Hey everybody!
Now as there are a lot of ROMs for our S2 it's quite hard to decide which one to take. To make it easier for someone who's still searching it would be nice to know which ones are the most used ones.
I won't put any versions here, just the main name cause the versions change very fast
So, which ROM do you prefer and are you using at the moment?
Why do you use it?
Double thread, why?

Because he didn't know how/if he could make a poll. It's quite clear if you read the redundant thread
Is there any quick summary of the key features of these kernels? I'm finding the ROM threads a little light in the first post on features and limitations. I know it's subjective, but it would be nice if someone could collect a 2 line summary of each rom. Along the lines of [perf/power] [de/odex] [stock apps/minimal apps]. Also if they are supported only with a specific kernel or not.
leomar for me is the best! if you read the topic of this rom, you will see that the developer is also creating the revolution app...i suggest to stay informed about this rom!
i like cognition S2. always up to date.
Self adapted Cognition 1.2 with added boot /sounds /ringtones/ home brew CSC Hardcores Kernel .

Yes, i realize this has been asked over 9000 times before (though a search for "best" didnt return anything), and yes i know best is different for everyone, so i dont expect a definate answer, im just looking for some opinions.
Which rom/kernel packages have you used, what are you using now, and why? what makes the one your using now better (or worse) than previous packages?
Im no stranger to flashing kernels / roms, however to me they all seem to be very similar, just different theming (i use Go Launcher anyways, so thats a non-issue.)
Lets get some general feedback which Kernels / roms you like and which ones you tried and hated!
I use the is this thread for real ROM, coupled with the I can't believe you made a new thread about this even after knowing there's loads already, kernel.
I find it works really well, much better than the previous threads.
Like i said, i used the search, nothing popped up. If you know better keywords to search for i'll gladly read through previous threads instead of waiting for people to post yet again.
Theres no way i can sift through the thousands of posts that are here when the search wont help me.
Let's see, from the past few days, searching for "kernel rom" in the Q&A section.
Poll: Which custom ROM(s) (any ver.) you usually flash on I9100?
[Q] which rom is best?
[Q] SGS2 Fast ROM & Kernel Combo (5333 Quadrant).
Which rom its better or the best?
[Q] What is best ROM for SII ?
[Q] which is the best combination of kernal ver and Rom for good battery life??
Which ROM to pick up? Too spoilt for choice!.
Thread closed.
Best relies on so many variables flash as what's best for someone else isn't likely to be best for you! Make a backup and flash away...............
First thing first, Yes I am a noob. I am trying to learn how to build custom roms. I already created a working rom based off of the UCPLC5 leak. I pretty much just deleted apk files and zipaligned the rom. I am wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me figure out where to find fix'x and mods such as accurate battery mod or 5ghz wifi fix. Is there a website that I need to look into? I have tried searching google to no avail. I also tried the search here but I am unable to get any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
you're on pretty much the only resource you need.....learn how to search, thats all i can say, because there is no 'directory of mods/fixes'.....

Task did 90% of the work, you just tweaked that base.
Learn to grab the untouched firmware and extract, deodex it then start working from that.
If you are working on a i9100 base, it would be best to check there forum section.
Deodexing and a number of the basic porting fixes are covered in my guide in the Development section.
5 GHz wifi fix doesn't apply to AT&T bases unless AT&T ****ed up on an epic scale, it's only for ported European firmwares. That's covered in the guide too.

More than that....more like 99.5. I wouldn't even call it tweaking yet.

I know this might get flamed but, what Kernel do YOU have the best results on, i know everyone uses their phones different, have different apps and all. but as an individual which Kernel do you achieve the most satisfaction out of?
ATM using RotBox 1.2
Latest Fluxi Kernel
About a week ago I switched to the rooted XWLPG stock Sammy kernel (using with an XWLPG based ROM) and the results have surprised me. Battery life and scrolling performance are as good as any other custom kernel I've used, and there are no bugs I've come across. I know that a couple of other people have complained about the smoothness of this kernel, but I have not experienced that problem, even when running underclocked at 1 GHz.
first of all, questions go in the q&a section.
and for us to recommend a kernel, one would have to know, what rom you use. you cannot use certain ics kernels with gingerbread and you cannot use stock kernels with aosp.
and how do you get a thanks for a question like that?

I thanked him accidentally. Gave you one too for your trouble.
Just try them yourself. A good place to start would be to sort the forum by "Stats".

First, questions are not encouraged in General Section. Read rules before doing some action.
Second, have you read OP of that kernel you want to install? If no, then read it
If yes, then follow it
Third, There is no best mod. Some may like one and some may another.
Fourth, kernels are in development section, go and read the thread, you'll know how to do it
Hi, guys!
First, I love the S6 edge. Beautiful, nice design and features... But I´m having issues with the multitasking, battery and general speed. I´m currently in 5.1.1 STOCK and I´m thinking in a change. So, as far as I know there are 2 options; change the ROM or else change the Kernel.
The ROM I found the best is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-carhdrom-1-t3111519/page111
And the Kernel is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/orig-development/tw-simplkernel-t3091094
So, my question is if I should just change the Kernel or I should go for the whole ROM. I am not really sure if changing the kernel will make things faster and with better battery life...
Can you help me with this? I would also need ROOT access, s o maybe the ROM is a good option as the Kernel doesn´t have ROOT as far as I know.
Thanks, guys! I really appreciate your support!
Well most ROMs here are using Stock kernel, so i suggest u flash a ROM of ur choice, the ROM makers do some tweaking that surely make the phone feel snappier.
Good Luck.
First of all, you should read the forum rules. This doesn't belong into Android Development.
Duplicate of Change KERNEL or ROM?
Closed. OP DO NOT Double Post even across forums.
