Which ROM out there has the best support and the least flaws? I know none will be perfect but I would like a ROM that is fast,stable, and has optimal battery life. I know i could use the V6 Supercharger to make a ROM faster but I would like to know what ROM you guys recommend? Thanks
For the 10 billionth time: It's really up to you to figure this out. Considering that there's only 4 custom ROMs available (for the 7510), I think you are capable of doing the research yourself.

Sorry for hijacking ur thread

I'm going to second the in paris v5, I just rooted and flashed and couldn't be happier. There is one clich that I found and that is on some web pages in browser it will not let you go back with the back arrows, small problem but so far the only one I see.
Task650 makes the best ROM.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
check out the dev. forums, do a little research. If your asking you shouldn't be flashing roms really. All v6 supercharger does in most cases is mess things up
So avoid flashing supercharger? It doesn't take a computer genius to flash a ROM, I just don't have the time to flash every ROM and mess with it, thanks for the positive responses though.

I have yet to see any real proof that the supercharger script actually makes this thing better. I have flashed and run all of the different ROMs, and its really up to you as far as look and feel are concerned.
As far as support goes, I will say that Task and Phantom has been great in keeping us bug free, but I have not interacted with the other devs as much, and so I won't knock their Roms because I can't say what their level of support is.
Happy Flashing
Overcome is good too
I will say that I like both in Paris and Overcome. In Paris has a custom theme which I'm not fond of but you can install the touchwiz theme over it if you prefer. I like Overcome because it is the stock honeycomb theme.
It's really a rather personal choice so you do have to try more than one to decide.

THREAD RULES: We DO NOT ask for ETA or release dates in this thread!
So it seems like everybody goes crazy when it comes to the porting of CM7. But why?
I got my hands on a SGS2 with CM7 installed. Tried it, experienced it a little. From what I experienced the CM7 wasnt something that special. I asked the owner of the phone what he though of the ROM. To my surprise he said "it's just a ROM". He also mentioned that the stock ROM was smoother.
So now I'm wondering, why all the fuzz? What are you expecting from CM7? What makes it so special and so popular?
I'm pretty sure that a lot of people who craves for the porting of CM7 has no clue of this.
(off topic: tbh, i'd rather prefer MIUI.)
edit: for the interface
My sister's Backflip has CyanogenMod 7 installed with 2.3.3 (Not even Froyo is released in Asia-Pacific regions) , it allows her to have OC/UV kernels from 600Mhz to 748Mhz . Her phone is wayyyyy less laggier than stock .(the difference is obviously obvious)
I'm not really good on those areas but arent you able to do that using SetCPU?

he said using oc/uv.. his sister device only support 600mhz by default, but because she uses custom oc/uv kernel, she can achieve 748mhz with help of setcpu. it depends on clock stepping that were supported by kernel, not by setcpu. setcpu only help to configure those clock stepping
Oh, never knew about that. From my use of SGA 800mhz is doing alright.
And as I mentioned, not really good at those areas so I didnt even know that "oc/uv" was overclock and undervolt xD
Some bugs fixed are gonna be fixed in CM. Camera quality should be bit better. Theme engine is built into ROM, so there will be much more themes for SGA. Im also excited about haptic feedback (not sure about this one).
And much more...
What i wish most for, is fix for SoD...

I'm not really excited for cyanogenmod, but for MIUI. I want it so bad!
MiUi is cyanogen based, if I'm not wrong.
First off I'm sure in cm there will be accurate battery reporting. No ****ty jumps in percentage.
Second, if CM is under way I believe developers will include uv, through kernels or modules. Overclocking though, may not be necessary.
Other than that the rom has so many tweaks. Over time and development CM will make our original firmware outmoded because it WILL get smoother.

Speed, stability, power, eyecandy, etc, etc.
But most of all; bugfixes and much more stability compared to stock firmware, as it is said that CM7 is build from the ground up so in my eyes it won't or even can't have the flaws that stock has.
Hey, it's only my opinion.
i think it`s only way to forget about SODs
Cyanogen is popular for a few reasons. It incoporates most worthwhile mods and runs normaly as well if not better than stock. Plus for me on a personal view it will help to get miui for sga.

You gave me a reason to wait for CM7 (Y)
hahaha..if you want to know..CM is a special ROM I guess, more unlock option on kernel than stock ROM, so I can say CM is a very customizing ROM.
for a prove, u can use an app called Tasker, on that app u can get more customized settings if u using CM.

Just doing a poll here to help new GS2 users decide what rom they will choose as well as converting users like me to newer roms.
So have a vote, what rom do you use on your Galaxy S II and go on don't be lazy tell us why you like it so much and how its different from everything else out there.
Im on Darky Rom2, My friend has Darky's on his SGS I and so when i got my SGS II i thought I would take a peak, I find it stable and smooth, but lacking in features other roms have
Stock just working brilliant with good battery live and very very stable

Oh don't get me wrong I love it otherwise I would of swapped, but with some other roms you get theme chooser, Callrec and a few other intergrated things that aren't available in Darky's, doesnt make it a bad rom though.
CM7, because it's one of 2 ROM's that supports the PS3 controller. All the other ROM's will eventually nick parts of it anyway so I may as well get the features direct from the source.
Stock, rooted.
Debating something different, but want to be armed with more knowledge first. Most important criteria for me are: battery life, stability, ALL phone functionality retained, and lastly aesthetics, something about blue system colours sings to me.
I'm on cockrom v8.2. I like it because it's hardcore.
Thanks for the helpful thread btw, really original.
Sensation rom because its beautiful. However I do find stock is most stable.
I'm very happy with the performance and stability of the stock ROM, more than I ever imagined. TouchWiz 4.0 is actually very, very fast, IMO.
I've tried other launchers... even paid versions... and I still think that TW performs wonderfully fast and fluidly on the Galaxy S II. It seems that Samsung really did something right here. So, while I love the fact that the devs are always working on new stuff, I'll trade stability for the bleeding edge these days.
My 2 cents.
Cognition 1.5.1 - fast, stable and battery-friendly.
Miui for me at the moment, fantastic ROM. However with the BT not working I will probably be going back to stock until thats fixed. Really need BT to work.

I'm using cognition 1.5.1, I like this rom the most because its decent on battery life, stable, and stock looking, besides the added power menu (reboot, download, and recovery), and added drop down menu allows for data on/off.
I am using check rom v2....and the battery life and stability is excellent so far. The dev answers all questions, and after trying ALL the others available, i find this is my personal favourite.
The full screen contact pictures when making a call are great and checks ram script make this a wonderfully smooth rom.....i recommend to anyone.
Surprised to see that u dont have gingermod rom listed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220283
Its the best of both worlds. Has the ASOP looks and u can add any stock feature that u want.
I am an asop rom person and with this rom there are no deficiencies.
Cognition here as well: close to stock with all the right mods to make it a smooth and battery friendly experience. I also enjoyed using Sensation very much.
Have been using Cognition since I got my sgs2 and it is wonderful rom. Like the above poster has said it is close to stock and better.
So I just bricked my arc, (I will never again stray from XDA) might go out and buy an SGSII.
Which custom rom should I install from the brief looks I have had, I really like the Astetics of Turkbay it looks beautiful. Exynos seems to be where the functionality is at.
Advice Please

If you read the faqs for each rom you can decide what you want .
Otherwise stick with stock .

Flash whatever you like. Your asking such a general question you'll get fans of each rom saying flash this flash that.
Take your pick, try it out, if you don't like it move on.

first you can check the screen shoot of each rom then compare the feature of each one... and go on to install what you like.... after test you can decide to change or stay.

was using exynos before going to checkrom, very happy with the change
I was using MIUI for it looks, but I lost all the functionality and I wanted to come back to stock rom but it sucks. So i found three roms i want to test out.
Hydroxygen by Paradoxxx
WickedRom by Chetan Mohanty
The GingerMod by 89luca89
WickedRom is stock with a lot of changes and upgrades
Hydroxygen is AOSP. Very fast, used with void .echo kernel and its simply the best.
The GingerMod looks very nice as I want an AOSP interface with samsung framework
Trying WickedRom and I'm pretty happy!
I just ordered an Amaze for $250 and I am pretty stocked, coming from the mytouch 4g. I noticed that a lot of the roms appear to not have data working. Is there a complete ics rom you would recommend to flash for the first rom? Also how is stock ics rom?
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 using xda premium
Stock rooted most stable and is the best rom for this phone imo. ARHD was my favorite deodexed.
If you want mods and a different aosp look.. you can do all that yourself on one of the two above with flashable mods and nova launcher.
Its probably best to read up on all of the ROMs and try them yourself to make your own judgement. This thread will just lead to a few devs shouting out their own roms and their fans following close behind. I know this because this isnt the first time a thread like this has appeared. Im sure u searched before posting though so no worries

I agree with GG
go stock rooted, or ARHD. The phone on ics is pretty darn fast

I've never really had any issues with ARHD and would suggest it.
I cant wait to get this phone. It is miles ahead of the Mytouch 4G yes I will read up and research and ask questions if A) can't find something or more likely don't understand what is being explained. Any gingerbread roms worthy enough to look at?

For ICS, I'd suggest ARHD (as previously posted). However, for Gingerbread, I'd suggest BulletProof. BulletProof is what I was running prior to migrating to ICS.
Thanks everyone I would definitely flash ARHD first that is after I get a feel for stock rom. I also found the the Amazing guide stickied on the dev section to really nice. I hope to see it explode pretty soon
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 using xda premium
I tried most if not all ROMs. If you want ICS I say go with NRGs stock Rom with faux new kernel. Been my daily driver for a few months now except the kernel that just dropped. If your gonna be on GB then I also 2nd Bulletproof.
Patiently waiting for some CM9 or 10. Which looks like we'll probably have by August, September.

Whether you use energy with or without stock look, it is the rom I keep going to.. I never have issues with it. I debloat the hell out of it mind you, I don't leave rosie or any other sense feature, but as far as stability, battery, etc is concerned, it is my default rom of choice, and I have tried them all pretty extensively.
If you get the latest build you have to make sure to increase the minimum clock speed to 384 which just requires two little edits in the init.post_boot.sh file in the system/etc directory.
And despite what GG said, even tho I love him(no homo), I am not a fanboy by any means..
I use hd revolution on sensation and amaze. On amaze, it will give you out of box ui but in back processes, lot of optimization were made.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Used ARHD when I had my amaze 4g and never used anything else, that was when it only had GB though, now that I got a GNex, I'm still using ARHD, one of the best Roms out there, no problems whatsoever, stable, and Mike is an all around great guy who puts much care into his Roms. (Not to say that others don't, I've used so many Roms its unbelievable, just like everyone else, and all devs are AWESOME!!!)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My word isn't really needed at this point, but **** it - Android Revolution HD (ARHD), just like the others have said.
Trewyy
Engery Rom is thee best choice
Energy Rom is the best in my opinion. I tried both clean rom and ADRHD or whatever it is call. I like Energy because it is Stable. Battery life to me is awesome, especially when I use my hotspot, Bluetooth and playing Poweramp plus I do play games and etc... Anyways that what I would recommend. Personally choose whatever fits your needs and do not go based off what we say. Remember the most popular rom for the Amaze may not be the best or work for your phone. Not all phones are created the same.

Thanks for the reply! I've been going through it. I am new to rooting and would want a nice ROM to go hand in hand with my Note. There are so many different ROMS making it very confusing! Is there a consensus on what the 'best' ROM is? Or could you explain to me the benefits of the one you are using and where I can get it? Thanks alot again.
You can get carbon under the Original Development Thread. It has had the least amount of reboots for me but there are many fine 4.2.2 ROMs offered here.
Asking for the "best" can start a flaming thread, since its very much a personal choice.

Ure most likely to get reboots in all 4.2.2 roms n most likely camera issues...until they release an official stable 4.2.2 rom then that'll be the rom u are looking for..to get less reboots I turn profiles off in settings n disable hw hardware layout...try that with any rom see what happens...

Best advice........read read read
As suggested by others look at development. It depends what YOU want or are looking for. Many 4.2 have issues. Mainly reboots. Some flicker in screen.
What i do is find rom that looks interesting in features to me. Then i go to end of thread and read backwards. Lets me know the more recent issues and if there are fixes or tweaks to compensate.
Lots of bells and whistles in 4.2 but sometimes we sacrifice stability.
Your choice........good luck and go slow.

In my own experience the most stable i717 4.2.2 rom is sons of android build 4, all other 4.2.2 roms I've tried where Awful for hot reboots and screen flickering. As always, make sure you do a full wipe before installing anything, happy flashing!

CyanogenMod 10.1.2 has been the smoothest ROM for me, with the best battery life. I use SD-Booster, Autokiller, and Greenify (apps) as well, which give me super speed, super smoothness, and eternal battery life.
Since this change, not a single reboot, screen flicker, or other Android 4.2 issue.
