Custom ROM then...

Google did not release 4.1.2 for the S2, Samsung did.
If you're looking for a stock Android experience then it's a custom ROM in afraid.

And what custom ROM you recommend?

Read the rules, I can recommend any ROM because I'm not you, so my choice might not be as good as you'd wish.
Read, try and choose.

If you want stock google experiance search for AOSP based ROMs. They give the best stock experiance.

Thanks very much for your help.

I can understand your feeling friend but recommending Rom is a big no no here. No one would do it. Everyone has his own preferences. The Rom I like can't be someone else's favorite. Everyone here has tried many Rom before settling with any one Rom. That too only for few days. There are so many good Rom you would love to try YOURSELF. Read the changelogs. See the screenshots. Then decide what to try. Best of luck. Ask any further doubt you have.
One more thing. Don't say thanks. Press THANKS button on the left.

Look at the Index Of Roms at the stickies, there you can find all the roms sorted by their base (Samsung based for example). And follow the answers the one above me gave

Best custom Rom for the Note?

What is the best custom rom for the Note? I'm interested in the ICS but I hear there are several bugs still.....

I've tried all ics roms but decided to go back to gb for the time being. Ics roms are nice but I encountered to many fc. I'm currently on the unofficial and so far I very happy. Everything is very smooth. If you decide to use the rom, please make a little donation toward a great cause.

Several No.......but there are some. i get Zero Fc's. only real bug that i see is that i can not add a contact via my phone i have to do through a browser(which i can still do through my phone)
other than that, the UI is a big jump from GB to me. give them a try. the MOST IMPORTANT thing when flashing ICS is to make sure and "WIPE CORRECTLY"
There is no best ROM, only what's best FOR YOU. And no one can tell you what that is.
Try them and decide which you prefer.

What he said . On that note, thread closed.

Which ROM?

Hi I'm just wondering about which custom ROM I should use.I'm interested in a ROM with no lag,very good battery life and is either ICS or JB.
Thanx
There is no such rom yet for ICS or JB.
If you want good battery and no lag you should absolutelly flash popdog's Oxygen rom.
Or you can try gingersnap by neko.

As _viren_ said, there is no perfect ROM. You'll have to try the ROMs to find what's suitable for you. There are ROMs based on stock LG firmware, on AOSP, CM 7/9/10, ROMs based on other ROMs. Take your pick. If you like one, stick with it.
Or, as we all like to do, go on a flashing spree just for the heck of it.

Try to flash roms then choose which best suits for you.

I think you have to read the corresponding ROM threads deeply, then be confident to check some ROMs on your phone by yourself.
Every user has different needs. So the best for the one might not be the best for the other.
P.S.: And be careful with your question for the best ROM => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612881
Ok as I mentioned before I had flash and use many roms

Also I dont need to now the best rom by its name just

It's all subjective.. Every single person has a different opinion.
And he's not being "hard", he's pointing out the rules for you, since you obviously didn't read them before you posted

There is no best ROM and asking this is against the forum rules.
There is CM10 and ROMs based on CM10. Flash and see which is best for your use.

CM10 is still in nightly builds so you won't get some of your components working and still will have lots of bugs, Stock jb is currently better... But still i wont tell you to use it, try stable roms like revolt which is based on CM10.
Try rephrasing your question like "which rom is advised or suggested CM10 or stock JB? "

Symbian.
Getting user opinion ain't the same thing and avoids a lot of hassle and gives a better understanding for example if I and several people suggest a to friend to get a DROID instead of the closed Apple iOs i am doing him a lot of favor, saving him time and money.

Between the two CM10 is faster but graphics processing might be slightly less buggy in the stock, anyway the current stock jb is a leaked version and it won't be the same as an official stock version. I recommend you use CM9 stable if looking for a great gaming experience. Or if you are insistent on JB then look at other custom roms like the one I mentioned before.

[Q] Choosing the right ROM/Kernel 4 performance

Hey every1
so I wanted to fix a SGS3 of a friend of mine who isn't so much into modding. His phone lags like hell, keyboard and calls, just everything. I'm personally on a GNEX and couldnt stay one minute with a phone in this condition.
Well i thought about Supercharge his phone, maybe also changing the Kernel before, but leave the rest stock... but maybe it wont be enough and I'll have to flash him a ROM.
Now I ain't got a SGS3 to flash me trough all kind of ROMs in order to see for myself what works and what not.
So what I'm asking for are some recommendations. The ROMs for SGS3 are all different then then these on GNEX...
There are many and i want to reduce my options to lets say 3-4 ROMs and some kernels...
Anyone?
Thanks
This is so gonna turn into a best ROM/Kernel thread...

Well.... i dont search for the best ROM since its very individual. I search for one that is near to stock and stable. My friend won't need any customization...
Then try what's available. Read the different rom descriptions.

too much Im just asking for some names dude, I will read them then... just to cut down the options available, so less work...
On my personal opinion, I'll suggest CheckROM.
I've used it as a daily all round rom juiced with latest siyah kernel.
No lags and no un necessary batterydrain.
Sorry for my bad english, as this is my first post to englis only forum in ages
