Stable OS replacement for stock froyo?

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.

Is EaglesBlood CM9 4.0.3 stable?

On the EaglesBlood website it says that there CM9 build is discontinued but does anyone know if its stable or not? it doesn't say on there download page.

Until LG officially releases ICS for the G2X, not a single ICS Rom currently out there is "Stable" by how you're using it. There are some GREAT ICS Roms out there for the G2X, but they all share the same problems (No HW Accel for video, Video Recording being bleh, etc.)

I've tried 4 different ICS roms. None are "stable". Some are slow and laggy and others freeze and reboot. GPS doesn't lock quickly either.
Flashed back to stock 2.3.4 rom and everything works as intended.

There is no "official aokp" for our phone, but the t989 is officially supported by white hawk. The hardware is almost identical so R4IN has been porting it.
Search with Google and use xda plus keywords, it'll save u time bro.
Also if u want ICS based aokp the two ROMs u can choose from are "AOKP flashback" by team PTSD, or chimera 2.2C

More powerful and super fast and smoother than ics, it is the best AOKP jellybean, but since its unstable you may experience hard reboots and bugs.

SGS3 Vanilla JB Rom?

Hello, so far I stuck with stock roms... first ICS now leaked JB... I really would like a plain vanilla jb rom still retaining the great features of the SGS3... can anybody point me in the right direction?

No such thing, as vanilla android is unaltered, i.e. the nexus devices.

I would say that cyanogen mod is probably as close as you'll get. Aokp is close too but has much more customization options.

There isn't one. Use cm10 and don't use the customization. Also you will not have the s3 features like motion controls, camera, etc.
You're best bet is to try a couple out and find what works for you.

I'm gonna work on building vanilla JB rom as soon as the semester ends......don't have enough time till then :\ Should be convenient timing as a lot of the leg-work is already complete

I've already started working on one, but its not looking very promising so far. Its really really difficult getting the build to cooperate, and then once I finally do get it to cooperate thenaybe it won't take too long to get some of the initial kinks ironed out so people can start testing. But at least if I cannot get the bugs worked out enough to post it for people to use there is someone else who will begin working on it shortly. So hopefully we will have a pure AOSP ROM soon, one way or another.

Omega ROM
Give Omega ROM a try, there is an optional to remove all SGS3 default bloatware that comes with it when you flash the ROM.
I am using it because this ROM is having all other SGS3 features like the motion control, stock camera, etc.:good:

[Q] Unsatisfied with Redemption ROM 2.0, don't know where to go from here

I had an Incredible, also with Verizon, that I rooted and had Cyanogenmod installed for almost the entire duration of owning the phone. I have the S3 now and I rooted it and flashed Redemption ROM 2.0, thinking it would be decent. It's not. I'm still on Ice Cream Sandwich and not really sure what my options are from here. I've heard there's a ton of bugs with CM10 (as expected, it's unofficial) and the rest of the ROMs for ICS in the list on this site don't really look appealing to me. Plus, I'm not entirely sure how to get to 4.1 from my 4.0.4.

Cleanroms by Scott have been my daily drivers. Scott is very on top of things. He answers about 99.9% of post. Fast, stable and great on battery.

There are ROMs that are based off the Android 4.1.1 leak provided by Samsung and Verizon. There are official nightlies for CM10 as well. You might want to check them out when you have the chance.

if you like cyanogenmod install it on your phone.
i hate touchwiz. ill never go back at this point. except to try any note 2 port that comes over

Clean rom 5 is a great daily driver. I run that with 4.2 camera and keyboard on top of it. It's updated frequently and gets great battery life.
Being based on tw is a downside for some people but it runs great.
I recommend it 100%

If you want AOSP that is solid try Slimbean, Eclipse, Liquid or ParanoidAndroid. They are all solid and work great IMO. I got bored with AOSP and recently went back to TW based Clean ROM.... With all the Aroma options and themes it is wicked nice, fast and super stable!!!!
