is there anyone can help us and port Samsung Galaxy S's Rom for our hero cuz galaxy rom is perfect more than any rom here of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not use a Galaxy theme?
Porting the ROM itself would be a huge task, but themes exist for ROMs already. Using one right now actually
Me too i'm using the one from villian site but the rom will be perfect more than any theme and it will be very fast i'm sure and with full TouchWiz 3 with all programs (( Samsung widget ))
I don't think you've grasped quite how difficult porting a rom is. If it can be done with a theme then its probably the best you'll get. Someone might be brave (or stupid ) enough to take on the task but AFAIK its highly unlikely at this point in time.
I've never had to ask this question before but I need some recommended ROMs for my Samsung Galaxy S II. I've always owned HTC phones and I understand the mods and such on HTC phones better than I do with Samsung's. I get confused with all the XXKI etc...and I don't see any overclocking at all, maybe it's just me, lol.
I'm looking for a ROM that includes overclocking and all the usual performance boosts. As for visuals, I don't mind TouchWiz (I think it's pretty nifty). I love Cyanogen but I'll wait for a stable release!
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Recently i've been planning to change my mobile and i've planned to buy an android based mobile phone.I'm a complete newbie and this will be my first experience with an android device,so i've been up for some research lately regarding different android devices and from my point of view i think samsung galaxy s2 and htc sensation xe are the best mobiles in the market at the moment and benchmarking results etc show that galaxy s2 is a better-off mobile so i'm thinking to buy this mobile but i have few questions before i buy this device.
1)During my research i saw that there are too many people doing customizations of HTC mobiles on youtube and i can hardly find ppl doing customization of that level with the samsung galaxy s2,so does this mean that there is less customization in the galaxy s2 thn the htc mobiles(sensation xe)?htcs have so many different user interfaces with different lock screens,home screens etc but in galaxy i can hardly find ppl customizing the interface,all galaxy s2 have the same dock setup as it is out of the box condition but htcs have different things like htc sense 3.0 UI..so are these customizations availble in the galaxy s2 too or only HTCs can do such customization?although both are android :s..
2)galaxy s2 has bettr frnt camera,its faster thn the sensation xe,althought xe is 1.5 ghz.galaxy has usb on the go function,faster hsdpa,better battery life,2 microphones,bttr camera (some say), where as sensation xe has beter screen res and ppi....so the main thing thats confusing me or maybe stoping me to buy the galaxy s2a is custiomization,i dont really know whether HTC Sensation xe is more customizable mobile or the galaxy s2, coz on youtube,everyone is customizing the HTCs...And my plan is to buy a mobile that has endless customization plus apps,so i will never be bored of that mobile.So from customization point of view,which is better? =)..and if galaxy s2 is quite customizable then will i be able to use all the customizations of HTC sense and other htc mobiles (like on youtube) in galaxy s2?for e.g will htc sense UI 3.0 work with galaxy s2?or htc customizations can only be done with htc mobiles and not samsung?(although both are android).recomnd me the best mobile betw these two,from customization and apps point of view.
lastly,as i told earlier that i'm a complete newbie to android devices,will i be able to customize these mobiles or they require rooting etc to be done in order to do customization(which a newbie like me might not be able to do)?cuz if it does require then i mite brick the mobile and that becomes risky.will a completely new user be able to change the roms etc etc of the device or do its very tough work for a noob?please recomend me the best mobile for me among Gs2 and sense XE ?although nexus is going gud too but i dont like its 5mp cam,galaxy and sense has 8mp :/.
waiting for a response..
thanks

Htc sense may be the only better thing than touchwiz.. But touchwiz 4 has more cutomizations as you want.. Samsung has improved ui and customization with touchwiz 4..
Simple, s2 is still best and ahead of all phones(including sensation xe)..
Buy the phone you will love it..

Not to mention sense drains your phone. Bloody hell, it just sucks the life out of it. I personally don't find it worth it for the aesthetics.
Got to agree Sense just drains the battery and imho it is too bloated.
You will need to root to be able to flash different rom's and customisation's, but it's not that difficult and there are plenty of threads with instructions on how to.
surely i will be going for the galaxy s2

just but one you want to buy, but I suggest you buy S2, my friend have a sensation, but both we think that S2 is better then sensation took much.
it's not very difficult to customize Rom of S2 by yourself, use HTC Android Kitchen.

but i wonder why there are too few videos on youtube related to customization of s2 and most of the ppl are using htcs to show customizations that can be done on android..
i'm just unsure whether an android newbie like me will be able to do customizations or not..cuz if customizing becomes a prob for me after i have brought s2 then i wont be able to make the mobile more fun to use and eventually get bored and might have to shift to iphone or something later on.This will be my first experience with an android device.and i heard customizing android can lead to bricking the phone aswell(if a newbie tries to custmize)..nw that makes me nervous as its a risky game thn..
I used Sense for a long time and it is the most beautiful and functional launcher or android modification ever.
When i started to use touchwiz there were two things i noticed instantly...
Touchwiz has less abilities to personalize and is very iphone-like...
But its lightweight... very lightweight.
Nearly as light as the aosp one...
Everything has it pros and contras, you have to decide for yourself,
but i can promise you, the sgs2 is the best phone your hand could ever hold. In my opinion in ways better than the new galaxy note.
Switched from HTC Sensation to S2....its way better...

yeah gona buy the gs2,lets see how it goes for me
Hi guys. I know the S2 is one old phone, but i found one, slightly used for just over 110 dollars. I want it mostly for messing with it and putting kitkat on it (since he hates Samsungs bloat), but I intend on giving it to my father to replace his Galaxy Ace 2 which is stock, untouched.
Is it worth it?
No.

Get moto g instead
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
i am using it its one of the best phone around moto g is good but newly launched s2 is old and has good support from devs
It's really old, mate. Most of the dedicated S2 devs have moved on. We do have good ROMs but most are made for a variety of devices including S2 (CM, SlimRom, Omny).
Also, the S2 hardware is no match to current gen chipsets are way better. Faster GPS, better WiFi connectivity and IPS-LCD tip the scale for me....
I'd go for a current gen device with modest specs. Sony have good simple devices, MotoG is a good choice. The Nexus4 comes to mind too.

Have my words.... No ...
Reason - 1.most of the developers have moved on .
2.Although we have kitkat.. Its still no where near to what real kitkat is...
Fanboys will try to prove me wrong but i have seen kitkat on moto g and s2 ... And belive me u cant compare how bad kitkat we have (no disrespect here ) all thanks to sammy...
3.Official cm support for kitkat came very late .. Very late i mean very late... Probably we wont see official cm support for next version of android...
If it wasnt for wayland_ace ...we would have no kitkat yet .
4. KITKAT still has lots of minor bugs.
5. Eek i run stock rooted deoxed ics and its the best stock rom combo for fast performance and xtreme battery life... Only for this benefit.. A YES is present
Hello, I have limited Knowledge and am New to ROM/Android.
I have a S3 i9300, and I have Rooted it.
Now I find the phone very laggy and slow ( I had a Moto g and it felt MUCH FASTER) So after some research I think this is because of touchwiz.
So now I am thinking of putting a ROM.
I looked in the ROM Section/Youtube/ and on Here and am LOST on what to do next.
I don't understand which ROM would be best for me?
All I want it is a FAST/STABLE and SMOOTH Phone.
Must be Andriod Kitkat - I want to enable ART.
I don't want crazy features like Pie control/ Touch wiz Ports ETC.
So what do you recommend?
I have heard and seen Cyagoemod. It looks like that is what i want but I am unsure? Will there be too many useless feature for me?
Thank You very much

CyanogenMod is just cool if you want the stock Android experience like on moto g, it have not that much fancy features, it has some but very useful. The only thing you will probably miss if you install CyanogenMod will be the camera quality from Samsung ROMs, in rest is very stable and fast, know from my experience
