I'm willing to experiment with roms until I get a good custom rom or ill have to get back to laggy ics, if I can flash a gapps with Map n navigation can u provide a link to it? Thanks a ton, this is the first time I'm trying a custom rom I'm so used to stock features .. Thanks a ton is there a way to get my ram n internal memory back to stock levels?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one of those versions

> ICS is fast in terms of performance, it also have this 3D hardware acceleration, drains battery a bit faster than gb and froyo.. but ICS uses more RAM ans eats more space on system partition unlike GingerBread where in you'll get about 300mb free RAM and 120+ mb free internal memory (google apps included) already. Disadvantages of ICS as for now.. is HQ video play back.
ICS feels much smoother and beautiful than GB, but it's unusable for me because of high RAM usage and HQ video bug
GB is stable and best for our beloved optimus p500 ! Whereas ICS is unstable because of HQ video recording & playback!

yup at the moment GB is at the top with everything working(ignorin minorities)..
Im back to ginger

ICS feels smoother, and visually is awesome. But has the issue of the openmax libs.
GB depends on the rom that you use. Its estable and many roms are for daily use.
The question is if you are a uses it only for calling, messaging and sometimes needs a faster loading speed. [ICS].
Or for multimedia. [GB]
Are you talking here about stock GB vs. custom ICS or compairing both custom roms?
I wonder which are adv. and disadv. between stock GB and custom ICS?
Is it better or 'natural' for our device to run on (rooted) stock GB?

Stock GB is a pile of crap.
i guess the audio in ics is way far better than then gingerbread..

Both custom
may i throw in a third option beside ics and gb?
when i got my device i immediatly updated to gingerbread...
was nice, everything worked and it had nice battery...
seeing so many devices on market with ics i also wanted it and i got hephappys cm9...
sometimes crashes but less than on cm7 after gingerbread...
everything worked fine but as already mentioned less sys space...
now when jelly bean is released i searched for a cm 10 for the o1 because it was supposed to run smoother and that stuff..
currently im running cm10 on my phone, the battery life is not best, its ok, and the camera works even with some glitches.
when you can live with those i would really suggest you to try jb cause its MUCH smoother than gb and ics, you have cool new features like the notification system and google now, still not with voice but it is on its way
just my 10 cents

ICS > GB
If you are looking for battery life, stock ROM (GB) is best. But once you flash ICS, then it's hard to go back, really!!
ICS feels much different and intuitive than GB. Though battery drain is a problem with custom ROMs.
I am currently using Hephappy rc-2 prerelease CM9 ROM.
Almost all features works with only new glitches. Waiting for Final release with curiosity!
After using ICS, I feel GB an outdated looking ROM.
So, don't use ICS rom, otherwise you ll never be able to use GB!!

One more thing, Browsing is more than 2x faster on ICS ROMs than GB!!!!

Not true.
Stock ICS keyboard just works.
Now get rid of any ordinary keyboards and get Swype. I use bi-lingual Swype here and it works REALLY smoothly and beautiful.
Use minimal ics keyboard from themes and app section only 1.3 mb.

My favourite: GB 2.3.3 + custom kernel
1. Stock GB 2.3.3 + custom kernel.
2. GB 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod or Oxygen)
3. ICS
Currently I'm running a very light stock rom (bloatware heavily removed) + ta kernel v.1.1 + custom apps that I use frequently (daily) + themed. Everything works fine (including call recording by Sanity), it's quite fast (I use SetCPU: 122-600 in general and 245-748 for the launcher and certain slower apps) and it has an excellent battery life. Those other apps that I use rarely (weekly or more) are installed in a second rom (based on cyanogenmod) that i boot from my sdext partition with multirom manager whenever necessary.
My Gf has bought a Tab 2 7.0 P3100..i have a i9000,so i'm not new in the flashing stuff..but my gf doesn't know anything about this,which is not surprising given the fact that she's a girl ..the stock rom feels laggy,a lot laggy to her..she saw my GS1 on ICS,it was fast,and she wants something like that in her tab..now if i put a custom rom in her tab,and she runs into some issues, i'm gone, i mean she would chop me into pieces before listening that it can be fixed :crying:..so if anyone could recommend me a faster,most stable rom(ICS or JB) for the P3100,i would be grateful to him for rest of my life ..it can be cm9,cm10,aokp, i just need a stable fast rom..
many good comments about aokp build 4, get her lots of good apps and widgets to customise it with,
i was a girl too
Stock ROM & AOKP are the best !
both CM9 & CM10 has bugs on it, it's really annoying
Stock ROM lags only on portrait mode, but landscape mode is fast.... you can trace the bug by using logcat, it's about the device failed to write file while in portrait mode

Hey guys I'm going back to GB. I'm tired of lags, freezes and the headache that JB provide to us. Can anyone tell me any kernel and any launcher that appears like JB? Thanks!

- How can a kernel look like JB? Kernels consists of thousands and thousands of lines of codes.... I don't think it has any UI
- Take a look at this thread for Samsung's JB TouchWiz launcher for GB...
- You can get CoCore 4.1 for GB I think...
- And lastly, why is your JB experience so bad? In my opinion, JB is way faster and better than GB.. the only thing is that it consumes a bit more RAM and Battery than GB....

I expressed myself wrong, I want a kernel for the android and a launcher that seems like pure android (like apex). And the JB keeps freezing, not good for games, video keep freezing and other things like that. I've already tried kernels, mods, CM 10.1 (that I didn't liked) and the majority stuff that people says. None of these is like the performance of GB that has no freezes, lags and the battery it's much better.
Oh yeah and I'm using CoCore 7.6, LQG deodexed, pure performance x, greenify (almost all apps), some tweaks of pimp my rom, settings and status bar like pure android and apex launcher.. Theres no reason to lag and freeze and it keep lagging and freezing! I installed this rom recently (about 2 weeks ago)..
So let me get this straight...
You want to use GB but you also want to make it look like stock JB?
Well unfortunately there isn't much option for GB users... the only kernel you can only use is the CoCore 4.1 kernel NOT "CoCore E" only "CoCore" kernel....
And for stock launcher you need to use Apex only, because Nova is 4.0+ and other alternatives aren't that good....
Stock JB look on GB? Try JetMOD then. You can easily find it in Android Dev section.

I think the reason for all is cocore 7.6: many people have freezes with that version!
Try 6.8, no lag and no freeze at all! Also 8.0 seems working good, but if you want to be sure, try 6.8. I used 6.8 for months, did not have a single freeze or reboot! And I don't have pure performance, greenify, no tweaks, stock launcher.

But, you ll eventually have to go back to stock jb because many of the apps on the playstore are not compatible with Gingerbread.
Hello all
Stuck with my old P500 for a couple of weeks so I've decided to try a couple different roms, I'm running the : [DEV][ROM][4.4.2][CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500 [WIP][VER-10 OTA]
At the moment, but it's too slow, everything lags on the phone, so basically looking for the fastest stable rom where tethering works, I don't care if it's gingerbread, ICS jelly bean etc, just want the fastest, any one got any recommendations?
Thanks

I am using the same KITKAT rom VER-10 , Running smooth..
Lag may be because of low internal memeory.. Use Link2sd n move apps to sd-ext , that would free up some space on the internal memory.
If u want to go back to older roms..
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574523
stock ROM looks and feel..
OR Try hephappy's rom for ICS
http://www.mediafire.com/download/m3nqsrfyyjmry9e/cm-9.2.3-ICS-PLUS-p500.zip (Not sure if Tethering works.. Find out)
Every version of that ROM I've tried lags, my internal memory is 60mb i can't move anything else over via link2sd most of it's system apps, everything lags for me, even typing a text message takes forever..
Thanks I'll check those out.

Tethering works on ICS and JB too but phone reboots after turning it off.
It's completely functional without that little flaw.

The first one wins for me in the speed/battery life category.
i'm currently in jelly bean 4.1.2 since the 4.2.2 update was offering me poor battery and stability .though the jelly bean version 4.1.2 was satisfactory in terms of performance ,the camera was awful therefore i'm looking for a custom ROM .so which to go ?i want the best battery life ,good camera and less bugs as possible. also if i need to install the AOSP ROM do i need to flash a custom kernel like cm 11 and if i need to which kernel is best as of now?
CM11 doesn't have good camera.Ok,the photo camera may be a little better,but only a little.Video camera lags a lot in normal to low light & low light of course,you'll have some graphics bugs.About the performance is about the same.However,I felt like the phone gets a lot hotter on CM11 ( and i DIDN'T overclocked more than 1.2 Ghz).I recommend you to go to stock,wipe everything(including system&boot) and flash Parralax ROM v1/v3(V3 has more beautiful themes) and then flash Vengeance r1 kernel.Use the Wi-Fi fix ( there is a thread right now in General section about how to fix it ) and remove all the bloatwares,disable all the notifications,auto-sync stuff.After this,install Greenify and select all apps that might wake your phone up(like messenger,facebook,gmail,whatsapp and so on) and I guarantee you'll have at least 2 days of battery backup at normal usage.All the best !
