Whats the best rom in your opinion and why? CM9/CM10/MIUI ?

I personally like AOKP. TDM did an awesome job with it.

Me too Skater. AOKP is nice.

Which one is AOKP again?

Right now the AOKP that we have available is ICS based. It's like CM9 but much more customizable.

AOKP is by far the best ROM I've installed. You get the flashiness of ICS with the extra control of the ROM with ROM Control.

I have used aokp, modded stock, aosp, miui, and cm6,7,9,10 and to be honest I have always preferred cyanogenmod. For me it has the best usability factor. But that is what makes android so much better than any other platform; choice, and a lot of it.

I believe that's an experimental build from the mr1-staging branch. I don't think they even have nightlies of 4.2 yet.

Keep in mind, i'm new at this.... haha..
What does it mean when you say you're compiling AOKP 4.1? Compiling the ROM???

Correct. The rom is made of mass amount of code (source code), which is compiled by computer using a toolchain to make the final Rom. Hope this helped you understand a bit better.

Looks like AOKP boots. The new boot anim is nice.
rild is segfaulting, so I'll need to add in the radio fixes. And 3g fixes too.
WiFi seems to turn on but it's not detecting any networks.
Bluetooth is still not happy.
So it looks like a nice first cut but there's work to be done.

Now im confused again. lol. Were we getting an Alpha tonight?

Yeah I'll push out a build of both CM10 and AOKP41 within an hour.
I should have rild, 3g, and wifi fixed in AOKP41.
Bluetooth may not work in either, we'll see.
Oh, and for some reason the AOKP41 installer is not giving proper permissions to the "su" binary. Which is really strange because the edify script looks correct. The fix is pretty simple with adb though.
Amusingly, the AOKP ROM is smaller than the CM ROM. Go figure... lol.

Not to mention depending on the size of the source tree it can take 6 hours or more with troubleshooting along the way
Kinda the reason why you don't see these guys just pumping out roms. Every time they make core changes they have to rebuild. This plays a huge factor in why people, especially devs, hate eta questions.
Anyone who has ever compiled anything from source knows the time and frustration behind the progress

I have absolutely no doubt of that, when i was using Python and C++ (I know it's probably completely different) but i know all of the headaches of getting things to run without errors and what not. So, I guess i can relate a little bit.

Okay I have a CM10 build here:
quattrimus-sniper-cm10-test3.zip
md5=4694a1f740e09d5569ab7f05e2cf0cf3
Issues:
* Bluetooth may not turn on. Test it and let me know.
* Cameras are completely non-functional. I'm working on it.
I couldn't get the AOKP radio to work yet so I'm holding off on that. Should have it up tomorrow.

Well that's strange .. I installed CM10 just to make sure it worked, then reinstalled AOKP41. The radio seems to be working now. So I'm tossing it out there also, just for fun:
quattrimus-sniper-aokp41-test3.zip
md5=7bd5b024eed2bd5ef88e6feb9e17c0ad
Issues:
* Radio may or may not work.
* Bluetooth may not turn on.
* Cameras are completely non-functional.
* su does not have proper permissions.
* I think there's a few missing packages, like busybox.
