These two ROMs, Superlite and Sky ICS seem to be the best alternatives for moving my Skyrocket to ICS. I'm not going to ask which to install, I know what you will tell me..…try them both.
I'm hoping I can get some opinion as to which is more stable, more likely to install well over my configuration without problems, which is being developed more regularly, which has more known bugs, stuff like that, battery life.
I have a 727R, that's the Rogers Skyrocket, with the latest CWM, the faux kernel, 2.6.35.14, v10m. The radio is i727UCLA3, and the ROM is UCLA3_2.3.6_rom.
I want to install with a ZIP file, without the leaked ICS via ODIN. Not sure if this matters.
So grateful to any advice.

They are both being developed regularly. Read through the threads and you will see development, bugs, and progression.
there are 100's of pages of threads from different periods in their respective developments. It's hard to keep straight what's old and what's current.
I'm looking for help, the same as I would give you if you asked. so please xcrazydx, if you have nothing of value to offer it's better you just don't waste your valuable time replying.
Its easy to try them out yourself. Everyone is different. Flash one, run it for a few days then flash the other.
PS. Don't be a jerk, and just go read for yourself. We don't owe you anything. Quit being lazy!!

Not as simple as you think. Over the last 2 weeks since the leak, there has been talk of Rogers not working, or having to install the leak first with Odin and then install a ZIP rom. Also worried about the radio with Rogers, I've heard problems with that.
So I'm nervous, and I'm looking for some help. No, you don't owe me anything. I try to help people here who I don't owe anything. It's just the decent thing to do. It's why we have discussion forums with places for questions. And how is it lazy by asking people to share experiences? Jeez, this place is turning ugly. Try to remember when you were new here.
The whole thing about it is, if you don't do the reading, you will most likely end up writing repeat questions because you didn't feel like doing the reading to fix any little issues you may have with a ROM. Reading first is like getting free experience.

You asked about 2 specific roms. If you don't have the time to read through some posts you shouldn't be here and you shouldn't be flashing anything at all. I help people all the time, but this is something you must do on your own. No reading = you asking stupid questions that have already been answered multiple times.
I gave you a courteous answer and explained they are both worked on regularly by the devs.
Which is not what I asked. Why don't you go away. I can say for certain you've turned me off this forum.
Jeff, I have read both threads completely. I don't understand why I can't ask a simple question here about experience with Rogers phones on these two ROMs coming from Gingerbread just to get confirmation that there are no major issues which were first reported when the leak came out.
And I don't understand why people who don't want to answer, feel they have to come her and criticize.
Didn't even ask about smooth ice by rem... Which i think is super awesome too... The long and short is this, all the roms are built from same base so not really any huge differences

I can give you my opinion if that would help. I had less problems with sky ics. None are perfect. But both are better than stock.

I can say for certain that you are lazy, rude, and incompetent.
Right back at you.
LTE service no longer working
I have changed the apn settings to lteinternet.apn and nothing happens. im on the new release from the real thing
Everyone has told you the same thing, read the thread. I even answered your question about which ones were being developed regularly. I don't know what your problem is. Other people called you lazy and a jerk, yet you lashed out at me and I did nothing but try to help you.

Hahaha, I tried to help. Without reading the threads of the roms in question one cannot make an educated decision on which one is best for your needs. I even answered one of his questions. I don't get what his problem with me is.
If u want an opinion. Sky ICS. Then remove more Bloat if you want and make it more "super lite" my "opinion" is Sean updates more often and listens what people want. But it is so easy to just flash both and give both roms a try and see what "you" think is better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Both roms are based off the same ics leak so in that regard they are equally stable. Just install the from that has more of the features u want, because from a majority perspective both have been well received
I can't comment on Sky ICS but I've been using Superlite 5.0 for a while now and I'm very satisfied with it. It's very stable and relatively bugless for me. But to repeat what others have said, it's really down to personal preference. Both roms come from the same source, therefore stability wise there isn't going to be a major difference. If it helps, I used both sean and mhx's GB roms, and I preferred the latter, which was a big part of why I went with ICS Superlite in the first place.
What's the best TW ROM for this phone?

Yes there is a best.. there always is and no i do not have the time to flash all day long, job, wife and kids, trust me, i need a working phone im only asking for advice and opinions, if you feel like answering me like that, just don't answer. Im not looking for attitude im seeking help. ok?
Can someone with a more polite approach help me one please? Thank you
They don't allow "Which Rom is best?" Threads here on XDA. That's why people aren't being very "helpful."
The only advice I can give is to just try different ROMS and see which suits you best. Also, not every phone responds the same to every ROM. It's literally impossible to give a Pros/Cons of every ROM. It also comes down to personal preference. If you want a good starting point I'd go with the Sky ICS roms. If you don't want touchwiz then you may as well go with AOKP or CM9.

There really isn't a bad rom out there these days. By the sounds of it you are looking for stability and don't have time to switch all the time so you may want to steer cleer of jellybean for now as some kinks are yet to be ironed out. Look at the various roms, decide if you want TW or AOSP and go from there.
There is also a no "best" policy as we don't want to diminish anyone's work. Devs make roms for free and work very hard to give us the latest and greatest. We don't want to say x is better than y or vice versa. Every dev and user brings something to the community. Someones improvements may be greater than anothers but they are merely building blocks for what is yet to come. The community grows as a whole, encompassing everyone's improvements as we strive to make the Skyrocket all it can be

I'm not asking for the best of the best or anything like that, I have read some of the ops for the ROMs, now I'm asking for opinions on what would be a good stable ROM, one that doesn't have to be updated for a while. This is for my wife, and I really don't want to flash 50 times to find one that makes a good dd. So if you all would be so kind please post your opinions and the ROMs, and explain pros and cons of them...
Thanks for the help.
What is "stable" for someone might not be what you consider as stable. Unfortunately only way to know is your very own testing. Thread locked

I just got this phone today and was wanting to put a custom rom on it, only question is...what do I want to put on it. I'd love to put JB on it but have seen where its not too stable and I'd like a fully functional rom to start with although I'm not afraid to do some trial and error runs with different roms. But anyways I'm wondering what everyone has to recommend and why.
Thanks!

CM10 is stable. ICS and 4.1.2 are what you should be flashing.
Be prepared to be flamed by people that think they're better than you btw

I think there should be one best of thread, maybe stickied, where people can compare and discuss roms. But yeah the mods do not like best of threads because some people are too sensitive and take things personally.
OP first I suggest read and read and read....since you just received your device, I can not stress the importance of doing your homework, and you will just have to test the ROMs yourself, with so many variables involved with different users, only you can make the call what is best for you and what meets your needs...
Thank You.
I'm looking to get away from Sense. What is your favorite AOSP/AOKP Rom.
I'm looking for something that's the most stable, good battery life, and
ongoing support. If you can lead me in the right direction I'd love you.
"Best ROM" threads are distasteful, and frowned upon here.
Everyone uses their phone differently, and has different tastes. What works for others, might not for you. Just pick a couple that look like they meet your needs and try them. Its pretty easy to figure out who likes what by reading various existing threads.

How about here or here? <3
That's the only way to find which ROM is "best" mate, gotta get down and dirty and see what YOU think is the best.
Because these threads don't really help much we just closing them, as in this one.
Thanks for understanding
