Which ICS ROM to use

Which ics ROM is everyone one using and which one is better?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Ics passion v4. Its like wiping your ass with silk. Smooth as hell.

Yea, that's what I've been using. It's still a Beta, so, there's some kinks... but, it's the best ICS ROM for us at the moment.

Agreed. Not using it, as I'm waiting for the bugs to be ironed out. However I am watching that thread like a hawk. Waiting for the rom to exit the beta stages.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19763246&postcount=359

Passion v4 is good, still has some kinks but only because its still in Beta. I use it as my daily since i really dont do much except text, email, Plume, FC Scoremobile, and once in awhile YouTube.
No video camera or GPS
other than that its pretty awesome!

I'm using the i9000 version as a daily ROM, been pretty sweet. Same battery life if not better from gingerbread. Each version has its own little caveats though so beware.

Are 911 or the headphone media stop/start buttons working on any ICS roms?
Thanks.

Passion v4
I'm Using passion v4 and its pretty great so far. No GPS (for me at least) but that is to be expected. Only a couple of bugs left as far as I can tell. Give it a shot.

+1 for Passion v4. Its amazing

I didn't really expect that it will be this fast to make a nice ICS rom for the vibrant.

Does it seem like the ICS builds have less bugs then the early gingerbread builds? Any bootloader issues?

issues, WHAT issues?
Besides the normal battery life decrease from froyo roms that most people are used to- there aren't too many issues.
Major issues:
Video Recording does not work for any port yet (i9000etc.)
GPS does not work for us.
Lesser issues:
some apps may freeze up since they aren't ICS compatible yet.

I think you get defensive too quickly...
Greg was comparing early gingerbread to early ICS saying that ICS has had a less buggy start than GB did. Then he ASKED if there were issues.
So if anything I think you just agreed with him, in a very aggressive way.
Any way, thanks to this thread, I jumped on the Passion v4 wagon. I was contemplating waiting for v5 while doing homework but couldn't help myself. I have no regrets.
After restoring everything with Titanium it runs really smooth (something was going wrong in CM7, probably from all the crap I had installed). The battery life seems about the same as GB, but everything looks so much nicer.
I found a few apps that do not appreciate ICS as much as I do, but if they're no friends of ICS they are no friends of mine!
I just hope GPS is working before my trip in a few weeks (and from the sounds of it they will have it working in the next few days, if not tonight).
It is the only ICS rom I have tried so far, but whether everyone here was right or just my ignorance of what else is out there, I am still very happy with it.

I just have one question. How do you flash if by chance you've alraedy installed a different version of ICS? Because you cant mount it to send any data to it!

This is a very very smooth ROM. I'm coming from CM7 with Glitch v13 and as far as I can see, it's amazing! Will be using it as my dd for a good long time. Only complaint is there isn't as much customization as with CM7 but I just installed ADW launcher and that's good enough for me!
Recommended to any Vibrant user!

I tried I9000 port of ICS with working button mapping,gps,hw accel because it sounds most likely to go into the next CM type of build, while the others just seem like rom chefs working from someone else's source.
For me it was snappy as hell, literally from the moment I got it running it felt more smooth than any of the current gingerbread roms. I didn't keep it on long enough to comment on battery life, and unlike most of the people in the thread, I couldn't get gps working(nor did I try things like media buttons).. in the end I gave up on it because titanium backup wouldn't restore my apps. Not one. I was too lazy to troubleshoot it or install them all again one by one, and I wanted my daily driver/reliable 2.2 back.
But it gave me hope: if they have a working rom, this quick, that smooth, with so few definite problems- it will probably surpass any gingerbread version I have tried to date.
Hell, if I could have restored my titanium backup and the apps I truly use every day actually worked, I'd still be using it.

Edit: Maybe the reason you can't mount it is because you need modified USB drivers? Here are the Modified usb drivers just in case some computers dont detect the device that they have posted here
Otherwise..
Umm, you can't mount it? The ICS I tried didn't have a mounting problem.. but if your still able to flash, you could bluetooth the files you need over, use dropbox and download it, and there are probably a few other ways I could think of.. otherwise I'm not sure what is stopping you, I don't even know which ICS still can't mount.

When you say customization in CM7, are you just talking about theming? Unless there is a large part of customization I missed that CM7 offered, the theming in cm7 was far outweighed by what you could do in MIUI, besides the many features it offered that CM7 never even touched..
Oh the other note, I would also recommend any vibrant user to give ICS a try- it offers something unique and fresh, and I am quite happy with the beta experience it had.

ICS Passion v5. Other than GPS and video recording for now evrything works as it is supposed to. USB mounting is correct (no more MTP mount). It's smooth and fast. Camera even works in Panorama mode. It's no longer beta in my opinion, its a perfect daily driver. Best Rom ever on my Vibrant.

Comparisons between GB and ICS...What is your overall opinion so far?

Hey guys.
Must say for early stages ICS looks pretty sweet. Looking forward to the stable version by Codeworkx and team.
My opinion though is that i still find Gingerbread pretty solid and has all the features i need still. Yes ICS is still in early stages. But there are still few features that i can not leave without just yet. And plus battery life of course is a major issue for me so when kernel sources are released i am sure we shall see an influx of kernels to tackle the problem as it was in the early days of Gingerbread on our gorgeous phones.
Question here is...Do you guys find it worth the jump even on early stages or are you sticking with Gingerbread as it is still stable and you have all the features you can ask for till the gorgeous CM9 gets more stable? Also what would you like from Gingerbread to be on ICS
Thanks

The problem is I've already made the jump much earlier, and it's now unacceptable going back to GB..

I also made the jump but something made me come back to GB..I think it is still because the build is still in early stages and bugs and errors occur..Plus having the voodoo app now by Supercurio kinda makes me hold up a bit longer. Yes i know that is not a good enough reason but also battery life is a major one for me...
What i like to know in the new build of CM9 is it as smooth as people say it is when scrolling?

Well I'm most likely the wrong person to answer that, having come from the original SGS since only the last 2 days. And no, I don't think that it's not a good enough reason to revert to GB for Voodoo LOUDER when I'm actually giving it a fair thought of going back to the SGS1 for Voodoo Sound...

I dont know how to say it but ... ummmm but seriously (not trolling) i love the touch wiz ui

One thing just held me back. The video part. After it gets fixed i'll be transfering to cm9

Don't worry, there are plenty of people like you and me giggling at the various topics of stuttering paid alternative launchers, and buggy custom AOSP roms, but they are mostly silent.
I think its great they are there, because it can lead to new insights, but so far for me stock + TW + a mild Jkay-theme hit the sweet spot for almost everything this phone can do for me.

Opinion its a leaked test rom and not ICS release who knows what will change .
jje

Ive been trying out the cm9 alpha for a while now and am liking it. Got it setup virtually the same as my KK5 daily.
With cm9 I don't need voodoo louder and my a2dp streaming sounds better.
But.....
I could easily go back to KK5 odexed which I have setup the way I like it. Jkay mods, frozen apps, voodoo louder, etc.
I use go launcher ex, go sms pro and poweramp on both so mostly my user interface is the same.
Found since sgs1 that I like the 3rd party apps more than stock. Thats the beauty of android I guess.
Im ok with both as a daily so far.

I started using CM9 since the first build, which was very buggy, but its been my daily driver since then and I love it now, stable enough for everyday use (amazing for an alpha) and I already find it better than CM7, I can't go back to GB after updating lol, love the new UI, the only time I ran into a problem was when I wanted to see football highlights last night but can't watch the video =D other that tho I love ICS, can't wait for a full and stable release! Highly recommend it! I found I don't need as many 3rd party apps, don't use widget locker or go launcher or go contacts etc anymore, the only one I use now is go SMS pro.

Same here. ICS is very good and I urge all to give CM9 a try. Of course we cannot mod, theme etc.. at this stage but to be frank there is no need to. Great sensible UI coupled with a very smooth and snappy scrolling and other animations makes it a perfect ROM for a common user. If you are too much into theming, tweaking etc.. stay away from CM9 at the moment until a stable one comes out.
Not much of a battery drain also. Maybe 10% more than stock GB.

ICS KP8
CM9
No thanks no advantage over what i have at present .
Yes to supposed specs when ICS is actually released .

I tested for 2 days the ICS and I must say that the samsung team it's on the good way. ICS will be a wonderful OS to run on SGS2. They still have a lot of bugs to fix, but there are just leaks. We must wait for some official releases.
At the moment you can use ICS just to explore some of the goodies that will be present in the future for our phones. We will have to keep gingerbread for a while
Personally, I want to see the weather on lockscreen fully implemented in the next builds

theres no real ICS for SGS2 right?How could we compare?
we still need to go through 2.3.7 am i right?
No, i find cm7 better than cm9 for now

Personally I don't find ICS the revolutionary change that some people were hyping around. It's an improvement, but not super.
And +1 to the people who mentioned the media part. Once it's fixed I might go to CM9.
And frankly I don't find Trebechet launcher on CM9 smoother than Touchwiz on Gingerboard :/

I am totally agree with Dzel.
Since ICS alpha(not even beta) version. its no good to compare stable GB version.
Again CM9 is much better than CM7.

I am running cm9 as my daily now as most remaining issues are not so important.
I was before on cm7 with Siyah kernel, and honestly, everything was really running smooth. I do not see any big improvment in ICS, and in that point, I am a litle disapointed.
I will stick to cm9 as ICs is now the developped OS, but I was waiting for more big changes from Google.
A litle bit like diff between OSX 10.3, .4, .5 etc etc. No real big changes.

Best ICS rom avail right now

How would we know, the new leak was just released 4/1/12. Try it out and find out for yourself. They all have bugs, nothing most xda-ers would consider deal breaker.

Imilka's AOSP for my money. Slim, fast and reliable.

Stunner. Period.

Stunner, stunner period!!!

It depends. Would you like a complete stock Android experience, or would you like Samsungs S-Pen apps and features?
For the first one Imilka's is great. ICS Stunner, stock android, with lots of tweaks and options, is also a good choice.
If you would like the second, Midnote 3.0 is pretty good.
I'd recommend trying at least those three roms out.
It is difficult for people to recommend roms because of each user specific needs and requirements.
You will have to test them out yourself.
I'm on Midnote 3.0 at the moment and it's pretty good for normal use in my opinion.

Midnote because it's the only one that's given me fully functional Flash.

I tried ICS for the past couple of days, was using Stunner and Imilka's. I used Midnote 3.0 for 5minutes, realised my modem was not working and switched roms (lazy to fix hehe .. All ROMs were speedy, especially setting the UI options to 0.5x performance (not sure what is the exact name of the settings, all i know is that its in developer settings). I can't comment much about the 0.2GHz increase, but it didn't really bother me when i was on LP1.
Between Imilka (was using v7), Midnote 3.0 and Stunner (4.3, latest LP5), Stunner suited me the most because there were less bugs, the ability to change from phone to tablet with more convenience. Mainly Stability/functionality/convenience (eg toggles) issues. Battery life on ICS was not bad, draining 1% for every 1.5 hrs of deep sleep in 2G+Data. However running apps caused my note to be warmer and drain was higher compared to GB.
However Rocketrom v23 + Franco Test kernel still pulled me back to GB today with S-pen full functionality + stock photo editor/ on the fly editing for screenshot. Stability and awesome battery life contributed much as well.

The ICS v. JB thing is covered a lot already elsewhere; the differences are the same for all Android hardware. As for DHD, the ICS ROMs are very stable and mostly feature complete, so they are not progressing as quickly as JB ROMs now. JB ones are also getting very stable and complete, but there are still little bugs here and there.

All thing considered JB is definitively smoother then ICS.
JB devs focused on shortening input->draw lag as much as possible.

I feel that jellybean is much faster than ics. I am comparing the icecoldsandwich and jellytime roms for this.

Yep, IMHO much smoother and faster. Even though it has few bugs, now I just can't go back to ICS after experiencing JB (JellyTime r9.1)

I would say that you can't really compare them as they are different but of course in an ideal world you would say jellybean should be better as it's the upgrade. I think it boils down to personal preference at the end of the day. I am a lover of moving forward with technology and so anything new is good imo (even if it's not good lol)....But others will love Gingerbread, Froyo, ICS or Jellybean for specific reasons be it battery life, look, feel or just that it's what they're used to. You've got to try them all out really before you can decide for yourself...Get flashing

I'm running JellyTime on an Inspire, used IceColdSandwich before. I liked ICS a great deal, but once I flashed JellyTime there's no way I'd go back. I feel like JT runs a bit faster, is definitely smoother, and battery life is roughly comparable.
The whole "which OS is best" thing is highly subjective, and really there's no way to answer it. But for myself, I love JellyTime.

ICS is very stable on DHD.
JB is much more faster that ICS, but has many bugs.
The most important bug is low call quality, it's hard to use it as a daily rom.

Low call quality on what ROM? This has been fixed for quite sometime in almost all the JellyBean ROMs (codefireX, JellyTime, MIUIv4).

Your best bet? Try them all and see what fits. No one person will ever know what you like and don't like except if that person is you. I, like you, and using RB's JellyTime and it works best for me (the bugs are there but it doesn't bother me due to what I use my phone for). That will be different for everyone. Just backup, try out. If you don't like the one you loaded, restore.... and have your charger ready

Currently JellyBean ROM for DHD are smoother because there is no sense on it whereas ICS ROM are less smooth but with sense. OCS Sense ROM are good to use and stable like BlackOut(Sense 3.6) and TrickDroid(Sense 4.0)

It's still there. Maximum volume is too low and sound is noisy.

How's the call quality in JellyTime R10?

Would like to try the JT 10, but not if the call quality is poor.

[Q] most reliable and fastest ics rom for tf101

I'm a bit late to the custom rom game for my tf101 but so far, it seems that after trying cm10, my data and apps are much happier with ICS than JB...which is fine with me since stock .27 has been very, very good to me...stable, reliable and good battery life. The problem is that it's very slow.
I'm currently using ENERGY ICS, but it, like most ICS roms, are going the way of the dodo...it's all about the jelly bean.
The ENERGY rom is working just fine for me so far and No Frills is letting me overclock.
Is anybody still working on ICS?

In my opinion the only super reliable ROMs would be the stock, OEM ROMs such as the one I released. Any other CM9 or CM10 based ROM is a community built ROM and will have its bugs and quirks. If you want solid, day to day reliability and all your ports to work, then stick with ICS. I don't see what you gain with JB anyway, the look virtually the same and the code really hasn't changed much.

Team EOS 3 JB Nightlys & KAT Kernel
100% solid, stable and very fast

I would recommend Revolver 4.x + Guevor's 22.6 kernel. I'm on version 4.1.1 for months now. It's stable, reliable - no SOD or RR at all. Oc'ed kernel to 1.4 GHzso it's smooth and fast.
However I've tried CM10 (RaymanFX) as well. It was even faster and smoother BUT I was suffering from poor Wifi and frequent loss of sound, that's why I decided to go back to Revolver ICS. But I definately will flash JB again, once the issues are solved.

.27 has been very stable for me so that's why I chose the Energy ics rom. I want faster while keeping the reliability. My concern was that since it's not being actively supported very much that it wasn't a finished product.
So far, it's working perfectly for me. I'll put it through the paces over the next few days to torture test it.

Mike just released version 3.6
I have tried many ROM's but keep coming back to ARHD. It is the most stable and has all of the features I want.
Much more smother & stable than the stock ASUS ROM.
Use Harmony:

or
guevor kernel 22.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565519

Best ICS ROM for me hands down would be the latest Revolver. Very smooth and great battery life with dock.

Best ICS ROM for me hands down would be the latest Revolver. Very smooth and great battery life with dock.

I'll keep those in mind if my TF starts getting *****y with me. So far, it's night and day better than stock...faster, smoother and just better all around.
My browser actually loads pages without any problems. I don't have the need to flash for the sake of flashing or even comparing it with the Note 2. The only thing that matters is if what it does is fast/good enough for me.

I tried lots... CM10, Team EOS, Revolver... and they all had major issues making them unusable... plus I like the Asus built-in apps.
Stock (rooted) is the only way to go for me as other ROMs are simply too sluggish. I wish I had time to learn and contribute

I've tried several of the JB and ICS ROMS and always come back to stock 27, rooted and overclocked with guevor's kernel. It's fast and 100% reliable.

I'm not a chronic updater so I mostly look for stability and overall efficiency...not necessarily the newest and fastest...at the expense of stability. Stock ICS .27 has been rock solid for me...no random restarts, good battery life and worked with my apps...(but I don't use a lot of apps).
On the other hand, I do appreciate those who torture test every android iteration so the rest of us can experience vicariously what others are actually doing.
