recommendations for stable, lightweight KK rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a stable KitKat rom on s2. have tried slim (stable) and carbon (nightly) but both seem to lag, FC and/or RR. Can you recommend me some or is it better to switch back to JB? Is the battery drain on KK always higher than on a stable JB?

battery backup is better in kk
did you try CyanogenMod?

not yet, my thoughts are: the bigger the rom, the more probable it is, that it consumes more battery. Slimrom seemed to be the smallest rom I found so far for s2. But I know I should try KK since it replaced Dalvik with ART. Nonetheless I might give CyanogenMod a try. Should I go with the M-builds, since there is no stable release since 4.2.2?

Best or recomended ROM its not allowed on XDA.

Please dont ask for "best ROM" as stated above its not allowed on xda.
Just try a few and decide for yourself.

[Q] Random Crashes with CyanogenMod 10.1.3 Stable

Hey All,
I've been having random crashes with CyanogenMod 10.1.3 stable release for a long while now. I'm going to do a factory reset soon, hoping this will solve the problems. Any other tips on what else should I do while I'm at it?
Thanks

Try SlimBean from fusionjack his latest buid of 4.3.1 is pretty stable if you want or try a kernel that is stable. I would suggest dorimanx but im not sure if sods still exist in latest test builds. (i think they are done for tho)

Seems like the there is Version 4.4 of Slim Rom out there. If anyone else can vouch for its stability, I will install it. Otherwise, I'll probably stick to CyanogenMod

I would suggest to install fusionjacks slimkat as it has more fixes but there is a music player bug BEWARE!
If you want stability and more buttery smoothness try neatrom. i was into aosp too but without sources from sammy i believe its pointless.

[Q] STABLE ROM for GT-I9300

Hey guys,
I am searching for a ROM that is tested and really stable to run on my GT-i9300.
I've tried to install CM 12.1 for the S3 but it failed..
any recommendations? I've heard about ArchiDroid 3.0.2 ..is it .good?
thanks!
@PePeMoke: why do you hear, if you can read? All LP-ROMs here have bugs. Decide whether it matters for you.

Thanks for your reply.
Maybe I explained myself wrong.
I want to flash a ROM that works quite stable because the cm12.1 did not even install..
Some minor bugs don't matter to me.
Which one can you recommend?
@PePeMoke: Euphoria. Slim & stable.
Ya,Archidroid v3.0.2 is fast,stable,smooth for me TOP rom from CM11 ROMs,next Resurrection Remix 5.4.3 also fast,smooth,stable have more more configurations like navbar,status bar settings etc. with nova launcher is best LP ROM !

what 5.1 rom do you suggest (besides CM)

Hi there,
I used CM a long time on my s2, but I just cannot get CM 12.1 to boot on my device. I would like to try out 5.1 though, so do you have any suggestions for a nice stable rom that can be compared with CM?

Try Dirty-unicorns by arnab. It has a lot of features and is a favorite among some others. Unofficial CM is still more stable than official IMO, but official has some important fixes that makes it even better to use.

Best ROM threads or questions are not allowed on XDA.
However if you want recommendations, try SlimLP or Dirty Unicorns for speed (or smoothness). Cyanogenmod 12.1 should be good in terms of stability since it has constant updates. Battery life of lollipop roms are all pretty much the same, kitkat roms are more battery friendly IMO.
If you want good battery life that is enough to match STOCK JB, try slimsaber 4.4.4 by Fusionjack with DorimanX kernel. If you don't like it, then try Cyanogenmod 11 by Markox89.

Not sure about a rom, but there is an app called Knockr on playstore (which started life on XDA) which will do what you want.......
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tecnology.angs.knockr
I have used it in the past, and it *does* work.......
.....but.....
I think it holds a wake lock (prevents deep sleep) so it may have an effect on your battery......

Most stable, yet latest ROM?

So I've read that cm11 is the best ROM for the i9100 in terms of stability. But what about Lolipop, Marshmallow or even Nougat? How are they performing on this phone? Are they worth considering as a daily driver?

KitKat is the best android version for our device, it may be outdated but it gives performance and battery life comparable to stock JB ROM. Marshmallow is my second pick as it is stable for daily use but is a little heavy on resources. Nougat still has its bugs so you might be better off using something else if you want a "daily driver" ROM.

Hey, thanks a lot! In another thread you were recommending slimsaber KK, would this be the latest build?

That would be the latest official build from fusionjack and the build I last used. There are newer builds made by Greekdragon which has some extra security patches somewhere in that thread (can be found using search).
