In terms of features, there are a whole lot more, you can use not apps that are just for ics, you can customize your phone a whole lot more, and it's a completely different and better Android version. In terms of performance, they are very, very fast and a lot smoother. And in terms of stability, they've been working just fine for me, only had one random reboot in the beginning. And it freezes less for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heniki:
In terms of drain?

Currently, my battery lasts 16hours
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
On AOKP, the battery has been pretty bad so far, but I'm waiting a few days to let it stabilize, and it might just be me. But on cm9, the battery was pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] snipersquad8:
So far I'm liking AOKP best. CM9 is AOSP as far as it can be, and AOKP is CM9+ in my opinion. MIUI felt sort of like an iPhone on crack, so I didn't like it. But some people love simplicity, and I used MIUI on my HD2 for the longest time (until it went for a swim with me a few months ago). But you should try everything once, right?

That's funny and its awesome that the devs over here could explode all the ice creamy goodness so quickly

Reread that and realized how bad it sounded

O and I just read that erikmm is backing off PA and letting dnick handle it :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KotsChopShop:
I'm interested in trying the latest gooey goodness which is Paranoid, but so far, for me personally, Erik's Miui 020 is/was BEAST ..battery drain was a vampire, but if we could get a working camcorder for that'n, I'd be all over it, all over again

(actually contemplating because it's the smoothest, fastest ROM with the best overall options I've run to date)

I wouldn't mind trying Miui4, but it seems each build is so fundamentally different, that's it's pretty much redundant because the apps and/or launchers, and therefore experience, is drastically changed with each build :/

I'm on FB's AOKP port atm - scrolling lags and jitters (not horribly, but just enough to make you cringe) and battery drain is significant atm (only 24hrs into it) - I love all the customizing options, they're phenomenal, but there's something I just don't like about it, can't put my finger on it

but all of this boils down to opinion and the user's needs.. if you want something infallible, bad ass, and suits your specific likes and wants, you're going to have to Frankenstein it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Haha yea why should I have all the fun just cus I ported it first ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Tried CM9, MIUI4, AOKP. Thoughts:

MIUI is nice. Completely different experience, especially regarding root. It's a more curated approach, and great if mixing things up makes you nervous.

AOKP is awesome. Bits of it seem weird still, but I generally find it as my fav. The options built into the settings make it feel more 'me' than the other two. Also, it's the only one of the three with update notification and TWRP built-in currently.

CM9 is clean. There's some things I miss from AOKP, especially my weather info on lockscreen, but battery life is amazing.

For now, I'm running AOKP. I don't feel locked into any of the three yet, but... depends on further support and how they clean up when all the hardware hits final.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ipaq_101:
I have tried all of them:

1) Paranoid Andorid & AOKP are tied right now

2) CM9

I am really fighting the urge to go back to AOKP, as nice as Paranoid Android is, it lags somewhat and isn't as smooth....yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
If you're talking about scrolling lag.

Settings > ROM Control > Performance > Scrolling cache > Default enable

Same here! Most of it is internal, but with nothing to go buy to know what each dev has tweaked... there's no telling.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Do what you want, but OC is overrated. Aokp straight stock is every bit as smooth and fast as an OC'd gb ROM.

Of course even on a gb ROM (unnamed being my favorite) the only time I saw any performance increase with overclocking was when I would play something like nova 3, even then gains were minimal.

Well, for some reason, on the ICS roms that I've tried, SNESoid runs a little laggy for some reason, and it was SUPER smooth on GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
That's probably a compatibility issue then. I agree SNESoid (and GBCoid/NESoid) play perfectly smoothly on GB but I can play any of them smoothly underclocked at 800mhz. Emulators aren't resource hogs, they certainly don't require OC.

Of course I'm sure I simply don't know what I'm talking about, I also never got improved battery life from undervolting or "calibrating" (not that I needed it, I got 5+ hours display time on many occasions).

Edit: just tried SNESoid on raver cm9 and it plays perfectly smooth for me.

This thread is for ICS ROMs, Valhalla would be GB. I'm loving aokp, on both my phones. Has great useful features I never realized I needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Juls, 95Z28...

I think he meant AOKP because he said he didn't like the unicorn logo.

Btw... I'm on AOKP and loving it. Although battery drains a lot but I think its effed up. Anyway, I will try the other ROMs as ICS becomes more stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Didn't see juls post before mine. But Valhalla final has pink unicorns in force, much worse than aokp in the unicorn department (or better depends on your opinion), but you could be right.

I agree the sgs4g aokp does drain the battery rather fast, but after flashing cm9 and returning to aokp it hasn't been as bad as before. I'm on whitehawkx build from the thread in general.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodintentions:
I know what I'm about to say won't be that popular. After trying all the ICS flavors out there, I flashed back to gingerbread for one reason. I need my battery to last!

ICS right now is a battery hog on the S4g. No matter what I tried, I simply couldn't get my battery to last through the day like it would with gingerbread. It's not just a matter of annoyance. I own a business. It's my livelihood to be able to keep in contact with clients throughout the day without having to worry about having an outlet to plug in my phone.

Anyone know when this problem will be tackled by the devs?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
And this wont be popular response. They are looking at battery life. But not everybody uses the phone the same way. Therefore you might only get 5 hours and the devs are getting 15 hours. I suggest if you want the latest and greatest pick up either a extended battery or a couple spares. If your phone is that important then you should have already bought a spare battery for that oh **** I had five hundred calls and my battery is almost dead.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
It's a pretty valid complaint... If:

You aren't running a billion programs

You have reflashed

You have reflashed and have not installed any apps

Started adding apps... one at a time, and didn't notice any different when you completed

Have logs.

Remember. Having no logs means all you can do is complain.

Woops did miss that ics part. Well then.... ics.... I like cm9, though I have noticed it runs a bit hotter than GB and uses a significant amount more battery life. That aside cm9 for me looks great, pretty much barebones and runs extra smooth. erikmm has a direct port from nexus rom, no frills, and it runs near perfect and will be my favorite when UMS is fixed(not hating, just being honest)!!

Anyway proves samsung could have made this available for this phone......

Sorry for the confusion :o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 3rdman:
I'm running CM9 V4 and I'm very happy with it. The only issue has been GPS...it does indeed lock but only after a very long time. What's strange is that it sees 9-12 satellites immediately but only after 5-10 minutes does it begin to see a level.

The GPS has always been **** but on Valhalla it was usable. Do any of the ICS roms have a usable and reliable GPS or is this a matter of simply waiting on a better kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodintentions:
first of all, I was not complaining. these are a very good. That said, do you deny that current ics builds eat battery more than gingerbread?

The reason I did not include logs was because I didn't see anything misbehaving. I am not the only one reporting less than stellar battery life.

I am about to flash to cm9 r3. I will include logs next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
You cant compare gingerbread roms to custom built from source. Especially when not all of the source has been released. That said.

I get almost the same battery on AOKP that I did on unnamed and FB VB. Its within a couple hours.

The deal is this to compare the two roms you need to run stock untouched KJ6 without bloat removed against a custom rom like AOKP. It has the carrier bloat removed but they add things like t-mo theme chooser, the ability to theme the battery and notification without a third party app. There is things built into the rom that you need apps for on stock. So install those apps and tell me what your battery life is.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Do you guys think anything else is better than AOKP? Cuz i like the customization options, but i don't want to lose then if i flash gummy
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
AOKP is the limo of customization right now. I cant say if it is the "best" rom but its what I use.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
But what about gummy, how does that compare to AOKP, because i need a little more battery life. Not complaining, it's decent, but gummy sounds like it has better battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tvotony:
I think I'm liking cm9 but I still haven't tried gummy but I need to hear about the battery life before I switch
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
Try it out and let us know!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
To be perfectly honest, it doesnt matter what thomas, bhundven, FB, Raver, lumin30, erikmm says the battery life is. If you use your phone different than how they do you will probably not get the same battery life. And that can go either way with the battery lasting longer or shorter.

I suggest just trying it out for a couple days. Atleast two days after initial install and you are done tinkering with it for the first day or so. A couple charge cycles and and YOUR usage will give you a very good idea if it is for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Froyo has the best battery life by far. And what eollio says is very true. If battery life is that important to you get another battery.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

Do you keep both batteries with you at all times? Because that is what Im talking about a spare battery. If you are getting crappy battery with a extended battery then something is wrong. Process of elimination would be wipe thoroughly flash back to stock kj6 and then reflash the ICS flavor of your choice. Then monitor apps by installing them one at a time.

I just wish people would understand a fresh install without any third party apps is what aokp, cm9, gummy and the others are built around. Third party apps may not play well with these roms for whatever reason. If they introduce bugs like shorter battery or force closes its not the rom but the user app. That app dev should be notified and not our devs here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Seriously people. Battery battery battery. You want better battery life? Try an old flip phone that does nothing but basic phone functions. These phones are mini computers, and if your on these forums I'm guessing you probably use them that way. Would you expect your laptop to run all day on battery!?!

With that said stop asking about everyone else's battery life and try the ROMs your interested in for yourself, we can't tell you what you'll get.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
THIS

Try the rom you're interested in. Your experience may not be the same as other's. If the battery drain seems exaggerated extremely, try doing what has been posted 1000 times: wipe all caches, wipe data, factory reset, and reflash. Chances are, if you follow instructions where it says to factory reset/wipe data, or format /system, you should be good to go.

I would try steps 1-3 of the Gremlin Remover thread, and if you're still getting exaggerated drain, try GR, and then get back to the rom of your choice.

@Juls317: 1) Mediaserver apparently handles more than music - it seems to be used when you access any kind of media on your phone (e.g., pictures); 2) it looks like your phone isn't resting at all, much less going into deep sleep. Do you have any ideas about what is preventing it from doing so?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I dont know dude. I found that and it kinda makes sense to me. Media being anything like pictures, movies, music, notification tones it could be the problem. I would use better battery stats and see whats keeping it running. Maybe try the free version of elixir it has some diagnostic tools too. It doesnt make sense why you have this issue and a couple others but not everybody.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Just get CPU spy from market. Great app to monitor what frequencies your phone is using(like deep sleep). Also use the back button to kill app feature. Keep killing until you see your launcher die twice. Now you have nothing running in the background. Then see how your battery does.
