[Q] Stable and Fast rom for my mom? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What up!
My mom just bought a Galaxy S2, which I am to borrow for two weeks while I am going to the states, since LG pushed the Nexus 4 launch date in Denmark
I am really not a fan of TouchWiz, and I want a pure android experience.
But I don't know of any Galaxy S2 roms, I was thinking AOKP Milestone 1 or Cyanogenmod 9.1 stable?
It's my moms phone, so it can't have any bugs.

CM 9.1 stable is stable only in name it still has minor bugs, infact there is no perfect rom even considering stock roms, you have to actually test and find a suitable one yourself, see for in cm 9.1 features like Wifi direct don't work , radio is disabled and H/W decoder doesn't support all common formats like avi. So since it's for your mom who I expect to be less tech savvy I say give her a debloated samsung based custom roms, i recommend you to try Neat Rom Lite v4.0 based on stock jelly bean rom, all features are working and no known bugs.

I thank those who give helpful comments

Anyway no moderators have taken any action against these kind of threads and if moderators think its ok to let this question be here, i thought it would be better to answer the poor guys, instead of ignoring/ridiculing/scolding them and anyway answering the questions isn't against the rule so heads up.

Will the Galaxy S2 get CM?

I'd really like to get the Galaxy S2, but not without Cyanogen Mod support. What do you think are the chances that the Galaxy S2 will get CM? The Galaxy S still has no stable CM Rom.
Does a bear **** in the woods?

Polar bears don't.
But why doesn't the Galaxy S have a stable CM ROM then?
Stock Media Codecs > CM
if they find a way to keep all the goodies from Samsung then I'm all for it
Frankly, I don't care about the Samsung programmes. If it can be turned off, then ok, but I'd rather have the whole CM experience.
This hardly seems like the right forum for this thread...
So what's the right forum, if not the Galaxy S II Android Development Forum?
Android Development should only contain threads based on actual projects/ROMs/kernels/etc being developed. Discussions about what may or may not be coming to the device should go in general. Best rule of thumb in my book: if you're not actually developing something yourself, a thread shouldn't be started here.
Sorry if I came off like a prick - I just know that this ends up becoming more work for the mods who have to comb through and move threads around.
Also I apologize for theoretically hijacking your thread - Just trying to help keep people in the know
hopefully it will get CM
i really cant stand touchwiz

No problem, I didn't know that.
Maybe a moderator can move the thread into the appropriate forum.
What I really like to know is why the Galaxy S still hasn't got a stable release. Is this also to be expected with the S2?

I agree. Good post, and yes, this should have been in General. Just keep that in mind for the next time We are all excited for this phone, and i personally think that Samsung stock ROM is also quite good. However, to each his own, and I am sure that CM will be out for this phone too

The SGS2 is similar to the SGS in many ways, therefore CM will be difficult to port over.
Especially that there is no Nexus S 2 (a lot of CM7 is from the Nexus S)
Don't expect CM7+ to be running on the SGS2 anytime soon, although it probably eventually will. That's unless anything else happen (a/a genius comes along b/samsung open source more stuff c/Nexus S 2 is released d/sgs2 shares even more with the sgs than I though and current work can be ported over more easily)
This phone is fast enough without CM7. A clean up of the stock ROM, a new launcher and its sweet enough!

It will still miss the CM Tweaks.
A shame that Cyanogen has chosen the G2x as his next phone. The Galaxy S2 is way better than the G2x.

i'm not aware of the history, why exactly was it difficult to bring cyanogen to the original galaxy s, and hence this SGS2 as well? wasnt it like any other phone, the source was released, and cm team built from that?

[Q] Ice Cream Sandwich for SGS II?

Hi friends! ICS and Nexus Prime has been launched some hours ago. Frankly speaking, not too impressed with Nexus Prime tech specs. Still only 1.2Ghz processor and 5 MP main camera. I think the Nexus is only a demo model of Samsung for new software. The real deal will come in Galaxy S II or III. When can we expect to get the leaked ICS (Android v4.0) for our existing Galaxy S II model here on XDA? Within a month?
Mod edit: Changed title
I wouldn't count on getting it for several months at least
Edit: can a moderator please move this thread to General
Given someone has already demo'd ICS on a GS2 (http://www.androidunite.com/2011/10/16/ice-cream-sandwich-running-on-galaxy-s2/), albeit in a very unofficial fashion, I don't think it'll be long until we see a ROM on here.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that douche just installed the 2.4 launcher some devs built months ago and added the leaked apps. There are alot of visual differences to the original 4.0 launcher. And he never shows any information about the ROM or the kernel... Just another stupid troll on the net.

I this "version" doesn't appear the virtual buttons of Home, Back and recent apps, for example.
Now that we have the Android 4.0 SDK do we have developers looking at a port?
it's out?
anyway probably will take a while before there's any good 'stable' roms based on it for everyday use

Yeah mate, it's out and the race is on! Hopefully the SGS2 gets one before the other phones
For the benefit of any of you people new to android.
SDK ports are generally awful, most if not all hardware will not work, and lots of apps will also likely not work.
It is possible to get it to a decent working state but it takes a lot of time and effort and this usually does not occur before we get access to the full sources (based on past android OS releases).
So people are/will be trying this but don't expect a fully working SDK port before we get either an SGS2 official leak rom or a AOSP based rom when it is released (likely in a months time).
@OP
This won't answer your question but you really need to watch it.
Looks like there is a system dump spreading on the web, and think dump is better way than SDK.

You DO need to watch the noob video. If you're not a noob then what are you doing posting discussion threads in the development forum?
This is not a development thread which is why I call you a noob and tell you to watch the video. It's also the reason why I've reported this thread and asked it to be moved. PLEASE don't post threads in the development forum unless you are actually developing something.
Thank you.

Ignorance is bliss .
ICS Android 4 has not been released by Samsung .
XDA have a leaked ICS v KP8 Beat test rom not everything works that's why its not released .
You can install or one of the custom roms built around this . But its not for noobs and will of course void your warranty .

I installed it 1 time and i was not happy whit it so i got back to official stuff xD
I found the latest CM9 build from Codeworkx to be stable enough as a daily use ROM. But I prefer TouchWiz to vanilla, so I switched back. It was very smooth though.

You are all gits. Give him a break, it's a reasonable question due to all the different versions flying round.

Rather than being smartasses, why not give the guy an actual answer? If you think that said 'noobs' will be re educated by repeatedly posting that video, you're delusional. Either that or you genuinely think the same joke is funny after the 3rd time in a row, in which case, you're still delusional.
With this kind of attitude rife, nobody will learn to use the forum correctly or get the answers they want, creating yet more noobs.
To answer OPs question - no, there is no official ICS builds
from samsung yet. You're welcome to try a leaked build or Cyanogenmod 9, which I personally find stable enough for daily use. If you want real stability with every feature functional, however, you're going to have to wait to the official version from Samsung.
Next time, to avoid this immature nonsense, do a quick search and browse the development forum.

Some good points, however a bit of mickey taking should be expected
I am running the CM9 ICS ROM and it is very good even at this early stage. Bits like audio out through the Sammy car dock aren't working (as you'd expect) and the video issues are annoying but not show stoppers IMO so I'm using this as my daily driver for now and will see what the battery life is like.
The only real way is to do a backup and try it out for yourself.

I'll tell you why.
More and more people are coming to these forums, and disregard everything that's posted. They jump in, create a thread, ask the same questions, and expect us to do the work for them.
If this specific user took the 15 minutes to read, he would quickly understand that there are two versions of ICS for the GS2 - leaked builds from Samsung, and CM9. He would also quickly understand that none of these are "full working ROMs".
However, seeing as he couldn't bother himself for 15 minutes to at least try and figure things out on his own, I definitely can't be bothered to write a valid response and to encourage that kind of behavior.
The video basically says "search before you post". He should search before he posts. It isn't funny, it isn't a joke, its actually pretty sad the video had to be created in the first place. But it was created, and it does exist, and so I'll use it whenever its appropriate.
XDA is not anybody's personal tech support - this is not a 1-800 number to dial if you're having problems or questions regarding your device. It is, though, an enormous hub of information that is readily available to anyone who's willing to put in the tiny bit of effort required to properly use it.
Soulicro well said put it in a nutshell .
Let Rolling star answer this same question 400 times in a month dont mind ten times a day .

Request for non-Samsung themed JB ROM

Hi Kazuni et al, are you developing a non-Samsung themed JB ROM for the I9305? Something like the many CM10/ParanoidAndroid ROMs that are available for the I9300? Would be great to have a "purer" ROM for this new flagship....less of the Samsung customization
This has been discussed several times before but the I9305/I9300 share most of the same components, less the radio correct? If so, would the I9300 ROMs work if they're used w/ a 9305 radio instead? So it would be an easier way to port 9300-developed ROMs over?
Would love to see this, esp if it's built on the new 4.1.2!
There are other differences as well like a different partition layout, but I guess that they might partially work if configured with a compatible layout, would likely have no sound or modem functionality without proper work, a Rom compiled for this model would be better.

Don't get me wrong, but didn't you notice the big ****storm about samsung being developer unfriendly and the exynos platform being the hell on earth?
Some of our guys are very sick of samsung and are not going to touch any of the new samsung devices.
Not saying that nobody will port it, but i recommend you to sell this device as fast as possible and get a new upcoming nexus device if you really wanna run AOSP based roms.
If you like laggy and buggy AOSP roms and especially waiting for round about 6 months to get a new android version, stay on what you're currently owning.

I didn't really expect you to add something positive to this topic.!. I really hope that all of us that just got the I9503 didn't buy it for only running AOSP based roms. If that was the case I would buy the upcoming LG nexus that's NOT the case for me. And SamsungExynos posted a tweet today "full availability of integrated source code for #Exynos 4 family of processors on OrigenBoard by the end of 2012"
I wonder what will happen to all these devs that left the GS3 because of samsung not releasing the Source. And then now it looks like they will b releasing something soon, Are you all going to come back? Or just let new and upcoming devs take over. I Feel that with all sources released on this device with the Quad Core and 2gb Ram DAMMMM how smoooth will a proper built CM10 run. And to be honest My device is very smooth as it is. I am not dying for CM10 i actually like the new touchwiz, I like features and animations. And with all of that , this is still hell smooth in my opinion. Either way To me its a win win, if they release the source GREAT if not oh well still very good!!... But i do believe they will release it.

-----> "for OrigenBoard" <-----
It's a exynos development board and has not much to do with samsung smartphones.
The ICS code was broken, outdated and mostly unusable on phones.
The same code is now available again.
I really don't expect a wonder.
From what andreilux has seen and stated below it does not seem like the old stuff and samsung continue to update. Last update was done earlier today here is what andreilux said in the exynos petition page in the i9300:
(They released the 5250 development board and site together with a 800 page user's manual, something which we didn't have before for any SoC. I'll have to see what they uploaded on the Git as it's quite a lot.
Edit: from what I can see at first glance they have 4.1.1 Jellybean sources up there and apparently the newest stuff.

(They released the 5250 development board and site together with a 800 page user's manual, something which we didn't have before for any SoC. I'll have to see what they uploaded on the Git as it's quite a lot.
Edit: from what I can see at first glance they have 4.1.1 Jellybean sources up there and apparently the newest stuff.

Omfg sorry for spam but the dev will build really ROMs?
Sorry Spaming here but a CM10 Rom for my I9305 would be realy Great.
+1 to non-Samsung-based JB rom like CM10, PA or PACman's mix of all three I'm picking up my i9305 this weekend (South Africa) and really hope that some of the big dev's take to this handset.. number of roms at current is dis-heartening :crying: :crying:

-----> "for OrigenBoard" <-----
It's a exynos development board and has not much to do with samsung smartphones.
The ICS code was broken, outdated and mostly unusable on phones.
The same code is now available again.
I really don't expect a wonder.

Hi codeworkx.. this is a copy of a post I made on another i9305 thread, it seems more relevant here tho..
Samsung have released the source code for the i9305.. here and I noticed it's also on Github here does this mean there's a chance of more dev's buying into this device for custom rom and kernel devving
defibitely deserves a plus one on this. cm10 porterssss please i would love to experience a proper stock jb theme

I will go on with the Gmail account but a little bit lighter
I'm not sure about wich ROM to choose
Can you please just indicate me a general ROM?
Thank you very much in advcance for reply to this newbie question
This Q is a no - no.
Check the development forum, pick 3 or 4 ROMs, try them out and then get back here and tell us what you thought.
(actually, this thread will be closed by then).

Gaston,why would be this thread closed?He asked what ROM to use as a base,not which is the best.He asked about Sammy based,Cm based,AOKP based ROMs.(These are the most common ROM bases).
hey mate first of all i wanna say to you welcome to our community
and second one :
we have a lot of custom roms that you can try like :
- NeatROM
- wanamlite
- CSR
- AND etc.
These are based on stock roms from Sammy
- ParanoidAndroid
- Rootbox
- ThinkingBridge
- And few others you have just to look for the one that looks good for you
Oh and this ones are based on pure android from Google
And next time please look at few roms before posting threads like this
Have a G'day
Because people will moan at the littlest thing on here and talk to there mate the mod and have it closed. Don't you see this ALL THE TIME on here. We do. And no he didn't ask about stock cm aokp based roms he asked about cooked roms. Gas Ent being funny he just knows what will happen to this thread :thumbup:

if I were to ask you for a ROM I should try, you really think you would suggest me other than your ROM of choice?
What ROM are you on?
Why are you on that?
Who suggested you to try it?
Don't mind answering, i'm just gonna say it sucks.
I don't like custom, so here's my biased opinion.
Bias opinion are against xda rules; last time I checked we were free to choose what WE like NOT what OTHERS say.
If the OP wants to know where to kick off he needs to go to development forum and check ROMs out.

Reported. Not really interested if some people are too stupid to understand why these threads are nada (You know who you are). These people clearly have no comprehension of how much work it is to administer a place like this. We should be making this job easier (I.E not posting mindless crap) for the people who do administer the place.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
