what about sgs2 f1 nexus? you have used that rom ... Or CM9?? how these roms work??
They work just fine, with few bugs like TV out issues and stuff.
Battery life is little less than stock, though I get 12 hours mostly.
So its up to you. Cm9 will get there eventually, but remember Cm9 is not rc'ed yet.
of cause original is better than custom.. since custom are still living with bug =)

Basically,if you want a more powerful phone,its obviously the samsung galaxy sII..but,then again ,pure AOSP experience will be found only on Google Nexus..I am using a GSII with Slim AOSP ..& trust me,its as smooth and as battery friendly it can get..Yeah, Custom Roms do.come.with bugs and stuff, but they are eventually fixed..some stay on..but its kind of irrelavent to me...and thats my opinion. So,choose wisel

go for gs2
why? because it has a beast gpu that will be good for 2 years easily
gnexus doesnt have a very good gpu
you will soon be left behind in 3d games
i am sure team hacksung will continue giving us aosp on gs2
I'm using f1 galaxy nexus. I like it.

I have CheckROM v4 and i'm very happy because the phone is fast, stable and well optimized... ICS is coming soon... I think you should buy a galaxy s2 and flash this rom... It's fantastic!!

What did you expect? They have to design consistent software across their product line.
XPlay-Swype
oh, was it meant to look anything like how it does on Nexus or is that a Nexus only deal, coz all icons are the same, dial pad etc.... ALL THE SAME
That is one of the reason I am still on GB ... and moved to MIUI GB now mate..
They dont want a change on their treditional touchwiz look.....but salute them for making the hacking very simple....lets find our own AOSP...
i'm on slim ics now.. it's pure google way.. but me too think ics gives nothing new.

Should use F1 ROM if you want pure nexus feel.

You have to produce a model that is workable and usable by your customer base and their IQ .

anyone that expected samsung ics to be like stock ics is an idiot
ICS on gs2 is sooo disappointing. I'm on XWPL7 with Sayid kernel v3.1rc5. Looks almost the same and battery sucks and i get freezes and random restarts... wifi is flakey... I guess we'll be the guinea pigs for now
ICS for SGS2 sucks...
IQ? IQ has nothing to do with anything. IQ testing is and always has been a failure for testing ones intellect
Whiners go back to lovely GB and flash all the kernels you want to make the already fast phone fly and
Run quadrant and be happy

Hello,
Is there a good 'slim' rom for the galaxy tab ? I went to this website but i realy dont know if sone of these can be installed, so if anyone has an idea what i should download plz help me out if it is possible.
I want this custom rom because i think my tab is now way to slow. I want to get the maximum out of it,

I would definitely recommend Galaxy Task 14 "slim". There is also a "fat" version that has some bloatware. It is the most complete and stable rom for the tab 10.1 as of now. Until sammy releases the ICS camera drivers of course..
just grab the slim version from here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340064
EDIT: I did not notice "ics" in the subject, there is no slim ics version. Task is the best custom.
ICS is already slim anyways. It doesn't have anything.
I think he means pure ics with no bloat. AOKP and CM9 put gaudy stuff in there ROMS. But with no camera on ICS yet I just can't use it.

No i just want a custom mod and overclock it and as fast as possible and with camera
Well there is no ICS ROM with camera. Period.
I just switched to the task 15 ROM and it seems to be the most stable. I need my camera for video chat.

You will probably get more response if you post this in the Nexus section.
Some Mod can close this plz.?

I have a SGSII. I can test the Nexus and personally I won't change for it. Ok, the update can be faster, but if you can put CM10 if you want the last version (yes, with some bugs, but they make a excellent job).
Only my opinion...
Nexus' biggest disadvantage: no microSD slot!!
Sent from my GT-I9100
in galaxy nexus 5mp camera. in sgs2 8mp camera
there is no sdcard slot in galaxy nexus.
I choose sgs2 and I don't want change it for galaxy nexus
Have a look at them both here

Personally would not have a Nexus over SGS2 regardless of updates

Yeah but the s2 is a better device, and it's already on jb. So idk what you mean by fast updates?

Reconsider...
may sound like a good "upgrade" but really I promise it isn't... Galaxy Nexus is same guts with a lesser camera... a more clunky feel in your pocket and lacks gorilla glass.... the development that is going on in the xda community here is far superior to anything you will find stock from the nexus... before you jump ship... give the team's work a try.

updates from google, we have cyanogen with fantastic roms but lacks close sources like video calls and nice camera app like on stock samsung roms
i think the updates to use all the features from the phone are better in nexus devices

u are right, the camera on S2 is amazing, but i have to ask u this, do u have an GNEX? and why the question? im aiming google experience and not the score on quadrant, i know the cpu is the same speed, i know tha S2 as a better gpu but i dont play games
i just dont want to regret after i make the trade
As the other people said, galaxy s2 is better, if you want a fast phone then flash resurrection remix rom

Do you guys think that the SGS4 Google Edition ROM could work on our SGS3? Or at least include some new sources and stuff that could improve AOSP ROMS on our device like CM10.1?

I hope so, I'm dying to get stock android on my S3 with proper 'official support' and without all those S-Crap "features". *Cross Fingers"
On the other hand, I really doubt it; with the stock version of the S4 selling about $650+ ... (That, before some XDA-Magic applied to that ROM )
Highly unlikely. The Google edition S4 is qualcomm and our S3's are exynos..

A few reasons:
-Great specs
-Cheap
-I can completely wipe it out and throw something awesome as CM (Or any custom flavour, for that matter)

Not a chance it will work.. they're different phone with different hardware.
