What ICS-Rom is good for daily use

Hey guys,
I'm reading a lot of posts regarding ICS-Roms and I'm confused:
Which one should I flash onto my SGS if I want the most stable experience?
Thanks for your kind help

DK3 + Devil2 0.67 kernel
I use DarkKnight 3 (not 4 which is buggy) with Devil2 0.67 kernel and all works just great! Form me its perfect for daily use in terms of stability and usability. No issues at all. But you may want to try yourself which rom works best for you...

try AOKP B32 with semaphore kernel...
its a gr8 rom... not found any bugs so far

infinitum
I just started using infinitum and very happy with it.
Installation of the roms is quite simple and straightforward so you could easily try a bunch out and make your own mind.

Slim ICS, Elite,Doc's

Cm9 nightly

Been trying to decide between CM9 nightly and SLIM ICS.
Right now I feel Slim a litle faster and lighter (with semaphore BM kernel is really great).

Remix all the Way
This is the best ROM I have ever tested

My Hat goes off
only niggle I have is the boot animation strobe - a little too aggressive

I am on CM9 latest build and have no problems so far. I was on Darky rom before with lagfix enabled.

+1 The Infinitum v2 currently based on B31 is really great and keeps the battery happy. (With semaphore 1.0.0s) Check it out, some claim it the best ICS AOKP rom out.

I have to say from my experience one cosmics ICSSGS RC 4.1 or 4.2 is perfect. I have had very few problems and it proper stock Ics which I love, I find all the added extras just make problems.

Iv been on and off teamhacksung's cm9 since build 9 and since build 14 iv been using it as a daily. iv got absolutly no complaints it is a great rom and now with the nightlys it is getting better and better. Im a big follower in the cm series but best thing to do us read some of the development forums and see wich tickles your fancy

I'm currently on ICSSGS 4.2 with Semaphore 0.9.7. I do work, play games, text, chat, etc..
Only grief I have with my phone right now is the GPS is borked. In some apps.
Can't wait for RC5 though. It's supposed to just rock!

Easy.
Latest CM9 Nightly. So damn good. Fast as a running cat! GPS works just fine, wifi works fine.
I'm also using Infinitys blue theme over that so it's pretty awsome!

Slim ICS is the best one I ever tried. Strongly recommend mate.

agreed...though i use 0.67b

CM9 nightly 14.04 with devil 0.67 is the best for me.

I think Slim ICS 3.3 with 0.67 devil kernel

Some Problems with my O2X

Hi I have MIUI [GB] 2.4.6 running and have a few problems, not sure if its related to the rom
1. The accelerometer sensor doesnt seem to work properly in Temple Run.
2. Some times the data connection is lost and I have to manually select network again. Phone calls are fine. Baseband 824
And is there camera mod working for MIUI roms for better quality?

as for the camera i would advise to try 360 camera free from the market, as for the other issues, i would advise you to get cm7 or a stock based rom with a good kernel, or maybe just try updating the baseband, i think its a bit old and a new kernel might help you

Any recommended kernels for MIUI?

Definitely latest etana beta kernel.

Thanks, Im trying this 1205060954-ETaNa_STOCK_OTF-3.0.y.zip
IS this the recommnded out of the 4?

Its based on your preference you have stock /no oc/, OC, and with DS batery driver. Based on the date you havent flashed beta but stable.

I'm having the same problem as yours! So did the kernel work for you?

[Q] Best CM9/Kernel combo

Hi,
After using Temaseks kangs with the Etana kernel, i'm going to try CM9.
What is the best, most stable combination of CM9 rom and kernel for daily use ? Or is it all still too unstable ?
thx

For me it's owain rom, with spica's latest beta test kernel, awesome battery life, and the most responsive and fast combo i've came across, after testing all of them

I use JARVIS kernel with cm9. Working awesome. So smooth and responsive.
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2

He asked about stability and everyone posts about smoothness and battery life?
On topic: I used Nova briefly (latest build as of 1st June) with it's included Kernel but experienced weird flickering dialogs, and a BSOD.. enough to put me back to a GB based.
I then tried the WIUI ROM, and man that has surpassed my expectations.. very stable once I changed the lock screen.

Greetings..
Using XXMrHyde's No.5 ROM and JARVIS-5 as kernel...No problem at all..
For first time my mob is TOP fully working..
Just 2 days ago,changed my bb to v20s(521) and RIL to 405(v10b,Europe)
----> great result..
Cheers..

[Q] which ICS ROM for samsung galaxy S i9000

Hey guys im new to XDA but im a pretty old with the rooting stuff
So till now i've been using the stock 2.3.4 and wanna switch to custom ics rom
Im thinking to go for Dark Knight 5.5.. which one do you suggest?
Thanks

Try ICSSGS
I've been using Onecosmic's ICSSGS ROM for a long time and it has been great for me.
Its really stable and fast.
Also i use Devil kernel for this ROM. And its increases battery life and speed through the roof.
May be you can try it out too.

Slim ics!!!!!! Best rom ever....
Send from my Galaxy S with Slim ICS 3.9 + Semaphore 1.2.2

Team NYX ICS V5 is the best...best battery and speed among all the available custom ROM

I would recommend CM9. it has constant updates. but if you want a very stable release and you don't want to update it once every 2 weeks, you should stay with a custom rom of gingerbread.

depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you want something special i would take the paranoidandroid rom and if you want a simple and clean rom take slim ics !

CM9 is the best ever

elite v1.3 with devil kernel

I'm with these dudes.

i'd recommend docs master v12 with the latest semaphore. i've been running this combo since v12 came out and i had no problem at all. do a clean install in you can forget about fc's and lags.

Hi, I use the ICS333 but to get a rom you like you nide try many roms

Get the Galaxy S3 look!
Hi
Try Slimrom (http://code.google.com/p/slimics39/downloads/list) as it is small in file size and then use AOKP add-on (http://www.mrmad.net/samsung-addon-packet-cm9-i9000-im-sgs3-look-2105) to upgrade your android. This runs Android 4.0.4 and looks and sounds like the new Galaxy S3 with some of the apps etc! Works good on my phone!

I don't stay with any ROM for more then two days ! Have tried almost all roms out there. Happy and next day, disdained , disappointed.
Last 3 days with TIGER ROM.
Record for me. Not that I am compromising or anything but cannot even find one bug so far !
Amazing ROM ! Even find camera faster and with a Timer !
Check it out bro !

Same.
but you have to know that the the ICS roms are some kind of beta or nightly (like CM9).
But if you want a very stable and energy saving rom you should stay on Gingerbread (my opinion). I use CM7 (based on Android 2.3.7) and it is the best rom I tested in the last time.
Else Slim seems to be a good rom - especially after the last updates (4.0 brings some good bugfixes and features).

Sorry. There is nothing about stability on gingerbread. It is very unpredictable ROM. Sometimes great and at times lagging and the screen goes black cause it's "thinking!" And also when it syncs , evening slows down !

Tiramislim with midnight.. amazing combo
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

many people here recommend slim ics.. try out "tiramislim". it's bades on slim with a vew cool features. with aroma-installer you can modify it easy without flashing the rom new. on my device, it runs with the devil3 kernel veerry well.

I am running the Remics V1.1, and it's very stable, no bugs.

[SOLVED] Kernel recommendation for Jellybam ROM (CM10.1)

Hey guys,
currently running Jellybam 5.2.0 on my phone (JB 4.2.1), a great ROM, however I am not that content with the Kernel (which is CM kernel).
Games ran better and smoother on the stock ICS ROM with stock Kernel, also I got better scores on Quadrant.
Can you guys recommend an alternative Kernel that I can use with this ROM? Already tried HydracoreNirvana n6 and it got stuck at boot screen.
Thanks in advance

Guys I need some help...also very sorry if this is a nooby question...

Performance of stock kernels will be better than normal cm kernel.
Try rhythm kernel, you can overclock it...
