Ics... Jkay or aokp? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys what is at the moment the most customizable rom out there? I have been using cm9 for long but it's kind of missing all the nice aokp features... I tried Resurrection ics so far and I am liking it but now I see that Jkay for ics has been released.... So at this point is aokp or Jkay the most customizable

Actually the objective for JKay Settings is to customize the Samsung stock roms of ICS, because this roms are poorly customizable when you compare them to the AOKP ones. So, AOKP is far more customizable than JKay, but you can't have AOKP on Samsung stock roms.

i have tried both jkay and aokp and imho aokp is far better... if you want a quite stock looking rom with great batterylife try this one: click

using siyah kernel dualboot option u can install both the roms and enjoy Jkay as well as AOKP

Is there a guide somewhere on how to setup dualboot

Try Wescrips Resurrection remix...best AOKP rom in my opinion, you can also dual boot with s other roms (i.e MIUI in my case) through Siyah.
Hrere is the guide:

By the way, the guide looks intimidating but its simple once you go through it as the steps are unnecessarily long.

I wanna ICS the same as Nexus has...

I want the same ICS rom as Galaxy Nexus, what can i do for it? Nexus has pure ICS? It is already full version or beta for SGS2? Thanks
........?
Try a rom from the Android development section that offers a full AOSP feel.
Resurrection Remix, Spike's Pure ICS, Wanam's ICS themed ROMs all come to mind, but I recommend Resurrection Remix as it's very close to the pure AOSP experience and have had virtually no problems with it.

And will be ofiko pure ICS from Samsung or custom roms only?
Get a nexus then dude. Or try the custom roms in the dev section.
Try Cyanogenmod 9 or Bezke ICS as he is using the full icecream sandwich holo (theme) very nice feel free to check out the screenshots.

I think only bezke ics, cm9 and aokp roms have pure ics ui

Yes, try OptiMax2 with sirkays kernel (im on vdsirotkin kernel, battery is more important to me)
Very fast (4300 antutu benchmark 1.4 ghz overclocked), very stable and stylish.

I need mine working 100% these days as I use it for work - I just went for stock .587, rooted and ripped all the bloatware out, and it's ready to go 100% stable. Not exactly adventurous... but it works really nicely.
Sure, latest stock is well polished and stable.
But Sony doesnt have reason to give us maximum in midrange phones (in their firmwares).
Developers have reasons to do that.
Thats why we have plenty of roms better than stock.
OptiMax is a good ICS rom. Its a fight between that and Jellysandwich
Jelly bean roms are pretty damn good too. Pacman(for a bit extra custom) or CM10
I would definently go with CM10.
After experiencing CM10, when you go on GB and ICS roms you will just feel like something is missing. I can't describe it but there's something.
And without doubt CM10 gives the smoothest and most user friendly experience.
Also to all you PAC fans out there, I did try all of the ROMs since v13 (inc. v17), but they are just never provided the same as CM10 did to me.
But choose for yourself if you have time. Try CM10, Forsaken's GB ROM, OptiMax, PAC, AOKP, JellySandwich, Ultimate HD (in that order)

Though PAC has CM10 built into it. But I am kinda with you on that one. It just doesn't seem as smooth as CM10 alone.

If you are a gamer (like me) I don't really recommend ICS or Jelly Bean Roms. There are many apps and games that are incompatible. I haven't tested a Jelly Bean rom but I think CM10 is under development, I already tried CM9 and I have to say the UI is very nice, but I had problems with many games and apps and I don't have this problem with CM7 (Gingerbread). So I think CM 7.2 is the best Rom right now, but that's my opinion, haven't tried other roms, only CyanogenMod, but is really good.
Why is everyone recommending CM10?
Maybe i am doing something wrong, but for me it is sluggish like hell 3 out of 10 times i am using my phone. Unlocking, using the launcher, using the settings...
It seems to stable, but that alone does not win the game.
Stable + snappy: nxt bread (odexed version) and fosakengb.
Both are stock based GB ROMs and i only miss some convenience functions, like accessing the notification bar from the lockscreen.
If you ever used an iPhone or Windows Phone, it seems GB is the way to go. ICS and JB ROMs are just not there, when it comes to user experience. But they are feature rich.
Re. ICS & JellyBean.. Well, the ROM I'm currently using is Iced Bean - I seriously disliked all ICS ROMS till I found this one! The most elegant, snappy and stable ICS ROM I've used so far!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911165
For Gingerbread I'd recommend JellyBread - hands-down my favourite GB ROM. Fast and pretty & lean and mean!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834106
PS Both of these ROMS will also work on loocked bootloaders. :good:
Thanks Everyone!
So i think CM10 have more fans.
ok, I'll go for it. They're showing 2 days left for a new release, so i'll wait for it
And can anyone help me for a Question? On Cyanogenmod's website, I went to see the Project status and saw "ST18(i/a) - Ray - urushi - CM9 done / CM10 done"
Does that mean everything is working on CM10? everything?
definitely try P.A.C rom . For me the best JB ROM for RAY :good:

After trying several ICS roms I've gone back to GB. I found that the ray just doesn't have the specs to run ICS as it should be. For a simple fast GB rom I'd suggest trying 4pda.ru stock repack rom with Aires kernal. It's a no nonsense rom so you can add the mods yet want. And you get the stability of stock.

Try JB rom for RAY and you never gonna back to GB or ICS ...
I don't even get how people can recommend CM10 when P.A.C. is basically the same, but without all the "non-working" stuff. I usually love CM and nothing would have been possible on JB roms without them, but clearly at this point PAC is completely far ahead, meanwhile including all the CM engine and rom modifications as well as OAKP.

try foxhound.although it is jb 4.1.2 you can install swipe keyboard and photosphere camera on foxhound ota.
Foxhound isnt themeable:S And i prefer 4,1 jb im trying slim bean now i kinda like it, but i dont like the launcher because its not the standart launcher.
But final qeustion is there a CM or AOKP 4.1 what is stable (No bugs or almost no bugs) I only see nightlys of it. I think stock cm is best for me isnt it?
Yeah im kinda a critic xd. sorry
i recently started installing custom roms also, i tried cyanogen mod 10 which i found to be ok but a bit of a rough feel. then i tried ultima rom and to be honest its brilliant. if all else fails google
Discussing what the best/most stable/good ROM is is against the rules, reported

[Q] Looking for Stock Hybrid ROM.

Hello.
I'm going to flash to my phone 2 ROM's first will be a stock hybrid rom and a second will be CyanogenMod 10.2 or PAC MAN ROM or other AOKP/AOSP. But I don't know what stock hybrid rom choose. I really like Chameleon and will use it but I want more ROM's to test them and choose the best. Maybe it will be just a stock rom but themed I don't know. And yes, there is a "INDEX OF ROM'S" thread but maybe there may not have all the roms. So I ask you guys to propose some hybrid maybe themed stock rom's like Chameleon.

Stock hybrids are all roms based on sammy's jelly bean. They're all located in 'Android Development' section.

Yes, I know but I defined it badly. I mean hybrid rom that have stock features and aokp/aosp like Chameleon.
I don't think there are other roms that are 'more hybrid' than Chameleon. Most of them are just stock based, or, like Omega for example, stock with some features like 'back to kill-mod' of the lockscreen torch etc.
If Chameleon works for you, you can stick with that one right?

[Q] Stock ROM w/ DPI controls

Is there a stock ROM with DPI controls?
I am currently on the PAC MAN 4.3 ROM and am thoroughly enjoying it.
But just wondering if it's possible to use the latest stock JB ROM for our i717, and have some DPI controls.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated!
i believe both the 4.1.2 custom roms have xposed included, it wont be the great hybrid experience you get with pa's engine, but it will do the job

Hey Jamie! Thanks for the response. I'm still a big fan of your original PA rom work! (Although I am on PacMan at the moment :silly.
I really need the DPI change for the launcher (currently Nova) , and a few other apps like Gmail, and the Playstore.
I wanted to keep SOME of the original features of the stock JB rom from Samsung (wifi direct/all share crap), and few other features. Would the 4.1.2 custom roms with xposed be the route to take?
I am enjoying the 4.3 roms, and other custom ROMs, but am starting to need and lean toward the stability of the stock ROM.
Your "further" advice is always appreciated!
And...would you mind directing me to which 2 4.1.2 roms you are referring to? Thanks!
stability depends on user really, me evervolv 4.3 is rock stable and has everything i need so i never touch stock roms, but check out blackstar if you want a modded stock tw with dpi stuff
