Yes mate they are good.
[DEV][ROM] CyanogenMod 10.1 [10.03.2013] , based on 4.2.2 , made by OldDroid
[ROM][JB][ANDROID 4.2.2]Androidarmv6 CM-10.1 24-02-2013 , same here , made by Erickas
[DEV] AOSP IceCreamSandwich 4.0.4 | MoltenMotherBoard (08.MAR.2013 - RC4) , this is Android Open Source Project (AOSP) Ice Cream Sandwich (Android version 4.0.4) , made by MoltenMotherBoard Team , wich consists of Mackief , Paco and ItachiSama
[DEV] AOSP ICS 4.0.4 by MaclawStudio , same as above , made by Maclaw and Marcin
They are all great roms , you should try them all before deciding. Like it was said above , official firmware upgrade for anything above 2.3.6 from Samsung doesn`t exist , you have to resort to roms if you want that.
Sorry if i missed some developer , it wasn`t intentional.

Well, Im using aokp 4.2.2 right now and it is really great. Smooth and fast. Everything works, only small issues

thx

Yes you can try both AOSP ICS roms , really they are very good without any need for overclocking or tweaking , in my opinion. They keep about 170Mb RAM free.

I would suggest exactly the same with Franco's kernel.
Aaaaand which one is AOKP rom ? [ROM] Android Open Kang Project - maguro - build 23?
what about [ROM][16-02-12][AOSP][4.0.3] Codename Android 1.4.0 | Fully Open Source |
?
What is the difference between AOKP and non AOKP roms ?
Sorry for noobish and stupid questions
Thanks
+1 for aokp. I prefer lean kernel but franco is good as well.
AOKP stands for Android Open Kang Project developed by Team Kang. So I think you should know which one it is. Non AOKP are ROMs not developed by Team Kang. lol...
Ok i got it
Downloading it atm
And those are not Cm right? (Another stupid q )

Has there been an official release for 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 yet for the GSM version I am still on 4.0.2 have seen nothing from googs
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I don't think so. A bunch of the roms are on 4.0.3 and I heard a that 4.0.4 was supposed to come out mid march... ?
Some people are on 4.0.4 with current roms and are doing well with it and others like me, have just stuck around with 4.0.3 with the 4.0.4 radios.
Roman, from aokp, says he won't have 4.0.4 until Google drops the source code.

[Q] AOKP vs. CM vs. MIUI

Can anybody please compare the three (and possibly other) popular custom ROMs? Thanks!
I think every roms are great and smooth, for example Bionic 2, Kezra VP 1.1, Black Note Hybrid 2nd gen, Bagux project, Kedai, FAW rom, and CM9, AOKP, MIUI V4...

Hmm. If youre referring those 3 as roms, which you probably see in development section, id say nothing much. Miui and aokp are both ported from CM9 which means those 3 are on ICS. The difference though will most likely be seen on how it was modded, themes, tweaked etc.
As alidsd mentioned regarding AOKP, cm9+more customization=AOKP.
Well this is as far as I know. Correct me if im wrong.

You can find in there what is rom and kernel. In choosing kernels, it depends on you, as they say, its a trial and error process. As for me, im using DXLM3, its works perfectly for me. Runs smooth, I havent experienced any lag. But then again, it will depend on you. Try them out and experienced for your self. As for rom, I heared the newly release cm9 alpha 4 is bit buggy and unstable, but im pretty sure it will be fixed soon. But if you really want to experience cm9 go for cm9 aplha 3. Aokp and miui as i mentioned are ported from cm9 but with different mods, and more stable atm.

so you are using DXLM3 Kernel what is its benefits based from your exp.?

XXLM8 Kernel (good for games)
Cow Kernel (good battery life span)
DXLM3 Kernel (what benefits?) ^_^

MIUI & aokp was ported from CM9 alfa 3 or 4?
based from your trial and error which worked better and no bugs
MIUI, AOKP or Alfa3? i still cant do trial and error coz im still reading how to do it and some of the steps i really dont understand doing.. ^_^

but be careful, you cannot use GB kernels on ICS ROMs and you cannot use ICS kernels on GB ROMs because GB and ICS has different ramdisk, drivers, etc...
as far as i know, kernels that available for GT-I8150 are:
- stock GB kernels (XXLM8, DXLM3, etc)
- CWG GB kernels (OC and non-OC version)
- arco's ICS kernel
usually if you download ROMs here, they also have the kernel included, so you don't have to flash the kernel separately... except if you want to some experiment, you could flash different kernel after flashing the ROM... for example, after you're finished flashing XXLM8 stock GB ROM, you want to experiment with CWG kernel, so you should flash the CWG kernel only after finished flashing the XXLM8 ROM...

Yes you need both kernel and rom. But dont worry about it, if you flash rom, its likely that the developer already updated the kernel of the rom you are going to flash. But of course if you dont feel like it, there is called flashing of kernel on your desired rom. But the problem is, not all kernels are compatible to different roms. So take time to read updates. As for my kernel dxlm3, for me, its fast, smooth, no lags, also good for games though im not avid gamer. Its a stock kernel so its stable and i havent encountered any issues at all.
I havent tried cm9 yet coz I needed the camera. But I did try miui released by alidsd, but the camera as well is not yet fully working so I have to switch back to my stock rom. And the latest released aokp by alidsd is the one Im going to test later on, havent tried it yet coz im busy.
Of course there will be bugs on newly released roms like cm9, miui and aokp since they are still on the process of development. :beer:

[Q] Should I update to JB ?

Hi,
I am on Dk_Zero ICS (a discontinued ROM now, btw) and I would like to now if I should change to another ICS ROM, upgrade to a JB ROM, or stay on this ROM.
What do you think about that ?
Thanks in advance.
Since neither work 100%, from that position I'd say upgrade.
And what would you actually recommends in all ROM, GB and other versions included ?
Hi ,
I'm using the AOKP JB V2.0 and its nice and stable .

I like this one as well. Otherwise I'd use CronMod by croniccorey. Both seem to be quite stable

CM9 Upgrade

I'm currently on a cm9 beta3 ROM on Samsung Galaxy W GT-I8150. As I had viewed the thread on the forum, I may only need to wipe data n' cache if I wanna do a major upgrade or change Into a new ROM. And upgrading between cm9 versions is not necessary to wipe them out. my problem is, what's a major upgrade mean? Does an upgrade between beta3 to alpha1 a major upgrade? Thx
you are currently running a very stable version (beta3) of the CM9 ROM..
if u want a major upgrade u should install the CM9 beta 4 version.
if you're aiming a alfa version of CM9.. well this is a downgrade to a "unstable" verion..
so u can change ROM to the CM10 alfa2 or 3 version.. this is a upgrade.. i made this (now i'm using CM10 alfa2) and i solved my old problem.
hope this help you

Thx for the info. But as long as I know, CM10 is only for tablet? Or could be installed on my wonder?
CM 10 works on phones and tablets. Check their page itself to see if your device is supported. As a thumb rule, if it officially got 9, then it will get 10

I'm using Simply Gio 1.3, it's a really old rom from the early development.
I'll give that CM 10 a try, will it work with the 5660M?
Any issue/problem with it?
yup it works... just go to OldDroid's topic and download RC1 release which is not in the first page but in the latest pages of the topic.
it is build on android 4.2.1.
it has some minor issues but its perfectly stable and go0d for average daily usage imho.
