[POLL]Fastest and most stable ICS rom

Hi all!
I made this thread so it will be clear which ICS rom is the fastest at the moment.
Roms included in poll:
Kwiboo's ICS v3
Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha 12
NexusBeam HD (latest version)
(ICS) Android 4.0 by eugene373
Cyanogenmod 9 Kangs (latest)
NexusMV 2.xx.xx
If you vote for a rom, please use the latest version of it. .. Dont forget to vote peepzz!

I haven't tried eugene's rom, but the Nexus Beam has been the fastest and most stable of the rest. Still, I hear good things about eugene's rom, so maybe I'll try it. But nothing beats GB... Yet..

So far... Eugenes
Kang Kang Kang a Gong get it on.....

Asop v26 for ns4g
Follow the leader @corythug

So far it'd be Beam 2.xxx.xxx, fast stable and smooth as baby's bum!

looks like cm9 kangs are ahead so far.

Honestly, though, how many people are fit to vote? How can you judge which is the most reliable if you haven't tried all of them?
More of a poll of which ROM everyone is on, as opposed to which is the most reliable.
Just a thought...

So as far as the NS4G, I think that CM9 KANGS has smoothest UI experienced the least lag if any but AOSP's rom definitely has faster 3g

I've tried all of them except Eugene's. The kangs were the fastest until I tried out Drew Garens beta 2. IMO that is the fastest right now although all of the roms lag in comparison to gingerbread. I am starting to get jealous of the speed of my girlfriends stock Nexus S....

Kiwiboo v3 is the best for me. Honestly no issues (i.e. Wifi, keyboard, market, calendar apps all work out of the box.)
Whenever I read a kang thread there is someone having issues, NexusBeam HD some aren't able to download apps from the Market etc.
Kiwiboo takes it for having a working ICS port with no hassle.

that was just a statement of observation, since i opened this thread the first time.
but, if you want to go there, how do you judge fastest when every user has their own experience. the same with reliability. we all look for these roms to fullfill our individual needs, and our individual needs all differ. so, i can probably say, these roms are all fast and reliable, or they wouldnt be on this list

I agree CM9 Kangs are definitely the ones to favor and will outright win this poll because:
1. It has CM on it.
People will blindly believe these are the best ones without trying others.
ZOMG CyanogenMod!!! *crackflashes*
2. It's the most frequently updated.
People always believe the latest ROMs will be better than previous ones. (See NexusBeam HD and now Android 4.0 from Eugene.)
New ROM ... need to fill crackflashing addiction ...

I cant decide between nexusbeam hd and latest kang.. i runned both.. but kang is better cuz it has all the apps. Im waiting on nexusbeam 2.2 update.. then i can compare with latest kang

Sorry, I didn't mean to be calling you out, but just talking about the poll in general.
I'm sure all the ROMs are great, just YMMV for any of them!
Personally I'm on CM also - updates are available through ROM Manager and it was stable enough for me.

Latest kang for me. Paired with the latest seuv. Snappy, better battery life

i never thought you were. my first line in that statement is a bit misleading. i see that after rereading what i wrote
also, i have to say, when i flash a rom, i usually take my favorite kernel with me. so, whatever rom im on at the time, is the fastest and most reliable rom for me

This is true, I feel. I was trying different ROMs at first, but I've noticed I've stuck with CM9 kangs, and I'm REALLY sticking to em now since I flashed today's kang + morfic's SEUV 13b ICS kernel. The speed boost I got today was amazing. With the underclock, it's faster than the early roms were when overclocked.
This is, in reality, going to be a poll about how many people use each rom.

Which rom is good for daily use??

Hi, I have a question: I aim getting a new nexus 4 (by June 10) and I wanted to ask a few question. 1. Which color should I get. (Prefer black but open for suggestion) and 2. Which cm10.1/PAC/ SlimBean rom should I prefer??? Nightly builds would be ok but RC or weekly builds would be ok... I will flash it within a week of getting it. I will be getting this phone for primary use so basic calling function is needed

Every rom is good for daily use. Most rom's are rock solid and stable. Even the nightlys only have minor bugs. These are the advantages on nexus devices.
Get the black nexus. The only-back-white one looks kind of weird.

You have to decide on your own. You have to make that judgement call. When you get your phone, flash the ROM and see if you like it or not base on your wants.

As above. Most are very stable. If you want a kind of stock android on steroids then CyanogenMod is great. Very professionally run team and the roms (even the nightlies) are smooth and without bugs. If you like customisation then AOKP, AOSPA or one of the derivatives are great. Also very smooth and solid but with more original features and you can customise just about anything.

Carbon Rom. Hands down.

Can anyone tell me the main differences between xylon rom and aokp? I'm really confused what to flash :S

I would vote for CyanogenMod or any derivative of it - find one that suits your needs regarding updates and features...

Only thing I dislike about cm is their refusal to put navigation bar resize.
Try carbon if you haven't yet. It's the best of all roms. It has features from cm, aokp, paranoid android. The latest alpha currently has paranoid androids halo feature. All while maintaining the best speed. Only complaint is that goo servers are slightly slow. So if you plan on giving the rom a try them look at the last couple pages for a mirror and you'll download the rom faster.

Would really help if anyone could explain this to me?

Any rom based off CyanogenMod is stable enough for daily use, Whether it be AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, PacMan etc.

Thanks for this great thread there should be a users feedback about every Rom ,to make things easy on other users,I will try the carbon myself and see what it looks like

They already have that... you just have to look in each thread and the last couple of pages would of give you a good reflection on what the rom is like. Some people on youtube do video reviews on the rom too.

Official CM11-Nightlies for N7 flo

I am not a developer by any stretch. I posted here because I had nothing to do with this and take no credit. Moderators, feel free to delete or move, or re-word this. There are OFFICIAL CM11 Nightlies available and it should be known. I am a long time fan of CM Roms. I am surprised there isn't an Official Thread already.
Download ROM: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=flo
I am currently using Invisiblek's Gapps found here: http://www.invisiblek.org/gapps/
Obviously thank you to whomever is working on the Flo CM11 Official ROMS and the entire CM team. You guys are awesome!! I am not taking any credit whatsoever, just trying to get the word out!! Whomever the developer is that is actually working on this please make yourself known to get the recognition. I am excited and look forward to further builds!!!!
CM is the best!!!!!
Added bonus.. [4.4/4.4.x][PATCH] Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik & Bionic libraries
These really do work.. installed them on my VZW GS4 and also now on my N7 Flo for a performance boost.. Who needs ART? Link is for the OP, I had nothing to do with these either.
Antuntu: 24220 Quad: 9585 (on N7 Flo with 12/30 Nightly)

I have been CM fan since CM 6, it has been my absolute favourite rom on all my nexus devices.
UNTIL RECENTLY...........somehow they decided to stop using aosp and made their own code, it is incompatible with most of the kernels out there, leaving us with very few choices. =/
Also I find it a little odd that you are posting this after like 2 months lol.

Can anyone get otg to work?

I've also been looking for an official thread for a while.
I'm ruining cm11 m2 and I've been experiencing a few issues and I'm wondering if
they are happening to anyone else and if they are fixed in the latest nightlies
1. Random reboots(rare)
2. Keyboard weirdly unresponsive
3. 6th dockbar icon won't set.
4. Don't remember...

I haven't seen any issues like that so far. Will keep an eye out though.

I don't know whats happening to everybody..
really i think CM is overdoing it.. i can't remember the last great feature they added..
and they take a real long time to release a stable build.. maybe people decided to stay with
root stock rom and use the xposed framework with gravity box.. and maybe a custom kernel.

Last time I was running CM11 the audio would periodically freeze/buzz while watching videos. Can anyone confirm if this is still the case?

I think uoure right. Maybe people have some afraid to root their devices.
Im still like CM always did. Theyre the best in custom roms.
Lets keep this good topic live. Thank you all.

I'm actually surprised that this thread is this short :| been on cm11 just yesterday and i've encountered 1 lockup, dozens of audio/video glitches with mx player

The buzz noise is directly related to the kernel.
Flash glitches new kernel v121 or newer and it'll completely disappear.
Just fyi, there is maybe 1-2 that work on the devices, kinda a **** move to complain about stable releases. Just because it's goggles new x.y.z Doesn't even mean that piece of crap is actually stable.
With that said since day one of nightlies minus kernel buzz, it's been rock solid. WiFi only here though.

I'm using the 4-21 CM 11 nightly and it works great. ElementalX has a CAF kernel now which is a huge plus. I opted to try the beta Xposed Framework that is CM compatible and so far so good. I added Gravity Box as well to get a working PIE function as well as a few other extras. No complaints from me. CM 11 for Flo has come a long way.
Note: Trying Xposed and Gravity Box may or may not work for you when running this ROM. I recommend having a Nandroid backup in your recovery just in case you try them.

I don't know why but no caf kernels work with my official cm
I even tried aosp kernels with no luck

Yeah, too bad. I used 10.1.3 I think it was for a while. Over the last month or so I've tried a few out here on the boards. The unofficial CM11 is really nice but eats my battery away. I was using one from August, then upgraded last week to the October one and it was much bugier. Right now I'm using SlimKat... I think I like CM better overall but SlimKat is really nice. I've run into a few bugs, the Menu/Home/Back/Search buttons won't light on notification. That's the one feature that seems not to work that I really miss.. But SlimKat is nice enough and gives me twice the battery life as the unofficial CM11.

Ooh, I didn't know anyone was going to do a Lollipop ROM. That's exciting, thanks! Also never heard of CyanFox, I'll have to check that out. I really hope there's a SlimPop (or whatever they call it) ROM for our phone... I'm really loving the performance and battery life on this.
Also, if anyone could help me out... what effect battery life? Is it mostly the apps and base system, or can the kernel itself be a big part of it?

Haven't tried CM with my 6P since I read that it's buggy and has issues with bluetooth.
Been running PN exclusively for months and never have any problems with it. It just works and the PN thread is very active.

Both are very nice rom bases.
Some people like cm but some like aosp (pure nexus).
Stock rom is always boring and have no features.
Flash 2-3 roms and check their features...
Almost all roms are stable but difference is features...
I like Dirty Unicorn... It's aosp based with cyanogen theme engine + a hell lot of features...

Im using Pure Nexus at the moment, but i want to try something else.
Years ago i only used CM but with that whole new Microsoft, Cortana **** i dont know.

I like Pure Nexus (and AOSP in general) better because it's still stock Android with additional features. It is boring compared to CM and CM based ROMS but that is what also makes AOSP based ROMs less buggy. While CM goes in the opposite direction. If you want a ROM that you can customize down to the littlest detail, go with CM. Just be aware of the Bluetooth bug found in every CM based ROM.

Benzo Rom is really good, I been running it for about a month and it's stable as. As for Cortana its actually pretty good, I've been using 'her' a lot in the Xbox Preview Program and it's actually incredible, Xbox is actually the perfect platform for 'her'

I have used CM12/13 on my Nexus 5 since the last 2 years and have loved every minute of the Cyanogen experience.
Recently got the Nexus 6p. Unlocked and rooted it the same day. Used CM13 on it for a week and found that my phone was randomly restarting. Used Resurrection Remix since i was not satisfied with CM13. Loved the level of customization RR offers, but was still experience random reboots along with other bugs. Have been using Pure Nexus since 3 days now and am glad to note that the random reboot issue seems to have been resolved. Although PN does not offer the level of customization that comes with CM/RR ROMs, it does offer the overall stability and amazing battery life. Which for me is a priority.

It may just be me but, I can't use CM. Every time I install a CM based ROM on my phone I get noticeably worse signal. Instead of having 4G where I am, I will have 3G. The moment I switch back to an AOSP based ROM (DU, Pure Nexus) I go back to getting normal signal. I can't say its CMS fault because I never really read up on CM causing this issue for anyone else so its purely anecdotal.

CM is caf based where it gets updates from Qualcomm directly which is why your signal bars look lower. That is your actual signal unlike aosp ROMs which aren't accurate.
