It is no different than the numerous GB/CM based ROMs. Who cares?

I think that He ( OP ) won't be happy until they say Beta.. its alpha for a reason. so many bugs much more than beta. just sit happy with GB and give it time. I rushed it and lost the ability for Google Wallet, nothing can fix what went wrong with my phone.

these people couldn't be taking part in a hobby for them, could they be just trying to learn the ins and outs of android, heck they couldn't even be kids learning to code and all are getting excited to show off what they complied.
Last time I checked you were not required to flash every rom in the Dev section. So lets take a step back I don't like miui nothing wrong with it but should I be complied to start a thread asking why we have topics about when I don't care for it.

You said it....
Chill out. We have to get AOSP working bug-free in the first place, then they'll start looking different. Even CM9 doesnt have any CMsettings or anything special. We're sorry that something that we're beating Google at (ICS release for NS) currently is not to your standards.
In due time.....in due time.
I see where the OP is coming from, but I disagree. The fact that the devs work hard to bring the OS to our devices is pretty appreciated. They pretty much do Google's work for free by modifying the code.

lol im not mad that they are all buggy, im mad that people are "deving" with a buggy base and just adding to it. why not be a little patient, if you cant create it/build it from source, wait til the base you will be using to 7zip and copypaste into your rom becomes stable. dont use an alpha build to promote your name

I don't think you quite understand how it works currently. There is no buggy base. They're attempting to adapt AOSP source code to compile and execute correctly on the Nexus S. This is way more complicated than you think. Almost all "bugs" you see are byproducts of tinkering with configurations, compile-ations, etc, in an attempt to get it working properly.
To put things in perspective, ICS development for the Nexus S is light years ahead of all other devices. For that reason alone, we should be grateful. Others are still struggling to either boot, or get somewhere AFTER boot.
If you don't like the way it's done, then wait for the official ROM. You have a choice, after all.

yes, two roms are getting built from the source on xda; kwiboo and koush. then all the others.
both kwiboo and koush thread is full of bug reports of people using a different rom like brainmaster, ultimate ics, kangorama ics, etc.
all this does is add confusion from the rom chef adding things to the original rom developers work
what im suggesting/ranting is that if a rom chefs should be a little more patient in making more spinoff roms that don't really add much besides to confusion for noob users
Your argument makes a LOT more sense now. I agree, if people are posting bugs in Koush/Kwiboo sections when running brainmaster or other tweaked versions, then that's bad.
Your original argument didn't really point this out.
Not much can be done about that, aside from aggressive moderation. Tweakers will be tweakers.

Most of the bugs posted are not even valid. One in particular is known issue even on the GNexus.
The biggest issue I see is code optimization at this point.
One thing I think no one has mentioned is ICS may never be super fast on the NS. I will be much faster on dual core hardware

This is one thing that has been bothering me as well. Every single one of these ROMs are not truly as smooth as Gingerbread. In no way do they even reach the fluidity found in Gingerbread ROMS. The hardware acceleration helps, but even then you can still feel the difference between the two Android releases. I have yet to hear a proper explanation as to why this is happening and I was hoping that the fix for this would be Google releasing the official Ice Cream Sandwich update.
Is it is code optimization as you say? Or is there more to it than that? I want to believe that hardware doesn't play a significant role here.

Strange, I've found that Koush's latest (CM9 Alpha 11) is plenty fast, not significantly slower than GB. Definitely Kwiboo v2 was slow as molasses, but then again it came out days ago (a long time when it comes to how fast things are moving). BM v5 is pretty fast but buggy. Also, it seems that adding franco kernel to any of these also speeds things up significantly, but I haven't tried it with CM9 Alpha 11 yet.

I found kwiboo's to be a lot more stable than koush's. although koush's had more functionality.. my bluetooth didnt work, and i got many errors.
Understand that we are using old binaries. ICS will run just as good as gingerbread, if not, better. These will make a world of difference

I'd kind of disagree with this. In its current early state here on the NS, I've gotten it running butter smooth and highly responsive, on a 1.1 OC/UV kernel. This is WITHOUT tweaks to filesystem, etc. If certain apps would just display properly when GPU Rendering is turned on, and some battery stuff worked out, I'd be 100% content.
Now granted, I've seen it running on the SGS2 and Galaxy Nexus and they're clearly speedier, but in my experience, my apps run just as fast as they did in GB.
On a side note....wanna see slow? It's been ported to the T-Mobile G1! HA! The first, original android phone!
I agree. there was actually a recent article on android police about this. There is no problem with people making their own roms but don't clog up the development section with "roms" that really all they do is bundle some easily downloadable market apps and some wallpapers and call it a new rom.
What the SGS2 xda forum actually did was split the dev section into 2 . One for original dev work and one for spin offs.
I've had my Nexus One for 2 years now and have had a few different ROMs on it. I've been pretty loyal to Cyanogen and used Kangarama for a while which was a Cyanogen base. Currently I'm using CM 7.1 with Intersectraven's kernel and it is fast and smooth. The only thing is, I've grown bored of CM lately.
My wife has a Samsung Vibrant and I've taken her from Simply Honey to CM 7 to ICS Passion and now to MIUI. Each ROM was drastically different than the one before. She loves MIUI now and told me she wants to keep that one for a long time. I messed with it for a while and have to admit that it is pretty cool.
I started thinking: should I go to CM nightlies for a change or should I use MIUI? I have some hangups about MIUI though. I figured yous guys are the ones to ask about this. Is MIUI as customizable as CM 7? Is it as fast? Are the CM 7 nightlies currently stable enough for use as a daily driver? My knowledge of Android is strong enough that I've used nightlies before and understand that there are bugs but is the currently a build where pretty much everything works? Do the nightlies currently have many more new faetures than CM 7.1 or are they a lot the same?
I don't normally ask questions like this but today I figured what the hell? I would just flash and try them out but I use DarkTremor's A2SD and I've never had luck with a new ROM unless I do a Titanium backup, backup my SD to my computer, wipe and repartition my SD card, copy the data back to my FAT partition, flash, reinstall A2SD, then restore from Titanium. That makes the process take a couple of hours for me.
Any info/opinions on the subject would be appreciated and thanx in advance.
For me, nightlies never were an option and will most likely never be. Weeklies at least.
I used to have MIUI.us and it was ok. Fast and everything, but I soon got to realize that MIUI wasn't for me. Too "flashy". I use samuaz's CM7.2 build with IntersectRaven's kernel and it's fast and stable and all that. A little bored with CM7 now but the only reason I use it is while waiting for a stable ICS/CM9 build.

I'll look into that build. Thanx for the fast response.
I'm not pumped for an ICS build until they get the kernel needed for full hardware acceleration. When I put ICS Passion on my wife's Vibrant, it ran well with few FC's but it didn't have full hardware acceleration either and it was pretty darned slow compared to other ROMs I've put on there. That is why I ended up putting MIUI on her phone. She couldn't stand the slowness.

I too will put ICS on hold until it's got all I want in it.
MIUI is very highly "theme-able", though, considering you can mix and match themes as you wish. Let's say you wish to have an ICS lockscreen theme and a completely different SMS theme while having a third dialer theme. No problemo there.

Here's his topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416894
But you'll have to put up with downloading it from depositfiles, though ^^
If your using CM7, there is no need to switch to nightlies. There were only a handful released after 7.1 stable was released. If there were any changes, they were minor.
I have tried MIUI, and while it is nice, it isn't for me. While the scrolling between screens is always butter smooth, the menu system often lags, and since it is chinese developed, there are a few things which are in chineese (theme names pulled from the web), and some things don't work to well (like the lyrics and album art function of the music app). I would occasionally get freezes and FC's.
MIUI is a very nice polished ROM with a lot of nice bells ans whistles that make it look really stunning, but it just doesn't seem to always play nice with the android framework.
I too am bored of CM7, and am like everyone else waiting for a decent ICS build. I tried texasice and it works fantastic for the amount of time that has been put into it, but it's not quite up to daily driver status.
If you are interested in trying different ROM's to see which you should use mainly, I highly suggest Boot Manager. It lets you boot different ROM's from your sdcard, so your main ROM is untouched. It doesn't work with ICS yet, but it is an excellent app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager&hl=en
It's suggested you use at least a class 6 sdcard, but I have had few problems with my class 4.
hi guys
I'm finding it very confusing to figure out some stuff about the ICS ROMs. Unfortunately I don't have as much time as when I first started flashing to read *everything* about every ICS ROM. Specially since some of them don't mention the fact that they're actually ICS-based in the title for their development thread. I've also found some GB ROMs that use an ICS theme, so they place the ICS acronym in the thread title. Very confusing.
So I have 3 very concrete questions:
1. As with GB ROMS, are there MTP-based (i.e. Samsung ROM based) ROMS and AOSP-based ROMS (like CM)?
2. If yes. Can you mention one or 2 of each? If they're all AOSP, then ignore this here dumb question.
3. This is harder, but I'd like to know just in general, which ROMs seem to be among the favorites?
Thanks a lot guys, happy flashing.
Fairly new myself...
I think most of them are AOSP Roms - could be wrong though.
I have only tried two:
teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Galaxy S: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593
Team ICSSGS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
Personally, although I came from CM7 so I tried CM9 first. Moved to Team ICSGS pretty quickly though and found it to be awesome. I do miss some of the customisations you can do with CM Roms but I have found Team ICSSGS to be faster & more stable for my uses. I did try CM9 for a second time the other day as I had tried build 15 and they had build 16 but I still prefer Team ICSSGS so spent about an hour on CM9 and then switched back. CM9 just seemed way more laggy & I had a couple reboots & minor issues which I've never had on Team ICSSGS. (I don't overclock or anything...)
I'm also running the Semaphore 0.9.1 Kernel with the Team ICSSGS Rom which is awesome.
Semaphore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
Not sure if that is what you want but those are the two I have tested.
There are also a lot of people that seem to like code name android & slim ics but can't recommend as I haven't tried them.
Hi, I too have tested CM9 teamhacksung's ICS with its build 15 and 16, before I had used CM7, now switched to Dark Knights ICS 4.0.4 just two days ago, it is ported from Galaxy Nexus and stable, everything working flawlessly, read through the opinions in its thread, I definitely recommend that rom.

Thanks, guys
This gives me a starting point to start reading.
I was wary of the CM version as it seems they focus too much on speed and sticking as close to aosp as possible, which is fine, but not at the expense of stability.
I think I'll start looking at the Dark Knight release.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
1st tried ICSSGS 4.2 which was excellent, very stable and no crashes, everything that I did juist worked, with the Semaphore kernel, it was very slick and fast as-well.
Just flashed Dark Knight 3 literally an hour a go, so cant give any report on that but so far so good, its very fast as-well.
Both are AOSP.
I flip flopped between hacksungs and ICSSGS, and stuck with ICSSGS. With 4.2 and Semaphore 0.9.1, phone runs like a dream. And everyday usage, for work, games, personal...it's amazing.
But...I get bored to easily, so I might try Dark Knight....
I flashed my first and only ICS rom last week - doc's master ICS V5 and have to say It's very fast and super smooth. I'm now using semaphore 1.9.1 and seems even better now too.
Switched from teamhacksung to Open Kang Project just yesterday.
You cant go wrong with both.
I really like the customization on Kang.
Will try Dark Knight and ICSSGS for sure in the near future.
I use ICSSGS 4.2 with Semaphore 0.9.0 kernel.
No FC's, no reboots, very fast.
I play Asphalt 6HD, PES12, Real Racing 2, Fifa12, NFS: Hot Pursuit, NOVA 2, DeepSpace without lag.
All other stuff work too. No WiFi problem, no Bluetooth problem... just perfect...
I definitely recommend that rom.
BTW. Team ICSSGS waiting now for AOSP 4.0.4. (4.0.3 mission completed, all works fine)
I eventually tried Dark knight. All I can say is WOW.
It has a few very minor bugs, but it's usable as hell, super fast (a bit snappier than CM7.1, in fact).
I had to flash it three times before the phone finally booted up correctly, and I restored my apps with no data (except a couple of them for which I need the data and have no backup mechanism of their own).
But...wow. Also, ICS looks really nice, it feels so much more polished.
At work they gave me an iPhone....it feels so simplistic and stale and boring. Only thing the iPhone 4S has it going for it is the damn screen which is gorgeous. And, obviously, it's faster than my trusty ol' SGS. But hell, ICS closed the gap in terms of polish and responsiveness with iOS. In terms of flexibility and usability, iOS was already behind.
I'm a happy camper.
AOKP build23 beta2.1 with the Party pack from GoyalBhuvan, which i really like it after Aokp milestone 4 from Open Kang Project is the best...! Without dudes Kang Project is rocking with the customization.
1) There are AOSP ICS roms and there are ports of Galaxy S2 Samsung ICS roms
2) Examples of AOSP based roms: CM9, teamicgs, AOKP
Examples of Samsung based roms: The apha ports of the Galaxy S2 rom
3) Currently, most people use cm9 or AOKP. While AOKP has more features and better hardware acceleration, I find cm9 to be more stable and less prone to force closes and reboots.
I just got my broken charger replaced so I haven't really been following development. Which ICS rom is best developed and gives the best performance and experience?
As far as I understand it, there is just one at the moment. This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370873
What can be confusing is that as it's still alpha, you don't see official Cyanogen nightlies for this development effort yet. However several wonderful individuals have stepped forward to fill this need for the interim.
The other choice is if you wish to have opengl rendering turned on or not.
Soon, I'm sure you'll have four choices as 3.x kernel development is going on as well, so you'll eventually need to choose between the 2.x kernel with or without opengl and 3.x kernel with or without opengl.
What fun! But all of them are excellent.
I've used the builds from here (both opengl and not) and have been quite happy.

It's a bit buggy, but so is CM9, but maybe just a bit less. I did get Hulu to play a "House" episode, Netflix is a no go. When and if the new kernel comes out then we will likely see some performance increases to CM9 based builds.
To be on topic, I'd reluctantly recommend CM7 for the best overall Nook build, even though CM9 is very functional and fun. The Nook is not my only tablet and I use it for light reading and hardcore experimenting (I am head test monkey for my dev friends of higher aptitude, lol) I always want to be on the cutting edge, however performance and options can suffer. This tablet has been a blast as well as a fantastic learning tool for me, but as a daily runner, not so much anymore.

I second that! Cm7 is by far the most stable ROM on the nook color. Also, I have gotten used to having my "back" button on the bottom right corner that I'm not running CM9 until they can change that.
Do you use the same cm9 rom for bootable sd card as you would to flash?
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
As a general rule yes... the "recovery mode" script on Verygreen's sd install will modify the way the installer script works to install correctly...
there is an exception:
Racks' tripple boot sd has to have the files modified prior to placing on SD... so it knows which to install as primary and alternate.

For me, since I dont spend so much time on games anymore, I made CM9 as my daily system. For sure it lags a bit at speed, in comparison to CM7, but other than that is perfectly fine.
i tried the AOKP version listed earlier and i agree its nicer and smoother than the CM9 thats going right now but i have noticed with both its less responsive than my CM7..
anyone else having this issue or is it just because its a working progress?

snag build 40 from goo app off the store flash that...
krylon360 did some amazing work on it its fast ...
I have tried all the CM7 from the SD Card and now from the eMMC and although I love how they run, I'm very please and happy how my Nook is running with Samiam CM9 build from eMMC. I have tried eyeballer and krylon360 builds yet for some reason they both make my Nook freeze at times while with the Samiam build I don't have that problem. I have change the launcher to ADW Ex since the Trebuchet launcher do uses more RAM than ADW. I play many games, browse the internet and just about everything. I know that there's some features that are still not working but they are not so essentials for me anyway. I don't use Netflix, the Youtube HD work sometimes and sometimes it doesn't (can't explain how or why since there are reports that HD doesn't work on CM9 yet) but I can deal with that. Again, overall I'm sticking with CM9, hoping that sooner or later the will come with an official build. Thanks for all the hard work that everyone here does.
I have found krylon360's AOKP port for the Nook Color to be more responsive and smoother than the CM9 nightly builds. Being used to using AOKP on the Galaxy Nexus, it's nice to see those power features available on the Nook as well.
Definitely looking forward to krylon360's next AOKP release! :good:

I'll give this a try tonight.
I've been happily running CM 7.1 for a long time, waiting for the ICS release. Got tired of waiting and installed a CM9 nightly a couple days ago. It was sluggish and many freezes resulted; not ready for prime time yet.
I'm thinking about getting this ROM. It's kind of overwhelming considering there seem to be SOO many JB Roms. But are there any that work 100%? They don't outright say in the OPs what works/doesn't work.
100% of what? jb is still evolving, as there is now a second edition/version of jellybean.
my oinion: If you want a good reliable jb rom, then try cm10.0 stable. it is android 4.1.2 and totally good for day to day use.
If you want the later, jb 4.2.1, you can try cm10.1 monthly or nightly build. it is mostly stable.
Well, the AOSP one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013285) is considered the purest JB, but I don't think you'll get any dev to claim that his or her ROM is 100% working. It's intrinsic to the development of ROMs. Developer creates a ROM, tests it as best he can, posts it, users find issues, developer(s) fix issues, test again, post again etc. etc. It is really advisable to read around in the respective threads to see which issues have been found and delt with. I think that all current JB ROMs will cover basic functionality an average user would want, together with a zillion tweaks to stretch the hardware to the limit, be it good battery life, 3d gaming and other features devs and users come up with.
so I say: read around and try some of the different flavours, stick with the one that you prefer..
Works great.

It is as Perfect as stable, Get CM10.1 Nightly 20130208 with gapps 121212, And really Its awesome..
So far Sephi's ROM is the one I keep going back to. I was on Aosp by Ace of spades but that project is no longer being updated. It still runs really well but I'm a flasher.

I have used CM7, CM9 and CM10 on the captivate and all worked well, but recently switched to SlimBean 4.2.1 and it is much smoother. With CM10 my battery drained quicker and the phone was often warm when used for a long period(playing games, etc), but I don't have this problem with Slim
