First off. Wrong section. This should be in the Q&A Section.
It's all about preference. Do you wanna stick as close as possible to stock? If yes you can use Divine ROM.
It's fast and has all stock features like FM Radio mixed with loads of customization
Or AOSP ROMS.
IMO The best ones are Paranoid Android, CyanogenMod, Rootbox and my favorite MIUI.
Paranoid has tablet ui in your phone. which is cool
cyanogen is super stable
rootbox is customizable
miui is fast and customizable with a few bugs
This isn't development related.
Also, nobody can answer this question for you. Just nandroid and flash ICS ROMs until you find one you like.

Hey guys, UPS tells me the Note will be here by Friday. This is my 5 (6?) Android device.
Ideally I would like to have a stable 2.X MIUI ROM. I like MIUI so much I even make some themes. Anyway, it doesn't look like there is good MIUI support. So I would like to have a very stable and slim GB ROM.
What do you recommend? Looking through the Android development forum I see most of the threads are about ICS. I don't want to venture in that territory right now.
Just want to be sure: if I am only flashing GB roms I am safe to use CWM correct?
I am sorry this is a noob question but one problem with xda's structure is that you can never find a decent rom comparison thread in most of the device forums. Lay it on me.
only miui roms so far are ics ones
yes flashing gb roms is fine from cwm

You are also safe on CM9-based ICS Roms. They all have safe kernel developed from I9100 source code. The slimmest of these Roms is Asylum. It's under 100 Mbs.
Does the ICS CM9 rom hasve hardware acceleration, Chrome working? If not I rather stay with older kernel.
I need good theme support, Go launcher run smooth on which ROM?
i guess u can enable HW accl in cm9..

chrome works as well..
u might need to use the older version of chrome if u wanna use custom dpi.. but rest everythin is good..

Hi People
I am new to the world of custom rom. I just rooted my phone and i am looking into proceeding with installing ICS through a custom rom.
After some research i have narrowed it dow to two choices.
Paranoid Android vs. KingDroid NoteMania
Paranoid Android is fascinating but after correspondence with a member from here he has told me that:
"in russian forums many peoples have *mmc* issues with "paranoid android" latest version, so choice is obvious for me: Kingdroid note mania is better, just because it's safer."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is that true?
About KingDroid now i have nothing to report or ask. It looks perfect, except for the fact that it doesn't have tablet mode which i really want to get the feel of.
Now some general questions.
I have heard that custom roms have minor but frustrating glitches in various things.
I was wondering what i should expect...?
Anything other noteworthy that i might need in order to make an informed decision?
Ps. Right now i have a problem with my Note. It breaks off deep sleep spontaneously as if awakening from a bad dream.
Will a custom Rom fix that? Will it bring me other nightmares?
What is your experience with these two roms?
Thank you in advance people.

I suggest you go throughout the respective post in the development section. For PA, it is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662802
Start at posts after June 27, then you skip problems of previous versions.
I went through almost everything and it appears there are hardly any issues. I personally do not have any, except that I have not yet figured out how to change the sort order for my movies in the Gallery app; it appears it always sorts by file date or so. Anyway, off topic and not really a bug I guess.
PA is quite unique in the sense that you can have phone mode and tablet mode apps simultaneously. I like that. On ICS, I was very disappointed about the email app. In PA, this is simply great.
To install PA, you go back to GB or any other safe kernel, hence there is no emmc issue as someone suggested to you. PA itself uses a safe kernel of CM9, so no issues here either.
About Kingdroid, no idea. I will stick with PA as it fits my needs.
I suggest that's exactly what you should do: try for yourself to see does it fit. It's like with shoes. Asking someone else whether they fit is pointless...
_____________________________________
If I helped you I'd appreciate your THANKS!
Just try all the roms out here.
Only after you have tested a few roms can you tell which one suits your needs.
I've tried almost all of them here in xda: Rocket Rom, Kingdroid, Asylum, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, Ganbarou, Cassie's, AllianceRom, LiquidSmooth, Criskelo, Chrack. Although CM9/AOSP/AOKP roms have a million possibilities of customization i found that tw based roms suit my needs better. After many flashes i'm currently on AllianceRom which i think it's the best for me, smooth, customizable, stable.
I have narrowed down to exactly these two ROMS. PA or KD. I wish someone did feature comparison

Well before i used to use DarkyRom (for NOTE is alliance ). Gnex was with paranoid android.
But for me know for the first time one question crossed my mind. Do I really need to avoid TW for example and the benefits I have and love from use of S-PEN.
So I am now looking for a good Stock rooted ROM. not AOSP or AOKP anymore.
I am loosing too much with them. And I need NOTE mostly for business so my choice is obvious.

Clear answers to clear questions.. It only depends on your own likes.. Try both and see..
PA its as safe as any other safe rom as it uses cm9 kernels (well known to be safe) Also Kindroid its safe because they use a safe kernels in aroma installer...
And Kindroid DOES have tablet mode just it does not support any kind of touchwiz ui they use apex launcher (aosp looks like launcher) for this mode

I am currently on cristelo rom ics. Since the developer has stopped support, I would like to try Jb custom rom but need opinion from fellow buddies here.
-which rom is more stable as a daily driver?
- i use phone mainly for whatsapp, SMS, Facebook,.forum runner... but . no games.
- preference to have better battery life but not a definite must as I am office bounded.
- base on the recommended rom, what are the things I need to be aware? E.g. SMS not working well.... xxx soon will hang and stuff....
Any recommendations or input appreciated.

JB is not that stable, Stay with TW roms.
And while ur at it, start reading the JB threads especially the changelogs as it will answer ur question on what works or not.
I myself am waiting for a stable release.

Just check the sticky thread in development section for various custom roms & their features. If it suits your taste you can try to install it. For me Paranoid Android 2.1 by Imilka is good JB ROM. Just keep a nandroid backup of your current ROM. Try flashing various roms following the instructions. If you dont like just restore the backup & you are back.
As has been said once & again be on a safe kernel. Hydracore is the preferred on as it is THE UNIVERSAL KERNEL...

Well advised
@OP, I don't think you should ask suggestion on which rom to choose, people have different taste and everyone will suggest different rom. Better for you is to check the respective rom threads and then choose best suited rom for you after going through rom OP and latest user comments if possible.
Jelly Core by Gavin. Found link in my signature.
I would consider AOKP JB too. I have been on it and it is really good! But, I finally went back to RR ICS because I missed S-apps...(Yeah, really freak!!)

Hey, I was a fellow Criskelo (and Chrack) user until the final release. Excellent ROM, similar to Foxhound on the GS2. In my personal opinion (hey, its only an opinion) the current JB ROMs are ok but not "different enough" to warrant using as a daily driver. I have had issues with A2DP and SMS not being received. S Apps wasnt a problem as I prefer GNote and Papyrus. I would recommend you try Chrack V15 (on Hydra 4.3), in my opinion its better than Criskelo and the battery performance is superb. You wont be disappointed.
Hope this helps.
Asylum cm10(aroma installer)
I feel its stable enough and getting a better battery life(atleast for me)
Hi guys,
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2, but it started to become painfully slow and it crashes almost every day. So I'm think about installing another ROM, but to be honest, after reading recent topics with custom ROMs, I really can't decide which one should I download. I would like to have an ICS or higher, but if there is a ROM on 2.3 that is way faster than any ROMs on 4.0 and higher, I can install the Gingerbread.
What are your recommendations? I'm currently interested in modded CyanogenMod 10.1, ImaGinary ICS Final and Touchwiz Revolutionised 5.0.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I get it, but... how should I choose the best one - which is most suitable for me - when people can't express their opinions about different ROMs? Most of the posts in particular ROMs threads are related to some broken stuff etc., so it is hard to find same opinions.

hello, I cant answer your question, I can only give you an idea of what I experienced and read out there. Like all of us, you have to experience, have fun, and make your own evaluation, I begin to suggest you to choose spacecaker's rom , or you can get the stock rom with new kernel, andrenaline engine and Darktremor.
But dont stay with those, try some more a get back to tell us your opinion
Hope I helped

I completely agree with quashqool. U shud search n try n get a first hand experience yourself. Some users want battery life, some want performance and some want UI. So people review different ROMs differently. However I have created a thread to answer this and similar questions. You may try it here

The ROM Im Already Using Is Tw5 JB ROM (4.1.2 - 4.2.1) it is very fast and smooth and good looking ,it doesnt flash the kernel and it doesnt spend so much battery

Sky_Walker_Studios :good::good::good::good::good:
I'm using one of those that you mentioned: modded CyanogenMod 10.1 and then on top of it I installed PurePerformances™X.
I've tried Miracle V4 and M'rage. This setup seems better to me in every way, but that is just my opinion. It also depends if you like CM or stock roms..
can any one give a rom that has no bug because ihave read some post about roms that has a bug like camre, wifi etc.
i have rooted my phone and iwant some rom thats not heavy and is smooth thanx
also some steps on how to's:fingers-crossed:
Im currently trying Mardon ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438 so far I didn't run into any problems and its running well.
I would suggest you try a many roms and then decide which on is best for you, its hard to tell. Some people want performance others want battery life etc.
Good luck!
I want to be rich, to have a Ferrari parked opposite my house and to eat gold every day....
Never ask for the best rom... and similar questions, if you want a bugfree rom build it yourself if not help devs testing roms and reporting bugs.
You are new here, PLEASE READ RULES BEFORE POSTING NOTHING AND USE Q&A THREAD FOR ASKING THIS KIND OF QUESTIONS
Thank you

Maclaw's AOSP
Since i discovered Maclaw's 4.2.2 AOSP i will never go back to something else then a Maclaw one, there aren't any bugs so far and is without a doubt the fastest smoothest JB rom for our Ace out there.

Try search for stocklite or stockrom evolution.

I prefer CM 7.2 based roms than CM10 or stock based because in my opinion, It is by far the most stable and battery friendly. CM10 is faster and smoother, but I prefer stability and battery consumption. I haven't tried CM9 yet, but when I find time, I would surely love to test it out.
Rom without bugs
Stock rom is the best if you dont want any bugs, if you want an ics rom, then choose for the maclaw rom.
