Hello,
i've seen many defferent roms all based on ics and i was woundering whats the big difference? i mean they all run the same system and have all the same feathers so why are there so many roms?
thanks
Customised as per the developers ideas .
You read the roms description posted for what's been removed added or themed .
Not all roms are based on ICS some are GB roms some are straight non Samsung ICS clones even direct Google Builds even an independent OS or two .
All cars are a box with wheels = same answer .
jje
Maybe so... but all cars have different panels hp and so
i've read some decriptions and they all seem very similar to me...
are there roms based on ics ( im not talking about gb) that really differ from each other?
Have you had Humburgers from Mcdonald and Burger King, same ingredients but different taste.....
There are many tweeks and tunings make the Rom different and stable...some devs have got magic touch for making their Roms outstanding...
hmmm you mean to tell me that different roms may influence the battery lifetime and stability of the phone?

In one word - "YES".
I played with various ICS ROMS, and can say based on experience that they all differ somehow - mostly its tweaks which influence overall performance (benchmarks - mostly CPU and SD card related), battery life, stability (no Force Closures) and various features (Beats Audio, silent camera with better FPS and enhanced image quality, call recording, preinstalled apps, removed bloatware, etc).
I tryed many and can advise to install either Lite'ning ROM v3.1 (via Odin), or Resurrection Remix ROM v1.9.1 - I had both and now run Resurrection Remix ROM - very happy ;]].
My advice - check both and use any you prefer with Apex Launcher - best performance vs. battery.
Don't forget that its very much about someone's experience as a ROM cook - if you are 18 years old and messing for fun, or you are a young (or not) professional (or getting there) and already learned a lot via fixed mistakes...;]]
Hope it helps.
ive seen some atricals that change of karnel may also improve the battery life...
can i flash any karnel i want with the roms i curently use? and will it help? or the only thing i can do to improve my battery life, camera each.. is to change the rom?

Mostly yes if compatible .

you need the basics start with Better Battery Stats thread and app .
But you would be better off reading the basics first .

I'm running the exact same rom but with the NOVA launcher because it feels alot smoother in contrary to the apex launcher. For me the reason to go for a custom rom is mainly battery life and lots of customization abbilities. Removed bloatware fix alot of battery drains present in stock roms.
Kernel I'd something that is gonna control ur CPU power and volts that battery can provide so yes it has a great impact on how ur battery performs.and each ROM is different in it's style, performance, stability and Addons it has to offer

Do all Custom ROMS for all the positive features they may bring always result in less stabililty than a Stock ROM?
I imagine CM7 to be the best....seeing as he works for Samsung also. I certainly found it the best when I had the I9000/Galaxy. However looking at the CyanogenMod forum there are plenty of people raising issues with the builds (including 'stable' builds).
I really enjoy trying different ROMS usually but I am deliberately sticking with a rooted stock at the moment - and it has never froze, crashed or rebooted itself yet! I do miss fiddling with my phone though!
Thoughts/opinions appreciated.
Thanks

Yes.
(10 char)
If you want a stable rom, then use the one in my sig. Oxygen is amongst the most stable roms that are out here. It's almost bugfree, because the creater of the rom, Adam G is a perfectionist.
You have no touchwhizz, just stock android that works. If you are looking for a shiny rom, then this one is not for you. If you want a stable rom and an almost bug free rom, then this one is for you.
ps you won't find this rom on xda, because he does not want that anymore.
Samsung Galaxy SII
try this combination...
*CheckROM Revolution HD v3.1.1 (fast and lite)
*Speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-18-test8-CWM.zip (best battery life)

I don't know if you can say that. It has some coding from CM, drivers etc. But it is supposed to be a stock android rom, the way google intended it, with (almost) no CM stuff.
I got my Galaxy ace a half year ago .. and I tested nearly every rom / mod & theme .
but I am quite searching for a rom that has the best performance, the best speed and it should be very stable - without lags. It don't need to be themed - it can look like a stock rom.
Thx for your help xda-team ♥
Choose stock....like me, i know there will be more comment after me saying custom is better (of coz, they made it)
But until now no custom rom is stable...
I use stock wxks6 then convert to ext4, plus...cf-root kernel and lagfreeV2 script....all working well.
Owh, and now using miui launcher...cool

oh nice thank you for now . . . i will check that out
After having tried many.
The Rom custom of the TheMyth (devilsking) are the best.
always the same functionality as stock.
ICS Final hands down. After flashing some other roms and looking around, this rom is by far the most stable and fastest I've tried. Never had any problems with the rom and I've been using it ever since the Final version came out. The only problems I've had are with random apps and such, never with the rom itself. Got a champion right there ;D
Highly recommend it.

Hi,
I tested some ICS roms about two weeks ago but went back to GB checkrom v6 very quickly. It was laggy and not very responsive screen. So now I want a very smooth rom, good responsiveness. It should not be a Samsung bloated rom. So something AOSP based I guess. Is there anything you would suggest?
Thanks!

Don't be lazy. Make a nandroid backup of your phone so you can recover if something goes wrong or you don't like it, and try them yourself. Your phone, installed apps, and usage patterns will not be the same as anyone else's.
I will be surprised if this thread stays open for much longer.

I would strongly recommend Thebyani rom v3.9. v4.0 due shortly.

Hello everybody,
I just started this thread to which version of android i have to install in my phone Sony Ericsson live with Walkman WT19i
So the thing is im using stock Android 2.3.4 with firmware 0.62 unrooted and what are the possibilities of rooting
Is 2.3.4 rooting is good and mod some UI like this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162275 ) because i like the performance of Gingerbread or 4.0.4 ICS it as alot of features than GB but have some lag on it
What im saying what is the best android version in order to get Ultimate performance in my phone
Possibilities :
New UI
UI no lag
battery backup good
Good features and lots more
no lag on Games
I'm waiting for the good answer to conclude which is the best way...
again another way of asking for best rom
Dude I already told you about that and moreover you shouldn't ask this question and even the section you have posted is wrong.
All I can do is tell you about the ROMs but the best one will be the best that suits you.
Stock(+Custom) GB ROM: These are high on performance and made for gaming and simply are lagless. With some custom ROMs and great mods you can get great UI on your GB and can get ICS feel with GB performance in it.
Stock ICS ROM: Lots of bugs and lags but the UI is not bad but can be better. Also this ROM is really low on performance and gaming and is even loaded with bloatwares and if you are rooted then there will be something wrong with you if you are still using this.
Custom ICS ROM: You can get greater looks, more performance than stock ICS but you may lack a bit on performance(but better than stock ICS) since it is really difficult for any custom ROM also to match the performance of GB but most are stable and good enough for average use. Obviously you need root for this.
JellyBean ROM: Since sony hasn't released(and may never) a JB ROM for our phones so we don't even have an official kernel. Thus you need an unlocked bootloader which will obviously void your warranty. But JB roms have beautiful UI, nice animations and while using CM10 I didn't experienced much lags as such.
Now after reading this you can decide yourself which suits you the best and try different ROMs of it. But don't ever ask for best. Best of luck.
Best Regards,
AJ

thx
There is a TW Neat and a AOSP Neat. Seems you have the AOSP Neat.
Anyway just dirty flash your rom again and it will overwrite the kernel.

so confusing, so do i need the cm version or the stock version mate, so many versions it drives me nuts, so its xwms3 neatrom v6.4, is that cm version or stock of perfomence x mod?
i now understand that by stock they mean its a stock based rom not stock as in the default rom by samsung

The one you will keep is a matter of personal preference. On the Galaxy S2 I use the AOSP version. It is lighter and you get Android 4.4.4. I do not like or use any of the Samsung crapware.
For starters keep the kernel that comes with the rom. It is more than good enough.
The link is here: [ROM][Sep 25][4.4.4] I9100 AOSP NeatROM v8.0.

so youre saying with the performence x mod i can use stock or the cm version? im on jelly bean 4.1.2 and yeah i decided to stay with the apolo kernal
yeah i still dont understand even after reading all through the pages of the performence mod, some people say i need the stock version if using neat rom, im guessing because its a stock based rom but he says if its a stock firmware to use the stock rom wich is what i thought at first
currently im using the stock version of performence x mod but id just want to know for sure im using the correct one for the best experience, im using the apolo kernal that came with the lite version of neat rom, on jb 4.1.2, but now im thinking i need the cm version because he says this
This engine works on any devices with any rom, but there is a version for CM's rom and one for stock based firmwares. So, CMx.x, Lewa Os, MIUI, etc.
Install the stock version only on your stock firmware of your phone....
if your device don't have gingerbread or ICS officially, install the CM version (This also applies to the AOSP)
Stock means the Samsumg Touchwiz Rom that comes with phone. Could also be a custom modified TW rom like Omega or NeatROM.
AOSP based roms are Slim, Paranoid, CM, Liquid, Omni, ... and, of course, AOSP Neatrom.
To further clarify, there are two NeatROms:
- Samsung Stock Based: [ROM][Aug 26][XWMS3] NeatROM
- AOSP Based: [ROM][Sep 25][4.4.4] I9100 AOSP NeatROM (Based on Slim rom)

thx for the detailed explanation mate, by the way i just installed the neatrom version you suggested with kitkat 4.4.2, i think the one i was using was a bit out of date, i like how light it is, lol it literaly comes with nothing installed really, anyways so i take it this aosp neatrom will use the cm version of the performence x mod then?
That is correct. AOSP NeatRom with CM version of PurePerformance.
If I were you I would use the rom for a few days before applying the mod. That would allow you to really feel if it will make a difference and if it is worth using it.

ah ok thx for the advice, im kinda not likin this one though mate, its a bit to bare for me, for a start i cant find the power save toggle no more lol, also it removed the default samsung galaxy music and video player wich i really liked and cant seem to get back, ive looked and cant find the stock one anywhere, there the 2 main things bothering me, i like to get rid of as much bloatware as possible. because then you can just have the stuff you want, but the stock music and video player were pretty decent
one other thing i went and installed the latest apolo kernal too, its the one for kitkat, had to update my gpu mali driver to install it, i just want the stock sgs2 music and video player back mainly now and ill be good
Samsung apps rely on Touchwiz framework. You can not run them under an AOSP rom.
If you feel you must have them, you have to use a TW rom, could be the TW neat rom.
I use these apps:
Video Player: MX Player - XDA thread MX Player
Music Player: Poweramp Music Player
The best apps to extend your battery life:
[APP][4.0+] Greenify
[APP][2.3+] LeanDroid - The most efficient battery saver
Have fun!

Glad to be able to help.
In this case I am not sure what to do. The S 2 I have is beeing used by my son and he out for two weeks.
Usually AOSP roms will allow you to suppress or change the network name. It is a status bar option called "Carrier Label" or something similar. I know it is not the best solution but it is what I can think of at this moment.
If possible please post a screenshot with the place where tmobile name is showing.
Not a problem mate apparently T-Mobile are same as virgin or something like that I read. Phone works fine. I put the kh3 modem on it too so that's probably why.
also you were rite about trying it without the performence mod, i did a tuntutu test before and after and with it, it lags like hell and i get 15000 and without it i get 17181 wich from reading everyone elses is pretty good, though i know benchmarks arnt accurate, its in game you get the results not these tests, but it can play gta san andreas well and thats what i wanted from it anyways, cant afford one of the newest ones
and theres not many games out that take advantage of the expensive ones yet anyways, games are gonna get good on these phones though thats for sure, maybe ill think about getting a better model when theres loads of decent games i cant play
atm i can play real trigger 2, real racing 3, though real trigger 2 on lowest settings for a smooth performence, gta 3 , gta san andreas overall pretty chuffed with this phone so far
oh and thx for the poweramp recomendation mate, its better than the samsung one, one last question, is it possible to get one of the stock weather widgets at all? can you not switch to the touchwiz launcher or something?
