[Q] Most Stable, most compatible, most feature filled ROM? <ABRUPTLY TERMINATED>
Hey guys,
I have a very quick question, I want to know a ROM that is most stable, that has a lot of tweaks within a tweak manager, cool effects and keeps ALL the Galaxy S II functions (Camera).
I've tried CM7.1, I guess it's a great ROM to replace old device's ROM, but there are many functions removed from the stock Samsung ROM (Task Manager when hold home) and the Camera app (most important for me).
I'm just looking for the most stable (least or no bugs), cool tweaks (CRT/Overglow effect/Overclocking) and one that keeps Camera app to the stock one.
Lastly, if I were to flash a custom ROM, would I be able to flash back my speedmod kernel?
Thanks all
Nicholas
p.s. I would also be very happy if it came with CWM5
Its called SEARCH rom as question has been asked a million times and if you need to ask then you are not capable of using it .

Pity is that its wasting space and time bit like the OP .
My view is that if they ask that same question then they are incapable of flashing stuff and end up with a bricked phone .

Sorry, I know MANY ROMS out there, but I want to know by first hand experience about everyone's thoughts about many of the new ROMs and the most stable ones that recently came out. I just want people's opinions, and not a written guarantee on a forum post. I'm very sorry if I caused so much of a nuisance.
If you want people opinions, why dont you spend time reading through the threads of those particular roms, they will give you all the feedback you need....

As I clearly stated before, I have flashed CM7.1 and have not bricked. I don't think I'm incapable of flashing, as I flashed many phones recently, and I made many USB jigs for my phone and my friend's phone, I'm not that kind of Android newbie as you think I am, I used MANY Android secondary phones in the past since Android 1.6, and I flashed many different kinds of ROMs on many other devices ever since.
This thread is only asking for NEW opinions on the latest ROMs for the Galaxy S II, I want to know through experience if you like it or not, if it's good to use and if it still retains complete factory functionality.
Amazing.......I actually would of thought people who actually value their time, would just write one word like "VillainROM" or "CM" or "Cognition" and then make it to be 10 chars in total.
Thanks, what amazing people here.
What makes this thread different from the other 10 on this forum that are asking exactly the same question?

Anyways, since this is on the first page, any new guys to custom ROMs, this is the HUGE list, heard from Darkside and JJE from dozens and dozens of posts that it really depends on your taste of ROMs so there really isn't a "best" ROM, this is the HUGE list of ROMs:

I'm pissed just like him when I see the same carbon copied thread: "hello guys, because i am a very important person, i deserve special treatment and I want you all to find me the best rom, which fulfills the following requirements: x,y,z."
Come on... there's the forum, there are 100 similar threads open, read the descriptions, do something.
Well, it is a very generic and most commonly asked question as I checked around the forum, it would be best if a ROM list was stickied, so these types of questions would be eliminated.

As opposed to actually opening dev section and reading what each custom rom does .
If you are to lazy to do that then you are flashing a rom with no understanding of what you are doing or why that = bricked phone newbies cries help post .
jje
True that JJE, I would hate when that happens - when people don't know what they're doing, brick their phones, and then start a new thread asking for help. I understand.
I took four whole days looking at this forum, through almost 200 threads thoroughly, but most people I presume want to do it immediately and want to know the best ROMs at that very moment.
But anyways, the thread I linked was stickied and was very helpful.
Thread Terminated guys.

I'm a semi noob who has flashed a few ROMs and have read through alot of the threads in the developers forum trying to find the 'perfect' ROM for me. I'm currently running VillainRom 3.0. It works fine. However, I understand what the creator of the thread is looking for. I would also like to know what other people think is a great ROM and a brief explanation of why they like it. All the ROM threads in the development forum are full of people asking why this or that doesn't work or how do I fix this? I find it hard to find a reason to use any particular ROM from the information in those threads. To cut a long story short, why don't the elitist ROM wankers keep their comments out of these 'Best ROM' threads, even if it's been asked before, and let people who want to share information do so.
Oh yeah so VillainROM 2.5 and 3.0 are good ROMs. They've worked fine for me, and from what I've read of other ROMs I haven't been convinced to change yet.

Best rom is the one that you install on your phone and then go ahead and do some research regarding kernels and cpu apps like Setcpu or Voltage Control play around with them and test it for yourself. No point other people telling you what rom is best to go for and etc. Cause i could suggest you something and you might come back and say blah blah man you suggested this rom and the drain is stupid why the **** you suggested it to me and so on.
So go into the original development and there are few roms there. Read the first pages and then try and read like the last ten pages of a rom thread you like the look of and see what people say and you can get your answer there.
Also top right there is a search button..Use that to for getting answers to any questions you have or even better use google... Not having a go just telling you what other users will come and say to you as well
The best rom is the rom you test to see how it works for you. No two SGS2's come out of the factory the same (variance in components/"quality" thereof), no two users have the same phone setup and no two users have the same usage patterns.
In other words, check the development sections of the boards for the various threads devoted to the different roms. Read up about the features/pros/cons for each rom, and the different experiences other users have had with the rom. Ask questions if necessary in those threads (Not "how do I save battery/make my battery last longer, however ).
In other words, pick a rom and try it out for yourself
I'm betting (being a betting man and all ) this thread is not long for this world i.e it's getting closed soon-ish.
For you? Stock.

I was just going to post the same as the guys above.
ROM's work differently on different handsets (that may have the same model number), because you're going to have different software installed than the next guy. You have to do your own homework!!
Imagine asking 10000 people which flavor of ice cream you're going to like best. That's the same. Those people can't tell you which flavor you're going to like best because they don't know exactly what you like.
Good luck. Try stuff out...
Hi deepmob,
I appreciate you posting this in the correct section, but as our Senior Members have so eloquently put it, just try them until you find one that works. There is no "best".
With that, thread closed.
Hi guys, new to the forum and fairly new to android, I've got a galaxy s3 international version locked to the three network in the UK, I've been considering using a custom ROM but wanted to know your opinions?
Criteria for me are simple, I like the look of stock android so I want that or something similar, but I like the functionality of TouchWiz so would like to retain that if possible. The only other thing is the quick settings/toggles on the notification bar in TouchWiz, this is something I now cannot live without so it needs to have that or something similar (tbh i just like the auto rotate, wifi and brightness toggles).
Thanks in advance guys, look forward to your answers.
Chris.
Welcome to the forums. Always check the stickies before you post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935514
the best thing to do is to try different ROMs for yourself. Everyone has their own preference and no 2 rom set ups are exactly the same.

Thanks for the advice, ill look into some roms and try a few out, another question i have though is whats the difference between the android development forum, and the original development forum?
Also in regards to checking the stickies about asking which rom is best I did not ask that, I simply asked for a recontamination from experianced users to help me find a rom which suited my specification, it wasnt as simple as which rom is the best, it was more of a "which rom can provide these features" kinda thing.
Thanks for the help though appreciate it, cant help but think how much better/faster my s3 will be without the samsung software

It will be much better. :highfive: I will be closing this though, as it will turn into a best rom thread and "who has more features" or "whose is more stable". Best thing to do is read up and try.
Hi!
I'm looking for a smoother ROM than the one I'm using right now. This one is a ROM provided by T-Mobile. But it freezes up a few times a day (while browsing internet), the battery heats up most of the time and this freeze can degrade the batterycapacity by 70%.
Can anybody advice me on this?
Galaxy s2, T-Mobile NL
OS Android 4.0.4
Cheers! El Jappe
@ Mods, maybe this isn't the right forum, can you refer me to the right place then?
Root, make a backup and try custom roms until you find what your looking for. Any major custom rom is probably better then T-mobile
Thanks for that! Any particular ROM you could advice me?

Why, thanks for the wristslapping. Always nice to get a warm welcome from experienced users, who didn't make it to the mod status themselves.
Any advices given with good intentions are deeply appreciated.

Want a loophole? ask if this could be a hardware issue and what ROM should you try.
Now, you really need advice on picking a ROM?
If the answer is yes here's my comeback:
".............."

Always nice to see people like you who are too arrogant to follow the rules and decide to make their own ones. However, they aren't quite welcome here because they are too lazy to do some research, like all of us (the fake mods, nice one, did you made that up all by yourself?) do.
If you're mad because of the plain, correct answers you have been given, maybe it's better to don't participate in this forum.

Hi,
I currently have HellyBean installed, but my phone heats up even when I open e.g. Chrome, which greatly affects battery performance and performance in general.
I'm now looking for a new ROM and Kernel, but can't decide. It should be slim, 4.2.2 and should provide good general and battery performance.
I would be thankful if you could recommend me one (I was taking a look at SuperNexus, don't know if that's a good one.)
Aokp mr1 milestone 4.2.2 slim and stable.
This is indirectly like a "what's the ebst ROM" thread, which is against the rules to post such threads.
If you wnat to know the "best" then flash several 4.2.2 ROMs and find out.
Reported this thread. This is the post im referring to <- Recommended you read it.

Thank you very much, but I was asking which ROM each of the guys who respond can recommend and if SuperNexus is one you would recommend. I read the thread you linked and it doesn't apply here. I have tried many, many ROMs, but haven't found the one that suits best for me (fyi, there are too much ROMs to try out, I don't have that much time ).
If you came here to help, please do so, but if you came here to play police, please leave.
I recommend stock GB with speedmod kernel.Its the best combo and Ive tried rootbox and supernexus.
Ive found with each custom rom that there always seem to be a problem or two,also built in things I cant change.
But Im too pernickity.......

Pal, I just wanted recommendations for one or more ROMs which are best for me, not the best ROM. The trying-out-part still has to be done by me, ok? Please stop this, really, you make this forum look like a bureaucratic jungle.
That's the point, you wanna hear 2765 opinions so you can say "oh yeah...that could be the one i'm looking for" when you can easily read the ROM threads of every single ROM suggested here.
Either way, you need to try em all.

Look, I am thankful for your advice and I will try it out, and I sure know that you can only recommend me ROMs, but not tell me which exactly is the one I need, but that's not what I asked.
While I understand what you're asking the issue is that every user has different needs when it comes to their phone and what may work best for one person may not be the same for another. It's best to read some of the threads in the dev section and make an educated descision based on your particular needs.
