Hi guys i know already properly alot of people have asked this question but what is the best rom to use on galaxy s2.
I just upgraded and got me the galaxy s2 over the sensation and i am loving it so far..But would like to find out what rom out there is best to use on a daily basis. So if anyone has any recommendations i would appreciate it
No best rom try them is the simple answer yet again.
If their was a best rom then their would only be one rom .
I know this answer has been given many many times but its the answer .

The best rom is the one you like the best. Now get flashing.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

undervolting has a lot to do with battery life. especially ask laptop owners with core 2 duo's what undervolting does. don't spread false information because you're not impressed or it didn't meet your expectations.

can you change kernels once you are on a custom rom or is always best to go by the one that comes with the rom

ya you can change the kernal of ur choice there is no rule that you have to use the kernal that comes with the rom. you can try speedmods kernal if you want battery life is your priority or go for ninphetamine kernel if you want OC/UV.
So far I found VillainROM + SpeedMod kernel giving me the best battery life, might even be better with undervolting and Black Android theme, but since this ROM doesn't support undervolting and I love my current theme, I haven't tried them.
Just my RM 0.02

Stock, hands down. Everything works with no fuss.
In the long run, though, I would say Cyanogenmod will be the best, when Samsung moves on to support newer phones, and "forgets" about SG2...

This is true. However, deep inside I really wish to ask that as I tried so many and so hard to decide.
Here's a quick breakdown
Cognition
- smooth
- why I dislike: The feel of the UI (self preference)
Litening 4.1
- GREAT
- really fast in speed
- why I dislike: been too long see-ing blue colour
VillianROM
- GREAT
- smooth UI, fun to play, many tweaks according to your liking
- why I dislike: seeing too much green robot is boring (if you get what I mean)
Exynos Extreme
- current favourite
- very smooth, like the part where the author actually remove unwanted apps for us
- downside: 3.4 is a little buggy (can't copy and paste), 3.3 is smooth and GREAT
Generally, Litening 4.1 give good battery life. Exynos too but I am using Exynos with SpeedMOD so a little different here.
There you go

It's a fair question but prbably should have asked which ROM people prefer. I hate it when people get flamed for asking which ROM people like best. Some of us don't have the time to download every ROM out there and just want to hear others' opinions..
Keep the opinions coming - I want to be tempted away from stock!
Exynos. best ive used so far

I got to agree. Some reason, it felt unique compared to Litening and the rest. Not sure why though.
The best ROM is subjective and will probably change within a week of this question been asked.

Try them and find out. People are always asking questions like this and they just get a bunch of people telling you what ROM they use. Trying them yourself is the only way you will ever get an answer to your question.
Most people don't bother and just end up using what the majority uses, cos that's the advice they were given. May as well buy an iPhone if that's what you're gonna do

Completely agree. You should try all the ROMs that interest you (look at the features they have and compare them), use them for a coule of days each. It could be for example that you try a ROM that you love because of its features but can't stand because of the theme, or the other way around, you love how it looks like but it's feature-poor. The only way to know these things for sure is to see for yourself.
In my case, I've only tried the Leomar75 Revolution from those 3, and I think that one would be a safe choice, but maybe you could wait a little for it because v2.7 was just released yesterday and is still having some bugs (there is a new version 2.7.1 that appears to be working good but I don't know). I personally love the ROM, (I used v2.6) and will definitively try the XXKI3 version in a couple of days (or even sooner).
Love my SG2 to bits, however, I dont seem to be able to find a rom that is battery friendly.... Any suggestions?
I am on 2.3.4, so what do others think is better to improve battery life, upgrade andriod or find a better rom.... if the latter, which do people think is the best performing one

Hi Galaxy SII users! For the first N.E.A.R. ROM (New Era Android Rom), what type of rom would you like to see? A Gingerbread based rom again but with the N.E.A.K. kernel integrated and specially modified for it or a new ICS based rom but for the moment without N.E.A.K. (because has not yet been released kernel source)? Vote all!!!!
I have already voted for ICS XD
I voted GB as ICS is not yet mature. And I need a stable ROM I can depend on for personal use and also for work.
Let ICS wait until Samsung delivers us a full grown version and then use that as base for a new ROM.
GB without NEAK .

If we release a rom, it will be WITH NEAK Kernel....
So please, if you don't like it, just go for another rom, maybe u don't know that customizing a rom is pretty much simple, anyone can do that and it's mainly do a stupid theme (very easy), mod 2-3 apps (or better copy from others), and add a few scripts that no one knows what are they doing...
I've developed ROMs for the GS1, and all i can say is that a rom is ONLY made by a kernel for performances, smoothness and battery life
All the rest is graphical, that's why the NEAR Project is meant to give NEAK users a really good and almost perfect user interface and experience to enjoy their phones as much as possible with the smoothness of NEAK Kernel
Don't like my opinion? Just go away and search for another usual "ROM", probably kanged from other good devs

GB all the way for me for NEARv1 without a shadow of doubt.
Only when ICS sources are released, and is stable, look into the possibility of an ICS NEARv2 with ICS NEAK

You didn't understand my right....
The poll is about what kind of NEAR Rom do u want to see...there are 2 options, u said a third one that it will be surely not used....that's all
We gave u 2 options, if u don't want one of them, just don't post here saying that NEAK is bad etc...
Also, as i read, u know almost nothing on how are kernels made, and i'm thinking u see a ROM as a Kernel, when they are completely different in way of development and skills needed
Just my 2 cents
PS: and please don't say that a rom is better than another when only the theme is different

GB N.E.A.R. all the way at the moment.
Until a stable and usable version of ICS comes out, then it must be GB.
There's already too many half arsed attempts at ICS ROM's out there already. I want something that is 100% stable and usable.

Lol i'm 100% sure it will be as good as SH, i knew you coulnd't resist making a rom for the sgs2.
Maybe ics is the way to go now although there isn't a real good base to work with, you can get familiar with ics and try things out...and ics looks more like Simply Honey then gb

Thats one good reason for me to disregard anything you say as being valid .
Why well you seem to be able to twist words and put a totally different context in to the reply .
You say i have no idea how kernels are made nothing in my posts on this thread give any indication as to that .
You keep banging on about custom roms and me thinking a kernel is a rom nonsense .
You jump in again with a lack of knowledge and say
and please don't say that a rom is better than another when only the theme is different
Where the f^^^ have i said that .
Fact i have a self customized rom not from XDA .
Fact that rom has had a number of kernels installed over a number of weeks kernels not themes .
Fact kernel of choice is not based upon builders hype and lets face it they are all hyped as the best yet . its actually based upon two factors one my usage and two an independent test .
Fact is my original reply was a mistake as i read the OP wrong or misunderstood its context .
Fact you then jump down my throat in a number of posts accusing me of not knowing what a kernel is and thinking like some ignorant noob saying one kernel is better cause it has a better theme .
Now my regard for Devs and the work they do is very high even for the ones where i don't use their stuff . it would have been for you also before you started slagging me off with your unfounded comments .
I have no intention of prolonging your stupid replies by posting in this thread again .

Before to make this a debate. I must say that this is all my personal opinions.
I wish you all to know that I have probably flashed all kinds of roms, SEEKING to find some kind of PERFECT rom, but you all know that we as humans will never get and accept something that is perfect, as perfect. (just love be4 she dumps you xD)
So continuing with this thread, I wish to share my experiences with you ALL <3 and hopefully answer all of your questions.
Stock CM9 KERNEL/ROM
Pros: The best one i have tried with almost never changing Battery life, I love it and always return to this bad guy after a bunch of roms with bad battery life. You must get this!
Cons: Little to none customization when it comes to governors.
Siyah x
Pros: considered as the best kernel for almost 78% of the XDA(not really, hehe), they like this because of the multiple governors and for being one of the best kernels with cero problems, always updating. Apart from it, it also supports 2nd rom in recovery, so its perfect.
Cons: as all other kernels, in order to get best battery life, you need to tweak them, change voltages, and it takes time, without changing anything from this kernel, the battery life goes to 90% from 100% with only 4 minutes.
Other kernels
Pros: you get to try new kernels...Woohooo!!!
Cons:just not as good as siyah kernels without customizing them.
So I hope you find this as a little entertainment for both, me and you, with love, bye!....
Seriously, what's the meaning of this thread?
