All good & well posting to draw attention to that directive, but there isn't much point if you're not even going to report this thread.

Best rom is the one that you install on your phone and then go ahead and do some research regarding kernels and cpu apps like Setcpu or Voltage Control play around with them and test it for yourself. No point other people telling you what rom is best to go for and etc. Cause i could suggest you something and you might come back and say blah blah man you suggested this rom and the drain is stupid why the **** you suggested it to me and so on.
So go into the original development and there are few roms there. Read the first pages and then try and read like the last ten pages of a rom thread you like the look of and see what people say and you can get your answer there.
Also top right there is a search button..Use that to for getting answers to any questions you have or even better use google... Not having a go just telling you what other users will come and say to you as well
The best rom is the rom you test to see how it works for you. No two SGS2's come out of the factory the same (variance in components/"quality" thereof), no two users have the same phone setup and no two users have the same usage patterns.
In other words, check the development sections of the boards for the various threads devoted to the different roms. Read up about the features/pros/cons for each rom, and the different experiences other users have had with the rom. Ask questions if necessary in those threads (Not "how do I save battery/make my battery last longer, however ).
In other words, pick a rom and try it out for yourself
I'm betting (being a betting man and all ) this thread is not long for this world i.e it's getting closed soon-ish.
For you? Stock.

I was just going to post the same as the guys above.
ROM's work differently on different handsets (that may have the same model number), because you're going to have different software installed than the next guy. You have to do your own homework!!
Imagine asking 10000 people which flavor of ice cream you're going to like best. That's the same. Those people can't tell you which flavor you're going to like best because they don't know exactly what you like.
Good luck. Try stuff out...
Hi deepmob,
I appreciate you posting this in the correct section, but as our Senior Members have so eloquently put it, just try them until you find one that works. There is no "best".
With that, thread closed.

[Q] S3 Features in S2

Hi All,
Now that the GS3 has been launched, the most impressive features seem to be the software features than hardware ones. I am especially impressed by "Smart Stay" or "Direct Call".
Any possibility of porting these features to GS2 in a custom ROM? What do you all think? Have anyone started working on those already?
regards,
Nandi

[Q] Custom ROMS

Hi guys, new to the forum and fairly new to android, I've got a galaxy s3 international version locked to the three network in the UK, I've been considering using a custom ROM but wanted to know your opinions?
Criteria for me are simple, I like the look of stock android so I want that or something similar, but I like the functionality of TouchWiz so would like to retain that if possible. The only other thing is the quick settings/toggles on the notification bar in TouchWiz, this is something I now cannot live without so it needs to have that or something similar (tbh i just like the auto rotate, wifi and brightness toggles).
Thanks in advance guys, look forward to your answers.
Chris.
Welcome to the forums. Always check the stickies before you post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935514
the best thing to do is to try different ROMs for yourself. Everyone has their own preference and no 2 rom set ups are exactly the same.

Thanks for the advice, ill look into some roms and try a few out, another question i have though is whats the difference between the android development forum, and the original development forum?
Also in regards to checking the stickies about asking which rom is best I did not ask that, I simply asked for a recontamination from experianced users to help me find a rom which suited my specification, it wasnt as simple as which rom is the best, it was more of a "which rom can provide these features" kinda thing.
Thanks for the help though appreciate it, cant help but think how much better/faster my s3 will be without the samsung software

It will be much better. :highfive: I will be closing this though, as it will turn into a best rom thread and "who has more features" or "whose is more stable". Best thing to do is read up and try.

[Q] Freezing ROM

Hi!
I'm looking for a smoother ROM than the one I'm using right now. This one is a ROM provided by T-Mobile. But it freezes up a few times a day (while browsing internet), the battery heats up most of the time and this freeze can degrade the batterycapacity by 70%.
Can anybody advice me on this?
Galaxy s2, T-Mobile NL
OS Android 4.0.4
Cheers! El Jappe
@ Mods, maybe this isn't the right forum, can you refer me to the right place then?
Root, make a backup and try custom roms until you find what your looking for. Any major custom rom is probably better then T-mobile
Thanks for that! Any particular ROM you could advice me?

Decide for yourself. Don't let this become a 'best rom'-thread.

I think it's a bit late for that now Donnie.
OP - Try a bunch of rom out for yourself until you find one you like.

Why, thanks for the wristslapping. Always nice to get a warm welcome from experienced users, who didn't make it to the mod status themselves.
Any advices given with good intentions are deeply appreciated.
May the mods be with me
Want a loophole? ask if this could be a hardware issue and what ROM should you try.
Now, you really need advice on picking a ROM?
If the answer is yes here's my comeback:
".............."

Always nice to see people like you who are too arrogant to follow the rules and decide to make their own ones. However, they aren't quite welcome here because they are too lazy to do some research, like all of us (the fake mods, nice one, did you made that up all by yourself?) do.
If you're mad because of the plain, correct answers you have been given, maybe it's better to don't participate in this forum.

root and do backup and try another rom

4.2.2 - which ROM?

Hi,
I currently have HellyBean installed, but my phone heats up even when I open e.g. Chrome, which greatly affects battery performance and performance in general.
I'm now looking for a new ROM and Kernel, but can't decide. It should be slim, 4.2.2 and should provide good general and battery performance.
I would be thankful if you could recommend me one (I was taking a look at SuperNexus, don't know if that's a good one.)
Aokp mr1 milestone 4.2.2 slim and stable.
This is indirectly like a "what's the ebst ROM" thread, which is against the rules to post such threads.
If you wnat to know the "best" then flash several 4.2.2 ROMs and find out.
Reported this thread. This is the post im referring to <- Recommended you read it.

Thank you very much, but I was asking which ROM each of the guys who respond can recommend and if SuperNexus is one you would recommend. I read the thread you linked and it doesn't apply here. I have tried many, many ROMs, but haven't found the one that suits best for me (fyi, there are too much ROMs to try out, I don't have that much time ).
If you came here to help, please do so, but if you came here to play police, please leave.
I recommend stock GB with speedmod kernel.Its the best combo and Ive tried rootbox and supernexus.
Ive found with each custom rom that there always seem to be a problem or two,also built in things I cant change.
But Im too pernickity.......

Pal, I just wanted recommendations for one or more ROMs which are best for me, not the best ROM. The trying-out-part still has to be done by me, ok? Please stop this, really, you make this forum look like a bureaucratic jungle.
That's the point, you wanna hear 2765 opinions so you can say "oh yeah...that could be the one i'm looking for" when you can easily read the ROM threads of every single ROM suggested here.
Either way, you need to try em all.

People are giving you advice for your benefit.If you carry on with your attitude youll end up getting banned etc.
Does your advice apply to the mods here.....stay away if your not helping.
No-one knows which rom suits you the best,you have to try them yourself to find out.

Look, I am thankful for your advice and I will try it out, and I sure know that you can only recommend me ROMs, but not tell me which exactly is the one I need, but that's not what I asked.
While I understand what you're asking the issue is that every user has different needs when it comes to their phone and what may work best for one person may not be the same for another. It's best to read some of the threads in the dev section and make an educated descision based on your particular needs.
