You will get as many opinions as there are Roms. If you have not already done so, I recommend getting Rom Manager from the Market and creating a backup copy of your rooted, but basically stock phone. From there I have had improved battery life and respectable radio performance using BAMF GingerStripped v2.1 & the latest leaked radio (1.46.00.0704w_2, 0.01.76.0703_2r).
You will find that radio performance is sometimes hit or miss when using the Gingerbread Roms. With that being said, improvements are made on an almost daily basis. I have no complaints with the stability or performance of my phone under the Rom/Radio configuration described above though.
All the links to Chingy51o ROM's will be down in the Tbolt forums. Go to themikmik.com to download. I wouldn't suggest TPS 1.5 though. It's old, based on a froyo leak that no kernels were ever developed for, and there's sereveral that are faster and more developed. Do you want feature-rich and solid as the Rock of Gibraltar, or, do you want a ROM that runs like a raped ape on fire? If you want feature rich and solidly developed, go to TeamBAMF.net and try one of theirs. If you like speed and all the junk pulled out, try themikmik.com and check out Chingy's ROM's. If you're feeling senseless, OMFGB is probably the best AOSP ROM out there. And then there's always CM7, which is starting to look like a finished product. I like Gingeritus3D V1.0 BetaV. V and VI are as fast as any gingerbread ROM I've ever used, if not faster, even with all the extra graphic load and Sense features. And it's reliable.
If batter life is what you crave, Froyo is probably the way to go. In that event, would definitely suggest BAMF. They seem to have the most developed Froyo builds with the best kernels. And they're great guys over there to who are always happy to help.
That question is about as tough as us telling you what's the best car to drive for you.
Not for us...but for you...
As said, best thing you can possibly do is make a backup of stock via clockwork recovery mode.
Do NOT use ROM or Kernal manager to flash Roms or kernals. Use Clockwork.
There are a TON of good ROMs out there...lately, there has been a little bit of an exodus of talented developers...politics are politics. It's too bad.
My advice is any time you go from one ROM to another, wipe data, cache and dalvik.
DroidTh3ory makes a great ROM (running it now)
BAMF makes a great one (Have run them a lot in the past) google search...they are no longer on XDA
Virus (Synergy, airborne) makes a great ROM
Chingy (Gingeritis, liquid ginger, perfect storm) makes a great ROM. Google him as well, no longer here.
Pretty much any of the Developers make two flavors of their ROMs, with Sense and without. 100% personal preference. If you like the eye candy...stay with Sense. Trade off is a little speed an performance and battery life (you may not even notice) vs. a non-sense based ROM.
Without a doubt, the most popular AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM is CM7.
Personally...I like sense. I've tried 2 or 3 non-sense based ROMs...I like candy, what can I say?
Tesla Coil
ROM Suggestion
I tried Perfect Storm v1.5 as well as my first ROM and it was good however I have now moved on to Eaton ROM v1.5.3 and it is flawless!
I've tried a few different ROMs, to include Das BAMF (RC4.9), Ging3r3dTh3ory, Liquid Thunderbread v1.4, as well as Gingeritis v1.2 and Gingeritis 3d v1.0 Beta VI.
I really liked the eye candy that Das BAMF had in his ROMs. It seemed pretty stable, too, but I haven't been able to find a Sense ROM that beats Gingeritis. Either "Gingeritis v1.2 non-3D" or "Gingeritis 3D v1.0 Beta VI", have both been very reliable, and the 3D version is very snappy considering it's 3D and Beta.
I have not tried any other roms other than Th3ory roms and they are awesome , great battery life.
I have been running the ROMs released by Th3ory. I started out with the Sense 3.0 ROM, then moved to a 2.1/3.0 Hybrid. Now I am running his latest CM7/AOSP mashup. It is rock solid for the most part. While I do miss some of the Sense UI elements, the sheer speed and performance, not to mention battery life, with the AOSP ROM is phenomenal.
Also, I do recommend the use of the 627 radio as well with this ROM.
I've tried every rom out there (up until about a week ago or so), and Th3ory Roms are easily the best for me. I value Performance first, Stability second, and debloating third. Every Rom that DroidTh3ory has put out has out performed all other roms for my needs. His latest offering, Pur3A05P, is amazing. I've never had an android experience so smooth, snappy, and stable. Not to mention fully AOSP, so fully debloated.
Also, you should see about flashing the latest radio. It's available at themikmik.com, labeled something like (2.xxx.xxx.xx). A reminder: A radio image is flashed by placing the file, named exactly 'PG05IMG.zip', on the root of your SD card, rebooting into hboot (vol- while booting), and accepting the upgrade. Also, make sure you delete or rename the radio off of your sd card once your done!
hey, i have been running an ics rom for a while. Its been super laggy and i havnt had time to flash a new one. My reason for making this post is to ask whether or not the ics roms are stable and fast, or should i just use cm7 if im looking for a fast rom with great features. thankyou in advance.
There are different builds of ICS, like nightly and AOKP. You just gotta try and the different ones and see which ones you like best. Changing ROMs is all about preferences and what you feel comfortable with.

After using Slim for the past few months, I would not go back to a non-ICS ROM (this ROM will probably influence my choice of the next phone I buy, i.e. I will make sure it's available on that device).
While I agree the SlimICS is very quick and runs fairly smoothly, it does lack in other departments. In order to have a slimmer and smother build they had to cut certain things. The main thing I noticed is not all languages are supported.
SlimICS has been the best experience of the ICS roms, or any rom for me. It's very fast, stable, and feature packed. I've had zero problems through the two different builds I've been using for the last week. I highly recommend it.

Thanks guys. I'm currently running cm7 again. But it sounds like I should definitely try the slim rom.

SlimICS is definitely worth the time investment to get it installed and running. I came from Cognition 4.5.x and my phone is running better than it ever has using any previous ROM I've tried (and I tried a lot of them!). Granted, my IMEI paid the ultimate price for using all those different ROMs (EFS folder wiped/corrupted), but I'll have that sorted out soon enough with any luck.
Can't say enough about Slim though, granted I didn't care for the Lightening launcher that's included. I am using the standard ICS launcher, which works fine and is plenty fast for me.
SlimICS or Nostalgia (SlimICS based) - runs faster than S3.
But I'm rooting my S3. So boajuicing comes...
Give AOKP a shot. I'm running it and love it.
Sent from my SGH-I897
I find that the CM9 ROM I use isn't always the fastest but the features pretty much balance it out when compared with Gingerbread.
ICS is fast and sleek, but I'll choose GB KK4 for the meantime until they fix the unsuccessful encryption bug on ICS. Still waiting though :silly:
I've never liked GB but then again, I didn't give it that much of a chance. I was extremely satisfied with di11igaf's Rom [2.2.1] on my Captivate, flashed to stock GB, then flashed immediately back.
Currently running TiramiSlim RC 2.0 [Based on SlimICS 3.9] after being somewhat of a crazy flash-aholic as far as ICS Roms are concerned. It is super-fast & extremely smooth.

I haven't rooted my phone yet, but i've been following the cm10 forums and it seems its still pretty buggy right now. I haven't seen much about the tw roms like synergy or beans. Which would you guys prefer and recommend for the most stable and best performance tw rom.

also interested. i havent flashed roms in a while but i like soem of the touchwiz features.
CM10 wont have motion control support, right?
No, CM10 does not have Motion Control support right now, though the Alpha build for CM10 works well, I wasn't pleased with the battery life. So, I'm about to ty CleanROM. Synergy wasn't for me, but it is a solid ROM. For 4.1 and Motion support, best bet is to wait for Samsung to release 4.1 for the GSIII, eventually somebody will root it, and that should include motion support.
I prefer Synergy, its always been great for me, and i get amazing battery life with it. I haven't tried beans so i can't comment on his, but it really boils down to personal preference. Some will say synergy and some will say beans.
Does synergy have any big bugs that someone would not flash because of it? And how is the data reception, i haven't been getting that good of reception even with stock.

The latest nightly appears to have everything worked out and data reception for me has been great.
Personally, I use SynergyROM (currently nightly R50).
I have yet to encounter any significant bugs. The Samsung Motion controls seem a bit off, but I'm not sure if that's how stock is or if it's just the ROM.
As for your questions about reception, SynergyROM has increased WiFi and Data transmit power. It supposedly means faster speeds, which I assume is achieved through a stronger connection?
Running Scott's CleanRom and it runs great. I see new version 2.0 is out now.
Cleanrom IS the only ROM I haven't tried as it wasn't out yet, but of all the others I kept returning to root66 as everything Single thing works perfectly, it is the fastest set-up I have ever used on ANY phone and battery life is as good as any other ROM (regardless of some of the ludicrous claims posters make for battery life)
Bean 8 with imosyeons LeanKernel 2.2 > Root66>Synergy 1.7...have not tried clean rom.
I've seen no bugs so far in the latest Synergy nightly (r50). Synergy has been my daily driver for a while now and is very stable with excellent support from the developer. Highly recommend.
CleanROM 2.0 just came out today and from the description sounds great. However, several of the bloatware apps appeared after installation (VZ Navigator, Color, etc) even though I de-selected them in the installer. I'm trying to get my post count to 10 so I can let the dev know in his own thread.
Seems people are saying different ones are the best. Still not sure so i'll probably look more into each one.
They didnt appear in mines

The NoSympathy ROM is pretty dang awesome. Pretty much just root, deodexed, and zip-aligned. I ran it with lean kernel and it was very happy with performance. I honestly think it is a great combination of performance and stock TW.

Is the "VRALF2 vs G1" referring to the kernel, the ROM, or the radio/modem. I get so confused with all the conflicting terminology on these forums.

All of the above, in each context. F2 and G1 are two different builds (official ones from Samsung), which each have their own kernel, system base, and radios. You wouldn't mix and match kernels with system bases, but radios are interchangeable. I recommend the latest G1 radio, for the record.
Most TW ROMs get built off the latest base (and get ported over to new bases when they are released), because they tend to add bug fixes. You should know which build your ROM is based off, because in some cases third-party kernels can be compatible with one base and not another. Read carefully.
I am sorry if this is stupid noob question, but why we don't have many custom roms since that our device's sharing same exynos 4210 hardware, like Samsung galaxy SII?
I own SII for myself and there is every day something new in development thread, and here nothing
My P 6200 is crying for fix WiFi problem and some great custom rom :crying:

I have been using Android since it was released and have collected various devices. This is just me, there is nothing better than stock rooted and tweaked rom. Just debloat the rom and you will be ok. My P6210 is amazingly fast with NO error or any single issues. I got both apple and Samsung products and my P3113 and my P6210 are my main tab. It is a must for me to go stock rooted and tweaked. Just me.
Cheers
I always asked myself the ssame question too... but it turns out we dont hhave so many devs here and this device wasn't a hit like the S series from samsung. Making custom roms isn't so hard but it needs alot of learning if ur a biggener. I tried making custom roms myself but what else do u need from a custom rom if you already have CM9, cm10, paranoid android and soon to be AOKP? But who knows we might see new stuff I mean I bought this tab before there was even a functional cm9 build and I was thinking of selling it. But it pulled through aand I must say his device is rock solid we just need to nail the wifi issue.

I had wifi problems as well on stock ics (UK version).
It all disappeared when I flashed the US version, give it a try...
This said, cm, aokp and stuff are nice but not stable enough for my taste yet, I don't like bugs (I am not a very patient character) and for me so far there's nothing like a good home tweaked, rooted and deodexed stock ics rom.
When cm10 is completely stable then I will eagerly flash it, I check xda every day waiting for that day to come

I have actually did a lot of things with the ICS stock rooted but never have wifi issues. Anywhere I go with wifi access, I never have problems or any issues. Would it be router related? With my P3113, its fine but with my YP-G70, there was. I have to install another stock rom to solve it. Otherwise, everything works fine with me. These products are actually very nice IMHO. I'm just waiting for the JB update for my P6210 and P3113, if there will be.
Early in ANdroid the stock ROMs were often terrible and there was a lot of room to make easy improvements. Now the stock ROMs are really quite good and there is not much that can be improved on easily. IF you like a different style you have the CM based ROMs with some UI differences but not much in the way of performance improvements and you lose stability and some hardware features like IR Remote. Even with the Nexus, by the time some individual developer takes the time to customize a ROM, Google has new features out in the stock ROM so its just not worth it to build from scratch.
SO called debloating is mostly a placebo because the new devices like this tab have lots of memory and apps you don;t use aren't doing anything or taking resources.
Curious to know if you have found anything unique and useful in SII development. TO me it seems like all retreads of repackaged stock or CM based stuff with a few different apps from samsung or sony thrown in for good measure.

Stock rom is full with unneeded application.
Custom rom bring more speed and space.
I'm currently running custom rom based on JB leak on my Samsung SII, which is full with super functions from S3 and Note 2. Above all that rom is great for daily use For me that is enough
Hi Guys,
Been running a pretty unstable JB ROM for a while. Need something that is very stable and won't act up. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

From my experience as a user only, not a developer:
Gingerbread is going to be arguably the most stable, although I would run into strange issues with the keyboard disappearing and nonsense like that. It's not actively developed currently since everyone is into JB ROMs at the moment so there's that. It's also not as aesthetically pleasing as JellyBean in my opinion.
- r.e.v.e.n.a.n.t - Most current GB ROM. Desirable over other GB ROMs because it's inclusion of the Synthesis Kernel by Zen Arcade which fixes a few notable GB bugs like Wifi drain.
- I got tired of the look and feel of this ROM pretty quick and decided to flash an old GB ROM (You can find a list here and there's a post somewhere with better organization) and manually flash the Synthesis kernel which is pretty straightforward.
If you want to stick with JB, they all have similar issues. It really depends on what matters to you.
- Unofficial CM10.2 is fairly stable in my experience. Issues I've had with it always seem to go back to improper flash with Odin or just that my power button is on it's way out.
- SlimBean - I can't speak to the day to day stability as I've just flashed it last night, but I may like this one the best out of the currently available ROMs for our Infuse. The resolution is what does it for me, so much detail. It's also hasn't been updated to 4.3 yet, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
- AvatarROM - Never tried this one, but the sell seems to be good battery life on a JB ROM. I can't get passed the MIUI look myself.
Stability is up to the users usage and needs. As these threads become discussion over which one is better, they are summarily closed.
Please make your determination based on trial runs. Thanks
