[Q] What is Hands Down the Best ROM? And Please Do Not Say Depends On You!

[needspractice]

Please steer this to Sprint Galaxy Nexus

There are so many to choose from and I do not particular want to try them all. So please do not say there is no best ROM it all depends on what you are looking for in a ROM or something inappropriate like that. I do not even know why people always leave inappropriate remarks like that on FORUMS anyway.

I am just trying to install the latest and greatest ROM because I have been on

Eclipse-2.1-toroplus-build4.zip

Which I love but just seems a little old now and plus the Developer has moved on to Verizon only. I have been on this ROM for a long time and trust it; plus I have free WiFi Hot Spot plus LTE only option [Which is Amazing]!

So here are some ROMS which I am investigating?

[ROM][4.2.2 JDQ39 AOSP] Eos 4.0 ? Toroplus
[AOSPA - 4.2.2] PARANOIDANDROID 3.56 (HALO7) [Toroplus] 22-MAY-2013
[ROM] [AOSP] MMuzzyROM for Toroplus - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - JDQ39E
[ROM] BlackBean8 by TeamBaked 3-18
[ROM] JBSourcery 5.2-Toroplus ~4/21~ Nothing Compares
[ROM][MAY 4] rasbeanjelly [Android 4.2.2_r1.2 JDQ39E] [PRODUCT_DEVICE := toroplus]
[ROM][OFFICIAL] Cyanogenmod 9 RC1 (and nightly builds) for Sprint Galaxy Nexus
[WIP]MIUI.us Weekly Release-MIUIV4.1 for Toroplus-Sprint GNEX 2.10.26/Miui.us Toolbox

There are pretty much Sprint ROMS and I am wondering which one is the all around BEST and most used or popular.

What I am interested in a ROM is solid performance not too much BETA testing.
WiFI Hot Spot is a must
LTE only option is pretty much a must

Other than that I?m flexible; I know there are a lot more new options out there like the pie feature and what not; but I?m not sure which ROM has the BEST setup ATM.

So please give me back your insight on your ROM usage of all the ROM?s you have experienced that I can actually put on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. Please do not go into detail on ROM?s that I cannot even use on my phone.

OK, I won't say it depends on you. But there is no single "best." Each ROM has it's strengths. Go over to XDA and read what people are writing about each of the above. That'll give you a sense of how reliable and / or bug-free they are. The pick one that sounds good to you and load it. If you don't like something, try another. If you're not willing to put a little of your own time and effort into it, just stay stock and be done with it.

I've used a fair amount of roms, and I've found FOR ME, staying stock/rooted and applying only the needed "changes". For me, those were the t9 dialer (WHY is this not part of AOSP?), and the wifi tether fix.
I liked tinkering with the advanced features that are baked into most roms, but each one always seemed to have some minor glitch that just drove me nuts. Reading the posts about each version, and what is fixed in each one, and what isn't fixed in each, will get you a much better idea about which rom will work for YOUR needs, and what "issues" a particular rom may have that is either a deal breaker for you, or is something you can live with.

Can I ask what is wrong with the rom you've got installed now? If it's working, why bother changing it up? Maybe just a new launcher on top of it to "freshen" things a little bit? Sometimes just wiping and reinstalling the same rom, will make it run like new again too. So if you've been happy with this rom up until now, why bother messing with it?

You are exactly right! My ROM is actually perfect. It gives LTE only option which works and WiFi Hot Spot as well. Plus I reloaded the ROM like you said and it did freshen it up. It also fixed a headset audio problem that I was having; but that could of also been because I took my phone in the Sauna! LOL!

Anyway thank you so much for your help!

Still using the same ROM; even the updates are not as good as the one that I on.

I was wondering if anyone knew of the latest or best phone that has the greatest ROM rooting following at the moment greater than the Galaxy Nexus?

I have a Galaxy Nexus right now and its great but I am just bored with it. I would like to upgrade. The only problem is that I use [GNEX TOOLKIT V11.1.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, Recovery, Flash + MORE [SPRINT] which is the best tool around.

I was wondering if there are tools like this or better for other newer phones that I may upgrade to or should I just stay with my Nexus for while?
