Hello, I haven't been realy playing around with my Prime since i got him[almost a year] and was realy messing around with my phone [ Galaxy Nexus AOKP JB1] but now its time to enjoy my tablet to its full.
So i will be happy to recive any recommendations about the best rom currently out there, i have noticed there isnt even 1 official updated rom from AOKP or CM or else i wouldn't have opened this thread.
Im gonna add HUBS later[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqHNUU0uadU] so i just need a fast half clean-vanila and half customizable ROM.
TY!
p.s i have searched the forums but latest WHATS BEST ROM thread was from 201... so..
Go to the development forum and check out androwook and energy. Both are fast and stable! I use energy atm, nice eye candy with no lag.
Does it have alot of customization options? like statusbar/navbar icons/transparent/color etc?
and TY for the recommendation i might try Energy tomorrow
tbh, i haven't messed with ui tweaking that much. Energy's UI is visually completely different from stock or really any other rom i've tried.(While keeping the speed!)
I am sure you could flash in any tweaks you want to make later... but again, this isn't my specialty.

Hi all,
I just got my Hero and haven't tried a custom rom jet. Therefor i want to start with the most "stock-like" and stable 2.1 rom, so no fancy extra's.. only to get the 2.1 feeling.
Which rom would you guys advise?
So to be clear, this is NOT a topic for finding " the best rom there is " (cause posts on that topic are always removed..) but just to look for the most basic , stable 2.1 rom.
Hope someone can help, thanks!
VillainRom 5.5
i didn't get along with villain; sensehero is the only 2.1 that's lasted more than 24 hours on my phone.
m8
try both of them and choose
(personally I like SenseHero)
I use VanillaEclair 2.0.1
Tried Villian, but it felt a bit slow trying to navigate menus, as well as a bit bored of sense so wanted a change

same. tried lots of 2.1 roms and found this one most reliable.
fast, stable, no batt drain and good support.
check it out here.
Hi Guys,
thanks for all of your quick reply's , this should get me started!
Guess i'll try Vanilla's first
You might like the SuperHero when it is released to public. Meant to be as fast as non-sense android with a couple of sense features chucked in for good measure.
For me it's SlideVillain - it's beautifull and very fast&stable. In my opinion it's even faster when you also activate app2sd good luck
I'm only a month old Androidian... and within a month I leant a lot frm XDA about installing custom rom/rooting and using new themes etc...
But I am really lost at one point ... which custom Rom is the best one and is flawless... i mean some times im really confused bet the top ROM maker's ... I knw that everybdy's workin hard to make a best out of it....
but I would really like 2 knw who's using which custom ROM tht's been used by maximum number of users and whch seen flawless (at least fast and 90% flawless)
Everyone has different tastes, so you should try a few roms to choose the one that you think it's better.
You must keep in mind that no rom is 100% perfect and there are always little flaws. When I install a custom rom, I always do a few tweaks here and there and add or remove that I like or dislike.
I've tried Exynos, Cognition, Villain, SkyRom and Lite'ning. To my taste, Villain and Lite'ning are the best, with Exynos in second place. FYI, Now I'm on Villain 2.1 with Ninphetamine 2.0 Kernel and KG2 modem, just to try something different to Lite'ning 3.1.
I'm eagerly waiting for MIUI and Cyanogen to become stable, but in the meantime I'm switching between the aforementioned roms.
I feel that Cyanogen is one of the most stable roms out there, even though they're nightlies. No sudden reboot, excellent batterylife, not to mention the huge amount of tweaks and settings built in..

For now I am staying (and thus voting) "original stock ROM".
This will very likely change once CM7 is finished for the SGS2
But its still early days of i9100 and every now n thn a new official stock rom is release or I must say "leaked" (thanks 2 samfirmware) .....
n it really sux whn after installing latest cf-root n custom rom , theme and backup restoration setting Home widgets your own way everthing ... which sometime takes many days to settle.
... and after doing all that @SamFirmware tweets that a new I9100 firmware is leaked... and then forgetting all the hardwrk we did to make i9100 stylish n fast, we start refreshing XDA forum to see whether smbdy has released a custom rom or not ?
n the Impatient ones takes backups via titanium and wipes everything and get back to Stock Rom to see the diff (deliberately ignoring the fact tht titanium restore will work only after rooting) ...
Its really a fact... tht happen with most of the ppl...
After trying various Roms in last few months... I stay with either Villain ROM OR Official ROM (CF Rooted ) .... hope that if some day it could be dual booted like my PC is.
I stick with the official ROM and customize it to my own needs.
I love MIUI as I love to heavily customise look and feel with ease.

CM7 it runs really great for me with no issues. I am hoping to get my Dual boot working soon to boot then i will be set.
I love batista 70. For me the best.
I think Leomar v2.6 is the best because of the personalization you can do and it's very very very easy to do!!

i agree with you
Cyanogenmod definitely. I never was one to enjoy being tied down to OEM software which were uncompatible with each other.
If you want a custom custom rom check out Insanity II... quick, stripped down, bare bones, no non-sense. Since you only run essentials it ups your battery life by quite a bit.
On Sammy ROMs Cognition and Darky are very stable and have decent battery life.
CM7 is highly customizable but you miss certain features like A2DP, FM radio, better camera , hi def videos that are part of Samsung ROMs. Some of these features are being worked upon and would be available whenever the stable version comes out.
Some people have better battery life on CM7. strangely it is not the case with me.
MIUI is cute but a big battery drain.
overall there is no best ROM or anything . you try different ROMs and use the one that suits your needs.
I'm using leomar 2.6 with nimpho 2.1.3 and it goes very smooth.. Battery goes for 2days (ofc that depends..) and in general works for me. Plus you can customize it and make it as you like through his kitchen with mods,themes etc.

My Vote is definitely for VillainRom 2.4.2 and kernel 2.0.5 woked best for me... smooth, minimalistic and no bugs... cheers
I am also on villainrom 3.0 but with ninph 2.1.3 .... my battery is draining very fast... any second best ppl can suggest?
CriskeloRom is the best

Agreed. I used CM7 for about 2 days before i switched back to (the vampiric) stock. It had great battery life for me but i do use bluetotth and FM radio on a daily basis.
Hi guys, I'm here to ask you your help in this passage.
The mentioned passage is the one from gb to ics.
I'm really satisfied from my phone because I'm a normal user: my 01 is my phone, my mp3 player, my little console and it lets me go on internet very quickly.
When ics had just been come out, I've decided I would have used only when it would have become stable, smooth and completely working.
Now here we are. I see the ics roms are finally good for daily use.
I'm on oxygen and I want to flash an ics rom. But which one?
I'm undecided between three roms. Those are:
-hephappy's CM9
-Arjen's CM9
-williamcharles's aokp ICS
I've already said I'm a normal user: I want my phone is smooth, battery friendly and almost bugless. It's time for me to switch from gb to ics? And if yes, which rom should I flash? Thanks for your attention and answers
I don't think you'll find any ics roms quite as smooth as gb but I would tell you to try each one for a week and go from there!

I get a lot of random reboots with build 40 aokp ics and hehappys bluepill ice version was very sluggish after using an ext3 partition with link2sd..maybe because the memory was low...if you want customization. Use aokp...it feels slightly faster than William Charles from. I haven't tried arjens nightly ics rom. AFAIK, hehappy and williamcharles ics roms are the only ones to have the latest updates

So the best way I can do it It's to try it?
If you are on Oxygen then I must say you already have the best one!
I have tried all but came back to Oxygen.
The forums keeps getting spammed with threads like this. There are no other person than yourself who can wait the best suitable rom for your device. Try the ones available and keep the one you like the best

Hi all, I have a Nexus 4 coming my way and I'm going to gift my good ole Vibrant to my sister during Thanksgiving. Can I have some opinions on which ROM I should put on it for her? I currently have Hellybean which works pretty decently, but has some minor glitches here and there. I'm not sure if I should just wipe and give her the phone with Hellybean or flash another ROM.
I would prefer a ROM that I could put on there and not be worried that I'll have to walk her through re-flashing a new ROM on the phone since she's too far away for me to help her in person.
Main things to keep in mind for your evaluations/suggestions:
Stability
Battery Life
Performance
Thank you!
Well you can't go wrong with cm10. Slim bean is very fast, stable, and has good battery life. V3.0 was just released, set it up and let her run with it.
If she is a little tech savvy, paranoid android is gangbusters, super smooth, stable and has given me the best battery life I've seen since I was running stock. The features of the ROM are not difficult to figure out, just requires a little trial and error.
Also keep in mind cm10.1(android 4.2), and all its variants should be available to the vibe soon.
If that's not the route you want to take, cm7.2 stable release is nice as well.
???
If i were you, I would go with a 2.2 room, namely bionix 1.3

I've been on Paranoid Android now for... seems like a really long time. Probably 2-3 months maybe?
Its rock solid. I was on Helly Bean before, and I liked it too. I'm the kind of person that when I find something I like, I hate to change it. On a tip from my bro Gunny, I hopped from HB to PA and haven't looked back. All the features are there, plus more. Not knocking HB at all. Its just a preference.
It would be like me telling you that you HAVE to like chocolate swirl ice cream. I like it, but I like Superman Ice Cream better. ?
He said stable for sister no time for fixing anything.....hmmm. cm10 would be best. Then when you get the chance later just go to about phone update the ROM when you get your hands on it. Easier to keep someone else updated with cyanogenmod. Or try euroskank cm10 also a good stable ROM. I like pdroid, slimbean, and etc. But for your sister hit her with simple cm10

Well, you certainly have a number of routes that you could go man...really it's somewhat dependent on how well your phone responds to certain builds. Honestly, if what you're really looking for is "Battery, Stability, and performance" I'd suggest go no higher than ICS, with Froyo being my suggestion merely on accomplishing those three points to the fullest. With that being said, if you'd like to go the JB route, then you can't go too too wrong with PA, since it's a solid rom. But again, it's really dependent to some extent on specifically what you want to accomplish. Froyo definitely meets all of those requirements in spades, as do some ICS builds (Zen, Rem come to mind)....fewer even still for JB, but I'm sure with the right build, and kernel with a little tweaking, your sister could do just fine running a jelly beaned Vibrant.
Thanks for all the replies, definitely much appreciated! I thought about going back to froyo, but it seems like my phone has handled ICS and JB pretty well considering the age of the phone. I have been on ICZen and that was pretty good so I will think about that. I'm going to try Paranoid since it would be nice to give her JB, and Hellybean has been pretty good, but I guess I need to try out Paranoid first.
EDIT: Quick question about Paranoid... Stock or 360?

360 for sure man..
360 vs. stock differences:
stock is CM10+PA options and is the base rom for 360
360 is my spin on for the rom changes include:
-latest Semaphore kernal "S"version
-patch lib files for greater ram availability
-Build.prop edits
-different system sounds
-GPS fixes and possible improvements
-Beats Audio enhancments thanks Awesome
-remove some unnecessary files
-remove stock live wallpaper
-and other such tweaks as I find them useful

I dont want to OC too much cus of battery life, I just need you help to direct me to Most Light and smooth and fast room that is currently available for SAMSUNG GS2
Thanks!
Rom recommendations are forbidden here; go to the two development forums, read some threads, make a nandroid so you can go back to your current setup in 5 minutes if you don't like a particular rom you try, and try some roms.
Mods will be closing this thread soonish.
