Anything newer than XXLPH? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hmm, for me XXLPH doesn't seem stable at all. I've had my phone lock up 3 times since yesterday and have had to do a battery pull.
Two other times it would crash the phone and show the fancy Samsung boot animation.
Is there anything newer than XXLPH?

No.

Try CM9. I tested it for a few days and it's quite stable even if it isn't really my bag (went back to my old setup).

I recommend Resurrection Remix. Ive had great success with it thus far. No fc's and a lot of extras included.

Hmm good idea, but I do enjoy the camera application that Samsung provides, its much better than Google Android stock.
Should be another leak / release soon...

[Q] Which ROM Are You Using?

Hello GUIse & Girls
As you can probably see in the subject bar (or title bar) in this thread, I was wondering what ROM's you guys are using. I think I've probably tested all the ROM's available for the SGSII (Since I'm a themer) and I can't come to the conclusion on which one is the best, they all have their strong points but some are better than others. I will eventually will put a Poll up when I can collate ALL the ROM's that are the main ones (No offence the ones I miss out).
I'll start,
I change ROM's almost daily (As I said, I'm a themer and need to test features) but at present I am using Revolution 2.6 with the Speedmod t27 Kernel, the battery isn't as good as expected, I've disabled fast dormancy and hardly use 3G Data or Wi-Fi and it seems just to drain like none of it's business. I'm even using the Black Android Theme I made for the SGSII as blacks work better and use 30% less power on the Super AMOLED plus.
So, which ROM are you using?

Lite'ning ROM with rstopher's Red Theme.
I tries most of the rom. But for battery life and stability, in my opinion, the best is so far the stock one (KH3 for the moment). I just apply some tweaks^^ (CRT, APN, Talk2, UAchange in browser...)

Usually stock is best as it's default with nothing added. You add whatever you want to it. Good really.

I just rooted my phone and I am lost in which ROM to install, My preferences are a stable full of gadgets and fast ROM
any suggestion?

I'd probably go with Revolution ROM, he included a ROM Kitchen app in it so you can install whatever tweaks and themes you need.
If you're looking for pure stability then it's Cognition.

What's the most stable rom right now? [4/21/2012]

I'm on stock unrooted and I just want a rooted, hassle-free experience. So which rom right now has the least known complications? Just a quick look at the development section makes me think it might be the Unofficial Rom.
Any recommendations?
I'm pretty happy with the alpha 2 from DAGr8. His third version gave me too many problems. The other roms' forums seem full of problems with the store or messages...I guess just try a few. If you nandroid where you are now switch back shouldn't be too hard

There aren't many at the moment. I would suggest staying stock with some tweaks until our phone becomes more widespread(it's still new)
I just flashed theunofficial and so far it hasn't given me any problems.
Sent from my Galaxy Note
I would give unofficial a try. It is by far the most stable custom rom I have ever used. It has never frozen, given me FCs, or had weird random issues. So basically it works flawlessly and this is the first custom rom I can honestly say that about.

I have flashed all the roms and i keep coming back to Saurom 7.1 I do like the unofficial as well. You have to at least try 2 of them to test around with because really comes down to personal preference when many roms become stable.

I also must jump on the Unofficial bandwagon as it is "very" stable. I was on Solaris for a while but it seems to be out of the picture for now. But if you want a hassle-free experience, go for the Unofficial.
Another for "The Unofficial". Great ROM, very stable and smooth.
Dag_8 Alpha II is the best ICS out so far. It's currently my daily driver.
Alpha III caused SMS issues and other FCs.
If playing4sheezy comes out with Beta 2 for NOTEWorthy then I'll be switching to it, because it is the smoothest, cleanest, ICS out yet...
A Question
I have a question for the folks using alpha II, what do you like about it over Alpha I? I keep comming back to Alpha I because it is the most stable for me.

Cm10 vs Touchwiz

Ok,so i dont want to be that type of guy who asks..is that better or that better..i just want your perspective...should i go for cm10? is the overall experience faster and smoother??does the camera work well?? can i use it as a daily driver..?? im using touchwiz..but i dont know..i start to see it as a full of color experience..all the icons are orange or very collored...so from your perspective..CM10 OR TOUCHWIZ?
Tx.
If you have to ask this question then the answer is always NO.

When I got my S3 3 months ago I thought AOSP (CM10) was not worth the effort.
The tweaker inside me 3 weeks later rooted and flashed CM10.
In terms of fluidity CM10.1 may win slightly. At the end of day the UI was the decider for me.
CM10.1 is 98% stable for me. Only issues is sometimes the camera stalls with flash etc. No biggie cos I dual boot with stock

CM10.1 Stable Feedback

I am interested in trying out CM10.1 stable, but want to see if others have some feedback to share with the rest of us.
Some questions :
- Is it really "stable"? Any reboots?
- Any feature not working (bluetooth, tethering, etc...)
- Battery life?
- Compatibility with different custom kernels?
- Any issues with network (LTE/4G)?
Thank you in advance.

Still reboots
I don't use bluetooth nor therering
Only ran it for 24 hrs so I can't help you with battery cause you need to give it about a week or so before you can actually see how battery performs.
I use this kernel with no issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326786
I din't notice any LTE/4G issue
Reboots for me too. Its like twice in past 48 hrs and it was random. Not too bad. A reboot to startup is only about 20 seconds.

Been running it since it dropped. I have had a couple of reboots. I have had some screen flickering. Tethering works. LTE= 28.05Mbps/Down & 12.26Mbps Up in Jackson MS
Out of all the roms I have tried I like it the best so far.

6/26 nightly seems more stable.
The "Enable keys notifications" (also known as BLN) does not work. It worked in 10.0.
On the positive side, they've added this feature called, "Ask for reminder snooze delay" which allows you to set the reminder time to something different than the default 5min (I just noticed this feature; not sure if it's totally brand new). I remember this feature was available on the Palm OS ten years ago and since then I haven't seen it on any mobile OS (not sure if BB had it) until now.

Same here with the reboots. It does get annoying but whatever. I might end up going back to Samsungs JB.

roms are like women, treat them right and they treat you right
and youtube is def not an issue, thats probably my most used app
but as i said on my other post a bit ago, everyones phone is different, and everyones phone use is different so we cant expect everyone to have the same results
this is why having the choice to flash anything and everything you want and finding what works best for you, makes android so desirable
Right on. Yeah when I Need a flash fix I'll consider it

the most stable from my experience was a cm9 ics based rom as its most compatible with the device...most roms 4.1 based and higher have reboot issues because of a deep sleep issue caused by the default setting of the min frequency being too low under performance settings...but if you want everything to work including bluetooth and not have sense cm9 would be your best choice...4.3 based roms still have many bugs such as mms not working after first reboot and camcorder keeps force closing..4.1 and up still has a few bluetooth based bugs and your reboots...the reboots still happen on 4.3 based roms like pac until you change it to proper settings

The AOSP ROM I used for a while was PAC but it started rebooting a lot because it overheated while charging. CM9 was stable for me and CM10 is almost stable.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW running EclipticRezRavampedV9 (Lunar Kernel) using xda app-developers app.
full asop
Even the latest version of cm9 (back in 05/28/13) has bluetooth problems. Is there really no aosp or kang that is 100% functional? Weather it be 4.0, 4.2, 4.3? Came close with Liquid Smooth but still having soft reboots.
Consider Talon v1.0, because either nobody is using it (unlikely with over 3000 views), or people are using it and brenuga just built it right and it works... and my money is on the later. Seems extremely stable, feature rich, and bug-free, it is what I am going with for my work phone.
My ROM of choice is CM10.1.3. I have zero issues with it. CM9 would be my next choice.
