Fastest rom

Long time XDA reader, first time poster...
I like speed and I am not a huge fan of eye candy...Who can recomend a rom that fits the bill? I did check out the Wiki but it seems to be out of date after checking rom threads.
EViO 1.3.1 seems to be the one so far.

For simplicity and speed ... hard to beat pure aosp ... Cyanogen Mod 6.

Then flash the snap kernel and you'll have the fastest rom.

I've been using cm6 for about a week and it's a great rom. I would be happier with better battery life, but oh well. It still lasts me all day and then some.
It's a real snappy rom too. I haven't noticed any lag at all since I've installed it. I'm also using one of King's kernels as well.
I've tested some others over the course of the week, and right away I noticed sluggishness in those other roms. I always end up flashing back to CM6 within an hour.

CM6 for the win
CM6 with some tweaks (see below) screams and gets pretty good battery life to boot with the right kernel. Also make sure that you have no corrupt/unsupported media files on your card as this causes "Media Server" service to constantly attempt to index/access the offending file.
My tweaks so far:
Market only (all other "gapps" not installed)
Standalone calander app that doesn't sync to anything (using AnCal at the moment)
Lightweight launcher (using Zeam at the moment)
2D gallery (3D gallery removed)
No widgets
Plain/small single color wallpaper

CM6 + Snap 7.6 & Turbo = "fastest" ROM, CM6 + Snap 7.5 = longest lasting ROM.

this new nightly and its kernel is doing some good work. that thing is fast as nuts and battery is good, better than king's CFS #1 kernel...because I dont have to use setcpu. And i've never noticed a difference, speedwise, with snap 7.6 and turbo. all seems the same to me
but if it does make a difference..then that superevo rom with snap 7.6 turbo should be insane. since apparently it scored like 2700+ with Quadrant...not saying quadrant means much, but a 2700+ definitely doesnt mean nothin

Only tried a handful of roms, but I've been very happy with Fresh 3.1, HTC's newest kernel; no task killer, setcpu, cpuanything, battery savers, ect. - Never gets slow on me and lasts 12+ hours, usually.

Myn's new ROM is extremely fast as well, plus it has 4G which means it is potentially 4X as fast as CM6 if you're in a 4G area like me and you use network intensive apps/browsing/downloading a lot. I'm running King's#9 with it as well. I switch between CM6 (for running Ubuntu/network bridging), and Myn's (when I want really fast eye-candy and I need that 300MB file NOW)

Just like everyone else is saying go with CM6 for a non-sense rom. If you want sense then try out Ava's new V9 rom. It's super smooth and has everything working like hdmi, 4g, etc.

I came from CM6 and absolutely love Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo. Super fast and smooth. I might switch back when CM6 gets 4G working (as SF now has 4G). 8.82down and .97 up btw.

Myn's warm, burnt droid from netarchy and fresh from flipz(3.3) have been good for me.
Myn has most eye candy, but still fast.
Fresh works great, as well, fast and stable.
Burnt droid was good as well, all of these run sense

So I'm guessing this is a noob question, but a couple of you mentioned using Snap 7.6 turbo with roms other than cm6...
Umm, how?
I can't seem to make it work (always says "install a snap kernel") with anything else and I can't seem to find directions on how to do so.
I'd like to try Warm twopointtwo with snapturbo - darned if I can make it work.

TwoPointTwo is Sense based so AOSP kernels (snap, king's AOSP) will not work.

Ah, so it's as I suspected - noob question .
My first week with an Android phone (recovering iPhone junkie). So much to learn, so few hours in a day.

VaelPak
I have pockets of 4G coverage near me and I do connect on occasion so CM6 is out of the question for me.
I've been very happy with VaelPak 2.2 and the stock HTC 11 kernel. It has most of sense stripped out but some components are still there if you like. After playing with a few ROMs, I realized that I actually like the HTC dialer, contacts, and MMS apps. For most stuff you get the option of using AOSP or HTC/Sense components, and the developer is very active and very responsive, addressing any issues. Battery life is good, lasting a full day with moderate usage (up to 18 hours), and performance is great considering all the Launcher Pro eye candy.
It's not completely stripped down yielding the best speed, however I think it's a perfect balance between barebones AOSP and stock Sense (with sprint junk).

try superEVO rom its awesome

I don't get why anyone wants to have a 3G only ROM on a 4G capable phone. Furthermore why the heck would anyone make a ROM for a 4G phone that doesn't connect to 4G before releasing. LOL

Stable Gingerbread Sense Rom?

Okay I've been reading and reading and reading about all these new leaks and new gingerbread roms, and sense 1.0, sense 2.0 and sense 3.0 and i'm just entirely confused now =)
Is there a stable, Gingerbread Sense rom ?
Like i am rooted, and i have tried tons of roms, but i really like the stock sense rom.
Is there a stock gingerbread rom yet that is as stable as the stock froyo rom i'm running now? or are they all unstable or at least have some sort of issues?
I saw that there's a gingerbread stock rom with sense 1.0 ? what's the difference between sense 1.0 and my stock sense? I also saw that theres an HTC Sensation port with sense 3.0 , is this stable and stock?
I basically just want the exact same thing i have now, except gingerbread instead of froyo.. does this exist?

The leaked ginger rom is perfectly stable just a brightness bug with nova screens other than that perfectly fine
from my phone duh

if you want GB + Sense 1.0, give Fresh 4.0.0.4 a try.
if you want GB + Sense 2.1, i've enjoyed MikG 2.1B1 so far. no wimax yet, but i'm in the middle of nowhere right now, so it's not a big issue.
the GB + Sense 3.0 rom is probably frustrating to use, because last time i looked at it, none of the screensizes/graphics looked right.

is there a real good reason to switch to a GB rom from Fresh Froyo for ex?
Like batter battery life (probably worse from what I've read)? Faster/Smoother? New apps?
I just don't think it's worth the trouble, imo

People being stuck at 100% brightness isn't perfectly stable. Derp.

I'm using virusRom Gingersense Rev B2, and it's super smooth. I had to fix the mms, but other than that GPS works, battery life is great. Good Rom.

nothing to do with the rom its the kernel .. so yes the rom is stable

Hey are you sure the battery life is fine because im really not sure that the battery is doing a good job. I feel like the battery life on this rom is eating away faster then it should be. Do you know ways to fix that?

I've used the stock leaked gb with sense 1.0, Mikhail (gb with sense 2.1) beta 2 to rc1, and viruses gingersense b3 and currently b4 alpha 1. Each I've used for at least a day. I also ran cm7 nightly 63 for a bit in there.
If you have a nova screen, run the GPS fix (##gpsclrx#), and use prl 1.77, all of these Tom's are pretty stable. The only reason I left mikG was for video on Google talk which I could not get working on mikg for the life of me. Also I could not get the GPS fix to run on viruses b4, but as long as you run it on another gb sense 2.1 rom first, so my GPS is working fine. No 4g on the sense 2.1 ports. Viruses sense 3.0 port is about to have a beta released, once that is stab it will be the sense rom to end all sense roms as it has 4g working already. With the work virus does it'll be a stable daily driver within a week or two. It will still have the nova screen problem I believe, as I think it uses the leaked Evo gb kernel.
For now I think if you have an Epson screen you can't go wrong with mikg rc1. If you gotta try Google talk with voice step it up to viruses gingersense beta 4. If you need 4g, stick with fresh or calculin's versions of the leaked gb with sense 1.0. Personally though I won't go back to sense 1.0 now that I'm using 2.1 for over a week. Lastly if you have a nova screen, there are some market brightness apps that work (juice defender, among others, has been mentioned) so you could still give it a shot.
With a full wipe I have had no stability issues besides the GPS lock / reboot issue that is fixed by the above. They all run very smooth. I am not an aosp guy no matter how hard I try, but that's another post for another time.
EDIT:
1. virus B4 alpha 1 will not give you working video chat with google talk no matter what you do. his B3 will, after flashing lithid's g-apps package.
2. MikG is a little more complete (has working EPST i.e. ## codes, working sprint voicemail). I am still drawn to Virus B3 due to g-talk video chat, as well as more sense 3.0 elements (messaging, for example).

No problem. One last thing, battery life (ignoring the brightness issue with the nova screen which really kills the battery) is equivalent on this leaked gb kernel, if not a tad better, than with HTC kernel 15 and 17. Battery charging time is significantly faster, though, which is quite nice. The only other people with bad battery life are those who stick with prl 1.90, which causes wakelocks in many many roms.
Happy flashing. Just nandroid and flash, you can always go back.

ok so a few edits (also edited my original post).
1. virus B4 alpha 1 will not give you working video chat with google talk no matter what you do. his B3 will, after flashing lithid's g-apps package.
2. MikG is a little more complete (has working EPST, working sprint voicemail). I am still drawn to Virus B3 due to g-talk video chat, as well as more sense 3.0 elements (messaging, for example).
in the end, pick your posing, always nandroid, and just keep flashing.

Been running Vius GingerSense B3 for a week or so. It has been pretty stable amd smooth. You have to partion the sd card though

MIkG or Virus B3 right now for Sense 2.x
Oh on B3 (or any of Virus's that incorporate sense 3.x) you will probably want to partition the SD card per the OP. The sense 3.0 files take up a LOT of spce and he has moved some of the system fies and enabled app2sd to free up internal space for apps. In that respect MikG and TMartin are easier since they don't have the sense 3.0 elements and take up less phone memory
You can get the 3.0 lock screen (no widgets) on most GB 2.x roms (there is a thread)
TMartins cleanup of the Evo GB leak is good. I keep a backup of that so I can update PRI and profiles (its a sprint ROM the others are not). Also has 4G if you need or use that.
Most likely you will need to downgrade the PRL as it caused wakelock. Not sure why. I assume is a kernel issue like the screen brightnss that will hopefully get ironed out. Remeber it is a leaked (i.e. not 100% done) kernel we GB people are working off of.
Nadroid and play. Find what your phone likes.
Good luck

Still not sure how people get this to work. Maybe I'm missing something, though. Google Voice doesn't close - it tries to set up, then force closes. My contacts aren't working - the People app opens, only shows me (and any recent calls), and if I try to poke around in it, it force closes. Very frustrating.

Functionality and Stability of an operating system are two very different things, man. You can have an OS that is full of functioning features, but crashes every day. You can have an OS where only 3G works but 4G doesn't, but it can be stable and run for years without a crash. See?
But then again, we're just arguing semantics at this point, so we can just agree to disagree, no ill will meant.

ROM Reviews: Looking for the best rom? Read!

"FOR USERS BY USERS"​
Disclaimer:
-OP reviews are MY opinion, read through the thread to get more opinions from other people. If you still didn't get your answer, ask and get it! Thank you and good luck finding your perfect ROM.
To reduce the spam on this forum, I decided to make this thread where I and others who are willing to help are going to do little ROM reviews to show you how good is the ROM, I know ROM picking is "to each his own" thing, but, I (and others) am/are here to do an objective review of the ROM with stock settings.
I'll start with CM. I'll be dividing the review in couple of categories (speed, stability etc.)
N.B.:
AOSP - Vanilla (stock) Android ROM
Sense ROM - ROM with HTC Sense user interface and apps
Hybrid - Sense core but modified and removed some/all HTC apps
JIT - "Just in time" compiler - makes things faster
Overclocking - Changing CPU speeds
Kernel - "Bridge" between hardware and software
CyanogenMod 7.0.3 Stable:
-Android 2.3.3
-AOSP (no Sense)
-Fast and stable (JIT enabled)
-Overclockable to 768 MHz by defalut (no need for flashing new kernels, the included one is the BEST one for Wildfire in general)
-Customizable (Themes etc.)
-Personal opinion: It's best AOSP Gingerbread ROM for Wildfire for me. I've tried most of them, this one is simply the best.
-Battery life: 5/5 (1 day of heavy use ~20% battery left)
-Overall: 9/10
CyanogenMod 6 Latest Stable:
-Android 2.2.1
-AOSP (no Sense)
-Fast and stable (JIT enabled)
-Overclockable to 768 MHz by default
-Customizable
-Personal opinion: It's very good, but why being on Froyo when you're able to run Gingerbread, so CM7 > CM6.
-Battery life: 4/5 (1 day of heavy use ~10% battery left)
-Overall: 8/10
WildPuzzle (new):
-Android 2.2.1
-Sense ROM
-Fast and stable (JIT is not enabled due to instability in Sense ROMs in general)
-Few modifications to make it better and faster + modded framework
-Overclokable by flashing O/C kernel
-Customizable with flashable themes (My theme here - should work on all Sense ROMs)
-Personal opinion: Awesome and best Sense ROM so far, very stable, almost no bugs (I didn't find any), full Sense experience + live wallpapers in Sense, simply - awesome!
-Battery life: 4/5 (1 day of heavy use ~10-15% battery left)
-Overall: 8.5/10
JokerDroid 4.2:
-Android 2.2.1
-Sense ROM
-Fast and stable + few modifications (JIT is not enabled due to instability in Sense ROMs in general)
-Overclockable by default
-Customizable by flashable themes
-Modded Sense UI and framework - cool for me, I don't know about you tho
-Personal opinion: Good ROM, dev has confirmed he is working on Sense 2.1 Gingerbread ROM, I can't wait for it, but this ROM is also good, and has few different editions, check the original thread for more information, good Sense experience, just different look, try it if you're looking for some innovation but don't want to leave Sense!
-Battery life: 4/5 (Battery life is bad in the beginning, after few charge/discharge cycles is good as Wildpuzzles)
-Overall: 8/10
OpenFire (original) & WildMix (improved & themed original):
-Android 2.2.1
-AOSP (no Sense)
-Fast and stable (JIT enabled)
-Overclockable by default
-Personal opinion: OpenFire is good, but WildMix ROM based on OpenFire is better. Flash this if you want stock Android experience, which is more stock than CyanogenMod - don't forget WildMix is themed, so not that stock, but better.
-Battery life: 5/5 (Nice battery life even if overclocked!)
-Overall: 7.5/10
Note: For links to threads of ROMs and other very helpful things go on this thread by 3xeno. Thank you 3xeno!

Yeah no problem
I mean, if jokerdroid, Wildpuzzle and Cyanogen got 5/5.. Then why almost every wildfire user goes for cyanogen ?!
And I think that even Cyanogen shouldn't get 5/5... Some people don't like it and prefer the stock rom (even if they are few but...) + It got some bugs like bluetooth sending and receiving and others....
5/5 should mean that they are bug free, and almost 99% of users prefer it..
My advice to you is to extend the rating scale, maybe make it on "10"...
And re-rate the roms again.... If I were you, I would never give any rom 10/10 unless it's a rom from heaven, u know what I mean ?!
I hope I helped

Cyan 7 : 8.5

Wildpuzzle : 8.5 (Only If u like sense, If u don't then don't mind this rom)
JokerDroid 4.2 : 8.0 (Only If u like sense, If u don't then don't mind this rom)
As for OpenFire and WildMix, I didn't try them personnaly, but I've heard my friends talking about it, and I think i wasn't pleased about what I heard ...
So maybe I give OpenFire : 7.0, and WildMix : 7.5... Not more.... Coz I still prefer Cyan 6 on them

Well, If u prefer speed more than htc sense, then go for CM7...
But If u prefer the fancy htc sense apps (like the camera - the gallery - the music player - the widgets) then get stock 2.2.1 sense ...
Note: Even if u go for Cm7 u will still have these apps, but not made by htc, the ones made by google, which i personnaly hate...
My advice to u: Stick to 2.2.1 stock rom... It's the best... When buying an HTC phone, u paid for these sense apps, so why remove them ?!

Sorry, I don't agree with it at all. Infact, it is with stock android you can modify it to your liking till you are done. Sense restricts you to what it provides, and is hardly what you call 'customizable'. (I am not saying either is good or bad. Nor am I comparing their functionality. All I am saying that as far as 'customization' goes, No-Sense ROMs are way ahead)

3xeno, I was thinking about overclocking my wildfire...
I am on stock froyo 2.2 rooted, so i am gonna have to download kernel and so on...
So I wanted to ask, if i need to send my phone to repairs, will running
"RUU.exe" will return it back to the old kernel ?!
+ Is it safe to overclock, and on which range ?! (keep on mind that maybe I won't replace my wildfire for about 4 years, so I don't want to really make my proccessor life short) And thx
Edit: Sorry smokzye for using ur thread to ask 3xeno somthing

you can flash other kernel from recovery and make it overclockable, i prefer arcos nfinity mc4 kernel, and only apk you need to install is setcpu, ill send it to you, or even easyer, use search and simply search for setCPU, download, install and oc baby! (after u flashed overclock kernel of course)
if you install ruu the old kernel will be back, but if you got s off by alpharev x, you cant repair it for warranty unless you get the s on back and the original hboot.
if youre gonna have that wildfire for 4 years id say, you can overclock but not to the highest setting and dont stress the cpu much. yeah..
and, np

I have tried all Roms from Cm 7.0.2 to Nightly 145, Rempuzzle, DK Custom Froyo, JokerDroid, Wildpuzzle and so far JokerDroid 4.2 is my favorite.
Why?
-Its by far the best
-Hast the best kernel so no need to flash another one
-Its fast and responsive
-Has great battery life ( 3 days+ with quite a lot of WIFI+downloading+gaming+lots of talking )
-The HTC widgets don't stay at ,,Loading" each time you exit an app. When you exit an app and go to your screens the text inside the widgets ( like news, live feed, weather, messeges, mails ) are there in the widgets, no need to be refreshed by the system ( except when exiting heavy applications like games that you run for 30 minutes+ )
- I hate the theme though...but changed it using Smozkfield 1.1 theme and replacing Framework-res.apk and htc.resources.apk with the default ones from HTC Sense.

I tried CM7, Ruymanca's Hell Fire, Wildpuzzle,and finally Jokerdroid 4.2
So far I liked the Jokersdroid best. It is fast, with A2SD, trackpad wake and the sense goodies. Especially, I realized I cant do without HTC dialer.
For the theme issue in jokersdroid, i simply installed a theme from wildpuzzle zip files. And its all nice now.

it's impossible for something to be perfect and without having a single issue. but the rom with the least issues in my opinion would be Virtuous Unity, a great rom developed by the hardworking Virtuous team. that rom is the closest you can get to perfect. try it.
website: http://www.virtuousrom.com/
thread is in the mytouch 4g development section.

What is it that you are wanting out of a rom? Different people like different things, and while some like vu (myself included), others want a more vanilla Android experience. Which would point closer to cm.

Depends on your preference. I like sense and the one nearest to perfect for me is Virtuous Unity. Like saranhai said nothing is perfect nothing will be. The stock rom that comes with mytouch is not perfect at all. Some roms have a tad little bit of lag some just a little bit more. Something about every rom is different. Like eqjunkie829 said. You could want sense like me, him and alotof other people. Or you can go with a more aosp/vanilla rom.

By you saying it sucks is too general. What does "suck" mean?
His answers will allow us to pinpoint him in the right direction. Other wise I might as well copy and paste all the links i saved.

I bought this 3 months ago.I like a battery saving Rom.I know there are faster Roms,but current speed (official GB update)doesn't feel bad for me.Also, there is a problem of camera quality of this GB update.

Easy. CM7.
Nothing is more stable and more battery efficient than CM7.
Can't go wrong.

Hmmmm, without a single issue?
I don't think such an animal exists in our modern world...
From my experience, using the stock sense that came with the phone had by far far far more issues than cm6, 7 and 7.1- fc almost every phone conversation followed by signal loss, flaky wifi, lots of problems with the (nice) automatic profile switching etc.
So whatever you install, you're probably going to be "issuewise" much better than stock. Perhaps you'll have to sweat a little more to make it look as neat as sense, though.

MIUI. I got tired of sense roms, that drains battery a lot and makes phone lag after some use.
MIUI is fast, stupid fast actually, and i'm @ 1 GHz CPU. Super customizable , good for battery save.

Try Cyanogen mod (CM7). Like a few suggested!
All my cam apps work great on the stable version.
Battery life is probably the best of all the ROMs because of its simplicity.
This ROM is all about functionality
Although I use MIUI. Which also has great battery life (1day 6hrs) it has its quirks with some camera apps. I just wanted a sleeker user interface
I use a simple cam app anyways and I love the customization. My main goal for rom was battery life, & speed ( i was on 2.2 and it was very laggy out of the box) I just got my phone 2 months ago.
My last smart phone was an htc fuze lol and my previous phone was a simple nokia bar phone.
So I was totally oblivious to rooting prior to 2 months ago.

cyanogen
well I'm using cyanogen 7 stable version and I don't have any issue

running TDJ 2.2.0 just to switch things up a little bit
10+ hours and just now hitting 50%, so far so good
TDJ's port of that rom works wonders

Virtuous Unity for me, never one single issue, great performance, features, speed, battery life.

Virtuous unity was ok, not perfect by any means. It was a heavy rom, some times leggy and had some random FC's I never got in other roms. For a more stock sense/espresso hybrid (with out the stupid blocky apps), royal glacier has to be the most stable rom I have tried. I am currently running Faux's nexus rom and I love it so far, no issues. So if your into AOSP stuff, I would look into that.

Faux nexus 1.3.1
So I have been using faux's nexus 1.3.1 ROM for about a week now, I calibrated the battery right after I flashed it using the battery calibration app, and the battery life is amazing. It lasted 1 day 5 hours according to my battery stats right after I calibrated. Also it has been one of the most stable ROMs I have used besides royalglacier. No FC's or random reboots. One thing I have learned, which may be a total noob thing but whatever, is if you are going from sense to AOSP, you cannot restore any data after you flash your rom. You have to use titanium backup or the mybackup pro app to get your apps, SMS, call logs and the likes back. It might be common sense but i never knew that and it kept me away from aosp roms for a long time!

ICS Just doesnt cut it.

Ive recently downgraded back to CM7 GB. ICS just has too many bugs and it seems im the only one who seems to think its "slow" or jerky at times. I encourage you if you just want your phone to work and be as fast as it can be to go back to CM7. It seems everyone keeps saying ICS is ultra fast and ultra smooth. In my experiences, ICS just wasnt made for the SGS1, the hardware just isnt powerful enough, heck even the Galaxy Nexus looked a tad slow on ICS compared to how fast it is on JB.
I dont think CM10 will be that much different from CM9. Im looking into getting an S3 when they drop the price a little bit, (£500!!!! I can get a decent laptop for that price)

No comment

I honestly disagree. I do feel Slim ICS is as fast, as any other 2.3 rom i've tried, with the added bonus of slightly improved responsiveness. This is my personal experience, of course.
And i also think it's not about the hardware. If it was, the iphone wouldn't be such a success. But this is a loaded statement and not really worth going over. I'm just glad everyone has a favourite flavour they can use

Ya really think dat ugly'n'slow CM7 is better dan ICS?

There are trillions of possible combinations of apps and settings, did you do a clean install (wipe everything)?
A clean ICS beats a clean 2.3 ROM.

Yeah its definitely useable. but maybe its just me, I feel like sometimes it will run flawless then sometimes it will feel laggy and slow, regarding iOS, its alot better coded than Android (im going to get hate for taht, but its true, you can run obsolete processors with iOS and still get it to work flawlesly since its so closely ccontrolled and optimised) Its the same with Windows Phone 7. If theres anyone who hasnt tried using Wp7, I encourage you to do so, my next phone will hopefully be the SGS3, but with every single Android phone regardless of specs, sometimes theres a delay with some things, i.e. the gallery. Its not so much lag anymore, just a delay between pressing the app icon and it actually loading. On windows phone, you press the app, BOOM, instantly its there.But JellyBean and "project Butter" is a step in the right direction. (And it looks alot cooler)

is here any happy user of MIUI v4 on SGS?
sorry for this question - is it worth to install it or just forget about it?
Thanks!

I got back to gingerbread although I liked the neat GUI of ICS and tested almost every variant of it except Slim ICS because it lacked support for Arabic based languages (my native language is Pashto). Another thing for me was the lack of feature of copying contacts to SIM which is crucial for me. Anyway I'm waiting if someone could include that feature, then certainly I will get back to ICS or JB.

ICS is good but the SGS just doesn't get the most of it, you can say what you want but if you think you're getting the full ICS experience on this phone you are sadly mistaken..
Honestly I don't blame the OP downgrading to GB, the sgs is what 2-3 years old now? If you want to run the latest software it might pay to start thinking about upgrading.

For me,
Slim ICS>Froyo 2.2.1 (especially stock ZSJPK)>Any Gingerbread rom
Why? The answer is ram. The notion of free ram being wasted ram is just silly. When ram is full, the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes, causing a decrease in smoothness.
That's why Froyo 2.2.1 was the best, because it had the most least ram consumption. However, slim ICS had that ridiculously big ram configuration, which put it on par with 2.2.1. But it ranks higher because it is ICS and has more features.

Hmm i downgraded to froyo a while ago and found it heaps laggier than ICS , JB is much better than ICS imo now.

What a strange thread. I've been on a load of different ICS Roms, I've tried almost all of them and I've found 90% of them faster than stock Gingerbread/Froyo.
Right now I've been on CM10 Alpha (JB) for two days and my SGS feels like a new phone again. It's not perfect and 100% reliable, but it's pretty good for an alpha build.

im sorry. what is gingerbread/froyo? never heard of that.
it depends on personal preference to be honest.

Im not a developer, but the ram being full is not always bad. It just depends on how the Os uses it. I agree if you are constantly clearing and caching the ram as u open apps, you will lose smoothness but, for instance, my version of nix pre caches the majority of ram in advance for various applications to use. In essence insuring there is enough ram available for gui apps. Obviously if you are overall limited on ram though it will slow things down.
I have never felt like the ics ports were sluggish, just bit battery heavy, and they seem to run hot. That being said GB is the best compromise for me. Plus there is so much more hacking done for GB.
