Some of my impressions on the various ICS roms I have tested
AOPK vanilla ICS : best I would say is Stunner 1.4.19 - it has lierally no bugs ; if any I have yet to come across. It is seamlessly smooth and slick with Nova launcher ( I suggest drop the default Apex launcher ). You can replace S Memo apps with its built in Supernote for basic note writing or paid app Jotter ( US$4.99) with additional features of adding in images ( but cannot cut n paste from the images ) . Highly recommended if you do not need the S memo much
Next is M3dDog Liquid smooth - it is also as good as Stunner , only aspect I do not like is the inability to remove the built in Navigation soft buttons. It is not necessary as the Note itself already has it and is an eyesore to me. Also screen display estate is reduced. Some minor freezes at times. A very lean rom , only 100 MB size download vs 200 MB of Stunner
ICS with Samsung apps ( spen functions ): Midnote used to be the leader with v3.3. However its latest update Team 1.0 is disappointing as now comes with occasional FC on screen capture and S memo. You need to download 2 about 600 MB rom ( total 1.2 GB) files to install this rom
Leading this pack, I would say is Alba v2 - I do not see such freezes as Midnote Team v1.0. It is I would say is much better and slicker than Midnote Team v1.0. Another good alternative is Criskelo V2 ( LP6) , the only bug I see is the occasional FC on SMemo apps. I would say this rom is more stable than Midnote Team 1
Midnote developer has recently been attacking both Alba and Criskelo for stealing his scripts in their rom. Well if these guys did really steal, I would say they are doing a better job than Midnote. Both of these roms just need a single 500+ Mb download
Anyway just my impressions. Your opinion might be different from mine
Added on April 22, 2012, 10:21 amI would say BOAT browser is my number one choice , follow by ICS Browser and Dolphin HD in ICS roms
Chrome is pretty good too , only point I do not like its fonts even I set at largest is still too small. Font size settings is best in ICS+ browser
For Gingerbread rom, my choice is XScope follow by Boat and Dolphin HD
I am dropping off XScope from my ICS rom mainly for its buggy Bookmarks editing ; other than that t is still the fastest browser in both GB and ICS platforms
Worst browsers which I will never want to use - Opera and Firefox. Anyway that is my opinion though I do know some users swear they are good but not for me
tq uncle for ur review..thinking to use nova launcher instant of apex..
