Stable custom rom i9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any stable/fast/battery friendly custom rom for this device avaialable?
I'm just tired to reflash every single rom i find just to find out 1-2 days later is buggy as crap,sucks your battery dry or it has random freezes.

Slimsaber 4.4.4 by fusionjack is what you want. If you require to use apps like Whatsapp or Skype, you should try Slimkat instead.

problem is i already am on slimkat 4.4.4 (latest official stable build) . it's not good. it sucks the battery dry , phone gets very hot and I get random lock-ups.
slimsaber has problems with whatsapp and skype?

SlimSaber has got problems with Skype. I guess you should try out Neat ROM or Nameless ROM, for they have had the greatest support. If you want battery life, then try out SlimSaber for it has optimizations.

Omni 5.1.1 is the stablest and fastest rom ever. But terrible battery life EVER (sometimes 1h sot, sometimes 3and half. Only your phone knows )

Got my S2 just two months ago, as a spare phone.
So i tried almost all major roms avaiable. Slimbeam, Slimkat, NeatROM etc during these two months
there are some major issues with battery drain or minor random freezes, no GPS, extremely laggy Youtube playback.... I cant even remember all roms that i tested, but I'm sure that all of them were in the first two pages of Galaxy S2 Original Android Development or Android Development.
Just go with Cyanogen 10.1.3., works best for me, no freezes, battery life is good (yet slightly worse than stock rom, as you would expect). Youtube playback is fine, maybe a little bit laggy at the beginning of playback but I'm used to iPhone 100% smoothness so maybe its normal. Its just 4.2.2. tho. CM 10.1.3. works for everyday use, almost like a stock Samsung ROM.
No 4.4.4. that I tested was not 100% stable, all of them had some issues that I could not stand, like battery drain, loosing audio playback, GPS problems and more. Dont get me started on 5.1.1. builds...

Here's a stable Cm Rom, haven't tried, but if we can trust the "stable" status...

[Q] Which ROM do you advice for i9001

Hello
Which ROM would you advise me to install? I can't really get my head around them... they all seem to be the same thing with just different interface ;|
Anyways, I'd like something thats "working" (camera, gps, apps, and so on). No need for any overlocking and so on.
Other then texting and calling, I mainly browse interwebs and play some games.
PS: I tried to find something on the forums, but I managed to find only one advice topic, and it was trolled by people cracking jokes about "lounge room" and "bath room"...
I'm using Cyanogenmod 7.2 and for me it works fine.

If you want a stable 2.3 Gingerbread ROM based on the stock firmwares, I would suggest:
- Gigabread (worked perfectly fine),
- BlazR (not everything worked for me - had some Android market issues)
- broorROM (i've tried both versions - both are nice)
or if you want a 4.0 ICS ROM,:
- both ariesve and ivendor's versions are in late beta, and they work pretty fine (everything works, good battery life, overall stable)
- MIUI v4 RC5 - if you want the MI interface, this one's a pretty stable one (currently using it myself for more weeks)
- EHDROIDX
- ParanoidAndroid
2.3 i haven't tried any so no idea.
4.0.4 ICS there are a couple but what i can truly suggest is CM9 by Arco68 or Ivendor. Both ROMs are smooth stable and work great.
4.1.2 I can only suggest Ivendor's Beta 2 for now. Even if it still has an annoying keyboard bug when flipping from portrait to landscape it's the most stable and fast rom out there. SlimBean eats up battery life too fast, EHNDROIX II looks and moves great but sometimes remains awake and eats battery and some software runs like **** on it. iGO Primo for example stutters like crazy with that ROM.
broodROM Jellybean Release 3 is smooth and stable and had a good battery life.

[Q] Most stable rom right now?

Hi,
I got p7510 and have been using TASK 14 ROM because it simply has been best choice for me. I tried ICS and JB roms about 6 months ago(guess?) and didn't like them due FC and lagginess. I'm looking for a stable and fast rom. What do you suggest and what rom are you using right now?
CM10.1 - Nightly. No complaints whatsoever.
Pretty much anything up to date is stable. I've never had any unexpected force closes or issues.
CM10.1 nightly stable here as well, with Tablet UI added.
Perfect for me.
I found the CM10.1 nightlies (4.2.x) a bit laggy. I switched to the unofficial CM10 (Android 4.1.x) builds from Pershoot: Very very smooth rom for the P7510.
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3015owthread.php?t=1787399
I've just finished trying out CM and another JB release and I'm going back to Task 14. I was happy at first and overall they were 95% clean and nice. That 5% got me though. Battery life while OCing is nasty. Went to load the calendar while on the phone doing business (usually I use my phone or notebook) and crash - gapps has issues in JB. Some other minor stuff (using an old hacked Hulu app, etc) but I was happier before. YMMV

G2, how good are the CM ROMs here?

I sold my Note II yesterday and i was looking for a good stock Google smartphone. I owned a G2 for a week and I remember it had a brilliant battery life, but i don't like the LG OS. I heard about a good development scene about stock-based ROMs like Cyanogen. Is that true?
On Note II, because of the Exynos CPU and some lack of development support from Samsung, Cyano ROMs were just a mixed bag of experience. There are some minor issues everywhere and the 2-days battery life of the samsung ROM is impossible to get on CM.
So, i'm looking for a G2 for a quick CM 11 flash. Do you think it's a good idea?
I'm also considering a OnePlus One, but the invitation thing is a bit annoying and i don't think it will be easy to get one.

If you're entirely bothered about AOSP, I'd go for the Nexus 5 or HTC One GPE. If you had asked me yesterday I'd have said AOSP roms are still a bit buggy with issues but I put on OmniRom last night - it really seems the best of the bunch at the moment! Not had any issues at all (But I've only been using it properly for 12 hours or so).

Yeah, but what about battery life?
I'm ok with the 2-days of moderate usage of the Note, and i heard that Nexus 5 and the One M7 aren't very good on battery life.
I used to be on CM 10.2 stable and everything worked fine. Then I wanted to try Kit Kat, but CM 11 was pretty unstable for me (I think I tried the M4 build).
I decided to give stock another try since LG released their KK firmware. I used to own a Nexus 4 and still prefer AOSP, but you can get LG stock close to AOSP.
I use Nova Launcher and with G2 Tweakbox (Xposed) you can switch the ugly LG quicksettings with the AOSP one. CloudyStock 2.0 ROM allows you to remove LG 's bloatware during installation.
There is a GPE ROM for the lg g2.

+1 here, im also using stock kk+nova and deleted bloated apps using TB Pro + using some kernels available(using simple kernel default settings, smooth and battery friendly or if dori's kernel is updated to stable) works perfectly and smooth for me. It gives me 3days of usage when I turn my phone useless and 1 day if I play games for hours which is normal.
CM11 nightlies have been perfectly stable for me over the past 2-3 weeks

I did try cm 11 m5 build, everything working like it should, smooth, less stuttering than on stock. but just can't stand camera. It's miles away from stock

With KK sources released, we should have stable builds.
Although honestly I am loving stock 4.4.2 + root + xposed. I've never used a stock rom longer then a week before. Been running stock since November. Simply amazing.

Stock KK is tempting me but when i tried i figured that i don't like so much the LG interface

Agreed. Well, Stock + Root + Xposed + Nova Prime + Simple Kernel (underclocked to 1.728ghz) and a lot of bloat frozen/deleted is about as perfect as I have had the phone running. Battery life is excellent for me (40-45 hours with 5% battery left. 60% permanent screen brightness. 5-7 hours screen on time).

do check out the g2 dev forums for the available roms. personally i'm using mahdi rom and ehndroix before that. They are both SUPERB imo.
if battery life's what you're concerned about, for myself the roms average drains around from 100 percent to 70 percent in average of 12hours? (as i'm a light user).
in comparison to nexus 5 and htc, i'm almost definite that the battery capacity on g2 outclasses them both. so battery wise, g2 is good choice. Since my purchase of the phone in november, the dev for roms has been increasing steadily.
G2's definitely worth a consideration
Omni ROM is great for me obviously it's not CM but its got loads of options and is stable as can be really. Just had to change the low memory killer to medium with kernel tweaker but otherwise running as provided.

How much did you used it? Because on every aosp i have installed i got allways reboot problems... Now I'm on stock modded lighting rom is fast like aosp and i have call record also on bluetooth, something that on aosp is missed. But i have to say that those kk stock rom from lg are bugged because you can't disable obexmaptransaction (the bluetooth sms sharing thing) and it drian more battery than JB when paired in car. I use the phone for work so if i have to say wich is the best atm for me is stock JB but KK is lot more snappier, so i'm using this, because i have read somewhere that LG is going to push an OTA to fix those small issue.
Another problem on stock is that when you have to save a contact by default the phone use internal memory and not the Google account, so every time i have to select my account. I hate this because you cant edit wich accounts have to be the default one.
Sorry for my english, i hope to have given an idea based on my personal experience with the roms out there for the D802.
The aosp I have tried past 3 days are: Slimkat, Paranoid and Mahdi both unstable for my use for the frequent reboots...

Yeah, on the Note2 side of the forum there's a bunch of users that say "this nightly is perfect, this custom ROM is amazing" but in fact none of them are perfectly fine for random reasons (camera issues, BT issues, battery issues and so on). I hope that on the LG G2 side there's a different situation, thank to the Qualcomm CPU that i think is better for development.
AOSP ROMs are really good for me on my D802. Now on latest Mahdi Rom with merged 4.4 sources I have 4h screen-on-time with 59% battery left, I unplugged the phone 21h ago. I have 'only 2G' setting and I used a lot of WiFi (Dolphin, FB Messenger, Youtube...)
Generally the ROMs will get really stable on days/weeks, because of LG 4.4 sources.

What? You browse the web on 2G network?
No matter how hard I tried, I couldnt get same battery life (with same usage) with any aosp roms. Stock had always btter battery for me.

Just activate ART The thing is to flash proper Gapps and generally to flash the ROM properly, for me ART is always stable and it gives profits in battery life and smoothness.

Best rom & kernel

I need the best combo of rom and kernel ! recently got back into the android game after having an s3 and then switching to a 6s plus now I'm back, with the oneplus two
I need help on choosing the rom and kernel, would prefer for the rom to be stable and the kernel to give me great battery life
right now I'm on aospa 6.0.1 it's alright
I was so excited to get back into roms and android that I didn't even last 3 hours on oxygenOS
OOS3 is actually pretty decent. Especially if you get a ROM that is a modified version of OOS like Oxydium. Exodus is also another good choice for speed, battery, and reliability. So far though, in my experience, it's pretty hard to go wrong with any of the ROMs available for the OP2 though. CM based ROMs have seemed to not get quite as good battery as OOS based or Exodus for me, but they have more features of course. Good luck on your search!
Official cm13 with boeffla kernel is my default setup. But using aospa and resurrection remix (benschold kernel) once in a while )
Waiting to see more features in aospa

I think the best rom at the moment is Oxydium
Good battery, Android N-designed, great performance and no heating

The bad part of oxydium, is not upgraded to the ota release. Happy user of cm13 unofficial, as daily.

The battery life is good, better than cm13, 4-5h sot
Now i'm using PA and it's more smooth than oxydium but camera is not as good as oxydium.
So far mm ROMs are still buggy and things are getting a lot better but the best ROM at least for me was VisionX but its a lollipop ROM
For me RR is still best in battery life

Latest
6h / 7h is achievable
Mostly i have 2 days of standby with 4,5 / 5h sot
Last couple of days I'm thinking about switching from OOS3 based back to CM13 or AOSP or PA. So I'm going through threads and I'm kinda shocked to see how most of them are now plagued by bugs which seem to have nothing to do with our devs, but it seems like they are getting that from sources, CyanogenMod mostly. Also, I don't remember any problems from couple of weeks (months?) ago! Like no notifications (dead silent phone), alert slider not working, echo in conversations, problems with camera, heavy on battery... before I had excellent battery life, notification and slider worked better than in OOS3, ROM was better with each version... any thoughts on that?
hi,
AOKP + Boeffla Kernel at the BEST! :good:
All ROMs and every kernel is best:good:

Can easily confirm, Resurrection Remix has given me much better battery life than OOS3 with my usage. Constant 5h SOT on LTE, 6+ on WiFi
CM13 Unofficial by Seraph08 + Boeffla Kernel works pretty well for me. I get a Standby time of almost 30 hours and SOT of over 4 hours. I used to barely manage 3 hours SOT earlier with OOS3.

I have been wondering the exact same thing.. I flashed PA June and it's been o.k. but has some issue with speaker / mic that weren't present in other MM rom's I've tried..
I went to Exodus. Feels great, works great, but with Trebuchet launcher as AOSP is very limited. I could recommend it easily

which stable and good performance rom i should flash,

hi i am new to redmi note 3, before this i have samsung note 3 neo, samsung s3, sony xperia p, on all this devices i flash many rom, now on this device i have use miui 7 and miui 8 beta, but on both i am getting battery drain, unstabele network, call drop probelm, so i am thinking to move on any custom rom, so please help me to choose one of them, i just need good battery life, performance like stock and no bug's. so anyone using any rom like this please tell me. now i am on miui 7.5.3 globle stabel and bootloader is still locked.
You cant flash custom rom without unlocking Bootloder.....Mokee is best for me
CM13 by Santhosh M.
Pair it with Xposed and DS batt saver.
It's better than stock.
I've tried a few ROMs already and none of them are any good in my opinion. A lot of them are still in beta/testing stages so that's to be expected.
Santosh's CM13 was alright, I've had a few phone reboots and battery issues with it. SlimAOSP has wifi signal issues for me and yes I've tried the CM13 radios already. There are a few other ones I've tried but I'll jump straight to the point.
MIUI is the most stable and it makes sense because it's the official ROM for this phone. I'd just flash it using MiFlashBeta and flash the latest fastboot version - which you can find from the official website (Google it). As for an actual custom ROM, I'm currently on the leaked qualcomm 5.1 AOSP. There's a thread here that as the pre-rooted and Xposed version packaged in, so you can just use that.
So far, no reboots on this ROM. Battery life is great, I have about 5 hrs 40 mins screen on time with about 47% battery left. I'm using Greenify and PowerNap only, no kernel tweaks etc. Fingerprint works on this as well, but to be fair fingerprint was never an issue for me on all the custom ROMs I've tried. This ROM is quite stable and I would imagine so, as this was a leaked ROM from qualcomm, so it's probably optimized in some way. Also, it's AOSP, which is generally better in terms of battery compared to CM ROMs.
The ONLY issue on this ROM is bluetooth. I can pair with bluetooth devices and get audio fine. But I can't get my car to pull the bluetooth phone profile, which is responsible for syncing contacts from my phone. All other ROMs I've tried do not have this issue. What this basically means is I can't use my car to fetch contacts from my phone, therefore I can't send/receive SMS or calls from my car's infotainment system. Quite an annoyance for me, but considering how stable this ROM is as opposed to the other ones I've tried, it's a sacrifice I'll have to make.
I'd say just stick to the most stable ROM that suits you, wait a few more months until other ROMs become more stable, then try them out.

You should try Mokee (Not Promoting Mokee) but it is most stable and everything works well:good:
I suggest you to try this.

really good in my opinion.
I had only one isssue with all official miui that cpu never sleep after 10-12 hrs of reboot.
I tried many things on it to work.
But then I found this and its really good.
