What is the best custom rom?

I like the default theme and am not opposed to it, and most custom rom themes I do not enjoy. Nonetheless I want a faster system and the ability for live wallpapers.
Are there any reccomendations on the best custom rom for this situation?

Also looking for the same thing, an overclocked SENSE UI ROM? Currently running DD2.7
Any Help For US?
Thanx,
Tee Jay

The best help you're going to get is
"This is what I'm running, but you need to try everything"
The reason why there are so many ROMs is because there is no "best ROM"

For sense run fresh rom or dc
And flash the oc kernel on top

ive tried all of the custom sense roms and i find this one to be the best. with this kernel OC to 710. its the fastest on my phone. and you can get live wallpapers from here.

There were two versions of the kernel there. I found out that the Fresh and Damage version is NOT the correct version.

Well if you like stability, and your gps and accelorometer to work properly. Ie you want to be able to use geocaching programs, and exercising programs like cardiotrainer then I would choose a rom based of of the official stock rom like fresh

That would require a port. And porting is not easy.

Yes. We need the recovery first. Then we can create Odin flashable files. Else when we edit it, the files will get corrupted.

It's impossible.

What ROM please suggest!

Hi! Just got a Tab and rooted it.
I have a Galaxy S phone so I'm kind of experienced in Samsung stuff (a little) so what ROMs and kernels are best?
Thanks!

Galaxy Task ROM + Pershoot's kernal
Just my opinion

My advice is to stick with stock rom or use latest leaked stock rom.
Real tuning can be done without flashing custom rom, rooting is enough, for instance fixing low screen sensitivity using Screen Tuner app.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium

Use Task 6.1, it already has pershoot's OC. Touch screen has been tuned. Browser works great. It has all the bells and whistles.

I second that! If you're rooted, there's really no point in not trying something different; and while all the developers for the Tab here have done great work, I'm partial to Task's stuff. I can count on one finger the number of times I've had a problem with any of his roms...and he fixed that in minutes. Try to get that kind of response from Samsung!

+1 on Task's ROM running v6.1 and it'svery smooth

Task 6.1 - you can go for it!
It is the best rom available. Very stable and smooth.

Task 6.1 the best

Yay! Awesome!
Say when you flash CWR do you have to root to flash a ROM?

When you flash with a custom rom you a replacing your existing rom and custom roms usually grant you root access. CWR is clockwork recovery . You flash that to replace the standard recovery. makes it easier to install custom ROMs

Anyone tried KingDroid ICS 1.6 ROM?

Hi Guys,
Did anyone tried KingDroid ICS 1.6 ROM....any review or suggestion?...presently i am on CM9...is it worth flashing to it?

Dear abheshekk,
I am on v1.6 now and it is very smooth&stable... Cm9 is still in its early beta stage and may have much more bugs than tw based kingdroid v1.6... It is worth to flash according to me... V1.6 contains latest ported apps from sgs3 ics rom including toucwiz ux... Call rec is enabled and all spen stuff is working... I am very satisfied with v1.6...
Kind regards.

Every time you change ROM you should wipe, just be careful with the brick issue when wipe on ics stock kernel

My point was when someone is asking a group of people about opinion on something I will keep quite when I haven't tried it. Posting for the sake of posting in a thread is not a great idea.

I'm on LPF + bootloader flashed using Dr.Ketan instructions. Does anyone moved from this LPF to KDv1.6?
how do you do it? no matter if it does wipe.

It's fine, but I like Rocket Rom more. I don't know why, but I guess it's because I ran with eybee's old ICS leak which was awesome.
Rocket Rom v2 + my SGS3 theme = smooth as hell.

Alternatively the OP could have read the KingDroid thread and make his own decision based on what people report in that thread instead of making a new one that clutters up the forum.

Try it. Rom, is very stable, new touchwiz is amazing and s voice works better than just installing the app on other ROM.

I'm using it right now, it's mostly smooth but google maps randomly FCs and after hanging up on phone calls it freezes for 5 seconds or so.

Yeah I'm getting that issue too! But otherwise it's a stable rom though it doesn't really work to well if your planning on using I like better but I have a feeling that Rocket Rom is going to be my choice just because I loved the GB equivalent.

Fool proof instruction from LPF (Ketan)
First get these to files on SD(cant post links, google pls):
CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3 (get the .tar since Mobile Odin can not flash .zip)
AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final RedPill Touch Original Logo (.zip vers.)
and the Kingdroid Rom
Download Mobile Odin(pro) and flash CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3
Now Boot into recovery and flash AbyssNote kernel, still in CF-Root go to advance and reboot recovery (so now you are in abyss recovery)
In Abyss first Wipe Data/Factory after that wipe Cache and then wipe Dalvik
Now install from SD and chose Flash Kingdroid rom
Reboot and enjoy GNote

Paranoid uses CM9 kernel, therefore it is safe.

Looks like Paranoid is CM9 based so nearly no bricking risk there
Kingdriod is based on an official Kernel, so big risk of bricking .
I could be quite wrong here though.. do your own research.

Reading the first few post in the paranoidandroid thread...
The install looks very intimidating for new flashers.
And to complicate things, there is a list of prerequisites and DONT'S. IF.......
So Im freaked out by it all, but do want to install it..
My experience so far is to.. D/L the German XXLPY and install via PC Odin.
Then root, then Speedmod Kernel..
NOW.. the PA ICS hybrid instructions warns against flashing with ICS already installed with certain kernels.....
I got lost and confused...
{Q} Can I just flash PA ICS Hybrid over what I have got already??
or {Q} do I have to go back to GB and a GB kernel first??
thanks for helping out a new flasher.
And dont forget to lecture me to read..read..read.. research....
I know that & but I will need reminders (without links as wel)l...
thanks again,,,

Kingdroid it's pretty bad, it has very very dirty stuff and useless tweaks, its buggy and drive you crazy after 1 day of use.
The idea of that rom is good but "more" not means better so that guys need to do a clean rom instead a rom full of useless crap.

It's not confusing as long as you get the concept right. Just remember one thing.
All stock Samsung ROM are dangerous and you do not want to flash anything over them.
All AOSP ROM are safe and you can flash over them.
So what happens if you are on Samsung official like LPx, LBx, etc ? First, flash a gingerbread ROM with no wipe and then proceed with the usual flash procedure. This applies for ANY ROM that you wanted to flash not only Paranoid ROM.
