Hi. first of all I just want to say that I'm a big admirer of XDA forums I've been following the forums for quite some time on various phones but I'm not very active in posts / replies due to my inexperience.
I'm sick of AT&T taking forever to give us ICS and I'm not willing to wait just to get a whole bunch of bloatware and the same old touchwiz. I've come across two good roms: Onlyone and Objection. I'm kind of leaning towards Objection because It's giving me two UI options: Android 4 and the new Touchwiz, but from the replies I got the impression that Onlyone is more stable. Are there any ROMS that use the official ICS code released by Samsung or not yet?
Here are my main concerns: battery life, ROM stability and speed, and of course the good additions like updated touchwiz, S-voice, etc.
Try them all and see which you like best. Nobody can tell you which is best, because that is purely opinion based. There aren't that many, so just learn how to use titanium backup so switching between roms doesn't take too long.

I am a power-user who hates lag. The collective Mesosphere is for you... then install NovA Launcher and zoom zoom... your on your way. Don't bother with other ****ty roms, i've tried them.
Thanks for the replies. I'll definately utilize titanium backup and I'll look into The collective Mesosphere with nova and zoom zoom =)
Mesosphere is rocking it! GB has to get gone, you'll be glad it did. I haven't tried other rooms yet, admittedly. So far I don't have a need to.

Are you running tablet or phone mode?
If you prefer the unmodified, pure Android experience that you would get on a Nexus device, you can come close with a CyanogenMod based ROM. These are my personal favorites as they are practically bloat-free and don't have any carrier/manufacturer customizations. The downside on the Note is that there is no S-Note/S-Memo. Hopefully the CM devs will get these apps to work eventually, but the S-Pen does work.
If you like the TouchWiz interface then try one of the TW/ICS leak based ROMs such as OnlyOne. That was the first ICS ROM I tried and I liked it, but overall I prefer CM9.
you can try those ROMs from this guy - flappjaxxx. They are the unofficial CM9 ROM and UCLE2 stock-base ROM. They are really solid, stable, daily drivers and supported well by the awesome developer. These roms get very good comments from XDA-users.
I've tried every single rom.
for CM9- I'd use Mesosphere the rest were pretty unstable.
For Ucle2 + S-pen functionality i'd use FJ's Build. Onlyone was laggy for me.

This is like asking what beer should I drink or who is the best Golden Girl. Everyone is going to have different answers and you really need to try some and find your favorite.
That being said I am a big fan of flappjaxxx's UCLE2 rom.
My recommendation is to go with the Unofficial build of CM9 by h0tw1r3.
Nothing beats the cleanliness of AOSP, and the added features that Cyanogen throws in are well worth it.
I have been running it since he released the first build and it is extremely stable. And thanks to CalcProgrammer1, it was just updated and we may even see nightly builds.
Thanks Calc!

I recommend the AOKP build by Fenny in Ported Development. I love the rom and have been getting great battery life. I mostly use my phone for email, text and social networking and have no complaints nor have found any bugs.
I've tried them both. CM9 is easier, AOKP has more stuff. Best to look at the threads if you want to know how it matters for what you care about.
They are both very similar and you will be fine with either.
why has this q been in the general all day? red your starting to slack a bit haha im just kidding. its saturday woo hoo!
Things aren't quite ready yet... give it another day or two, the floodgates will open soon.
I've been on fennys aokp all day and I'm loving it. Just video recorder doesn't work and right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get pics to save to external memory . But its super fast and the features are awesome especially the ocing and uving built in. I've been playing with face unlock it fun. Camera is better and faster than gb.

I was debating on which rom to install, i'm currently on rc4a. And then i was wondering what are your favorite roms? Here are the choices
Latest Saurom Rom ( version 7 i think)
Saurom rc4a ( i know some people like this stable version)
Stock rom
The unofficial
The NEW ICS stock
DAGr8 ICS stock rom
Waiting for ics aosp
I hope this will also help some others decide what rom to try first
Im also on rc4a. Tried unofficial and collective but im a goLauncher fan so collective didnt work out with me. Rc4a definitely fullfills my needs and is quite feature-rich. Waiting on a tweaked bug-free ICS rom

For some reason Saurom never really played nice with my phone. Love the ROM, though.
I ended up going with The Unofficial. Works great on my phone with GO Launcher.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The unoffical is my favorite gb rom so far. It works great right out of the box and is very smooth.
Souroum looks nice and has some nice built in customization features but its a bit more work to get setup. I just don't like having to do extra work to setup apns.
Right now I'm running ICS and other than the persistent keyboard notification in the title bar when I type and the higher battery drain, I love it. The s pen is so much more responsive now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Same here with The Unofficial and Go Launcher. If it wasn't so smooth, I'd have given in to messin with the ICS leak. Think I'll give it awhile and see what the fine devs here do with that before I switch.

Just checked my Odin Counter and i'm sitting at 22, and that's not counting all the CWM flashes I have done. I really don't mind alpha / beta testing as long as it helps get a good product in the end.

Nice to hear your guys opinion. I went ahead and made the jump to DAGr8s alpha 2 ics. And im really diggin it. Working great! (with a little lag here and there)
The latest Saurom here. I ran the Unofficial for about 30 minutes and I find it's UI modifications to be pretty ugly, which is pretty much a deal breaker for me.
Saurom ICS right now but really waiting for CM9
Just curious why you didnt include Solaris Prime?
I am looking for the current most stable rom for the SGH-i777 with minimal amount of known issues. Any suggestions? I'm currently on CM7.1 but it keeps on freezing on me so that gets to be a deal breaker.

Thanks Ill take a look at unnamed. Does it by any chance support NFC? I know the i777 comes with and NFC chip but CM7 doesn't play nice with it.
I've had good luck for a while using CM7.2 RC1 but more recently have been very happy using the nightlies for CM9.
+1 on UnNamed 2.2.1. I used that one for several months with no issues at all. Though I've heard some people had wifi issues.
I'm now on Mystic's Pride, an ICS rom in the Ported Development forum. I've been on it for a week now with no problems at all.
Your best bet is to try roms for yourself and see which ones work for you. That's what I do.
For example, I tried shostock2 for a few days, it ran smooth, battery was great, but I could not get used to the Apex launcher. So I moved on to another rom.
Thanks for all your replies. I decided to flash UnNamed and im just in love with it. I might eventually try an ICS rom but for now im perfectly happy with Unnamed
If you're interested in ICS, give shostock a try. I've been running it since rc5 and it's very smooth and stable.
If you're interested in trying other gingerbread ROMs, I got the best battery life and stability on shostock 1.9.4. If there were any apps that I missed from UnNamed, I just pulled them from the .zip using root explorer. The only reason I left it was to try out ICS. Glad you're enjoying the phone so far.
How about try them all and see which one is stable for you?

I'm on stock unrooted and I just want a rooted, hassle-free experience. So which rom right now has the least known complications? Just a quick look at the development section makes me think it might be the Unofficial Rom.
Any recommendations?
I'm pretty happy with the alpha 2 from DAGr8. His third version gave me too many problems. The other roms' forums seem full of problems with the store or messages...I guess just try a few. If you nandroid where you are now switch back shouldn't be too hard

Another for "The Unofficial". Great ROM, very stable and smooth.
Dag_8 Alpha II is the best ICS out so far. It's currently my daily driver.
Alpha III caused SMS issues and other FCs.
If playing4sheezy comes out with Beta 2 for NOTEWorthy then I'll be switching to it, because it is the smoothest, cleanest, ICS out yet...

I have been trying out several different ICS ROMs on my phone for the last few months. Never had a GB custom ROM. I was on stock UCKK6 which came with my phone and then went on to the ICS roms.
I have tried almost all of the SGH-i777 custom ROMS - and MIUI as well.
Out of curiosity I decided to go back to Gingerbread so flashed UnOriginal ROM.
First thing I noticed - Damn this is smooth. Everything - browser, launcher, touch response - everything is smooth like a baby's butt.
So whats going on with ICS? why dont we have the same smooth experience on any of the ICS roms. Is it because the official source code has not been released yet? or is it resource heavy compared to GB?
Do not want to start a ROM comparison but just curious. Having moved back to GB I am not sure I am missing anything critical from ICS. Others might not share this opinion but this is what it is for me and the things I use my phone for.
I am still bitten by the flash bug - so will continue to try out the ICS ROMs.
What do all of you think about moving back to GB and the pros/cons? What ICS feature will you miss the most? Please share your thoughts!
<puts flame suit on>
I'm about ready to go that route myself... Becoming frustrated when I find a "perfect" ROM, only to have the wlan_rx wakelock come back and drain my battery into nothingness. My favorite GB is Shishir's - Fairly stock, but with some nice tweakability, and have never run into the same battery probs.

It is a personal choice.
In here, in this world, whole universe, no one forces you to do what you don't want to.
Once in a while, I still heard some people saying "Windows 3.1 is so much better than Windows 7".
It is purely your choice so no need to put the flame on.
It's good that seeing you in fact trying out a few different ROMs and finally made the decision on your own.
That's a good sign for all of us.
I've had the same experience as well. I'm not so sure if it's issues with the roms but more with the Kernels. There is a lot involved to tune the kernels just right. I'm no developer but I believe ICS may just be a little more complex this GB.... or at lease ICS is not so forgiving.... I'm not developer so who knows.
On a side note, I just tried the PARANOIDANDROID v1.1 port so far this has been on the same level as smoothness as any GB rom I've ran. Link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660974
I even found a port for my SGS Captivate and wow.... its 10x better then the GB rom. So this rom has something going on that I'm going to keep testing out. You may want to give it a try as well.

MikeyMikes Serendipity 9 is the smoothest thing I've run. Especially with the stock Sammy launcher available during Aroma install.

+1. The new Touchwiz UX is really smooth. Trebuchet does not feel as smooth on the same ROM

Binnacle is hands down the best gb rom for this phone. It is wicked fast and epic battery life. Its more than enough for a dd

I did try Binnacle Beta 7 yesterday. I did not realize it had android 2.3.6. I somehow like the bounce effect in 2.3.4 that the UnOriginal ROM offers. Hate the glow effect in 2.3.6. Also, personally I felt UnOriginal was smoother than Binnacle (no offense) - just my opinion.
I did not leave it on long enough to comment about battery life. I flashed a different ROM. Seems like I am turning into a Flashaholic (need to restrain)
My progression:
Unnamed, then MIUI then CM7 then CM9. Doubt I'll ever leave CM9.
