that's up to you
it depends on what do you prefer. you have to try some roms. For me is important how offen the developer updates his rom, if it is stable and handy and easy to update. After trying dozen of roms and som kernels my favourite is Slim ICS in combination with Sempahore Kernel 1.2.0.s with hugemem option (399Mb RAM)
Slim ICS is highly optimizable, really fast and with semaphore you get some cherries like voodoo sound option, other governors, schedulers etc..
If i compare it to some GB stock roms, where you have 320 Mb ram or something like that, i have to laugh :

I have flashed quite a few roms (Elite, EXTRAordinary, AOKP, etc.). One of the best that I have experienced is INFINITUM LBR 1.1.1. This rom is smooth, good battery, rom control, OTA updates and plenty of available ram. You will not regret flashing this rom :thumbup:

Slim ICS, CM9 nightly and Dark Knight (and so Elite too)

The best around Dark Knight v5.5 da fast & stable

After probing diferent ICS roms, the best for mi is MIUI.4-SpeeD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548796

Every single ROM is good. My fav is ICSSGS with Devil kernel. I tried Slim ICS and tiny bugs and glitches let it down. Also, in slim ics I had some SIM problemsand the icons are tiny. CM9 is a battery eater.

[Q] POLL- Favorite Galaxy N7000 Rom & Why

Whats YOUR favorite Galaxy Note N7000 Rom?
Ice-Cream Sandwhich or Gingerbread Roms?
I personally use MidNote ICS ROM & Abyss Kernel. I like it a lot i just haven't tried any others yet.
The only non-stock rom I've tried is the AOSP by imilka, and I'm pleased with it.
GINGERBREAD. My own rom, I call it noob rom.

Share it here with us so that we too can try it
Few users here were kind enough to guide me. May be I'll write a guide in general section.
There's nothing in my rom; just stock, deodex, pdroid and thunderbolt.
GB, Pure stock (Root+CWM), Latest
Midnote 1.6 with abyss kernel...love it.

Imilka's AOSP ROM. Why ? Because TouchWiz sucks. Stock ICS is what i was aiming for while getting my Note - and Imilka's ROM gives pure stock experience.

None, at least not using stock ICS's software.
Criskelo all the way it's knows for stability, great performance and really nice implemented themes. best for everyday use when we can't allow ourselves for freezes, reboots etc.
Rom is updated only when it makes sense, for example when new firmware brings some changes, some roms are updated just to show off, it can be tiresome for ppl that aren't flash addicts

Both work on imilka's AOSP v7.
LC1 deodexed & rooted. Have tried a few ICS roms but they aren't quite there yet imo.

I've been using MidTeam 1.0 there's no ICS kernel so far but i can say its a great rom and i'm testing ALBa's rom and is quite the same, quadrant gives pretty much same score, the difference could be the theme, MidTeam is more ICS and ALBa's more GB, both are ICS 4.0.3 both full TW working, S PEN and apps are working as they should be.

Just trying out Stunner from Criskelo, love Criskelo's for stability. Stunner is stable so far with awesome customization. Just really miss s-memo, have the substitutes but if that could be added ( i know it cant) would be perfect
havent tried neither criskelo's nor stunner's which one is the one with amazing customizaions that you point out? Care to mention a couple of them?
Thanks buddy

What ICS-Rom is good for daily use

Hey guys,
I'm reading a lot of posts regarding ICS-Roms and I'm confused:
Which one should I flash onto my SGS if I want the most stable experience?
Thanks for your kind help
DK3 + Devil2 0.67 kernel
I use DarkKnight 3 (not 4 which is buggy) with Devil2 0.67 kernel and all works just great! Form me its perfect for daily use in terms of stability and usability. No issues at all. But you may want to try yourself which rom works best for you...
try AOKP B32 with semaphore kernel...
its a gr8 rom... not found any bugs so far
infinitum
I just started using infinitum and very happy with it.
Installation of the roms is quite simple and straightforward so you could easily try a bunch out and make your own mind.
Slim ICS, Elite,Doc's
Cm9 nightly
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Been trying to decide between CM9 nightly and SLIM ICS.
Right now I feel Slim a litle faster and lighter (with semaphore BM kernel is really great).
Remix all the Way
This is the best ROM I have ever tested
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
My Hat goes off
only niggle I have is the boot animation strobe - a little too aggressive
I am on CM9 latest build and have no problems so far. I was on Darky rom before with lagfix enabled.

+1 The Infinitum v2 currently based on B31 is really great and keeps the battery happy. (With semaphore 1.0.0s) Check it out, some claim it the best ICS AOKP rom out.
I have to say from my experience one cosmics ICSSGS RC 4.1 or 4.2 is perfect. I have had very few problems and it proper stock Ics which I love, I find all the added extras just make problems.

Iv been on and off teamhacksung's cm9 since build 9 and since build 14 iv been using it as a daily. iv got absolutly no complaints it is a great rom and now with the nightlys it is getting better and better. Im a big follower in the cm series but best thing to do us read some of the development forums and see wich tickles your fancy

I'm currently on ICSSGS 4.2 with Semaphore 0.9.7. I do work, play games, text, chat, etc..
Only grief I have with my phone right now is the GPS is borked. In some apps.
Can't wait for RC5 though. It's supposed to just rock!
Easy.
Latest CM9 Nightly. So damn good. Fast as a running cat! GPS works just fine, wifi works fine.
I'm also using Infinitys blue theme over that so it's pretty awsome!
Slim ICS is the best one I ever tried. Strongly recommend mate.

agreed...though i use 0.67b
CM9 nightly 14.04 with devil 0.67 is the best for me.
I think Slim ICS 3.3 with 0.67 devil kernel

[Q] which ICS ROM for samsung galaxy S i9000

Hey guys im new to XDA but im a pretty old with the rooting stuff
So till now i've been using the stock 2.3.4 and wanna switch to custom ics rom
Im thinking to go for Dark Knight 5.5.. which one do you suggest?
Thanks
Try ICSSGS
I've been using Onecosmic's ICSSGS ROM for a long time and it has been great for me.
Its really stable and fast.
Also i use Devil kernel for this ROM. And its increases battery life and speed through the roof.
May be you can try it out too.
Slim ics!!!!!! Best rom ever....
Send from my Galaxy S with Slim ICS 3.9 + Semaphore 1.2.2
Team NYX ICS V5 is the best...best battery and speed among all the available custom ROM
I would recommend CM9. it has constant updates. but if you want a very stable release and you don't want to update it once every 2 weeks, you should stay with a custom rom of gingerbread.
depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you want something special i would take the paranoidandroid rom and if you want a simple and clean rom take slim ics !
CM9 is the best ever
elite v1.3 with devil kernel

I'm with these dudes.
i'd recommend docs master v12 with the latest semaphore. i've been running this combo since v12 came out and i had no problem at all. do a clean install in you can forget about fc's and lags.

Hi, I use the ICS333 but to get a rom you like you nide try many roms
Get the Galaxy S3 look!
Hi
Try Slimrom (http://code.google.com/p/slimics39/downloads/list) as it is small in file size and then use AOKP add-on (http://www.mrmad.net/samsung-addon-packet-cm9-i9000-im-sgs3-look-2105) to upgrade your android. This runs Android 4.0.4 and looks and sounds like the new Galaxy S3 with some of the apps etc! Works good on my phone!
I don't stay with any ROM for more then two days ! Have tried almost all roms out there. Happy and next day, disdained , disappointed.
Last 3 days with TIGER ROM.
Record for me. Not that I am compromising or anything but cannot even find one bug so far !
Amazing ROM ! Even find camera faster and with a Timer !
Check it out bro !

Same.
but you have to know that the the ICS roms are some kind of beta or nightly (like CM9).
But if you want a very stable and energy saving rom you should stay on Gingerbread (my opinion). I use CM7 (based on Android 2.3.7) and it is the best rom I tested in the last time.
Else Slim seems to be a good rom - especially after the last updates (4.0 brings some good bugfixes and features).

Sorry. There is nothing about stability on gingerbread. It is very unpredictable ROM. Sometimes great and at times lagging and the screen goes black cause it's "thinking!" And also when it syncs , evening slows down !

Tiramislim with midnight.. amazing combo
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
many people here recommend slim ics.. try out "tiramislim". it's bades on slim with a vew cool features. with aroma-installer you can modify it easy without flashing the rom new. on my device, it runs with the devil3 kernel veerry well.
I am running the Remics V1.1, and it's very stable, no bugs.

Rocket rom ics vs criskelo ics

Which one is better in your opinion? I am currently using rocket rom. Rocket rom is just too awesome for me to try criskelo so, i want to get someones opinion who have experienced both. Because i like the gold theme but it is not available in rr. Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
I take it from the 100+ views and no replys that most people have only been running RR.
I also have not tried criskelo i have been with RR since GB roms on and off but have always come back to RR roms, R6 is the fastest smoothest rom i have used even with CF-root kernel.

I tried both Criskelo and Roclet rom. I prefer Rocket Rom since it run smoother on my Note.
I have tried both. Have also flashed each rocketROM since its development (V1) and am currently on v6.
- RocketROM is the best for me. I am assuming that it would be for each other note out there too..

slim ics 4.2 with seapahore kernel......
stable,lag free with excellent battery.....
Another thread with the same question! ICS333 in my experience is the best, though slim is one of the few I haven't tried!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I'd also root for Slim, faster than CM9 in my experience and never disappointed me. No need to flash Semaphore though IMO, the stock kernel also is working great.
I dont own the S1 anymore, but before i sold it, i have used "DarkyROM". This was the best ROM i've ever used. Fast, stable and good.
I i would the S1 again, i would install DarkyROM again.
RemICS v1.3
I use it daily and it's wonderful...
I would say cm9 with devil kernel.
I used TeamICSSGS' rom. Was very happy with it but today swapped it for Jelly bean.
for crying out loud, there's about 5 threads like this now .....why don't you people just read? ! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Well said slappy....
In addition to it, dont ask which one is good as the one good for someone wont fit in your case so best answer it just test roms until you find the one for you ;-)

Get CM9 RC2 which has been released today. Its stable version.
You can directly install Slim ICS. There is no need to install CM9 before installing Slim ICS.

Darky rom ONLY does official Samsung ROMs... since ICS was never officially released for the i9000 , there is no Darky ICS rom for the galaxy S...
Edit: OK so it seems after Darky Rom split and the others formed TeamAlliance, Darky has decided to make AOSP ROMs as well while Alliance doesn't...
Therefore cdwriter was right... there is a Darky ICS...

Best ICS ROM?
I have tried almost ALL the ICS Roms out there. And i can confidently say that i have found AOKP to be the baddest of 'em all. Not even CM9 mind you.
Make sure you use the NEW DataFix script by Windego (the 20120524) and NOT the older one (20120329).
Use the ROM with Devil Kernel (0.79 version) Choose Voodoo Colors or CMC, your choice. Before flashing this kernel, make sure you remove the already included init.d datafix script. (Open the package in WinRAR, navigate to system > etc > init.d > remove file named "S30dafafix)

Yes, DarkyRom is on of the best roms... Hope that Darky will make a JB rom soon
You can try SLIM ICS by karvind. The ROM is pretty fast, smooth and stable. I was using it till Build 4.1 and I switched to JB
