Well, after flashing the latest Miui V4 from Miui Scottland and Miuiandroid, i hate to say that its utterly ****. This is my opinion btw.
After flashing(correctly of course, wipe all including system and dalvik). Slow, buggy unresponsive. Applying a theme just caused me a boot loop and im going back to CM9. If Miui was the only rom, I'd go back to its GB roms. Does anybody else experience this?
miuiv4 doesn't fully support themes yet and contains many annoying bugs
better to wait it out. keep reading the usual weekly updates and the buglists in the meantime. so till then use gb if you want or go cm9/aokp if you want some ice cream
miuiandroid's v4 is as stable as the samsung base.
v4 does'nt support themes yet. leave it as default and u'll find its as bug free as samsung base.
wait till they update the base to the latest lp7, which i think is much better than the previous ones.

I just wanted to know whats the best stock rom for S II. I am happy with the phone's performance on 2.3.3. I want every features of the stock rom better audio quality, google talk with video calls and atlast tad better battery life.
Well, i think the battery life is depend on individual settings, like 3G,Wifi,sync etc.
For me is Leomar75 Revolution the best Rom at the moment. It comes with a kitchen app that allows you to install themes,roms and kernels. i tried Skyrom, Criskelo and lightning. look in the thread from Leomar and then decide for yourself.
2.3.4 is almost knocking on the door, so no benefit to discuss about 2.3.3, still am using the KF3 for a month now, very stable and the best IMO.
Criskelo V10, Lighning 5,Skyrom 4.0 and LeoMar75 2.4 are based on the latest firmware XXKG6 Gingerbread 2.3.4, LeoMar is the only with FullWipe (Apps and Settings cleared)
The next official Stock Firmware with 2.3.4 will be roll out soon
As the first rom i would use litening rom, no root needed and it can ne flashed via odin. Comes with root and cwm. At the moment i like leomar rom most, his kitchen app is really cool and easy to use, for kernels rom updates themes and other stuff. Nearly every day updated .
You have to try.
the best roms are:
1 - samsung stock
2 - CM
3 - AOSP ports
Other roms bring next to nothing (couple of menu item tweaks and sound tweaks) but bugs and a skin. You've to realize that all the claims they make about speed or battery have no substance, there is nothing that is done toward those goals and 99% of them don't actually know what they're doing at all. Sad state of affairs if you ask me.
I have tried almost all the ROMs out here in XDA, except CyanogenMod. Out of all the ROMs that I tried, MIUI is the best in terms of User Experience and User Interface and above all the super fantastic battery life. Go and give it a try, you wont be disappointed. This is the REAL ROM, the MIUI guy has taken customization totally to a different level.
If you're a fan of stock with some few subtle additions try Darky2 KG6 ROM. I applied the ROM (No wipe), then applied the odexer zip and then a JKay theme and app from the themes section. Looks sweet and works perfectly
Cm (Cyanogenmod) is a very good rom, but not at this time and not if you using Kies. I am waiting for stable Version and will test it too
LeoMar is a very good rom. The kitchen app is very useful if you want to flash kernels,themes and if there is a new update you can flash it thru kitchen app.
CM7 Ftw! And of course for a full AOSP eperience, you can try AdamG's Oxygen!
I will be sticking to CM7 though, for me it's the best, fully customizable and full of tweaks.
Thank for guiding
I beleive I should try no wipe roms at first then I should try the full-wipe roms.
Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

ICS PASSION.
Stable fast GPS works and its 4.0.3

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...
Hi all,

v4 doesnt supported themes at the moment. but driday is their usuall update day so maybe they fix that today
I dont know much about duel booting compatibility...
these are the 2 popular English fan sites where you can find ICS & GB roms with its changelogs....

MIUI V4 are still on BETA and not 100% bugs free yet...
only few themes are currently supported for V4
I am currently using GB MIUI, working fine, very smooth, batterry friendly
Try them all until you find one you like. Given how easy it is to flash roms & backup/restore in CWM, you have no excuse for not doing so. Apart from laziness :-|
Adyscorpius has got a nice miui. I'm using miui sp V12 , dev is dragon. He will release probably next week a update. Both are on xda-developers.com

How is battery consumption in MIUI roms? THanks!
That depends wich kernel you use...
Siyah v3 works great with miui

Just read and search and try one until you find one you like.

Why no developer working on MIUI Rom based on Gingerbread 2.3.7 since Android 4.0 based roms still not fully working due absence of drivers.Such as the MIUI 2.4 ,it is stable than ics and MIUI V4.
Because if you look in the developer forums, there is no 2.3.7 release for our device. Highest and most recent version of android is 2.3.5 Gingerbread.
Besides that, we have no direct kernel access, so we currently can't have a full ICS experience.
Because upstream MIUI has moved on from CM7 and the CM9 we have is definitely stable enough to use.
If you want one, make one! That's what I did.

Hi,
I am not at all satisfied with the performance of the official latest update provided by Sony i.e., 4.1.B.0.587.
Posted many times on their support forum but no solution received yet.
It has several issues, naming few:
Hanging Issue (phone is on standby mode and suddenly starts ringing without any display on screen until you turn it off).
Battery Drainage (Major portion of the battery is consumed by Android OS).
Low on stability and performance. (very slow)
Current Version Details:
Model: Sony Xperia Mini Pro / SK17i
Android Version: 4.0.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 -perf (Why is Sony still using kernel 2.6.x when they should have switched to 3.x?)
Build Number: 4.1.B.0.587
I am looking forward for a custom ROM installation. Kindly suggest me the best ROM for my phone (I have also read on some forums that MIUI is better than CyanogenMod). Is that so???
It is the first time I am doing any custom installation on phone so will really appreciate if you can provide me the links of the forum from where I can get the details of how to proceed with the same.
Eagerly waiting for a prompt and positive response.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I know about that post, I am dicey between CM & MIUI, just wanted the suggestions/feedback on both so that there is more clear picture in front of me.
Also should I wait for more stable JB?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Otherwise forget about cyanogenmod.
You could try my MIUI rom, it works on locked bootloader, too!
MIUI has lots of features, many are very great and usefull. There are great little things like being on lockscreen and holding homebutton acivates the flashlight.
MIUI is great, so just try it. How to install custom roms is in my signature, my MIUI rom, too :good:
And please read the sticked threads next time!

cm7 is based on vanilla gingerbread android source and it is fast. got more bugs than stock gingerbread rom.
ics miui is based on stock ics. its beautiful and got more feature than cm but its hunger on resource and sometime can be laggy too.
cm9 is based on vanilla ics android source and it is fast. but probably got more bugs than stock based rom.
aokp ics is based on vanilla ics android source too and same as source based rom, it is fast. got more feature than cm9 and inherit the same bugs as cm9.
paranoid android ics is the same, based on vanilla ics android source and it is fast too. got a feature exclusive to it which is ability to chose between phone ui, table ui or hybrid between both. imho not really suitable for our small screen phone.
cm10 is based on vanilla jellybean android source, got more bugs than cm9.
aokp jellybean is based on vanilla jellybean android source too, got more feature than cm10 and inherit same bugs as cm10.
paranoid android jellbean is same, based on vanilla jellybean android source. same as paranoid android ics, got the ability to chose between phone ui, tablet ui or hybrid. got the same bugs as cm10.
pacman jellybean is a hybrid between cm10, aokp and paranoid android. got all feature of those three, some sort of mash up rom. its based on vanilla jellybean android source too and inherit the same bugs as cm10.
that should sum it all up.
