firstly if you want to know what rom is best use the search button in the forum and see other threads with the same question that you have..reason im saying that alot of people ask the same question so you could read what they have posted and what people suggested to them..also read the following link and that would give a good idea about rooting

Welcome to the Galaxy SII community.
Obviously you did a search to find this site. Would it not have been a good idea to use the Search within this site to see if your question had already been answered already? This search would have came up with the same answer to the 'which ROM is the best' - there is no such thing. There are newer versions of the stock (Samasung) ROM you have. There are also customised ROMs available, these are designed to suit the requirements of the person who built them -performance, style, battery life, etc. It is the equivlent of asking, what is the best food - it is all down to personal taste.
My advise is to play around with your phone and get to know it. Have a good read around here so you are more informed. Try out an updated stock rom. Then by all means try out different custom roms to see which one is the best for you (don't forget to really read up before you do anything).
I would say the Dungeon is the best witch room, but only if it has an en-suite caldron.

[Q] Custom ROMs, anything to do with root, what should i do?

Hey guys, this is my first post, so correct me if im in the wrong place!
So i've had my Samsung galaxy SII (GT-I9100) for about 3 months now, and i only found out about root probably 1 week ago! haha
So i have rooted my Galaxy with CF-Root, off xwkk2 kernal (link below), on Gingerbread 2.3.6 and i was wondering what i should do with it? I have tried a few custom roms, none of which seem to want to stay working, so do you guys have any good ones i should check out?
Also, i was wondering if anyone can point me towards a list of all root apps, as i am interested in more than just Titanium Backup (AMAZING) and the like.
Oh, and if you guys could tell me both how to "Thank" someone on the forums, and even how to install anything you have suggested, i will love you forever
Thanks a lot guys,
Tangent5
Ps Thank you everyone on this site who has helped me with boot problems, and special thanks to Chainfire!

A google of "android root apps" gives numerous lists.
Without knowing which custom ROMs you've tried, why they didn't work for you and how you use your phone, it's very difficult to recommend you anything.
You rooted thanks to doing your research and reading here, the same method will help you with installation queries etc. Check the links in my sig.
This thread is a good one if you're wanting to freeze/remove 'bloat' from your phone (I recommend freezing rather than uninstalling outright) using Titanium.
thanks a lot guys! deleted loads of bloatware
Oh and i tried the resurrectionv1.0_remix, it was good, but it didnt come with CWM, so i have to unroot then re-root to get everything fixed, as all recovery i tried went mad
So is there any other roms? I've heard DARKYROM is good, but i cant seem to find the best place to dl, and i cant really be bothered if there are some you can recommend
thanks again, sorry but how do i thank you /give your post karma?
No. Many people don't do recommendations for roms/kernels (I don't anyways).
Because everyone's phone is setup differently, everyone uses their phone differently & phones come out of the factory slightly different component-wise. Chances are you wouldn't have the same experience of a rom or kernel than me for those reasons.
Given how easy it is to backup/restore with CWM, I recommend having a look at the threads devoted to different roms in the development forum, usually reading the first page & the last 10/20 will give you a fair guide to the features/pluses/minuses & other users experience with the rom/kernel.
Then try out as many roms as you need to until you find one you like.
Edit to add - Also, this thread is a great source of info for Aus SGS2 users.

best way to get to know your phone is break it few times lol
this is what i did in 1 - 2 months when i bought my SGS2
flash alot of things > play around with tweaks/mods > soft bricked it twice > settled down onto what i found to be best

In that case be aware that root custom roms or rom counter above zero void warranty .

[Q] Some questions regarding SIII kernal and roms

Hi, as you can see, I am totally new to the android scene, I did some exploring on this forum, and it's quite messy for me, so i figured i could just ask some questions and hear advice from different people.
1. can somebody recommend me a rom and kernal to use??
2. if my stock kernal/rom isn't released, can i just flash a different stock kernal/rom from my country?? (from another telco's)
thanks guys!!

As linked above no "best" threads. Search, Read and test them yourself.

Custom RoM suggestion for s2 i9100 :D

Hmm ... let's start ... guyz i need your help and opinions i need a good ROM for my s2 ... i have one now a cyanogemod 10.1 i think 4.2.2 but sometimes is pretty laggy or the phone is blocking and i have to reboot , please HELP ... someone told me about Biftor but i wait more suggestion with some good and STABLE ROM'S
This one. Threads like this are forbidden here (Try a bunch of roms out until you find one that suits your needs like the rest of us).
i didn't ask who is the best i want just some suggestion ... it's a difference
$50 says mods close this thread shortly.
Check out the development forum and have a read through all the 4.2.2 roms that are available or even the 4.3 roms. Have a read of each thread and you'll get an idea of what the users of that particular rom think about it.
Trial and error is the best way until you find the one that suits you.
cheers

[Q] Best original updated rom?

Hey guys,
Got the Samsung galaxy Ace s5830i, just come outta the box, and discovered its got some old 2.x version of gingerbread
Time to Flash a new rom i think!
Just quickly looked through the ROM's but there are loads of them.... so heres a question:
What rom is most like 4.2 Andriod Jelly Bean? I'm looking to make my phone as much like the ROM on the samsung galaxy sIII.
il be happy to hear any opinions on whats the best ROM, which looks and feels like the jelly bean 4.2 rom on the s3? (can you post links if u mention a rom please, so i can decide what to flash !)
Thanks

There's no such thing as best rom. Read Rules before you post. Browse though the development section and see which rom suits you more

Don't be lazy and test roms by yourself, like everyone else. No one knows you and what you needs, so it might be hard for us to guess what is the best rom for you. So, please do not create threads like this and do this type of question further. There are plenty of roms in the style you said.
Thanks for the understanding,
