So...We have a number of what I can see are spectacular or fairly spectacular roms available for this device...with a lot of work I'm left to imagine having been poured into them by their respective development teams. I'm curious public sentiments on pro's/con's etc of the various top crop floating around at the moment...since most are based on cm10 or aosp, what's the real difference between most of them?
Most current ROMs are based on either CM10/AOSP or the stock ICS release from ASUS. The Energy ROM , Revolved and ARHD are all based on the stock ICS. All the jellybean ROMs are based on CM10. Some have different features added to them depending on who compiles them. Paranoid, AOKP, etc.

I've installed EOS, Bugless Beast and Unofficial CM9 Rom's expecting to see vast differences between them but tbh they're like 99% the same. Same menu's, icons, colours, wallpapers, fonts etc and only slight differences in the settings menu. I've also noticed virtually no difference in performance between them. The only major differences are whether they force close or not..........I've got a rooted HTC DHD on which I installed CM 7.1 and it rocks, totally different on all levels to the standard HTC dross. Then installed MIUI onto it and again totally different and awesome. I was expecting the same sort of differences between these Rom's but they're not, they're almost identical.....so why are they so similar? Will they end up with vast differences in the future?
MIUI and CM are supposed to be different.
These roms...not so much right now. And as far as I'm aware, the EOS settings make it unique.
Eventually the different teams will work on making the code more efficient, adding in more features, maybe adding support for themes, etc. Its a slow process. Sit back and enjoy.

As I suspected...........
I'm in the exact same boat as you coming from a DHD with tonnes of options for roms etc, each a unique experience.
As the aboce posters said it must be a new scene, I'm just hoping there will be some 3Gdevs as from what i read its a rarer device
I've tried a few of the 3rd party ROM's, and frankly I wasn't impressed. While the additional settings were neat, that was it. However the stock ICS seems far more stable, which is more important that neat features, so I stuck with that.
As for the scene in general, if you view Android 1.x through 2.x as Android V1, and 3.x - 4.x as Android v2 it makes more sense. ICS is that different from GB. And it took years for the Android community to do all it's work with Android V1, so expect it to take 6 months or so for Android V2 at least.
You're conparing it to your own experience, where you used HTC senseUI, CM (stock based), and MIUI. All vastle different.
All ICS ROMS on Xoom are AOSP based I believe. As said above, additional options will ever be the only change. Mods already exist, however.
I see all these ROMs in the subsection for them and I can't find a single one that's actually decent. Since CM9 development has ceased and Pershoot isn't releasing any JB roms (since the 16th) there's really no decent, stable, lightweight ICS option that I can find for our tablets.
Requests:
Lightweight
3.0+ Kernel
ICS
P4/P7500 support
Am I missing a specific build? I've tried like 4 or 5 of them and they always turn out to be slow and unresponsive or they don't support the P4/P7500 so I can't get 3G connectivity. The 3.0+ kernel works amazingly well with Chrome and has a lot of enhancements for Android in general.
Tried:
CM9/CM10
AOSP JB Alpha
AOKP
Others

well, I am not sure what's your are looking or asking, but I can tell that I am on AOSP JB Alpha, and quite happy with performance, its smoothness, only thing so far front camera does not works, but it is matter of time developer get fix that. CM10 is identical to AOSP JB Alpha. In fact, why they call Alpha no idea, in my opinion it should be called beta. In my experience, I got OTA update from Samsung for ICS 4 (USA stock firmware I am referring), I said finally Samsung!, but after several days playing with it, I realized it is becoming slow and laggy, so i backed up everything and gave a try to MapleSyrup's [ROM][JB][AOSP][ALPHA] Android 4.1.1 - Jelly Bean - [GT-P7510][SCH-I905].
I've not got a N4 yet but it will be interesting to know which is preferred. On my Note the clear winner is CM with stability, battery life and performance. Obviously AOSP has more customisations but performance is sacrificed.
CM seems less popular here with people going with PAC or PA. Maybe CM is more infantile here?

Your question doesn't really make sense. CM is AOSP. All ROMs are based off AOSP.
You're getting your terminology wrong here. Unless you mean AOKP rather than AOSP?
Personally I don't use CyanogenMod because it lacks the feature of changing the navigation height/width; whereas, other ROMs have that feature.

on a legacy platform cm rules everything and nothing touches it. most other roms will either base on cm completely or depend on its build trees.
this is nexus, we get source, drivers, kernels and vendor blobs directly from google. developers can just start programming - no one needs to hack through locked bootloaders or bs like that. it reverses the rules, aosp roms will be popular ofc because they are usually faster up to date, have less fallouts and bring more features.

yes, but you got to stretch it to make room for hundreds of incompatible devices that want a slice of google android. much of it you can branch out, some of it you have to mix into the android sourcebase. theres more weight to it and greater responsibility.
Hi guys, I am currently on AOSPA 3.60 ROM and think its a great ROM love the per app control I have and it seems to run very very smooth, I notice little to no bugs.
However I like the all in one style idea that would give me an extra level of customisation by being able to use AOKP and CM tweaks.
But is there any disadvantage of basically having 3 ROM's in one? does this cause issues with overlapping settings? are there more bugs? do things run slower?
Basically tossing up whether I want to stick with PA which is rock solid for me or go to an all in one ROM for those extra settings and tweaks?
Cheers
Chris
I have never had great luck with the roms that combine too many features because they seem to start to lag after just a couple days and some of the settings menus don't work exactly right. You should definitely check it out to formulate your own opinion though.

I've found the best stability in roms that pick a flavor and stick with it, while most do incorporate *some* features from popular roms, the unstable ones tend to be the ones that try to incorporate everything but the kitchen sink.
For example, SlimBean is based off AOSP (android open source project), but does incorporate some things like the kernel from cyanogenmod on certain devices.
the more crap, the more bugs(and chances for bugs).
Thank you guys, I guess I might have to give one a try and if there are to many bugs then revert back to PA
Might be irrelevant or just plain unlucky for me, but with PAC, Revolt, Xylon, etc I've had worse battery than say AOKP or Dirty Unicorns. So maybe battery what with all the extra things having to run and going on would be affected
Speed, meh. All feels the same to me
Bugs, definitely more in the all-in-one's
Stability, depends...

strange their is no massive improvement in custom roms section as compared to HTC ONE. No more devs are taking intrest for our beloved s4. it's really strange. Waiting for some nice custom roms.............
not strange since the exynos version has closed drivers which samsung won't release so Aosp for it would be a pain but custom touchwiz Roms there will be a lot of these
as for qualcom one there seem to be more users but still not enough
so give this device some time and a 4.3 update and this place will be flowing with custom Roms and some nice kernels 2
I was wondering the same thing but then looked closely. A lot of the One's roms are based on stock with tweaks and stuff.. We still have all the aosp/aokp/cm etc roms built from the ground up for the i9505 at least.
Give it time, still a relatively new device. Runs well so far as it is. Should pick up once the GE edition is out, more so for the i9505 if based on same hardware. Although I for one prefer TW due to it's features, camera etc.
