[Q] What's the BEST rom ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all you great people..
I have tryed some of the custom roms for my SGS2.. But I realy dont see much better performance compared to the STOCK rom.
Right now i'm running the Lite'ning rom V6,1 but its draning my battery-
I pulled it from the charger at 6:15 AM this morning and now at 10:00 AM I have only 85% left.. And I have not even used the phone.
I would like to know what ROM's you has as favorite ??
It MUST have support for DANISH language..
Hope to have a GREAT rom flashed later today....

You are going to have someone for sure having a go at you for asking this question because its been asked so many times..So really you should of done is search as your question has been asked so many times over the last god know how long now..
anyway if you want a good rom go and try either BatistaRom 2.2 or try androidmeda..both are good and smooth and battery life as well...they both offer you a stock base rom and then you have options to do what you like with them..aka theme or remove bloatware...i am on batista now and its going great for me..or try VillainRom thats another good rom basic stock but has many tweaks to it.
also read this since you like your stock rom might help you with your battery life

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).

I come from another phone development.. help me

Hey guys, I come from the "Mytouch 3G Slide" development forum, and well..
You guys just have so much its getting me lost lol.
My question is:
with sooooooooooo many roms.. which are the most used and people like the most?
Something that has features to impress the person next to you, its fun, fast, and nice.
Where I come from there's mostly just Cyanogen Roms.. so yeah, im lost, you guys have a LOT of roms.

Look all I want to know is which ROM(s) are good.. You guys have tried them, I have NOT.
I want experience from people who have tried them.
I have rooted LOTS of devices..
Dont go assuming I can't root because I'm posting a simple question.
The ones I tried and that I like the most are:
CriskeloRom V34 (under Galaxy SII Android Development)
CheckROM Revolution V4 (under Galaxy SII Original Android Development)
I hope that helps
Good place to get started
Best way to get started with roms on the SGS2 is go visit here:

one mans good is another mans poor
just read through some of the more popular threads, you can see the number of replies in each one, and flash it if you want to. If you dont like it, flash something different.
Its not rocket science
I've used Checkrom, Criskelo Rom & Hyperdroid. Personal fave is hyperdroid rom. Fast, fluid and amazing battery life

[Q] Best ROM/Kernel for Ray?

Hi friends. My girlfriend recently purchased a Ray. We have rooted the phone and now are ready to install a custom ROM. I wanted a review of ROMs from you guys which you have used on your Ray. (Camera, battery life, smoothness, stability etc.)
You can help me by letting me know about the following ROMs
- CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1
- KA11 Ice Cream Sony
- FreeXperiaProject 7.2
- FreeXperiaProject 9.0
- JJ's HYBRID ROM v3
- RayOnium
Or you could just tell me the best ROM for Ray.

I have tried CM7.2, CM9.0 and Offical ICS BETA ROM V4 Update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516750
ICS BETA is the best so far. CM7.2 and CM9.0 is too buggy for me yet. (IMHO)

Yes but not this kind of question. Clearly you post it at the wrong thread. Why don't you put it on the sticked thread above? And again, none is the Best. It comes down to each person's experiences, and it is not kindly enough to compare something that's been done for passion, with silly ranks. If all ROMs are paid version, you could ask such a question. But it is free so it is ethically not allowed to compare them all, it just makes some war (as i have seen it before on X10MP forum). Try yourself and read all the testimonial. Read before ask will never hurt.

there is nothing bad in asking for help.. Newbies really dont know where to go...
Its just a Kernel or ROM the guy is asking...There wont be anything too sensitive or emotional for Dev if someone helps him choosing a ROM...
@OP... Every ROM has its own features... Depends on users choice or features he/she wants... it just takes 15 mins to check a ROM and its features... try each one by one and stay with the one that suits u more...

Not hating the ROM mind you, just the theme.. And you know me all along since the first mod i popped here, that i kept the theme as stock as possible (at least in rhythm with stock theme), and later you mod the theme for any other. So you knew how much i love sony theme (or too lazy to do a theme of m own) ..
Yes it is just a phone and how nice it is if everybody has the same mind like yours. The thing is, majority of human is human, they like to idolize something and when different peoples with different mind comes together, war..

Well, all I can say is your not yet ready to install custom rom. Unlike any other brand of phones, Sony has a locker bootloader. You have to unlock boatloader first which will void the warranty to install custom ROM.
I'll give you a tip in choosing rom.
1. Go to each rom's thread, read the rom's description first, see if the phone features that are essential for your everyday usage is working as we all now that each has their own pros and cons.
2. Feedbacks, just read feedbacks. It will give you the idea if the Rom is for or not.
3. Number of post, check the number of post. More post may actually mean that many people are using that rom.
Go find it yourself. It's not easy to give comparison as it may hurt the developer's feelings reading some bad comments about their hardworks.

In real i like this topic ... i was reading many things around any Rom ... same with kernels and that's good, what we all together can speak about them all in one place. Coz if u can see, each time when any Rom will be updated, makers did new Topic about it, well why we can't talk about things like that, like new Rom's in one place? For many Dev's it will be nice place too, coz they can see what ppl's like, what they want, for what they downloaded for example MIUI and not Cyan.
Iam interested in this topic, coz iam trying to find balanced Rom, just needed app's in it, everything is working and smooth ... and thats my question of the day, what Rom and kernel(also baseband) draining battery not so fast?
For example on same Rom what i have now iam tried different options in build.prop
pm.sleep_mode=2
ro.ril.disable.collapse=0
but made one mistake in same day iam changed baseband ... and if before my Rom take for whole night 2% of my battery ... after this moves i got 3%.
Today iam trying new baseband and we will see what i can have then.
Well its good to know about them all, i mean Rom's .. and iam tried many of them, last JJ's rom, MIUI from iriijo and bla bla bla. And all what i can say, they all bugged, GB more stable for now and everything is working nice with repack from 4pda .. for nice view i use Go laucher Ex, its overclocked and bla bla bla. I like it, but i love Torch from MIUI with home button and many small things like that in any other Rom.
Well this topic must live, i hope soon we can read here more info and maybe someone can offer to me, how to make my battery life better, coz my phone can stay without charging just 1 day ^^ and one guy at the 4pda forum got 3 days and 14 hours, used 2g(but it was on), not 3g ... used internet, listened music, used wifi also ... i think even 2 days like that should be perfect, but why i can't do the same ?^^
Sorry if my english isn't perfect enough and sorry for to much words in this answer ^^
Rayonium is the best rom for me.

[Q] ROM suggestion

Hi guys. So recently my sister just came back home for her term break and she's leaving soon. She wants an ICS ROM that is fully stable. So if anyone knows any ROMS for the GT-i9100G <-- Notice the G ( flashed an i9100 rom once and it did not end up well ) , can you please leave a reply? Thanks!
A little pointer:
This thread is about to get closed. You're not allowed to ask for suggestions as it's along the same line of "which is the best?". Try some ROMs and see which is the best for her.
also if anyone knows a fix to this, i'll be very much grateful. After flashing the wrong ROM ( an i9100 ROM ) I restored to original firmware via Odin. And after that I realised that the vibration does not work anymore. Is there a fix to this?

Tough. Not our problem. Mods will close this thread soonish with a bit of luck. As already suggested, try some roms out until you find one you (she) likes.
Edit - If you do a search, there are dozens and dozens of these threads already (many recent ones despite mods closing these as soon as they're alerted to their presence; mods are really busy/live in different timezones & people have often already replied to the threads/given recommendations before the threads are closed) & they should give you some ideas.
Besides which, as evidenced in your other thread that you also asked for ROM suggestions, people will end up just blindly suggesting ROMs (for the i9100, for example) that won't work on your device. (an i9100G)
You should try and flash a new Sammy 4.04 ROM, I hear the performance and battery life is amazing. One user got 7 days on stock battery with wifi turned on the whole time whilst getting over 9000 scores in quadrant. I hear Checkrom V7 is getting really good reviews....

Checkrom v7 is an i9100 ROM. The guy has an i9100G.
So I understand your need for information fast but this is whats the "best" rom. In the end what you think (or her) is stable is not what everyone else thinks. My best advice is read and try it out and make that decision for yourself. This thread is closed

i know your gone for a little bit on the Vibrant end but some one needs to revamp an older miui release and bring it up to par for those of us who dont want to use miui V4 and want the Gingerbread snappy feel :laugh:

But I figured it wasn't my place to ask, and more so...I wasn't sure if he liked working with GB since he does awesome Froyo work.
Sorry for the tangent, this made me think of that lol
Anyways, I love Miui GB.....Prime was one of my favorite roms...I was getting 2 days of life easy with every charge. An optimization would be absolutely sweet.
You know who would be your man? N00B_IN_N33D.
He has the Miui ROMs and was an avid supporter/user before he came rom Zen. I would hit him up before he starts back up at school.
Btw, anyone know why Fish left? Read his threads but don't know. Just time off or moving on?
