What Custom ROM would you recommend for decent battery life? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using Resurrection Remix 1.1 and find it very good. I have tried chicken v6 Lightning ROM and Miui but keep coming back to resurrection remix.
I open to giving others try if recommended.

Whichever one stops you using your phone. I'd therefore suggest picking whichever you consider the ugliest.

In which case I suggest a really old build of CyanogenMod 9, preferably one where the RIL issue hadn't been fixed yet
On the contrary, I am currently using HyDrOG3N ICS and loving it!

So what ugly ones are you using or have tried then?
I meant to say Checkrom v6 not chicken v6 doh

I like Resurrection remix very much as well, but battery life only lasts 20 hours +/-,
with moderate use, but it is the best ics rom out there!!!

Try Simplistic ROM Lite. It has fantastic battery life after a few cycles, and the developer keeps in contact with the users.
Here is the link to the ROM:

We don't recommend any custom rom for decent battery life. For the simple reason there is no such thing as the "best custom rom for battery life". 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.
I'm tipping this thread gets closed when mods wake up.

In my opinion wanamlite has excellent battery life, certainly better than I got on a stock gingerbread build. The developer seems to take battery issues seriously and fixes them very quickly.

Agree but not if the same question is asked in a new post every day .
Some users mistake this for a help forum its actually XDA Developers forum not some kindergarten forum .

I follow the resurrection remix thread and every fifth or sixth question is the same how do you install ROM why will cwm not work when reboot phone on resurrection v1 the zip had to be but in ad sd card and boot into it every time. That thread is getting to much repeat questions.
apologies to anyone if this question has been asked to much

What's a good 2nd ROM?

I'm not asking for a 'best' ROM. I'm asking which would be beneficial as a 2nd choice for emergencies, etc.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Not that different asking for a good for battery/best/etc rom. Different kernels and roms work differently on each phone, so just try them out to see which is best. For example, neak kernel is an excellent kernel recommended by a lot of people, but it really drains my battery faster compared to others.

Any, it really doesn't make a lot of difference if you want a ROM "for emergencies" as you say.
You can force the screen to the lowest brightness, throttle the CPU, use a plain black colour wallpaper and not install any apps at all on any ROM.
Btw, thread reported. No matter how you try and disguise it, it's still yet another fail thread from you. It's getting old pretty quickly.

Hydrog3n-ICS is probably one of the best Roms out there for the Galaxy S2.
It is a mixture of Cyanogen and AOKP which is pretty sick.
Its absoloutly smooth, has great features and treats your battery with care.

Theres the link if you want to have a look at it, also it is constantly being updated with nightly builds being created.

ROM recommendation

Hey galaxy s2 community! Just a quick question for you guys and gals. I'm ready to flash a ROM on my phone and I think I've narrowed it down to ether aokp or shostock2. I'd like to stick to ics now that the i777 has official ics (more stable and better features) so I think I may wait like a month. I'm looking for something fast (I like showing off my quadrant scores to my HTC fan boy friends) and stable, a good battery life would be great=). Can you help me choose between aokp and shostock2? And don't turn this into a war guys=) we all know they're both amazing ROMs, I just want to know which has better battery life and stability, speed is a nice bonus=) thanks!
I come from a captivate with darkyrom if that tells anyone what kind of ROM I like=)

We cant choose for u. Just flash them both and see what u like. Each rom suits each persons needs differently.
Sent from my SGH-i777 using XDA
In! (Again)
(⊙_⊙)
You could dual boot them using the siyah kernel. If you choose to do that download the version WITH mic swap, and try them both without flashing back and forth.
try both and see which works best for you.
As noted... no ROM fits everyone.. try a few, and see which works best for YOU.

[Q] recommended rom ?

Hi all,
Have a question re rom in galaxy s3 (uk).
My girlfriend has been using it for a while now and there are some issues like disconnecting with wifi and drains battery realy fast, to save juice wifi needs to be off and phone put in save battery mode and you have to do that each time you put away ur phone...
I have android tablet with custom ram from team EOS and the device is much more better that before (faster! No adds! With different cpu usage profiles to save battery! ...) so my question is what ram would you recommend for galaxy3 ?
Thanks!
Good Luck!
Android 4.3 (pizza sandwich) is the best

Anyways, if you dont have time, look for roms with most views and replies for starters
I would also like to remind you, that OMG I WANT DUH BEST ROMZ threads are not allowed and end up closed
The fact that you don't have time to do any research won't change XDA rules, and it should be a warning to your friends that if you don't have time to do the research you won't have the time to sort out the problems you will inevitably encounter when you mess up

There is no best absolute Rom that's why those threads are forbidden, to avoid countless trolls and fan battles. You must determine if you want Sammy or not Sammy based Rom, and then pick up one considering the description in op.
use Omega 33.3 Rom if you want a touchwiz based rom. Its tweaked for performance and very stable with the latest additions of Android 4.2 and Note II features..
For a pure Nexus feel use Cyanogenmod 10
For modified Nexus Feels ParanoidAndroid
These three are my favorites

Hey guys with the new 4.2.2 update, roms have been coming out pretty fast over the past few weeks and i haven't had time to try them all.
1. Flapps builds
2. CM nightlys
3. Jamies U-CM
4. JellyBeer
5. AVATAR rom
6. The Collective
7. Sons of Android (Ptmr3)
Kernels: Flappjaxx 3.1.x, and ACES B3x.
As you can see, a hella of amount of roms and i cant test them all :? So im asking for some overall feedback on these roms. Any info on any of these roms will do just fine. I also appreciate any comments/replies. Maybe comment on the stability or overall theming of the rom

Hello. This is not a pair of shoes.. It's a piece of hardware and silly roms. I, as many other users do not have time to test Every rom. Last time I checked each rom must receive full wipe and that takes a great amount of time and effort to do. And if you read the OP, it clearly states I DO want you opinion or what you think.. I wouldn't have made the thread if I didn't care what you thought. It also notes at very top that it's not a what's the best rom thread. So please read carefully next time. I don't like arguing over something silly. Thanks.

I am running the CM10.1 Nightlys, and they are great. They are plagued with an audio bug at the moment, so you have to use a custom kernel in place of the CM stock one. Only downside to that is battery life is bad with the custom kernel I am using, but stock CM kernel gave me great battery life, patiently waiting it out. JellyBeer was the first ROM I tried on the note and it was great as well. But I always go back to straight CM with every phone I have always used. I like watching the change log and getting the new features first. Hope this helped.

My fav is Flapps 4.2.2. I've been on it for about a week or two and it is awesome. Most stable of all the 4.2.2 ROMs I've tried. You don't see much about it because FJ isn't posting on XDA. He is just sharing his work, but it's great stuff.
I tried a few others but just wasn't as satisfied. Jellybam is a good one but there were other issues that keep from dealing with those characters. CM is also good, of course. I encourage you to include Flapps in your final 2 or 3 trial run ROMs. You won't be disappointed.

Quite frankly, this type of post above and "first" posts are the bane of my existence. They are about as useless as all the other spam out there, so I usually delete them on sight.
***************
@OP, I suggest you go into the Dev section and read a little. Pick out a few ROMs that look interesting to you. Then read the last 10 pages or so of each. Narrow it down to 1 or 2 that you like and read the OPs. Find one that you want to go with, then sit down, get a cold drink and start reading.
Make a Nandroid before you flash anything so that your next thread isn't "Help!! I bricked my phone".
