If you were unaware, 'best' rom threads are not allowed on XDA. If you want to know which android versions work well on the s2, stock 4.1.2 jellybean and 4.4.4 KitKat are popular choices. Lollipop has random freeze bug on our phone, which may be a deal breaker for some. Look at my sig for the rom I'm using If you use social media apps a lot, you may find yourself using cyanogenmod.

[Q] Rooted phone. Any custom roms for this phone to flash?

So i successfully rooted my phone using odin and cwm recovery. i am on stock rom 4.1.2.
Can anyone please refer to a rom anyone used on this phone and it worked without many bugs.
i searched for cm11 but it still has many bugs on this phone so i ignored it. Please refer to me roms that have a newer version on android only. I dont want customised stock roms. just omniroms or maybe cm10.2. Thanks everyone!:laugh:

Well I found one. Its called the bionic monkey. Its based on cyanogenmod i guess. Built especially for our device. :laugh: with the Kitkat 4.4

Interesting. Nice find, I didn't know this one. I will test to see if it's really KitKat :good:
Edit: it is a beautiful ROM, but it isn't KitKat. It's the same Android JB we all have in our devices. I'm considering to keep it installed.
It is for i8552B

well its nice, much lighter than the original stock rom. Plus its better and much sleeker than the touchwiz. Although its not a major upgrade like cyanogenmod. But yeah, worth more than the stock rom. One of the cleanest rom for grand quattro :good:

Yes, I tested. Let me write a little review.
I would say Bionic Monkey (the name of the rom) is a stock-based rom, with some interesting mods. By default the rom changes the DPI, so more things fit on screen. Some apps are KitKat-themed, like contacts or dialer. The stock launcher was replaced by Google Experience Launcher. It's also pre-rooted and has support to multiwindow. I didn't test multiwindow, but I think it's nice on that rom because of DPI.
The major disadvantage is that the rom is not KitKat, despite the system info. You can test it by installing any app only for KitKat - it will refuse to install.
So, in general, it's a good rom for daily use, so you might give it a try.

There's no KK for us, at least for now. All the roms that claim to be any Android higher than 4.1.2 are actually themed roms with mods on build.prop, but in fact they are Android 4.1.2.
The exception is CM (the one in link provided by you), that is KK in fact. But is still unstable and not suited for daily use.

As I said in another thread, I am really hoping so, but it all comes down to whether our devs have the time, energy, and willingness to do it. There are no more official releases for us, only unofficial ones done by awesome individual devs from the goodness of their heart. So let's continue to hope, and continue to support them throughout their efforts
Can't download Gapps
I'm interested in trying your ROM, however when I try to click to download the "Minimal Gapps". I'm simply sent to a login page. Can't locate the gapps anywhere.

just try searching for other universal GApps or download them from the slimroms webpage
Alright. I'll give the Paranoid Android Nano 4.4.4 gapps a try.
Did some searching for "universal gapps", and didn't find much in the way of ones that specifically said "universal", but the Paranoid Android ones say this should work on all custom roms. If anyone has any different suggestion, please let me know, otherwise I'll just give these a try. Thanks.

Will you wait???????? the ROM is not booting meaning it does not start up meaning you can't even use it. Wait like the rest of us until the OP fixes that issue then uploads it so everyone can try it.
We are all anxious to try lollipop just as much you are but this a fairly new android version and even some up-to-date flagship devices still don't have even a beta version so just chill out and relax.
ya sure dude lets wait & c
yes bro all are eagerly waiting for lollipop....

What new feature of slim launcher bros ?
camera
bro after i flashed my phone to slimkat rom my camera clarity seems to be dull but its good in stock rom can anyone help me plz
Hello
i have a lot of problems in this rom .
google play and explorer don't open
and i can't make a password for the phone
and there a lot of that
is there any Resolve for this problem ??
Did you do a clean install (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache)? Did you restore any system data or apps with adb or titanuim etc.? Lastly, are you sure your copy of the ROM is good and wasn't currupted in any way while downloading? Things like that can cause the problems you're having.

No worries. The question is in the title so easily missed. I Should have explained a bit better
I thought somebody would jump at it tbh! ! No worries anyways had problems writing the installation/permissions script with dsxds kitchen so I'm having a go with Ricky's Rom Kitchen instead. Offer still stands though to anyone with a S3i9300 and a bit of experience with custom recoveries. I.e. flashing zips. PM me if you like or simply reply on this thread. Thanks

Hey, I'd test your rom But in my opinion people wouldn't stick to 4.4... that's a pretty old version.

It's only 4.4.4 base as that's the newest anyone can port from as far as stock TW is concerned. I used a official stock rom for the s3 gti9305 lte as that's had the KitKat update and obviously our i9300 didn't as the phones both have the same chipset etc the rom can be ported. But the rom itself is almost identical to 6.0.1 Marshmallow like note 5 and S6 on Marshmallow. I had quite a few bugs and script errors so I've changed kitchens and I have all day and night today free to do this. Hopefully finish it tonight and I will get back to you. Thanks for your reply/interest.

I've been threw them all cm12 - cm12.1 - cm13. Resurrection remix, temaseks, archidroid etc. There are some really good customed roms but I need touchwiz for the MHL - HDML cause the cm builds don't have the right Samsung USB port drivers. So I went searching for the best touchwiz mod and there are some good ones. I'll send you the download URL once I've done it. Just want to make sure its right.
Edit: might be tomorrow now. I'm shattered. Doing for another 2 hours then stopping until tomorrow afternoon

Just look at the development thread man. Don't just ask for the stable rom link. By the way one of the stable custom rom is the that we have for grand 2 is cm12.1..
S3 neo port rom for grand is 100% stable rom

That's because you did'nt look throughtly bro..Well for your info this is the only website to get custom ROM and not anywhere else. Just so you know there must be a small bug in every ROM even for stable & stock ROM. So next time don't expect for a stable ROM with no bugs and ask for it. Just look at the development thread man & that's my advice.
You dont even like stock firmware (assuming of that since you want to install custom rom), so why expecting perfection from custom roms?

Because stock firmware have perfection i.e no bugs..... n if there r issues in any custom ROM like front cam not working, SIM 2 not detecting etc (as I checked in the threads) den why should anyone install these ROMs...
I hope u got my point bro....
Please try S5-S6 style H6 Eition[4.4.4]. Its the best with little or no bug. Its whats i am currently using now. everything works perfectly

[ADVICE] Installing Rom

Hello everyone,
I've been using the Pocophone F1 for quite some time now and really like it but I'd like to install another rom because I don't want all the bloatware.
I did already watch some tutorials which explains how to unlock the bootloader but where do I download the right TWRP version? (I think I have the international version of the Pocophone)
Also, Pixelrom seems very good or would you guys recommend another rom?
Thanks in advance!

Each ROM has its own uniqueness. What may be the best ROM for me may not be the best ROM for you. Once you try a new ROM for a few days, try changing ROMs. You will settle for one that you like best. Some ROMS will have Battery life, some have performance, some are pleasing to the eyes, some have additional features that you may like, some may have features that you don't use at all. So asking which is the best ROM is not correct.
Try different ROMs, the Opening Post will tell you its USP, decide and go ahead.
