I am looking for a Jelly Bean based rom to flash on my phone. Is there a rom that has many, if not all the features of Jelly Bean, including Google Now and the camera improvement? I understand everyone is going to have there opinion I simply want to see what people suggest. I also understand some people have had some issues with apps such as the camera, the battery, phone calls, etc so if there are any roms to suggest that are pretty stable in functionality that would be great.
Smh......

Q's go in the "Q&A" subforum.
And "Best ROM" threads are frowned upon here. There is no good answer to this question, as everyone has different preferences and needs. Further, suggesting one ROM over another, is an insult to the devs, as it suggests that the other ROMs are somehow inferior (when its largely a matter of personal taste). These discussions often devolve into a popularity contest. And just because a ROM is popular, does not mean it will be the best for you.
Just look through the ROMs, pick a few to flash (with the features you want), and see what you like best.
The ROM threads usually indicate very clearly what works, and what doesn't. If not in the top post, just reading through the last few pages of the more recent responses to that thread will often answer your questions.

Dear All,
Excuse me if I start a new thread here but it is my understanding that certain questions are not to be made in the development section.
I know much has to do with personal taste, your own experience and research, but I am coming from an HTC Aria, and I am looking for a custom ROM for my Inspire.
There are many ROM's posted that I know and appreciate have a lot of hard work and dedication from developers and unconditional testers and followers, as for instance the specific ROM thread for BinDroid's ROM itself alone has close to 900 posts, so please don't be offended by my questions, as for what I have seen and managed to read it seems to be that this might be what I am looking for:
Is this a stable ROM for daily use?
Are there any trade-off's / sacrifices (camara, video, flash, sound, buttons, gps, etc? that don't work or have limitations?)
I can understand that for many long time users and followers there can be "known issues" , but please understand that for newcommers these are not, so your kind comments will be most welcome.
I thank you all for your support and look forward to your answers and any recomendations that you may have.
Cheers!
I would say this Rom is stable for a daily use. For awhile I was running this Rom for little over 2 months. It's very clean. Its one of the handful of roms out here that works form start to finish. The support from the inspire to the desire hd threads for this is very quick if you had any issue that you may come across. I couldn't remember the last time I.had any major issue when using this. Battery life is great if you do a lot of Pandora browsing uploads like to fb etc. Works for me with my inspire. So would differently say flash this sucker.. its worth it.
If I remember right the only thing I did was a different kernel and a uv script lite other then that bad ass.

Let's first start with, welcome! Secondly, while you're correct dev threads are typically (depends on the dev team or individual developing the ROM) are reserved for development, there are Q&A's for each respective ROM that you should use to ask questions regarding a specific ROM. If everyone created a separate thread about each question they had for each ROM they use you can see how chaotic the forums would get.
The best way to figure out what "issues" a ROM has is to read some of the recent posts in both the Q&A and Dev section, you'll see there what most people are dealing with. Most ROMs here are pretty stable and I would say fine for daily use (ICS has some minor bugs due to source issues but from what I'm seeing there are a couple of somewhat stable ICS builds).Remember this is a development site, so some independent searching and reading is expected on your part.
As for Bindroid, I used it way back when they firsant started with sense 3.5 and loved it. Danny and the team are real nice guys and do great work. I would say that ROM is more then capable of being a stable, daily driver. Just remember, only you can decide what you can live with and c live without. All ROMs come with trade offs, some users don't mind them and don't even consider them trade offs or issues which is why you need to decide for yourself. Goood luck man!
I think we should have them. Roms get daily/weekly updates and I don't understand why we shouldn't discuss pros and cons of different roms every now and then.
Me, for instance would never flash coindroid without these threads. I'm loving it to bits. If a better rom comes around I'd like to be aware of it.
What is wrong with knowing that coindroid's standby battery consumption is 50ma vs revolution's 90ma before flashing both?

I understand your intentions with this post, to be completely honest. You've got a good initiative for bringing the everyday "flashers" as you might call them, into the loop without reading about the specific daily updates on each of the countless ROMs on this site.
The problem lies in synchronization with every other thread. If the OP of CoinDroid, for example, posts his updates on the original development thread, then what's his incentive for also posting on this new thread? If someone else did it for him in a quick little blurb, that's fine, but then there could be misinformation spread and not even necessarily the latest updates. Someone would have to go through every thread, every day, and update this new one after that.
Another issue with a thread like this is that most of them venture into the realm of opinion, which is great for everyone in gaining a general consensus opinion on an awesome ROM (ARHD), but awful for discerning any actual facts. It's just people stating the pros and cons through their eyes in a cluttered manner on one thread. If we wanted that, we could just go look at all the countless other threads that go through this same routine. Hell, the people making the opinions could be running a very old version of the ROM that feels stable anyway, with a custom kernel and any other number of mods. That means their opinion says nothing about the current state of the ROM.
ROMs don't get that drastic of a change of a nightly basis. Plus, it's not really necessary to have a thread that says "This one is best" or "I like this one because..." simply because there are so many threads that previously address this. Feel free to start them (it's a forum, after all), but don't expect replies every time. I just think what you're proposing is far too lofty for a forum
I've used kingsbeat jb Rom, It always got stuck on the lockscreen. The touchscreen would work but it wouldn't unlock.. I'm using viper right now but really like the speed and other features of aosp.. any suggestions?

Cm10 since most other roms use it as a base

THESE ARE NOT allowed

Hi, I'm planning on rooting this weekend when I have the time. I also plan to flash a custom rom. So, does anybody have any suggestions for a sense jelly bean rom? I've been eyeing viperxl, so any feedback on viper would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks.

Best rom threads are frowned upon. Try out the ones that you think will be best for you. Also, questions should go in Q&A. Glad to have new people, hope everything goes well for you.

Okay, deferring to the wisdom of the elders on this question. I've been all over the place with ROMs, TW and AOSP, but I'm heading to college in a few weeks and I'm looking to "settle down" with a ROM and ride it out until my upgrade in November. Is there a clear winner out there right now in terms of stability/battery life that still has some cool features? I'm very minimalistic and I don't need to be able to customize every single facet of the UI, but rooted stock is a bit too dull for me! I'm on CleanRom 8.2 atm and it's good but not great, I'm really looking for the ultimate daily driver ROM and kernel, please advise a lowly serf such as myself.
I don't believe the rules of XDA allow a "what is the best ROM" thread, so you may not get a simple answer (and to be honest, people have different priorities in what they want or need from a ROM, so what may be best for them may not be best for you).
That said, perhaps the best approach would be to look through the Android Development and Original Android Development topics and look at both the early posts (the OP, plus a page or two after), and the last page or two to get an sense of the install, the features, and the level of support you might get with each ROM. You will also be able to eliminate ROM's that are no longer supported (eg, I believe Scott is no longer supporting CR, so even though it was/is a great ROM, perhaps not the best to consider).
Also google the ROMs to see if there are any YouTubes showing the install and use of the ROM. There are many good reviews of ROMs and seeing them in action is a big help.
Last, a number of ROMs are being discussed on Google+ so you may want to check out that resource too.
And, it may also be a good idea to actually try the ROMs on your phone. ROMs can act differently on your phone than they might on mine.
Hope this helps!!
My recommendation is read all the rom threads as much a you can and experiment by trying them out. "Best of" rom threads are frowned upon because it generally discourages people to read and learn. I am going to close this and trust you will be able to find what you are looking for with some diligence and have fun trying. Thats what makes this site great!:good:
