Both are really good, synergy is going through a nightly process that's pretty fun to follow. They both have pretty good kernels and neither appears to have battery drain. If you're using an extended like I am you can expect about 36 hours with normal use, similar to froyo. If you're using the standard battery have a charger nearby The two roms aren't all that different, VIRUS and the BAMF team are both extremely talented. Flash them both, and take them for a test run. You'll likely ge 50 different opinions anyway
I suggest you download both and try them yourself.

Hey everyone if you don't have an opinion or knowledge of these roms, DON'T REPLY TELLING ME TO TRY THEM BOTH! Why have a forum to interact with other users if I wanted to test EVERY Rom blindly.

The community reaches out with suggestions, but you are the user and naturally, have different preferences. Being a **** about people telling you to try each yourself is not going to get you personal opinions about the roms.
My advice for you? Flash the ****ing roms yourself and quit asking stupid questions.
/troll
edit: from my personal experience, I've been able to supercharge my battery by wrapping my phone in aluminum foil and putting it in the microwave for 2 minutes. I get about 10 more hours of battery life than a standard charge, but YMMV.

Hi douchebag, i'm giving the OP good advice and telling him he should try each rom to see which one HE likes best. No 2 phones are the same, meaning what works great for one person, might not work great for him. Therefore he should try them both for a couple days to see which one works best for him, and gives him the features he wants, not what other people tell him he should have. No where does he ask which one is better, but he wants better battery life, which won't be so much the function of the rom, but the kernel he chooses, uses 3g/4g, how much he uses the phone, how many calls are made, etc. So with him using the phone differently form everyone else (as we all do), telling him what works best for me, may not work best for him (is this finally getting through to you?)
Your analogy was pointless, are you going to get a car just cause someone says to get it, or are you going to test drive it to see if you really like it?

The best battery and performance I've found was Das BAMF Stripped, but I agree that you should flash each for a few days (only hours if you find one to run horrible) because different people do have different results.

Do yourself a favor and go lay on the railroad tracks.
....ANYway,
nmtuna, i would go with bamf 3.0 all day right now. i love their toolkit and for some reason I've been having trouble using nerozehl's dream kernel with Synergy (the dream kernels give me the best battery life). in terms of speed too i feel like bamf wins again. everything runs smoother than synergy's, though synergy may have the slight upper hand in terms of looks (clear drop down, 5 column app drawer, and among other relatively trivial things), but that can be easily fixed.

*IF* battery life is most important, I'd stick to a Froyo ROM. BAMF 1.8.6 is based off the MR2.5 leak. Fast as heck and very long battery life.
As far as the choice between the two listed above, and since you take offense to people suggesting you try both, I will just say <flips coin> Das BAMF Seose 3.0.

Are we all waiting on the GB fix? It is nice to have a phone and not have it flashed every other day but it makes me sad that we are at a standstill. Thank you devs for everything that you have done thus far and I look forward to trying out new things when everyone comes back! I just really wanted to say that I miss you all!
... There was an update on a GB rom today... I mean a new Kernel was just released and the radio was just posted yesturday... I am not sure what you are talking about I feel the devs are quite alive here still tickin'. I feel like this post is going to get flamed.
I know what he means, it just feels dead in here. There probably is more behind the scenes, but for us common folk it seems dead.
Yea. I feel ya man. It feels dead. I felt the same way but the radio and some rom update seems Alive bbut I only want the new and still waiting for bamf.. but finally saw pr3 so gonna jump on that boat.
sent from my........(rebooting)..... thunderbolt.
I'm seeing lots of new ROMs and some with accompanying radios. Yesterday I installed the Chingy MR2 radio and Gingeritis IX, and all works great, no reboots.
Right now I'm downloading Th3ory of Ginger and and Th3ory3.0CandyV3, and those came with an MR2 radio, so it looks like things are all clear now? I gotta get my flash fix !
Feel free to start learning how to write and hack code, otherwise wait patiently and quit posting threads asking even if it's in a way that tries to be polite .
Unless you've had experience in writing code, it's hard to understand why things take so long so just imagine you're given a huge pile of parts and only half the directions to put it together (given the half from android and missing the half from htc, which htc was also nice enough to put in a format you cant easily read without translating). Your family keeps asking you "are you done yet??? You say no, it'll be done when it's done. So yeah. Working on a sense based android phone is sort of like that in the best way I can give a metaphor in non technical terms.

It's okay to wonder, sure. However, dont you think someone would post something if there was something new in the developers forum? Developers might hate being asked when something will be out, but the one thing developers like to tell the world about is something new and shiny they just made.
Just from my experience, the only people that can really pester a developer about when something should be done are paying clients. Even those get annoying, because developers sort of have a pet peeve against giving a set deadline since things generally don't go according to plan, especially when you cant estimate the project scope for something like android.
Might not agree with me and I'm relatively new to developing on android and haven't coded/hacked anything impressive enough to show yet, but I have linux development experience on other platforms and can just say how developers feel from my own experience of working with clients and free advice/work I've given elsewhere.

Wondering is fine but you might not have posted this if you read the dev forums. Plenty is going on so just your perception is at a stand still.

My nephew has invested in a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I've finally convinced him to root it and flash a custom rom... I have a HTC G2 and there's like 6-8 roms to choose from... And everyone of them has a different thing going for them... Like one of them is Sense 2.1, one is clean MIUI and some are mods with MIUI, some CM7-mods and a couple of Sense 3.5's and one hybrid Sense 2.1+3.0...
What I'm trying to say is, its a jungle out there... And I'd really like to help my nephew get a good and updated phone..
So what are the different 'deal-breakers' on your different ROMs? Which is the best ROM in your opinion?
(wrong catagory.. should be in Q&A.. sry..)
My opinion is that we know nothing about your nephew, therefore can't possibly make recommendations for him.

That wasn't quite what I was asking for...
But, if you insist: He's 22 years old, lives with his girlfriend on 21 years in a 2-room apartment.. He works out 2-3 times a week with his younger brother... He like WOW... He was once a big Ogamer... He goes to college.. Dunno what he studies, but something with computers... He hacked his ps3 earlier this years... He likes dubstep and mojitos... Anything else you need to know, to tell me your opinion about what ROM you think is best???
I recommend the stock ROM.
Cognition is a really fast stock-based ROM. For me, it feels very fast and works really well.

Ok, so you say everyone has a different opinion, that's why it's hard to choose. My question is, how will this thread change any of that?
The thing with this "what's the best... " always end up in people recommending their current ROM.
There is truly only one way to find out what's best for you (or your nephew for that matter).
The next thing you want to know is probably what the best modem is to use with the SGS2.
XDA is (or at least was) about exploring and share experiences.
Past few years it's more becoming a demand and receive kind of thing.
Threads like this ones are always getting locked in the end.

Dude - Ignore the wankers.
Wankers - wouldn't it be easier to just ignore the post if you have nothing constructive to offer the guy? Rather than... wanking on him?
Ezzzkiel - The nice thing in SGS2-land is that there are a lot of great, stable ROMs with decent battery life. It benefited from a lot of the startup pains that we all suffered through on the original SGS. So although it may seem like a jungle, the reality is that it is an ice cream (sic) shop with lots of great flavors.
If your nephew is technically competent and enjoys mucking around with lots of options, I would recommend one of the following:
CheckROM is a modified Samsung ROM and has a nice KitchenPro app that allows you to easily change kernels, modems, themes, apps, boot animations, etc. It also has OTA updates. I used it for quite a while and it has been stable, fast and virtually bug free.
CM7 continues to be a favorite among many folks. It is in good, but not perfect shape... but it is quite serviceable as an everyday ROM. You can modify pretty much everything you can imagine. Nightlies are available for flash freaks.
MIUI (and my favorite version - Galnet MIUI) is looking really great lately. I personally find the way it deals with notifications and replies very intuitive... even more so that CM7. Again, it has OTA updates which are handy. But it is very personal. Some people hate MIUI and some people love it.
If your nephew prefers to start with a basic flash and go ROM then Cognition, Criskelo, Batista, and about a half dozen others are excellent ROMs where everything works.
On all these ROMs the first thing I install is Go Launcher, so I have a common set of home screens that make it easy to navigate. Then I can explore the unique elements under the skin. Again, the choice of launcher is very personal. Many folks swear by Launcher Pro, ADW and others.
How can you forget to mention Villain ROM 3.0?
It's the best. Close to stock with it's own VillainTweak program.
See where this is going?
Sent from my #sgs2
SGSII-land is like a different country... My oh my... I've heard XDA could be a harsh forum to wander, but I've only met kind and friendly users on the XDA-boards I usually look at..

I'll find my own way through this damp and moist swamp of ROMs...

I'm with you, i have no time limit. There are times where I went months on a rom, but other times that I was flashing numerous roms just to see how they differed. I have so many android devices in my house that there's always something to play with. We are up to 3 nook colors, so I'm able to flash a phire to one, kanged to one, and good ol CM to one just to play with them side by side. Flashing roms is just fun to some and approached with a "why the hell not?" attitude rather then "ok i think im sure i want this one, i've ready all 8,532 comments on the thread...i think im ready", which is of course how i started this addiction.

also I noticed that the developers here are working much harder..1 its a new device...there's not much to go on when there limited to options.....once they establish the tools they need for more efficient roms and kernels will begin.....plus I noticed a lot of newer people here that this is there first android device......developers work very hard for there non profit work...countless hours of work to what?....get a thanks if that maybe?.....people need to donate more to the developers for there time in giving us the themes and roms and kernels we need to make our device fast and stable.....I noticed and spoke with a few and mentioned not many of them are even getting donations......don't you think that would push or motivate someone to help the community?....if I wasn't getting anyrhing for 100 + hours...me personally would keep my findings to my self if I'm not appreciated...they don't have to share there knowledge ! they do it because there nice ...

I am definitely up for throwing a c-note
to a developer who has a good game plan and shows a roadmap of what they want to accomplish.

Finally get kernel source and development slows down.. bummer

too many new phones coming out!
Great things come to those who wait...
How is it slowing down
We have like a new kernel every day. Read Chad's dev thread he is going warp speed on his progress and we are becoming the only second verizon phone aside form the nexus to have aosp ( tbolt had it because of slayer ).
So right about now, i think if i had the money, i would re-buy the rezound, finally the perfect merge between hardware and software.
And beside all that, all of the devs are busy with school , yet they still have time to try on jelly bean and work on it.
Instead of making a thread like that, i would take the time, go press your max 8 thank yous to every thread and buy them a cup of coffee.
Ok this came out a bit hostile, i am sorry about that, but we have a bunch of awesome devs right, its like we have la creme de la creme now, and i feel completely opposite from you.

Like the last guy said. I don't think it has slowed so much as it has shifted. Everyone seems to be working on soap now. Also school has started and people do have lives (i hope). It's still the weekend, get out there and enjoy it!
We are just getting like literally 100% cm9 like .. any day now. It's at 90% right now.
AOKP is not far behind, idk say 70% currently and will be 100% in a week to three weeks(total guess by me). We have MIUI, not sure where it's at right now haven't been looking. We have great ics ROM's. We have Great sense 4 ROM's. We have great kernels being pumped out everyday now. We have Fully functional GSM ROM's The dev's that are almost done with cm9 are getting into jelly bean now... what more do you want ...
oh yeah and 1-3 people are thinking of porting touch wiz over or something as well.
Edit 2: Oh it also looks like someone is working on paranoid android also hmm so what was it you wanted op a phone that prints cookies right before you get home?
mmm cookies that would be sick xD lawl
Edit 1: It hasn't slowed it has went warp speed in the background
lack of releases =/= lack of development.
And we'll probably be getting jb quite soon.

That's a very snide way to look at development. It's not like this stuff happens over night.
Only thing I have to say is if your unsatisfied with development maybe you should learn to develop yourself. That way you can for fill your own needs. Not sure what people expect sometimes. We have about 4 different kernels all kinds of ROMs, and themes what the hell are you expecting? Let me get you some cheese..
I can tell by your 11 post and 1 thanks that you have a lot to contribute.. This thread should be closed..

Im trying to build ParanoidAndroid from source for us atm, including all the fixes that have happened since the last build was made. Im learning this as I go but I got cm9 built so I know I can do it.
Antp's cm9 kang works great, I've been running it for a few days now and haven't had any compliants about it! Once Devin works on uberkernel more and cm9 reaches full stability on our phones it will be awesome. I was running Neo's adrenaline and it was good but cm9 totally kicks it's ass! The battery life is absolutely amazing, I've had my phone on for 5 hours and I'm at 72% when I'd usually be at about 30 when on a sense rom!

This community went through a lot. We love and respect our developers and their free work. We get riled up when people come and drive our dev away. If you want jb ( which i am sure is coming in due time ) then get the crappy nexus.
Dont forget, we have one of the only 3 phones on the network that can surf and talk on 3g, its a hard radio to figure but bec of out lightning speed developing , we now have aosp on one of the best hardware verizon has.
BTW, any one else think that verizon tech support are highly uneducated ... I keep trying to explain to them this surf and talk over 3g that makes it so special with our rezound and they go " yeah all of our 4g phones can do this on 4g networks , of if there is wifi and 3g. Are they retarted ???? what kind of crap is that , they dont even know their own phones ?
we should make more thread to ***** at verizon , not our devs. I would be down for that .

Who else is sick and tired of looking for the next cool rom. It kinda drives me crazy looking for everything I want a nice put together rom that works well. I mean don't get me wrong who doesn't appreciate all the work that goes into putting a rom together, it seems like theirs always something going on to make u look for another. For example moon rom is an awesome rom but it will freeze where I have to take the battery out to reboot. Jedi rom is cool but u have to do alot of other flashing to get gps and the camera to work. All I'm saying is it gets a little frustrating. About a year ago I was super into Android I can name 50 different phones I had. That were all rooted and always looking for the next big rom. I got so sick of trying to find that never ending search for the perfect rom. I gave up and actually gave up and went to apple iphone 5. Never jail broke not really cause is not available to jailbreak but probably wouldn't have even if I could. Just cause I was so sick of running around trying to find the coolest rom. So how bout everyone else?

Not me.
On my Galaxy Nexus I was running Sourcery and never looked at another ROM.
On my Note 2 I have two favorite TW ROMs and two favorite AOSP ROMs.
That's all I need.
Not really tired and sick but I spend alot of time searching the threads looking for a new rom. I mainly stay on Tw but I always have a backup of Cm. Probably go between them once a week.

Nothing is ever going to be perfect. If it was, we probably wouldn't be looking for ROMs to flash in the first place!

I see this a lot, and I had the same problem with Jedi X 14 (13 was fine). The solution, as has been posted and that has worked for me, is to simply make sure you have a lock before you flash. No extra flashing. I can't speak to the camera problems as I have never had any.
I think perhaps a lot of the frustration comes from learning the idiosyncrasies of each "new operating system". From stock to a ROM to IOS to Windows to Linux to Mac OS, there's always a learning curve. I've gone, through various phones, from IOS to Sense to TW to vanilla android and back countless times. If you are constantly switching to find something "better", you're going to be constantly facing a learning curve. For some that's fun, for others it's annoying. For me personally, it can be both! :laugh:

I think rom flashing is more of an addiction for me. Was perfectly happy with stock....then started the never ending Saga of rom flashing
The only Android phone I never installed any custom rom on was the Galaxy nexus gsm
That phone was awesome on stock.

I used Jelly 'Beans' ROM on my S3 and I use it on my Note 2. Instead of trying to find the whatever ROM made me the happiest, I went for whatever had the most stable build and most useful features and learned to live with anything I didn't like.
Remember, its just a phone. it won't ever do everything you want, but it will communicate with people. Be happy with that.

Boy, your just baiting the trolls and fanboys with this one but I can understand your point of view. I love Android because I get to spend my time looking into the different options that developers put into their ROMs. I think you may be coming off a little disrespectful to the work and time that some of these guys put into what they do... And I want to caution you on that, however you're right, for some devices there is a throng of options to choose from and it may be hard to understand what the real difference is from one developers work to another.
To me, I have developed a trust for developers based on the device OEM I am working with, for Samsung my goto developer is going to be Beans, Scott on HTC... and it's been so long for me on Moto... But to your point.... No I love the research and comparison that comes with all of these options. I have an appreciation for the work that the developers of our community offer to us for free with only the expectation of a donation. I respect the community of users that are always there when I screw something up to answer my questions. Mostly though, it is the fact that I can do so many different things with an Android device... Or choose not do anything to an Android device... that makes it the antithesis of 'sick' or 'tired'.
At the risk of sounding childish, or being viewed as trying to 'one-up' you, and in all seriousness, I genuinely mean this and hope you don't think I am trying to take a shot at you, but iOS is exactly what your answer is. There is no work required to make iOS work the way you want it to because it works the way Apple designed it to work. It is not perfect, and likewise, there is never going to be a perfect ROM for any device... There will never be a perfect device. Is just a matter of what you want. In this case you have what you want. In the great words of that lady who had her head chopped off by her King husband... Let them eat cake!!!

I get it and I think my post might have came off the wrong way. I mean no disrespect to any of the developers. I think all of the work is amazing. Having the first htc google touch smart phone and everything in between might have just burnt me out a little. Maybe just all the different roms mixed in with all the pretentious people just made me ask the question that I did. But ur reply was great and I agree with everything u wrote. Hope I dont waste anyones time.

Again no disrespect to anyone. Everyone just download roms and have a great time doing it. Thats what its all about. Anf I have donated to many devoplers over the years cuz I do have fun at times and do appreciate the work.

From reading your post, this is how you come off to me.
Seems like no matter how a rom is, you will always complain that there is something wrong with it. If you think all of them have problems, learn how to make your own rom and solve your issue.
Also, if you left android for an iphone, you probably should have stayed with it. Normally posts like this are created by people that like iphones but don't like to openly admit it on xda. So in your position, sell the note2 and go get yourself an iphone so then you have no options except what case you should buy.

I have been a crack flasher since the days of old school windows mobile ppc 6600 i believe and have been using android since the og Moto Droid which really jumped it into gear. I was really happy with CM on that phone and when i had a droid2 i was locked down but was a fan of Liberty since they incorporated many of the cm features i liked but once cm7 was released officially that was it. I ended up using that rom on all future devices until I got my Gnex which Aokp took over for me and Team Eos for my Xoom which became my choices for those devices. Aokp is my rom of choice for the Gn2 since i like to support the original devs and their roms are always speedy, stable and has great features and they listened to their supporters and even incoporated S-Pen into the pure asop rom. I'm sure I will try out a few other roms but positive I will go back to what runs the best for speedwise, battery wise and stable which makes life easier.
Of course the option is to learn how to make a ROM and make one that you love
