I just recently got my SII and im fairly new to flashing roms. I rhad SUpernexus for a week or so and one thing that i noticed is that the camera on that rom is not on par with the stock camera of s2 jb 4.1.2. is this issue the same for all roms/stock roms? Are stock rom cameras always better than custom roms? I know there are a lot of market camera apps but i think all they do is enhance your picture using effects. It doesn't improve your picture clarity, reduce noise, etc. like the stock rom camera. That's the reason I'm sticking with stock rom despite the awful appearance of touchwiz. I usually do low light shots indoors but custom roms perform so bad on low light, sometimes in daylight also.
The camera is due to Samsung not releasing source code I think. If you want stock camera but hate touch wiz try chameleon rom

Not only is it comparable, but it is exactly the same. The camera is the actual Sammy camera as the ROM is based on the stock framework. Try the ROM, its fantastic :good:

Battery life is the same as stock, but its heavily varied according to what apps you use, if you have sync on, wifi, data etc etc. It *should* be a bit better (but we are talking marginal, if not fractions) as the ROM does not include the bloat that completely stock Samsung ones do (like Samsung maps services, hubs etc)
It all comes down to kernel really, I use Apolo 4.7 and while I only see 3hrs screen on time and almost 2 days standby until flat, It is pretty good for me! Edit: with WiFi and sync always on
Stock PhilZ is also great, clean and smooth!

Wow great. 3 hours screen time with heavy use like games or just texting? Hey can you suggest a good kernel. Is siyah of any good or the stock kernel is already good paired with the chameleon?

Overall -cm. For me battery life lasted longer in cm than stock. And obviously features add to it.

CM Permission management is the biggest selling point, I love the fact that is integrated and no need to install extra apps or modify apks, plus the 640*480 video recording, last time I checked stock only lets you record video at 320*480, then of course the pletora of additional features and the coolness level
nice idea to make a poll like this
Definitely cm!

my opinion
CM!
Why? (This is just my opinion, i don't wanna pi** anybody off with this.)
Stock has some samsung-only apps like "AllShare" etc. but i dont care about these.
And it has its own contacts browser which supports quick call/sms by swiping over the contact. i really love that feature, but the pros of cm are alot more:
- its looks better (menu effects from ics etc.)
- it has awesome customization options
- it has the theme chooser <3
- and the most important thing: it defo runs faster/better!
i prefer stock based roms
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
i love cm but can`t install in my galaxy pro,no custom flash recovery anywhere
Stock with CF-Root b84.
it seems cm is more desired than stock ...still what's the upside for stock?
CM7 More speed and better Performance and better Settings
i wait for CM9 Beta
(Custom) Stock. Full stability and more comfortable for daily usage.

stock FTW
for me its modified stock... Ive tried loads of roms and so far omega rocks my world and my phone....
there's some kind of magic when you revert from CM to stock... you know... all working as they should, you have the assurance that your phone won't give up on you. The thing is though after a few minutes on stock and having tried CM you miss lots of things which I can't be bothered to mention now.
So CM for me!
yea...once i use cm and tried back to stock ( based rom) it feels rather odd ...and limited =(
Hi fellas ,
I'm a new galaxy S2 user..
I want a Rom which should be CM9 or AOKP or AOSP based and camera and video recorder should work flawlessly...
Samsung roms are welcome too if they look like stock AOSP...
thnks all in advance..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
You seem to know how to get around so I suggest flashing the latest CM9 nightly For me (and almost everyone ) it works without any probs
I'm using a ROM compiled from the source by a developer here based in the latest google official source (4.0.4) with latest cm9 kernel 3.0.28 wich make the phone FULLY FUNCTIONAL, Check it out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604366
also watch my video in my signature where shows how the roms works.
Right now I'm on hydrogen 14.04 rom,
Its latest AOKP Based,
Everything works except autofocus in main camera and led in video camera...
Will try CM nightly soon

Even being Lazy i can Live without toggles, i rather a clean aosp experience
I suggest ICS Resurrection Remix Pro, amazing rom highly suggest it, it doesnt have toggles to worry about, just base AOKP goodness
Bro Hydrog3n is also AOKP based and moreover , i tried the camera update from westcrip's page and it didn't came to any use ....
Same problems there too just pinch zoom added in UI
Does the LED in camera works for you ?
And what about autofocus without macro mode on ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
The camera drivers for the SGS2 are proprietary which makes it more difficult for devs building from AOSP to get features working with the non-Touchwiz camera app, these issues exist in all AOSP based ROMs for the moment, I'm sure there are devs working on it but it may be quite a while before it works as well as it does on Samsung ROMs for obvious reasons. If you want flawless camera you are more likely to find it on Samsung stock at least in the short term.
But my camera works just fine on cm9

Working and working without bugs are 2 different things, there are still issues with the CM9 camera, and since the OP wanted flawless, I wouldn't call it that at the moment.

Yeah he's absolutely correct...
I've wiped the camera data and video LED started working, but autofocus really needs fixture...

Hi all,
Can you please place your rom suggessions about player 5.0(YP-G70)... Which rom you prefer and why?
Eryigit GB-ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144
Chip v1.5 GB-ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737432
I used both of them, both are great, stable and fast.
If you want the ICS look and feel, use Chip ROM.
PARANOIDANDROID JB-ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083052
This is also a great ROM, it has a Hybrid Engine that allows you to switch to Tablet mode or Phablet mode.
But the camera, bluetooth, and headset still don't work. besides that everything's good.
There is also a huge noticeable improvement in performance.
Hope This Helps!
i'm currently using eryigit rom, but it's beeing laggy. Free ram is around 60mb and this causes problems while usng programmes.
i'm planning to try chip rom...
by the way, camera and bluetooth is important. so it seems i can't use cm9 based roms.
any other suggessions?

Actually, Supermaster has made a patch for Bluetooth in cm9 and you can still take pictures in cm10. The preview is just a little weird but the picture comes out fine

Totally agree with using Chip!!! Loving it! Gingerbread stability ICS look & feel!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211148
Introduction:
Hi everyone! I'm currently running Chip v1.5 with Entropy's kernel on my US YP-G70. It's great, but I'm wondering if there is a faster ROM to use (eg: less CPU use and less resource-consuming background processes). JoyOS seems great but I'm wary of the slow wireless connecting and iOS theme.
What I'm Looking for (MUST):
- fully working camera (taking photos and videos, and not just on fastburst)
- working wi-fi and bluetooth
- GPS compatibility with Gapps (apparently some ROMS - forgot which specifically - have GPS issues)
- Built-in non-stock launcher (as in the stock launcher is removed and some other launcher is installed as the only and default launcher)
- light (low RAM usage, like LewaOS claims 200 MB+ free)
- fast
It Would Be Nice to Have...
- customizable lockscreen built-in (or an option to disable the lockscreen so I can use WidgetLockscreen without excess processes)
- overclocking (don't worry - I won't go crazy and set it above 1.2-ish)
- Samsung bloatware removed
Closing Statement:
Please comment below to suggest me some ROMs that satisfy the above conditions. With the requirement of a working camera and bluetooth, I'm probably looking for a Stock/GB-based ROM. On a last note, I know you devs out there put a lot of work into your ROMs, so I hope I'm not coming off as unappreciative.

Perhaps the tweaks you mentioned deal with those? Btw thanks, TheKryptonite, for helping me out again.

Bluetooth works and both cameras work (albeit you can only take pictures with the rear camera using FastBurst). There is also a video fix zip file floating around that will give you video recording functionality.
I wouldn't really call it working when you can take 800x480 "pictures" but always something. 3mpx quality was awfuk too. I have to try that fastburst

Because capturing pictures doesn't work, only preview does. So they take screenshots using fast burst. But image previews are bad quality. So they're trying to fix the camera

as far the the best performing rom u really should stick with stock based roms. that just my advice if you were to update u must realize that you must sacafice a few features but your than also get a ton of new minor ones back i guess it just depends on your own preference.
I'm not looking for jb roms in particular, so gb-in fact, any-roms are fine with me, given they satisfy the criteria, of course

It isn't. It has good battery life; the camera seems to work. Of couse, the quality isn't all that good, but, fact is, the camera works (at least, for me it did).
Chip ROM [GB]
If you want a stable ROM and good quality in terms of camera, i suggest Chip ROM [GIngerbread].
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264671
CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android JellyBean 4.2.2)
Also it has no major bugs.
hi... I've tried a few ROMs as well but the issue is that in some ROMs the camera doesn't work.
Can someone please recommend a good fast ROM which lets the camera work...
my 2 cents
If you need high quality pictures using the camera, then you must go with a gingerbread ROM, like Chip, Erygits, or REDD. Jellybean ROMS are faster and the camera works using 3rd party apps, but the pictures are much lower in quality, in my humble opinion.
