Which is the best (and most stable) ICS Rom? From what I've been reading, it's between "CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC2" and Mimicry 1.4.0.
The CM9-RC2 is a bit off putting because CM9 is now stable, except for us with Desire Z's, so does that mean the best we're going to get is the CM9-RC2? Does the RC2 build here include the latest from CM9-stable that was recently released?
Mimicry, on the other hand, I've read includes the CM9 stable but I think that's only for 1.4.1, which is still in testing phase, so again that means that 1.4.0 is the only stable release for it at the moment.
Meanwhile, CM10 is too beta for me to even consider at the moment.
by the way it's "CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC2" Unofficial not just "CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC2" as it doesn't come from the Cyanogenmod team. The unofficial one is just a port by Jerl92 who just happened to use their name for it. Mimicry is just as much a CM9 port as the rest (but least he takes the latest CM9 heads from their git when compiling new source).
But far as best, for me it's a toss up between Mimicry (Andromadus branch of CM9 sources) and EliteMod (which uses AOKP as a rom, but Jerl's CM9 kernel).
To clear up the confusion as to what constitutes CM9 stable, stated in the release post for 1.4.0 here.
CM9 has an official stable release and all those patches have been merged into Mimicry 1.4.0. This is still a beta release, since we suffer from unofficial drivers and such, but it may be as close as we get for AOSP ICS.

try CM10 builds from Flinny http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605016 - quick & stable. of course some glitches here and there, but overall it works better than CM9 - I think its worth trying!
i've use a CM9 , (works good, with one or 2 small bugs )
Mimicry, the best
I'm using Mimicry 1.4.0, but I've used many others roms, in the recent past.
This is, by far, the best ICS rom, for me: smooth, stable and beautiful.
even essmersi
at this time i"ve use a testbuilds of JB and ICS..
and its faster and smoother than CM9.
But have bug with camera..
ASAP i've to test a mimicry

CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC2 - 2.6 Kernel is good
not download cyanogenmod 9 from kernel 3.x ( kernel 3.x have a bug for the moment )
download CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC2
Mimicry 1.4.0 is about perfect. For me it's just the first custom ROM after stock gingerbread with sense. I don't regret at all having lost htc sense, the phone is faster and ics with nova Launcher has enough eyecandy and shortcuts by itself.

First custom ROM I tried was Andromadus Audacity beta4 which was very good, but after some time I switched to Andromadus Mimicry which is even better imo. I've used Mimicry 1.1.2, 1.3.0 and 1.4.0 and I can highly recommend it.
Few days ago I switched to Andromadus test builds (by Flinny) which is CM10 Jelly Bean. So far that also seems very good though there are some bugs. The only really annoying bug for me that I've noticed is that the Fn button on the hw keyboard doesn't work at all for me, so I can't use the hw keyboard for any numbers or special characters (I have the scandinavian hw keyboard).

I usually hold it when using it. Have tried both ways holding and without. Still doesn't work. Though now I noticed that it does work with few keys. Fn only seems to work with @, æ and ø to produce ~, ? and !, but doesn't work with any other key. So I can use Fn to produce ~?! and I don't even have to hold it, but I can't get any other special characters or numbers with it.

I just updated from Flinny's build 85 to 92 (the newest atm) and now Fn works almost normally. I can write all special characters (yay \o/) with Fn but now it sticks even if I press it only once (not twice and not holding). So now if I press Fn (and release) it stays on (like caps lock on PC) until I press it again two times. Normally after one press it would just affect the next key press but not the following after that.
And strangely it seems to be the same problem with shift keys now.

If you're using Swiftkey 3, that's a reported bug with that keyboard, not an issue with the rom.

I think both roms are good, mimicry is based on CM9, it just adds more feature so i suggest you to try mimicry.

Actually I just started using SwiftKey 3 a few days ago. Thanks for the tip! I tried switching back to default keyboard and with that Fn seems to work perfectly now on build 92 (Finnish keyboard).
I'll still continue using Swiftkey though.
There is no such thing as a best Rom, each rom meets the needs of users in diffrent ways, best advice try lots of diffrent roms and find one that suits you.
Please no more what is the best rom threads.

Hey guys,
I just recently got my Nexus 10 and after making sure everything is fine with it I want to go ahead and root it.
Since I'm using a HTC Sensation as my phone I know how much a good ROM can improve the user experience and I'm looking for a nice ROM with good battery life.
Normally it's pretty easy to find a thread with a poll, or suggestions etc. but I'm out of luck when it comes to the N10 - haven't found anything yet.
Which ROM would you recommend as a good starting point to try out?
Rather than a poll or suggestions, it'll be better if you try it out different ROMs on your own since most ROMs here are fairly stable. Just remember to read their features and stuff..
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Personally I recommend starting with CM. They have the easiest to use custom interface and pretty much everything just works fantastic. PA has gobs of customization but it is far from the smoothest experience on the N10. I personally just don't like AOKP.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Try a few to see what you like. Personally, I'd go with the latest AOKP PUB build. TONS of customization options, extremely stable, and the PUB extras make it smoother and faster.
I have run most of the ROMs and I prefer TeamEOS followed by AOKP. They both have built in custom optional tweaks.

This ! if you like the customizations that AOKP offers try Mr.Robinsons AOKP PUB (Project Unicorn Butter).
I have to say i was a little bit disappointment with CM 10.1 on the manta, using it on my I9100 since almost 1.5 years.
In My Opinion AOKP PUB works better on our Device
Thanks for the replys guys, it's a lot easier for me to know which threads to look for now, thank you!

I'm using that one too, and it's great. And if you pair it with KTManta kernel you get a pretty customizable set up.
I don't know why, but Mr Robinson's was a bit of a nightmare for me. I tried twice (clean install) but each time one of my favorite apps, FX Explorer, would lock up when trying to set up/access remote locations and then the N10 would just reboot. It happened repeatedly whether I used TiBU to restore data or installed fresh from the Store. This doesn't happen with the AOKP (mr1, build 6) I'm on now. The final straw, though, was rebooting from recovery (didn't do anything, went in and changed my mind) and couldn't get past the lock screen.
Anyone have an idea what the hell was going on?

No, I asked because I had instability problems with that kernel, until I found out they were caused by improper gpu voltages.
But wiith the stock kernel and Mr.Robinson's rom my Nexus was rock solid, so I can't help you there.
I prefer AOKP ROM, because he faster that stock, he has many settings and very customize. Also he has good performance at games and benchmarks.
I decided to try the AOKP Pub by mrRobinson and I'm very satisfied so far
Might try Paranoid next, or I'll just stick with this one for a while - we'll see. You just have so many options to play around with on an Android device... it's beautiful.

Stock, because all the ROMs I've tried have been buggy and don't offer a great deal of additional functionality. I do have high hopes for PA though, once thier multi-window is finished. I have rooted the tablet though, mainly for the aosp browser.
I haven't had any real bugs with CM and PA, but AOKP has some weird theming bugs with settings not taking.
I use Pacman, which has CM, PA, and AOKP... All in one package.
KTManta kernel is hands-down my favorite kernel, as well.
PA was put on my Nexus straight away since I detest the phablet look, but now they're adding other things such as halo which is great. Plus PA makes mes want a Nexus 4 to get the most out of it on my phone too.

PA is nice and a great ROM, but if you need performance, sadly, it sucks. I haven't tried the latest build with halo, but on 3.15 the performance is really bad on games.
I use PA for the Hybrid engine. It is truly brilliant. I get very few errors in terms of performance and the tablet crashes occasionally but it's worth it--especially for Halo alone. Hopefully they will start to develop the Halo functionality in regards to tablets having multi-window rather than stacked Halo processes.

Mmuzzy's rom. Close to stock, rooted, with a couple little tweaks. Check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071082
Rasbeanjelly + franco.Kernel
Not a ton of customization, lightweight, fast and optimized. And can use the same combination across all my devices (N4, N7, and N10).
I never used PA, but have heard quite a few reports of it being somewhat on the worse-side for performance.
Carbon ROM, felt the smoothest for me and had all the customizations I needed. A second for me would be Sentinel ROM. I guess it depends on what your main preference is. If its AOSP (stock), PA, cyanogen, or AOKP. They all offer something different. The best way is try a ROM and see if you are comfortable with the usage of that ROM. Also Kernel can also help play a role in your ROM choice.
I use the last RasSaber build, dont know where it is available anymore though. It gives me enough of the customization that I want, a nice built in theme, and very smooth performance with great battery life. For kernel I use the KTManta kernel because it offers the best battery life through undervolting and also gives me the best performance. Lots of fun options with it if your into that sort of thing.
Can you please share the rom if you have the package ? I dont find it neighter

I like EOS ROM + Trinity kernel for outstanding performance and just the right amount of features I need.
But rasbeanjelly, RasSaber, Sabermod, and Sentinel are all top notch in my book.

And by PA you guys are reffering to Paranandroid right?
So would you recommend sticking to rooted stock rom? Is that stablet enough for Battery/Gaming/OverallPerformance
You can if you want to, but you can get more performance on custom stuff. Or less performance but a LOT more features if you choose ParanoidAndroid.

Someone should do a performance check on PAC ROM. If it has all these features from different ROMs, including P.A. then it *should* also have similar performance right? Would be pretty weird if another dev who ported Paranoid Android features got it working way better when mixed with even more things on top.

I prefer AOKP PUB builds.
When I try to install this rom, I get stuck on a bootloop. After several minutes I manually restart my tablet, the set up menu pops up. The navigation bar is on the right side of the screen instead of it being below and all you see is a really small "back" button. Once I finish setting up, the tablet starts to lag and isn't usable. Anyone out there experiencing this issue & can I get a possible fix? I really enjoy this rom on my phone but it's frustrating that I can't seem to get it to work on my tablet. Any help would be great.

I don't think he can, there is a minimum post count to post in dev forum.
thefnshow66, I had this issue as well, I even wiped everything beforehand. I would wait for 2.9 if you really want to run Liquid. In the meantime Purity AOSP, Buttered Manta AOKP from mrRobinson, and Carbon ROM CM are the best ones to try depending on which flavor suits you best. Trinity and KTManta are the best kernels to use. (I prefer Trinity)
I have been using Liquid Roms since my OG DROID and they were always solid, but their quality control for Manta has been somewhat lackluster, last couple builds had broken bluetooth, and this one has some serious SystemUI issues.

thanks for the reply. Every Rom I've tried has had some issue. I really like rootbox but I noticed that the menu button doesn't work for me. Buttered Manta AOKP is the closest Rom I've found that works great but it still doesn't halo added to it yet. I really liked that liquid smooth ran with Nova Launcher right away and it has halo now but the sysem UI after 2.5 sucked. I tried contacting the developer over twitter and I've gotten no reply. I might have to try Carbon.

Carbon's great, but I don't think it has HALO (unless I've missed an OTA or something, which granted is 100% possible). In any event, you may well get enough posts responding to this thread to go post in the Liquid thread.
Personally, though, if you can take Carbon, I'd run with that. It's been much kinder to me than Liquid, which was my daily driver for a long time on my Galaxy Nexus (and then my Nexus 7/Nexus 10 consequently).
