ics rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello. sorry for spaming..but i cant find something interesting..
in want a stable fast and good performancing rom. must be smoother than butter
can you say me a rom which is samsung ics based ?

I use WanamLite, but also liked VK rom. Might also want to take a look at FoxHound. All are Samsung-based ICS roms. My preference is WanamLite though...smooth and food battery life with no bugs.

Rootbox is based on 4.0.4 AOKP, not Samsung as requested in OP

Ah sorry, must be going crazy today. Well maybe you can dual boot with it using siyah kernel

Just try the ROMs yourself. Asking for best ROM or for ROM suggestions is against the rules because nobody can answer the question for you.

Try a aosp rom such as slimrom or koud aosp. You didnt have to make a entire thread just for this. You couldve simply searched the android dev section :L

use WanamLite Rom until kernel source is here then u will have a lot of choices(cm9-akop..etc)
WanamLite very good rom and very light its 235 m.b rom without sammy crap
Ive looked at the roms mentioned and wanted some opinions rather than flashing each one and yes i did have to make a new thread for it. Too many people on here bash people for asking questions if you think the thread is stupid why did you look and comment just ignore it.

This is a good thread. I'm still stuck on 2.3.4 KH3 and was waiting for the official ICS to be released. Now that it has, I'm really turned off by how bloated TW is on it. These posts are good, keep them coming.
Bloated? Ok, I don't get that comment... doesn't seem bloated, seems green and orange! Pongster style!

Mate I use AOKP and CM9, both pretty similar except AOKP has a little more customization. I really can't go back to a Sammy rom now and can't wait for them to pull their finger out and release sources!

IMHO Bezke Ultra ICS 4.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393569)
Dialer, SMS, Contacts, Gmail, Lockscreen, Music App.
The only problem is that in the 4.0 release they have the Samsung hubs and apps, for a perfect AOSP experience I recommend to remove it with Titanium...

[Q] Resurrection Remix ics v2.3 or CM9???

Hi, I on Resurrection Remix ics v2.3 and it's very smooth and fast, but I don't know if I would like more CM9...
which of the two you prefer? why?

As above, but LenAsh's link is broken. (should be to this page)
Also, isn't Resurrection Remix just a variant of CM9?
Link fixed
Resurrection Remix is based on AOKP and CM9 is based on AOSP. I believe AOKP is AOSP based with some tweaks. CM9 would have better battery performance and a lot more support, however there is a new nightly released every day and if you don't like updating so often, it may not be for you.

P.S. I think this thread will be closed soon, explicitly no ”which ROM is better thread" stickied in Q&A.

New to the i777

I came from an Atrix 2 with about 2 months of iOS usage in between. I'm currently stock 4.0.3 rooted with Cherrypicker V 3.1. I was wondering what some people considers to be the better ROM or combination of different mods. I helped a lot and became a senior member from the Atrix 2 thread but I've been gone for a while. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

That rom is unbelievably fast. If you want to run a "stock" rom, that is the one. I like to keep a stock rom on my work S2 and this one has been awesome.

I have tried half a dozen or so different roms, and the one that I keep coming back to is Shostock2. His latest release (4.0) is very stable, but it still needs some features added in that were in some of his previous releases. If you are looking for a balance of features, get Shostock2 (3.1.2).

Personally I liked Task's AOKP for some time, but recently flashed CM9 - and probably will stick with it until more stable Jelly Beaner...for stock - ShoStock is my choice
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
You came at a pretty good time. Most ROMs are really stable and Jellybean is just about to hit. What I like to do is play around with different ROMs and see which one I like best. It's what makes Android fun! For a ROM recommendation, I'd have to say SHOstock (if you want that stock TW feel) or task's AOKP (stock Android, plenty of customization)
I know everyone's already said those two but they really are good ROMs. Of course there are other good ones too, so go explore

As myself and Red5 maintain, the best ROM is the one that works for you. It may take a few hours, but give a few a try, and see which YOU like the best.
As the general rule in this board, "vs" threads are no-go, so I am going to close this here (our board was a mess before this rule, with masses of "vs" threads popping up everywhere)...

Which is best CM10 or STOCK JB ?

There is no best ROM and asking this is against the forum rules.
There is CM10 and ROMs based on CM10. Flash and see which is best for your use.

CM10 is still in nightly builds so you won't get some of your components working and still will have lots of bugs, Stock jb is currently better... But still i wont tell you to use it, try stable roms like revolt which is based on CM10.
Try rephrasing your question like "which rom is advised or suggested CM10 or stock JB? "

Getting user opinion ain't the same thing and avoids a lot of hassle and gives a better understanding for example if I and several people suggest a to friend to get a DROID instead of the closed Apple iOs i am doing him a lot of favor, saving him time and money.

Between the two CM10 is faster but graphics processing might be slightly less buggy in the stock, anyway the current stock jb is a leaked version and it won't be the same as an official stock version. I recommend you use CM9 stable if looking for a great gaming experience. Or if you are insistent on JB then look at other custom roms like the one I mentioned before.

Project Butter ?

is Project Butter working on leak Xxlsj Rom or any Custom rom ?
can you guys please clarify if is working or not ?
Any custom rom support project butter ?
Project butter is working on the leaked XXLSJ rom and all the custom roms based on XXLSJ (like NeatRom v4.0, Wanamlite v13, etcetera).
Project butter isn't working on CM10 nightlies and all the CM10 based roms...

To be fair this is a leaked ROM. Samsung don't even intend us to use it. We should wait for the official build. I'm sure there will be a big difference

Yes, I read then whole thing. Its on the cm10 thread as well. Not the whole story I guess, but enough to understand Samsung is just trolling us and have no intention of helping. They constantly promise source codes and then release some outdated crap which we don't even need. Either they are retarded or just doing this for laughs. Either way its these guys who are keeping the s2 alive coz Sammy dev team is too busy smoking pot. I too am on chameleon ROM due to the bugs on cm(thanks to Sammy and their top secret source codes)

CM10(non vsync) with Siyah kernel is butttterrrryyyy! no lag whatsoever. Samsung one has microlag. stuttering, this discussion won't ever come to a conclusion but I find official builds to be smoother than vsync one. Try it with Siyah and your mind will be blown! Samsung one is smoother in some areas but lags in some and texture distortion. Gfx are messed up.

Most buttery experience allround official Cm10 (not 10.1) with Siyah, or Chameleon ROM based on JB, it is smooth but lags sometimes.
I used to love vsync but now it's no more that smooth.
Edit: Ah, fu*k it, I'm off.
