Advantages are more control over the hardware and other customization options but if you're happy with the stock then stick to it. I feel the CM version of JB4.2.1 drains your battery.

I saw 4.1.2 stable rom .. How is its battery performance compared to stock 4.1 android.....

flash cm10 stable without changing kernels then you'll get a great battery life.

I have been using the Superlite CM10 JB ROM, v7.0 for a couple of weeks. It has a reputation for having an excellent battery life. For me, it is the first ROM (of many attempted) that doesn't result in daily crashes or SOD's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1862244
Good luck.
based on my experience, Sky-JB is great, super smooth, on my advice, battery is quite amazing, you should stick to T7 versions, T10 base is good, but on my opinion, i'm really satisfied on T7 base, well overall is superb rom, fast smooth.

[Q] Change from official JB

Hi everyone!
I need some information about custom roms like CM10/10.1,MIUI and Paranoid Android because i want to replace my official JB rom with one of them.
So,my questions (please compare to the official JB if it possible) :
1.How about the battery? Now it can last a day (11-14 hour) with heavy use (5-6 hour with screen on,some gaming and browsing,5-7 hour on 2G and other half with wifi.
2.The custom roms are noticeable faster and smoother,how about games?
3.How much stable for daily use? Is the camera bug solved?
+1 What's your opinions about the official JB builds?
Thanks,I can keep compromise for the usefull functions but i hope there will be someone who build a great CM build based on official JB .
1: Yes, battery is a little bit better.
2: I don't see differences between stock and custom rom. Games runs very smoothly even in stock.
3: Is stable, and the camera bug isn't solved yet. Flash don't sync with the shot. You can't take photos at night (PS: Only the CM have this bugs. MIUI, SCV7 doesn't)
JB builds are better, 100% working.

The 4.2 chineses is basesd on the 4.1.2 official JB. I mean, it's a rom for the JB official.
But, it says 4.2 when, in fact, is 4.1.2. It's just a modification of the build.prop. It's not real 4.2.

What is everyones favourite rom combination?

Currently im running cm 10.1.2 stable with marmite cm 8.7 (smartassv2/cfq 100/1000)
with direct inject tweaks
Still dissatified with the performance =/ might end up going back to 4.1.2, been a while

Wait for 4.3 ROMs to come out. I'm peronally using slim 4.3 alpha and quite satisfied with it's performance.
I've tested so much 4.2.2 ROMs for a while but as a result, I also returned to the latest factory image. Now I'm happy with stock 4.1.2 + marmite kernel. That's the first time I could use an uptime session for more than 3 or 4 days. To not support 4.2.* on Nexus S was a smart decision of Google—sorry for the truth, the fewest of us will accept this.
I've also tested this "direct inject" tweaks, but to be serious again: did you really felt the turbo? In my opinion it's a real placebo on our Nexus S.
Maybe I will try 4.3 in the future but I don't really trust the hype today.
4.1.2 + a new kernel, to get more RAM and a lot of great features (like voodoo sound, BLN,...), that's really enough for me. We all forget that new features will also be released in "older" Android versions. A 4.1 from 2012 isn't comparable with a 4.1 from today (e.g. updated Gapps, or features like the new Android Device Manager).

I have tried a ROM, or two, and I agree that 4.1 ROMs run smoother than 4.2.. the battery and performance are nearly the same.. But Slim ROM 4.1.2 is the best balance of features, battery and performance; combined with the newest kernels..

Personally HellyBean 4.1 and 4.2 are my fav...but then again I'm what you call a flashaholick and CM10, BlackBean 6, or Slim 3.1 work great for me, all of them coupled with marmite kernel
I'm happy with stock 4.1.2 + marmite kernel.

Using 4.3 slim bean alpha as well. work much much smoother than 4.2.2. The only issue I have is that when I try to open "developers options" in the setting menu, it causes the app to crash. Besides that I am very happy with it.
Where could I grab the stock 4.1.2 rooted ROM?

By the way Every Android 4.2.2 ROM is Better then Google Stock ROM Android 4.1.2 :laugh:
Benchmark of Stock ROM Android 4.1.2 is Just 1500+ .. So, i am Very disappointed..
I agree that there is no best ROM, I just wish I had the problem of picking a best 4.3 ROM for the NS4G... there are like 3 choices, maybe, and they don't handle data well, if at all.

Benchmark doesn't mean anything. I mean even if the do, there more than a benchmark number to the every day use.
It's also about stability, smoothness, memory management, multi app use.
I truly think 4.2.1 stock is the most stable of all of them. Add a good kernel to it, and it's like google on steroid. Again, we are talking 512ram here, so don't expect too much. People expect different things from their phone. I don't play games at all, but I stream music via bluetooth constanly while I use navigation. Imagine these 2 memory hogs running at the same time and someone is calling you.
4.2 for me personally was a bit buggy. 4.3 is much better, still not as good as 4.1.
Does BlackBean-9 to Nexus S?
Sorry folks, best rom threads get closed, why? because history shows that almost all of them become arguments over what rom is "better" and essentially, that is something that can only be determined by individual users.
Members are expected to read the thread in development to determine what is "best" for them.

Chose stable custom rom for my sis

Hello people
My sister is considering flashind custom rom on her SGS Advance. And because I'm not familiar with Samsung devices (I have two Sony :>)
I would like to ask you to help me chose the most stable and fully functional custom ROM.
At the moment she has stock JB installed but it has some freezes and doesn't run very well.
What can you recommend? It doesn't have to be the nevest android.
I think I would chose between SkimKat 4.4, CyanogenMod 11 by Team Canjica and VanirAOSP 4.4.4. I know those are very good custom roms.
Can you tell me if there are any issues with those? like reboots, not working features?
If you say custom ROMs, there is no ROM which is bug free but there are stable ROMs.
Stability depends on how and what you use. All 4.4 ROMs have reached to a state where you can use them for daily use.
I am Using CM11 nightly 20140614 and dont have any problems.
All the ROMs have their dev and Q/A threads, you can check them for the most stable builds and the working/non working functionality.
Try the latest vanir aosp its fast, fluid and stable...
For me its the most stable rom yet
Well SlimKat seems to be bugless.
VanirAOSP has some bugs with SystemUI
Go for the slimkat(final). It's the smoothest, fastest rom for our phone.

Test all roms to see which rom fit for you
CM 10.1
Wysłane z WOO-Phablecika 4.2.2...
Vanir is the best!
AOKP 4.2.2 by PV after uninstalling and reinstalling calendar is stable.
Wysłane z AOKP-fonika 4.2.2...
I'd have to go with Vanir. Everything just works and lag is virtually non-existent. The only downside I can see is slightly shorter battery life (could be just my phone though). One advantage that i love is it has it's own updater so it's not much of a hassle to get the latest fixes and improvements!
Another option for her would be to stay with stock JB bit change her kernel to CoCore.

More performance = more battery drain.
@lozohcum : How old is she? She want a girl theme too?
After testing almost every ROM, i think that CM10.1 is the most stable(with good battery backup)...
Liquid smooth 3.2 smooth as liquid with all customizations
just battery backup is 15 to 17 hr is matter

Yeah, you should try this. Cm 10.1 is awesome!
I think u can choose between VanirAOSP or AOSP from j.team.. The last one is disscontinued but its 90% finished and 100% stable.
U can choose one of them, or, simpli, test both because testing is the only (exactly) way to know if ROM is for you (or sister).
See all!
