Hi,
First off, galaxy s2 is still an amazing phone compared to the beasts released this year, fulfills every need at great speed and life.
I would recommend to you the Hyperdroid rom, it is simply the best where speed, life, response and its simplicity matters. I am a very happy user, thanks to Hyperdroid team, it wouldn't have been possible for me not to worry about its battery life and yet get great performance. It's based off official Samsung rom, so everything is guaranteed working. Best combination would be Hyperdroid rom + Redpill kernel which is also made by the same dedicated team, props to them. You won't be disappointed
Regarding the notification light, yes it very much possible, if I'm not wrong it requires a custom kernel like redpill...or any other of your choice. From the play store, type in BLN notification.
Samsung Galaxy SII Xtreme ED
Xtreme Energy-Xtreme Power to Live
Impossible made Possible
I recommend the "MIUI v4" Rom..ist smooth and beautifull...and there are updates every week
Yes but I don't like the Samsung touchwiz style interface in fact I hate it, also I would like to have an app drawer which knocks miui off the list.
any more suggestions

Why not try some other launcher, such as Go Launcher, ADW, etc, in place to pick a full ROM?
You mean I can put adw. On top of miui, I'm gonna give that a try. Also is there any way to make a log of all the websites visited through any browser and have that remotely accessible?

I can recommend you AndyX Rom
I'm currently using v14 of this rom on SGS2 and for me it's just what I need
Many apps/settings included in this rom makes using the phone much faster and easier
It also includes Apex lancher mentioned by indresh88 which I guess is the best lancher

Hi Guys,
At present i am using unNamed rom v1.2.0 due to some problems with my sms message (weird sound) i like to change it to Cognition rom how good is this rom or else which rom is very stable without problem could you guys suggest me. Thanks in advance.
The best way to find out is try them all. How the phone runs is based on your setup. What runs good for me and my setup might not be so peachy for you. I've tried most and prefer UnNamed or MIUI, but that's just me.

Cognition 777 replaced Perception.
Cognition is pretty stable, if that's what you're asking. Just read the comments under each ROM, preferably the recent ones, and see what people are saying about it. Even if a ROM has some instability, developers are quick enough to fix the problem, but yeah, it's a matter of preference.
I think Cognition is one of the best ROMs there is and 100% the best for battery life. All the ROMs really have the same features the only difference is a theme (if the ROM is themed) and an option or two added. This ROM is based off the I9100 (international GS2) and for some reason its has better battery life.
Hi all! I really need a rom with fully-working camera, + fast, stable, bug-free, for adolescent daughter, so I ask your suggestions and your knowledge of this phone.
My own phone is Optimus p500, got it modded to my liking, etc. I got the Ace for the ado daugther in the house 2 days ago. She is a facebook, pictures and sms addict. No overclocking or games for her is needed. She needs a simple, stable, bug-free and fast rom. It needs to not bug or FC so she can impress her friends.. Today I have read through many pages and threads of roms, and I had a quick look at what is available. Ics sunday and cm7.2 rc0 by lates would seems among the most promising available.
A working camera is definitely a must for her. If needed I could always get lg camera and try it, as suggested in some roms to see if I can get no dark videos and LED working. [ I'm wondering if camera gives trouble, nobody tried to get stock samsung camera ported? ] Is there a fail-proof, noob-proof 3rd party camera, or is it the LG one, or is there any rom fail-proof and noob-proof, stable, fast and bug-free? [ I realize nothing is noob-proof, but she need stable, fast, bug-free, a good camera with LED flash working, and facebook. ] If there is no bug-free camera rom I know she'd prefer the laggy stock rom because a working camera is essential for her. I'd hate it for her to be " stuck with stock " though.
Also, is there any roms, options or ways to get 3rd party apps to login using facebook credentials ? Most weird issue. Might be a deal-breaker on any rom for noob adolescent daughter..
Any suggestions? I believe you all know this phone way better than me. I could guide you for my own but I'll appreciate the tour guides for the Ace

Stock ROM?
I
Srsly, the most [relatively] bug-free, stable ROM for the Ace would definitely be Samsung's own.
CM7 for Ace has some minor glitches and bugs ere and there, although its reportedly faster. But since your daughter is not too technical (based on my speculation of your description), having too many or too little options isn't a concern of hers.
You can try a custom stock ROM, of course. It (should have) the same stability, but smoother. The most well recieved custom stock ROM here might be fla.sh's X2, codeROM, and TheMyth ICS. But the first two are dead projects with no active developers.
This post was sent from hell.
Gingerreal is the only option plus facebook issue was there own issue. Its not related with roms. Its fixed with newest version. Everything is working perfect on gingerreal. So you can go with that.

CM!
Why? (This is just my opinion, i don't wanna pi** anybody off with this.)
Stock has some samsung-only apps like "AllShare" etc. but i dont care about these.
And it has its own contacts browser which supports quick call/sms by swiping over the contact. i really love that feature, but the pros of cm are alot more:
- its looks better (menu effects from ics etc.)
- it has awesome customization options
- it has the theme chooser <3
- and the most important thing: it defo runs faster/better!
i prefer stock based roms

i love cm but can`t install in my galaxy pro,no custom flash recovery anywhere
Stock with CF-Root b84.

CM7 More speed and better Performance and better Settings

(Custom) Stock. Full stability and more comfortable for daily usage.

stock FTW
for me its modified stock... Ive tried loads of roms and so far omega rocks my world and my phone....
there's some kind of magic when you revert from CM to stock... you know... all working as they should, you have the assurance that your phone won't give up on you. The thing is though after a few minutes on stock and having tried CM you miss lots of things which I can't be bothered to mention now.
So CM for me!
yea...once i use cm and tried back to stock ( based rom) it feels rather odd ...and limited =(
Good morning.
Ive been using my i9300 for about two months now. Im a former iPhone 4 user. I have noticed that the i9300 despite the fact that it has quad-core and 1GB RAM, is not at all smooth :/ I always get lag in the Homescreen and in the settings etc etc. I've tried like 20 ROMS or so :/ am i doing something wrong here? E.g. scrolling between homepages can get laggy! That wasnt supposed to happen right?\
Im currently at MIUI 2.9.14 ROM. Maybe im doing something wrong when i flash a new ROM?
What are the steps?
I delete the whole internalSD, i perform a data/factory reset via CWM, i delete cache and Dalvik Cache. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

The rom you are on has problem of memory leak.
Just use a samsung-based rom. Your trouble will be fixed.

Yeah try that combo. Wanam or Omega Jelly Bean XXDLI8 leaks are very smooth.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
there are plenty of custom roms out there,
most of the JB leaks are much smoother than the ICS roms i have been using.( i am sure there are ICs roms that are smooth as well , just that i have not tested before. )
currently on Omega v23 and happy with it, no lags. you may just have to spend some time experimenting which one is to your preference.
Sir, I suggest you try out Omega ROM (ICS or JB) doesn't really matter, cause Omega is really really stable. I'm not prompting whatsoever because I'm on MIUI 2.9.14 too with hardcore speed mod kernel and it is perfectly great.
One advice, try not flashing so many ROMs at one go because it might cause system error such as connectivity to wifi or packet data. Stick to one you really like.
Edit: Do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware on PC Odin and root again to remove any bad 'history' and the lag too.
Hope I did manage to help!
Great day

If you want a rapid ICS rom then use Foxhound 1.4.3, it is quite simply the best ICS rom there is, and believe me i've tried them all.
Couple it with Galaxsih kernel @normal and apex launcher not much comes close to it.
As for Jelly bean, take your pick but just know that there are no final builds as of yet and all of them are leaks, meaning that kernel support is limited.
Thanks everyone ive never flashed back to stock before i used custom rom and i think that May be it like one of you suggested. About that miui rom and hardcore speed mod. It works on any MIUI rom or only on specific ones? If it does work on every miui where can i find it? I really like miui

You are welcome mate hmm what do you mean?? I'm using hardcore speed mod on my MIUI rom and I don't experience any lag (Provided you use apex launcher PRO too) I even have great battery life (8 hrs of hardcore using; with wifi or packet data On). You can definitely flash speedmod on your MIUI 2.9.14 and you will know what I mean.
Omega ICS on the other hand, is really stable and having that 'stock-ish' feel. But on MIUI, you know we rule the game.
Edit: If you wanna try out Omega, do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware (It will unroot device) then root again then try out Omega. It is really your decision.
But again, you know who rule the game with MIUI. Haha.
Great day ahead.

To get rid of the memory leak, go to ES Explorer, give it root and write permissions (in its options), then go to system/bin/ and delete kiesexe. You won't be able to use Kies anymore, but it'll kill the leak because it's caused by that process.
you should use the stock TW without scrolling wallpaper mod =p
I just prefer you to flash DLI18 stock JB from sammobile, wipe everything before flash, and I would prefer you to change animation scale and duration scale from 1 to 0.5,

Just a suggestion.... If you really like MIUI, but want a smoother and more stable ROM, why don't you flash the latest CM10 build, and then install MiHome Launcher? MiHome Launcher is the default launcher used in MIUI and it comes with an optional MIUI lockscreen as well. Once both are installed, it's virtually indistinguishable from a full MIUI ROM. Plus, it'll have the speed and smoothness of Jelly Bean with the stability of CyanogenMod (or as stable as a pre-release build can be).
Anyway, it was just a thought. Good luck to ya'!

I need to ask what does it takes to make SGA-i running stable,lag free and worth keeping.
I tried almost every thing (roms,kernels,tweaks and mods) even CM but the overall performance was not convincing.
So:
-what the ultimate combination of rom and tweaks should I use in order to make 100% use of SGA-i?

Well, there is no best Rom in XDA. Try out different roms. See which ones you like and see their performance.
Memory Wise: partition your SD card and if you want, increase internal memory with a cronmod script.
I'm pretty sure their are different scripts to increase performance and definetly work...
And kernal wise, they can either come with a rom or you can flash it seperatly.

Sell the phone. Put some money on it and buy another phone without a Broadcom chip!
Stock rom without any tweak is Lag free! With pureperformance tweaks its pretty usable. And stock based custom roms we have they are good and stable. CM7 has bugs but performance is top!
But as i understand you want a S3 mini performance from Ace-i which is impossible! So changing your phone is only option left...

yes CM7 has great performance and makes our device even near to higher devices,but right now it is useless, and this was the last solution for me!
I came to a conclusion that whatever we do to this device,no thing changes because it has severe hardware limitations.
So you are right changing it is the only solution but right now I have to keep it because I have no money and the prices in my country are very very very high

My personal Opinion: I use Touchwiz Ressoruction. You can look at the Thread for that in the dev section. It is a nice and smooth rom with the look of S3 (It has Rafael.Baugis Kernal). This is only my opinion. I respect all the other Devs who make amazing Roms, Tweaks and Kernals. :beer:

but one last thing, Iam struggling to play youtube flv which I downlowded in my device..can anyone suggest a solution!!
