Check each rom's and kernel's thread and read all the info that dev has. For roms there are screen shots look at them. See what kind of tweaks and hecks it has. And decide what looks/theme and feature you like and based on your choice select the rom that fits you best. This is because No one knows you and everyone has different opinion. So check every rom/kernel ur self!

alright thanks.
I havent messed with any kernels. But for roms i would suggest sky ice cream sandwich or nexus. I was running sky ice cream sandwich but just switched to nexus.
Using sky ice cream sandwich its the beast using it since last 6 weeks. Trying faux kernel pretty quick though even stock kernel of sky ice cream is good.

Sky ICS has been my favorite with stock kernel
IMHO root, CWM backup, then cleanup and tweak stock while you wait for an ICS rom.
skyrocketeer was my first custom ROM and i love the look/feel/stability of it. very ICS-like. but it seems as if the dev has discontinued support so... i'm thinking of trying sky icecream sandwich..
just using a stock-ish, non-OC'd, BLN-modded kernel for now til all the kinks of OC/UV get worked out from others i've seen..
ICS "Themed" ROM is just that a theme.
I hope to see a real ICS ROM soon but until then I can not say I read that any ROM has have no problems.
Cyanogen --- FTW
Cyanogen is king!!!! I have it on my phone right now, and even thought it's
touted as an "Alpha". It's been stable enough for daily usage!
Quickwiz with faux's kernel is insanely fast , stable and smooth. Benchmark scores are also pretty high

same here ..Nexus batt life seems to be better so far IMO . 3rd day on rom )
I wouls suggest sky icecream rom, it's super stable and seanz is great about getting updates out, almost nightly.
I don't mind sharing my experiences. I've tried AOKP milestone 6, CM10 stable, PACman v18 AIO, and I'm Bout to try slimbean. Never flashed any custom kernels or radios (just ROMs and their baked in goodies). As far as AOKP goes, probably my favorite setup, UI, and functionality, but the damn thing lost mobile data after 24 hours and I had to restore a CM backup to get data back. As far as CM10 goes I love it a lot, in fact its worked the best, and my only complaint is the CRT off animation only working every 6th time (unless WiFi is on). Otherwise its been the most reliable and the most persistent on my phone. Lastly pacman v18 was pretty cool, like the integration of the different ROMs, but sometimes settings seemed to clash, and finding some settings were difficult (multiple ROM control menus) but it worked really well. Only problem I had was installing tweak box to get my CRT. That caused a never ending boot ani. Back to CM10 it was lol. Would love to hear some stories on kernels and radios, those intimidate me more than flashing ROMs. Oh BTW using twrp2 for recovery

Why?
Read the rules of the forum. What's best for me may not be best for you. All the roms you find here are good. But some have a better feel our look to me but may not to you.
Try them and find the one you like best.

Ok so where do we specifically discuss our experiences for the ROMs, in each of their OP's? I'm not saying I don't want to, I'm new and I just wish to show the dude abides...
Love the community, love the ROMs, and I LOVE you devs!
Gonna read over the tutorials on ROM creation, see if I can't jump on board with this awesome community! Ive never done any development but I know I'll love it.

ROM: CvD-Nibbles
Radio: UCLK4
Kernel: LZap (latest)
PM me for collaboration on a legit fix for the CRT Off Animation(jb cm/aokp ROMs), I'm tired of only seeing it 1/10 times I lock the screen. (Or if I have missed it please point me to it) much love!
I swear people don't know the rules.. No best threads!! Good lord. This should be locked soon enough. If you want to discuss your specific ROM/Kernel/Mod of choice go to their respective threads and post in there.
I was wondering what the best kk4 modem is? I am running legend blue 3.4 with all their stuff just wondering if there is a better one

It depends on your location. You need to do some testing to see which one works best for you, or see what other people in your area use http://soggycashew.weebly.com/modem-location-map.html
Thread closedq
Please refer to the link above. Different modems work better for different areas/ROMs, etc.
First off, this is not "which is the best", this is "which is your favorite". People have their allegiances, I get it, but for those who are new or who want to try a different ROM, a thread here in the Blaze forums would be useful! I also understand there are other threads like this elsewhere in xda, but I want this to be Blaze exclusive!
Ok, so which ROM is your favorite and why? Be descriptive, let our community know!
And most important, this is not a knock on any dev. All you guys do amazing work and without you, we're not here!

My favorite ROM is Thomas.raines ParanoidAndroid! Second ROM I've ever flashed on this Blaze. I love all the features it has from looking like a Phablet to having a tablet UI! One day, I hope it would have the Halo notifications! But of course. We will have to wait for that CM10.1 everyone is waiting for!
Paranoid Android by TR is definitely a favourite. Ran it for a while, but needed stability for work so I went back to CM10 + BlueLightning kernel.
ParanoidAndroid was my second ROM as well and love it. Still love it. If only it had all the sound mods that LiquidSmooth has! The ability to change UI is awesome, the split screen settings menu, and the LZ kernel baked right in are major highlights! Recommend PA to anyone on this forum!

Started on Beastmode's slim bean, have currently been running all the latest Cm10 nightlies. With BlueLightning X2 kernel. Still switch back to slim for a change. Super stable and great battery life on both, can't go wrong.
Props to Racing for AOKP too, along with BlueLightning.
Bugless Beast back in the day on Droid 1! I guess because that was my first Android phone I rooted and the best ROM of the tons I tried!
Not the first time I 'rooted' 'jailbroke' or otherwise gained #su but I LOVED installing new homebrew applications on my PSP handheld gaming system too!
My next favorite ROM? The one developed by someone not trying to sell it to the attention if a kid. Seriously I can't talk professionally about this kind of stuff if I tell my co-worker I'm rooted running CandyCane Super Sweet K.K. for KUSTOM KERNEL on a modified JellyBean android custom ROM called Orange Sherbert Swirl and the amazing Technicolor Steamboat.
Yeah I made all that up just to get my point across! I felt it was necessary lol.

CM4Life plus all the inverted apps I can find from TeamBlackedOut.
Cm and tweaked. Used lz kernel.
Cm is just badass. Abd tweaked ifs the only stock Rom that kicks ass...
Oh and [email protected] of whatever...what a joke.
Thanks again guys for awesome roms!

Racing's AOKP. Smooth & stable, no crazy bells & whistles. I like the ROM Control settings. Not interested in split screen phablet stuff, the screen's not big enough for that. Only issus is CPU clock & governor settings not sticking after reboot, but I don't need to reboot that often.

Racings AOKP-NOS injector-Racings Blue lightning X2 Kernel-AC!D Engine V5. I run underclocked at 1.296 most of the time unless i need the extra power. The combo is extremely smooth and stable. Never had a reboot, absolutely no lag, great gaming performance(oc'd GPU included with X2 helps), my average daily battery life is 12-13 hours with 4-4.5 hours screen on time, and almost all settings work as they should besides the built in cpu clock changer which works but doesn't stick after reboot. What more can you ask for?
Edit
Use kernel tuner for changing CPU clocks and governer as well as other great settings.
Edit again...
Forgot to mention I force 2G and disable data 75% of the time because most places I go have WiFi and the area I live in has "light green" coverage meaning there's ****ty 4G signal...Weak Signal=Bad Battery Life. Forcing 2G and disabling data improves battery life noticeably.
By force 2g you mean 'GSM Only' right?

Yes, I use a toggle to enable/disable whenever, instead of going through settings. AOKP has a bunch of customizable toggles within the ROM. Good stuff.
The only reason I have been on stock ICS is because instagram was having issues with jb. Or else I would be on a cm variant

I have. While in the option to select your filter the image disappears. Switching filters will bring it back, but only for a second. Workable, but annoying.
My issue was the app crashing when refreshing news feed. You can solve that problem by disabling something under developers settings. Sorry haven't been on jb in a while I can't recall what its called but you will see it. Its an option that is checked by default near the bottom of the page under developer settings

Here's my battery life so far, with aokp and nos injector. Nos is great especially the newer builds. Nos is now called project direct inject, get it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
Hey, so i have a question for all of you veterans on here. Im mildly experimental, so i just do the basic flash a rom here and there deal. However, im running hyperdrive rls14 with stock kernel on my Verizon s3. Since it gives me options to have beats audio, aosp email and clocks as well as other great features like the touchwiz motion controls, I've been running it for a few months now.But ive realized its heavy on my battery life, and my phone has been getting hot more often than before. I felt like that partially due to the amount of ram it takes up. So does anyone have any good suggestions as to what i run? Because ive heard things such as pure stock is boring and want to make a good decision.
Try bonestock v3.3 or clean Rom.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda premium
I won't suggest a rom as you can very well have a different experience then me. I am going to suggest some custom kernels and apps to improve your experience on any Touchwiz rom.
Kernels:Kt747, leankernel, and Zeus.
Apps: DS Battery Saver, Carat, Greenify, Wakelock Detector and Kill Media Server.
When I ran Zeus may have wrongly accused it for something some settings did on my phone. But i couldnt figure out how out how to access governors
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well Zeus already have defaulted settings so there is no need to mess with it.
That is the second time bonestock has been mentioned to me today... How's that compare to touchwiz rims.. Any cool features or is it just smoother

I have fallen in love with paranoidandroid from notta. I prefer notta's build because it has the kill app button so I never really gave ayysirr's build much thought.
Download ktoonz kernel regardless of the rom you choose, imo.
I used to use pacman but something happened and I switched, don't know why, and I never ended up going back
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Try it out. Bonestock is a stock Rom if you want it to be or you can mix it up with the aroma tweaks. Apparently you don't flash much at all. Anyone that has to ask has never took time to read the initial post of the thread.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda premium
Take some time out to read the op of these roms to see which you would like. Make a backup and start flashing away. Just because someone tells you a rom is good doesn't mean you'll have that same experience.
Hi all.
Is there a forum consensus on what the best Jellybean ROM ever produced was? I remember using Jellyshot back in the day with Marmite kernel.
I am just sick of KitKat it runs like a dog.
I would prefer as stock as possible but with volume wake and voodoo sound mod.
Thanks.

Nope.. Everyone likes different things..
I have a chart floating around that may help??..
I also have some old files on my computer for modding things you may like..

It's tough, since all recommended ROMs seem to be dead, according to my research.
- Carbon: doesn't support crespo anymore.
- Pixel ROM (first place at Setting.Out's chart - unless I got the wrong chart): discontinued
- Helly Bean: apparently discontinued. Can't find a download link.
I tried C10 and 11 and both battery life and performance (my main - and almost only - concerns) have been miserable.
There seem to be some new ROMs, but not much info about them. Right now I too don't know which one to use.
Give me some time and I'll upload a folder of ROMs I have, so you can try them..
Sent from my A001 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah its a shame about the lack of development for the Nexus S but I don't blame them. Nothing last for ever and the devs want to move onto bigger and better devices.
I am currently trying the latest CM 11 nightly and its pretty good! I think I am going to stick with CM11 and see where it goes. Battery life is not as good as other ROM's and I also miss the dpi of Slimkat, but I suppose I could try a custom launcher if I want to change that in the future.
So CM11 all the way! (for now )
By reading Setting.Out's posts in many different threads and realizing how many hours he may have dedicated to this device, I concluded that following his steps would be the most sensible thing to do atm. Therefore I'm now trying CyanAOSP (straight from his signature) with his amazingly light Gapps package, and for me it's working way better than the CMs I tried before. Will search a bit more for possible improvements in kernel, governor and most likely Greenify, but I think I'll be ok with CyanAOSP.
As promised
-here- is a link to all the files I had left on my computer.. they are still uploading (+/- 17gb)
HAPPY FLASHING
Strawberry / Metal Dragon Overlord by knzo is the best jellybean rom.
