Best ROM for i9100 with these functions included - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

heartagramm said:
So I'm looking for a good, stable, almost 100% functional ROM that would be ICS/JB (preferably JB), and would have FM radio and call recording. There are tons of ROM's and I've tested quite a few, only to see that there's no FM radio or then there are some other bugs, like YouTube videos looking greenish or other ****. And missing Google Apps etc...
Any pointings to a good ROM will be appreciated.

Whats the best rom for sound? I had Titan and nothing sounds the same...

I had a rom called Titan v2 and it sounded unbelievable. I guess it died out because I havent been able to find a new version.
For all my music lovers what is the best sounding stable rom out there? I miss the way titan used to bump in my car.
Try venom rom sense 4 (viper) has amazing sound comes with beats, dolby, surround and more you can find it at infected rom

I would say any aosp Rom. Then use the dap manager. Sense works ok with dsp managers, but its just not the same. I can show you my bass setup if that's what your looking for

I was using ogminilla's but it wouldnt let me answer calls... The only bug with that rom. Maybe try out solid senless Rom.
For the DSP manager:
DO NOT enable bass enhancer or it will distort the music through your stereo. You could try it, but it usually only works on headphones.
Then for the equalizer setting:
Set the first column to 8, the second column to 8 1/2, the 3rd column to 3, the 4th at 0, the 5th at 1 1/2, and the 6th at 3.
Be sure to enable loudness compensation to strongest.
Leave the other settings unchecked
Hope this helps!

Tried the viper rom but no 4g! is there a sense 3.6 version?
Or does anyone still have the last titan hd odexed v2 rom? Can't believe I erased it, figured its so old it would be obsolete. Had great sound and great camera and stable. Any old titan users out there?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Cool ICS for CDMA & GSM. The current version has full working beats, including the notifications and system settings, and the Sony xloud mod all baked in. I have the same mods with MeanROM ICS 2.6 using this installation procedure and the sound is great.

It looks like this thread has a working download, but I'm not sure why you would want a GB ROM based on the 2.08 build when the Cool ICS ROM has been updated to the latest Sprint ICS build and has very good audio and camera. Up to you.

It just sounded so good, right out of the box. I would just pull up anywhere, put on pandora, and have an instant block party.
I installed cool rom and it sounds very loud but just not as good/full. I havent been able to find any settings to tweak, i guess i have to download the dsp manager.
As for the link above, the only thing on that ftp is something called olympus trinity gamer. Not sure what this is and can't find any info on it. Might try flashing it just to see how it sounds right off the bat.

Some people have commented that the audio from the ICS ROM's even with all the mods installed is not as good as it was on the GB ROM's.
I flashed the Titan ROM out of curiosity and it seems to have the sound mods you are looking for, but is mostly stock except for the games. Apparently the dev was kicked off of XDA for some drama he created, and if you check the comments from the installation script you will see his comment on XDA.
The original thread for the ROM is still on XDA, but the download link is broken.

Yes I just flashed that gamer one and it sounds fantastic. I flashed right after the cool ics and there is no comparison. Maybe its because im testing on pandora (I have the premium version which has better sound) and not the music player, maybe because its not ics idk.
I read about the drama and people saying he wasnt a developer but more of a 'remixer'. Whatever he was he made that **** sound sick so you gota give him credit for that at least.
Maybe other developers can adopt what he did for sound cuz i do like other features of ics. But like you said maybe its just that gb sounds better than ics and its just that simple. dunno, Im gona stick with this one for now because im really into music.

The beats mods aren't going to help Pandora at all. You need to use DSP Manager, MusicFX, Volume+ or something similar with that app, and people have had mixed results with those equalizers on ICS. If the Titan ROM has DSP Manager built-in that's probably making the difference for Pandora.
I'm glad you found what you were looking for and are happy with it, even if it is GB.

Yea, I don't see anything wrong with GB. I didnt see a DSP manager there but there is something called Audio FX Settings.
BTW, is there anything I can use to uninstall all those games?

Ive been messing with this on cool ics and it doesnt sound bad at all. Where I messed up was not going to settings - beats audio - and enabling those.
I still think its not quite as good as the titan roms but its pretty damn close!

AudioFX is another equalizer similar to DSP Manager and Volume+. It works pretty well with Google Play Music but I haven't tried it with Pandora.
You should be able to uninstall the games you don't want with Titanium Backup, even if they are installed as systems apps.

Any ROM based on Android 4.x with Video record working at least the same as on stock?

Hi,
Is there any ROM based on Android 4.x which has Video recording not lagging? The same level of performance as on stock will be quite enough for me... No lagging while video playback would be also nice to have. I have tried Jokersax cm9 and cm10 and both didn't have these things working. Anyway, I would like to thank Jokersax and his work done to offer community the newest fancy stuff .
Or there's a common issue with drivers which prevents having video recording working stable in any ROM on Android 4.x? Is there any other option rather than waiting for official Android ICS release for MoPho?
Thank in advance for replying.

there's no drivers available for us to use for ICS/JB. so everything is hacked to kinda work. in this case it means lots of 2d related things don't work. video recording for example. JB is quite jittery at times. all due to lack of drivers.
if you want a stable rom with everything working. use a gingerbread rom.

CM7 by JOKERSAX is definately the best option for the most stable opperating system in my eyes, no offence to other builds or devs.
the cm10 version is running great for me after doing very small mods to get it working. I DO HAVE WORKING VIDEO ON CM10!!
The video illusions is the only video camera app ive had that works well and dosnt seem to run verry slow.. i had to disable HWA on the gallery and on the camera and the video cam app to reduce jitter and FC. but CM10 or any AOKP seems to be verry solid, i love to run AOKP JB roms from time to time to switch things up, THEBILL has a great selection to offer, jump to page 1 on any build to see what is still broken (borked?)
but the issue is that the drivers are hacked up from gingerbread and this is the best it will be + a few mods to improve quality until the release of ICS comes out, big hopes now with the photon Q being out and running ics/Jb
GOOD LUCK
let me know if i helped any!!

i9100 CM 10.1 Known Issues/Bugs list

Hi
I wish to try CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Galaxy S II i9100, but i want to see the known issues or bugs first. I searched in Google for a updated list, but I only found references to the teamhacksung's web, wich is down now, also i found one list but is for 4.2.1 (not updated). Also i couldn't find it here in XDA nor CM wiki, only scattered bugs reports. Is the bugs in the list posted on the link still present? Can someone post a updated list please?
Thanks in advance.
There more than likely isn't an up to date list. It was the same with CM9. You need to either read the threads or try it out for yourself (or ask in the discussion thread if you have a specific question about something working or not).

Thanks for your answer. I know that CM have graphical problems due to lack of drivers. My interest is the camera, audio and 3d graphics (for HQ games like Asphalt 7). The camera works fully? (front/back camera, 1080p video recording, correct exposure levels) The audio works OK? (Mics, Speakerphone, No skips) Intense graphics apps and games doesn't crash?
I'll also ask in the discussion thread, thanks.
I don't use CM10 so I can't answer those questions, sorry.
Camera: poor compared to Stock Samsung Camera
Audio:Good,no prob.
Games:Asphalt 7 lags sometimes and has a low fps compared to stock Samsung
That's why I use Biftor ROM and Apolo kernel...phone was never faster.

[Q] Biggest problem with AOSP ROMs

Hi,
I have one problem with AOSP roms and I consider this as the biggest one.
I have a Galaxy S3 I9300 running Stock 4.3 deodexed, zipaligned etc.
Now with this ROM I am able to play almost all types of video files...Why is this not possible with AOSP roms?
I have always seen people installing different types of Apps (MX Player, VLC Player etc. etc..) to get all the videos playing...
But TouchWiz plays almost all types of videos out of the box...As of now I don't have any third party video player installed on my phone...
I am a big fan of CM, but refrain from installing it just because of this one reason!
Can someone please explain this to me...would be great !!
And please correct me if i am wrong...
Thanks.
Touchwiz is a hugely bloated layer on top of Android, everything works so even beginners have a good experience. AOSP starts with just Android, then you add the parts you want -if you want video then add it. AOSP on a Samsung device isn't ideal for new users

Thanks for the answer but that's exactly what i want to know...
How can i enable support for all types of video files without installing numerous video players?
Are there any codecs which when installed on AOSP will do the magic??
Thanks
Some codecs aren't included in AOSP as they are not free. Same reason AOSP does not include gapps.

Recommended stable custom ROM for SGP511?

I've gotten Google out of my life and want to flash a new custom ROM to my Sony Xperia Z2 tablet. I'm currently running Lineage but would be curious to try something different. I basically want a clean experience and won't be flashing Gapps. I really just use this tablet for watching videos and rarely some document reading and email.
Can someone recommend me a stable ROM to try out? There's so much development here that i'm a little overwhelmed and would be safest to take some advice on something stable I won't f**k up being a relatively inexperienced person in this area. (i've flashed a bunch of ROMs on different devices, but i've messed it up plenty of times too)
Hi,
I can just recommend Resurrection Remix Oreo. Its stable, pretty smooth and really fast with the latest android experience. Im using it daily to watch videos or scrolling through the web or facebook. I also installed google photos so i receive the photos directly taken from my smartphone, pretty awesome.
So I think it will be also a great rom for you. Just flash the twrp 3.0 and install it. Really simple.

Thanks - i've flashed it and the first thing I tried was playing a video (after installing VLC). Audio FX error happened and the tablet crashed. Replicated this a few times. The forum thread says I can uninstall Audio FX using the system uninstaller, but I can't find that option and this isn't a great indicator of stability anyway. That ROM does feel and look great - but that was discouraging.
