Whats a good 2.3.4 rom that has somewhat good battery life, One that is very fast gets good linepack/Quadrant scores, And lastly a rom in 2.3.4 that is stable.
If anyone could point me towards a Rom like this it would be very much appreciated.
I wouldn't use a 2.3.4 ROM yet, not all the kernels are compatible with it. It could bork WiFi, camera, etc., since the kernel source for 2.3.4 hasn't been released by HTC yet. Also, there isn't much of a difference if you're just gonna be running a custom ROM on it.
Alright thanks for the tip so right now I'm on the stock 2.3.4 rooted ROM I can just convert back to a 2.3.3 ROM without any issues if I'm correct?

I'm using Synergy lastest build, just use subversion and keep up w/ every change and add your own stuff to the apps and take out those you don't want.
Plus the new wifi tether beta5 works so got all my functionality back.

Hello, I will be getting an Aria soon and was wanting to put the froyo rom on it. My question is, is it necessary to update the kernel and the radio or should the rom work fine without doing those?

The ROM includes those both so you should have no problem by just flashing a new ROM. I personally recommend you go for the FR008 Deodexed ROM.
Thanks, that is the ROM I am going to use.
I used Sense UI for about 6 months before I got fed up with it. I have CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Liberty on my Aria with the Gingerbread theme and LauncherPro as my default launcher. Love it. So much quicker, customizable, and efficient. Battery life has improved tremendously since switching to all this.
I like the look of HTC Sense
I just wanted to know whats the best stock rom for S II. I am happy with the phone's performance on 2.3.3. I want every features of the stock rom better audio quality, google talk with video calls and atlast tad better battery life.
Well, i think the battery life is depend on individual settings, like 3G,Wifi,sync etc.
For me is Leomar75 Revolution the best Rom at the moment. It comes with a kitchen app that allows you to install themes,roms and kernels. i tried Skyrom, Criskelo and lightning. look in the thread from Leomar and then decide for yourself.
2.3.4 is almost knocking on the door, so no benefit to discuss about 2.3.3, still am using the KF3 for a month now, very stable and the best IMO.
Criskelo V10, Lighning 5,Skyrom 4.0 and LeoMar75 2.4 are based on the latest firmware XXKG6 Gingerbread 2.3.4, LeoMar is the only with FullWipe (Apps and Settings cleared)
The next official Stock Firmware with 2.3.4 will be roll out soon
As the first rom i would use litening rom, no root needed and it can ne flashed via odin. Comes with root and cwm. At the moment i like leomar rom most, his kitchen app is really cool and easy to use, for kernels rom updates themes and other stuff. Nearly every day updated .
You have to try.
the best roms are:
1 - samsung stock
2 - CM
3 - AOSP ports
Other roms bring next to nothing (couple of menu item tweaks and sound tweaks) but bugs and a skin. You've to realize that all the claims they make about speed or battery have no substance, there is nothing that is done toward those goals and 99% of them don't actually know what they're doing at all. Sad state of affairs if you ask me.
I have tried almost all the ROMs out here in XDA, except CyanogenMod. Out of all the ROMs that I tried, MIUI is the best in terms of User Experience and User Interface and above all the super fantastic battery life. Go and give it a try, you wont be disappointed. This is the REAL ROM, the MIUI guy has taken customization totally to a different level.
If you're a fan of stock with some few subtle additions try Darky2 KG6 ROM. I applied the ROM (No wipe), then applied the odexer zip and then a JKay theme and app from the themes section. Looks sweet and works perfectly
Cm (Cyanogenmod) is a very good rom, but not at this time and not if you using Kies. I am waiting for stable Version and will test it too
LeoMar is a very good rom. The kitchen app is very useful if you want to flash kernels,themes and if there is a new update you can flash it thru kitchen app.
CM7 Ftw! And of course for a full AOSP eperience, you can try AdamG's Oxygen!
I will be sticking to CM7 though, for me it's the best, fully customizable and full of tweaks.
Thank for guiding
I beleive I should try no wipe roms at first then I should try the full-wipe roms.
I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

1. there's no exact answer to which rom or kernel gives the best batt life. u should actually test them to see which fits your preference. there are also threads here which does benchmarkings and testing out batt life. try searching for them.
2. when u install a custom rom, it will say on their thread on what baseband version they based their rom. for example, LeoMar's ROM is based on KH3, etc. the rom chooses it for you basically.
3. the latest is 2.3.4, and almost all custom ROMs are based on 2.3.4. no need to flash anything extra
Ok so do I actually have to find a XXKG2 or MUGKG2 based ROM or I can take anything? And from personal experience which one do you think is the best one?
you can actually take in anything (at least your phone's getting an updated baseband version thru the custom roms).
i'm not quite sure how the different versions of the baseband affects my phone. i don't notice any difference in performance actually.
Aight!!! Thanks man. Which one do you recommend?
you can try using the dlev2 rom version 1.2 , its indeed great and also has good battery life

cognition or litening rom can be good choices to start with.
leomar rom gives a lot of customization options because it has a kitchen app on the android market.
My recommendation is that you read some more, get comfortable before you flash anything on your device, know what you are about to get into instead of going on someone else's opinion, the questions you ask are of someone who doesn't fully understand what they are about to do.
It helps when you read a lot, you are able to think your own way through if something doesn't go exactly as planed, else you would have to come right back here to ask a million questions
you can find official firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
as a few posts above i agree what that person said..do a bit more reading before you start flashing. i can remember the time when i wanted to start flashing and rooting and when i did not back up the stock rom the first time i panicked and i did not know what to do and how to get back the stock rom...funny now but back then not so funny..
anyway research play with your stock rom for a while and then flash...for custom rom i would suggest a few...Im using BatistaRom 3.7.7 its the smoothest fastest and battery efficient rom i have used so far...even when i go and try other roms i always come back to this one. For battery as well VillainRom 2.4.2 is one heck of a custom rom and the battery life on that bad boy is wicked..
With regarding kernels again it varies...read the threads of the rom you are interested in flashing and see what people suggest on them..
good luck and be careful when rooting and flashing. any help you need throw me a PM..
Yeah, there are like tons of ROMs and customizations for SGS2 and all major developers are cooking something or the other for our GS2...
Selection of ROM depends only on taste. Some people wants battery life, some people wants only speed and performance. So ask yourself, what kinda ROM you need. One built from scratch, one modded from stock, AOSP?
I use GingerMod Vanilla 0.4. Suits my taste
Hey Guys!
Just installed CWM onto my phone. I have one question as the title says. If I install the home base ROM, how do i later install the Stock ROM back without losing anything? Like CWM or the unlocked bootloader etc?
Would like to try out differenct kernels on my phone now. But I need to know whether i can go back to stock without losing anything.. Data / Apps would be fine.
Another question, which is the best kernel? Home base rom without any bloatware is the one I am thinking of getting into. Please advise.
Don't bother with home base. Development is dead and home base is based on out dated code. Your best bet is joker's ROMs and kernels. Skinny will give you a Sprint bloat free ROM while retaining all the core functionality of the stock moto ROM. For example, the stock music player gives you shoutcast and podcast support, this is retained in skinny.
Joker stock gives you a tuned, stock experience. Skinny gives you a light weight screamer. Skinny complete gives you all the improvements of skinny plus webtop+. Joker also has a ton of kernels to play with.
Hey loki. First of all i really appreciate your work out here
Ok so i'll have a look into jokers roms... but again if i wanna get back to stock by removing all the custom kernels?
Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...
