Looking to update ROM help? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i currently have Cyanogenmod version: 9-20120725-NIGHTLY-galaxys2 which is Android Version 4.0.4.
i want to update to a Newer Cyanogenmod Version or a New ROM, any suggestions?
i just need it to take pictures use whatsapp, phonecalls and internet.
Thanks in advance.:laugh:

Well, there is a stable version of CM9, and a nightly after that stable version with a few more fixes I believe. Otherwise, try resurrection remix, slim ics, etc.

what about that CM10 u have is that very unstable? what about the other Roms are the better?
Thanks for the prompt reply!

It's dressed up differently, but if you break it down, it's still basically asking this question.

I use CM10 as my daily driver. It's usable and better than CM9 in my opinion. BTW, I still don't get your problem. What feature are you exactly looking for?

All three are fine. CM10, being based on Jellybean is the newest, with really few bugs (which will hopefully get fixed once Samsung released Jellybean for the S2). Try CM10, otherwise go back to CM9. Make sure to do a nandroid backup of CM9 before moving on, so that if you feel CM9 is better, you don't have to go through setting it up all again.
This thread is becoming more of a "what's the best ROM?" type which is discouraged. You need to check these things yourself as preferences differ from user to user and handset to handset.

Thanks for everything mate! sorry for that hope i dont get you in trouble.

Would you not be better with one of the "slim/lite"roms if your not doing much with your phone.

I recommend resurrection remix 3.0.5.
I use it as my daily driver. It is very fast and stable.
Work almost everything.... what I need.

New baseband need recommend :)

Recently moved to a new baseband, tell me what is the most stable, productive rom is currently for B20(new baseband)? Cyanogen now has many bugs .... Can't decide what to choose..(( Or go back to the stable Mic's build with the old baseband ...
What can you recommend me?

*sigh*
another one.
Just make a backup and test. I would choose CM, even when it has a few bugs.
I installed the new Cyanogen but it is impossible to put the frequency of 729 .... My phone crashes on the greater frequency and to a lesser games do not work as fast and phone the same way. So it is not very good for me now.
Use n2 version

ICS kernels, leaks, ROMs, oh my

With all the kernels and releases coming out, what is the general consensus on when ICS ROMs will be considered stable or feature-complete?
Was the recent i777 leak what developers were looking for to complete/optimize ICS ROMs? Or are we still waiting on i777 kernel source? Is Entropy's kernel a long-term solution?
Just wondering when to flash.
Thanks forum.

I would say we already have some stable ics roms like aokp and shomans rom and a few others im running ics now its perfect

But I remember being schooled about "oh we need i777 kernel source before we get ICS" whenever I inquired. We don't seem to have i777 source, but i9000 is good enough?
Let me rephrase my question, how much better will the current ROMs get when i777 kernel source is released? Will we see an AOSP ROM?

I have yet to find a single bug running Shoman's rom. Your mileage may vary, read the thread et cetera but if you're asking when to flash I'd just go for it.
+1 on Shoman's ICS rom. It has operated flawlessly for me.
I9100 source is what we needed. We're only a little bit behind I9100 now. I9100 ICS has some nasty stability problems, I'm hoping to fix them before releasing DD for ICS. I'm working with gokhanmoral and a few others on it, it's not I777 unique.

SHOstock ICS rom is amazingly stable and already in 5th release with more on the way
CM9 now has nightly builds for I-777. I fell in love with CM7 and am really liking the official CM9 nighty builds so far.
ICS leak
The ICS i777 leak, which has been bundled as a cwm zip without bootloaders
is working good for me with only a few minor bugs
alarms not working
wifi only scans after toggle
battery stats graph crashes
I don't know how this compares to i9100, the ICS leak is the first I've tried.
It's stable enough for me to not look back and stick with ICS
I'd definitely recommend SHOstock2, it's head and shoulders above the ATT leak in a lot of ways and I haven't had a single crash or noticed any bugs since installing RC4.

I agree with the uclc2 leak, I had the following issues: Titanium Backup would not install any of my games+data and 1/2 my apps would not install. From what I could tell were any of the apps and games that I had moved over to sd card would not be restored under the leak. Than all of a sudden, my phone had locked up after getting most of my apps *from the batch restore missing apps and data* and quit even getting service when wifi was on and try to turn off wifi = lockup/reboot. Really weird after 4 hours of running it. Under SHOstock2 Rc4 everything restored properly and even upgrading to rc5 which gave back the multi toggle options and running very stable. Zero issue with it.
HTH,
Charlie
I've been running LilChris's phone-bricker with zero problems. Restored apps and data using tibu. Fast and smooth.

Been running the AOKP build from Ported Dev thread with no major problems. Only problem is that when I am listening to music and a text or notification comes in, the music volume is lowered by 2 notches, then when I try to turn it up it goes by about 3 notches. Its a balancing act to get the volume back. Thats my only grippe. I havent had much time to read so I dont know if the newer ICS roms have fixed that issue.
It seems like all the ROMs have a few little glitches. Is there an ICS ROM that can record video at 1080p? Or connect to a 5GHz AP? Or has HDMI/MHL functionality?
I'm switching to the first one that does all 3. I'd be really excited if we can get NFC too.

This is what gets me excited. It's always great to hear that developers from the android community are working together to bring exciting features to our phones. Thanks for all of your hardwork. I wish I would have stayed a computer engineering in college so I could help out, but it you all need testers let me know.

Try lp3 stock from i9100 forum.. Flash with mobil odin but make sure in same flash you use entropy kernel and one of are modems. Then switch usr touchkey file.. Instructions in port section for file.

So, uh, whats the point of this thread? Why do we need another ICS thread? If this is truly different than the main ICS thread then it can stay open, but from what im reading, its not.

Yea I now see why the mods are so close-happy in this sub-forum. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to invoke a flood of ROM-reviews by starting this thread. All I had wanted was a general outlook of ROM-stability coming from official leaks and releases.

What's the most stable rom right now? [4/21/2012]

I'm on stock unrooted and I just want a rooted, hassle-free experience. So which rom right now has the least known complications? Just a quick look at the development section makes me think it might be the Unofficial Rom.
Any recommendations?
I'm pretty happy with the alpha 2 from DAGr8. His third version gave me too many problems. The other roms' forums seem full of problems with the store or messages...I guess just try a few. If you nandroid where you are now switch back shouldn't be too hard

There aren't many at the moment. I would suggest staying stock with some tweaks until our phone becomes more widespread(it's still new)
I just flashed theunofficial and so far it hasn't given me any problems.

I would give unofficial a try. It is by far the most stable custom rom I have ever used. It has never frozen, given me FCs, or had weird random issues. So basically it works flawlessly and this is the first custom rom I can honestly say that about.

I have used unofficial and it is good as well but if you want ICS not Gingerbread alpha2 is the way to go in my opinion.

I have flashed all the roms and i keep coming back to Saurom 7.1 I do like the unofficial as well. You have to at least try 2 of them to test around with because really comes down to personal preference when many roms become stable.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I also must jump on the Unofficial bandwagon as it is "very" stable. I was on Solaris for a while but it seems to be out of the picture for now. But if you want a hassle-free experience, go for the Unofficial.
Another for "The Unofficial". Great ROM, very stable and smooth.
Dag_8 Alpha II is the best ICS out so far. It's currently my daily driver.
Alpha III caused SMS issues and other FCs.
If playing4sheezy comes out with Beta 2 for NOTEWorthy then I'll be switching to it, because it is the smoothest, cleanest, ICS out yet...
A Question
I have a question for the folks using alpha II, what do you like about it over Alpha I? I keep comming back to Alpha I because it is the most stable for me.
Cheers

I agree, completely with him. But, oh well.
For HoneyComb, I've always preferred Galaxy Task 14. Its fast, stable, smooth, and it feels great. But if you're looking for a non-touchwized HC version I suggest Clean Rom. You'll need honeycomb for now if you want camera support, no ICS/JB ROMs support camera until Sammy' decides to cough up the source/drivers.
For ICS it really depends. CM9 nightly builds are great, but I've always gone back to AOKP nightlies/milestones after a CM9 flash. I feel AOKP has a quicker, snappier feel to it. Plus, AOKP is highly customizable. I suggest Milestone 6.
For JB theres just one port, but this really isn't for the faint of heart since wifi, sound, and the camera do not work at all. This is highly experimental and you really should go here if you're looking for a daily driver, but it is really smooth.
Overall, I suggest AOKP M6 its really smooth, and its ICS. The only down side is the camera issue.
With the ease of flashing these ROM's it would be beneficial to test each one and see what you think offers you the best stability, response, and works with whichever apps you use.
I have been playing with Scott's CleanROM 2.0 and Task650's Task14 slim. I am currently on Task's ROM and using Pershoots kernel. I honestly like both ROM's thus far.... going to test out Bindroid next.
Those roms task14 and clean are for wifi only he has p7500 use bindroid for honey comb or cyanogennod9 for ics.. I'd recommend cm9 look for it in cm9 Site as p4 with no variants but p4

Wait for stable Jelly Bean Rom
I have tested JB ROM. Still its to early to comment but its buttery smooth and lightning fast. After a stable rom comes. It would be way better then ICS or honeycomb.
Test and explore different Roms and decide for yourself. I settled on Task's Slim 14.

I don't see why that has to be the case, provided people can stay mature and polite to one another.
If the thread descends into flaming then of course it'll be locked but in the mean time, I see no reason not to give it a fair chance.

[Q] Some problems

Hi, im using Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777 with android 4.1.2 and CyanogenMOD 10.1 and i have some bugs like with wifi it connects but i can use internet. Also phone is getting laggy when i install some programs. What would be the right choice to solve these problems? Maybe the right one would be to update android to 4.2.2 version?
Thanks.
Some things to remember: cyanogenmod 10.1 is in nightly stage. So that means things can work one day and break the next. They aren't really meant for stability. They're meant for testing and working out bugs. Now I'm not saying your issues are CM 10.1 related or not, they may very well have nothing to do with CM. just letting you know, if stability is your desire, maybe run a different rom.
Maybe u can recommend me which rom would be the best choice?

It depends on your preference. I would suggest Hellybean, Captivating, Task's AOKP, AOCP, or AvatarROM. All are at 4.2.2 currently, and pretty much bug free for the most part.
