hey ! , I'm looking for a stable custom firmware , now i'm using the CM 9.1 but i would like to update for a better one.according to the official page thats the last one ,Which one would you recommend me ?
Shostock is one of the most stable firmware available out there currently.. u can also try miui.. both these roms are based on Samsung firmwares.. if u want a Aosp based firmware try supernexus.. the latest one is quite stable and there are a few bugs.. I guess it's still under development.. also try Aj kernel with Samsung based roms.. it's snappier..
Miui has been my favorite for the past few days..

How stable is MIUI for the SII?
I had installed on my girlfriends SII back in may, but the battery time was horrible. Is this any better now?

MIUI is stable.. its has been a daily driver for me for quite sometime now..battery is bad.. but I have a 3500mah battery.. and from my experience so its ok for me..
Ah, the batterything is the biggest issue. I really likes the simplicity of MIUI (thats a good thing for my gf), but last time the phone had like 5 hours of battery life –*and that just don't cut it.
I was hoping they had fixed the issue by now, since it is such a huge deal breaker for many.

Hello
I have just come from a htc sensation with an ICS rom with nova launcher, getting around 20 hours battery life and a no bugs ICS experience with nova launcher and a few tweaks such as miui battery bar, centre clock etc.
I am currently using pure ICS with nova launcher set the way I want and it's very good but the battery lasts about 8 hours and there are no tweaks.
Are there any other ICS roms with better battery life and some tweaks? I can always put nova launcher on top if it is not in the rom.
I don't use the phone an awful lot and have the exact same apps andwidgets as on my sensation, hence why the battery life is strange to me, is this normal for a sgs2?
I was using the same rom , then Andyx from both ics and battery life on both was pants, I then flashed cm9 experimental which is now on nightlies and I think its the dogs bollox, only downside is no USB connect to PC until they fix it, but using from manager premium you don't need a PC anyway everything is straight to the phone, a minor hiccup for an awesome rom

Have you got a link for that rom? I can't find it anywhere
Might as well wait for release of genuine Samsung ICS .

I have been using CM9 and it's working amazing only thing is you need to live with no MTP, video recording and certain other things I forget *thats what google is for* I highly recommend it!

you could try WajkIUI if you like MIUI im on this rom for 2 weeks now and i'm really impressed
you could also wait about 2 weeks for ics to be released officially by Samsung
Whatever happened to trying out ROMs for yourself......
ICS is so 2011 we want Jelly Bean
ALL ICS roms which I've tried are not suitable for day to day use. CM9 by codeworx was the best I tried. better wait for a stable release.
this is a beautifull rom [ROM][ICS]XXLPH SconcauTeam Revolution Custom ROM GS2 OTA version
Resurrection Remix ics v9.4 black edition XXLPH 4.0.3 FULL-Wipe is a nice rom - has a few bugs though ... f.e. i cant change the lockscreen image ... the gallery keeps crashing... i had problems syncing google calendar...
well there are some small problems, but its a nice rom so far - pretty stable, smooth and fast.

Great ROM. I didn't experience any FC's. Battery life is good. In my case 0 bugs so highly recommended! Check it out and see for yourself.

I don't want to try loads of roms, my main concern with my current one is the battery life so testing lots of roms isn't great for me as I need my phone at work, that's why I asked peoples opinions. I just want a nice ICS rom with a few tweaks and good battery life. I hate touch wiz so the official ICS update is no good for me.
The sgs2 is a lot faster than my sensation but with my current battery life I would rather swap back to the slower phone and get nearly three times the battery life.
There are also a lot of roms for the s2 hence why I asked people rather than trying loads and they also get updated nearly every day.
I suggest you don't go for ics just yet if your only real concern is battery and as for tw, tough luck I'm afraid.
Try the latest stock gb with neak custom kernels. Best battery life I ever had. Oh and on the subject of best roms, that's totally down to personal configuration.

Yes but ICS is a beta test rom base why not wait for roms to be built on the actual working firmware . I have yet to see one ICS beta based rom that does not have a problem or two and they tend to be random and varied judged by all the help ICS rom xxx dont work posts . Plus battery life is not that good on the leaks .
You might get ten replies that ICS zzz rom is good but wont see the hundred users that have removed it .

IMHO, best ICS rom out there. Using it for 5 days now (heavy user) - not a single FC in 5 days, very stable, fast, customization options rock! Battery life 12 hours really heavy usage / 24 hours moderate usage. No bugs, except video not saving and no FM radio, but these are known...
Hi, I'm new in xperia's modifications and stuff, but i had quite a few systems on my device. Unfortunately, none of them fits my expectations. I don't want to test any new roms any more, so i want some stable and fully functional.
My question is, what rom do you use for everyday usage?
I used ICS port for some time and it was the best for me... but it still wasn't it. Is there any ROM for me? Or am I stuck with a stock system?
Stock rooted ROM and modify as much as you want
Doing that on my LWW.
Same as Someguyfromhell. If you want the best stability, stock ROM is the best way to go! But if you want a ROM, my choices are in order from best (in my opinion) are:
1) Stock ROM
2) Hybrom_v16
3) Pro-X v2.2
4) Nerodroid Universal
5) Spartan ROM v2.0.5
I'm using Pro-X v2.2 right now and it's pretty sweet for now I'll stay with this one. Thanks for help!
Pro-X is very stable

Hey man i feel ya, ive got mini pro as well. Was testing roms and found nothing to be really what i wanted. but Ive been using the MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP for a good few weeks now and its been a real nice and stable rom. I have nothing but great things to say about it. haha. I use the phone mostly for whatsapp and instagram. so far i havent found any major bugs in it. its pretty fast too. Battery drain is not too bad. i can last almost two days with normal day to day on just wifi. with data i would need a charge after a day.

Hi all,
I keep reading but I don't seem to find a definite answer for this question. I read somewhere that because of i9300 processor (samsung didn't reveal the codes or sth) the performance and battery life on Custom ROM based on AOSP and CM is not as satisfactory as Stock or Touch-wiz based roms.
Is this true? I love to use CM but the battery indeed seems to drain faster. Any idea of when i9300 users might get to use solid AOSP or CM based ROMs?
Thanks mates!
I am curious about this too. It seems that AOSP ROMS will always be imperfect as long as the Exynos codes arent released.

I have messed around with a few ROMS (mainly sammy based one's) and using a SAMMY ROM with a new launcher is a strong base.
Why not start by finding a good sammy based ROM (i'm using Viking ROM although may switch to HyperLight) get a nice setup, then you can simply backup and mess with ASOP & CM yourself knowing you have a rock solid alternative to fall back on.
You can make up your own mind then ^^

CM10 is still nightly build right? I tried some ROMs like slimbean and liquid smooth but the battery performance is significantly not as good as stock. Am i right?
Yes right...
The stock ROM gives awesome battery life...
I tried CM10 but it seems to drain battery faster...i mean not that faster...
On my galaxy sl i9003 you cant even imagine what actually battery drain is....
Life 7hrs and gone but on my S3 the battery is OK about a day or day and a half and still 34% left !!

Wah. A day and a half??? I can't even achieve it with stock rom. What kind of tweaks do you use?
I just rooted a while ago and have just been flashing ROM this and that. Have never tried custom kernels or mods.
Would love to hear some tweaks that will last me 1.5 days with CM10. haha. Share with me bro.
If you can tolerate the few minor issues/glitches here and there, nothing beats CM10.

okay. So i do not need any kernel and tweaks for excellent battery life is it?
tried so often cm9&cm10, lately slimbean.
was AOSP fan on my desire, but not on the s3 (yet)
none of them made me stick to AOSP for more than 1week...
too many "bugs" - minor things who annoyed me like: **** camera&video (unstable), battery life, calling bugs (low voice volume) etc
ive to admit that slimbean + siyah kernel beats everything, the battery life is rly nice (nearly liek sammy roms). siyah kernel helps alot concerning the battery life on AOSP!
still ive to use a sammy rom cuz of stability and reliability.
id look forward to a fully working AOSP rom, hopefully soon.

What good is a ROM that is stable (as in doesn't crash) but ISN'T fully functional (as in has issues w/ hardware) ?
I want a ROM that is both stable and fully functional, even if it isn't the benchmark champion.
For me, the stock ROMs offer the best of the 2 worlds: they are stable and functional.
Yeah, let the flame start, but I am yet to see an AOKP/AOSP/CM ROM that doesn't have a single issue with hardware.
So, stock ROMs for me are the winner.
I use NOVA Launcher Prime, BTW, but the TouchWiz that came with today's stock JB (France, XEF) is extremely fast and as customizable as Nova Launcher.

Hello there,
I'm just looking for some help regarding my abismal battery that I'm using in my Samsung Galaxy S2.
I have recently updated my handset to the latest release of Android Jellybean 4.1.2 and the battery life sucks!
I do the usual "Turn off your WiFi and Bluetooth, GPS" e.c.t but I barely get a day from a full charge.
I am thinking about downgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread as I got a lot more from my device with these Operating Systems.
What should I do?
Many Thanks
Kieran.
You cant expect more than a day with jellybean 4.1.2, your phone run fast, with lots of features. All you can do is flashing unofficial rom, which got tweaks to save battery. Or upgrade your smartphone with official battery pack 2000mah which extend your battery life lots.
Im running Omega v24 based on official jelly bean 4.1.2 and upgraded battery samsung 2000mah and battery life is amazing to compare what this software offers.

Seconding the genuine 2000 mAh battery pack. The back cover that comes with it just makes your phone flush instead of having the weird inward bulge that the stock battery gives you. Even cooler!
I'm currently happy running NeatROM 4.8.

Well mate, i can tell u this..the stock ROM update is like dat only..pretty disgusting & battery hungry..FCs are also there...am sure u haven't explored the capabilities of ur S2 phone by rooting it..
Well there are loads of custom roms dat will give u good battery life and loads of customization options..I have rooted my S2 the day i bought it .. Neat ROM, WanamLite, are some good Samsung based ROMS..Rock STABLE.. I have tried em all.. and good battery life also.
Currently am running on ASNET MIUI V5 rom.. excellent feel..and good battery..faster response..u can also try it..
am sure this ld b helpful for u..dunt wry bout the battery drain..try coming to custom roms and enjoy the full potential of S2
Hit the Thanks Button if u think the info was helpful..

hi all
this problem is similar with my battery life
i got this Issues after flash Kitkat cyanfox
i changed my rom to C11
but the problem didnt fix yet
need calibre ?
I would like to know which version of CyanogenMod you prefer for daily use. Although nightlies are not meant for daily use, I think some users do.
Do you like to see updates every day and use the latest state of the ROM or do you prefer to have a rock solid ROM and wait for the next step until there's a RC or stable? And why?
Actually I am switching between stable and nightlies within days, because I cannot decide which one to use. I love nightlies, because I am curious for the latest features/bugfixes/else. But when a bug occurs, I always think: "Well, the stable version has only minor differences (for me) but is stable. Let me switch back." And after a few days I am curious what has changed. ^^
How about you? Stable or nightly?
There are only 2 stable versions since ics..
Cm9 stable
Cm10.1 stable
Cm9 has extreme battery life but its old now..cm10.1 is good n new but battery life is poor.. (yes it is)
I am currently using last cm10 nightly ... i guess 16/12/12
Works like a charm wid decent battery life.
and 10.2 nightly builds are good enough for daily use (only down side is poor battery life for me)
Yes. Ice Cream Sandwich esp. 4.0.4 has the best battery life out of the box. Even with Samsung's stock firmware. The CyanogenMod of Jelly Bean is still much better than Samsung stock JB when it comes to energy consumption.
But this was not my question. ^^ It was more about whether 10.1 stable or 10.2 nightly at the moment.

I would prefer the stable version
Nightlies arent safe (few nightlies back.. i restored a nandroid backup which wiped my entire internal storage) i reported the issue and it was confirmed by others too.
So i would suggest staying wid 10.1 stable .. 4.3 has mostly under the hood changes.. and m not a maniac to be on latest Android version irrespective of its stability
I'm with 10.3 nightly from 24/9 good for daily use, battary is better for me too:good:

I used to use only stable images. But now i updated form i9000 to i9100 and using multiboot with dormanx kernel i test a lot of nighlys
tried 10.1 stable and the only thing stable about it was how bad it run. Camera force-closing, random reboots, etc. Same experience I had back in the day with CM9. Switched to ASOP and I'm never ever giving CM another chance again.
Always checking out the the latest release, doesn't matter if it's stable or nightly.:good:
Normally I'd have flashed an M Snapshot but there was nothing uploaded for the S2. In the CyanogenMod news I've read that they would push M snapshots onto the servers last night, but there is nothing appearing for the S2. Well, seems like I have to wait until a somewhat stable-like release for us is uploaded, I don't really wanna use the nightlies because I need my phone for everyday use and bugs are bad
