CM7, Rarity, Exynos roms - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am planning to flash one of the three roms here (cm7, rarity, and exynos), but I want to know more in detail about those roms.
I am open to be persuaded. Please inform me

I just flashed Exynos Extreme rom last night. So far, it's been quite fast and decent. It sticks with the default touchwiz launcher so if you're not a fan of it, you can change it but so far I'm having no problems with it. But this is the first rom I flashed so I'm not really an expert on the other roms. I wanted to try CM7 but there's only a release candidate, so far no stable release as of yet.

Best ROM for everyday use?

Hi..Its maybe a repost but I'm starting this thread because lots of things changed into these ROMs since the old post.
So which ROM would you reccomend for everyday use?
I personally like CM a lot. But as its not stable yet I can't reccomend it yet.
Other than I like Aura & The Darkside ROM. Which one will you prefer actually?

I have been using CM7 for atleast two months now. FYI its quite stable with the newest Ba2tf build.

Agreed with CM7. The newer builds are rock solid.
The CM Weekly w FP is working great for me, really good battery life too.

CM7 and darkside. But, SamCripp is coming out with an update to his ninja Rom in the coming days...... hopefully. He said that in a post in his thread about it coming out. I personally am trying that again when it comes out.

[Q] Most Stable Rom

I am looking for the current most stable rom for the SGH-i777 with minimal amount of known issues. Any suggestions? I'm currently on CM7.1 but it keeps on freezing on me so that gets to be a deal breaker.
AOKP! And cm9 are both stable.

Have to say I was on Unnamed 2.2.1 for some time and don't think I ever had any real problems. Tinkering with others for the heck of it now.
Been on Binnacle beta 7 for a couple weeks now....pretty darn good too.

Thanks Ill take a look at unnamed. Does it by any chance support NFC? I know the i777 comes with and NFC chip but CM7 doesn't play nice with it.
I've had good luck for a while using CM7.2 RC1 but more recently have been very happy using the nightlies for CM9.
+1 on UnNamed 2.2.1. I used that one for several months with no issues at all. Though I've heard some people had wifi issues.
I'm now on Mystic's Pride, an ICS rom in the Ported Development forum. I've been on it for a week now with no problems at all.
Your best bet is to try roms for yourself and see which ones work for you. That's what I do.
For example, I tried shostock2 for a few days, it ran smooth, battery was great, but I could not get used to the Apex launcher. So I moved on to another rom.
Thanks for all your replies. I decided to flash UnNamed and im just in love with it. I might eventually try an ICS rom but for now im perfectly happy with Unnamed
If you're interested in ICS, give shostock a try. I've been running it since rc5 and it's very smooth and stable.
If you're interested in trying other gingerbread ROMs, I got the best battery life and stability on shostock 1.9.4. If there were any apps that I missed from UnNamed, I just pulled them from the .zip using root explorer. The only reason I left it was to try out ICS. Glad you're enjoying the phone so far.
How about try them all and see which one is stable for you?
I'm not meaning to revive a dead topic here, but has anyone found a good stable samsung based ROM vs. AOSP?

This is essentially a best thread. It will be closed soon. Try them out for yourself and see

There is no BEST and yet they are all the BEST. Members are expected to research and read through the development threads before altering their device. The only thing you will get here is a list of all the ROM's because every member has found what is best for them. You can get the same list by looking at the first few pages in development.

Most stable rom?

Hi all,
My cousins atrix has started playing up (keyboard crashes, browser force closes etc) and ive advised that he change roms. Ive been looking though this forum for the past hour or so and am surprised to see so many roms - you guys have so much choice! (Ive got an optimus black and weve got maybe about 4 roms which is nothing compared to you guys!)
Anyway my cousin is a bit of a noob so I dont want to install a rom that will cause problems. Which rom should I install on his atrix please?
Thanks
The most recent releases of CM7, including CM7.2 RC1 and the most current nightly releases, have been pretty stable for me. I couldn't tell you about the non-CM7 ROMs (i.e. the ones based on the stock Atrix ROM) as I haven't used one for quite a while. There are several so-called CM9 ROMs out (based on ICS), but IMHO they aren't stable enough if you rely heavily on your phone, though they are getting there.

Im using joker's cm9. Its actually stable enough to be used as a daily driver. Yes the rom is in beta so there are bugs like video recording/playback, multitouch and small probs here and there due to missing ics drivers.

Wouldn't really consider that stable. Stable to me means everything works. Nottachtrix for stock look, and CM7 for AOSP

I agree - If your cousin doesn't need the fingerprint reader or webtop go with CM7 for now till the devs get the issues worked out on CM9.
Another vote for CM7. Its absolutely rock solid, and the weekly builds have fingerprint scanner support. CM9 is pretty good, but as has been mentioned its missing a few features and does have a few bugs that prevent some from being able to use it as a daily driver.
CM7 RC1 is where it's at now, no issues whatsoever for me.
Anyone know what is the progress of webtop on CM7 or 9?
Instead of CM7, I'd reccomend Neutrino. Install GO Launcher EX, ICS theme for the launcher and system and you've got yourself the best GB ROM with ICS-look.

Useless things such as TTS, VPN and Languages have been removed to make the ROM smaller. You just gotta flash a few more tiny .zip's...
Neutrino is better than CM7 at the base level. I reccomend you flash Neutrino GT+ version and under/overclock the CPU according to your needs.
Sent from my Neutrino-loaded ATRIX
+1 ╰☆╮Neutrino ROM V2.6╰☆╮ ....it is the best for battery and performance in my view....if you need the blur (webtop)... all three of Nottach roms are great although he supports only NottachTrix4G....
+1 for CM7.
I'd recommend you CM7 with faux kernel.

I found myself flashing around 20 add-ons to get the phone to work properly.
For a first time custom rom flash I'd go with Nottachtrix, very stable and Aroma Installer makes it very easy to customize to your liking.

I flash ROMs like crazy and I have to say Neutrino is by far the greatest rom! So what if you have to flash a few zips....thats how he made such an amazing rom...He stripped it down to the basics and you add the stuff that you want. I use the GT version but underclock to 1.00GHz most of the time...Saves battery but if I need the power, its available to me. 2.7 is out now....it has a wifi bug on the GT and GT+ versions though. You have to reflash faux's kernal to fix. Otherwise just use EE version. Its plenty fast enough without overclock.

What's the most stable rom right now? [4/21/2012]

I'm on stock unrooted and I just want a rooted, hassle-free experience. So which rom right now has the least known complications? Just a quick look at the development section makes me think it might be the Unofficial Rom.
Any recommendations?
I'm pretty happy with the alpha 2 from DAGr8. His third version gave me too many problems. The other roms' forums seem full of problems with the store or messages...I guess just try a few. If you nandroid where you are now switch back shouldn't be too hard

There aren't many at the moment. I would suggest staying stock with some tweaks until our phone becomes more widespread(it's still new)
I just flashed theunofficial and so far it hasn't given me any problems.

I would give unofficial a try. It is by far the most stable custom rom I have ever used. It has never frozen, given me FCs, or had weird random issues. So basically it works flawlessly and this is the first custom rom I can honestly say that about.

I have used unofficial and it is good as well but if you want ICS not Gingerbread alpha2 is the way to go in my opinion.

I have flashed all the roms and i keep coming back to Saurom 7.1 I do like the unofficial as well. You have to at least try 2 of them to test around with because really comes down to personal preference when many roms become stable.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I also must jump on the Unofficial bandwagon as it is "very" stable. I was on Solaris for a while but it seems to be out of the picture for now. But if you want a hassle-free experience, go for the Unofficial.
Another for "The Unofficial". Great ROM, very stable and smooth.
Dag_8 Alpha II is the best ICS out so far. It's currently my daily driver.
Alpha III caused SMS issues and other FCs.
If playing4sheezy comes out with Beta 2 for NOTEWorthy then I'll be switching to it, because it is the smoothest, cleanest, ICS out yet...
A Question
I have a question for the folks using alpha II, what do you like about it over Alpha I? I keep comming back to Alpha I because it is the most stable for me.
Cheers

What's your favorite STABLE rom?

So I need a stable rom cuz this is my only phone and I use it for work. I just started flashing roms. So far I've only tried Th3Bill's CNA, 2.3.5 Hybrid, and CM7. I liked all of them, but I ended up going back to Homebase for its stability and battery life. I really like CM7 for its simplicity and pure Google. What is the best stable CM7 rom and where can I find it? Links? Love to hear your opinions in other roms too. I love the support we're getting now on this phone. Thanks devs!
