[Q] SGS2 Roms - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking forward to the cm7 Rom. Just wondering how there are so many other Roms already released how come the Cyanogen Rom is proving to be so difficult?
I'm not mocking the hacksung guys, I know they are doing a lot of good work.

Because the CM build will be very different from the stock samsung ROMS.
A lot of the ROMS available right now are very similar to stock with only a few minor tweaks.
Thats the short and simple answer.

I was thinking that I was just curious.
Hopefully it'll be out soon enough

that depends on the user. seems to be between villain(which comes with villain tweaks), cognitive and litening and a cpl of others that I dont remember offhand..
Then theres the never ending supply of 'Roms' that are basically just themes, with the odd tweak that some other dev created.
I didnt mention cm7 purely because its not released yet.

I'm using Listening at the minute with the tw launcher.
Found adw a bit clunky and I like the Sammy calander widget.
Is the cognition Rom a wipe and flash or can I use odin?

What rom do you recommend

Im currently using cyanogen 7.0.1 but I've had issues with this, such as it randomly forgetting my ringtones and so nothing plays when people ring or text, alarms not going off, random reboots and loads of other problems,
So I'm looking to move to another rom, I'm looking for one with good battery life and doesnt have a habit of ****ing up on me, can anyone suggest a rom, wanna get it done tonight
batista 2.1 with siyah 1.8 kernel
works perfectly for me and good battery too
Stock. Best eva

only tried stock.still getting used to Android then I will try some other ROM
I like stock with root.
People are saying good things about the latest XXKI4.
KI3 with jkay installed is good for me right now.
Having said that I'm using different launcher,contact/dialer,messaging.
Battery and performance has been great.

I have been through flash after flash with custom rom at the end i go back to stock. Has been stable ever since. I like the KI3 and currentlt just flashed XXKI4. Just to see what the difference is between them.
I woul recommend back to stock. Just my 2c
Good luck

Have not used all the ROM's that are made, but right now I'm in love with Androidmeda. It removes all the crapware, and the phone feels so quick and responsive.
Converted 3 other friends who own SGS2 onto it, and they all love it.
Criskelorom v26. Freaking awesome

I love Cognition. But I have not tried anything else.
I have tried several roms but I got the best performance/consumption with "MikiMod CarbonOcean v 5.1[KI4]".
Give it a try and you tell us.

I hate Custom ROM's frankly. Some even remove features than adding. Don't forget it's a Smartphone.
Most of the touchwiz roms are good, most are similar.
CM7 latest nightly is very good.

VillianROM is excellent. Basically stock but much more customizable.
stock now for e dont know much about android very new to it
Leo & Check's CheckROM RevolutionHD V1.0 is what I recommended. fast, long and cold.
personally, i keep going back to criskelos roms
MIUI, it's so pretty on that super amoled plus.
Using lighting rom right now. Like it more than cyanogenmod though

Cognition or CheckROM. Both are very stable. Cognition ran flawlessly on my phone.

[Q] New owner, what is the best ROM available?

Which ROM out there has the best support and the least flaws? I know none will be perfect but I would like a ROM that is fast,stable, and has optimal battery life. I know i could use the V6 Supercharger to make a ROM faster but I would like to know what ROM you guys recommend? Thanks
For the 10 billionth time: It's really up to you to figure this out. Considering that there's only 4 custom ROMs available (for the 7510), I think you are capable of doing the research yourself.

Which version are you using ?
"In Paris V5"IS LIVE! (KME) Wifi ONLY!
I´m rly happy with this one.
What the best stock Rom so far regarding smoothness and speed ?
Sorry for hijacking ur thread

I'm going to second the in paris v5, I just rooted and flashed and couldn't be happier. There is one clich that I found and that is on some web pages in browser it will not let you go back with the back arrows, small problem but so far the only one I see.
Task650 makes the best ROM.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
check out the dev. forums, do a little research. If your asking you shouldn't be flashing roms really. All v6 supercharger does in most cases is mess things up
So avoid flashing supercharger? It doesn't take a computer genius to flash a ROM, I just don't have the time to flash every ROM and mess with it, thanks for the positive responses though.

I have yet to see any real proof that the supercharger script actually makes this thing better. I have flashed and run all of the different ROMs, and its really up to you as far as look and feel are concerned.
As far as support goes, I will say that Task and Phantom has been great in keeping us bug free, but I have not interacted with the other devs as much, and so I won't knock their Roms because I can't say what their level of support is.
Happy Flashing
Overcome is good too
I will say that I like both in Paris and Overcome. In Paris has a custom theme which I'm not fond of but you can install the touchwiz theme over it if you prefer. I like Overcome because it is the stock honeycomb theme.
It's really a rather personal choice so you do have to try more than one to decide.

UnNamed, ICScrewed, or SensatioN?

Just out of curiosity, which ROM do you guys prefer?
Its all personal opinion but I prefer unnamed. Battery life is great...which is what I want. Never had a reason to change so I can't speak for other roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Unnamed for the win
Try them all. It's not difficult to flash, Google will load most your apps back anyway on a fresh install, and you won't get a biased opinion.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
UnNamed on Monday, ICSrewD on Tuesday, SensatioN on Wednesday and so on and on. What he said, why not try them all. That's one if the main reason I rooted.

Used miui (both variances) and now unnamed. Battery life is about the same and is largely depended on kernel. Used siyah for miui and entropy dd for unnamed. The reason for leaving miui was skrewed headset volume. Still monitoring to see if it gets fixed.
They are all awesome other than that.

I've tried both Unnamed and ICScrewed... didn't like the latter. Unnamed caused me some problems though since it flashes the baseband to UCKK6. Caused my wifi to go haywire and resetting every couple minutes. Once I flashed the modem back to UCKH7 things seem to be a bit more stable... so far.
SensatioN because Crysis is the man.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I've literally been on every rom available for the SGH-i777. When I look for the rom that makes me happy, I look for the one with the most complete features. The only one to make me completely happy with battery life and features was UnNamed v2.0+. this rom is always kept in the most stable with almost a next day release if someone complains about anything. That's what I love about this rom. When people were having stability problems with the latest Entropy Kernel they changed it up and downgraded the kernel that very same day! Also, who was the very first rom to feature a working NFC?! GTG is a very friendly guy, ignores you if you dont get around the thread though, but its fine because if you question has been answered, why answer it again? Search next time!!
Anyways. Prior to UnNamed, My favorite was personally GalnetMIUI, official build with Task, the only thing that really kept me away was its instability, such as the screwed up headphone bug, which seems to be in CM7 pretty badly. (WHY HAS NO ONE FIXED THIS?) and the fact that there was no NFC, seems to be lacking features, and a lot of them. With MiLocker, I seem to be happy with UnNamed, I don't run into any problems except a delayed lock screen but meh, Who really locks there phone just to unlock it a second later? Lol.
So seriously, UnNamed 2 for the win !!

WiFi issues are resolved for his and my ROM sir
I ran Unnamed all day yesterday, but I switched back to MIUI. I just think MIUI is more polished than any stock ROM, and has more features that make the phone more enjoyable to use. The battery life has been great, and it's been very stable. Every now and then I get the urge to try something else, but I don't really see a reason to switch.
i put UnNamed on mine first and really liked it but wanted more ICS flavor, so i switched to ICScrewD. really like the jkay app that comes with it. both were very stable for me and didnt have any problems, the only reason i switched was for visuals
I have tried and love all the roms. I finally settled with miui. All the features and menus just flow. It's fast stable had great battery life and has tons of themes to choose from. I might be biased since I ran miui on my captivate and just got used to it. I do change the launcher and run go launcher.

Been on unnamed since day one, but recently switched to ICScrewed, and I'm liking them about the same so far, though I'm warming to ICScrewed.
I do like that ICScrewed has more bloat removed, and I LOVE jkaymod. If you want more customization, try out ICScrewed.

[Q] ICS AOSP and CM9

I'm currently on ICScrewed 2.1 right now but i'm considering upgrading my phone to
ICS roms. However, there are two major choices right now: CM9 and AOSP
what is the difference between these two setup?
What exactly is the advantage of CM9 over AOSP or the other way around?
Are there any bugs that exist in these Roms?
just wanna clarify things a little bit

Look in ported development forum and check the respective Roms thread. Then READ them both so YOU can make a better decision of whats right for YOU.
CM9 is an AOSP ROM

Just flash them both and find out for yourself.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Well right now IMO the aokp and current cm9 builds are very similar since cm9 doesn't have a lot of the tweaks
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
don't do it I wasted my whole Saturday morning on those ics things in ported section
I recommend the AOKP build by Fenny in Ported Development. I love the rom and have been getting great battery life. I mostly use my phone for email, text and social networking and have no complaints nor have found any bugs.
I've tried them both. CM9 is easier, AOKP has more stuff. Best to look at the threads if you want to know how it matters for what you care about.
They are both very similar and you will be fine with either.
why has this q been in the general all day? red your starting to slack a bit haha im just kidding. its saturday woo hoo!
Things aren't quite ready yet... give it another day or two, the floodgates will open soon.
I've been on fennys aokp all day and I'm loving it. Just video recorder doesn't work and right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get pics to save to external memory . But its super fast and the features are awesome especially the ocing and uving built in. I've been playing with face unlock it fun. Camera is better and faster than gb.
Haven't tried cm9
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I personal like AOKP. and I am a big CM fan. I've used CM9(altough I have tried CM9 since the 3/14/12 nightly) and AOKP sims alot nicer.
D/Ling the lastest CM9 now give it a try
Hands down no questions asked I gave been up and down both rims and aokp is better a lot more features and settings

Rom recommendation for Note?

I know its personal preference but can I get some recommendations on roms for the note? Just curious what many people are using and what seems to be the preferred roms....
Thank u!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I'm also curious about finding the best ROM. I currently have a stock Galaxy Nexus, and I love that, so I'm looking for the best ROM for the Note that is as close to Stock Android as possible.
I really want to pick one up, but until there's a Clean, Non-"Samsung-y" ICS ROM, I'm holding off.
Any leads would be Very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Your going to have to wait much longer before anything is released, we dont even have an official release of ICS yet, nor do we have any source code, and after CM gets around to releasing a first release, even longer (probably a month or two) before it is stable enough for daily use.
