Hey everyone,
I'm looking at flashing my first AOSP ROM and I was looking at LiquidSmooth which seems to be pretty stable at the moment and looks to be like what I'm looking for. I had a question about the overclocking features. Does LiquidSmooth OC out of the box? I'm looking to preserve my phone for as long as possible, so I'd like to avoid that if I can. Just want to make sure it's relatively safe.
Thanks.

From what I understand, LS 2.9 comes packaged with a stock CM kernel and it is not able to be OC'd.

I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

1. there's no exact answer to which rom or kernel gives the best batt life. u should actually test them to see which fits your preference. there are also threads here which does benchmarkings and testing out batt life. try searching for them.
2. when u install a custom rom, it will say on their thread on what baseband version they based their rom. for example, LeoMar's ROM is based on KH3, etc. the rom chooses it for you basically.
3. the latest is 2.3.4, and almost all custom ROMs are based on 2.3.4. no need to flash anything extra
Ok so do I actually have to find a XXKG2 or MUGKG2 based ROM or I can take anything? And from personal experience which one do you think is the best one?
you can actually take in anything (at least your phone's getting an updated baseband version thru the custom roms).
i'm not quite sure how the different versions of the baseband affects my phone. i don't notice any difference in performance actually.
Aight!!! Thanks man. Which one do you recommend?
you can try using the dlev2 rom version 1.2 , its indeed great and also has good battery life

cognition or litening rom can be good choices to start with.
leomar rom gives a lot of customization options because it has a kitchen app on the android market.
My recommendation is that you read some more, get comfortable before you flash anything on your device, know what you are about to get into instead of going on someone else's opinion, the questions you ask are of someone who doesn't fully understand what they are about to do.
It helps when you read a lot, you are able to think your own way through if something doesn't go exactly as planed, else you would have to come right back here to ask a million questions
you can find official firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
as a few posts above i agree what that person said..do a bit more reading before you start flashing. i can remember the time when i wanted to start flashing and rooting and when i did not back up the stock rom the first time i panicked and i did not know what to do and how to get back the stock rom...funny now but back then not so funny..
anyway research play with your stock rom for a while and then flash...for custom rom i would suggest a few...Im using BatistaRom 3.7.7 its the smoothest fastest and battery efficient rom i have used so far...even when i go and try other roms i always come back to this one. For battery as well VillainRom 2.4.2 is one heck of a custom rom and the battery life on that bad boy is wicked..
With regarding kernels again it varies...read the threads of the rom you are interested in flashing and see what people suggest on them..
good luck and be careful when rooting and flashing. any help you need throw me a PM..
Yeah, there are like tons of ROMs and customizations for SGS2 and all major developers are cooking something or the other for our GS2...
Selection of ROM depends only on taste. Some people wants battery life, some people wants only speed and performance. So ask yourself, what kinda ROM you need. One built from scratch, one modded from stock, AOSP?
I use GingerMod Vanilla 0.4. Suits my taste
Hey all, I've recently rooted, unlocked, and installed a AOKP rom on my I777, and the rom has some really cool features for a custom kernel (overclocking, fast charge, etc.) I have been poking around google and the forum to find a good kernel to install for my phone, and I'm new enough at android hacking that I dont want to risk ruining my phone by installing the wrong one.
So my question is, what is a good stable kernel that works for the I777 that supports as many tweaks and goodies as my phone can handle?
also, if my rom says it supports a feature like fast charge or what have you, that doesn't necessarily mean my phone itself will be able to use it, correct?
Thanks in advanced!
I don't know the first thing about porting over a rom but was wondering if there is a possibility that this rom is portable to our device? If it is and no one else wanted to build it, is it very hard to build?

It looks like it has similar features to Pac-Man which is a mix of up CM10.1, AKOP and Paranoid, might wanna give that a shot in the mean time.
I must say, I've been curious about that rom as well.
Hi.
I'm kind of lost in all of the different ROM's around here. Could you advise me which one to use?
I'd like to have stable ROM for everyday use with gapps and good battery life/managment.
I don't need the latest editions, just basic functions without bloatware.
(I would keep using rooted stock ROM but it started to act up...)
cm9 or cm 10

Hi all, im a new galaxy s 2 user, but i've allready tried a lot of roms from xda. As for me, a dont care about what android version it is based on( exept gb obviously) i need a stable and a good battery rom to use it daily, just for web surfing, and music while driving. Unfortunately, i really dislike stock samsung interface, so best choice for me is aokp/cm based rom. Now im using hydra h20 rom, it seems to be stable and battery friendly, but maybe i've missed some other good roms to try, so, my question is, what rom will you recommend me( or other users with same aims) to try?
Sorry for my english, its not my language
