Whats the best rom available right now for the N1? I haven't tested my N1 with anything in a while been running MIUI but I'm finding it to be sort of laggy now with apps installed.
Fastest? Hmm, pretty much any CM7 self-kang.
This one by samuaz is really fast: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416894
Is that the most stable rom available for nexus one right now?
with multiple full wipes to include system both are stable for me
with ICS by samuaz you need to follow op page exactly
Temaseks latest CM7 Kang with scroll zip is BLAZING
I use now ICS by samuaz, it's fast and really stable. But it's an alpha version!
When you think it's important to have a stable rom, then
use CM7. CM7 roms are as stable as stock, but better ;-)
worth upgrading to ICS or JB?
hello. I realize this thread hasn't been active in a while, but I am thinking to bring back my Nexus One from the grave so I can have a backup phone for my daughter to play with in the car/plane. I wanted to ask if it is worth installing ICS or JB ROMs that are out there. I just have the stock ROM in there now and I always struggled with low memory and lag with some newer apps, that's why I've upgraded phones (I've have a Galaxy Nexus now).
I don't have intentions to put a SIM card in there, so I don't really care about phone call features.. only purely from a processing and lightweight standpoint.
Has anybody played enough with GB vs ICS and/or JB and weighed if it's worth upgrading? I'm assuming that it's worth it because so many developers still have Nexus One ROMs... that's why I would just go ahead and install it, but then I'm thinking again if it's just going to bog down the phone if I'm going to only use it for simple games.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello! I have installed the CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v6.0 that is based on CyanogenMod and Evervolv, and works fine for me. I also have installed all the /data partition in the SD card with the A2SD script that is incorporated in the ROM... it generates some few lags, but I didn't have had any problem of lack of space again.
In my opinion, this is the ROM of JB that best preserves the native Android interface, and in my case is stable (until 7 days without to require a reboot!).
Other JB ROMs that users frequently use are PARANOIDANDROID and PixelDroid.
Thanks for the quick response! That is the ROM I was thinking of as well. However, just as a comparison, I'm thinking to flash a clean version of GB back onto the phone as well. Any recommendations on any GB ROMs as well? Thanks!

Sorry, but I can't help on it. I didn't install any GB ROM further than the stock ROM. In my opinion, I think that a stable, complete and functional ROM might be CyanogenMod 7.2. Maybe other XDA members can help you better on it...

This is my main phone. In several times I though changing to other new Nexus device, but the screen size of new devices is too big for me! I like a screen size from 3.7 to 4.0, that is good to read mails, a brief navigation in the Internet, and other minor issues. For other intensive uses, I have my tablet Nexus 10 or my laptop.
Hi, I'm noob in sansung galaxy S rooms.
Which rom is the best for you?
Stable (for dialy use) and very smooth.
And which Kernel?
Cheerss!
Jw4 or jw5 with semaphore is rock solid, remove bloatware, apply themes and cool hacks

Just went from ICSSGS (onecosmic) 4.2 to this rom:
ICS333 RC1.1 by Team 3xtr3m3
its an ICS 4.0.4 ROM which works brilliantly. I switched from ICSSGS because they are still stuck on ICS 4.0.3 although I must say that one works just fine too!
its an AOSP rom, meaning that its trying to be as close to how google releases ICS themselfs. They made some enhancements, like a brightness slider in the pulldown menu etc, but they really work well and they dont "over do" it with extras.
Together with the newest Semaphore kernel this works like a charm.

Good luck with finding a ROM that works well for you!
Ps. It is kinda hard to define which rom is "best". Different Roms offer different kind of stuff. I like my ROM to be as clean as possible with not to many frills. Other people might want to have buttons for everything . Its just what you personally prefer. I suggest you read the ROM threads in the android dev section. Most of the time you can get a good glimpse about what a certain ROM offers and how stable or buggy it generally is by the first post and the suggestions / replies that are posted by users.
It depends on your use

It depends. For GB, Darky's Rom or CM7. For ICS, Elite/Slim/CM9. Yet again, it depends...
I wan't a rom smooth and stable. You are affirming that android 4.0 is stable, right?
Android 2.3 is very good, I never test android 4.0, which is more smooth and fast?
Thank you!
First, there is always a risk when flushing... Do NAND and EFS before.
As for being stable - AFAIK, from reading and testing, some ICS roms out there are very stable and can be used for daily use. However, you should take in mind that while these ICS roms - as stable as they are - are still new, while GB roms have been outhere for a while.
I think that Slim is very stable. AOKP and CM9 also, yet a little more buggy...

I agree with what you said, but Team ICSSGS have never stopped working on their rom and I believe they will surprise us with an RC5 by the end of this month. In all cases their RC 4.2 remains among the best available for GS. Coupled with MINCS 143, it works like a charm except for direct access to ext. SD (still accessible through SD/EMMC though).
When I heard that Samsung wasn't developing ICS for the SGS I decided to root mine and flash an ICS rom and for some reason chose the ICSSGS rom. I used that for a few days and was happy. Then I realized they were still on 4.0.3 and then decided to upgrade to CM9 as they are on 4.0.4. It's a matter of personal preference.

I'm currently using team android jellybean and its super smooth and fast due to project butter. It can be used for daily use, so your wife can call and text like normal. However if you prefer a more stabler ROM I recommend team nyx. Its ICS (android 4.0) and team android jellybean is jellybean (android 4.1).
Ps. Both are great
Just got the wife one of these and installed cm9 rc2,everything is spot on...
I did have cm9 stable but had an issue with ringtones so reverted back to the rc2 version.
why not start with the stable and if theres any issues its straightforward to roll back to rc2 without losing any data etc...
From what I read from other threads, it appears that the ICS and JB roms are quite stable enough as a daily driver. I have a few questions regarding these Roms. I'm still running the Apex rom which is an i9000 stock based rom on 2.3.6 for the past year or so. It has been working very well for me. I'm kinda inching to running a JB or ICS rom because of some apps wouldn't run on anything less than ICS or JB.
1. My main concern that stopped me from running ICS or JB is the EU bug. What are the chances of one who never had it before to get it?
2. I know Adobe stopped providing flash support for JB, so now because I'll be running a custom rom, will there be flash support on those roms?
3. The state of 4.2.1 appears to still be in beta for most roms, so I would assume 4.1.2 is more stable than the former, but I would like to know how does 4.1.2 compare with 4.0.4 in terms of stability?
4. I've ran CM7.1 before which was an AOSP rom, but I experienced really bad battery problems. I've tried it a few times, and nothing works to solve it, so I always end up going back to the APex Rom. Because the JB and ICS roms are AOSP-based, how would these roms compare with the stock based roms and CM7 in terms of battery life?
I really want to be sure I want to flash JB or ICS. I would like to breathe some new life into my 2.5 year old phone, but just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into first.
Thanks in advance.

1. To my knowledge the EU bug is only present on ICS ROMs. I encountered it once and had read enough about it that I didn't hit the reset phone button. I went back into recovery and flashed back to jellybean with no permanent harm.
2. I haven't paid much attention to this so potentially yes and no.
3. 4.2.1 is actually pretty stable but is lacking some features that people already running custom JB ROMs have come to rely on. But yes for a fully functional and stable ROM I would suggest avoiding 4.2.1 for the time being.
4. In my opinion battery life is improved over gingerbread no matter what ROM you're running. Of course battery life is a subjective thing. I've seen screenshots where someone had their battery last 2 days on so and so rom. But that person likely didn't touch the phone the majority of those 2 days.
All in all I would suggest you go with jellybean 4.1.2 as they are very stable and honestly smoother and more responsive than ICS.
A couple things before you flash though. First make a backup of your efs folder. You'll thank me later if you end up needing it. Secondly going from where you are to where you want to end up is a major jump in software versions which includes a partition layout change specifically if you are going to Jellybean. So the first time you flash the ROM the flash will complete very quickly(less than 5 seconds). If you try to boot after that flash you'll get stuck in a boot loop. Don't worry though just reboot back into recovery which should have updated with the first flash. Then just flash the ROM again as well as the gapps and you'll be golden.

Yes, flash it still supported. Just not needed by adobe.
Battery problem can come from so many things and usually is user based. We use apps like BetterBatteryStats to narrow it down though.
As for 4.1.2 and 4.2.1. I would highly suggest 4.1.2 for now until 4.2.2 comes out.
agree with BWolf56,
I've running CM10.0 stable release, JB 4.1.2, and have found it to be more stable, smoother, and reliable than stock GB with Corn 7 kernel.
I was also concerned about EU bug.
I couldn't find any evidence than anyone had experienced the EU bug on JB.
Skip ICS and go for it!

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
