Any rom reccomendatons

I was wondering if anyone had a rom recommendation. I have used Stock Turbo in the past and it worked well but I had problems with my uptime=my awake time. I had to get a new EVO (Dropped my old one) wondering if some people could give me suggestions on what roms they like and why.
I would like to have Wiimax, Google apps, and wireless tethering.

AOSP all the way.
CM7.

Destroyer for themed awesomeness.
CM7 for customizability
Salvage-Mod or Savaged-Zen for simplicity
MikFroyo for a fast sense ROM
Myns or Kings Unleashed for themed sense awesomeness
EViO 2 for Battery
Warm Z, Mik Z or Unleashed Z for Sense 2.0
Miui or VaelPaek for something different
That's my experiences and recommendations based on what I've tried.
For what it's worth, I usually stay on Destroyer (Variant of CM7).

+1 for Jstalford. He is right on from personal experiance also. I'm currently running Dark Cocoa III and love it. Its sense but quick, everything works, and its very stable.

CM7 or deck's gingerbread imo

Just depends on what you are looking for...
For Gingerbread, I personally use Deck's ROM with Cayniarb's Tiamat kernel. Probably the most solid combination I've used.
I also like CM7 which I will test out from time to time.
For Froyo... Most are good. I don't play around with sense much because I think GB is much better.

Yeah, if you haven't tried GB yet you definitely should, there's a couple small issues that are fixable with a little bit of work.
For sense roms, I'm really liking Virus Airbourne right now, really nicely themed. Netarchy kernels have been giving me great battery life as well.

I just went back to Deck's with RC8. Looking good so far, but I haven't left home long enough to test the battery, but I use the exact same ROM/kernel combo.

+1 for MikFroyo

vaelpak 3.2 baby! Havent come across a more all around complete/customizeable rom

If I made a nandroid backup of my stock rooted rom now and flash a new rom (even ASOP rom) can I just reload my old image if I'm not happy with the new rom?

That's correct.

In fact, I forgot to backup my VaelPak flash :X

Myns 2.2 warm or koni's elite for sense or cm7 #36 for aosp.

what does everyone think about Fresh?

Nothing wrong with it. Good Stockish ROM.

New favorite
I have quickly fallen in love with Eternal Prophesy v.4.9. Fast with terrific battery life. Best combination of performance of the half-dozen or so ROMs I've tried so far.

Running omj Rom and sense kernels #15. Gives fantastic battery life.

Most rock stable combination?

After getting a Galaxy Note, I'm giving this phone to my dad and I want to have the most stable combination there is that is without any sort of lag. Can anyone provide any recommendations?

works for me
Ramads stock deodext rom with semaphore kernel no lag battery 48h....

infact odex unrooted would be best, maybe even last froyo js8 i think it was

Correct, after many months of testing, the best most stable, no lags, no low memory even after open close apps and 3D games, no bugs, and with a fully working wifi, ad-hoc and call recording integrated...
Its Darky 9.5 extreme edition based on the froyo js8.
Combination i find perfect is darky 9.5 with speedmod k13e kernel with ext4 fastest enabled in kernel, with scripts enable in kernel, and with fugu tweaks 2.3.5.zip.
Modem i use is zsjpg but bujp5 is also very good.
As i said this combination is simply amazing.
Using any gingerbread rom i would start lagging, and had 50 mg of ram after a few games and apps opened...but with the combination above no need to kill apps, the phone just runs anything with no problems at all, no low memory...it just works.
Besides...latest GB roms gave me wifi disconects, dont have fully working ad-hoc..and there is no call recording among other bugs and lags, low memory etc.

oSerX jvt rom with semaphore kernel..Its the best custom rom ..Stable as stock with solid batterylife..Its fast, smooth n simple...

I'm on the other side of the fence as others here. I'd recommend to stay stock with either Froyo or if maybe GBs JVR version. Since that seems pretty zippy, especially with browsing IMO.
The other plus with stock is the battery life is usually better. Maybe your dad might not use the phone as much as you, but it's still nice to have especially if he doesn't charge his phone as much...

Battery life is a must, I'll give JS8 a shot and then try JVT if JS8 doesn't work out. What about GPS? Is there any decent fix out there for it?

Well GPS and battery life don't go together, GPS is a battery killer. If you have to use GPS then have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
I use stock JVT + Semaphore kernel, and I'm very happy with it.

I know GPS kills battery, but he doesn't use it very often. Once in a while when required.

My sgs is flying with doctors rom and my mix tweaks.

For you dad; I'd say go back to JS8 with speedmod. Or throw CM7 on there - I never have any stability problems with CM7.

JS8 or JSD (froyo roms).
In case he need gingerbread for some reason then I'd chose oSerX rom (odexed JVT rom).

most stable = latest froyo + no rooting + no custom kernels + no moding/theming and so on

Simplicity 1.5.1
The most stable gingerbread I've run.
No fc's and no noticeable lags. No reboots. I will not change till 4.0.

Haha. Yeah. 56000 quadrant score.
Seriously though I've had not one issue with it. My daily has been running for about 3 weeks now untouched. All working well.
Only time I had an issue was when reverting back old market. Fc market issues. Put back new market and all good.

on what firmware ?

No, since I never flashed Jetpack, but you should give it a look. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344489
It has a nice ICS-theme, customizable lockscreens and statusbar.

I think jet pack or darky the best ggb base rom.

Yes, but stil fast and stable

come on guys....i m trying to find the fastest - stable best custom rom!

MIUI
For me the smoothest rom seems to be MIUI (Galnet or Miuiandroid). With a custom kernel (Fugumod with Voodoo Color) i succeded to obtain also a good battery life. In the morning is 100% charged, in the evening 20% battery remaining (100+ apps installed). I've tried in the past a lot of roms but for a month i stayed on MIUI.

Smoothest and fastest roms are the ones with the best ram management and the most free ram. Hence, froyo 2.2.1 roms were less laggy than gingerbread roms.
However, now that we have bigmem kernels, gingerbread roms can become relatively free of microlags.
Hence, I would recommend the Gaming rom as it was made to minimise backgroud ram consumption.

the best rom is darky for sure..
especialy the 10.2 version. just rocks
or criskelo v62 awsome!

Jetpack Mod
I have tried most roms, F1 innovation, Darkys, SURFACE, etc. Jetpack mod is by far the most stable and fast rom I have ever used, the battery life is incredible too. I would recomend the JW1 version, as I dont like JVU very much

I've been using an Israeli ROM called PilotX 4.2 (2.2.1).
Yesterday I've installed F1 inovation.
With semaphore 2.4.0 and it's pretty AWESOME.
Sent from my SGS... Me LIKE it.

jetpack 8.2 jw1 f1 innovation are on the top now?

Noob: best ROM battery related

Hi, I'm a noob here in the Note. I've been a heavy user and a quite massive flasher of my SGS2.
I'm expecting my Note tomorrow and I'm very frightened in advance by its battery life. So I'm thinking of rooting instantaneously as I open its box but I need your advice.
Should I just root it with the CFroot and leave the stock Samsung touchwiz or should I flash any ROM with good battery results? If so, please I need a small amount of opinions. Which one is the most reliable? Do the latest ICS betas have the same battery drain as the latest GBs? Should I go ICS to start enjoying the Note experience or stay in a GB rom?
Please help me to grasp the state of things in the Note world as I open the box.

Right now I'm using a custom ROM, Darky ROM to be exact and I'm really pleased. This one seems to work best overall for me (along with the latest franco kernel).
Most people however have reported great performance with using the latest Abyss kernel and Rocket ROM. Those for me, weirdly were slower and Abyss got me battery drain.
However, my experience differs from that of most users out there, so basically you should probably try them yourself at first and see which one suits you better.

Thank you pal for the first clues!

Checkrom got me the best battery life so far, mainly it is a lite rom.
Hope its not placebo!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

At the moment I'm using Rocket Rom together with the Speed Kernel which, with a few tweaks here and there, gives me awesome battery life while using and in standby.

Lite Roms have most of the Samsung and some other stuff removed. As a rule, they are more battery efficient. The best ones IMO are Cassie's XtraLite and Chrak's Small Rom. Of course, removed apps that you need can be added back in both of these Roms.
I used both with Franco's kernels, and they were fast, smooth and easy on the battery.
As for ICS, my advice would be to stay out of it for the time being. You have things to learn before being able to cope with the necessary high maintenance and fixing the ICS Roms require ATM.
No disrespect meant, just stating the fact.

[Q] original or modified rom????

is better froyo 2.2 rom original or modified ROM is here?.
encuenta having all respects.
stability.
battery life.
speed.
performance with installed applications.
not crash all the time
customization.
etc.
and recommendations of the best rom for my Samsung T595 vibrant.

Hello there. if you have a vibrant it is a t959. I dont use froyo anymore since we have very good choices on gingerbread ann ICS. Iam on Skankwich CM9 Kang...very nice. You can find good choices if you search. Im my opinion a custom rom is better. You need to find out by yourself wich one you like and works better according to your needs. How? ...flashing!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

I wouldn't run ICS if you don't feel like tinkering with your ROM. The GPS is inconsistent, and there will be little bugs every now and again as the developers continue to refine the base builds that will require you to keep an eye on the ROM you flashed for updates.
None of the bugs I found in ICS are real show stoppers depending on what you expect out of your phone (besides that encryption unsuccessful problem which is a big issue), but there were enough that I only flash ICS every month or so just to see how things are. I always come back to Froyo just for the sake of everything working.
Moped Ryder's EZ_Ryder/Slim_Ryder are good Froyo builds, but I, personally, always fall back to either Bionix-V 1.3.1 or Fishman's Bionix-V Mod with the DragonModz or Overstock kernel. That combo with the Holo launcher fits my needs just right.

Hey, if you're going for stability, battery life, speed, and performance...then a custom rom from the development is certainly better than stock froyo in my opinion. And..luckily enough, we have some great developers in the froyo department at the moment. I've tried a lot of Fish's builds and they are all awesome...but I had some of the best battery life and such on his updated Deranged rom
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565768
I was getting like 2 days worth of life while I was on that, and it was buttery smooth lol
But really, anything by Fish or Moped is definitely worth looking into my friend.

Froyo / GB is all I use for now. Dont forget the issues that come along with ICS and CM7 / 9.
1. A lot don't have working 911 (e911?) or inconsistant 911 with each build.
2. ICS from my knowledge still has the Encryption Unsuccessful bug.
3. For me at least gps works best on Froyo.
4. Possible mute/unmute bug (rare)
Those two are the deal breakers for me. Im a father of 3 so I have to have a working phone with 911 at all times.
btw - thanks for good word guys
If you find any old Froyo / GB rom and would like me (or Fishman) to update it to current status just ask.
If you want to try out Stock Froyo Id suggest the KB5 stock ROM I posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674519
Its stock with lockscreens and a power menu added.
