You could try search >> best roms

Person next to me would not be impressed by such .
We have rom development section if you cannot read and understand the details for individual roms dont flash stick with stock .

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

Thank you all!
That was very helpful

Hello,
I am sorry for a question which may seem simple but I never really noticed it getting mentioned.
My Galaxy ace was rooted then ages later I installed an the 2.3 update on my phone with Odin as it hadn't been released in the UK at the time (May even still be the case).
I have since installed CWM5 and CyanogenMod (yesterday in fact), now I am fairly sure the answer is yes but would like to confirm if I am correct.
Does the phone remain rooted after ROMs are installed etc.?
I am a huge fan of the CyanogenMod and would strongly suggest it to any one with an Ace that like my self was always on the verge of installing a custom ROM but always chickened out. It is extremely fast.
I only have one or two issues that I don't know if it is the ROM or my phone which are; screen no longer lights up just buttons when I receive a notification and if I am on Wifi the button back light randomly lights up - I think I saw some one else mentioning they had this issue, just wondering if anyone knows if it is the ROM and I can simply wait till there is an upgrade from the Cyanogenmod peeps or if it is my phone being an arse and I should maybe rock my phone back to stock and do it all again.
Sorry if I have not posted this in a manor this forum desires but still trying to get my head around where to post what in this rather huge forum.
Also,
First post so will also say Hello.... Hello....
Thanks in advance for any replies.
p.s.
Third attempt to do the damn image verification haha
Hello ~
First, it depends on the rom. Custom roms are usually rooted. So,the answer is yes.
Second, there are bugs in custom rom. You can choose some rom with less bug or stock rom.
Sorry for my bad english
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
if installing/flashing stock rom, it'll be unrooted automatically even if its rooted before.
if installing/flashing custom roms, yes it'll stay rooted because custom rom mostly include root.
the problem u having might caused by custom roms/kernel, try experiments with different roms/kernel and see if its gone.

Firstly, please do not apologise for your "bad English" - You have taken the time to learn English and I bet I cannot say a word in your language - so I thank you for taking the time to answer my question in a language which is foreign to you. Props to all those on this forum that do that.
Now back to the topic! hehe
Yes sorry I should of been more specific about what ROM I am rolling, it is this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543521) I thought due to the amount of response it had it would of been a very popular one among the Ace community and was hoping some people may have had some insight into my issues.
And thank you for clearing up my confusion about the root
And while writing this I saw the post by an0nym0us so I shall reply to him as well in here
Thank you for that extra detailing when it comes to the rooting, that is the exact information I required.
Is their a ROM which is a "must" for an ace user to try out? I am being rather adventurous now haha My first taste of a good custom ROM has got me wanting to find more which either more stability or just improvements on other good ROMs
Thank you all for replies.
1. Flashing custom roms will not unroot for phone flashing stock roms willl
2. Yes that lighting-of-backlit-buttons is a standard issue on cm7
3. Welcome to XDA
4. Before you post in development section please read the stickies(if u r on xda app) or the first 3-4 threads in general section (if viewing via browser)
5. Cm7 is awesome complaining about small issues will b neglecting the awesome features cm7 gives to your phone
6. Read the forum rules carefully and slowly or you may fall in trouble.
7. Always google for questions first b4 posting in forums ( i m sure your questions would have been answered by googling)
8. Best of luck
sent from my SGA powered by the best rom ever --CM 7.2 by the late F.A.T. ( I ll miss u F.A.T )
Yes I am sorry I had to ask questions that may well of been answered in detail with a google but I kept finding conflicting arguments about it so I thought best thing to do would be go to the most representable forum in the field and ease the pain of which was my question once and for all
And don't get me wrong, I was not complaining about the ROM I love it Just wanted to know if it was the ROM or me doing something that was causing the issues. If it was me - I would do it again if it is the ROM who cares - I know it will get fixed at some point
And thank you for the welcome post didn't get chance to check the rules correctly as I was at work when I registered and posted the first post haha Limited time while manager wasn't behind me hehe
I really like how you guys do not limit guests so they cannot see the development posts, that is really nice of the site. I was able to install the ROM etc, following instructions and links without being nagged to register and that alone made me want to register
Welcome to the forum. Word of warning - if you come accross a program called Rom Manager please leave it alone. Most people on here would agree that you can recover your phone from all kinds of mistakes made while flashing new exciting roms, best method - make a backup, but using Rom Manager may damage your phone irreversably.
Yeah I have heard about it all over the forum. Does it work well in any instance?

May work beautifully with some mobiles only have Ace and like you read the warnings onhere and elsewhere re Ace. Just amazes me how many use it 1st then come here to ask "What happened to my phone". You are definately off on the right foot by getting info here 1st. GL
By the way don't be surprised if all your posts disappear - getting to 10 is not this easy I know.

And another one, don't ask for questions like the best rom or the best something you'll seriously be hated
Welcome to the family!
Anyway, flashing a custom rom will not take away your root. (I think they are already pre-rooted)

Yes I saw a full post about not asking for best rom.
Only thing I have asked for is a suggestion a "Must" try ROM as in a Rom that everyone should experience once So far it seems that Rom is the Cyanogen Rom I am currently running While I love so much.
Also, I am very very impressed with the XDA Android app!
Once I get to 10 posts I have a few inputs I am looking forward to getting into the development posts
Most rom's come pre rooted in order to function

[Removed question]
After a user gave me a rather unhelpful and rather horrid way to reply to this question I simply removed it to avoid that sort of response.
I love XDA and I respect the mods, but I think the ban on "which is the best ROM" threads is horsesh**t.
Members should be allowed to ask silly questions, especially in general. And I, for one, don't think there is a problem with most "which rom is best" threads. I say "most" because I do agree that some contributors to those threads don't cite specific reasons as to why one rom is better than another. They just post stuff like "GINGERBLURB IS KING." I hate that, but for every one of those posts, there are two or three from people who cite specific reasons why they prefer a rom.
Yes, it'd be nice to try out every rom for myself, but I can't. Just like I can't taste every food out there. For the most part, I have to depend on word of mouth and reviews. That's reality.
But SCREW all of these reasons. The WORST part of this ban is something that has been happening little by little in rom development threads. More and more, members are becoming ruder and ruder to developers in the threads, asking "WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR ROM" and "WHAT DID YOU SPECIFICALLY CONTRIBUTE ASIDE FROM THESE TWEAKS". And developers are being hassled with replying to those posts, instead of developing. Yes, this has always happened, but it's gotten worse. And my guess is that it has to do with users not being able to ask the simple question of "Which rom is best" or "Why is this rom any good?"
These are questions that only other users can answer.
Unless the silly ban is lifted or there is the creation of a new forum titled "Extra Stupid General Discussion," this problem is going to worsen.
look this topic has arised again.... i am not offefnding... let me give a simple explanation... roms are not foods.... and at the moment there are nt so much varitety of rom(compared to foods) that you can not ttry them all .... you eat food daily... try out roms every weeks or so... you have your backed up data :cyclops:
now for the reason of the ban..
people develop.. people mod and release roms... we spent day and nights to give out somethin new... and somethin nice... the best we can do.... after all our hardwork... when some1 says that this/that rom sucks or is not good enough..... hw will the maker of the rom feel?
have you ever thought about that....?
and while releasing roms ... the makers.. give the detail what all is in the rom..... along with screen shots... that info is more then enough to understand what is in the rom.. !!!
i am not offending any1 or neither you... this is the reason behind it.... i was before also said not to explain all this.... but still iwould like to make this alot clear... so ppl understand...
i hope ppl dnt criticize anymore about any rom... :good: :fingers-crossed:
Agree with person above
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I agree with wktra!!
Since we cant stop each and every person all the time.. lets make one sticky thread including a poll in General Section. Atleast every new member can see and understand which rom is good for him and which is the most recommended Rom in the forum.
This way.. noobs wont make new threads asking about the best Roms.
This should be implemented in every forum.. even senior members are sometimes new to some Forum.. and wants to know which rom is the most popular there.
you still dont get it do you.. ? ... pls think about what has been said.... rather posting negative comments about some1's certain rom... :fingers-crossed:
I appreciate the developers time and effort however if I want a ROM that has TV out enabled and your ROM doesn't have that then I dont want to use your ROM. Its not a bad ROM your not a bad developer. It just doesn't fit my needs at the time.
Its not OK to write things like such and such ROM sucks. But saying one is the best shouldn't be discouraging. Esp if reasons are given. Ie lags theme chooser partition layout ram settings whatever it might be.
If you can back up your statement with facts I dont see how anyone can be offended
Sent from my thingy for stuff
Every ROM is different from a person to another... for example, I am more the type of oxygen user... I prefer simplicity... however, I use gingerDX (which no user will suggest because it isn't so popular, but really good and much more stable than "stable" official CM7)
So why ruin some work of a small developer by only using what everyone else uses? (This is an analogy with video games next)
If you ask someone what game you should play, they will say "diablo 3, of course"(which will make you pay the game + tons of other money because it is pay to win) but no one will tell you "path of exile" which is a small NZL company who did an awesome game...
Another analogy would be me playing WoW... I love archer, but in WoW I have a warlock... and since wow has no "archer/ranger/bowman style/blahblah with a bow" class, I wanted a warlock, cuz I love how warlock sounds and since then I only play summoner classes in all games (the kind with a minion following you)

I think that we should have dedicated threads where there is a discussion about ROMs and the pros/cons and stability for each one. Users should be able to have a dedicated place where it's nothing but discussion about why they like certain ROMs and why they don't.
I own an Optimus V and I am on a port of GTR, which I love. I didn't like BACKside, not because it was a bad ROM, but because I always had bad luck with md5 verification for it, and such.
I don't want developers to feel bad, but I do want users to be informed of the characteristics of each ROM in one, easy place.

Agree with the 2nd post too much of spamming and less chance for devs to improve themselves coz only popular ROMs will top the charts and everybody will use it.
So this way is better.Every ROM get a chance.
Plus I think u should spend sometime reading the ROM threads to get an idea about it.There are enough information about it in them.
Sent from my LG-P500 running Ginger Snap
The truth is that there is no such best ROM, because what others prefer might not be your choice, the idea for the sticky post is good, we can put our observations there and conclude the best ROM(s) in various categories like gaming, daily use, eye candy, bugfee (Stock ROMs) :silly: this will reduce newbies making useless threads in general section..
There is no best rom. We should try out the roms first and see what suits us. It also apply to food. And i always say no pain no gain.

i hope everybody understands.. :fingers-crossed::good:
Its wrong to insult someone's work. But to continue your own analogy. The teacher has a set criteria for grading your project that was provided to you. No one provides what is needed for a rom , you make it you decide what you want to put into it. If it doesn't meet the criteria that I need im not going to use your ROM and I dont think its wrong for me to write about my experience with it.

sweetnsour has made a thread dedicated to discussions about which rom is better for you.
General Discussion
The roms aren't very updated as of now, but if you would PM or post in the thread, he will do it.
Just to be clear here. I am trying to learn. I finally got a dedicated machine for Linux and am trying to repo all the files I need.
However if your ROM doesn't suit my needs. I won't use it. And I stick by that its OK for me to say so.

You are getting everything here for FREE !!
You are not paying devs so stop complaining. If you dont like some roms.. wipe everything and DELETE that rom.. try another.. BUT dont complain or even express your dislikes . Because indirectly discouraging him. Instead.. you can appreciate his/her work by pay or words and suggest them to add other features AS PER YOUR NEED.
Remember someone is lending his / her things to you for free. You cant tell them even if you dont like it!!
First of all, I need to thank for all the ROM makers.
I'm a rookie of 9300... I want to flash a perfect ROM... So far I've tried Revolution HD, Omega and some other ROMs... Each of them has its advantage. Well, I haven't tried 411 ROMs. All I flashed are 404 ROMs. I just want a stable, smooth and battery friendly ROM.
I want to hear your advice. Which 404 ROM do you like best? And how about 411?
There are too many excellent ROMs!!! I just can't make the decision...
These kind of posts are not allowed on xda.
The best ROM is subjective.
Read through the OP of ROM threads and make your decision that way.

You misunderstood me, bro. I just want some suggestions. I know there's no best ROM. All of them are excellent. I asked which do you LIKE best, not which IS the best.
I admit there was something unclear, or something wrong in my post. I changed it a little. Anyway, I mean no harm.
Every GS3 phone is not 100% same. Two people with same rom may not have same user experience. Keep flashing until you found the one you like most.
Happy flashing
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I don't think the OP asked for 'the' best ROM, he said, "I want to hear your advice. Which 404 ROM do you like best? And how about 411?" Seems to me that has opinion built in, not calling for some kind of judgement as to what is the only 'best' one.
@owensnoopy - Start with what you want from your phone. Use the ROM threads to work out what things are being altered or removed or added and see if you want those things or not.
Have a back-out plan - if the ROM you install isn't what you want, what is your fallback ROM? So far I have made sure I've got the stock version of the custom one I am flashing - my fallback is to that rather than going back to something I've already decided I want an improvement on...
I just flashed the 4.1.1 leak from Sammobile - seems to be performing well so far and my backups restored and (so far) haven't had the weird **** I saw with a couple of the custom ROMs I tried. I'm using Slaphead20's linked spreadsheet to work out what I want to remove. Once I have it how I want I'll save it out and tr4y some of the others coming in - DLI5 is leaked and will have custom ROMs based on it soon.
From Sammobile...
We of SamMobile would like to give you the latest I9300XXDLI5 Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean Test firmware for the Galaxy S III. I9300XXDLI5 is the most stable leak EVER. Almost all issues from the previous TEST builds have been fixed and we are very happy with this build.
This build is very much near perfect so we believe that Samsung will actually start rolling out the Official Jelly Bean update for the Samsung Galaxy S III very soon. The day Samsung starts to roll out the official update you will be able to install the latest update through Kies or OTA update. We are getting leaks almost everyday so we believe that the final Official Jelly Bean update will be released in the next week.

I think the only way to have your 'perfect' ROM is to install something close to what you want and mod it for your own use.

I really like Wanam v2.3... It's smooth and battery friendly. You could also try different combinations of rom and kernel, that is one of the greatest things of android.
I'm addicted to flash right now! Just try!
OP, I understand you are just trying to get input, but opinions will vary, and so will how the rom runs on a particular phone. This will only cause problems here, so before it does I'm going to close this. Please try them out for yourself. :good:
Hi all
I have an I9100 and I would like to change the ROM with a cooked one, this my first time
I just want to go on with Open Source and faster operating system without all the Google and Samsung Apps
I will go on with the Gmail account but a little bit lighter
I'm not sure about wich ROM to choose
Can you please just indicate me a general ROM?
Thank you very much in advcance for reply to this newbie question

Gaston,why would be this thread closed?He asked what ROM to use as a base,not which is the best.He asked about Sammy based,Cm based,AOKP based ROMs.(These are the most common ROM bases).
hey mate first of all i wanna say to you welcome to our community
and second one :
we have a lot of custom roms that you can try like :
- NeatROM
- wanamlite
- CSR
- AND etc.
These are based on stock roms from Sammy
- ParanoidAndroid
- Rootbox
- ThinkingBridge
- And few others you have just to look for the one that looks good for you
Oh and this ones are based on pure android from Google
And next time please look at few roms before posting threads like this
Have a G'day
Because people will moan at the littlest thing on here and talk to there mate the mod and have it closed. Don't you see this ALL THE TIME on here. We do. And no he didn't ask about stock cm aokp based roms he asked about cooked roms. Gas Ent being funny he just knows what will happen to this thread :thumbup:

if I were to ask you for a ROM I should try, you really think you would suggest me other than your ROM of choice?
What ROM are you on?
Why are you on that?
Who suggested you to try it?
Don't mind answering, i'm just gonna say it sucks.
I don't like custom, so here's my biased opinion.
Bias opinion are against xda rules; last time I checked we were free to choose what WE like NOT what OTHERS say.
If the OP wants to know where to kick off he needs to go to development forum and check ROMs out.
