS3 iam playing with the idea of finally rooting it. My question is simple and i would appreciate as simple answer as the question is.
Is there a JB ROM which is working as intended (w/o disabling the voice search fully working GoogleNOW, all past bugs free, like non woking or broken wifi, BT, whatever, battery problems or any other possible bugs)?
Thanks in advance for reply
I think Bruce's CM10 is pretty much bug free.
Yes, would recommend Bruce's CM10 (the build in my signature is very stable)
I recommend Paranoid Android by Dragun Korr. I've had great a experience with this rom. I use it as my daily rom. It's stable, smooth, fast and plenty of customization! The development is great and fast! It's proven in my experience to be the most stable jelly bean rom I've ever tried! Do try out a few jelly bean roms and see what you think personally. I think it's always best to try for yourself several different roms, if you don't, your really selling yourself short. It's better to try out a few or you won't ever know what's available. There could be something out there that you would really like but if you don't experiment you will never know. So my suggestion is try out a few and see what you think! Best wishes and I do Hope you take my advice! Have fun, experimenting is the best way to find what suits you best!

With the recent lag fixes, superchargers and browser fix, and youtube work arounds, no more data drops, phone calls actually working, aside from video recording i don't really see any more big bugs associated with ICS Roms. I have decided to try out an ICS ROM. I looked through the forums about the best ICS Roms and see those two as the consistent winners, so it would be great if someone could give me to choose one over the other.
P.S. Also, the first sentence is just my assumption that there are no more major issues with those roms, but if there are any more big issues like gps not working or maybe some of the fixes I mentioned above aren't included in all current ICS roms it would be appreciated if someone pointed that out. Thanks
Paranoid +1

I usually always use Domination, although I have a soft spot in my heart for HFS since it was my first ICS ROM. Currently using the new version of Genesis and actually don't have any plans to try out Paranoid.
You're going to have to do what we all do and just try the ROMs yourself. Plus, it's fun switching ROMs every once in a while!
I've tried them all, and I always come back to Genesis. IMO, it's the most customizable, and the newest Stable build runs great.
But, try them all out. Don't take anybody's word on which is best, they all have pros and cons. You just have to figure out which one fits you the best

I am trying paranoidandroid right now and I am waiting for Tony, I think it is, to get the data fix from the EB team because the data drops are kinda annoying. However, everything else works fine, except it can be a bit laggy sometimes but that of course is because of the lack of hardware acceleration.
I have been reading these forums for the last few days. I have seen a lot of threads like this but they have not really answered my questions.
I need a stable ROM, where phone, internet, text, gps all work. I am looking for the best battery life. I am also not looking to flash a ton of updates.
I would like to get a jelly bean ROM if one fits my needs. If not then Ice cream. If you guys could recommend a jelly bean and Ice cream rom I would appreciate it.
Thanks again for the help!
PS Kenny if you reading this and you want to make a Jelly Bean Peoples ROM I would love to try it out!

For Jellybean No doubt Paranoid Android
For ICS (TouchWiz) Synergy
I guess everyone agrees with you

It's just tough to give a meaningful answer to this question because it really depends on how you use your phone and your personal tastes. Best thing to do is try out several ROMs and see what works best for you.

For ICS: Cleanrom....it removes all the bullcrap/bloatware and doesn't mess with it too much so things work and work well. Dirtytweaks if you want a little more customization
Synergy is good, however still has some bloat in it that I'm surprised has not been removed...still a very good rom thats geared moreso in my opinion for a heavier tweaker as opposed to just needing a steady not messed with too much rom
Beans is another good one and in my opinion the inbetween of clean and synergy
For JB: paranoid or just go with the default official cm10 nightlies though I can't speak much of personal experience with jb
The CM10 Nightlies(Jelly Bean) are/have become stable enough with yesterday's release. Minor GPS problems as in taking a minute to fix(it does fix, just takes longer than normal sometimes) and some FC's in random situations(Swiftkey install, when you go to change settings through it it FC's the settings. Gotta go in directly to the settings) are about it.
All the functionality bugs seem to have been squished out, no more 3s call delay/echo. So far no data drops reported except from dirty flashes. Text works fine even with a SMS(not MMS) quick reply popup if you want it.
It's pretty nice and stable. I recommend trying it out. (first boot is tricky, let it sit at the activation screen until you see all your radios connect then reboot it and you should be good to go)
Thanks guys I appreciate the advice
Sorry forgot one other question
How is the battery life with ICS vs Jelly Bean?
Thank you
Incubus's jellybean port is 100 percent perfect, literally no issues. And a 5889 quadrant score.

you should spend a week with a CM10 style ROM (i prefer paranoid android as already suggested), and a week with a touchwiz rom.
they are different experiences. you should try them both for sure.
Hi all, I'm hoping to tap into your superior knowledge here...
I'm currently running the AEON ROM and I am pleased with it so far, it's stable and responsive, but I was hoping for better battery life.
Anyway, now that I've been bitten by the custom ROM bug, I'm thinking of trying a JB ROM, but I have some questions.
I'm looking for a stable(obviously) ROM with working bluetooth and gps and good battery life. The gps is a must as my gf and I are into geocaching, but the BT won't be a deal breaker. Is JB really worth flashing?
Here's some ROM's I'm looking at:
Paranoid Android -- but I don't believe gps works with this ROM, I can't really determine that from the thread
Unofficial CM10
LiquidSmooth
SlimBean
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And one last question: Is it necessary to flash ICS before going to a JB ROM or can I flash directly? I've searched for an answer to this and I can't seem to find a consensus.
Thanks ahead of time
P.S. If you think I'll be better off staying with a GB rom, I'll take recommendations for an AEON alternative.

All the JB roms you mentioned are excellent, it always comes down to personal preference.
Perhaps more important is to be sure you understand the process of going from GB to JB. There are many threads on this subject and it will be more than worth your time to read up before jumping.
Hey guys, I'm usually just a lurker on these forums and read up on the latest developments but I've neglected my Optimus p500 after getting a Nexus 7 haha
This ISN'T a 'what is the best ROM' thread, but I'm basically wanting to know if there are any stable ICS or JB releases out for the p500 that are good enough to use as a daily driver?
I tried and tested a range of ROM for this phone before finally settling on Neko's GingerSnap a number of months ago as I found it to be the most stable and most responsive (excellent work, by the way mate!). I'm a bit bored with it now and wanting to try a newer build.
Any recommendations?
Cheers!
I think it is safe to say that ICS is pretty much bugfree. I am not sure whether video recording and high quality playback has been fixed in JB, but I'm going to assume that they are still there. And the battery life on ICS is much better than that of JB. So if you want a stable daily driver:

that's what I would go with
completely agree with sweetnsour
and if u want a highly customized and stable ics rom try aokp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613712
Awesome!! Thanks very much guys. I might give AOKP a go and see how I get on.
Downloading now
there is a thanks button if u can press it:silly:
Thought I'd give you guys an update. Been running AOKP for a day or so now and I'm really liking it. Nice and responsives, no restarting bugs like the first ICS ROMs that came out. I generally just use my phone for calling and texting now I have a tablet, so haven't tried games etc but so far so good.
Thanks again guys!
So I had CM 10.1 for a good while and decided to try something new song trues Jellybam. Everything works smoothly but my only complaint is my battery life has gone done significantly. So I'm looking for a pretty highly customizable rom that's stable, smooth, and has pretty good battery life. Any suggestions?
I don't really have the time or patience to try out a bunch of roms at the moment so I need some ideas... Thanks
By posting this you will end up doing exactly what you claim to have no time or patience for. The universal fact is that what rom works for one person doesn't always work for everyone else. Also these threads get closed as these can lead to unwanted debates. In the end you are better off trying out the roms yourself to see if it works well with your device but you don't have time for that so good luck in your search.
I'm not looking to go out and try 200 roms and then find out the one I want is the one I didn't try.. I'm just looking for ideas to narrow down my options
Well your op didn't help much as pretty much all of Touchwiz roms are stable so are most AOSP roms. You want customization there are the following:
Bonestock
AOSPA
Chameleon
MOAR
Plasma
AOKP
Pac-Man
Avatar
Goodness
Carbon
Mysterious
Xenon
Vanilla Rootbox
Jellybeer
MIUI
Axis
Hyperdrive
Synergy
Obsessed
Liquidsmooth
See I pretty much mentioned most if not all the roms with high customization options and results may vary in terms of battery life.
Thank you, and sorry I'm fairly new to rooting. Do you have any opinions as to which ones I should try first?

Well you can try Chameleon since it is pretty good rom. When it comes to this section it helps to be specific in your threads as it helps when solving problems also avoid posting suggestion thread as like I said the moderator will close them down.
I got the best life out of Bone Stock or literally the factory 4.1.2. I got the worst battery life out of AOSP ROMs.
I'd say try bone stock, and if that doesnt work try the factory odexed rom - it was the only rom I could get power saving mode to work on.

Also if you are willing and have the money, get a note 2. I switched and I get noticeably better better life.

if youre unwilling to put in the work, why should anyone help you?
every device runs different and you need to read and try what works for you.
if you dont have the patience for reading and trying then maybe roms arent for you.
not trying to be a jerk but he answered your question when most would avoid this type of thread.
I've looked around at quite a few roms. it's just since there is so many I don't know where to start. I'd like to try a few roms that quite a few people recommend and work down from there. It just seems easier than trying rom after rom after rom for a week or two when I could ask here, get a narrowed down list so I could only spend a few days, find what I liked the most and move on.
Ok thanks for the help.. sorry I wasn't to specific in the op :/ I'll start with chameleon and work my way around the list.

What you did was fine. Some people are more easily annoyed than others. Try bone stock. Customizable with awesome battery life
