There is no right answer. Our Devs all do amazing work. Just use the one that works best for your wishes.

For a noob(i mean this is the best way) cm9 may be a bit much, I'd say either embryo or nexus mod. Or, if you feeling crazy, sky.

RE: Best ROM
True enough, they are all great! but for a noob who flashed all the roms the least buggiest so far is SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10 for me anyways.
Again there are different flavors to choose from and it also depends on what you use on your phone. Some bugs may show up days later.

I agree with you. Ive been using sky ics with the new leak and i think it is quite a stable rom in terms of smoothness and speed. Cant wait for the official one to come out!

All these guys are right cause there really is no right or wrong answer to your question. When it comes to custom roms its all about personal preference. What someone else really loves you may find out you don't like. So my advice is become a flashaholic like most of us here are and start flashing until you find that perfect custom rom that fits your needs and wants. Just remember to make a backup of your current rom before you start flashing anything that way you can always go back to what you have now. Oh and just so you will know design gears is about to release a new ics leak for the skyrocket soon according to his twitter account so you may want to wait and see what that is all about and the I'm sure plenty of custom roms will be based off of it soon as well... happy flashing...

It would probably be better to be more specific. A better question would be "which are roms are the most stable" or "which roms are the fastest" or maybe "Which rom has the most features?"
I personally am also trying to decide which rom to go with. I have a friend who owns a Skyrocket and he wants me to root the phone then flash a custom rom, so I'm looking into this. I think I'll probably flash Nexus Mod just because it looks like AOSP. Like many others, it has carrier IQ disabled and has been debloated.

+1 to what everyone else said.
I'm amazed that non of the usuals got on here to flame and say "read one of the other hundred threads like this" or "newb dont post questions in the general section" guess you guys are slipping.

AOKP, the best of the best.

+1 to sky ics for stability (iv flashed the aosp apps patch) it was giving me fc's on other roms but none on this one
nexusmod ics was good but the rom seems to start facing issues after a week of use (might be user error but others were also experiencing this) and also the rom has no further development as MOD has been bricked and has also moved to cm9.
AOKP - great rom that has just surfaced with some solid devs at work still has a few minor issues but this one will become a gem
cm9 - same as above, great dev support but it still has a few minor kinks to be worked out

The above post is right especially about cm and aokp
CM9 Skyrocket

The newish Slim ICS ROM is pretty good too. Gives you some AOSP apps and seems pretty stable and super snappy for me so far. But as others have said, just look at some of the ones with higher traffic and more recent posts and see what you like. Embryo is a nice one i you want a more stock exoerience. Dev is super responsive too. With the new leak and impending (hopefully) official release, they'll all be rebased anyway. TiBu Pro and nandroid are your friends.

Most of us gave up on that because it's an uphill losing battle.

Which ROM you like and which ROM performs better.

I have gone almost through every ROM from ICS to jb on my rocket.
I am no expert in testing but I can say I love the UI on the jb paranoid as well the hibrid touch wizz ROMs.
The sky ICS and the hybrid wizz gave me the best battery life.
Feature wise there are some very appealing the xperiance, job paranoid, the cm9 and cm 10.
The smoothest ROMs we have Majick wzz, vincon jb super lite.
Remember this is only my opinion that I want to share with the forum.
Feel free to submit yours that will help a lot newbob in their search for ROMs.

Something I noticed about CyMod and its forums

Something I wanted to point out - I visited CyanogenMod forums the other day, and they have a dedicated section towards unofficial builds for phones that they don't officially develop for, and one of the posts was Liquid's ICS, and no one seemed to have an issue with it... in fact no one really said much besides that they liked it.
So let me ask you this... all this stuff about people getting upset because Liquid uses CyMod features as a base for features in his releases - don't you think that if anyone up at CM had an issue with it, they'd say explicitly that they have an issue with a dedicated developer making a build for a phone that isn't supported officially by CM?
Just a thought.

The cm team is aware of devs kanging their work to hell and back. By now I'm sure they don't care as often as it happens.

huh? cm is open source. As long as they're credited they're fine with it.

As great as Rootz is, I don't really have much reason to go back there. I had my fun, had some good times, bad times, and well, learned what I could, now I'm just moving on. But lets not get into that.

[Q] SlimBean vs. CM10 SuperLite

I've been using CM10 superlite for a while now, and was thinking of trying slimbean out. From what I read in the thread, they sound pretty similar, so I was wondering if anyone who has tried both wouldn't mind letting me know of the key differences between them, and whether or not the differences are big enough to be worth switching? Thanks!

thanks but I'm not asking which is better, just what the differences are between them.

I bet if you read the first three pages and the last three pages of each thread you would know:thumbup:

Just make a backup, you can always go back

I've tried both, I prefer SlimBean to be honest.
But be sure BOTH are good, It's a personnal preference.
Also both can support CM10 kernel so :good: to both devs to let us many options!

Both are similar and great

Well slim bean is slimmer than Superlite... So if you want as bare bones as possible. I've tried both and I like slim bean more too. Although now I'm on liquid r2.

I would say the more gapps you load and the more you use your phone between both roms it wouldn't matter...either rom is going to give you the same end result basically

Ive tried them both and I believe it depends on your phone. I have a Samsung Infuse 4g. The CM 10 didnt seem to run as smoothly or as fast as SB. Of course, that was before the "stable" version was released the other day. Slim seems to take up a lot less space (memorywise too.) Im pretty happy with the bean (running 2.9)
Basically they are the same. Im no developer so I dont test all the intricacies but I would consider myself above novice level.

[Q] Fastest ROM - Suggestions for a minimalist!

Howdy XDA peoples, I'm not too handy with the search bar and I haven't come across a thread for this yet so...
​>What is the fastest ROM for the Verizon Galaxy SIII? I'm going for minimal amounts of crap, as clean as they come, and as fast as they come.
​>Also, Stock or AOSP, which is faster? I imagine AOSP.
​>I'm not looking for kernel compatibility, which ROM is the fastest, just the ROM alone.
:good:THANKS IN ADVANCE!:good:

I personally find the fastest to be LiquidSmooth.
But no question you can narrow your search down to AOSP ROMs.

What about Pure AOSP? Would that be faster or does liquid smooth actually have performance modifications and tweaks?

It might not be minimal but beans 13 with tk kernel is the best set up I've used. In my opinion I prefer tw over aosp. No lag at all and great battery life

I'm an AOSP guy personally, but I do greatly appreciate your input!

theres an entire original development section here. do some research and find what works best for you and what you need out of a rom.
being fast isnt a valid criteria.
nobody can answer this question except for you. put in a little effort, do some learning/reading, itll serve you well.

Here you go. All your questions answered:

Carbon ROM 3/15 nightly build with KT kernel is FAST no crap bloat apps. I am running ktoonservative/bfg on Carbon ROM 3-15 build. I couldn't believe it last 2 days 0h 38m at 16% left battery and got 3 hrs 24 mins screen. Thanks to [Team Kernelizers][How To][TK Mod 1.0.1] Updated 03-21-13 KT747 Kernel Tweaks

I'm really just looking to see what others experiences have been, I've had my fair share of ROMs on this thing. Not as many stock, as I always felt they were slower, but still, plenty.
I also have done PLENTY of reading, hence the reason why I have never had to make a post before, I find my questions answers in my reading.
So I take offense to your comment ddurand. I'd like personal preference and input, not criticism on my research techniques.

everyones phone works differently. you just need to try things and see what you like and what fits you best.
theres threads all over like this with comparisons. heres another good one besides the one posted above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030478)
asking for peoples personal opinion will net you 10+ different roms to try.
dont take it too seriously, im just trying to help.
its just how it works. you need to flash ROMs to see what works best on your phone.

I think nottas paranoid android is a great candidate. Other than the pie interface and hybrid ui stuff, it's basically AOSP. It's also compiled with linaro. I think the minimal features really help keep it smooth and fast.

Best and Fastest threads usually get closed because they rely on each individual users personal preferences and use.

Couldn't have put that any better, PA is def the fastest ROM I have ever had on my phone. Minimal AOSP compiled with linaro, plus hybrid UI and PIE controls. Can't beat that.
