Hello everyone,
I have recently rooted my SGS2
using CF root.
Replace the Stock kernal with siyah 4.1.5
Then currently i am on stock ROM
slimICS.
HOw to keep the thread alive....
share your experience of Custom ROM which you are using.
Pros and Cons of the ROM...
Report any Bug..
We can then submit the issue to corresponding Thread or developer..
It is really your choice when it comes to deciding on a ROM.
A few things to consider, the JB 4.1.1 ROMs are available but not stable yet. So if you want to try the latest and greatest and don't mind the odd crash and random reboot it allows you the opportunity to report back your findings and assist in that way with development.
If stability is your concern, then you certainly want to go with an ICS ROM. CM9 is pretty stable as a recommendation.
As you mentioned earlier you could also dual boot to experience both. Just a few pros and cons for you to help in decision.
Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Ok, I'm here if you need me :good:
I booted RR 2.7 ICS version on 2 nd ROM
and after 2 hours booted 3.8 RR JB version..
is it safe to flash ROMs too fast??
I mean back to back??
Theres no limit to the number of ROMs you flash in a day
Only make sure your battery is above 60% atleast before you flash a ROM, or anything for that matter.

as far as jb goes, i can easily recommend latest mcm81 mali build - super smoooooth and slick as silk^^
maybe you wanna try some good old gb - i would consider trying miui builds with fluxi kernel - a more ios like expierience and the best battery life ive had so far. dont know about ics though, i skipped it

Hey Manubr,
few dayz back i was also having the same question
should i try JB too ??..
ok so here is the answer.
JB ROMs are not stable since it has some memory leak issue.
It wil not be resolved till Samsung officially launch JB for SGS2.(will have to wait for stable version)
But CM10 team is trying to resolve infact minimize the issue and get the best JB ROM...
you can check there 30 sep nightly build...
Which i have installed it...
I m having SlimICS ROM1
and CM10 ROM 2..

Do all Custom ROMS for all the positive features they may bring always result in less stabililty than a Stock ROM?
I imagine CM7 to be the best....seeing as he works for Samsung also. I certainly found it the best when I had the I9000/Galaxy. However looking at the CyanogenMod forum there are plenty of people raising issues with the builds (including 'stable' builds).
I really enjoy trying different ROMS usually but I am deliberately sticking with a rooted stock at the moment - and it has never froze, crashed or rebooted itself yet! I do miss fiddling with my phone though!
Thoughts/opinions appreciated.
Thanks
criskelo 31 + latest siayh - no problemo )))
Yes.
(10 char)
If you want a stable rom, then use the one in my sig. Oxygen is amongst the most stable roms that are out here. It's almost bugfree, because the creater of the rom, Adam G is a perfectionist.
You have no touchwhizz, just stock android that works. If you are looking for a shiny rom, then this one is not for you. If you want a stable rom and an almost bug free rom, then this one is for you.
ps you won't find this rom on xda, because he does not want that anymore.
Samsung Galaxy SII
try this combination...
*CheckROM Revolution HD v3.1.1 (fast and lite)
*Speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-18-test8-CWM.zip (best battery life)

I don't know if you can say that. It has some coding from CM, drivers etc. But it is supposed to be a stock android rom, the way google intended it, with (almost) no CM stuff.
Hi guys,
I'm new in the Samsung scene, I've Always used HTC phones before. My question is not how to flash (i'll first search for it myself), but if anyone could recommend me a rom with the look and feel of the SGS3 software.
I've searched but couldn't find anything i think works 99%.
thx

Try Resurrection remix 2.6.1. Based on ICS and stable as a rock. I'm pretty new myself and been using it for a while.Easy to install and no issues whatsoever. :good:
First of all, are you sure you have an i9100 and not an i9100G, a skyrocket (AT&T or Rogers), a Galaxy S2 LTE HD, etc?
If you do have an i9100, this is the forum for you. If not, try and find your right forum...
I'd look in the SGS2 android dev forums and not the Original Android Dev forums. Alot of cooks have ROMs with SGS3-like themes... And there's possibly a touchwiz5 mod in the themes section. I know the ripple lockscreen was ported too...
To be honest, alot of ROMs exist but it's a question of taste... I know Resurrection remix is a popular one. Alot of people switched to Cyanogenmod when ICS hit though, as ICS wasn't up to par for Samsung's implementation...
Your best bet is to flash a custom kernel with CWM recovery in Odin (Alot of guides to do this) like CF-Root and then grab ROMs and flash them through CWM. If you want a kernel that's able to dual boot, you can use DreamKernel, Siyah, etc. That way you can get one ROM going and test a second ROM as a secondary. Dual booting can be achieved because we have a 500MB partition on our phones that isn't used for anything... Fun, is it not?
And The other rom is pfittech ics rom and is also stable and he is working on stable jb rom as among other devs

I think i'll wait untill a port of the new JB update for the S3 gets ported
I've always used Slim ICS, very light weight and customizable.

I'd go with rootbox. Just because the dev updates more frequently does not mean it's a better rom. The ones who don't update frequently just mean they don't have bugs to fix...

Do you live in a 4g area and make use of it? Go with MOF's rom.
Do you not care/use 4g but value complete stability and amazing battery life? Go with 2.3.5 Hybrid or CM7
Do you like to be on the bleeding edge but can handle some slight bugs and stability issues? Go with a Jelly Bean based ROM. CNA would be my recommendation as it seems to be the most stable and has the best battery life of the bunch.
i will try 2.3.5 Hybrid
but i found many links which link i download the rom
my bootloader is unlocked
do i have to install KERNEL and ADDON ?

Kernel is included, addons are not necessary.
CM10 is the best. 4G is pointless so avoid all stock roms. They are not any good.

is cm10 stable ?

You think HybridRom isn't any good?
It's brilliant work in mine and many others opinion. CM10 is damn good and what I run as my daily, but you can't deny that at it's current iteration, there are still a few issues that don't exist within stockbased roms.
can you give me the cm10 link to try it ?
can i use cdma with this rom ?

Just go to Photon Android Development section and click on cm10.... Again, i would suggest CNA JB or AOKP JB over cm10 right now. CM10 hasnt been updated as frequently as the rest and has more bugs.
Now that everyone is so busy with jelly bean, seeing that ics is slowly abandoned I think I should upgrade to jelly bean... BUT the official Rom has quite a few bad reports already... So I was thinking of going to cm once it has a stable release... What do u guys think?

If You're gonna wait for CM... By the time it's usable regularly/heavily the stock ROMs camera( the only bad report mind you) will be fixed.
So now you have both Stock nd CM functional.
Choice is yours

I have switched back to the stock rom for a specific reason, I like the bravia engine and xloud features. Basically there are lots of different reports that you can mod these features but I personally haven't had any success. CM9 did rock otherwise. Its the best UI experience ever.
Besides this, there is no other reason to stick to stock/custom rom. I do love the fluidity stock based custom rom by Pulak and so far its got the best battery backup.

Hi all, As I said, here comes the first version of android 4.3 for the x10. This is based on the evervolv ROM.
The binaries can be found in evervolv 4.3 folder.
https://www.wuala.com/CMX10-Releases/?key=CMX10Team
BUGS
NO CWM delivered with kernel
NO CHARGEMON
The WLOD that because famous with android 4.3
Maybe a lot more.
Install
Copy ROM on your SD card.
Wipe Data and Cache
Get into CWM and install ROM.
Flash the kernel.ftf using flashtool
This is an early version, I might not have time to work on it a lot. If someone wants the sources before their released, PM me.
Scritch
PS: Forgot the little disclaimer.
No warranty about this. I can't be blamed if somethings goes wrong or if phone is damaged. Use at your own risk.
Hi
Nice to see You again on X10 forum. I always liked you ROM. I hope this will be good too. Now downloading and check how it works

There's some pretty cool version of JB. The CM10 now has every thing except hardware video encoding/decoding. Everything else is working nicely.
CM10.1 and Everolv 4.2 and 4.3 have an issue with the kernel. But I can't manage to fix it. So we've been working on newer kernel, 2.6.32 but it has a camera issue. And we're trying to port a newer kernel, but it's not that easy.

It's been a great experience with this phone and with great ROMs by great Developers... Thanks a lot guys from all X10 users.

Yeah, only place when You change something with GPS options is "Location access" in "Personal"
Some other options i cant find - for example i cant change icns on status bar - wifi, sync or something else - i dont know chow too change it ;p
But ROM can be nice in the future i like it too in alpha stage its better then other in beta ;p
One more thing - is it possible to restore USB charge or something like this to kernel? Becouse i read You remowe this options from source code and from 4.X kernel we cant use other then Sony charger - i have Philips charger for 2 phones but cant use it.
