ICScrew'd VS ICS'd OUT V9 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

For people who have used both which do you think is better?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App

Just try both of them, im on ICScrewed but im about to try ICS'd out today.

I've used both but really don't know if there is a difference. I want peoples opinion. Kinda a poll I suppose. Battle of the ICS themed ROMs
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App

I use ICS'd Out, but they are both quite similar- JKay Mod, TW 4.5, ICS themes. I tried ICScrewed, but I still got the wifi issues, and I'm back on ICS'd Out. One big thing to think about is that for a while there, Task was updating ~every 2 days, which was a fair bit quicker than ICScrewed.

I really don't like ICScrewed because it defaults google music as the default music app. After replacing it with the stock music app, google music no longer installs from the market.
Still need to try out the other ROM.

There is no better choice. Everyone has a different opinion on "best" try them both and decide which you prefer.

[Q] SGS2 Roms

I'm looking forward to the cm7 Rom. Just wondering how there are so many other Roms already released how come the Cyanogen Rom is proving to be so difficult?
I'm not mocking the hacksung guys, I know they are doing a lot of good work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Because the CM build will be very different from the stock samsung ROMS.
A lot of the ROMS available right now are very similar to stock with only a few minor tweaks.
Thats the short and simple answer.
I was thinking that I was just curious.
Hopefully it'll be out soon enough

that depends on the user. seems to be between villain(which comes with villain tweaks), cognitive and litening and a cpl of others that I dont remember offhand..
Then theres the never ending supply of 'Roms' that are basically just themes, with the odd tweak that some other dev created.
I didnt mention cm7 purely because its not released yet.
I'm using Listening at the minute with the tw launcher.
Found adw a bit clunky and I like the Sammy calander widget.
Is the cognition Rom a wipe and flash or can I use odin?

Browser

Hi all, I just got my Galaxy Tab a few days ago (7510) and as much as I love Samsung devices, I simply hate their software. Just as Ive done with every smartphone Ive ever owned, I immediately started searched for as close to stock as I could get.
So I found the NoName vanilla rom, which I love by the way, its pretty much pure Honeycomb as far as I can tell, only the Browser.apk it comes with does not have a Labs section in the settings, and the Chrome bookmarks sync does not work; Google Browser doesnt show up underneath Accounts and Sync.
Ive tried pushing other Browser.apks from other ROMs, and they just dont seem to work. If anyone has an answer for me, Id really appreciate it! I cant live without those thumb controls or my chrome bookmarks!
Flash tasks 3.2 ROM. That's all you need to know.

1. have you tried the Extreme Stock Experience ROM? (i havent but i know it exists)
2. GalaxyTask 6.1 + b00sted's ICS/Jetstream theme is the best experience you will get on your tab... its debloated and has HW acceleration enabled... its the smoothest and fastest... at least give it a try before you shoot it down just because of TW... its more like TaskWiz if you think about it
The custom ROMs that are created on this forum are nothing like what Samsung gives you.
I think the browser of otyer roms dont work directly because of framework changes... Im not sure abt it im not a dev but thats what i know

I too hate Touch Wiz and I've never kept it on my Tab for long because of issues with lag. I've used every stock Honeycomb 3.1 ROM.
I got a GSII Skyrocket and Touch Wiz sorta grew on me, so when the update to 3.2 came around, I decided to try Task's new ROM because In Paris was the best Touch Wiz ROM I had ever experienced.
With Task's latest (v6.1) 3.2 ROM and b00sted's latest (v2.4) ICS theme, I am absolutely blown away.
NO lag, at all. Ever. Period.
Its awesome with the ICS theme and its very refined.
Just try it, you're only a restore away from whatever you're currently running, so there's nothing to lose!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yeah just wait around doing nothing when you could be on task's rom in a matter of minutes and thinking why the hell did I not do this sooner.
you guys exaggerate too much about the way you hate touchwiz
Thanks for all the snarky responses, when my question was a simple one. I've tried Task, not for me. And yes, I realize that it is an undetermined time, Ive had the i9000 since launch so god knows I know what waiting for a Cyanogenmod release is like.

UnNamed, ICScrewed, or SensatioN?

Just out of curiosity, which ROM do you guys prefer?
Its all personal opinion but I prefer unnamed. Battery life is great...which is what I want. Never had a reason to change so I can't speak for other roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Unnamed for the win
Try them all. It's not difficult to flash, Google will load most your apps back anyway on a fresh install, and you won't get a biased opinion.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
UnNamed on Monday, ICSrewD on Tuesday, SensatioN on Wednesday and so on and on. What he said, why not try them all. That's one if the main reason I rooted.

Ive used them all. Id say ICScrewed and Sensation with Siyah kernel over unnamed. Battery life is simular with them all really. MIUI over them all

Used miui (both variances) and now unnamed. Battery life is about the same and is largely depended on kernel. Used siyah for miui and entropy dd for unnamed. The reason for leaving miui was skrewed headset volume. Still monitoring to see if it gets fixed.
They are all awesome other than that.

I've tried both Unnamed and ICScrewed... didn't like the latter. Unnamed caused me some problems though since it flashes the baseband to UCKK6. Caused my wifi to go haywire and resetting every couple minutes. Once I flashed the modem back to UCKH7 things seem to be a bit more stable... so far.
SensatioN because Crysis is the man.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I've literally been on every rom available for the SGH-i777. When I look for the rom that makes me happy, I look for the one with the most complete features. The only one to make me completely happy with battery life and features was UnNamed v2.0+. this rom is always kept in the most stable with almost a next day release if someone complains about anything. That's what I love about this rom. When people were having stability problems with the latest Entropy Kernel they changed it up and downgraded the kernel that very same day! Also, who was the very first rom to feature a working NFC?! GTG is a very friendly guy, ignores you if you dont get around the thread though, but its fine because if you question has been answered, why answer it again? Search next time!!
Anyways. Prior to UnNamed, My favorite was personally GalnetMIUI, official build with Task, the only thing that really kept me away was its instability, such as the screwed up headphone bug, which seems to be in CM7 pretty badly. (WHY HAS NO ONE FIXED THIS?) and the fact that there was no NFC, seems to be lacking features, and a lot of them. With MiLocker, I seem to be happy with UnNamed, I don't run into any problems except a delayed lock screen but meh, Who really locks there phone just to unlock it a second later? Lol.
So seriously, UnNamed 2 for the win !!

WiFi issues are resolved for his and my ROM sir
I ran Unnamed all day yesterday, but I switched back to MIUI. I just think MIUI is more polished than any stock ROM, and has more features that make the phone more enjoyable to use. The battery life has been great, and it's been very stable. Every now and then I get the urge to try something else, but I don't really see a reason to switch.
i put UnNamed on mine first and really liked it but wanted more ICS flavor, so i switched to ICScrewD. really like the jkay app that comes with it. both were very stable for me and didnt have any problems, the only reason i switched was for visuals
I have tried and love all the roms. I finally settled with miui. All the features and menus just flow. It's fast stable had great battery life and has tons of themes to choose from. I might be biased since I ran miui on my captivate and just got used to it. I do change the launcher and run go launcher.

Been on unnamed since day one, but recently switched to ICScrewed, and I'm liking them about the same so far, though I'm warming to ICScrewed.
I do like that ICScrewed has more bloat removed, and I LOVE jkaymod. If you want more customization, try out ICScrewed.

Rom recommendation for Note?

I know its personal preference but can I get some recommendations on roms for the note? Just curious what many people are using and what seems to be the preferred roms....
Thank u!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I'm also curious about finding the best ROM. I currently have a stock Galaxy Nexus, and I love that, so I'm looking for the best ROM for the Note that is as close to Stock Android as possible.
I really want to pick one up, but until there's a Clean, Non-"Samsung-y" ICS ROM, I'm holding off.
Any leads would be Very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Your going to have to wait much longer before anything is released, we dont even have an official release of ICS yet, nor do we have any source code, and after CM gets around to releasing a first release, even longer (probably a month or two) before it is stable enough for daily use.

New to the i777

I came from an Atrix 2 with about 2 months of iOS usage in between. I'm currently stock 4.0.3 rooted with Cherrypicker V 3.1. I was wondering what some people considers to be the better ROM or combination of different mods. I helped a lot and became a senior member from the Atrix 2 thread but I've been gone for a while. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have tried half a dozen or so different roms, and the one that I keep coming back to is Shostock2. His latest release (4.0) is very stable, but it still needs some features added in that were in some of his previous releases. If you are looking for a balance of features, get Shostock2 (3.1.2).

Personally I liked Task's AOKP for some time, but recently flashed CM9 - and probably will stick with it until more stable Jelly Beaner...for stock - ShoStock is my choice
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
You came at a pretty good time. Most ROMs are really stable and Jellybean is just about to hit. What I like to do is play around with different ROMs and see which one I like best. It's what makes Android fun! For a ROM recommendation, I'd have to say SHOstock (if you want that stock TW feel) or task's AOKP (stock Android, plenty of customization)
I know everyone's already said those two but they really are good ROMs. Of course there are other good ones too, so go explore

As myself and Red5 maintain, the best ROM is the one that works for you. It may take a few hours, but give a few a try, and see which YOU like the best.
As the general rule in this board, "vs" threads are no-go, so I am going to close this here (our board was a mess before this rule, with masses of "vs" threads popping up everywhere)...
