If you can't even find a ROM thread, you shouldn't for a moment consider flashing it if someone actually does link you to it (which I really hope they don't).
This is a development site, not a <insert some witty insult here> site.

I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

1. there's no exact answer to which rom or kernel gives the best batt life. u should actually test them to see which fits your preference. there are also threads here which does benchmarkings and testing out batt life. try searching for them.
2. when u install a custom rom, it will say on their thread on what baseband version they based their rom. for example, LeoMar's ROM is based on KH3, etc. the rom chooses it for you basically.
3. the latest is 2.3.4, and almost all custom ROMs are based on 2.3.4. no need to flash anything extra
Ok so do I actually have to find a XXKG2 or MUGKG2 based ROM or I can take anything? And from personal experience which one do you think is the best one?
you can actually take in anything (at least your phone's getting an updated baseband version thru the custom roms).
i'm not quite sure how the different versions of the baseband affects my phone. i don't notice any difference in performance actually.
Aight!!! Thanks man. Which one do you recommend?
you can try using the dlev2 rom version 1.2 , its indeed great and also has good battery life

cognition or litening rom can be good choices to start with.
leomar rom gives a lot of customization options because it has a kitchen app on the android market.
My recommendation is that you read some more, get comfortable before you flash anything on your device, know what you are about to get into instead of going on someone else's opinion, the questions you ask are of someone who doesn't fully understand what they are about to do.
It helps when you read a lot, you are able to think your own way through if something doesn't go exactly as planed, else you would have to come right back here to ask a million questions
you can find official firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
as a few posts above i agree what that person said..do a bit more reading before you start flashing. i can remember the time when i wanted to start flashing and rooting and when i did not back up the stock rom the first time i panicked and i did not know what to do and how to get back the stock rom...funny now but back then not so funny..
anyway research play with your stock rom for a while and then flash...for custom rom i would suggest a few...Im using BatistaRom 3.7.7 its the smoothest fastest and battery efficient rom i have used so far...even when i go and try other roms i always come back to this one. For battery as well VillainRom 2.4.2 is one heck of a custom rom and the battery life on that bad boy is wicked..
With regarding kernels again it varies...read the threads of the rom you are interested in flashing and see what people suggest on them..
good luck and be careful when rooting and flashing. any help you need throw me a PM..
Yeah, there are like tons of ROMs and customizations for SGS2 and all major developers are cooking something or the other for our GS2...
Selection of ROM depends only on taste. Some people wants battery life, some people wants only speed and performance. So ask yourself, what kinda ROM you need. One built from scratch, one modded from stock, AOSP?
I use GingerMod Vanilla 0.4. Suits my taste
I have rooted my GS2, and wondering what the best ROM is?
I get the impression that Cyanogen 7 is best by general opinion. Is there any others which I have overlooked?
Thankyou
Gettin' impatient!! any one??? (waiting to load ROM right away)
if you want an answer...use the search button...thats what its there for..
but anyway use either BatistaRom or Androidmeda..
Oh, another one...
Yes, cynagogen is the bestest. I use it many times and ist gut.
it depends on what you want if you want true android experience than you should go for cyanogen mod or if you like TW than go for OMEGA ROM
CM7 for AOSP or for TW based, I would say touch x power, villian, or leomar's.
Best ROM threads are subjective..........
Best thing to do is take your time to read ROM threads and make a backup of ROM using then flash away find what ROM/Radio suits you best.
On that note thread closed.
Hey Guys i got my Desire X today and its a great device just loved it . So update me with the development ongoing . First i want to root my DX so found an easy article instead of the hason2000 toolkit here it is http://bit.ly/SgMpSf
So, has anyone tried this and what about CWM, Kernel, Rom progress...update me with everything guys i hav no idea whats going on around. Thnks
Well the toolkit works( great job hasoon) CWM is a bit buggy but works too. There's a full sense ROM by The Android Manual, no download link yet, and there's a CyanogenMod 9 port by Lloir, also a great job.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda premium
Uhm, let's put things into perspective : there's a cwm recovery image that works, but no ROM's that pass muster. The CM9 that loirr did is a very first test-build, that's waiting to be picked up by someone with a Desire X to fully develop, test and fix, and the other one, a full sense stock rom by Android Manual, that isn't available for download.
In short : there's no custom ROMs at the moment.
Hello to all im not a newby i just can,t find the time to post i know i should though.
I installed the Jedi X-11 and this is a great custom rom,
But here is the problem the (Boot Animation) and (Font) from the main manue do not work, Everytime i click it i get a force close on both.
Im wondering if theres a fix for that im sure i did everything right the rom runs smooth and fast.
Other than that this rom Rocks.
So please the developers of the jedi series i hope you read this and address the problem i would love this rom to be fully operational. get it (Fully Operational) lol.
I,ve been Rooting and unlocking phones since Android decided to revamp their OS.
Greetings, fellow modders
I'm looking for a MIUI v5 ROM to flash onto my gf's S3 (it's the international version and on 4.1.1 stock firmware). She's bored with TouchWiz and I think she would enjoy MIUI because of the superior and far better looking UI.
Is there a particular ROM you would recommend? I'd go for the official one since it' built from source, but I see many reports of a "sudden death bug", could someone tell me what it is (does th phone simply lock-up or reboot?)?
I'm not a fan of ported ROMs and those with a bazillion tweaks added, but if you'd suggest one as the best choice, I'd be willing to give a shot
(I'm on the xda app and I couldn't find an S3 Q&A sub-forum, sorry for missing it if there is one :/ )
there are not so many MIUI roms for Galaxys3, hence u should try them yourself and make ur own opinion.
:highfive:
You need to reset your XDA app it should show the Q&A forum .
What rom best rom posts are not allowed anyway .
Thread closed as its a best ROM thread.
