Hey everyone, been lurking mostly and first time posting. I'm not one for having the best newest rom. I am looking for something that can be my daily driver. Currently I'm using cm10.0 12/16 build lol because anything I've ever tried has been really buggy. I'm looking for anything Smoother, reliable and better battery.

Thanks for your help!

Carbon if you want AOSP
Beans 10 build if you want touchwiz.

I reccommend stock 4.1.2 leak with my MODS ;)
if you want stock touchwiz newest with MODs..

if you want a 4.1.1/4.1.2 AOSP ROM, I personally suggest ParanoidAndroid 2.5.6

and if you want AOSP 4.2 I'd would sugggest BAMF Paradigmn, but that isn't public yet, so my next is Carbon ROM is nice, Slim is great, and Eclipse is awesome if you want a nice dark theme and a great ROM..

I personally use stock kernel on touchwiz, and whatever comes in the ROMs for AOSP.

Thanks for the recommendation guys. I'm not a big fan of touch wiz and much prefer aosp.

What are your opinions on aokp?

I personally use Cm10.1 with Imos lean kernel. It is daily worthy but I suggest using the unofficial builds. I have been very happy.

Been using carbon for the day. Loving it so far. Super snappy. Only thing I noticed was 4g drops sometimes between wifi hand off.

I'll be trying eclipse soon

Agreed, I would definitely go with mastamoon's unofficial build, if only for the GPS revert. I prefer lk as well, but the stock kernel has gotten better.

I am using CleanRom 4.5 with Apex Launcher, it has been rock solid, I just can't get myself to switch to any other ROM, everything just works. You get the AOSP look with the TW features I want.

I honestly think this is your best bet. Though the AOSP roms are snappy and simple, there are still way too many bugs. I'm on CleanRom as well and it's very smooth with virtually no bugs. You can even theme your phone to resemble AOSP while still having the luxury of using all the addons touchwiz has to offer.

I've gotten absolutely amazing battery life as well as speed and reliability. There is only one bug and that is a lack of pattern lock which many roms have.

As I said above this ROM also has virtually no bugs and is very nicely put together. If you do in fact go with clean however, don't put a launcher on it because it ruins the purpose of a custom rom.

I don't normally use a pattern lock, but I just set one up and it seemed to work fine for me. I am using a CM10.1 unofficial that I've repo-sync'd and built myself this morning. I added a few cherry-picks, but they shouldn't have directly affected that.

My personal favorites are as follows:

AOSP: Carbon or Eclipse
TW: Beans or Synergy

Currently on Carbon with KT747 kernel and perfomance/battery life is out of this world!

What bugs? Seriously, what bugs are there that I keep hearing about?

I am running the damn ROM and I don't experience bugs, but if I listened to everyone else I'd swear I did! :p

You are so right, I experience none myself but everyone on TW based ROMs or things like carbon think AOSP is very buggy.

I've lately been wanting a speedy, stable, and battery lasting rom. If you're looking for that TW is the way to go for that. I'm using Edgehood's delta rom right now and it's been great. Running Lean kernel 1.8. I like AOSP as well, but the lack of stable data connection has kept me off of it.

It's not that buggy at all. It's the stable data connection which is still a little off. It definitely has come a long way. Reason why I'm still on TW for right now.

CleanRom 5.6 with Heinz 57 theme running anthrax kernel is the bomb. They also have a working flashable AOSP MMS in the theme and apps section.

    I recommend the unofficial CM10.1 builds made by Masta.
