Hi all,
I am still using GS2 stock rom on Gingerbread. I am wondering if I can get a better performance if upgrade to ICS or JB. Any idea?
Any good custom rom that I can use?
Its all personal opinion. I personally believe that ICS and JB are faster and better than gingerbread... try out ICS and CM10 for JB and see if you like either.

I see people say stock rom + siyak kernel / speedmod seem stable.. I am considering do a tradeoff between performance + stable + battery saving.. Any opinion?
Is the below link are good enough for me to do so?

Latest stock rom:
I9100ZSLPQ for TGY.

BTW.. i am still using gingerbread 2.3.3 .. pretty old.. and can drain my battery suddenly by .. wifi sharing.. (bugs?!)
I didnt flash my rom for a long time and become a USER for a year after rooting
OK I recommend using
I9100ZSLPP from that link and siyah 4.1.5. I heard siyah is very stable and good overall but I use dorimanx also search for new siyah thread in original development. The one you linked is old.

I've been flashing a multitude of kernels and roms since I got the phone last week, and am wondering what combos people are using.
Performance wise the best combo I have gotten is Stock Bell ROM + Lulz build 11 xxkg3
Currently I am using LULz XXKG3 Build 11 and Lighten'ning rom 1.5
What would you guys say it best for performance? What about Battery life?
I get great battery life and performance with the combo in my sig

I always use Stock ROM (siggy) and CF rooted kernel and Stock kernel to remove YT.
Regards.
Criskelo Rom and ninphetamine 2.0.1 kernel, and for me works good. I am using Criskelos romm for the las 5 month (in SGS1 and now in SGS2).
Cognition 1.30 and ninphetamine 2.0.1
Leomar 2.2 and Nimphetamine 2.0.2, very stable and great battery life. Hope this helps!
Hi guys im a noob (yeah i watched the video)
Can you tell me the best rom for me?
I want a stable rom and kernel with at least gingerbread 2.3.4 pre-rooted kernel must be overclockable and undervoltable (btw i would be happy if you told me best undervolting settings at 1.6ghz) it shouldnt be a Battery eating rom and i want it to be highly customizable (not really neceasary) and it shouldnt be updated frequently (wont be necessary if it is stable and enough) thx already sorry for bad english and for being a noob this is my very first android phone.

Repetion of standard dumb question yet again.

noob + overclocking + undervolting = wary result.
Anyhow, If bleeding edge is not your thing, you could try Cognition 1.5.1 with Ragemod kernel (in Original Dev). This is quite stable for past MY USAGE and fits your bill.

I would recommend revolution rom in original android development.
Root your phone. You'll need a kernel with clock work mod installed.
Download the kitchen app. Open the app. Press menu download rom. Then install once download completes.
Once done i would recommend tge cf root kernel v4.2 downloadable from the app. It's quadrant scores are over 4000. I only loose 1% battery overnight and another guy using the rom and kernel went 6 days without charge.
This kernel you cannot undervolt or overclock buy clearly you won't need to.

If you have time, try them and find what matches your requirement.
revolution rom with kitchen app is cool option you may try Darkytool too to uninstall or install apks.
im using batista 2.0 with speedmod kernal and it is sick !!!!! try it let me know what you think
You're only going to find the best ROM for you by trying them. Become familiar with Clockwork Mod Recovery and something like Titanium backup and flash 'till you find something you like.
I'm using Villianrom with the Nymphetamine kernal and I couldn't be happier.
Thanks guys im now using sensation with siyahkernel but i will definitely try Revolution with kitchen app
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Batista70 Foxhound 2.1 ROM seems great. Also checkROM. I use Revolution ROM. Don't know, just try them all, it's fun!
Defiantly Resurrection Remix or RootBox for now any way
And kernel either Fluxii, CM9 Remix or Siyah

Bumped from last year? Best ROMs are subjective, test them and make your own decision.
Hi guys...I dont have an Ace but my sis asked if I could modify her one. I'm an S2 user myself.
Id be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction for the best Rom/kernel combo in terms of stability, speed and battery life.
She has had random reboot problems on stock Rom several times now and has got a new one from Vodafone because of it.the new phone is on 2.3.3 kp6.
I don't know a whole lot about the Ace but I assume it would be the same flashing process as other droids .. Ie..odin stock Rom, root and flash custom Rom?
Thanks in advance.

stock rom with ketut's cfroot kernel will do just fine, or just flash any custom rom based on stock. all of them are using ketut's cfroot kernel anyway. ace doesnt have much kernel choice like those high end device
cm7 kang is available, but its still not stable enough.

Thanks mate. I'm not a fan of cm7 so il stay clear of that. I've tried it on my S2.
So only cf-root is available? This doesn't improve performance or stability though as its a rooted stock kernel..right?
**GT-I9100...XDA Premium App...Rom Kitchen Ki8 by Tricky103**
It fixes the screen of death problem, so that's quite nice for a start, I don't know what else it does to be honest . CM isn't stable yet and most of the other roms are pretty much the same IMHO. Just make sure she gets the latest version of cfroot kernel because earlier ones still suffer from SOD.
I'm using TheMyth rom at the moment and it seems to be very stable, but I can't tell yet for sure because I'm only using it since yesterday.

it not just a rooted kernel, actually it contains many tweaks. ext4 filesystem, tiny rcu, custom cpu governor, bln support etc etc. basicly it does improve perfomance and stability.
Glsmt rom is stable, I've been using it since the last 2 months without problems.

So its not cf-root then if it contains those features. Just reAd its a ported version of cf root so that makes sense. Couldn't see anything about cpu governor. What does it use?

I can only recommend glsmt rom, very stable and fast, but very poor battery life. I used it for more than a month and I never got the battery to last more than a day, sometimes it ran out after 10 hours. I guess that's a bit of a drawback .
So far TheMyth rom has the same performance and I'm still on 60% after one day (14h). But it's still too early to say anything about stability .

Hey Guys
I just saw I9100XXLPH 4.0.3 on samfimreware ..
did any one tried it and please tell us what are the changes and fixes
I doubt there is any significant changes. Samsung still keeps introducing bugs and bloatware.

I see in your signature that you are using 2.3.6 and also ICS ..
if so what is the most recent and stable version you could recommend to me in both
2.3.6 and ICS 4.0.3 and of course not the stock ones I love custom ROMs

Go for 2.3.6 GB as that is more stable than any ICS out there at the moment. If you go to CM9 you will find it is stable enough to use as a daily driver but you have a few minor details missing. Like video recording, usb storage (or mount storage something like that) youtube not working and any flash player not working properly as they need kernel sources for that.
So flash a 2.3.6 rom flash the new ICS theme and your good to go

Yeah im on LPB and i get instabilities everyday, though not to a serious extent. I would still recommend using the gingerbread ROMs for now until the official final versions of the ICS ROMs are out in march. Less than a month more. Just bear with it!
There is already a couple of quite detailed threads on this subject in general.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I guess you guys are right 2.3.6 is far more stable ..
I have tried ICS 4.0.3 before and it is full of bugs from time to time force close most of apps and get battery life shorter and shorter
one more thing to ask is the CPU speed of S2 increases due to usage because I installed android assistant and got it current speed as 800mhz is this normal ..
or I have to increase it manually ?
ive heard resurrection rom is pretty stable, havent tried it since LP6 and back then the battery overheated and it lasted nothing. Then i tried wanamlite on LPB and didnt quite work for me so i went on wanamlite LP6 v7.7 and its pretty stable but still had couple of bugs and fc's. im feeling tempted to try LPH and i will do it tomorrow
as for GB 2.3.6 stock worked great for me but missed the ICS interface, on GB ive heard checkrom v4 is pretty damn god, didnt work for me due to battery but oh well i didnt quite tweak stuff to make it go longer
as for you frequency question if you want to undervolt it you need a kernel that allows you do to so and then use the setcpu app on market, it should be on 1.2ghz on stock. To verify your frequency i suggest using cpuspy app on market so you can verify the same
hope it helps you mate
cheers
Could give me link the most stable 2.3.6

If you're referring to the above link then its probably neither, looks like a stock ROM to me.
Btw, it helps to quote posts in your replies.

sorry mate I'm new here ..
since I9100XXLPB touchwiz is going worst, i switch to nova launcher which run flawlessly.
- APN configuration are not lost
- samsung software update bug going since LP2 have been removed
- little improvment in battery life
- still a few FC but going better and better, perfectly usable for every life
- i have a few bug with winamp since I9100XXLP2
- don't now if it's linked to rom or if i made something, but since LPB i can't install any apps on SD card
- 3G is better, seem easier to find connection
I tried both LPB and LPH ICS roms. The current ICS roms are good and constantly getting better, but are a still a little too buggy for me. One thing's for sure, I had constant wifi disconnects using the lph modem. In the end I went back to KL1 modem which works flawlessly for me.

Good day,
So First of all i have a Samsung Galaxy SII Gt-i9100 with Official Kernel and 4.1.2Jb
Overall, Jelly bean is good but not on the S2, still a noticable speed difference with its successor i9300
I Looked up some ROMS on Cyanogen website, And i looked for Stable roms, and the latest stable version is this one
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type=stable
I really don't know what they exactly mean by "Stable" and All i'm worried about is the battery life, i want a better battery life than the one i already have, and i would really appreciate some guidance from you experienced S2 users in choosing a custom Kernel that suits my needs which are nothing but good battery life and no random reboots. i heard Siyah kernels are pretty good and cyanogen's too.
And all Cyanogen ROM Suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks for reading
OK......CM JB is gonna be more battery friendly than stock JB simply because of the lack of bloatware........
Please don't ask for kernel/ROM recommendations as this is against XDA rules.......
the idea is YOU try them out and YOU decide what is best for YOU.........

use cm10.1.3 is it the best most battery friendly ,actually most of cm nightlys are ok for daily usage u can even try cm11m3 its also almost stable ,there are many options for custom kernels in stock ,u choose the best for yourself ,for cm and other aosp/aokp roms use the provided kernel for stock bestrecommendation is dorimanx kernel

Thanks for the clarification, But trying all kernels available will be just a total waste of time and energy, although i'm actually thinking about flashing the cm10.1.3, Do i have to change the kernel? can i just
download latest CWM,
flash it with odin,
do all wipes etc and
flash rom + gapps?
will this process change kernel? because cm10.1.3 doesn't come with any custom kernel inside the package..
All ROMs come with their own built in kernels......if you want to change this, it's up to you.....just gotta do your research first........
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
i'd suggest you to flash cm10.1.3 stable release or cm10.2 last nightly ( i guess 26th jan nightly was the last one ) as they both are stable and can be used as daily drivers . if the tag " stable " matters to you and of course , the battery too , try out Infected_'s EOL cm10.2.1 final release .. it is a stable release and is a bit faster than the official one as it is compiled using the linaro toolchain .. all the roms i mentioned are smooth , lagless , and yes , stable and battery friendly . i hope my suggestions are helpful and all the best ! #HappyFlashing
