Hey All,
I recently flashed the stock ICS rom and rooted kernel from
this thread
but i have several bugs/problems with it since doing so (stock keyboard ONLY types numbers and not letters, email sporadically doesnt work, random freezes). To confirm, the rom i have at the moment is I9100XXLPQ
So, ive had a look around this forum and its pretty saturated with custom roms. Can anyone please recommend the best rom, which is closest to stock, but is known to be the most bug free and has a rooted kernel (or one can be applied)
I appreciate your help

I hear footsteps ....... is that crachel I hear coming!!!!
Anyway man root your phone, do a cwm backup and flash 1, 2 or all the ics roms you want until you find one you like. If you don't, just restore your backup. No harm done.

There is no such thing as the "best rom". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom, and also see other users' experiences with that rom.
Then you can test different roms for yourself to find one that works best for you.
Yes, basically as everyone has said. Please take their suggestions.
What you need from a ROM is different than what someone else needs so what these threads will boil down to every single time if we left them open is "just try one until you find one you like"

Hi Im looking to install a rom on my phone and was wondering what is the best one out there now?
Try them all out for yourself to find out which is best.
What I would think is best, you could hate for all I Know.
ok, let me chime in here before you get flamed and the thread gets locked. Dont create a thread asking for the best rom. Every phone is different and will respond to ROM's differently. What works for me, may not work for you.
the same suggestion applies to everyone creating a thread like this -- try all the roms and determine which works best for you.

I am sure you are going to be yelled at by many for asking this question ! See, it depends on what your requirement is, some like heavily themed ROM (firmware), some like very light weight ( just better battery, minimal force closures,etc).
why don't you start with something stock like UnNamed, SHOstock ROMs if you don't like and you want more 'customization' then try TASK650's ICS'd and ICScrewD these are themed and a little heavier and have more options to play around!
Give each ROM couple of days and see how it works for your daily use, and choose your final one, also learn how to take Nandroid backup using CWM and take backup before try new one one.
Ones I pointed are here for long and stable.
Good luck!
Geezus .. another one? ..batter down the hatches, there's a storm brewin!
New users should be required to sign a waiver stating that they will NOT under any circumstances, start a New thread asking about which ROM is best.. add that line into the services and agreement checkbox..
sent from my Galaxy SIII ...haha jk, I FOiLed ya!
AFAIK, there is absolutely no BEST ROM as it might be BEST and suitable for you but not for others.
Keep reading through, most of the time when new ROM update released, a first few pages, people keep giving thumbs up and 5 or 6 stars but down the road, they start reporting issue, oh, I can't do this, I can't do that after update.
Expect to pull your hair, scratch your head a few times.
Best rom is whichever one gives u the options u want and does what u need it to do. If you're asking which are more popular and basing your idea off these, just peruse the development section. Usually more popular Roms are at the top or have been around a while and have been thoroughly tested by the user base.

This is why allowing these threads is bad. They'll just keep on coming. To the OP, had you spent a single minute looking over the first page of threads in here you would have seen this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484306
Maybe it might have saved you from starting this redundant and useless thread, maybe not. No one ROM is THE BEST because no one uses their phone the same way or has the same needs/expectations. The only way to find which one is best for you is to try them. To figure that out you should read the various ROM's threads in Dev and see what problems/benefits it has and decide for yourself what you can live with. THERE IS NO BEST ROM!
We dont allow "best rom" threads. Each person is different looking for different featuers. Try some yourself and see which one fits you.

Hi all, I have a Galaxy Nexus which has been rooted and running a custom ROM/Kernel and my girlfriend has just got a Galaxy S II. I will be rooting her phone and am looking for suggestions for which ROMs and kernels to use!
If possible a gingerbread suggestion and ICS suggestion would both be great and kernels for either.
She is really looking for better battery life so if you could bear that in mind when making a suggestion, that would be great!
So far I have found Resurrection remix ROM as that seems quite popular...
Thanks in advance!

I think you may have mis-read my OP. I only stated that I was looking for *better* battery life as I already know that each phone/battery is different.
I have already looked through the first few pages and like I said I found the Resurrection remix to be quite popular but I was also looking for any other suggestions as usually there will be only a handful of ROMs that the majority of people use because of their high quality etc.
The problem with going through testing different ROM/Kernel combinations is that (as stated before) the phone is not mine, it belongs to my girlfriend, so I will be unable to be there for most of the time that the phone is being used and if there are instabilities, I will not be able to see it.
This is the 2nd reason of why I made this topic, from getting suggestions, it will show the more popular ROMs/Kernels and also narrow down the search greatly.

You haven't actually provided any input here have you. The op has already said hes look at some threads and he just wants some input from others now?
Also, as you can see he said it is for his GF. I seriously doubt she is going to want him to test different ROM's and Kernels for her...
Anyway OP, i suggest Ressurection rom remix too, my friend has an S2 and speaks highly off it./
No idea about kernels though.
Really ?
And you obviously know that there is pretty much zero tolerance for these threads in SGS2 Q&A, don't you ?
Thought not.
And that's the entire sum of your contribution is it ?
Thought so.
Thanks for playing champ.

I fully agree with MistahBungle...You've been here for quite a while and yet you respond to this thread as if it was allowed...
To OP:
Try out every single rom that is out there and decide for your self which rom works for your girlfriend..Why the hell should we work for you? Do it your self...
Have a nice day....
Hi NAM_Killer
I understand your situation is slightly different from the other ROM suggestion threads (we have closed/deleted literally hundreds). My suggestion for you would to be to check this thread that we have allowed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515010
And to read the various kernel and ROM threads themselves. ALL of them will have users posting their experiences with battery life and stability. The information is there.

Hello,
I am sorry for a question which may seem simple but I never really noticed it getting mentioned.
My Galaxy ace was rooted then ages later I installed an the 2.3 update on my phone with Odin as it hadn't been released in the UK at the time (May even still be the case).
I have since installed CWM5 and CyanogenMod (yesterday in fact), now I am fairly sure the answer is yes but would like to confirm if I am correct.
Does the phone remain rooted after ROMs are installed etc.?
I am a huge fan of the CyanogenMod and would strongly suggest it to any one with an Ace that like my self was always on the verge of installing a custom ROM but always chickened out. It is extremely fast.
I only have one or two issues that I don't know if it is the ROM or my phone which are; screen no longer lights up just buttons when I receive a notification and if I am on Wifi the button back light randomly lights up - I think I saw some one else mentioning they had this issue, just wondering if anyone knows if it is the ROM and I can simply wait till there is an upgrade from the Cyanogenmod peeps or if it is my phone being an arse and I should maybe rock my phone back to stock and do it all again.
Sorry if I have not posted this in a manor this forum desires but still trying to get my head around where to post what in this rather huge forum.
Also,
First post so will also say Hello.... Hello....
Thanks in advance for any replies.
p.s.
Third attempt to do the damn image verification haha
Hello ~
First, it depends on the rom. Custom roms are usually rooted. So,the answer is yes.
Second, there are bugs in custom rom. You can choose some rom with less bug or stock rom.
Sorry for my bad english
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
if installing/flashing stock rom, it'll be unrooted automatically even if its rooted before.
if installing/flashing custom roms, yes it'll stay rooted because custom rom mostly include root.
the problem u having might caused by custom roms/kernel, try experiments with different roms/kernel and see if its gone.

Firstly, please do not apologise for your "bad English" - You have taken the time to learn English and I bet I cannot say a word in your language - so I thank you for taking the time to answer my question in a language which is foreign to you. Props to all those on this forum that do that.
Now back to the topic! hehe
Yes sorry I should of been more specific about what ROM I am rolling, it is this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543521) I thought due to the amount of response it had it would of been a very popular one among the Ace community and was hoping some people may have had some insight into my issues.
And thank you for clearing up my confusion about the root
And while writing this I saw the post by an0nym0us so I shall reply to him as well in here
Thank you for that extra detailing when it comes to the rooting, that is the exact information I required.
Is their a ROM which is a "must" for an ace user to try out? I am being rather adventurous now haha My first taste of a good custom ROM has got me wanting to find more which either more stability or just improvements on other good ROMs
Thank you all for replies.
1. Flashing custom roms will not unroot for phone flashing stock roms willl
2. Yes that lighting-of-backlit-buttons is a standard issue on cm7
3. Welcome to XDA
4. Before you post in development section please read the stickies(if u r on xda app) or the first 3-4 threads in general section (if viewing via browser)
5. Cm7 is awesome complaining about small issues will b neglecting the awesome features cm7 gives to your phone
6. Read the forum rules carefully and slowly or you may fall in trouble.
7. Always google for questions first b4 posting in forums ( i m sure your questions would have been answered by googling)
8. Best of luck
sent from my SGA powered by the best rom ever --CM 7.2 by the late F.A.T. ( I ll miss u F.A.T )
Yes I am sorry I had to ask questions that may well of been answered in detail with a google but I kept finding conflicting arguments about it so I thought best thing to do would be go to the most representable forum in the field and ease the pain of which was my question once and for all
And don't get me wrong, I was not complaining about the ROM I love it Just wanted to know if it was the ROM or me doing something that was causing the issues. If it was me - I would do it again if it is the ROM who cares - I know it will get fixed at some point
And thank you for the welcome post didn't get chance to check the rules correctly as I was at work when I registered and posted the first post haha Limited time while manager wasn't behind me hehe
I really like how you guys do not limit guests so they cannot see the development posts, that is really nice of the site. I was able to install the ROM etc, following instructions and links without being nagged to register and that alone made me want to register
Welcome to the forum. Word of warning - if you come accross a program called Rom Manager please leave it alone. Most people on here would agree that you can recover your phone from all kinds of mistakes made while flashing new exciting roms, best method - make a backup, but using Rom Manager may damage your phone irreversably.
Yeah I have heard about it all over the forum. Does it work well in any instance?

May work beautifully with some mobiles only have Ace and like you read the warnings onhere and elsewhere re Ace. Just amazes me how many use it 1st then come here to ask "What happened to my phone". You are definately off on the right foot by getting info here 1st. GL
By the way don't be surprised if all your posts disappear - getting to 10 is not this easy I know.

And another one, don't ask for questions like the best rom or the best something you'll seriously be hated
Welcome to the family!
Anyway, flashing a custom rom will not take away your root. (I think they are already pre-rooted)

Yes I saw a full post about not asking for best rom.
Only thing I have asked for is a suggestion a "Must" try ROM as in a Rom that everyone should experience once So far it seems that Rom is the Cyanogen Rom I am currently running While I love so much.
Also, I am very very impressed with the XDA Android app!
Once I get to 10 posts I have a few inputs I am looking forward to getting into the development posts
Most rom's come pre rooted in order to function

[Removed question]
After a user gave me a rather unhelpful and rather horrid way to reply to this question I simply removed it to avoid that sort of response.
So what would you say is the perfect rom
you know in battery life
looks
speed
cpu usage
performance ability
etc.
post what you think is the perfect rom and please send link so i can see it
( tonight i going to flash a rom no matter what )
If you find the 'perfect rom' please let me know
I suppose it depends on how you use your phone and for what things.
I am personally using D4 Rom (CM9 based) & I love it. Fast, stable with good battery.
As said above Rom preference changes from person to person!
If you want to know my personal fav, it is CheckRom!
Click on the image in my sig it will lead you to the site!
There is no such thing as the "the perfect rom". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom, and also see other users' experiences with that rom.
Then you can test different roms for yourself to find one that works best for you.
Given how easy it is to make/restore a Nandroid backup in CWM, there is no substitute or excuse for you trying out a bunch of roms yourself. Asking other people to make these decisions for you is laziness.

Well, after a while (too much time) with dual boot ICS ROMs - Stock 4.0.3 LPG & PFittech ROM 4.0.4 (with siyah kernel), I kinda lost with all the new ROMs, all looks the same but one have options that other haven't and vice versa....
First I wanna know if there is any stable JB ROM (AOKP, not intresting in Stock)?
The 4.2.2 ROMs are stable enough? what the main problems this ROMs have?
I made a pool, just to know a little bit more about the statistic (if someone will cooperate ) of how many users using each ROM, also can post here and share recommands...I want to flash a new ROM and hope to get some info before I'm doing that
Aokp 4.1.2 official is perfectly stable n works great with siyah kernel 5. Its has no problem at all.
Some roms 4.2.2 are not perfect.they work well but most of them have a very poor battery duration.
In my opinion the only 4.2.2 roms i d use d be: sentinel rom. Aokp. Slimbean. I tested a lot of roms 4.2.2( cm rootbox carbon hct thinking etc) n in this 3 i had no problems at all n good battery life( liquid smooth 2.4 is also great. But liquidsmooth team stop supporting our device so the rom file is lost)

Don't know where you find any mention to "bettet/best" rom, all I ask is if the JB roms are stable enough to flash (its been a while last time I've checked) and just for the record to know which rom ppl here using (from the above, cuz all of them looks almost the same)
I also would like to know if there is any bugs or something I should know about the new versions before I'm flashing it.
But if you don't want to help with this, its fine by me.
@Raagh - thanks for reply mate, good to know that the 4.1.2 versions are finally stables!
There are bugs, as always. We got threads about it and fixes for -almost - all of them.
There's no "better ROM" mention, you're right. Tho there are a couple of queries about how stable are those ROM you happened to mention.
You need to try them out one by one or you can read the 1000 pages of the official jb thread sticked in the general forum.
That being said there's no room for any advice on what ROM you should flash, so it won't be -as- a better ROM thread.

just adding on ...
all depends oh what flavor you like ... all the ROM's have there own features dislikes and likes to every individual person... as in kernels as well its matter of preference of what you like ...good luck hope you find the one you like
Its perfectly clear that this is basically a "What is best rom" thread which is against the rules!
If you want to know what is the best/most stable or however you want to put you should TRY THEM AND FIND OUT!
All these type of threads do is result in the same subjective opinions nothing more, If you want those kinds of threads dont create new ones use the search button!
Also READ sticky topics!
Thread reported for obvious reasons!
Sheer laziness :-/
Maybe its because of the poll that I've opened you may tought its "another BEST rom thread".
Seems like some people here getting 'self-righteous', since the last time I've visited...
A simple question that become a spam one, thanks to the 'righteous' "guards" // AKA bootlickers.
I pretty 'seated' about flashing new ROMs, I know most of you don't, but I've flashed a lot of ROMs before I've got the two I mention at the first post, you can call it lazyness, I call it doing home-work before flashing 10 ROMs, I prefer focus on 2 or 3 ROMs to check...
Anyway, I have no idea how to delete the poll (some dumbs may thought its 'what is better rom' post because of this stupid poll, the aim was to see the distribution of the people who use these popular roms, but no one never choose anyway.)
Still - I've got my answers, thanks to @Raagh @gastonw and @slimlo for the informative answers, I naively thought it was a simple question and after a while people could direct me more to something specific.
You can close this thread, thanks again for the above guys and for the 'self-righteous'//bootlickers - hope you'll had a better popularity next time.
The question is, why shouldn't you flash & test a bunch of roms to find one that has what you want/one you like the same as almost everyone else here ? The whole point of hanging around a place like XDA is you like messing around with your phone - yourself. Not have everyone else do it for you.
If that's not your bag, you're probably in the wrong place.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
