Hi fellas ,
I'm a new galaxy S2 user..
I want a Rom which should be CM9 or AOKP or AOSP based and camera and video recorder should work flawlessly...
Samsung roms are welcome too if they look like stock AOSP...
thnks all in advance..

You seem to know how to get around so I suggest flashing the latest CM9 nightly For me (and almost everyone ) it works without any probs
I'm using a ROM compiled from the source by a developer here based in the latest google official source (4.0.4) with latest cm9 kernel 3.0.28 wich make the phone FULLY FUNCTIONAL, Check it out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604366
also watch my video in my signature where shows how the roms works.
Right now I'm on hydrogen 14.04 rom,
Its latest AOKP Based,
Everything works except autofocus in main camera and led in video camera...
Will try CM nightly soon

Even being Lazy i can Live without toggles, i rather a clean aosp experience
I suggest ICS Resurrection Remix Pro, amazing rom highly suggest it, it doesnt have toggles to worry about, just base AOKP goodness
Bro Hydrog3n is also AOKP based and moreover , i tried the camera update from westcrip's page and it didn't came to any use ....
Same problems there too just pinch zoom added in UI
Does the LED in camera works for you ?
And what about autofocus without macro mode on ?

The camera drivers for the SGS2 are proprietary which makes it more difficult for devs building from AOSP to get features working with the non-Touchwiz camera app, these issues exist in all AOSP based ROMs for the moment, I'm sure there are devs working on it but it may be quite a while before it works as well as it does on Samsung ROMs for obvious reasons. If you want flawless camera you are more likely to find it on Samsung stock at least in the short term.
But my camera works just fine on cm9

Working and working without bugs are 2 different things, there are still issues with the CM9 camera, and since the OP wanted flawless, I wouldn't call it that at the moment.

Yeah he's absolutely correct...
I've wiped the camera data and video LED started working, but autofocus really needs fixture...
BTW- what is proprietary??
Is it itbsomething that can't be modified or what ?

All ginger - very fast fully functional but really old.
Official ics - Laggy , self rebooting sth , Fully functional
CM9 - smoother but torch and camera flash need patch to fix. CM9 have none of XLOUD , BRAVIA , Dual mic need patch to fix. Camera performance is drop down from official. i don't know why. may be it cause by sony camera app ( we can not port sony camera app to CM9 for now )
CM10 and Jelly rom - Alpha one. fast but extremely not fully functional ( i think)
Every one here love to use Official ics as base ( MIUI , Tweaked rom or what ever ) cuz it fully functional.
for me, I need some rom that use CM9 stable version as base. cuz it was super fast.
I want a rom for locked bootloader, I cant unlock my bootloader on my phone bcuz my carrier has locked fastboot mode
how did carrier lock fastboot mode .. .___.
Currently stripped customize Official Stock ICS firmware is the best choice for Xperia ray. But most dev here are focusing on CM10 development. I recommend you to join and develop with them to get stable Jelly Bean.

Jellybean is the future. Jellybean is super fast and battery friendly. But not fully functional yet. I wait for a fully working jellybean tweaked rom.

welcome fera. the only thing missing when i switched from x10 to ray was your perfect rom. cant wait to enjoy it on my ray DD
Hi, I would definitely go for something stock-based, quite lite, similar to JJ's Hybrid ROM, but faster like RayOniumICS and with loooooooot of customisatinos. I like all the present ROMs but every ROM has something. It would be nice if you could take the best from each ROM and put it together. Oh and please don't forget the CRT effect from CM9 I'm a big fan of that. I would also suggest to make some addons as well because developers usually like to their ROM without the SONY stuff like 3dcamera, Timescape...
i'd like to see tweaked miui rom, with alot of customization of course.
miui is great on customization, and i like my phone being different
If you could develop an app or mod to enable ad-hoc WIFI support that would be great.
I see many great ROMs here, but some of them lack this support.

well, if you want FFC as well, you'll need a touchwiz based rom, So, if you want HC, I recommend Galaxy Task 14. If you want ICS, you need either official ICS or task650s ICS "The Beginning". Any CM or AOSP based ROM won't have a working front facing camera.
I using Toldo's JellyBeanRom ICS v5. I think it's the best rom I have ever used on my tab. Everything works quite well.
If you do install it and run into problems, read through the rom's forum as there area couple of fixes to implement in order to prevent freezing screen and extending the battery. After the simple fixes I am happy to stick with this rom permanently.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to the community and to the aspect of modding my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 (YP-G70) US.
I've done a great deal of searching for my answers but no results yet. I need to speed this up so I'm asking for your help!
My Device's History:
Stock: Gingerbread OS
Current: CM9's ICS (CyanOgen)
Everything worked perfectly fine on Stock but I got bored and wanted to explore my options and see just what features I was missing out on.
Besides, I feel any Android device should rightfully be able to update to the latest firmware, much like Apple's IOS or Sony's PSP (I think I just dated myself).
I absolutely love CM9 but it has two very fatal (and apparently common) flaws:
Broken Camera
No Hardware Acceleration
These are two huge problems for me as I depend on my camera to record life's precious moments; I'm huge on that.
Google Chrome requires Hardware Acceleration or it will just display white screens and nothing more. So I'm missing out on what I see as the best browser.
My Question: What is the best ROM out there for this device (YP-G70) that includes a working Camera and Hardware Acceleration?
If you can at least provide me this, I'm fairly certain I can figure out the rest.
Thanks very much for any input, I look forward to getting to know this community!
(The App is AMAZING!)

is rendering videos in hardware not h/w acceleration?
GingerBread doesn't have HW Acceleration on any ROM?
I've grown attached to the ICS look. Are there any GB ROMs out there that have the ICS theme? I'm strongly considering Chip v1.5, any thoughts or recommendations?
I'm also noticing some ROMs don't include a kernel. Which kernel is best for my device? I thought "Daily Driver" was the right one (US) but I have the dedicated hard-home button so it advises an International kernel instead...which makes no sense. And I can't find another kernel so far. Any thoughts?
I guess I'm trying to optimize my YP-G70 whilst trying to maintain an ICS look. Is that possible?
Edit: What do you think of Chip v1.5 ROM + rj's custom kernel for my YP-G70(US)? Seems to work for me, is it the recommended build or..?
Chip's is slim and stylish. It's my daily ROM and it's fantastic. If you have the Int'l version with the physical home button, the you should use rj's kernel. If you have the capacitative home button, then you need Entropy''s kernel. The nice thing about rj's is that you'll be able to enable linux swap.

Based on a wiki about the device, if your model name is YP-G70 you have the US version. Yet I have dedicated buttons instead and "Daily Driver" kernel wouldn't work for me, so do I have International version?
So confusing.
Either way I setup the following: Chip ROM and RJ Kernel. I now have a working camera, a slight ICS feel, but not sure if I have hardware acceleration since the only way I knew to test that was Google chrome app - which now I can't install on this version of android...fantastic!
Google chrome as well as hardware acc. is a no go

I have chrome installed on CM10 and it is just an awerage mobile browser ,dolphin beta blows it away in every aspect,from speed to page compatibility..dont see why manu people cry about that..i bet when they install they want be using at all.
Not having hw hurts only if you ask me battery when you play video becausee its done on cpy.
I use chip rom ..like it the most.

Yea, I'm liking Chip ROM so far. Could use an overhaul and make it look more like ICS. Though I can't complain too much..
I'll just give up on Chrome then if it's that bad.
Thanks for all the help everyone~
If you like the ICS look and feel, you could always try IcyFusion, a gingerbread-based rom with an ICS theme. Unfortunately, it's no longer being developed, and the last version has to be flashed via Odin, and I could never get it to install properly (though other people have, apparently).
Another option is to install a third party launcher that has ICS themes available for it (GO Launcher was my favorite).
Finally, if you really like ICS, you could just wait for somebody to get the drivers working on it. I know a couple of devs are well on their way to getting the camera working, and bluetooth has already been fixed (though some people are still experiencing bugs and glitches from the patch).
For the 5.0 , Chip 1.5.1 is the best ROM by far , very smooth , fast , camera and HW acc. Works. Also some gameloft games seem to be not working on ICS Roms like Asphalt 6 , so thats another reason to be with GB till we get a fully working ICS/ JB ROM.

sorry im just trying to clarify something. so you're saying that you have US version with capacitive home button. but daily driver kernel doesn't work so u used rjs and it works? im asking cuz i have US version also but entropys isn't working for me.

It's not quite as simple as that. The number YP-G70 refers to the SGP 5.0 that was generally released to Western markets.
However, the North American version has all capacitive buttons. The European/non-North American Version (aka - International) has a physical home button.
I have the Korean version labeled YP-GB70.
It is identical to the International version (YP-G70) in appearance. I believe the camera is the only difference.
The Korean version has a 5.0megapixel camera.
In short, if you have a North American model, you need entropy512's kernel. If you have an international or Korean model you need rj's kernel!
Stock-based only
If you want a ROM with full HW Acceleration and fully working camera, you will need a stock based ROM. The best of these is probably the Eryigit ROM.

Yes. HW acceleration (not to be confused with GL in games) didn't exist until Honeycomb (but of course our player doesn't have that), and we don't have kernel support for it in ICS so far.
However, since ICS/CM10 doesn't have camera working, you're kinda stuck. But GB doesn't really need acceleration, so you'll probably be fine there if you need a camera.

Actually the galaxy s II had some hardware accelerated GB builds. I'm not sure whether it was stock or a custom rom though. Also I think the nexus s also had some form of Hw acceleration

Return back to GB is a good point ! GB is smoother for Gaming and Multitasking unlike laggy ICS ! Or you can use any custom rom !
I'd recommend JS and Revo ICS
testsIs and
Go to your camera app--> tap the scene recognition icon--> select front camera. That should work. I'm using Neo V and I can operate front camera in this way.

Same here. Frontcam gone after using ics for a while. And we are not alone after a quick search on google.
Nothing much to do i think, not for me anyway as i have unlocked BL and rooted, and flashed.
