Hey, this is my first post here so i hope i did this right
Basically, just want a rom that is faster than stock, and has all features working
In the past when i tried roms such as cynagen mod the camera wasnt working at full res or other issues came up, is this still the case?
Anything you guys reccomend in particular?
Cheers
RULES.
All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome, read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.
Use the rom INDEX and decide for yourself .

Thank you for the response, i read the rules and noticed that.How ever my question isnt as bland as "best rom" or "fastest rom"
Its precise in the sense i specifically mention that i want all features to work, and be faster than stock. As far as i can tell thats objective not subjective
I will how ever check out the rom index
Thanks
As jje said, there is far too much about roms to define what you're looking for. It might sound simple but you'll simply have to research and try out some of the most used ones.

Well from what I've seen there are tons of bloat removed default samsung roms, I know people like the Android Revolution roms as well as Foxhound and Wanamlite.
I mean those three kind of suit your needs as to my knowledge they are based on stock roms, Although CyanogenMod does have the camera working fine I suggest you try one of the new nightly builds

Hi all, I have a Galaxy Nexus which has been rooted and running a custom ROM/Kernel and my girlfriend has just got a Galaxy S II. I will be rooting her phone and am looking for suggestions for which ROMs and kernels to use!
If possible a gingerbread suggestion and ICS suggestion would both be great and kernels for either.
She is really looking for better battery life so if you could bear that in mind when making a suggestion, that would be great!
So far I have found Resurrection remix ROM as that seems quite popular...
Thanks in advance!
There is no such thing as the "best rom or kernel for battery life you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom or kernel 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 & kernels. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom & kernel, and also see other users' experiences with that rom or kernel
Then you can test different roms & kernels for yourself to find one that works best for you.

I think you may have mis-read my OP. I only stated that I was looking for *better* battery life as I already know that each phone/battery is different.
I have already looked through the first few pages and like I said I found the Resurrection remix to be quite popular but I was also looking for any other suggestions as usually there will be only a handful of ROMs that the majority of people use because of their high quality etc.
The problem with going through testing different ROM/Kernel combinations is that (as stated before) the phone is not mine, it belongs to my girlfriend, so I will be unable to be there for most of the time that the phone is being used and if there are instabilities, I will not be able to see it.
This is the 2nd reason of why I made this topic, from getting suggestions, it will show the more popular ROMs/Kernels and also narrow down the search greatly.

You haven't actually provided any input here have you. The op has already said hes look at some threads and he just wants some input from others now?
Also, as you can see he said it is for his GF. I seriously doubt she is going to want him to test different ROM's and Kernels for her...
Anyway OP, i suggest Ressurection rom remix too, my friend has an S2 and speaks highly off it./
No idea about kernels though.
Really ?
And you obviously know that there is pretty much zero tolerance for these threads in SGS2 Q&A, don't you ?
Thought not.
And that's the entire sum of your contribution is it ?
Thought so.
Thanks for playing champ.

I fully agree with MistahBungle...You've been here for quite a while and yet you respond to this thread as if it was allowed...
To OP:
Try out every single rom that is out there and decide for your self which rom works for your girlfriend..Why the hell should we work for you? Do it your self...
Have a nice day....
Hi NAM_Killer
I understand your situation is slightly different from the other ROM suggestion threads (we have closed/deleted literally hundreds). My suggestion for you would to be to check this thread that we have allowed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515010
And to read the various kernel and ROM threads themselves. ALL of them will have users posting their experiences with battery life and stability. The information is there.

Hey XDA,
I got my S3 at launch, and ever since I've seen some great Jelly Bean roms coming out I've been tempted to flash one on. My only problem is that I'll be losing S Beam, Smart Stay and Direct Call.
Just wondering if anyone who has already done so can give me some advice on weather it's worth it? Weather the Jelly Bean features outweigh the built in ones or not? Any feedback would be great, thanks.

Samsung is almost ready testing Jellybean for the S3, it will come out in about 6-8 weeks officialy. Maybe some leaked roms will pop up at Sammobile soon. If you only want to root for Jellybean i would not do it and wait for a little while.
If you want those features stock with Samsung based roms and wait for the official jelly, in the meantime check out a few custom s Samsung roms to keep the flash addiction happy
There's a few reasons I'd flash one of these roms on it. #1 being I for some reason am a massive vanilla android fan, and #2 being that I live in Australia and it will probably take them an extra 6 months to bring the official update here after it's released. Although, I did get the "Stability Improvement" update last weekend, a few weeks off the rest of the world, is that an indication of future updates being that quick also?
Thanks for your replies and I look forward to continue this thread to help me decide. One part of me is thinking how hard is it to touch the screen to stop it from sleeping, press a button to call someone, or use bluetooth to transfer files bigger than web pages. The other is saying what's the point of getting the latest and greatest smartphone to get rid of it's advertised features?
I think ultimately the answer is just flash it and if you don't like them just restore your nandroid! I've got 4 now, of different roms/kernels ....it's like having quad boot!

Wait you can have multiple roms installed at once? I thought you could only have one! I'm quite new to this. Also while I'm here, how do I edit my signature? I can't find it in the CP anywhere

if you root then you can create a nandroid backup(complete system image) so I try different roms, if I like one I set it all up then do a nandroid, so if I want to try other roms and come back I just restore it, but now that this will lose your data between making that original nandroid and returning to it

Everyone's situation is different, hence why I'm asking. Also, I'm not "demanding" anything, I'm simply asking people who have already done what I'm thinking an opinion, and even developers can explain what the pros of using their software compared to stock if they so desire. I may be new to these forums, but I've been a part of the Android community since it's release so I don't appreciate being treated like a so called "noob" when if you calm down, sit back and think about it I have not broken any rules, and I posted it in Questions and Answers not the Development section so this is also the correct section.
To the other people who actually cared to share their opinion, thanks, and I think I'll give a few custom roms a go.

Nevertheless, you can compare your questions with other questions and answer them. Be it here or in other forums.
Because I do not think your question is "unique" and can not be answered with another question that has already been asked.
You must simply enter your title in Google and then you'll find massive pages, where the same or similar question has been answered.
Why I am so upset about it? I have already explained in my text.

This is not exactly a whats best rom post its asking is JB reliable enough to install; as its a not yet released firmware .Plus featureless lost .
Simple solution for whats the best rom posts is to report to a mod let them decide .
Personally i would not report this as its not a whats best rom post .
But OP i would actually wait for JB release from Samsung .

Its getting a bit off topic but i dont actually disagree with your viewpoint . Its just a complete waste of time forum is what its users are and their is no way around a general lowering of standards apart from the mods saying bang bang .I gave up a long long time ago and now ignore many posts .

Thank you all, I appreciate the feedback and I will change the title.
I have decided I'll do a backup of my current software and just give a few roms a go can't hurt unless I brick it.

Try temasek's rom, it's fast and fluid and i rarely have launcher redraws. Google Now is suprisingly useful in all times.
Some people think they are mods, just report the threads instead of coming into every thread you think look useless lol.. Talk about waste of energy

Hi,
I've been a great fan of XDA ever since I bought my first smartphone aka, Galaxy S2. I check in over here almost everyday for my daily dose of new, roms, apps, themes, and what not.
Ever since I rooted my phone, I've tried a lot of ROMs including CM9, CM10, AOKP, etc.
Now, I want to go back to stock Samsung ROM. I tried official LPY which is good, but bloated with unnecessary apps and what not.
I wanted the community to recommend me ROM which is basically the stock ROM by Samsung, with all the unnecessary apps and services removed, and optimized for better performance and battery as well.
I believe, NeatROM is there, I've tried but I'm kind of facing some minor problems here n there.
So is there any other ROM of the same likes?
first thing is to be aware of the rules. like this one.
Sticky: DO NOT POST A "What's the best ROM/Kernel/Theme?" THREAD!
You can just root and use a custom kernel and remove all them crappy apps(hubs/facebook/twitter etc).
Or try something like rootbox.

With all due respect, I am aware THE RULE. Technically I did not ask for THE BEST ROM. I just posted a query regarding a certain type of ROM which might exist here, and hence require the help of forum members to may be pin point towards it.

Try custom stock rom or wanamlite
It's the same thing, no matter how you try and bend it. Essentially what you're saying is you're too lazy to search/try stuff out for yourself. If that is the case, frankly, I'd question why you're here in the first place. Rom recommendations Are forbidden here. Thread reported.

Well, after a while (too much time) with dual boot ICS ROMs - Stock 4.0.3 LPG & PFittech ROM 4.0.4 (with siyah kernel), I kinda lost with all the new ROMs, all looks the same but one have options that other haven't and vice versa....
First I wanna know if there is any stable JB ROM (AOKP, not intresting in Stock)?
The 4.2.2 ROMs are stable enough? what the main problems this ROMs have?
I made a pool, just to know a little bit more about the statistic (if someone will cooperate ) of how many users using each ROM, also can post here and share recommands...I want to flash a new ROM and hope to get some info before I'm doing that
Aokp 4.1.2 official is perfectly stable n works great with siyah kernel 5. Its has no problem at all.
Some roms 4.2.2 are not perfect.they work well but most of them have a very poor battery duration.
In my opinion the only 4.2.2 roms i d use d be: sentinel rom. Aokp. Slimbean. I tested a lot of roms 4.2.2( cm rootbox carbon hct thinking etc) n in this 3 i had no problems at all n good battery life( liquid smooth 2.4 is also great. But liquidsmooth team stop supporting our device so the rom file is lost)

Don't know where you find any mention to "bettet/best" rom, all I ask is if the JB roms are stable enough to flash (its been a while last time I've checked) and just for the record to know which rom ppl here using (from the above, cuz all of them looks almost the same)
I also would like to know if there is any bugs or something I should know about the new versions before I'm flashing it.
But if you don't want to help with this, its fine by me.
@Raagh - thanks for reply mate, good to know that the 4.1.2 versions are finally stables!
There are bugs, as always. We got threads about it and fixes for -almost - all of them.
There's no "better ROM" mention, you're right. Tho there are a couple of queries about how stable are those ROM you happened to mention.
You need to try them out one by one or you can read the 1000 pages of the official jb thread sticked in the general forum.
That being said there's no room for any advice on what ROM you should flash, so it won't be -as- a better ROM thread.

just adding on ...
all depends oh what flavor you like ... all the ROM's have there own features dislikes and likes to every individual person... as in kernels as well its matter of preference of what you like ...good luck hope you find the one you like
Its perfectly clear that this is basically a "What is best rom" thread which is against the rules!
If you want to know what is the best/most stable or however you want to put you should TRY THEM AND FIND OUT!
All these type of threads do is result in the same subjective opinions nothing more, If you want those kinds of threads dont create new ones use the search button!
Also READ sticky topics!
Thread reported for obvious reasons!
Sheer laziness :-/
Maybe its because of the poll that I've opened you may tought its "another BEST rom thread".
Seems like some people here getting 'self-righteous', since the last time I've visited...
A simple question that become a spam one, thanks to the 'righteous' "guards" // AKA bootlickers.
I pretty 'seated' about flashing new ROMs, I know most of you don't, but I've flashed a lot of ROMs before I've got the two I mention at the first post, you can call it lazyness, I call it doing home-work before flashing 10 ROMs, I prefer focus on 2 or 3 ROMs to check...
Anyway, I have no idea how to delete the poll (some dumbs may thought its 'what is better rom' post because of this stupid poll, the aim was to see the distribution of the people who use these popular roms, but no one never choose anyway.)
Still - I've got my answers, thanks to @Raagh @gastonw and @slimlo for the informative answers, I naively thought it was a simple question and after a while people could direct me more to something specific.
You can close this thread, thanks again for the above guys and for the 'self-righteous'//bootlickers - hope you'll had a better popularity next time.
The question is, why shouldn't you flash & test a bunch of roms to find one that has what you want/one you like the same as almost everyone else here ? The whole point of hanging around a place like XDA is you like messing around with your phone - yourself. Not have everyone else do it for you.
If that's not your bag, you're probably in the wrong place.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
I want to try a new rom for my phone cause i got bored of CMD10 what rom do you guys recommend to me i want it to be stable and fast
There's hardly anyone reading this forum. They have moved on to other phones. But read the currently and recently active threads in the development forum to see what's available, and get clues as to what is good.

thanks i remember talking to you about this like a year ago and you recommended me ShoStock 3 is that rom good or there betters??
Also i read the cyanide thread and looks pretty good what do you think its better i want the opinion of a that has more knowledge in this than me
Do you want Touchwiz or AOSP? If you want touchwiz, then I would recommend either Cooked or SHOstock3, as either one of those is stable. I'm not familiar with AOSP having barely ever used it, so I can't make any suggestions there. Read the threads, as I suggested, and maybe post your questions in those threads.
