Advice on new stable rom - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running Trigger 3.2 Final but recently my text messages havent been coming through. Ill get some and well some dont make it to my inbox. All I get is a notification for one. Is there a fix for this issue or should I try a different rom? If so, any suggestions on another steady rom?
Id appreciate any help from you guys.

bionix 1.3.1 (fishmanmod final2) is IMHO the best froyo ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441976
It's stable, stable and more stable and has great battery life.
If you want to try an ICS ROM, I'd recommend Team Passion's Euphoria ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503769
It's very smooth, battery life is excellent for me.
Be sure to visit their facebook group for the latest updates, and be sure to flash the latest kernel, currently V2.2 I believe.

i had the same problem using trigger 3.2 and eventually upgraded to Passion V13. and about the try Euphoria myself. if you want a unique/ customizable/ try Ecstacy. (im a big fan of ICS) but your choice on MIUI/ CM9/ or AOKP

Thanks guys. I appreciate you guys taking the time to reply to my thread. I will look into these roms and see how it goes.

Absolutely agree with this, I tried a lot of ROMs and this appealed to me the most.

+ 1, plus euphoria is going to be updated soon and the testers that have their hands on the update are saying that it's even better than the current one which is pretty good in my opinion.
powered by ICS Euphoria

Why not try out the rom created by the maker of trigger, AOKP or try out br1ck'd s rom ICZen which is very close to aokp with some hacks to make it run better, Euphoria is AOKP reskinned and modded by NEO and Nelson.
Personally im bouncing between AOKP official and ICZen i was on Euphoria for a while but ive since jumped ship to the aforementioned roms, links in my sig.

Clean Gingerbread Rom for Hero?

Hi, I was just wondering if there was a clean Gingerbread rom for Hero. One that would technically just be the Stock Gingerbread, without any visual modifications.
Other modifications wouldn't bother me, though I'd like to have a fresh rom to customize myself.
Thanks.
You may try Elelinux Gingerbread ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932377
it is quiet stable for daily use, customized but you still can get the stock feel in a theme included in that ROM

There is also a script for that ROM to clean out a lot of stuff and make it as light and standard as can be. Just scroll down the first post to get the script.
Cronos is quite stockish as well. CM is an option too.
i like the elelinux GB rom best fast stable and clean wit the lite version script

[Q] Custom ROMS vs Stock

Do all Custom ROMS for all the positive features they may bring always result in less stabililty than a Stock ROM?
I imagine CM7 to be the best....seeing as he works for Samsung also. I certainly found it the best when I had the I9000/Galaxy. However looking at the CyanogenMod forum there are plenty of people raising issues with the builds (including 'stable' builds).
I really enjoy trying different ROMS usually but I am deliberately sticking with a rooted stock at the moment - and it has never froze, crashed or rebooted itself yet! I do miss fiddling with my phone though!
Thoughts/opinions appreciated.
Thanks
criskelo 31 + latest siayh - no problemo )))
Yes.
(10 char)
If you want a stable rom, then use the one in my sig. Oxygen is amongst the most stable roms that are out here. It's almost bugfree, because the creater of the rom, Adam G is a perfectionist.
You have no touchwhizz, just stock android that works. If you are looking for a shiny rom, then this one is not for you. If you want a stable rom and an almost bug free rom, then this one is for you.
ps you won't find this rom on xda, because he does not want that anymore.
Samsung Galaxy SII
try this combination...
*CheckROM Revolution HD v3.1.1 (fast and lite)
*Speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-18-test8-CWM.zip (best battery life)

I don't know if you can say that. It has some coding from CM, drivers etc. But it is supposed to be a stock android rom, the way google intended it, with (almost) no CM stuff.

Good, good. Poll showed up. CM9 all the way.
Who uses ICS? That's what I voted, currently happy with GB and Verts beautiful theme. Will wait for a more stable/official release before moving to ICS. My setup is stable and works like a charm.
I also use GB, but i did use airbus 360s rom wen i did run ics, so i voted for other ics rom.
andyx rom ...... just awesome.
Have been using REMIX but am considering CM9 seeing the current results!
Every andyx rom since 3.0. I hope noone ever has to look at my flash counter!
CM9.
I have found the battery life, performance,and overall stability astonishing.
Outstanding work from the team.

No option for stock ICS on your poll.
Stock LPB is the best ICS ROM yet for the sgs2

I am on Remix using Aus i9100t. I am a fairly heavy user and have always run custom roms. Remix is a nice rom, but not quite ready for daily use in my circumstance. Its only little issues like random lags on dialing and answering plus USB storage via PC not working (mtp OK but slow). Apart from that, fast and fluid. I want to try another but I hate configuring after wipes!!

Andy and Simlistics are the same
Only the signal/batt bar is different..
Andy is using Simplistics rom..
Pure ICS is my personal fav, comes across as a very good ICS rom based on Samsung ROM, but skinned nearly 100% like CM9
Fast simple, and stable.
now using Deep Core ICS rom , but will try AndyX rom lately

Getting started with installing custom ROM

Hello everyone,
I have recently rooted my SGS2
using CF root.
Replace the Stock kernal with siyah 4.1.5
Then currently i am on stock ROM
slimICS.
HOw to keep the thread alive....
share your experience of Custom ROM which you are using.
Pros and Cons of the ROM...
Report any Bug..
We can then submit the issue to corresponding Thread or developer..
It is really your choice when it comes to deciding on a ROM.
A few things to consider, the JB 4.1.1 ROMs are available but not stable yet. So if you want to try the latest and greatest and don't mind the odd crash and random reboot it allows you the opportunity to report back your findings and assist in that way with development.
If stability is your concern, then you certainly want to go with an ICS ROM. CM9 is pretty stable as a recommendation.
As you mentioned earlier you could also dual boot to experience both. Just a few pros and cons for you to help in decision.
Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

I booted RR 2.7 ICS version on 2 nd ROM
and after 2 hours booted 3.8 RR JB version..
is it safe to flash ROMs too fast??
I mean back to back??
Theres no limit to the number of ROMs you flash in a day
Only make sure your battery is above 60% atleast before you flash a ROM, or anything for that matter.

Hey Manubr,
few dayz back i was also having the same question
should i try JB too ??..
ok so here is the answer.
JB ROMs are not stable since it has some memory leak issue.
It wil not be resolved till Samsung officially launch JB for SGS2.(will have to wait for stable version)
But CM10 team is trying to resolve infact minimize the issue and get the best JB ROM...
you can check there 30 sep nightly build...
Which i have installed it...
I m having SlimICS ROM1
and CM10 ROM 2..

Yes, try OptiMax2 with sirkays kernel (im on vdsirotkin kernel, battery is more important to me)
Very fast (4300 antutu benchmark 1.4 ghz overclocked), very stable and stylish.

I need mine working 100% these days as I use it for work - I just went for stock .587, rooted and ripped all the bloatware out, and it's ready to go 100% stable. Not exactly adventurous... but it works really nicely.
Sure, latest stock is well polished and stable.
But Sony doesnt have reason to give us maximum in midrange phones (in their firmwares).
Developers have reasons to do that.
Thats why we have plenty of roms better than stock.
OptiMax is a good ICS rom. Its a fight between that and Jellysandwich
Jelly bean roms are pretty damn good too. Pacman(for a bit extra custom) or CM10
I would definently go with CM10.
After experiencing CM10, when you go on GB and ICS roms you will just feel like something is missing. I can't describe it but there's something.
And without doubt CM10 gives the smoothest and most user friendly experience.
Also to all you PAC fans out there, I did try all of the ROMs since v13 (inc. v17), but they are just never provided the same as CM10 did to me.
But choose for yourself if you have time. Try CM10, Forsaken's GB ROM, OptiMax, PAC, AOKP, JellySandwich, Ultimate HD (in that order)

Though PAC has CM10 built into it. But I am kinda with you on that one. It just doesn't seem as smooth as CM10 alone.

If you are a gamer (like me) I don't really recommend ICS or Jelly Bean Roms. There are many apps and games that are incompatible. I haven't tested a Jelly Bean rom but I think CM10 is under development, I already tried CM9 and I have to say the UI is very nice, but I had problems with many games and apps and I don't have this problem with CM7 (Gingerbread). So I think CM 7.2 is the best Rom right now, but that's my opinion, haven't tried other roms, only CyanogenMod, but is really good.
Why is everyone recommending CM10?
Maybe i am doing something wrong, but for me it is sluggish like hell 3 out of 10 times i am using my phone. Unlocking, using the launcher, using the settings...
It seems to stable, but that alone does not win the game.
Stable + snappy: nxt bread (odexed version) and fosakengb.
Both are stock based GB ROMs and i only miss some convenience functions, like accessing the notification bar from the lockscreen.
If you ever used an iPhone or Windows Phone, it seems GB is the way to go. ICS and JB ROMs are just not there, when it comes to user experience. But they are feature rich.
Re. ICS & JellyBean.. Well, the ROM I'm currently using is Iced Bean - I seriously disliked all ICS ROMS till I found this one! The most elegant, snappy and stable ICS ROM I've used so far!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911165
For Gingerbread I'd recommend JellyBread - hands-down my favourite GB ROM. Fast and pretty & lean and mean!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834106
PS Both of these ROMS will also work on loocked bootloaders. :good:
Thanks Everyone!
So i think CM10 have more fans.
ok, I'll go for it. They're showing 2 days left for a new release, so i'll wait for it
And can anyone help me for a Question? On Cyanogenmod's website, I went to see the Project status and saw "ST18(i/a) - Ray - urushi - CM9 done / CM10 done"
Does that mean everything is working on CM10? everything?
definitely try P.A.C rom . For me the best JB ROM for RAY :good:

After trying several ICS roms I've gone back to GB. I found that the ray just doesn't have the specs to run ICS as it should be. For a simple fast GB rom I'd suggest trying 4pda.ru stock repack rom with Aires kernal. It's a no nonsense rom so you can add the mods yet want. And you get the stability of stock.

Try JB rom for RAY and you never gonna back to GB or ICS ...
I don't even get how people can recommend CM10 when P.A.C. is basically the same, but without all the "non-working" stuff. I usually love CM and nothing would have been possible on JB roms without them, but clearly at this point PAC is completely far ahead, meanwhile including all the CM engine and rom modifications as well as OAKP.
