Hey guys, I just came from a Xperia x10 (which made me very happy by the way), and after one day of stock-use I decided to change my S2 ROM, despite the stock ROM being already VERY SMOOTH. Uppon checking the development area I almost fell of my chair: There are tons and tons and tons of ROMs! Please guys, help a newbiew like me to choose a ROM! I want what everybody does, a super ultra fast ROM, with great battery like and customization.
And BTW, x10's custom ROMs improved perfomance alot, but do these Custom ROMs improve the perfomance that much? Because it's already so so so smooth!!!
Thanks guys!!
Start at Rom A and work your way through to Rom Z .
Or use the search button as this question has been answered ten thousand times or more .Even same question asked yesterday you could look at that post .
Improvements not much .
Personal choice of rom = Cognition .
But until you can understand the differences stick with stock .
jje
Go with Cognition..That is one stable and good battery life rom. Comes with many tweaks to it as well. Or CheckRom thats another good one...
But my favourite even though im trying other ones at the moment is BatistaRom. Themed rom very fast, smooth like butter and good battery life to it and my best out of all the ones out there
I'm not amazed by the SGS2's smoothness as I have an iPod Touch which shows what the definition of smooth is. trollin'
Anyways, Cognition is the way to go!
I haven't seen any topic like this, so I decided to make one. What's the best ROM you have used? ICS/GB, doesn't matter. I'm using MiniCMSandwich Lite atm, and I think it suits me the best.
Stock ROM (cleaned) for both platform. > For stability on most condition
Hybroman on both platform. > Eye Candy/ stable and easy to customize
Spartan (GB only) > Battery efficiency, light and simple
Its different according to people. Why don't you try it on your own for a better experience?
I thnk he's trying to create a thread where all the users will share their experience on the ROMs that they have used and rank them accordingly.

Exactly, I just want people to share their thoughts about ROMs they have used and which is the best for them.
For me ExMIUI is very good in terms of features and it has an absolutely gorgeous UI. And it is very stable and is very much suitable for daily use.
And Polish Blood AOSP ICS is the one to go for if you are after raw speed. No customization only Google stuff and you won't believe how fast it is. My daily driver for a couple of weeks.
Currently using MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP v4 Final. Its fast. But has a few bugs though.

MIUI seems childish to me. And too iOSey. But I will give it a try.

Sure it's IO'sey... But I wouldn't say childish... It's packed with features.
But honestly, if you are after speed, try Polish Blood. It is not as functional as AOSPlite, but more than makes up for in speed.
MiniCMSandwich(stock kernel v2) but on LWW not worked stereo and when disable xloud only one speaker is playing.
Which roms (or rom families, really) are best for which purposes? I know some are designed to be fast and lightweight, while others go for the richest user experience, or other specialized purpose/situation.
My question is how can I find out the aim of the various roms?
The rom threads focus mostly on features provided and what rom family (if any) they based it on. Since I have no idea the aim of the original rom family (aokp, cm, miui, etc.) it's hard to decide which one is right for me.
Which player do you have?

Stock ROMs, which most of the customs ROMs out there are based on, are probably the most stable but the performance won't be as good.
CM7 and CM9 are slim and super fast, while MIUI, which is Cyanogen-based, has a bit more eye candy at the cost of performance. AOKP is very similar to CM9, except as far as I know the team has added many tweaks and features to make the experience more pleasant. Both are good choices if you're looking for ICS.
Hope this clears up some of the questions you may have
Thanks, Klin. That's exactly the sort of info I'm looking for.
and I'm running the USA 5.0, fgcu. It was either this or an ipad, and avoiding itunes was worth the extra $20 (ipods were on sale that week).
If you are looking to install a rom, I recommend what I have listed down below. The dev of the rom is currently updating it to 2.3.6 and I can't wait for it. It will deffinitely fix the wifi drop bug and a slightly better Gingerbread version. You do need to install a custom rom though and the one below is also a good one too.

This was my rom of choice back when I was running GB. In my opinion it is the most stable rom available for the Player 5.0. This rom is pretty fast and light as it is based on a stock GB rom.
I would also recommend this rom as it is also very stable.
For general use I would say use GB as everything works, but you can also get ICS roms if you want but all of the ICS roms in the development section have pretty major issues e.g. the camera does not work. Take a look in the development section and read the user comments/reviews/bug reports
Hi everyone,
Since there are tons of ROMs for our great SGA, I would like to suggest the concept of ROM of the week.
This would consist in posting your oppinions about which is the best ROM for you, what do you like the most and why others should try it.
I will be reading as many posts as I can, and every Sunday I'll choose which are the 3 favorite ROMs based on what you guys think.
This should be the format:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of the ROM (link to its thread)
Pros: stability, battery, smoothness, etc...
Cons: bugs, errors, FCs, ...
Other thoughts...
------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you guys like the idea and make this become a sticky thread someday!
I will start:
SGSII JB ROM v10.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453165
Pros: Very very stable. Smooth, no lags at all. Normal battery life as it's based on stock. Nice SGSII theme. 14 toggles and extended power menu.
Cons: Based on DDKQ8, not really a con, but there are newer stock Roms already.
It's really worth a try. If combined with PSN kernel, one of my favorite Roms.
I'm sorry, but every comparison thread is a no no in my eyes.

Hello,
I found similar thread, but last post was almost 2 years ago.
So, I am asking what are actual benefits of installing CM or AOSP rom compared to stock one?
The next thing, are there some major bugs in non-stock roms?
I am not asking which of rom is best or better than another, I just want to know about comparison and benefits.
Stock has the better side for battery but aosp/cm/aokp has no lag.
Go for a stock custom ROM like alliance ROM ect ect..
They have the look of aokp/cm but keep the great battery life.
you can do a lot of customization on AOSP rom......
plus there is some nice new feature you can try out.....
CM is ok for daily use.....
