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.

Actually, I would love to use CM 10.1 with Sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252851) to get that wonderful 441MB RAM but people keep saying that neither bluetooth nor the camera works. 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

i only tried the AtrICS rom as an android 4.0+ rom and what i discovered was that the flasher is not timed correctly. It flashes before the pic is taken so the pic is dark though the flasher is on. And the flasher brightness was also low. aren't you having such problems? If not in my opinion best camera app for an ICS or newer rom is camera JB+. i flashed back to mrom because there were many issues, not only camera problems. And now the camera's flasher is timed correctly back again and the flasher brightness is also strong as before. So if you are not using an android 4.0+ ROM i would go for camera ICS+ or Pro capture

oh really? i can't actually make a purchase right now so maybe you can give it a shot :fingers-crossed:
there is a 4.2 modded camera app that must be flashed in CWM, it enables a lot of features not avaible by default in the devices, you should search it in apps and games(or development) in Android General, dude, that is the best camera app i used in my phone, but ya know, opinion is like an a**, each one have its own.
The Leaked ICS camera app is the best I have used, is it possible to port it over to another ROM (CM10)?
Actually I use Wondershare PowerCam it's free, no ads, nice effects, faster startup time and maybe a better picture quality against my paid Camera Zoom Fx!
Now, I'm going to test FxCamera and Cymera
I have tried a few camera apps as well but ultimately settled on camera zoom FX. It takes pretty nice shots without having to surf through a bunch of set up options. but it also has features you might use down the road. I'm more of a point and shoot type person so YMMV.

Description
Hey everyone,
So, I was experiencing significant lag as we all do from time to time, and decided I was going to get to the bottom of it.
After tracing and debugging for hours, I discovered the source of 90% of Android's lag. In a word, entropy (or lack thereof).
Google's JVM, like Sun's, reads from /dev/random. For all random data. Yes, the /dev/random that uses a very limited entropy pool.
Random data is used for all kinds of stuff.. UUID generation, session keys, SSL.. when we run out of entropy, the process blocks. That manifests itself as lag. The process cannot continue until the kernel generates more high quality random data.
So, I cross-compiled rngd, and used it to feed /dev/urandom into /dev/random at 1 second intervals.
Result? I have never used an Android device this fast.
It is literally five times faster in many cases. Chrome, maps, and other heavy applications load in about 1/2 a second, and map tiles populate as fast as I can scroll. Task switching is instantaneous. You know how sometimes when you hit the home button, it takes 5-10 seconds for the home screen to repopulate? Yeah. Blocking on read of /dev/random. Problem solved. But don't take my word for it .. give it a shot!
Update!
I've built a very simple Android app that bundles the binary, and starts/stops the service (on boot if selected). I'll be adding more instrumentation, but for now, give it a shot! This APK does not modify /system in any way, so should be perfectly safe.
This is my first userspace Android app, so bear with me!
Note that this APK is actually compatible with all Android versions, and all (armel) devices. It's not at all specific to the Captivate Glide.

Well yeah lol, but this isn't just another build.prop entry but a full-blown hack. As the OP states, it technically lowers security and other randomized accuracy in favor of performance.
I'll integrate this into Turbo kernel so it runs in every slot.
P.S. Try setting zRAM to maximum with this on Better multitasking.

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?

Front camera works fine. The rear one has problems on saving the photo and some glitches on the preview. But since it woks at least on preview, some app like Fast Burst Camera simple takes a screenshots of the device. In other words the camera DO NOT fully works. Also the resolution of the photo taken by the app Fast Burst Camera is ~720x480 or 0.3 MP instead of 3.2MP, so the quality is much much worst.
Right on time I was just about to make a thread about this what is the easiest way to get Jelly Bean. I don't really care or need the camera it's pure **** as it is.

I was using no wallpaper in CM10.1, and when I flashed pacman and rebooted, I had no wallpaper. It wasn't until I went into settings and fooled with the theme and the pacman toggle (whatever that does) when lo and behold, the 4 pacman icons appeared. Having to resort to using a black image to hide those 4 icons seems so uncool.

I also would appreciate a newbie's step-by-step guide to installing (CM10.1/kernel 3.0 I guess) on the YP-G70.
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

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!
