Hey I just wanted to know peoples opinions on what is the best CM10 Rom so far. Especially considering the things that dont work like MMS or tethering or Netflix (I dont think any work with it though)
I like it. It's clean and boost free.

Official CM10 nightly
mms aint working yet but should in next official nightly. which should be in a few hours... other than that, official definitely had the most stable release!
NFC also isn't working but hopefully it gets fixed soon including MMS.
You'll probably just want to roll with the officials. Most everything you want has already been or is soon to be merged.
Anyone get WiFi tether to work? It worked for me on CM9
Just a question. Does CM10 have the long press volume feature to skip tracks while the phone is asleep? Love this about synergy

i have used about a day and here are my thought
unlocked bootloader
i have cleaned cache format factory reset before install
after boot i have loaded my app with data not bloatware with toolbox pro
using go launcher no live wall paper and juice defender
rest of app are... well just application and few games.
and here is real pro and cons
Pro
Fast, it does the job, google and now other jb features are works perfectly
unlock bootloader can be easily done thanks you adam.
boot time is faster than what i used to use AOKP milestone 6.1
Con
UNSTABLE, within half a day rebooted like 3~4 times while i was doing something
who know how many times it rebooted while i wasnt looking.. it seems more because from battery status
there are few blank spots. i have no idea what is wrong kernel perhaps?
i am not sure i thought CM is made from AOSP so i thought it should be pretty stable but i guess not.
also i have car blue tooth device with handset free (GROM) it wont connect and my logitech one works perfectly
DATA also not stable it think for battery it tries to turn it off (i think it's from juice defender) but takes about 10~15 seconds before i get the data
if you dont have problem with rebooting at random times, some glitches and no softkey (it's nightly so i cant really say it's bad rom)
this is the ROM.. it's faster than any rom i have tried.. what do you guys think??
maybe i should have tried longer but for me it was too unstable.
does cm10 have any critical bugs??
So, I was curious about a couple things.
First, how do nightlies work? Do you have to go and download a new file every single night and flash it? Or is there something working with the ROM that will flash a new version for you as it comes?
Second, I was curious as to when you guys think that CM10 for the SGSIII will be stable to the point where all major things, data, keys, gallery, camera, MMS, bluetooth, etc, are working reliably? I'm incredibly pleased with the stock experience, but there's always something to be gained from custom ROM's and I'm looking forward to being able to use CM10 I just don't want to miss a big part of my phone.
Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything! I'll throw in my two cents too by saying that I'd recommend the official CM10 based on the fact that MMS seemingly works currently and I'm unsure of how it's doing on the unofficial ROM.

Again, its fully stable. In your "second" part, literally every single thing you listed is fully working and stable. Except soft keys which were actually disabled because they have the same purpose as hard keys and just take up valuable real estate. Yes, nightlies are every night but you can dirty flash if you're lazy. You only really need to flash once a major fix or update has been merged. Just follow the changelogs.
And for you, based on what you reported as not-working, I'd also say you got a bad flash or something. Mine runs almost identical to what stock JB ran on my GNexus. Only better with mods

I have been using first Helly bean as my first JB ROM. Though it was claimed that it was fast, I never realized the speed. The UI/bowser/almost every think was lagging. Next I tried CM10 the same story... first it feels fast by as time progress the same lag.
Today I installed LANIGHT. It is really fast.... unbelievably fast. I didn't know android on cappy can be this fast.
What other ROMs do you guys use are equally or better?
I'm giving it a look now.
I use Helly Bean and it is very fast with some slight lag when changing between apps, I imagine due to the apps using resources. App drawer and launcher are smooth.
My only issue is the datadata folder, only 172MB and it fills up right away. Even clearing cache and uninstalling the biggest apps, more stuff just comes in and takes up that free space.
May have to try a non datadata ROM but a user in the Lanight thread said the no datadata ROMs use 430MB partitions but they fill up even faster, so I'm not sure what my best option is for speed.

That was me... :cyclops:
Anyway... I can concur with the speed of this rom (LANight v2). I was a long time TeamNyx ICS RC5 user and I wanted a little change. Debated and decided to try CM10... what a mistake (no offense to anyone... expecially the CM team). I know it is still in development but my experience was not good at all. I spent a whole 3 hours or so trying to figure out a way to make it work but nothing... it was not usable. I blamed the lag on the no datadata that the CM10 uses... so... back to an ICS rom. CM9 which uses datadata was wonderful... and stable... but reading through the LANight threads... I had to try. so with a lot of hesitation, I loaded the no datadata version... and I was so surprised!!! compared to CM10 and other roms with datadata fixes... it was flying!
Until I realized it's limitations that is... Like I said on the other thread, it seems that eventhough you start out with a larger partition, the fact that now everything is stored here (app & data) Vs. just the passing by data on datadata roms, it sort of defeats the purpose of having the larger space.
Anyway, I still am not dissapointed at the rom. I think the dev has done a fantastic job! It's just since not having datadata doesn't offer any greater freedom to load apps on these devices, I think I will keep this for a while and maybe try LANight's datadata rom. Because this one, flies in comparison to CM10... (but I notice some minor lag here and there)... I think if this one is this good, I have hopes that the datadata version would be even smoother...
Please let me know if this assumption is accurate...

I am using CM10 Nightly. When I first flashed it, it was real laggy. But I just reflashed it, and it works really well. Very fast, and as far as I can tell, its very stable. Maybe try flashing CM10 twice ? That's what worked for me anyway.
Any CM10 based ROM post about 9/13 has become SUPER fast, and just recently this last week all of them started using the LV setup for /data allowing about 3 times as much space for data with no sacrifice in snappiness.
very impressive. IMO the Captivate with these roms runs faster than a stock SGS 2, with touchwiz cluttering crap up.
i am newly using slimbean and like it alot except for a camera issue. (where is it) ucam for now. i tired jellyui miui awhile back but despite the beautiful black sexiness it was laggy for me. I am curious why there is so many different experiences with similar setups around here. same fone same rom different battery life... etc etc...

Exactly my thoughts. Helly lagged on my cappy but Slimbean really is impressive.
LLanight v6.5 DD
Im in the edge of switching from CM9 to some JB Rom, But Im still a bit insecure about it, cause I like stable versions, This phone is the only one I have, and I don't like to be dealing with bugs and major issues, So Can anyone really using this phone with Helly Bean or Slimbean, tell me how stable is? BTW This Roms are official stable versions? or they are still at testing level?
Slim bean . Awesome ROM and so far quite stable. No guarantee tho.

I haven't tried the recent helly's but i can confirm slim bean and lanight are both super snappy. Lanight has less features and just like every other ROM I've flashed since 2010 is buggy but has workarounds.
Use AceofSpades90's X-bean port in my opinion its better than his LANight Rom. Now im just waiting for v2 to come out Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863927

Thanks for the suggestion, and yeah, I've been reading a lot of good things about that ROM, of course some people with issues too... I'm not that expert about flashing roms yet, but I suppose while I keep my nandroid backups I can go back if I screw something up, thanks to Odin too...
I can't post in SlimBean Post because of my few posts (Just entering to this new world of Captivate and Flashing), and I read something about the need to flash a Modem for SlimBean, or that, SlimBean takes the modem of the current rom you are using, and since I'm using CM9, Will I need to flash a modem or SlimBean should automatically use the one I have now? I don't even know what modem I'm using :S
I hope not to bother you guys, and Thanks in advance!
Helly Bean has been a real trooper for me. I've updated it to nearly every version that has come out.

Meh, just download the ROM from the thread, follow the instructions. Modems can be downloaded herehttp://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html. Just flash the modem after you flash the ROM of your choice. Let the ROM load and then in recovery, flash modem like you would a ROM or a kernel. Profit from jb goodness.

Slim bean spontaneously reboots into recovery
Hi, I wish I could ask about this in the developer's thread, but I have no rights there. So, maybe some can shed some light: I installed Slim Bean 2.6 a few days ago, doing Heimdall to stock and using CM10 as a stopgap rom to get bootloaders. Everything installed fine and works great except one thing: the phone spontaneously reboots into recovery. Sometimes once a day, sometimes twice an hour. It is a problem because one in recovery it just sits there, eats battery and waits for me, so if the phone is in the pocket, I am missing calls, emails and etc. Any suggestions where I could dig a bit to find the cause?
I am going to jump on the band-waggon and try some rooting, I have not done this before so if I miss any information please dont yell LOL
Right Now I have a Fido (Canada) Nexus S i9020 4.1.2 jz054k baseband i9020auckj1 stock rom I guess people call it, the only thing I have done to my phone is unlock it, for another carrier thats it. I have read a lot of posts about rooting and everything, and with everything I have read I am getting so confused. Basically I am asking what would be the best rom and kernal? Basically what I want to do with my phone is just text, picture message, use it to actually make phone calls(weird aint it) lol, and sometimes I play games. With the update I got officially from Samsung OMG the phone is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow, and my battery doesnt even last a day. I dont use to many widgets, just one for my data counter and thats really it, I dont have to many apps installed, really only sports apps and task killer Voxer so I can have PTT with everyone I talk to. SO I dont do anything fancy, but with me loading nothing just starting my phone I only have about 50mb - 70mb ram free and my CPU is showing it is constantly at 100%, so basically I am wondering what should I upgrade to (rom and everything wise) and yes I have read the forums and everything but please if you could. give me instructions how I can load this to my phone. Thank you for your patients and reading this, looking forward to hearing from this awesome community, I also use WIFI and Bluetooth sometimes so those features need to be working, and the Camera on the phone..
Thank you so much
Slim is newest and overall the best:

R: [Q] Best Rom and How To PLEASE
hi!
I tell you that I have tried many rom, PA 2.54, jellyshot, PA 3.1, and now I'm using the 4.2.2 helly bean base cm. I advise you helly bean because it is the best ROM I've ever tried! battery life is a bit insane, so many features, fast (with helly bean kernel, no devil kernel), smoth. everything works!

In looking to flash a Rom too. Currently rooted and running a custom kernel so ready to go.
What do people think of jellyshot Rom?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
The best rom is still MDO 4.1.2. The 4.2 roms are good at the beginning but then tend to lag a little bit too much.
For me slimbean or miui
Does anyone know of a website or youtube channel that does reviews for the S3 ROM for Verizon? I hate downloading buggy ROMs so it would save me some headaches.

ROM thread? You mean the section with all the ROMS in it that has Stars next to the thread title? I've been in that thread and it doesn't seem like a well organized place to find something stable. The information is there, but just not well organized.
You won't know if the Rom works for your phone until you tried them. If you can't find a Rom that works well on your phone then I suggest going back to stock. The reason I am saying this is because not everyone here have the same experience with the same Rom.

Thanks for the reply
Id like to help you find a ROM that you like. This phone is so much better running it the way you'd like it to. Are you trying to run a stock based TouchWiz ROM or AOSP? This is very important as not many AOSP ROMs are completely stable. TouchWiz stock based ROMs however are very stable. I would like to suggest my ROM made off of the official ROM for our phones. It offers many very nice features which you can either choose or not choose to use with the Aroma installer. It's the forth release of the ROM so all the bugs have been fixed and the ROM is fast and stable. Please check out the thread to the ROM and read through it and see if you fund it worth trying. The thread offers a lot of good information about exactly what you will find in the ROM.

Thanks man, you are so kind! The only ROM i have ever used is Synergyrom and the last few updates I did with Synergyrom had some bugs in it. I haven't tried the very last patch though. One update gave my bluetooth phone static. This last ROM i am using from Synergy makes Dolphin crash but I'm not sure if it's due to the ROM. My google maps also isn't working either. It works but it only tells me to turn left or right but never gives me the name of the street that I want to turn on.
Anyway, all I really need from the ROM is something that allows Nova Launcher to work, Bluetooth without static, Dolphin without crashing, Google Maps to work by giving me streets names when it talks to me, and the ability to use Amazon Video on Demand. The Amazon thing might be a long shot though but that would be really awesome! I don't play any games on my phone, mainly use it for music and watching movies from youtube or whatever I download. Amazon on demand would be great though!
Edit: One more thing I forgot to add! They keyboard needs to be 1 handed operational. I forgot what it's called but I currently have it on my phone, the keyboard is smaller and moved more to the right so I can operate it with one hand. I also don't know what AOSP is so I really don't need that.

Hi there I am a newb to ROMs and I have what I think is an easy question.
My girlfriend has a Nexus S which has gotten incredibly slow lately.
There dont seem to be extra apps running on the phone (i tried uninstalling almost all of the apps) so I assume I need to try a different rom/kernel (everything is stock of whatever was pushed to her phone).
I dont think she would care about extra features but would just want it reliable.
I really dont know what to install. If it should be some paired down rom/kernel, A new one, or older one.
I imagine a newer kernel (i think they have trim??) and paired down would be better.
Although using and old build for reliability/speed would be completely acceptable too.
Are there any recommendations? I am pretty lost.
Thank you so much!
Using Slim atm
Pretty smooth if you don't enable google now.
However the 512mb ram is really killing the phone, takes ages to load apps let alone multitask

Greenify looks interesting.
do the themes affect speed/ram usage?

Themes/theming can affect speed/ram.. If you want a rom to stand the test of time; MDO, Rasbeanjelly, Hellybean, Slimbean (4.1.2).. If you upgrade past this, the 4.2.2's are laggy and ram hungry.. 4.2.2's are also not as stable. Jellyshot and Rasbeanjelly are the most stable/ram friendly 4.2's... Use stable/or stock kernels and don't overclock!!! Once you set up the phone, it's a phone, all the "settings" don't make the phone any more or less a phone...
Sorry folks, recommendation for 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.
