Hi everyone!

I vote for this.
but if you don't use any video recording, CM9-Kang by owain already can be used for daily.
it's fast & stable enough if using default config.
I'm pretty happy with what I have in my sig.
However, I would test drive the phone for a couple of weeks if I were you. There have been users reporting very bad battery life that returned the phone and got a much better one.
So personally I would test-drive every functionality of the phone: 3G, wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc and make sure everything is working fine before going for "warranty voiding activities"

Thats also what i'm using right now, also with ironkrnL (80 uv-log-su-rld), Chainfire3D and my own sd-fix. But in cause of the missing hw acc, i posted the cm7 variant
+1 for cm7 kang by temasek (with stock kernel).
I dont see anyone talking about one of the best ROMs with all custom like features with excellent smoothness and best performance....Django ROM with Stefan's or Spica's Kernel....it virtually flies...
try it man....you will know
Anybody can give me the link for iron kernel for cm7. Thank u

watch the flag system!
You have to change the filename before flashing, i recommend to NOT use "jrnl"!
And never flash it with touch-cwm, it would kill your system/data partitions.

What is the difference between etena kernel? which one has longest battery time ?
To me hei1125 does an awesome work with ICS (CM9). His rom is called Nova HD Plus.

i never used etana kernel yet, so i can't tell.
i just know that "setiron" (the dev of ironkrnL) defo knows what he does.
I use MIUI, perfect look and very fast ROM, but you loose your FM-radio.
Good support- every Weekend a new update.
1st choice!

I guess question was about fastest and most stable ROM, not about "stable and fast enough". ICS on P990 is highly unstable for now. I'm using ICS for daily use and i don't complain, but there's always something that isn't working as it suppouse to. So at this moment CM7 isn't only more stable then ICS, it's faster too. Android 4.0 doeasn't even have hw acceleration yet.

Agreed, at this moment CM7 is much more stable and also faster, i tried CM9 but some apps didn't work and sometimes the phone was getting slow all of the sudden not to mention the browser was always crashing, im using CM7 now and its so fast and stable
You can use CM7 and see it flying, but without some of the phone features, like video call (I'm not talking about Skype or viber, just the native one), smart share, divx, hdmi video resize... Or you can try one of stock roms with the great kernels from here and have a full phone.

Thanks for all the replies. Will try out soon. Also, I have noticed that the battery life for the optimus 2x is so bad! With stock froyo last night, after just about 2hrs of some wifi and games, the battery has already gone down to 15%!!! That's how bad it is!
Is this normal? Should I return the phone to the store?
Also, will the gingerbread update and/or custom rom flashing bring about better life for the battery?

DjangoManouche 1.1 is highly recommended with V20q baseband and HP SR3R2 Kernel. After trying out many stock variants, Modaco ROMS, Thanatos and CM ROMS, I finally settled on this one as it has resolved all the issues I had with the phone and gives good battery and network performance.
Hi
I know there is no official ICS ROM but i know that people have ported it off other devises so it works on the s+,
I was wondering...
A) is it worth it e.g. are they stable and fast
And B) which is the best, again most stable and fast.
Thanks
As far as I know there are only two stable ics roms - arco's cyanogenmod 9 port and miui v4 which i havent tried, but its based on cm9, so they should have the same bugs. I'm currently using cm9, and its ok for everyday use.
Here are the links:

Try ICS333, I havent personally tried it but in the wifi options there is an option called "Portable wifi Hotspot", im pretty sure it should do the job

Thanks. cm9 has the option as well, it just doesn't work
Thanks all!
but i was on a s3, and i was wondering is there a port of that because that is slick and has s-talk!!
thanks
P.S. by the looks of it cmod looks the best but was is up with the camera??
Someone must know of an ICS i9000 ROM that supports wifi tethering?!
Update
I have tried a lot of Custom ROMS. I found CM9 Acro the best. Now even Camera is working fine (Front, Back and Video recording @ lower resolution).
MUIU v4 is good, similar to IOS. Lot of bugs. (best part they are reducing everyday).
Paranoid Andriod Ecsatcy is a Tablet like Rom. Can try for a completely different feel.
RemICS is also good with Apex launcher. Need some small fixes though.
Ehndroix is again a good one. Lot of fixes. Can also try it.
Now a days there is lot of work going on so i am happy to see even work progressing on Jelly Bean as well.
hope this helps. Cheers.
I would say the cm9 by arco is the best i've tested.

The best ICS Rom?
In my opinion cyanogenmod 9 is the best ICS Rom and there is a offical "stable" version! I tried the nightly builts for 3 months and had no problems.
Now I'm on cm10 and im missing the stability of cm9.
Aloha!
I'm a newbie here, just registered after a long term consultation of this goldy resource.
I actually have CM7 with [email protected] #1 kernel and I damn love it, but i love to test everything i can (i used MIUI for several months, and i changed to cm after the support removing for this device).
I'm not writing just to introduce myself here and thank everybody for the passive support you gave me through the threads I rode here, but to have infos or rumors about the best CM9 based (official or not) stable ROM released and tested 'cause i'm thinking to have an upgrade
Sorrying for my bad english
I salute you all

I've been using CM9 for almost a month now, and my only complaints are occasional force closes and the need to reboot every once in a while. If you want your phone stable and fast, keep it with CM7. CM9 is very good and also fast, but not as stable. The problem is, once you try it, you'll have a hard time going backwards.
Hard time for what?
Isn't enough to backup anything and flash the phone in order to restore a backup did with cwm??
What's failing with cm9 that make you to do a reboot? And how often?
What version of cm9 are u using ?

Hi.
I think rockaroller says that you need free time to do backups and restores. CM9 is innestable and need reboot frequently. the best of newbe is CM7 or V20q.
When you know what a nandroid, because we have no hardware acceleration in CM9, a kernel and I do not think you should do to get into "beta" as CM9
I'm sorry for my bad english too.

I said you'll have a hard time going backwards because ICS brings a way better user experience than GB or Froyo.
In what comes to backing up your data and restoring it again, there are no problems. And you can flash GB or Froyo anytime you want.
EDIT: typo fixing.
Do those issues apply to every CM9 ROMs?
What are the known issues apart from lack of hw acceleration?

The problems with CM9, at least for me, are related to the camera and enabling or disabling data. About the camera, it's because the lack of media acceleration, so it's completely understandable. When it comes to enabling or disabling data, I do it very often - sometimes when I disable it, I can't enable it back, and that forces me to restart my phone equally often. But, as I said before, the better user experience makes up for it.
I'm trying nova rebuild - a cm9 rom based - to now I think it's the best rom I've tried..
Little drained battery.. But I'm not working on undervolt and similar.. O change kernel..
My 2 cents
Inviato dal mio LG-P990 con Tapatalk 2
so Nova seems stable uhm...
I'alla wait for the cm9 release for my device U.U
Thx anyway ppl

Good night ,
A friend of mine asked me to install a ROM on his i9001. The phone is completely stock.
I'm not asking for the best ROM available, because i know that that it's against the forum rules .. I just want to know which ROM as less bugs, because my friend doesn't understand anything about this, and if something goes wrong , he's going to blame me lol.
Please help me

Ginger revenge
Basically all functions work in GB, ICS and JB, but the only real difference is how AWESOME GPS works on GB, and how terrible it works on ICS/JB.
And the roms which are mentioned are idd the best options, you also could try broodROM Business Edition, but it's not as dated as Gigabread and Gingerrevenge
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923279
Ginger Revenge, i´m realy satisfied with it
You can use my ROM , you will not regret it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143035
I suggest GingerRevenge for GB(RC3)
ARCO 68's CM9 for ICS(RC5)
Ivendor's CM10 for JB (beta 2)
Kernels:
GB:feacore (Jack of all traits!)
Skyhigh (super performance)
ICS:Broodplank kernel
JB: ErikMOD kernel(performance+++)
Diablo333 kernel
Nexus kernel
Device model:SGS+ (i9001)
Recovery:TWRP 2.4.1.0
baseband version:XXXPF
Current ROM:CM10 by ivendor beta 1
Best ROMs ever:
1.GB: GingerRevenge by hiej
2.ICS: CM9 by arco68 RC4
3.JB: ivendor CM10 beta 1
After testing almost all roms my suggestion as of now is
Slim rom
Eric mod

I used to like the Endroix ( CM9 ), but the Dev has stopped the further development on that and the last version got some random reboot issues.
and if you are referring to Ehndroix II , I dont have a good impression on it from start, I do agree that look wize its the Best available,but performance wize its not stable.
CM10 is still buggy, and adding application on top of that will not help,
As of now only GB is stable to work with ,u can use either Ginger Revenge (using it now) or Gigabread+ .

Hi,
I´am using PAC-man ROM, but there are few problems. Bluetooth and brightness.
But is is good ROM and I have a question.
It´s better Lacoste or PAC-man? Both using android 4.2.2 so I can´t decided.
Thx for your advice

Lacoste does not have the bluetooth issue and is a quite stable ROM.. but with Lacoste you won't get the various UI modes which PACman offers; neither the AOKP customization options.. Further if you install v21 - it does not have bluetooth issue;
So you need to decide whether you want eye candies or fully functional ROM.. I am myself on PACman and since I do not use bluetooth much: I am fine the way it is.. have been using it since it was released..

I am saying that if you move to v21, then bluetooth issue is not there so far as I remember; if you encounter that, check the jellytime ROM page; there is a bluetooth fix.. it works on all the 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 ROMs except the latest version,22, of PACman

now you are being greedy
so far as i understand, there is no major difference between v21 and v22.. in v22, latest PAC code has been synced.. users say battery life is better (i haven't observed much change though)..
other option is that you wait for blindndumb to release a new version with the fix

Switched to lacoste after using PacMan for a while and will stick to lacoste...prefer having a nice stable working ROM than a few tweaks that ill eventually get bored of.
And pretty happy with the lacoste experience.
Hm.. Lacoste is slower.. but really, really slower. PACman is nr. 1
Please stop making these "Which ROM is better thread?" This is all opinion based. On top of that its very offensive to developers who put a lot of their time away to create ROMs. Please try out the ROMs yourself and look at what other people have to say about the ROM in the respective ROM threads.
