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.

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.
Hi everyone i've just got myself HOX but my girlfrend still has SGS over 3yrs now .My question is which rom has no lags and is good enough for daily use.I flashed for her C-rom and it's laggy as hell.
I tried couple others rom all of them are jelly beans i don't remember names of roms but most of them are laggy i repeat laggy that i can't do basic things.
So maybe jelly bean is to heavy what i mean by that is You know just a single core ,512mb of rams maybe that's not enough ,i don't know i'm not a dev i just wish to have a decent rom without lags.
Could someone suggest which rom has no lags 'cuz i'm a little bit tired of searching for it.
I don't need JB might be ICS but i wish to have a normal working phone without lags .
U hope that someone can point something for me ,anyways thanx in advance and have a good one bye bye.
First of all, I hope you're not comparing performance to your hox...
That said, there will be certain microlags, and opening certain apps might take a second, no matter which rom you choose. CM10 roms are among the most stable jb roms, there's loads of variations and re-themes of it here. No offense to anyone, but a huge amount of jb roms here are re compiled CM10 or Aokp with themes and bloatware. Aokp ics roms are the equivalent regarding ics, in my opinion.
My tip would be first to find out if gb, ics or jb is best for your girlfriend, read up on it. Which features does she need, what ui does she prefer?
Then start fresh, find some of the guides here in xda, flash gb in Odin and repartition and start from there to flash your rom of choice.
Sent from horseback.
I found cm10 to be laggy (fresh install with only nova launcher and a few google apps). CM9 is not laggy at all for me.
I'd suggest sticking to ics if performance is your main concern.

I know this might not the right place to say this, but why is everyone so keen on (unofficial) firmware and then expecting wonders? No one needs Android 4.0.x or 4.1.x on an SGS right now.
If you just want a stable, fast and almost lag-free running SGS then you should install one of the better 2.3.6 StockROMs (JVU or JW4(a little less stable but more memory)), add an optimized kernel like semaphore (stock color, not big mem version) and maybe even change the filesystem to ext4.
At least for now forget the 4.x hype, be a man, have balls and laugh at others thinking you being "uncool".
A SGS configured this way without garbage apps could run precisely like a swiss watch.

Thats what im doing now....jb roms are to laggy.no sounds,no vibration,fc and other things.
Doesn't matter which jb Rom.no one of them is perfect.
Better a good "old" system than a "half".

Hi
i tested gb 2.3.6 jw1 (is the best gb rom), ics cm9 and jb mackay rom. In my opinion jb is the best rom.
In GB all runs slowly, but stabil. It looks lame and old. but some people like it. I hated the performance with wlan and internet. Slower then this isnt possible. Any ICS and JB Rom is faster in this point.
CM9 runs very nice, but some games need hours to start, dont know why. I think some internet validation things needs to long. Ok after some hours my phones needed a restart, but this takes only about 3 min, then you can go on.
Mackay is super smooth, some games work even better then with cm9. Only Wlan is in this weak. But the rest is awesome. So i prefer to JB!
On all roms i had about 200 apps installed mostly games and used link2sd with a partition on my external sd. So it was always slower then a pure rom.

That's exactly the difference. I also have about 150 apps installed - but almost _no_ games, furthermore nothing moved to SD! And with XXJVU - IMHO the most stable so far - I was not counting in hours but had no restart / FC in 2-3 months.
Everybody has to make his/her own decision - my SGS is no gameboy for me, I use it for daily life and it has to run smoothly and without problems. If your phone hangs unnoticed and you couldn't get an important call then it's a lame excuse that the phone could have been rebootet within a minute when in fact it's dead until noticed by pure luck.
I'm therefore even tempted to move from actual SauROM JW8 back to JW4 or my beloved JVU ... but of course stability is not only a matter of the OS but - as Android unfortunately isn't able to catch all faults / errors - of app updates as well.
Yeah You right about GB , i remember like maybe year or two ago when "darkyrom" crue uploaded their gb roms every single day and SGS was so fast.
Now all JB roms are lagy for me and i'm going to flash old good Ginger Bread and i want to see a difference.
If there is any difference.
Anyway thanx a lot for answers i've learned something and good night every1.
I'm running cm9 with devil kernal. Its awesome.
The only reason why I don't use gb now is because and this is lame but with cm9 I can video record with my front camera....which my daughter loves....well we both do lol.

I give vote for GB too. I tried lots of ICS and JB roms, and all happen to have some bugs, not very important bugs, but some that annoys me. I always used them for few days at most then got back on GB.
At the moment I am on JW4 GB, with Semaphore 2.7.4, and all seems to work nice, Well of course there is lag here and there, but i am on smartass gouverner and i didnt overclock CPU, its on stock 1GHz. So maybe with performance gouverner and overclocked CPU, it wouldnt have lags at all.
Also I really love GB because of stock camera app, stock music player, and sliding thing for calling and messaging. If you need some more information, be free to ask
It will still lag if you OC and choose any other governer....even with lagfix (ext4) conversion.
Not that bad tho.
I just flashed back to gb jw4 with semaphore 2.7.4.....to play with it again.
Anyone know if you can use the filesystem of cm9 on gb? May be a stupid question but its just a thought.

Last 8 months of my i9000;
First 3 months was a slim ics fan
Then fourth and fifth,Elite's ics roms...
6th and 7th months,JB user(cm10/slim bean/elite's gnexus)
Now (since like 1,5 months ) I'm completely GB fan...
Even i can't believe this but ... Yes GB looks better in my opinion...
You know some people ask which is the best rom in Q section and everyone's answer is the same,"it depends how you're using)
GB is my style from now on...
In ics/JB there is something is missing that i really dont know what"s that....
Note:I'm on XXJVT with no root access (stock kernel) for about a month... And i'm veeeery happy with it ..

just install SLIMBEAN from XDA its awesome... I'm using this from last 2 months and really no problem at all.. its smooth fast and stable..
and once you get use to it you will never go back to any other rom even your stock..because apps open very quickly and its to compact also only 70 mb... and one more thing battery life is almost same..as stock ROM
I am on the latest CM10 nightly with the JB semaphore kernel, no overclock, bigmem enabled, and I have honestly found it to be the best most responsive ROM I have used on the phone to date.
Previous to that I was using the stable release of CM9 with semaphore, and while it wasn't perfect in terms of lag, it was rock solid stable and reliable. I would use this for your girlfriend if I was you (as I am assuming she isn't as tech savvy as yourself, so best to stay away from nightlies). I'm sure she won't even notice a little bit of lag. And the usability of ICS compared to GB is, in my opinion, dramatically better. Just uninstall all the development apps before giving it to her.
All roms can be a second slower than some, that's just expected. I recommend just getting her something up to date and clock it up to 1104 Mega Hurts if the screen doesn't freeze on it if you do.

Using X-Bean 3.0 + Semaphore 2.5.0s on a daily base. Running smooth & stable here. LiveOc 120, big mem 404mb, ondemand ui, rasd 1024, sio/noop. Not had a single reboot, lag etc whatsoever
I'm a noob when it comes to Android roms and such.
I have a rooted samsung galaxy s infront of me now but I have a question.
I have read that a lot of roms disable a couple of original features, like the google play store, video camera etc.
Now my question; Is there a custom rom that gives you anything like android 4.0+ for example with no features being lost?
Yes I have heard about CM but I read that it does remove a couple of features which I need..
What features will you miss? Play store and video work perfectly on cm10 and 10.1 based ROMs plus they trend to have lots of extra features compared to stock. I'm running Mackay ROM based on jelly bean 4.2 (cm 10.1) with semaphore kernel. Stable and really fast.

I'm using RemICS-JB_4.2 , and for me it is very stable and fast, UI is from SGS3, worth to try...
The mackay rom is very good
So it's just a myth that you will lose some stock functions? Don't trust me on my word but I think I've read that it removes HD filming or something.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
You can enable xl ram (around 400 mb) in some kernels such as semaphore and devil which can mean you loose hd video, but by default it is disabled in almost all ROMs. So if you leave ram alone it's not a problem and I still have 720p video. Tbh there is a patch now that makes 720 work with big ram anyhow, but I manage just fine with the 389mb standard with semaphore so I haven't tested this.

So Semaphore kernel and CM as ROM leaves all normal features intact? Perfect. Just one last question; a lot of people prefer CM9 over CM10. Any specific reason for this?

Because CM9 is more stable. CM10 requires more resources to run on our old phones.You might not get enough RAM.I also noticed some games force closed on CM10.But they all work nicely in CM9.
Thanks for the answers.
Something popped in my head so that leaves me with 1 more question; I currently have hardcore speedmod kernel and I did the lagfix (transfer to EXT4) and it took some SD space of course. Now before I go to Semaphore kernel should I first somehow uninstall the lagfix? And how?
Thanks!

This is becoming less of an issue as development goes on but it is a factor to consider. I have to overclock cpu to get high end games to work. But you can't even install most of them on stock 2.3 so depends what you're after. I prefer the extra features that cm 10.1 gives. Can always flash to cm9 stable and give it a go and then upgrade from there, sensible to go to cm9 then 10 anyhow. You will have to full wipe between 9 and 10 though. So titanium backup is the best app you will ever install.

I'll just loan this thread a bit because I have a similar situation. I've only changed ROMs few times and I'm kinda noob myself too. I'm looking for a fast and stable ROM. Few days ago I installed ELITEMOVILS:s 4.2.1 galaxy nexus stock rom. It's good but cant get the wifi working properly so I thought I'd try another one. Should I go for JB 4.1.2 or for 4.2.1? Are the 4.1.2 releases more stable and is there a big difference in features and speed? Also battery life is quite important factor for me when choosing ROM (BTW has anyone found a good replacement battery with longer battery life than the stock one?). I dont update ROMs that frequent so it would be important that the release would be stable and functioning.
Slim Roms are pretty lightweight 4.2.1 beta 1 for me has been pretty stable and responsive. I also downloaded and flashed Semaphore 2.9.0s afterwards.

4.1.2 should be more stable than 4.2.1 as its been developed longer and even has gotten the official stable version released.
4.2 does bring some new features like all new releases but not as major as for example 4.1 brought, for this reason Google decided to keep the Jellybean name for the newer version.
Regarding battery life your best bet is a Gingerbread ROM, but frankly I'm satisfied with my CM10 in that regard.
I'm using a Pisen 1700mAh battery, and its very good for its price,I bought it from Deal Extreme, but be careful to research a battery before buying any, most of them are horrible and can even break your phone in some cases.
It's been said an official 1800mAh battery meant for the Epic 4g (Carrier-locked Samsung Galaxy S2) fits our phone even though it's thicker; I just bought one myself, but it's being shipped from the US and I'm in Norway so it'll be a week before I could confirm that myself...
The Wi-Fi issue with 4.2 is known and pawitp had released a fix for it, I don't know if the current nightlies from the CM team have incorporated it

Thread closed. Everytime I see a "Best ROM/kernel thread, I die a little inside.
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.

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
Howdy,
I tried a jelly bean rom yesterday. It was a horrible experience, it was laggy, slow, and almost unusable. I had to go back to an ICS Miui that I was happy with. I have a question as to if there is a way to figure out why it was so horrible. I tried CM 10 but no major change in what happens. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Id like to run somehting a bit newer as a couple of apps want me to go forward to run properly. Trash if its been discussed. Thanks
I9000 jelly bean is not perfect because of it's slow memory. For example i9001 has faster memory, and it's almost like official jb
Sent from my GT-P5100 using XDA Premium HD app
i would disagree. my i9000 has that old, slow memory and it runs on jelly bean without any problems. yeah, jelly bean requires more ram, and most of the apps are more demanding, so when you multitask, it can be an issue. but again, it can be solved, with a bit of tweaking.
my phone is on slim bean 4.2 rc2 and semaphore 2.9.10s. i freeze all system apps which i don't use or need. it runs lagfree and without any problems, and i can even multitask with cca 4 apps without slowdowns.
Thanks. I just dont know why it was soo terrible, my friends phone which is with in 30 phones of mine according to the serial number, runs without a hitch. Mine was unusable. Ill just wait a while to see what becomes of things rom wise. Hoping to try a couple builds to see if it goes tits up again or not.
Maybe you didn't flash it correctly? Cause that's strange, I've got the old nand (or moviNAND) i9000 and all Jelly Bean ROMs run almost lagless. Of course there are some laggs when scrolling the menu for the first time or closing a big app, but everything else is just butter. Try doing all of those wipes and formats before flashing

Of course there are some laggs when scrolling the menu for the first time or closing a big app, but everything else is just butter. Try doing all of those wipes and formats before flashing

Slow nand here and jelly bean, running buttery smooth. Maybe only a 2 or 3 seconds of lag when I close a game like dead trigger or something.
I think jelly bean could be as far as the gt-i9000 goes though, skeptical about KLP running nice on it. Lucky I got an N7
I only had the money to get an n7 because this phone is still good. And that's thx to the devs.

Try HellyBean Rom....:beer: Perfect Rom for slow NAND devices.

I'm running 4.2.1 without a problem, and my I9000 had the slow nand.
Granted, I've got so little available ram I'm lucky to have three apps running at the same time, but whatever ^^

Howdy,
I tried a jelly bean rom yesterday. It was a horrible experience, it was laggy, slow, and almost unusable. I had to go back to an ICS Miui that I was happy with. I have a question as to if there is a way to figure out why it was so horrible. I tried CM 10 but no major change in what happens. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Id like to run somehting a bit newer as a couple of apps want me to go forward to run properly. Trash if its been discussed. Thanks

Bro, try to flash ROM 4.2.2 Xylon and Semaphore kernel 2.9.10.s, personally for me (of course in this moment) it is the best combination, faster than other and with very good baterry life. I flashed mostly all ROM, but Xylon is the best for me!
