I was just wandering and wanted to know which rom has been the most stable for you and which roms do you like most...just wanna get other people opinion and views thats all...Me personally I a have flashed just about every rom on here and loved all of them...I must say the Galaxy s3 comm. is very lucky to have a **** load of awesome devs and I appreciate all of them and big shout out and thanks to every dev working on their roms and kernels...I thank and appreciate yall alot....but here are my questions...Once again this is just an opinion thread to get some other people point of view about their experience...
1. Which rom is the most stable for you?
2. Which rom do you absolutely come back to after you flash around lol??

So i have been flashing for a while but ever since the 2.2 roms came out i do not see the need to flash anymore. I am currently running Obsidian V3 and i am happy with it and don't see the need to update to a newer version, well at least until they come up with overclocking then i flash.
Does anyone feel the same or do you flash a new rom that comes out? Please share.
I'm on v5 with the jk6 modem I'm awaiting v6 but I'm happy with v5 its very fast and the flash player is super stable and runs very well which for me was the only reason I even wanted 2.2 but I will flash whatever comes my way and looks awesome although dont I dont flash right away anymore I wait and read other peoples pro's and cons and then decide if I'd like to try it depending on the bugs
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
I am on v4 and with the awesome battery life I am getting I am a little sketchy about switching. I was going to try v5 but didnt want to bother with having to flash other pieces to get it to work right. I will probably wait to see whats up with v6. But I am quite happy right now.
wow only 2 replies
I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

1. there's no exact answer to which rom or kernel gives the best batt life. u should actually test them to see which fits your preference. there are also threads here which does benchmarkings and testing out batt life. try searching for them.
2. when u install a custom rom, it will say on their thread on what baseband version they based their rom. for example, LeoMar's ROM is based on KH3, etc. the rom chooses it for you basically.
3. the latest is 2.3.4, and almost all custom ROMs are based on 2.3.4. no need to flash anything extra
Ok so do I actually have to find a XXKG2 or MUGKG2 based ROM or I can take anything? And from personal experience which one do you think is the best one?
you can actually take in anything (at least your phone's getting an updated baseband version thru the custom roms).
i'm not quite sure how the different versions of the baseband affects my phone. i don't notice any difference in performance actually.
Aight!!! Thanks man. Which one do you recommend?
you can try using the dlev2 rom version 1.2 , its indeed great and also has good battery life

cognition or litening rom can be good choices to start with.
leomar rom gives a lot of customization options because it has a kitchen app on the android market.
My recommendation is that you read some more, get comfortable before you flash anything on your device, know what you are about to get into instead of going on someone else's opinion, the questions you ask are of someone who doesn't fully understand what they are about to do.
It helps when you read a lot, you are able to think your own way through if something doesn't go exactly as planed, else you would have to come right back here to ask a million questions
you can find official firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
as a few posts above i agree what that person said..do a bit more reading before you start flashing. i can remember the time when i wanted to start flashing and rooting and when i did not back up the stock rom the first time i panicked and i did not know what to do and how to get back the stock rom...funny now but back then not so funny..
anyway research play with your stock rom for a while and then flash...for custom rom i would suggest a few...Im using BatistaRom 3.7.7 its the smoothest fastest and battery efficient rom i have used so far...even when i go and try other roms i always come back to this one. For battery as well VillainRom 2.4.2 is one heck of a custom rom and the battery life on that bad boy is wicked..
With regarding kernels again it varies...read the threads of the rom you are interested in flashing and see what people suggest on them..
good luck and be careful when rooting and flashing. any help you need throw me a PM..
Yeah, there are like tons of ROMs and customizations for SGS2 and all major developers are cooking something or the other for our GS2...
Selection of ROM depends only on taste. Some people wants battery life, some people wants only speed and performance. So ask yourself, what kinda ROM you need. One built from scratch, one modded from stock, AOSP?
I use GingerMod Vanilla 0.4. Suits my taste
I have rooted my GS2, and wondering what the best ROM is?
I get the impression that Cyanogen 7 is best by general opinion. Is there any others which I have overlooked?
Thankyou
Gettin' impatient!! any one??? (waiting to load ROM right away)
if you want an answer...use the search button...thats what its there for..
but anyway use either BatistaRom or Androidmeda..
Oh, another one...
Yes, cynagogen is the bestest. I use it many times and ist gut.
it depends on what you want if you want true android experience than you should go for cyanogen mod or if you like TW than go for OMEGA ROM
CM7 for AOSP or for TW based, I would say touch x power, villian, or leomar's.
Best ROM threads are subjective..........
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.
I got my SGS2 in june 2011. At first I had stock roms but soon in august I moved to Checkrom RevoHD (Then still named Revolution HD)
And because rom was so good I just keep it the whole time. Latest version was v6 (2.3.6) released in February. Now developer just confessed he won't support rom anymore because he has moved to SGS3, has a life, etc.
The rom was so good and stable I'd never planned to replace. But now I think it's time.
Now the results of using just one rom whole time is I don't know what's currently going on, on custom rom dev scene.
So I'm now searching for a rom with folowing criteria and I'm seeking for your help:
:good: ICS of course,
:good: At least as much stable as Checkrom RevoHD was,
:good: Good performance-battery ratio,
:good: Stock Samsung's SGS2 looking (I don't want rom to be custom themed or visually changed. ex revoHD users know how checkrom looked)
:good: Some useful mods are welcome. Checkrom had kitchen. (Jkay was useful for Statusbar shortcut editing, we had browser useragent selection mod, modded camera app, sms mod so stupid phone won't convert long sms to mms..) Anything that can be generaly usefull.
:good: Oh and lastly good dev support (That means I wont need to look for another rom when next android update is released or bug found.)
I always used siyah kernel and will continue but you are welcome to change that. If you think there is better kernel out there tell me. Personally I would like more battery life, but not decreased performance.
Thank you for all your help. I will read this thread for few days and then decide.
And Rip Checkrom RevoHD (2011-2012) One of the best roms for Galaxy S2...
1) This one.
2) In light of 1), your thread won't be open for days (mods will be closing it presently). In other words, go over to the development sections, read up on some roms, then try a few out until you find one you like.
Search, read, test them out and make that decision yourself. Locked.
Cheers
Hey guys, I'm upgrading to a Nexus 5 and giving the S3 to my mum, I can't leave my phone on AOSP based roms because of the bugs, especially the camera, they'd drive her insane and she isn't that great with technology.
So my question is, what's the most stable stock based rom I can flash? I don't mind some tweaks and a custom kernel etc, I just want something I can flash once and let her enjoy. Any suggestions?
Latest 4.3 BTU, my advice is leave it perfectly stock so it OTA's.
Best rom threads are against the rules, due to the chaos and clutter they cause.

OmegaROM is the most stable Sammy based ROM, Cyanogenmod is the most stable AOSP based ROM.
OmegaROM http://omegadroid.co/samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300
Cyanogenmod wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/I9300_Info
1: Use triangle away
2: use mega wipe to wipe the phone
3: install a stock rom, 4.1.2 MC3 is the most stable that i know of. And your mom won't care about being on the latest firmware
4: set it up and teach your mom how to use it!
Thanks for the replies guys, my Nexus 5 just landed in my city according to the tracker, better start getting my S3 ready for mum . Cheers all.
Mod Edit
"Best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
