CyanogenMod 13
Hello and thank you for using Q&A,
you can try CyanogenMod 13. If she do not need Snapchat, it is the best ROM for our Samsung Galaxy S3. It is quit fast and all is working, expect Snapchat. Instagram video upload is not working too.
If you want this features, you should try a Stock-Based ROM:
Galaxy S III Android Development
There are some great ROMs, which are based on the newest Stock-ROM (Androıd 4.3). If you install CyanogenMod 13, you will have the newest Android Version 6.0.1 and all the new security updates from 01 Februar 2016. For me, AOSP or CyanogenMod based ROMs are the best!
But, if all features should work, stock is the best. Battery life of CyanogenMod 13 is not the best.
Kind regards

So cm13 breaks only video recording or even camera?
As she use a lot photos and video, any idea for a tweaked and a light stock based?
PS I've a 1+2 and couldn't believe to see even here ??

I've used plenty of them. If you are looking for something stable I suggest go on either cm11 or slimkat. Carbon is pretty good too. The best battery performance was on slimkat for me.
If you want some freshness i suggest using cm12 (lollipop 5.1) by archi . Avoid 5.0.x ROMs cause they seem to have many bugs that fixed on 5.1.2

You mean the "Can't connect to Camera" bug?

I'd get CM11+Boeffla Kernel (NG)
It seems to be the most stable for me, I'm not using it though

Is it impossible to enable Doze on ROMs that don't have it enabled by default?

Depends on the developer, Trafalgar Square iirc developed a ROM with doze working in it

I enabled Doze in my AICP ROM and it's working good. I have this enabled on my Galaxy Note 2 too.

[Q] [Discussion] Android lollipop on S2 I9100 and I9100G

What is the possibility of porting sweet Lollipop to our little monster?? Edit : so the ans is somework has been done by quietly for I9100G you can learn about it in 2nd page!! and for I9100 there port has been started.
Probably the same as cm11. There is lack of drivers GPU for cm11 and same will be with cm12. So forget about flawly interface if would be drivers for mali from sgs2 it should be fine

So all smoothness of material design will have hiccups?
when will have it on our devices?
i've heard that the difficiulty of root lolipop....
Cm 12 will be when lollipop full code will be relased by google for now android lollipop is in final developer stage so in November should be official relaese but for s2 who knows

Seriously? we don't even have the source yet, but you want to know when you'll have the software on your device. Well, no one here is a prophet, so you're gonna have to wait and see how it pans out.
We're gonna have to wait for some good amount of time.
The Android L will be given to the flagship models first, and then us.
But I'm sure that teams like NeatRom will definitely have something in store for us a little sooner as S2 is still an active device for them.
Let's hope we get the lollipop sooner.
Knowing cyanogenmod, they will release builds (monthly snapshots) months after they release the first m snapshot for nexus devices.

I m talking abt ports not build from source .... Can it be done a bit earlier than frm source?? Everyone wants to lick ASAP, don't they??

I read cyanogenmod won't bother much about android 5, and wait for it to be completely finished by Google before making new rom. In the meantime they would continue with KitKat in order to make it more stable.
Nevertheless they wanna keep an eye on Android 5 and get some good features from it.

SGS II (GT - I91000 ) : No CM 11 M12 ?
Well as of now the chances look bleak, the nightlies seem to have stopped from 08th Nov and today we did not have a M12 build. Hoping against hope that this is not the end of road for GT-I9100. :angel:

Galaxy Nexus just got AOSP lollipop, so there's hope for i9100G which uses the same soc

omni rom is searching for an active maintainer for the devices which they are supporting now if some devs are interested from our side there's a good chance ... Fingers crossed

I have to ask something - are you all so happy with KitKat builds for the S2 that you want Lollipop? The last stable Cyanogenmod build is 10.1.3 (JB 4.2.2) from September 2013, which is what I am running now, and am finally happy with the way my S2 is working - have got almost 36 hours out of it with light to moderate use (and a new original battery). Before that I tried various more recent builds of CM, Paranoid Android and maybe some others, which all suffered from the same problems: drastically increased battery use (including with the new battery) and frequent crashes (random resets and crashes, particularly problems with the camera). Now I have rolled back to 4.2.2 it's all fixed - it's too much of a coincidence.
So what is to say Lollipop won't have the same problems on S2, or have others not had these issues running Android versions above 4.2.2 on the S2?

They wouldn't do that. They have to many new devices to sell, but not so good as LG g2-mini. There is few custom rom based on 5.1.1 but nfc and IR not working ;(
Finally switched to Cyanogenmod from Stock Rom, because I do not expect any more significant updates from LG.. With this switch I am now on Android Marshmallow, works like a charm on the G2 mini, even if the Cyanogenmod release is still in beta.

With 6.0 from LG you will get real, fully functional UX 4.0 so you'll can use LG device in 100% (IR remote controll, NFC and other producer functions.. etc), in CM it's imposibble and you don't know when they fix all bugs but of course CM is a good alternative and it's good that G2M has now official support but for me LG official firmware is the best Greetings
Ps I dont think so we will get 6.0 but maybe 5.1, it will be nice too. LG makes updater faster than other producers, G2M is now little bit old but still good phone.

Thats true, CM has some downsides like no NFC and IR support. But it has one important upside for me: Android Auto works far better. With LG stock rom, my mobile did not connect reliably with my car using Android Auto. After the switch to CM 13, Android Auto works perfectly.
I noticed too, has a much stronger GPS signal with CM13 , and i hate this stock rom large icons and not possible to hide status bar(a bunch of unnecessary google apps). My conclusion CM13 is better in every way, the only for camera I'm not sure.

Android 8.x ROMs possible on LG G2 (i.e. LineageOS 15.x)?

Okay, so more than half a year after the release of Nougat, we still do not have a stable 7.x ROM for the G2 available, yet Google has already released developer previews for 8.x.
So, what are the chances that we're going to see 8.x on the G2?
What? That is so wrong.
CrDroid.... My G2 was never so fast and used so less battery - and CrDroid (7.1.1) with Lambda Kernel is stable.
So I don't know what you're doing wrong, but this is not true.
Also running on nougat and have no troubles??? latest LineageOS veryy fast and stable and also battery time is very good.

Correct! LineageOS works great. Hope we will get O from Lineage Team
CrDroid with lambda works great, better than stock in every way. Especially since bigboy ported the stock lg camera. Android 0 is and will be buggy for a long time, its just the first dev preview build.
we have a lot of roms Nougat good and stable so i think will we have good Android O but we will take some times
AICP 12.1 (based on Android 7.1.1) with Lambda Kernel works perfect. Stable, fast and battery friendly.
aicp much cooler than crdroid with this rom i have no wish to buy a new phone after 3 years... it works better than most midrange 2017 phones unfortunately cameras got old..
+1 that, I have a Note 5 - and I miss the performance, battery life and hold-ability of my G2. Don't be fooled by new phones people, they're way less optimised with their dual-processor configurations (8-cores), and quite often the weaker cores are less powerful than this device.

Well, first off, we already have multiple Android 7.x ROMs that are stable, I don't know what you're talking about.
Will we see 8? That depends if someone is willing to make ROMs for this phone. And I'd say yes, we will have Android O, maybe not immediately but it will come.

lol this just so true... I don't really need to upgrade the phone with a bunch of Android N roms for LG G2 but the camera is quite sluggish already. Thats the only part that keeps reminding me its an old phone lol
CrDroid is okay if you like plain.
go to AICP and boom , you don't really need to use all the customization
I hope people will be developing roms for this unkillable phone.
Sorry for this little OT but it has some relation with the thread... At least with LineageOS the headphones volume its so much lower than with Stock (or stock optimized) roms, do you know if this is solved in any nougat rom ? Thanks in advice and sorry again for OT.

There are some ROMs better than paranoid in battery specially EUI but in mi opinion Paranoid is the best ROM in performance and reliability besides If you install last update (day 25) you do not get any important bug.

Thank you! Do you think any Oreo ROMs compare with paranoid? I am using AICP at the minute but I'm thinking of moving back to paranoid.
I'm trying new roms now from scartch and so far had no luck with Oreo. Lineage 14 is what I came from, but 15 with Android 8.1 is very sluggish. I then tried AOSIP, it's fast but I can't get the camera to work and file drivers crap out after a minute or two when connected to the PC. They just can't seem to get these right, maybe if they worked together there would be one good rom . I'm still on the hunt for a stable rom that does not run like crap myself.

Main reason is my phone getting hot. But we are having hot weather where I am at the minute so it may be that causing it.
Only other problem is the speaker isn't as good as on paranoid android (quieter, not as good quality)

I had the file issue too, since moving to Mokee fingers crossed it has been ok. Plus the loud speaker n mic seem to be ok on this rom. One issue on the current build the speaker output is a little lower than on some other roms when playing videos, other than that it has been good and there are nightly builds that you can install at leisure.
