Well, and what else

Running stock at the moment, had no problems' very snappy.

I like Paranoid Android but almost all are very similar and the devs have done a great job on all the ROMs.

Used codename android and then it became slightly buggy. Running XenonHD and it's smooth and stable. Loving it right now.
Will have to see when 4.2 ROMs get uploaded but so far Xenon finally removed the blue grids around home screens while moving. Left over from tablet UI and I just hate it and CNA still has it.. Don't want to use alternative launchers either.

I feel they are all about the same. PA really is in a league of it's own if you want to utilize their features.
I jump around every few months/weeks. Basically waiting for 4.2 to drop at this point.

AOKP when I feel like tweaks
For performance, eos or rasbean ever since I've learnt to tweaks and theme things myself, I have been not needing the tweaks of ROMs like AOKP
Resbean for now, zip aligned, odexed, tweaked up and super fast

I wanna try RasBean, any bugs so far?

You should change the question as "best rom/kernel combination" since rom's pretty much depend on the kernels to perform well.. Franco R25 is the best so far for my taste and Glazed rom is the pair..

Stable/smooth ICS Rom

hey, i just got a nexus s 4g (sprint). I was wondering what ICS roms are most stable and quick? There are quite a few and i was just wondering what people thought. I just want a rom for everyday use, nothing too crazy, maybe OC and UV. but i dont want any with soft reboots or anything.
thanks
I would go with Crossbones

Does anyone read nowadays...
crossbones is good and stable but so is oics and gummy nexus. Gummy nexus has the software buttons like the galaxy nexus
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
My current favorite is AOKP Milestone 2, which has cool features above and beyond the rest and has presented Zero issues.
Vhgomez 1.5 and sph33r's aosp are very, very good as well.

Difference between CM9 and AOKP? Which do you prefer??? (Pros/Cons of each)

Is one better than the other? Which do you choose and why? Thanks guys

What that guy said.
Cm9 is more of a true stock ics experience. Aokp alows for more customization to the Rom

Exactly! No cons for either. Only difference is Aokp has tons of customizable options

Just to let everyone know both AOKP and CM9 are based off of the CM9 source as a starting point. As others have already said AOKP is more customize-able/configurable.
If you want a straight Nexus style experience go for CM9, if you want it to not be so stock Google, then go for AOKP.
You will not be disappointed in either one, they are both excellent!
Just for my personal opinion, I am an CM9 fan, and have been using CM since the version 3 days. I also like AOKP very much, but it is not quite that true stock android experience.
The one thing that keeps me on CM9 instead of AOKP are the notification toggles. Even after changing the settings in AOKP the toggles don't look quite as nice as in CM9. But then once I'm in CM9 I miss some other features. Just not enough to go back.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yeah everyone pretty much replied to your question.
I prefer cm9 because its a smaller footprint on the system. Its a lighter rom and I can notice a speed difference between aokp and cm9. Aokp has A LOT of customization but seems a tiny bit slower and buggy from MY experience.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I like both AOKP and CM9- they're great in their own ways.
AOKP has a few features I wish CM9 had (center clock, built-in MIUI-style battery bar, and the brightness slider) but otherwise they're close.
As many said, much of the work on AOKP was already done by CM9 contributors, as (unless I'm mistaken) AOKP basically forked from CM9, and continues to integrate code from it.
So as someone else said, if you want a Nexus-like experience, go with CM9, and if you want even more customization, go with AOKP.
Another nice feature on aokp is that you can set your service to switch from 3g to edge when the screen is off, which helps conserve a lot of battery
From my experience on the Nexus S, I find cm9 to feel a little smoother, faster and more stable while aokp has many many more bells and whistles. That being said, after using aokp for awhile I eventually switched back to cm9 for a more reliable experience.

Nexus 7 roms

So i just got a nexus 7 and i was looking at some of the roms you guys have over here and was wonder which ones you guys use and why? i have paranoid android on my s3 and love it but was having problems flashing it. what others do you suggest or are you a paranoid fan?

Paranoid is killer on the N7! I love it and I would definitely recommend trying it. I had no problems flashing it.

I currently use Jr7 simply because it is very similar to stock but with a few nice tweaks. This is used with Motley kernel with GPU @ 520mhz.

i am using the new paranoid that he posted today with the trinity kernel. i dont know how i feel about this kernel yet so if you guys have any other suggestions as for kernels id love to hear them. it just seems to be a little laggy but i dont know what else it could be. didnt have a problem before flashing that kernel.
id also love to hear what you guys think of the slim bean rom. im tempted, but i love the paranoid roms.
thanks for your responses!

A96 is 1.7. Otherwise agreed. As to ROM see sig.

Suggest some Roms for news to try

So I just got my nexus 7, and if course I rooted it the first day.I'm currently running Paranoid Android and love it so far. Just want to see if there are any other ones I would be trying.
Thanks in advance.

Trinity kernel thread
Sent from my HTC Incredible S
I've tried them all and I think that Kaos Droid is excellent. I use it with the Touchwiz theme (included) and it looks great. It's stable, fast, smooth and elegant.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'd say Paranoid Android is the rom you should use. Kaos Droid is not that good. I used it for 2 weeks and when I dumped it I understood what I lost.
Codename Android - stable, regular updates, and a decent sized download for a rom that includes a substantial number of extra features.
You will not get a fast rom. The only thing that can make a rom seem fast is sped up animation's or completely disabled wich you can do on any rom. To make anything faster you need to find a good kernel. There are lots of great oms and kernel out here. Have a try yourself and see what you like best.
I prefer paranoid android for the tablet ui. Along with faux kernel or trinity.

If you like Paranoid Android but want the large amount of customization that Codename Android offers, you could also try this ROM, which is a combination of Paranoid and Codename. It looks awesome and I'm planning on flashing this soon.

Thanks for all the great advice. I really like Paranoid Android, so I'll try Cookies and Cream.
I'll also try some of the kernels.
Thanks again.

I know that Dibblebill has tried Paranoid Android. He and everyone else who has done testing has found PA to be really slow. Both in FPS for games and I found it to have much more input lag than other ROMs.

I've heard this too (but haven't tested PA myself). If anything, I'd consider PA good on looks, not so good on performance (but not terrible either). I personally would rather have something that performs great, with customization as a second priority. Rasbeanjelly works great in this regard Take the performance even further, and then you have RasSaber (updated at a slower pace compared to rbj though). The Black/Blue theme going on looks pretty nice as well (to me anyway).
