ICS - does it run better than GB on the i9000?

Still on stock GB, any benefits to an ICS rom (either slim or 333) vs latest stock or even a modified stock like Dmore ?
Is the battery better or worse?
How about the stability?
Looking to not have to update frequently and just be stable as the first build I flash.
Thanks

I have running Dmore now for about two weeks, rock stabel and fast.
Battery depends on the modem i use but it's also very good.

Nothing is better than stock or stock based roms in terms of functionality.
Ics roms have several minor bugs.
And doesn't have as much functions as gb stock based roms.
I found it kinda annoying. So I'm on xxjw4.
And yes ics roms do have good battery life. Just like most gb roms with different kernels. Try it out and see the difference if you're feeling bored with gb.
I suggest cm9

well I'm a gb fanboy myself, but that sounds a bit too much...
at least, you get wifi direct, don't know how much useful it is right now, but you get it.
cm9 has much more functions than cm7, but yes, I do prefer stock gb with tw UI much better as well.

ics advantages:
hardware acceleration(buttery smooth scrolling),smooth ui
some new features like rotation anim,new status bar layout,new modifications n all....
3d performance is better...
new user interface...somehow is better then ginger bread...like side scrolling in dialer contacts n all
disadvantages:
bad battery no matter what rom you use as compared to gb
media scanning bug(except for cm9)but for me no matter what i do..cm9 eats battery like hell
media scanning refers to the doublets or triplets in gallery...it happens eventually in almost all the roms...except for cm9...
not fully stable...some minor errors,biggest of which is media scan bug..
tip:
if you wanna stay with gingerbread stability and awesome battery life but you want ics stuffs too...get latest cm7 nightly and flash devil 0.08 kernel...and ics notification layout...n yup latest cm7 nightly contain rotation animation and battery is awesome...and trust me with devil kernel...scrolling is 95 percent as smooth as in ICS..
so in a way you can get ICS stuffs by using cm& gingerbread...
go to this thread if you want ICS on your CM7

I've been on Dmore3.3 since it was released and its very snappy, no bugs, ics themed. I prefer it over the ics roms available, stability is key for me. The developer actually just got swipe to remove notifications working on this rom. And battery life is awesome.

In which version?How sure are you..?Will it give a problem with other roms?

Slim ICS 4.2 or f4k mod (latest) both with devil kernel as long as they have your preferred language. both of those roms are „slim“ mostly due to removed languages and other bloat and therefor have a tiny RAM footprint. Smaller compared to CM9 and the like.
This small RAM footprint is the main reason those ROMs won't get laggy after some usage and feel smooth and fast when opening apps and while multitasking. I've tried many many ROMs including some JB ones but none of them come close to the one mentioned at the beginning.

+1 For Slim Ics+ Semaphore

SlimIcs 4.2 (final version) + Semaphore 1.3.0s (bigmem) + V6 supercharger script atleast has given me good battery life and performance without errors/problems for a good while now

Looking for a ICS ROM for the pragmatic (upgrading from GB)

Dear community,
I was lurking the forums for the past couple of weeks looking for a stable JB ROM to migrate away from GB. Unfortunately my time was more or less wasted because the JB ROMs are still in infancy, struggling with the most basic problems like connectivity, memory leaks. Not to speak about the battery time.
So now that it is clear an upgrade to JB is far away, I would like to ask you for your guidance: what ROM would you recommend someone who puts the priorities as follows:
- rock solid
- usage: emailing, scheduling, browsing, reading, music playing / streaming; no gaming at all, no social networking
- would like a very smooth / fluid UI operation (I currently use Launcher Pro)
- need a kernel that allows oveclocking / undervolting; using AbyssNote 4.2 currently. I have a rock solid voltage table for every frequency between 200 and 1600 MHz
- I don't care about thousands upon thousands of customization features, the simpler the better and more stable
Please help... I lurked enough, I just feel lost, the S/N ration is so incredibly bad
Thank you :fingers-crossed:

Why don't you simply upgrade to stock ICS and flash a safe kernel? With Hydracore, stock ICS is butter smooth but less battery backup. With speedmod, battery backup is comparable to GB.

i guess the most stable ROM is the stock ICS 4.0.4
with hydracore 5.4 OC

Why don't you try Crash ROM v10.1? It's an improved stock rom, very very smooth and it allows to you to taste the TW of S3 give it a try mate!
P.s.: obv with HydraCore 5.4 OC! Don't forget to give a thanks to g.lewarne

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried as follows:
- CleaNote 6.00 which is more or less a stock ICS 4.0.4. I find it to be way too slow (much more slower than GB), even with everything not required disabled (frozen by Titanium). Kernel used: HydraCore 5.4
- Crash 10.1 (non plus) with the stock kernel it comes with: must be trimmed down, lots of stuff I don't need, feels much more fluid / responsive. Various small issues (can't read /data and /system/app, older CWR, a few forced closes), bloated Phone.apk and some other integrated features I don't like to carry around. I think it's a very good ROM that just got too loaded, but that's what the folks want nowadays, so heck, my problem. I have to try it with other kernels.
Still looking for my dream post GB ROM :angel:

May I suggest Rocket ROM version 11? Truth be told, my Note has only seen 2 ROMs - it came with JellyCore v2 which had multiple issues, so I researched heavily and ended up flashing Rocket ROM v 11 which comes by default with HydraCore 4.3. It is (allegedly) very similar to the stock ROM and with some really useful additions (e.g. call recording) baked in. I'm a rather picky and a heavy user and this ROM has not made me think: "gah, I have to try something else, because...". It just works.

[Q] Which JB Rom???

Ok guys, i'm not new to xda, and flashing phones, unlocking, rooting, and everything, but i just got this phone few days ago and it has stock 4.0.4 rom and i heard that JB 4.2 has better performance than 4.0.4 and i see a lot of JB roms out here but i can't decide which one is better??? So my question is what JB rom to try??? I need everything working as on stock 4.0.4 but i need your opinion which one to try??? Every comment is appreciated and everyone will get a thanx... My goal is to have everything working without major problems as on stock 4.0.4 but if possible with better performance in games and multitasking... Just give any comments and links on what you think it is the best.... Thanx in advance!!!! :good:

First of all, if you're looking for a stable release, don't go for JB 4.2.x yet. It's still buggy (take a look at the threads)
If you're looking for a stable, smooth and fast Jelly Bean ROM, go for CM10 based ones. My preferate ones are (for now):
CyanGalOp : minimalistic CM10 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40337909
and
ParanoidAndroid CM10 : Full featured CM10 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807
If you realy look for Jelly Bean 4.2.2, then the following one should be considered:
Avatar ROM : Verry interresting one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167192
It's my actual own choice until other ROMs pass behind (life is like that).
BUT : Don't forget that till now, if you go for JB you will loose your ICS features like : FM Radio and correct HDMI output.

Paranoid Android!

"Best" is always going to be relative...
For one thing, if you can't / won't unlock the bootloader, then your choice is limited to stock kernel ROMs.
Otherwise (non-stock kernel)

PrimeHD is a possible stand-out, implementing 3MP camera capability - still getting to grips myself, but I understand some others only support VGA resolution - not checked them all!
I'd like to hit jellybean myself, but I'd settle for a good Gingerbread (2.3)
NB. Phone original is 2.1 (Eclair)
Those based on CM6 sources are 2.2 (Froyo) - usually stock kernel
CM7 = 2.3 (Gingerbread) - some are stock kernel, some are custom
CM9 = 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich - ICS)
CM10 = 4.1 (JellyBean) - only a couple on this
Good list here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240
I think I'm heading to either PrimeHD for the camera implementation, or one of the two Jellybean ROMs
But as with all ROM choices, an overall best is impossible - I've chopped everything below Gingerbread 2.3 - as it's one of the main application support limits - it's not clear if going to 4.1 actually gets many more apps, as the next sticking point is often 4.4 - so I don't care how smooth and silky a 2.1 or 2.2 is.
PS. Also worth looking into a number of possibilities that share the same kernel (some support more than one custom kernel) as it's less hassle to change ROMs when you keep the same kernel.
