[Q] Differences between current actively developed roms?

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.

[Q] Are there any disadvantages of "All in 1" style ROM's?

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...

Comparison of CM10.2 based ROMs

I find rom flashing sufficiently annoying that I don't do it often. In fact I've only done it once (over a year ago) with Paranoid Android. But the advances are starting to look significant and I'm contemplating my next rom. I looked casually at the bug list for CM10.2 and it seems that most bugs are minor glitches or things with easy work arounds, and that this base is stable enough to use as a daily driver. If anyone would like to confirm or deny that conjecture I would like to hear your opinion on that.
Assuming one is willing to take the CM10.2 leap, the ROM listing thread shows 7 based on CM10.2:
BeanStalk, crDroid, DARKNESS, Illusion, Krueger, rom-xperia, SGT7, and SuperNexus 3.0
I'm not naive enough to ask which one is best, but to those of you who have compared these seriously, could you offer some comparisons based on some of the important characteristics. Perhaps
- best stability
- best battery life
- best UI smoothness
- largest feature set
- smallest footprint (i.e. reduced bloat)
- best built-in apps
- best built-in kernel
- most popular
- best support
Or if you don't think these are the most important characteristics, feel free to suggest more relevant ones.
I have read large portions of the thread discussing each of these roms, but I still find it difficult to decide which one I would like most..
I'm sure many readers of this forum will be as interested in your responses as I am since at this point there is little of this kind of information out there in a reasonably accessible way.
Thanks in advance for any contributions you can make to this thread.

Unfortunately this type of thread isn't allowed... Even though it looks like you put a lot of thought into it...

[DISCUSSION][AOSPUsers] Dalvik vs ART - Share your experiences!

A quick reminder..
This thread is started for sharing experiences and opinions on the Dalvik vs ART Runtime debate, and because the ART bonus feature only is working at Open Source ROMS (=CM, PAC, Omni, PA etc) at the moment, only users of the mentioned ROMS, or users that have used anyone of the mentioned ROMS with ART enabled, should post so no confusions is made.
Share your opinions on:
- Battery life differences
- Performance differences
- Benchmark differences
- Additional related and important information and guidance that is useful for the Z1 users specially..
Cheers!

ROM comparison

Hey guys,
I am currently thinking of testing another ROM (right now I'm on Omni).
I checked various ROM threads and found the following to be pretty interesting:
@varund7726 's Resurrection Remix (customization seems nice and I may want to try some stuff)
@freshgiammi 's AOSPlusOne (I cried tears of joy when I read about his aim: "Rock steady. This ROM is designed with two things in mind: Security and Stability.")
@NoSpamDan 's Slim7 (I usually like "slim" stuff, i.e. performance > features)
Any thoughts on these ROMs?
How well are the camera performances compared to OmniROM?
Do they really excell at what is claimed? (i.e. does RR offer more customization options, is AOSPlusOne really that steady and is Slim really faster than the others?)
Cheers!

Isn't there several comparison threads already that you can ask in?.. Making dedicated threads for this is redundant and doesn't follow xda guidelines.. Use your powers of search before you post..
