I come from another phone development.. help me - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Any
this topic is repeated day after day and gets locked by the mods
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:

Regards,
John.

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

CheckROM ftw!! bundled with either siyah or speedmod you've got yourself a winner

Thank you all!
That was very helpful
btw, I thanked all of you.

I can't come into this train wreck of a thread without asking why you feel the need to have a 600 pixel high signature?

Try FluxMOD best battery life hehehe

[Q] Almost ashamed to ask, but what are the "top" ROM's?

I browsed through the development section and there is SO MUCH STUFF THERE. :/
Even if I read it all I would still not really get a good answer to my question:
What are the most popular, consistently maintained and stable ROM's out there that aren't heavily themed (I like AOSP or close, not MIUI)?
I've used CyanogenMod on my Nexus but it's still in experimental phase for SG2 and I don't really want to start off my new uberphone with broken stuff.
So far from what I've gathered is that Villainrom is at least consistently maintained, but their website is almost devoid of any information in regards to looks and features.
Batista70(?) also sounds like a relatively popular choice?
I realize this sounds like a completely idiotic question from someone that's too lazy to read, but honestly to answer this question you can't just read for a few hours, you need to have been around the community for a longer time to get the feel of everything.

You are correct if you want an honest opinion look yourself try them their are a billion users asking the same question with the same answer their is no best rom .
Why not start with the simplest rom that you understand what's on it and how to flash it .
Then work your way through others .
jje
Atm, i think the best roms (no one over the other, they all good the same)
Batista70 Foxhoud 2.0
Villainrom 3.0
Leomar 2.7
those are the roms i personally tested, and looks like also the most "used" by the community.
Im sorry if i didnt listed someone else rom, it's only because i didnt tested personally.
All the 3 are KI3 (2.3.5) based, so they may have few bugs/instability since 2.3.5 is less than 1 week old.
For the KH3 (2.3.4) every rom is very stable and works fine, i personally tested:
Cognition 1.5.1
Lite'ning 6.1
Checkrom v3
If you want a not perfect (few bugs) but totally different rom, i suggest you to try gangsterjoop Miui 1.9.23 or Galnet Miui 1.9.23

That was actually more a roll of the eyes to this type of question. It gets answers like yours (no offence meant) where people just tell you what they use. Not many people have done extensive testing of every single available ROM, but people still keep asking these lame questions.
Also 'best' is very personal, unless one gives certain criteria.
I agree I'm new here and the selection is daunting. I've HAD,
HTC Tattoo
HTC Desire
ZTE Blade
Moto Defy
HTC HD2
Sony X10
This phones section seems even bigger than the HD2 forum!
Ephumuris
the best rom out there with regarding battery life and looks is..................
the one that will suit your needs and that YOU have to find out and experiment buddy.
its all good for us to tell you which one is good but unless you dont try for yourself you wont know..
but if you want a choice i recommend VillainRom or Batista two that i use back and forth or even CheckRom
but whatever you do make sure you read through each roms thread and take it from there...happy flashing

[Q] What's the BEST rom ?

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

[Q] What is Best ROM & KERNEL FOR I9100?

Dear Bros, MODs, Developers....
I brought new I9100. Im from Sri Lanka. Please help me to Find best Kernel & Rom for my new mobile.... hope you all will help me 2 make my new I9100 Fast.
thanks....
hey mate
im just running the Lite'ning ROM, and i have to say its awsome :O
try it out and you will see!
cheers!
There is no best rom.
each rom has little variations that suit different people.
so the best way is to play around with them and see which one you like.
Personally I would say
Wananm
Litening
Resereuction
roms are great

Personally I'm running Cyanogenmod 9 and it's awesome
Details here
It's based on stock ICS so no Touchwiz overlay. Some people love it but it's not for me.
Best to have a look around the development forums and see which one you like
Why this thread again?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4
Each person has their own great ROM or setup..
for me..
WanamLite ICS LP3 V10.2 Android 4.0.3
SiyahKernel v3.0beta7
the kernel improves the smoothness of ICS amazingly!
There is no such thing as the "best rom & kernel for I9100". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom & kernel that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms & kernels. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom & kernel, and also see other users' experiences with that rom & kernel
Then you can test different roms & kernels for yourself to find one that works best for you.

[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
Cheers

the best rom.

hello to all who wants a read lol..
ok so i find my self in a bit of a situation, the amount of roms what i have flashed to my s3 is unreal.
i find my self keep swapping and changing. but yet i still cant work out witch is the best rom for me.
ok see here is the two best roms witch work for me, obviously you will all have your views lol.
first 1 is the DragonICS_Rebirth_V3.3 for this its smooth battery friendly and i like some of the tweaks in the rom.
2nd for me is IOIDROID supersmoth v3. witch also is very nice and smooth, nice tweaks and so on but this has had some nice tweats witch get me better speeds with my net...
like i say this is just my view and i have flashed a fair few roms but if you have a favorite rom please comment and share with me.
i do appreciate what each and every developer has and is still doing for the famous galaxy S3, (sold 20 mil in 100 day by the way lol)
hope:victory: to hear from you all soooon
Best ROM/kernel threads are forbidden here, even discussing about what ROM/kernel is best, since it's up to one another to try each ROM and make up their own minds about it.
Reported, and this will be banned shortly.
Have a nice weekend.

It's common consensus between the mods and us. Don't know if it's somewhere up for reading, but now you know.
basically it's unfair on devs and Rom creators to set them up against each other in faux competition, if a Rom suits you great....if not then try another. All Roms deserve respect, as do their creators, so it's not really a matter for public discussion in the forums....if you have a problem with a Rom then discuss it in the Rom thread, likewise, if you want to shower praise on a developer, do it in his thread....just a matter of respect and common decency really

Well, there's no best ROM since it's a too personal question. A ROM I like might be one the next guy hates.
