CM10 vs SlimBean vs HellyBean

[loonieryan]

Currently CM9 on my wife's Captivate but it's messed up right now and I figure I might as well upgrade it to JB now. Which ROM is best between these 3 options:

1. CM10
2. HellyBean
3. SlimBean

Anyone using CM10 or SlimBean: do you feel any lag due to the lack of /datadata?

From what I gather they are all fairly equal, but it seems slightly different for everyone. Flash one and try it.
I have been on slim for awhile. Love it.

I could be very wrong but to my understanding the roms you've listed have all transitioned to the same partition layout and should all include the datadata partition. With that being said I have never used CM10 so I can't tell you much about it. Of the other two I would have to choose Hellybean. Its not that I don't like Slim as I've used it quite often and check out their new works often. It's just that Helly seems to give the best balance of features and stability plus I think my phone runs a little smoother with the devil kernel.

As always your experiences will likely vary and it's all a matter of how your cappy runs and what settings you use.

I've tried only a few different roms from 2.3 to 4.1.2 and Slim Bean 4.1.2 thus far is what i have found to be the best. Well, technically 4.1 as I just put on 4.1.2 yesterday. So far, no major problems.

My experiences is that 4.1 stayed smooth and fast and EVERY other rom eventually slowed down or started slow. Hellybean, Dark Knight, Fasty, Firefly (2nd favorite). I forget what else I've tried, but I would vouch for Slim Bean as being awesome. Only problem i've had is a few random shut downs which is a known bug. Other than that, good battery life, no reception issues, very little lag.

Hellybean, it was snappy at the start but eventually got laggy. I was sad cause i thought I liked it. Took me forever to try to call someone eventually.

I haven't been on SlimBean since shortly after the move to JB but I do remember it being a good rom. I have been on Helly (Salty Bean actually) for quite a while now and prefer the better balance of features and stability. It really is up to each individual though. I definitely recommend trying them all out.

so basically what is the difference of slim bean to cm10.1? and all of you saying stability.. did your phone hangs, or shutdown? been using cm10.1 for a month now no problem so far for me..

They're all stable if flashed correctly. The difference is in the user as it's up to personnal preference.

CM 10.1

Very good to me! Slim is very nice as well (kind of biased from history of CM devices)
