I just got my SIII a few days ago, and by the time I got it, I just was so excited by the JB ROMs dropping that I just dove in and started flashing them. My question is:
Are the JB ROM leaks at this point faster or slower in general compared to the latest more stable ICS ROMs?
I'm sorta kicking myself for not waiting and giving myself a base to compare the two, but I'm wondering how you all see their state at this point.
Do those of you who used 4.0.4 ICS ROMs like I9300XXBLH1 etc notice any UI speed changed from that to the JB Leaks, or is the whole thing just psychological at this point. We expect JB to be faster, so it seems that way, but is it really? Has Project Butter actually made its way into the leaks yet?
I'd appreciate any feedback from more seasoned SIII owners at this point.
Well i personally love the 4.0.4 roms for the Siyah kernel as it allows me to undervolt, overclock and tweak sounds. The second Gokhanmoral receives the necessary information for jellybean i am moving on though

I can appreciate that. My question is about the UI speed, really. Does JB have any real speed increase over stock ICS at this point, given that it's still probably lacking optimization, etc.
I'm debating flashing to ICS I9300XXBLH1 from my current JB leak version, which as I said in the OP, I really did too soon to compare it to the stock ICS experience.

The S3 is already a very fast and smooth device. I tried the JB LH4 and LH7 and as far as swiping through the home screen its as smooth as ICS ( honestly it can't get smoother than that), scrolling thought some apps and settings is smoother in some part but nothing major in my opinion. Best thing to do? Flash and judge yourself.

I'm addicted to flashing so far I'm in Jellybean solely for the Google Now experience. It shows bus schedules and traffic info without me even asking. I think other than that the performance increase is negligible. Butter or no butter, the S3 is already a beast. My opinion is if you not into the Google Now thing, then go flash a good ICS ROM, it won't gives you any FCs cause its the real deal not based on leak...
Last rom but one is a usable rom only a few apps dont work or may give FC .
It is faster than ICS but not by much .
LH7 that is LH8 just leaked .
But yes its not a finished product .
Would i at this late stage flash a custom JB rom nope i would see what the rest of the week brings first .
47 JB roms tested so far .

what are the advantages of flashing ROMS? I've heard that Cyanogen mod 7 is very buggy, so I'll be leaning more towards Lighting ROM or Darky ROM if I do actually end up flashing one. I'm currently running Stock 2.3.5 if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

Most custom ROMS, for example villainROM, are based on samsung firmware , so they bring a close to stock experience, with touchwiz interface, samsung camera, etc... For me the biggest benefit of these ROMs is that they most of the times get rid of samsung and carriers bloatware and go with the latest samsung firmware (that usually takes a lot time to get via official updates through kies). The latest firmware usually implies a lot f improvement in performance and battery life (yes, it is significant).
In the other hand you have AOSP ROMS (android open source project). This is the case of CM7 (cyangenMOD) and MIUI, and others like oxygen, insanity ii, etc... Here, the devs get rid of samsung firmware, and modify the open source gingerbread to run on a specific device (like samsung galaxy s2 in this case). This is the reason it may be buggy at first, because not everything is running as on samsung firmware.
ANyway, the latest CM7 nightly is working great for performance and battery life, much faster than samsung ROMs also. SOme problems anyway, like the camera which is worse than the samsung one, FM radio not working. There are a lot of things that are way better in CM7 and a lot of things that are worse. But with the latest nightlies the bugs are minor and you can use your device for daily use withouth problems.
I personally was using CM7 for some time and yesterday I switched to checkROM revolution (xda thread) which is samsung firmware XXKI4. I', constantly changing since I miss the camera app and polaris office alot (polaris office as a samsung app can't run on CM7).
Cyanogenmod is not buggy!
Just use checkROM like the rest of us...
I can suggest you to read here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288850. Great team working on that rom.

Flashing a custom ROM makes sense, if you want to optimize the performance of your phone => flash a custom ROM specialized for better performance.
And if you want more battery life, flash a custom ROM specialized for a longer battery life.
If you feel fine with the official firmware, stick to a stock ROM.
That's what I am doing in the moment.
For me, the latest stock ROM is a good compromise / balance between performance and battery life.
But it's up to you ... feel free to try other ROMs.

Hi I have a rooted SG2 and have been trying to brush up on my knowledge of available roms for the sg2 but it is of course a bit arduous doing multiple searches reviewing opinions etc etc and was wondering if there is a wiki or something that does a comparison of the ICS roms that are available?
I of course hear the most about cyanogenmod9 but after reading about some stability issues with v7 and coming to the conclusion that it seems to be more of an “every persons rom” rather than specialized I wanted to see what else was out there (recommendations for lite/uber-stable roms are appreciated).
Cheers,

If you're looking for an 'uber-stable rom', I would recommend waiting before flashing current ICS builds...while they are quite usable, they still have many bugs and functions not working correctly...I would wait a few weeks and by February or so I reckon we'll have some pretty stable builds...

Beta testing is really for advanced users... When ics is stable and all bugs are fixed... Virtually all the devs will base their roms on it...
I want it too but 2.3.6 is really good and solid right now so not too worried

I would suggest you do your own research in future, its all there, in more than one post, almost identical to this but worded slightly differently.
Even googerling ICS SGS2 stable XDA would have shown you that there all alpha or pre alpha builds at the moment.
rom XXLPD custom for SG2
I tried Remix 8.5 based on XXLP6and 8.6 based on XXLPB
LPB is in very good progress versus LP6
3 remarks
the security settings don't function totally ( send SMS, and others functions ) , and like phone locator pro switch off the phone when using it
when screnn off, it is necessary to reboot
I think that in V8.6 CF root LP6 replaces LPB for allowing the apps on SD
but radio FM disappears . with LP6, radio FM is good
quick panel lidroid is very good but I prefer JKAY settings
(with many possibilities )
so I wait a new version of ICS rom for leaving 2.3.6 version
Br46
criskelo rom V38 with siyah 2.6.11
i like criskelo works
Hi Gaiko,
Indeed, ICS still is in its beta phase.
I have tried Westcrips ICS Remix v8.2 (currently V8.6) and liked it a lot. However JKay doesn't support ICS yet.
I need the Phone options dialog to make screendumps, so I reverted back to CheckROM Revo v5 with Criskelo's Galaxy Blue theme, thereby "downgrading" the framework, but restoring JKay!
At http://www.galaxys2roms.com/ you can find an overview of SGS2 ROMS, both GB and ICS.
Remember, whatever you do, always make a good backup before flashing a new ROM. Usufull programs are Apkmanager, App Backup and Restore, Easy Backup (doesnt support ICS yet), SMS Backup and Restore, and Titanium Backup.
Kind regards,
Skully☺

I tried Wanamlite ICS & Spike PureICS roms and I must say:
both are very good roms, BUT, in my experience, 'wanamlite' seemed to crash a lot and seemed to me a bit to bloated for my taste, I love PureICS 5.0, It works flawlessly, no bloatware, and only 200MB, i'd def give that a shot and go on from there.
good
i try some ICS custom rom(SGS2) . actualy not bad .
My 2c..
Well, seeing that this thread still comes first in 'searching for stable roms', here i go with my somewhat limited experience
my first custom ics rom was Bezke coming directly from stock.
Looked good, many interesting samsung apps i was used to. however, no matter what i tried the phone, messaging and other ssytem apps would keep FC. Mostly the phone app. It might be worth rechecking it again, though.
than i went with Sensation ROM, i guess 4.0.3. there i had real problems making it work. at some point, after installing a secondary app (i guess lockscreen) the phone kept rebooting over and over again. Even before that update, with just the bare os the phone was highly unstable, no network..
Finally, i am happy with ressurection by westcrip. I just upgraded yesterday after having used his 4.0.1 version for almost a month with (almost) no problem. Well, it seems that i lost the toggles but hopefully i will find a fix for that.
hope it helps. hope some other users share their experience on the quest to find a stable rom.
OP is based on unreleased beta test roms so not relevant to Samsung released ICS .

I've been using Foxhound (now using PsychoMantis v2) with SpeedMod kernel and it's very stable. No issues, good battery life.
After I bought my GSII I skipped to ICS the second I got home.. I tried the stock one and it was ok, I guess..
Then I tried Lite'ning Rom v2.0 and was pleased.. and continued to update the until 2.6 and then it became to obsolete and buggy
Now I run Dynamic 1.4 (started from 1.0) and I can say I'm very pleased. With normal use (not heavy) I ended up in 3 day and 20% left of the battery, and I didn't have any bugs, all I need and use works.
The last ROM is base without any Samsung app, and without many of the Google apps (remained only the ones that make it work)
If it helped use that Thank Button
Hi guys!
I've been rather adamant to install ICS as I considered it to have too many bugs yet (like problems with video acceleration, unable to do a goddamn call, etc).
As of now I've been using the GB ROM Simple & Clean...Anyway, I'm not completely newbie to flash ROMs. I'm starting to think ICS might be becoming reliable already, so I'd like to give it a shot. So here come my questions:
Is there any XXLP2 (or better) ROM already prepared for CWM? I don't quite like the idea of using ODIN. (If so, is it too customized? I'd like a close to the original google experience)
Can you get back to a GB NAND backup if you don't like what you see?
Which would be your recommendation? Thank you!

There are quite a few cwm ICS roms which you can find in Android development section. Which means no bootloader flash and easy restore to older rom.
There are ROM's like infected,ics resurrection which are ics theme and replace Samsung apps with google alternatives in cases of calendar, gallery, camera etc.
My recommendation would be to wait for an official ICS or a more stable build by which time more aosp feel rom's would have become more stable, which didn't seem to be the case IMO. (the stock leaked one seems to be far more stable than these builds atm from my admittedly limited trial. )

You can try Bezke ultraics rom. i heard good reviews for it and i tried it myself, you can do so by using CWM. you can as well try the leaked ics but it only has TW because it is released by Samsung. this is done by ODIN.

I know, and I've seen the pattern so many times already. But that's decreasing with the time. Things are starting to get comfortable for people arriving, and some decide to stay. And since some are saying the ROMs are starting to be rather stable, I'd like to give them a shot.

Yes maybe but the majority of noobs want to flash ICS when they are not even capable of flashing stock . Two hours later they start posting help help .But i have of now given up on trying to guide users to learn first as its a waste of time .

So far not bad. I'm trying the Wanamlite, and it looks damn gorgeous. I'm having a hell of FC and random reboots. It's a pity. When it's not crashing or rebooting, it really performs beautifully. I could get used to the voice dictation so fast (forget about swype-dragon speaking combo). Since I didn't see people complaining about these reboots (that much), I take something went wrong on my side, so I'll give it another shot. Otherwise I'll try another ICS. I just feel it's getting rather close the date in which an stable version is released, and I'd prefer to jump from ICS already than from GB
used this thread to my actual try of LP2 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444651
full stock, only deodexed and CF-Root kernel.
After getting rid of all samsung hubs and SNS apks ( you can use the sitcky in themes and apps section started by Pulser_g2 for that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069924 ), no more force closes for me.

hi guys...i'm currently using samsung galaxy ace but i'm planning of buying a s2 in the next few days...but before that i have a few questions to ask...
1)there's so many ics rom out there,which is the official ics rom?i'm so confused
2)which is the best ics rom for s2?the official ics rom,or the custom ics rom?and please give me the link
3)is the ics build stable...any bugs?
4)how is battery life of this phone?i use moderate gaming,calls,sms and some wifi...can it last for 2 days?
i hope u guys out there can answer to my questions...i'm a newbie here and i hope that i didnt cause any inconvinience in any way....thx
1) There are several 'official' ICS builds released
2) There is no such thing as the "best ICS rom for SGS2". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom, and also see other users' experiences with that rom.
Then you can test different roms for yourself to find one that works best for you.
3) Yes. All the non-stock ICS builds have bugs of one kind or another.
4) Too many variables determine battery life to say 'the battery life of the phone is good/bad/etc. As per 2), it's determined by how you use the phone, how you have it setup, whether you have constant good signal where you live/use the phone (poor signal means less battery life) and a whole lot of other things. Can it last for two days ? If I only used my phone for a couple of calls & a bunch of SMS per day with the phone in idle the rest of the time, I could probably get more than a week out of a charge. But it's a smartphone, and who uses it like that ?

Like with any other phone. Devs will develop, something else comes along and off they go, some Devs continue to develop.
Back on topic, try out an official ICS rom first, there are a few as they are for different regions bit any non Asian firmware will work on the international I9100.
Then have a read through the custom roms and decide what's best for you, no one can tell what's best for you its just a matter of trying.
You've got plenty of choices, stock Samsung rom, custom Samsung rom, AOSP, AOKP, CNA and Miui.

I would recommend you Wajk's WIUI! I've been using it now for about 1 month and im overwhelmed by the functionality and the smoothness of this rom! The only thing is that it is no clean ICS that you actually wanted, but it is definitley worth a try for you

i'm from malaysia(asian country) so which official ics rom will work for me?could u give me the link??thx alot!!!
Whatever phone you buy I am sure you will find a good ICS rom that works well for you. Whether that is a "stock" samsung rom, or a custom rom like CM9, that depends. But isn't half the fun of these phones the fact that you can chop and change and try different things?
I'm using HyDrOG3N-ICS 23.03 and it seems pretty kick ass. Granted it only came out 2 days ago so I haven't had a long time to test it But I might decide to change to a different rom again soon who knows? I suggest you take a look in the "Galaxy S II Android Development" forum and look for posts with [ROM] in the name. Read about them and choose one that sounds cool. If you try it and it's not cool, just try another one
I was in a similar situation a few days ago. I had never used a custom rom on my S2 but after Samsung ICS update disapointed me, i decided to find one. I've tried quite a few, somes would have apps that crash all the time etc,some wouldn't boot. I even managed to soft brick my phone.
I then found Ressurection Remix that came with Vertemus' Domination theme.. Installed 9.6. Was great and i loved it. Then 1.0 came out, so decided to give it a try. And i can say that the speed difference was major. More fluid. Only issue i now have is that the domination theme is wierd in the notification menu ( hard to explain ... the black is just too... black on the items. its just a minor anoyance )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854&page=1589
To conclude, i think there is no perfect mod. I was really happy with 9.6 but when i tried 1.0 i noticed that the other version had a few issues.
Hey guys,i tried just now the latest jellybean leak...
But coming from cm9 NOT from cm10 i noticed that inside some apps it was way laggy!
But in the launcher or in settings jellybean is smooth like...butter! xD
Eg in es file manager there is EXTREME lag in jellybean,like my phone is a damned huawei sub-100-euro phone or something....that sucks,big time...
I thought the jellybean update would have fixed the laggyness....
But in cm9 the same exact app is fast as hell!
Same goes for sammy ics vs aosp ics roms..
Something is just not right there...
Also the s2 sammy roms runs just as fast/smooth either oficiall based or aosp based,something which in our case is not true because aosp roms runs better on s3 than sammy ones...
Someone care to give an explaination?i've been busting my head right from the start and i just don't get it....
EDIT:If you mess around with latest leak's dev setting it can get pleasingly smooth...
ok not as smooth as cm10 but ok we'll wait...
now the thread is about cm9 vs sammy based mainly and the s2 part...
