Hey lads and ladettes,
I'm trying to find a good rom with some decent customisability but the main things I want are 25 toggles, low RAM usage (around 400-550mb after boot), fast, with good battery life.
I was using Foxhound 2.0 which was great but wanted some of the upgrades in 2.4 so flashed and started experiencing random reboots. After that I moved to Ultima v11 but the RAM levels never drop below 720mb which makes speed and multitasking an absolute MYTH! I'm about to try odexing the rom to see if it makes a difference but can anyone recommend an alternative?
Thanks in advance

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 .

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!
Hi guys ,
as you are well aware I'm new here, and have made an account on XDA so I can share my opinion and also read yours in hope of a solution.
Anyway I'm currently running an official 2.3.6 ROM on my Ace, and have gone through just about everything the Development section has to offer, from TheMyths' ICS to unofficial CM7 Kang builds, but I'm still looking for a perfect blend of stability, battery, lag free (smooth) ROM's.... And need help deciding.
So far I've noticed that the CM7 builds seem to have the best performance (benchmarked by Quadrant standard) and works fine, however I haven't had the time to observe the battery life...
Ultimately an ICS clone would be sick, I love the style, since CM looks fugly in my opinion.
Also would like to know what kind of tweaks you guys use for your Aces' to get a little extra juice from your batteries...
Thanks
Hm....You could try and use SGS2 rom from space caker,or gingercruzt or infinity,both from nims11

Try Gingercrutz rom by Nims11. The ROM is jet speed with cool looks. Battery backup is also very good.Got 1+ day

The battery life, as reported by many users including me, tends to be rather relatively miserable.

If you want a very convincing ICS look alike, I suggest you pick out a CM7 build and download AChep's ICS theme.

I'm using GadgetCheck's V8.5 Supercharger tweaks, plus Slaid's SlaidFASTMod V2.5 (not updating to his new LagFree scripts since I experience some odd UI lags here and there (ironically)).
If you really want to save on your batteries, try setting your governor to conservative or powersave (though powersave will lag your phone to the point of 1984) and don't overclock (flash a non-OC kernel, if you want).
And check out JuiceDefender. It'll turn off radio connections when the screen is off, and I saved around 165% worth of battery life with that app. The only downside is is that it ****s up with push notifications, and I need those for my IM and email.
EDIT:
I forgot, you asked for a specific ROM.
Well, I for stability and efficient battery consumption, I recommend you just stick with stock ROM (or something based on it), since it was compiled specifically for SGA hardware. My longest relationship with a stock ROM was fla.sh's fla.sh X2.3 ROM followed by sametpoyraz's Glsmt 2.1 (I know it says Glsmt 3.0, but a download link was never provided). Both of them are considered dead projects, but that doesn't mean that the ROMs aren't half bad!
Thanks [/QUOTE]
i've had problems flashing 2.3update of that rom, have you tried the rom?
I Am useing The Infinity Rom Final And Its Great With Performace And Good With Battery Life!
Bye And Salam.

For stability and speed, I hands down recommend ICS Final. The rom I'm using. As for battery life, you can have the best battery with ANY kind of rom. Just check out the thread on my signature ;D
Thanks for all the replies to my thread thus far... will definitely try that SetCPU... As far as Slaids scripts go however, I did once try that but found my device would have lag, that being screen tearing.
Hi!
I used my P500 for some months with CyanogenMmat, which is really great but sometimes produced screen freezes.
Now I'm giving my phone to a technically less skilled person. To make sure this person enjoys the phone as much as I did, I want to install an adequate rom for her.
In my opinion this means, the rom should be really stable and guarantee long battery life. Also it wouldn't hurt if the rom was quite up2date, but that's not the main issue.
Can you recommend me a rom?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,
I recommend you to give her the phone with rooted official GB because according to my experience, I believe that official one is the best for technically less skilled person and I also suggest you to install Player pro for best experience of music with its inbuilt 5 band equalizer and you may also use DSP pack but I think it will hard for her to adjust the 10 band equalizer..
Also suggest you to use flash player 11 for stock rom to enjoy online games and videos.. Search the XDA for the thread..
And no doubt that battery backup is good on stock roms. You can also use Juice defender app for enhancing the battery life.
If she use Stock rom definitely she will not face any problem with wifi, usb, 2G,3G or any thing else.
Press THANKS If I helped you.!!!
In my oppinion best stable is nightly4e and franco #4 kernel both combinations do extremly good job of preserving battery life
I am now using RESURRECTION 1.5, stock based and smooth so far
Both the wife and I are running oxygen with franco-4 and the wifes a junkie . Meaning phones always in her hand ... Making calls, texts, searching the net ,fb, playing smurfs and other games 75% of a day and she has never had any real problems other than a FC once or twice a week but phone always lasts her from 6:30 am till about 11pm. With her heavy use

i cannot suggest what are the best battery friendly kernel between the new ones(fk 4,roqxiii,ta 1.1,etc...) i think all of them are performance oriented
So as usual, our device has many fantastic ROMs available and before I continue, I wanna thank every awesome developer that takes the time out to work on them and make users that much happier with their SGSIII's.
With that said, I've been trying a few JB AOSP/AOKP ROMS and I wanted to get some user input on two particular ROMs (though you can mention any other ROM as well if you wish).
I've personally really enjoyed using ResurrectionRemix 3.x.x and FoxHound 1.x.
I wanted to know what your experiences have been with these two ROMS (in comparison to eachother). Pros/Cons, general comments, etc...
The things im looking at are Battery Life, Consistent Performance, Buggieness, and overall satisfaction.
Any comments would be appreciated! =D
Thanks!
PS.: Please also mention the kernel u used when running each ROM, for the sake of thouroughness.
I'm using RR and running Siyah latest dual boot 1.7RC kernel
I would like to say that I experience Good battery with WiFi or data On for nearly 12 hours and I could get 15% or less battery left at the end of the day. With heavy usage I forgot. This ROM is very smooth for me and I experience no lag.
I have not tried FH ROM thou.

Yeah that sounds roughly the same that i've been getting with RR and Siyah 1.7rc1. Although sometimes it would be more like 19 Hours of normal-medium usage, and sometimes it would be 10 hours for same usage. Sometimes it feels a little like it has its own temperaments. lol.
Stefan, I realize you are just asking for user input, but this is basically asking which rom/kernel combo is the best. Which comes down to this:

This phone is battery hungry, even with Lollipop's Project Volta scheduling system it won't make much difference, and our wonderful devs can't get it working good enough for daily use... yet.
Honestly, I have found the EclipticRez to the best for battery life of every ROM I have tried, followed by Evervolv and Talon, no newer ROMs have been better. Honestly, if I had to go back to the Rez now, I would probably use Talon.
^Yes!!! Talon has been the absolute best in battery for me. I've never really seen anyone talk about the BEST pure AOKP ROM for the Rezound PERIOD! It's Android 4.2.2 but it runs like a champ.
So you gys suggest talon
Talon vs stuck rom = talon better? Well i may try,
any other suggestions ?

Talon for AOSP/AOKP style OS or EclipticRez for Sense based... These are clearly the best in battery life.
