So I installed a custom ROM and decided that it's time to cell the SGS2. I need to put it stock and I'm wondering which one would be the best for North american buyers in general? Which Radio shoul I install? Anything else I should know?
The phone is a Virgin Mobile SGS2.
Thanks

Best ROMs are subjective, try a few out and make your own decision.

Hey all. I searched for an answer to this question, but haven't really found a solid answer. And i'd like to know before doing something that might mess up my new delicious Galaxy Note.
So I just got a T-Mobile Note yesterday (T879) and I rooted it. But when I looked in the T-Mobile dev section, it was pretty sparse. Then I saw that the AT&T and International ones had so much more content.
So, are the ROMS made for the other Notes compatible with the T-Mobile Note? By compatible, I mean, 1) they won't brick my phone, 2) my radios and HSPA+ will still work, 3) generally stable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can use +any+ roms in this development section. Some of the roms will make your phone run super slow, but I don't know which ones.
You can use the Canadian roms, but they make the phone real laggy too.
You can use the N7005 rom. Its the internatiinal version of our model.
You can't flash any roms or apk's from the international note N7000 -- that will hard brick your phone.
This is not a best rom thread.
I want to know which of our available roms are the most stable, and by stable i mean least amount of bugs not the best looks or features.
I was looking in to the Slim Roms. The 4.0.4 seemed very stable as it was a final release, but as am already on the stock 4.0.4 rooted, i wanted to upgrade, i don't think we have a stable 4.2.1 but only betas and RC's? i was wondering if anyone could share there experiences with the most stable JB roms. i am very intrested in the [ROM][4.1.2]Slim Bean - SGS2. i am waiting for a stable cm10.1 as am a big fan but i was hoping there is something similar but stable.
thanks kind regards
And you're not able to test these out yourself why exactly ? You're only going to know if a given rom/build is stable when you test it on your phone (with the way it's setup & used, which is unique).

I don't want to increase the chance of bricking my phone, loosing my EFS, corrupting my modem etc. Samsung made this phone with many problems with constant flashers.
Mobiles DO NO have personality's my fully working phone is EXACTLY the same as anyone else's s2 i9100, and will work exactly the same as anyone else's with the same rom and kernal after a clean flash. i am asking for experiences?
If you have no information useful to me or anyone else, please refrain from spamming up my thread.
Thank You, Goodbye now.
1) Your premise is incorrect. People do have very different experiences with the same rom. You've obviously never read any of the rom discussion threads. If you had, you'd know this.
2) Once you make a thread, any member is able to post to it. If you're not happy with that arrangement, you might want to refrain from making threads.

You're just wrong and you should've listened to the answer that was given to you. Everybody uses his/her phone differently, so that's why there is no 'best rom', or, in your words, the most stable rom. Stay with stock firmware if you don't want to take the risk, but don't act cocky against other people if you don't know what you're talking about.
Goodbye indeed.

........and if you think you know better, why ask anyones opinions.
And it is a glorified best rom thread.
best 4.4.4 Rom for I545 with original MDK
What does everyone think Is the best Kit Kat ROM fire the Verizon S4, I am still using the original MDK?
CyanogenMod would be my choice. There are currently a couple bugs but the devs will get them sorted out.
Every ROM is the BEST for those using it, if you read through the development threads as you should before drastically altering your $600 device. No one can tell you what is best for YOU. Only you can decide that through trial and research. "Best" for one person may mean the theme, for another it is the apps included. Then someone will say "This ROM sucks because it FCd all over"...well how did they flash it? Was it clean or dirty? If dirty coming from what ROM? There are 1000's a variables that go into everyone's flash/usage/preferences/phone that will affect their opinion. What if they had a bad download and never checked md5? With their opinion...how many have they tried? "Well I tried 2 and XXX ROM was too blue, so YYY is the best" is a possible answer you might see. YOU need to look at the ROMs offered in development, compare list of features offered, read through at least the last 10 pages of the thread to see if any bugs were found and what users are doing for work arounds or if a fix was posted, then decide which one to try that appeals to you.
Good luck and happy flashing
Like I mentioned, I'm currently running xdabeb's 47A stock based ROM. I also have a few mods going, like the debloat script and the over sharpening fix. But I've really been out of the 'game' for a while, so I'm a bit confused and overwhelmed. It's kind of like I've unlearned quite a bit so it would be awesome if you could act like I'm completely ignorant in your answers...
Here is a screenshot of my current setup for reference. Please ask if you need any further info.
The point being, I would like to upgrade to the most current software available. Another important issue is that I'm currently living in a house with no wifi and very poor cell reception - so if there is a more up to date version of the radio firmware available, please point me in that direction. Can you also tell me if I'd need to flash any supplemental​ things, like a different bootstack? Is there any way I'd be able to dirty flash an upgrade?
And while we're here, how is the custom​ ROM scene for the VS985 lately? Any suggestions on that front? Because while I've been running a stock ROM for years on this phone, I'd be open to trying something more 'fancy' and customized​. The only requirement is that it's stock based because I really don't want my camera quality to decline. I'd also like to avoid ROMs with big issues like 4G not working on the VS985.
So can you guys please help me out here? My phone really needs a breath of fresh air and I would be VERY appreciative of any assistance.
Thanks!
This is the Rom I been running. Its a whole different bag of stuff though. Theres all kinds of info on here. Youll have to read and figure out what you like. This will get you started though.

Hi, folks, hopefully no one is going to blame me, but why are there no developers here with roms like havoc etc?
I have the chance to get two S9+ from Distributor, but without custom roms i think i am going to buy a different phone.
Thy, Ray
No one?? Suspicious....
