Hi, I'm quite new here and I'm overwhelmed by the quantity of roms in the developers section. Though I'd like to, I don't have time to try them all out... The only rom I tried and the one I'm currently using is a nightly build of some weeks ago of official CM7, I like it but there are some minor annoyances/bugs, so I'm waiting for first stable release to come out... but I'd like to know, what roms are you currently using that are most stable and appropriate for day to day use?
For example, is the CM9 unofficial faster/more stable than the one I'm using?
I'm also wandering, why not set up a monthly poll where you can vote which rom you're using? This way one could at least see the most popular roms and if he doesn't have a lot of time like me try out only those... Or something similar allready exists and I missed it?
Stock ROM. Install CF root kernel and use smartassv2 governor. It's stable and fast.

Try SGSII v9 for daily use.
IF the no preview camera is not a problem for u, then u can go for CM9
ITs fast and doesn't lag....

You should either use Adrenaline ROM XWKT7 by imbawind, which I must say is really fast and has lot of spacr to install apps as he removed alot. Based on stock ROM
Or
Use Apocalypse ROM by itasoulas which is based in CM 7.2 RC3 by vo-1.
It might have a few bugs, but you prob won't notice it. Is also really fast

i'm using lewa, beautiful n stable.. add the firekernel for longer battery life..
thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
as I thought, everyone has their own favorite, so I guess I'll have to choose 3 or 4 of the most popular ones and try out at least those...
what about the poll idea?
i use joyos with my modification...when i play game full can make battery dead in 6 hour..and if only listen music,social media like twitter can 2 hour (1 day = 6 hour i sleep so can 2 hour)
AFAIK
ROM's that you can consider for daily use is :
CM.7 by vo-1
LeWa
dont use any modified CM.7(LeWa is other thing) or stock based
modified CM.7 = confuse
Stock Based = lame
CM.7 official is lack some feature....well....its minor...but annoying
StockLite 7.1 and use Adrenine engine and set cpu to smartassv2 and sio

Well,it really does depend on your need.
For Eye-candy: CM9 if you don't care about camera preview and bugs
For perfomance: Any CM7/CM7 based rom
For stability and battery life: Stock rom
My preference: Stock based roms
Lewa : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506952
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360889
used both for more than a month, Lewa i think is a bit better!
The myth Or Apocalypse . Personally , i prefer apocalypse . Both roms are great though
So, I tried Lewa, and it seems nice, but not really my thing... Stocklite is amazingly responsive! That definitely seems good for everyday use, though I like some things of CM7 better (the app drawer and more customization in general). Will have to try out apocalypse.
BTW should I try a CM9 or ICS based rom, are there problems then going back to a CM7 or stock based one? I'm using Titanium Backup to restore apps
I would recomend apocalypse rom, very fast andy stable.
Good battery life due firekernel, and gets always updated by his dev., so it has very good support also.

I had say,No,but thats my opinion CM9 should be a bit more stable before a new user like you tries it out.
I think CM9 is the best, I use it
Well I'm using APOCALYPSE rom. Its fast and really stable. I'm a power user and I've gotten about 12hrs out this rom with slightly heavy use.
I've tried others but I've always returned to this rom. I love it. Tried CM9 but its too buggy still. Camera, GPS, battery issues keep it from being a daily driver. Well at least for the time being.

There's no best rom !
Try them, some of them maybe will be ok for you. Try CM9, AOKP, Dark Knight, Slim ICS. Each has its pros and cons, u just have to try them out.
Just flash a few roms until you find one you're happy with.
Not that it really matters which one you like most because once you pop you cant stop.
Reccomended:
TiramiSLIM, Slim ICS, DarkyRom Black Edition, and a bunch of others that are all fine pieces of work.
now im using gamerz rom and ir runs fast it gives me 220mb of free ram the gta3 work very welll :good: ive already used darkys and cm9 and 3 types of ics thank you guys very much

I tried hellybean once again. I had been using cm7.2 and cm10.1 nightlies until 20130723 build was released. this is the best release of the devilkernel and hellybean in a long while. This is probably because cm10.1 is pretty darn stable right now.
Anyways, with hellybean you need the devil kernel manager app to configure it properly. You can also use nstools to undervolt, but it's alright even if you don't.
It's basically cm10.1 but you get the devilkernel and the xposed framework with the rom. You'll have to install the gapps for android 4.2 separately.
http://hellybean.com/I900042.html
It's really a great kernel (right now, semaphore is good too), and the 20130723 release is great. Battery is decent, performance is flawless if you tweak it. Use the dkm app and also enter Systemsettings -> System -> Find "Build.prop Mods" -> set wifi scan interval to 150, pm sleep to "power collapse", dalvik cache to 48m and enable gpu acceleration at the bottom. These tweaks might be "placebo/sugarpills" but it shouldn't cause problems. You can check "optimize tcp stack" too, not that I notice the difference really.
In DKM app, you could set ram setting to "XL", enable zram and set zramsize to 150. on the cpu tab, use smartassv2 governor with the powersave profile, or normal difference is negligable. Enable deep idle if you want. next page, enable fast charge if you know to disable it when you want to transfer files over usb. On the misc tab, make sure bluetooth kill is on, fsync control is off and dynamic fsync is on. Smooth ui should be on if you feel it's laggy otherwise.
That's how I've configured it for now. I don't think I'll upgrade hellybean for a while, that usually leads to unstability and/or performance loss.
ThinkingBridge ROM
ROM: ThinkingBridge ROM Stable-1
Theme it with : SGS IV - TW + AccuWeather S4
Mod with: Fly-On Mod
And finally install Greenify for better RAM management.
And you are good for a very long time!!

Hi guys great topic, i'm deeply interested.
A friend of mine gave me her i9000 to "repair" because it was laggy as hell.
I tried few roms last week with her criterions :
Not laggy for common tasks (almost no gaming) even with few widgets on home screen
Good battery life is a plus
I first tried some JB rom (C-Rom, SuperNexus) great experience but they were laggy as hell with few apps installed (i had about 5sec lag between each action). I see that you guys recomment hellybean, would you feel that the smoothness would be better?
I did'nt try ICS roms as i see in the dev section that most of them are abandonned.
I finally tried a GB (JWB), the smoothness is better but i experience big lags on the calling apps (remake all my call multiple times when i finished it...). I guess the best option would be the GB smoothness without this laggy call app.
What would be your recommendations? more searching in the JB roms (hellybean etc.)? or trying CM7, or other GB stocks?
thanks in advance for your recommendations,
CM7 is great in performance - fastest ROM i've tried for i9000, but if no new features needed.
Using CM 10.2 for about a week and it feels good and have some battery-friendly features.
Better to make full wipe before installing any of 4+ roms
Thanks, my todo list is now:
RemICS

carbon rom(unofficial by aways) + devil kernel

In my opinion, stock GB ROMs are the fastest. CM7.2 is pretty fast as well. Any GB ROM with the right kernel should do

JB(4.1.2) is laggy and not effective solution.
better try custom roms and enjoy.
My device once had stock JB and it worked well indeed. However, it probably needs time to settle in and will be smoother. Every rom is laggy at the very beginning of usage after flashing.
Root your phone, and flash cocore kernel. Better yet, install HarshJelly, it's a stock based rom. Or any custom rom if you prefer. Nothing much you can do if you don't want to root your phone. Or maybe upgrade your jb firmware to the latest one, LQL

Latest version (9.0) allows CPU overclocking. Your phone may or may not be stable at 1.28ghz, instead of stock 1 ghz.

If you want to stick with stock firmware mean root it and uninstall the bloatware comes with stock os. Use the greenify app to stop the unwanted apps running in background.
Or else try custom jelly or kit Kat Rom. Lot of roms available for our model.

Try using JB Stock without SDCARD.
If the problems go away this is the problem.
I suspect that the JB version for SGA has trouble dealing with SDCARD. It is no coincidence that the internal storage has been a priority for several most current devices.
Unfortunately we have very little internal storage.
Advise a SDCARD good quality and good speed.
Also avoid occupy it completely. This goes also for internal storage.
Another good practice is to optimize from time to time the SDCARD.

I use Cocore 8.2. long time without lags, freezes, hangs, etc..
Happened a reboot , but only one in months using normally.
Totally Acceptable.Probably no connection with JB Stock or kernel. But Android itself
Dialer, message, etc..Only replaced and solved.
Stock camera has also worked well. Just always use internal storage and no more problems.
Launcher: "NOVA" . Smooth and without lags.
Anyway, using for months, I have no more complaints about stock JB.
SGA is not the fastest smart and has only 768 RAM, but everything works fine with JB Stock.
Of course I'll try AOSP or CM in final version.
