I've settled on CM7 + nex-s tweaks with DPI + Go Launcher. It has some bugs/shortcomings, but it's stable and smooth on my phone.

I'm using [2.3.5] DarkyROM2 XXKI3 Base, which is very close to stock but with a few additional tweaks. Have been using it for a few days now and all is running top notch and stable.
Give it a try...here's the link as I don't think it's available on XDA yet:

Can i use a different kernel for this? An OC one? Or is supercore OC'd to 1.6ghz already?

Am not sure about other kernels working with Darkyrom as i'm using the Super Core kernel that came with the rom which i know doesn't support overclocking.
You'll see when you get you phone that it really doesn't need overclocking as it's lightening fast already

LeoMar's rom for the personalization and mods that are very simple to install with kernel speedmod! GREAT

I can only recommend Villain ROM (very close to stock, works like a charm) and the speed mod kernel. My phone is very fast and the battery consumption is great.

Thanks to all who replied. I really appreciate it. Can't wait to get my SGS2 tomorrow Thanks alot guys

You need to use an app like setCPU or Voltage Control to OC
If your on JVP then hands down...... CMenards bullet kernels... there is a 1.2ghz, 1.42ghz (recommended by me), and the crazy 1.54ghz! Good luck running it though. I would say it was about 80% stable when I tried it. The 1.42 and the 1.54 both have smartass governors...... which are sweet.......
SETCPU IS NECESSARY!!!!

So I just got a benchmark of almost 4900. Beating out the Galaxy S II at 1.5 ghz.
Honestly, it doesn't mean a lot, but hey, I am just happy to be faster than that phone. Haha.

You'd have to talk to Joker. I'm running his ROM. But I figured for ****s and grins I'd try Shabby's little script for dual core. And it seems to work. So thanks Shabby. Though I haven't been able to get that high everytime, I've hit a couple decent bench's at 4700+

Of course you would say that !. Mostly what i noticed was a really nice theme. It did feel just a bit quicker but that might be a placebo because I liked the way it looked.
Are you going to keep this rom updated cause I really like the look of this and it feels snappy to even more than tasks aokp no disrespect

Really? Quadrant means nothing. Just a number that doesn't show anything about the day to day smoothness or speed of a rom. Try a few roms and you'll see.

Does 1.9Ghz take a dump on the battery life? How much is it worse by? Hopefully not completely in relative to the clockspeed...

i'll get through the day today without charging and moderate use. maybe an hour on the phone. watched half of thor on netflix and read about six chapters of a book on amazon app. it came off the charger around 10am today and will run out around 2-3am im guessing.
**** is snappy man. love it
the trick is to make sure you always charge with the charger the phone comes with to make sure your note is going into deep sleep. besides it only hits 1.9ghz when it needs to. it doesn't run at that speed constantly although you could force it to if you wanted but that would surely eat the battery alive and i'd be scared of frying the processor

Which Rom are you using ?

Atrix 4G, CM7 based TopSmarts 1.3 GB rom, Faux123 1ghz kernel.

MROM because I need working camera/camcorder and GPS that doesn't turn my phone into a raging inferno.
Is there a reason for this thread?? If it's just to get a census of who's using what, why don't you put up a poll??
By the way I'm using Epinter's cm10.
Another newbie here
Love mrom for its stability and battery life
Looking to jump to a stable jb with good battery life. If you find one please let me know! I'll continue to read forum posts on ongoing projs.
