can someone make one for me to flash please? this stock one is not doing it for me
hmm you could always try upgrading to ICS bunch of great icons in those roms and the reason i say upgrade is because it seems like everyone is on ICS and not GB anymore
Not everyone...lol...try making a custom one from uot kitchen?

You can't compare those two roms. Villain is 100% working while CM has bugs and some hardware is not working
Forget about Villain, it's not that great, just another samsung stock-based ROM. Go with CM7 or MIUI or GalnetMIUI. Much better roms. If you absolutely want a samsung stock based rom, go with LeoMar's Revolution ROM, it's by far the best and most customizable one.
The only reason I'm thinking of villain is because it seems like the only one which is pretty much complete...
Also I'm more of a simplicity kinda person, don't like too much going on theme wise etc.. suppose i'll research those 4 you said thanks
You could try Cognition 1.51. Very fast and stable rom that almost never shows fc`s.
Cognition 4life dude. Best battery and if you flash the gingerbread theme you can get a nice mix between stock and touchwiz

Aosp ftw. (even though I <3 MIUI)
im happy with the exynos
my TW roms favourites is Villain and Cognition.
but Cyanogen is on my phone! CM ftw!
and lastly dude, these 2 are not in the same league.. you cant compare these~~

Cognition is awesome. Stock feel but some great fixes. Been running on my phone for a couple of weeks and don't think I have seen a force close.
I am a huge fan of SensatioN ROM. My Bank of America app force closes every now and then but I don't mind because I don't want it open unless I'm using it! It also comes with a badass feature of completely eliminating the TouchWiz Samsung base and customizable bottom scroll bar for home apps, leaving the homescreens open for widgets and other apps (except there's only 3 homescreens). But it is definitely a great ROM in my opinion. I loved CM7 when I had my HD2, and from what I saw of Villain I did not like it, but CM7 is awesome, although like someone else posted there are nagging issues with it.
CM7.

GALAXY S2 . . . . . .
COGNITION 1.5.1
Ninphetamine 2.1.3
Baseband XXKI1
regarding cognition..now that is one to go for..smooth fast and battery efficient..also try CheckRom..themes and many more into that rom..but the one i keep going back to is BatistaRom...it has to be one of my favourites
Ps regarding VillainRom nothing against the rom nothing against Pulser but just giving my opinion what i think of the rom. Cheers
Must say though due to it being an upgrade and based on new firmware its smooth like hell.....Great battery saver to....Plus you can theme this rom the way you want and still have the basics of the stock rom.
Its hard choice but like JJEgan would say to find out the best rom you best try them all yourself to make your own opinion. if there was one best rom everyone would be using that one.

Anyone know of a Desense GB rom built off the January OTA? Just wanting to dabble with themeing again, using one as a base. Latest one I can find is one of Scott's, and that's built off the release rom.
That's probably the last you will find. Most everyone has moved on to ICS.
Well crud. I may have to play around with re-basing then and/or desensing Cleanrom 1.7.5
Don't see why people stay on GB considering the quality of the latest ICS builds. Best move you will ever do.. Seriously! But to each their own.

I was actually going to say the same thing. Especially if you're a fan of Scott's CleanROM. CleanROM ICS Developer edition is a pretty solid DeSensed ROM.

I like to dabble. Didn't I mention that in my OP? Not going to use the rom as a daily. I already have a nandroid of ICS.

I was going to say Ineffabilis v1.4 I have been using it without any problems. Good, solid GB ROM, and I stripped it clean of any sense application (except the camera )
I'm just waiting patiently for the 'official' ICS update or s-off... whichever comes first =/ But for now, Ineffabilis it is

It's not Hate for GB. I had GB on my DX for the last year of it's life. So I'm over it especially since ICS has many more benefits than GB.

I do agree with you in that aspect. Found it not to be worth my time to mess around with theming again when the stuff looks good as is(Both ICS & GB).
Edit. started a new topic
is it possible for me to flash gb radios with an ics firmware/hboot?
If not what radios do you reccomend for ics? the ones from the latest leak dont seem that great.
yes you are able to you.

ok thanks. I've been on gb forever because of sweet battery life but with chads ics kernel coming out soon im thinking of upgrading and the last time i used ics the radios werent as good as gb imo
I know that the best ROM would be based on personal preference. What I'm looking for is the most fully functional ROM. I've been trying different ROMs but I work so much I don't have the time I used to. Any insight is welcome and greatly appreciated.

Roms
In my humble opinion, if your talking about the most features it would be the Charmaleon ROM, your able to theme quite a few things because of a tweak add-on he has in the rom. It's on the third page of ROM developement.

Haha just a little welcome humor. ViperROM is pretty customizable.

I'll second ViperRom or MeanROM, if you're looking at ICS ROM's. With JB ROM's the verdict is still out, but Viper's base JB ROM works pretty well, as does MeanBean (the ROM I'm currently running). Not to say these are by any means the best, just a handful of the few I've tried since coming to the EVO LTE. It's all subjective, really, since what's best for one user may not be best for another.

Cool. I think I tried it in the beginning before I started this new job. That was back over the summer though. I'm sure it's probably different. I'll add it to the to do list. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I want to stick with a JB ROM but I travel so much with my job to places with horrible reception or Hotels with no wi-fi and then I get fc's or I start to loose certain functions and I have to go back to an older ROM. I think I'm going to designate a memory card to keep a few good ROMs on when I travel to nip it. I haven't tried Viper's base. I think that'll be my next ROM.

I'll put a third vote in for the Mean series. I've tried MIUI and CM10 recently, but I always end up coming back to the beauty of Sense. The dev on MeanRom and MeanBean is very active and has made it very simple to update to his newest version with an OTA updater.
That said, I am currently checking out the rEVOLTEd rom, with JB. I was particularly interested in how the dev used the AOSP vanilla version of Recent Apps switcher rather than the Sense version... The camcorder is not currently working, but it should be fixed in the next version. Other than that, it seems to be running very well.
Overall, there really are some great options out there for JB and ICS Roms.
meanbean is where its at!!

I've tried revolted. Good rom but I had trouble with my GPS signal and I use navigation often for my job. I've seen Mean ROM a lot so I'm downloading Mean Bean and Vipers JB ROM. Thanks for your input.
Thanks
Just want to say thanks to everyone who gave their opinions and input in this thread. I flashed Mean Bean and loved it. Problem was I flashed it wrong. Didn't upgrade to 3.15 firmware first. In the process of trying to do that I bricked, fixed, unlocked/ unrooted, upgraded, unlocked, rooted, and finally reflashed Mean Bean. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I've been so use to dropping roms on a sd and flashing I forgot one of the most important things about XDA. READ Instructions before flashing new roms. Thanks again to everyone who commented and gave advice. You helped me find exactly what I was looking for.

You Sir are absolutely correct. My favorite so far.
I tried both meanbean and stock w/ goodies and I really like the fluidity of meanbean. However, the battery life seemed like it was better on stock w/ goodies. I also used rom cleaner w/ the no-sense option on both of the roms so i'm not sure if that contributed to better speed or battery life. I decided to stick w/ meanbean! no fc or errors for me and everythings been running great!

Well I've been on mean Rom v6.5 for along time now I 100% love it, I don't care for Jb at all! I like ics. But heres the thing I'm looking for a low mb Rom w/o sense but I want everything to work! Or 99.9% of it.. I don't like aosp, Jb, an cm. what I'm looking for is an ics Rom w/o sense. Is there anything like this? Or other ideas I'm missing?
Thanks an Advance
