Using paranoid Android right now. I like a lower dpi, but some apps don't play nice, so i need the per-app DPI. Loving it so far. Thought the phablet mode was useless, but things like 4.2 keyboard are so much better in tablet mode.

You should try the ROM from www.slimrom.net go to downloads and under device click hercules. I am currently running that ROM and its pretty good so far.

Jedi Mind Trick X3
I ran JMT X1 for about a month and loved it! Just went to JMT X3 along with the Jedi kernel and it's even better.
Just my opinion.

So Jedi kernel is applicable to JMTX3? JMTX3 is 4.0.3, Jedi kernels OP says something about 4.0.4 so I never flashed it.

slim ....onlychevy....great rom

I like All Star Rom (v4)... from what I can tell it's built off of PACman Rom (which is a combination of Paranoid Android, AOKP, and CM10: hence the PAC). I've used both Jedi Mind Trick and JK4 and 5.
The battery life, thus far, hasn't been as good as under the Jedi roms, but that could be because I've been playing with it so much. The sheer number of features and customizability make it worth it to me- I love the AOKP lock screen.

No it is not. The jedi kernel is for 4.0.4 but jmtx3 comes with a custom kernel made by faux so there's no need for another.

[POLL] Which rom are you on?

Exactly what the title says, I'll probably tally the results in a week and post them in the op. So try to do it like this...
ROM: examplerom
Then any other commentary after, makes it easier to tally up the results

LOL, not a single duplicate yet.
Taco, don't go by a popularity contest. You're going to have to get your feet wet.
Maybe you should specify what you're looking for in a ROM first. Stability, speed, battery life, theming, closer to stock so you can mod it the way you want etc...
Oh I'm not looking for a rom... Just curious as to which one is the most popular.

Jedi Mind Trick v5.1
/thread
Nothing is the best. Every rom has their own thing so nothing is the best. But try to stick with some larger community for more support.
if you don't need wifi calling you can go with guru cm9.
fast stable and good daily driver. if you need wifi calling then i would use darkside evolution rom.
i was on cm9 and i am testing this jedi version 5 rom which seems to be pretty smooth.
i just hate touch wiz!!! all also seem to be fare when it comes to battery life if you care.
Jedi Mind Trick 5.1 with faux 008 kernel is by far the best!

As previously stated, it's entirely subjective. I currently use AOKP Milestone 6 07/15, with TDJ's latest kernel for it. It's been extremely stable and battery life has been great!
Thanks for the help I think I'm gonna go with the jedi mind trick rom

You're going to get a lot of different responses.
My favorite? FreeGS3, but I won't stop trying others, I just prefer it overall.
There's none. All ROMS are great. It all depends on personal preferences.

Honestly all ROMs available are pretty solid especially if they are touchwiz. Aosp(ish) roms are also pretty solid as well. Not mention its really easy to root and flash ROMs so try em all

My suggestion would be root it and then get flash happy for a couple of days, until you come across the one that best suits your needs. There are many options and everyone has there own preference. I prefer PACman myself.

This is a great answer because in the big picture of learning what to do so you can help yourself in case of any problems in the future this is the right answer.

Rooting is for those of us who like to mess with our phones. Too root your phone and then throw stock back on it in some cases makes no sense. If you are happy with your phone then dont touch it.
Everyone's rooting experience is different so asking others will only give you some false info and some true info. Again only way to find out is to do it for yourself. Go into development and read up on the roms and see which one makes you go damn this looks nice and flash it
You cant recommend jedi jelly to a noob...it still has a few issues to be worked out. But i do suggest rooting and flashing roms. And asking whats the best/most stable rom you're going to get alot of diffrrent answers. Just try them for yourself.

Jedi knight 6 is super fast and stable I seem to always go back it it after trying others.
I have tried liquid smooth, cm10, UNICEF and some others I Dont remember. I'm going to try Jedi jelly when the next version is released.
