[Q] What is best ROM for SII ?

I have sold my Optimus 2X today and bought S II.
Which ROM is best considering performance, stability, power saving ?
Best ROM threads are subjective since many variables over battery life... Same with Radio since will depend on so many variables...
Best thing to do is take your time to read ROM threads and make a backup of ROM using then flash away find what ROM/Radio suits you best.
On that note thread closed.

Which ROM for which purpose?

Which roms (or rom families, really) are best for which purposes? I know some are designed to be fast and lightweight, while others go for the richest user experience, or other specialized purpose/situation.
My question is how can I find out the aim of the various roms?
The rom threads focus mostly on features provided and what rom family (if any) they based it on. Since I have no idea the aim of the original rom family (aokp, cm, miui, etc.) it's hard to decide which one is right for me.
Which player do you have?

Stock ROMs, which most of the customs ROMs out there are based on, are probably the most stable but the performance won't be as good.
CM7 and CM9 are slim and super fast, while MIUI, which is Cyanogen-based, has a bit more eye candy at the cost of performance. AOKP is very similar to CM9, except as far as I know the team has added many tweaks and features to make the experience more pleasant. Both are good choices if you're looking for ICS.
Hope this clears up some of the questions you may have
Thanks, Klin. That's exactly the sort of info I'm looking for.
and I'm running the USA 5.0, fgcu. It was either this or an ipad, and avoiding itunes was worth the extra $20 (ipods were on sale that week).
If you are looking to install a rom, I recommend what I have listed down below. The dev of the rom is currently updating it to 2.3.6 and I can't wait for it. It will deffinitely fix the wifi drop bug and a slightly better Gingerbread version. You do need to install a custom rom though and the one below is also a good one too.

This was my rom of choice back when I was running GB. In my opinion it is the most stable rom available for the Player 5.0. This rom is pretty fast and light as it is based on a stock GB rom.
I would also recommend this rom as it is also very stable.
For general use I would say use GB as everything works, but you can also get ICS roms if you want but all of the ICS roms in the development section have pretty major issues e.g. the camera does not work. Take a look in the development section and read the user comments/reviews/bug reports

ROM of the week

Hi everyone,
Since there are tons of ROMs for our great SGA, I would like to suggest the concept of ROM of the week.
This would consist in posting your oppinions about which is the best ROM for you, what do you like the most and why others should try it.
I will be reading as many posts as I can, and every Sunday I'll choose which are the 3 favorite ROMs based on what you guys think.
This should be the format:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of the ROM (link to its thread)
Pros: stability, battery, smoothness, etc...
Cons: bugs, errors, FCs, ...
Other thoughts...
------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you guys like the idea and make this become a sticky thread someday!
I will start:
SGSII JB ROM v10.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453165
Pros: Very very stable. Smooth, no lags at all. Normal battery life as it's based on stock. Nice SGSII theme. 14 toggles and extended power menu.
Cons: Based on DDKQ8, not really a con, but there are newer stock Roms already.
It's really worth a try. If combined with PSN kernel, one of my favorite Roms.
I'm sorry, but every comparison thread is a no no in my eyes.
Thread closed.

[Q]Software question

Hey,right now I have the latest Wanamlite rom (v5.8) and the latest Syah kernel.I think the Galaxy S3 is an exceptional phone with stock rom/kernel but it shoul be even better with custom roms and kernels wich have tweaks to improve the bad things found on stock.Right now I fell that the phone is not so good how it should be. It is so smooth but it have lags when launching apps or even Contacts,Messages or DialPad.Also, some games that were working fine on older phones are lagging and stuttering on the S3.What's the cause and how I can fix this ?
A good combo of rom/kernel for performance ? Please don't tell me that I should test and see which one suites me best. I want some opinions. Im going for performance>appearence.
Please test them out for yourself
This will be viewed as a best Rom thread, and because everyone's usage is different the only way of finding out what suits you is to try them out
Thread closed as its a best ROM thread.

Poll :best ROM for this godly phone

Hello friends .
There has been many polls regarding best roms , kernels etc etc etc
I think people who follow XDA and use custom roms are generally the people who are either not satisfied with stock experience or they want to tweek user interface , functionality and other aspects.
But I being from the first category of people , who wants only performance, battery and only key aspects of the phone seeks a ROM which can satisfy my hunger for stability .
I am sure there wil be many people here who wish to know the best rom for this phone for everyday use .
Key points I seek in a ROM -
1) a nice performance when playing heavy games like asphalt 9
2) a battery back up which can give sot 10 hours or more may be
3) a good camera app support
4) android pie
5) regular system updates

Just use miui.
Voted for OOS.. ??
ANYWAYS.. all the things you're looking for are all present in MIUI 10 GLOBAL STABLE.. hehehehe..
any ROM with good notch control? Especially per-app pre-configurable. Everything else is just depended on personal usage and custom kernels can change their behavior as well
"best" is subjective and the poll/thread is in the wrong forum.
XDA and custom ROMs exist to give us end users options, not to decide which ROM is best. It is very disrespectful to the developers that have spent hours every day to develop these awesome ROMs. The whole fun in flashing custom ROMS is to find out which ROM fits your needs, which ROM fits my needs. It is not a contest, it is development. It says it right there in the name of the site. XDA developers. Flash and find your "best" rom. Have a nice day.
The best rom for me is MIUI 10 GLOBAL.STABLE..
???
It easily bested my kirin 980 in sheer performance particularly in gaming. ????
Stop asking for the best ROM (for battery, for performance or any other criteria), it doesn't exist. If there was one true best ROM, do you think there would be other ROMs?
There is only subjectively best and that's different for everyone. Everyone has different usage patterns and preferences, so when asking for the best, you get the best for them, not the best for you. The only way you'll find the best one for you is by trying them yourself. They're all free, anyway.
Also, keep in mind that the devs are not competing against each other and they're not trying to win you over or anything. They all have different design goals, they're not trying to be better than one another. They're just trying to be different. Asking for the best is quite disrespectful towards the devs.
I've tried almost all of the Roms developed, all are equally awesome in their own right. To be honest if you want crazy battery life any ROM will give you that until you place Google Services on it. As for gaming their are kernels to over clock and push limits of hardware if that's your thing.
