So i had s5 sensation installed on my s3 for a while and quite enjoyed it. It did everything i wanted but after abit i looked for something upto date as its abit dated anyway tried a few different roms and ended up with resurrection remix m v5.6.6. Anyway i like the look of it seems quite easy to use the only issues im having is the battery seems to last half the time as it did also its missing a few options that the s5 sensation had.
So im wondering is there a update to s5 sensation as that would be ace. Or will i have to get used to the new roms

I also used that Rom back in the day. Now I use Eclipse Rom, has very good features. Another option could be Hyper Alvi Rom.
I have tried Resurrection Remix however I'm a fan of TouchWiz

Yeah but worth it. I've tried several 4.4.4 TouchWiz Rom's but always come back to this one.
The fixes that I flashed were:

So i bought one on Thursday and it arrived today. I just noticed that a leaked version of ICS was released just now, do you guys think I should use that? or cm9? or another ROM? Really not liking the touchwiz
I'm upgrading from a captivate which had cm7

Currently, this is the bestestest ICS ROM out right now for the "one".
http://tinyurl.com/2g9mqh
If you just got it today I would suggest you start reading guides and FAQs. When you think you have it, read it all again. Its similar to the Captivate, but different enough you can do some damage if you aren't paying attention.
That said, the leak just dropped is not ready immediately for use. There is no "best" ROM, try many of them. There are several ICS ROMs, both AOSP and TW based. They are in the dev sections.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
Thanks guys, anything in special i should watch out for? that maybe the captivate didnt have?
Right now the ICS leak contains bootloaders and a stock Samsung kernel - stock Samsung ICS kernels SUCK, even the I9100 release ones.
ICS will be more polished in a few days. Since we have had kernel source for only a week - things aren't quite polished yet.

Just curious, why do stock Samsung ICS kernels suck? And how do you know that already? I was under the impression that we never had stock ICS i777 kernels until we got the leak today, so have you already looked at/tested them and compared them to your own? Just want to know the thought process
EDIT: You edited your post. I didn't know we had the stock kernel already. Still, what about it makes it so bad?
Some think else look into from that have Kay setting installed it is AMAZING what he did with the sgs2 that said have fun and do sum looking in i9100 section most of there roms are cross flashable with hell raiser...

It's brand new and shiney. Might be best to give it a workout for a week or so to make sure everything is functional and stays functional. Not like it happens alot but there are lemons out there. No sensce causing yourself the xtra grief of wondering if you killed the phone or it already had a fatal flaw.

fuel_alerted wakelock (fixed in source-built custom kernels - we fixed it 6 months ago for Gingerbread, we had to fix it again for ICS)
Instabilities if you use SetCPU (still not fixed, but fundamentally can't be fixed for a binary kernel)
Let me do my noob question here then.
My GS2 has 2 months old. On this time i've tested a few ROMs and Kernels.
I just dont know how to erase all the phone data. I just came out from a bootloop erasing the data and everything else but the folders are still there.
I did a little search but didnt find any info... also nothing on FAQs.
Sorry to use your post man
I'm a noob but i did my research. Keep on GB for a week or 2.
I do use ICScrew Rom. Work fine. Came with a good kernel and you can also flash the entropy one.
There are several others rom that work fine just choose one to get more experienced.

I have ran probably about 6 different ROMs and the last 2 that I have ran, I swear by - took me about 3 months to finally understand the terminology, but an odexed based rom is butter smooth and runs good if the author put some time and effort into it.
My suggestion is ShiShirRom found in the Dev section or if you prefer to help "beta" test his ICS rom which is based off of the leaked AT&T S2 Rom - then give that one a try. It runs really well and I have had no issues personally.
Hah! I just got mine yesterday, and I've been playing with it. I've never had a smart phone before this, but I do have a Asus Transformer so I have experience sticking on custom roms and ****ting all over it (of course, I'm really just going through the motions outlined by the pros in that xda forum..).
Hey guys,
In terms of speed and battery life, which one is a faster ROM? And for someone who has tried both, which did you prefer? I've nothing personal against Hyperdrive, but I'm just exploring options. I've gotten more comfortable with the flashing process and I'm looking for the best. And if it's not one of those two, what's the best out there for a Verizon GS4?
It's a tough call. I never tried hyper. It was the 1st rom to come out and I wanted to become more familiar with TW before flashing and by then cleanrom came out. I tried synergy. It is fast and has a couple awesome tweaks built in like all apps working with multiwindow without a separate app which is nice. I have found cleanrom to be the most stable and smooth. Your results may differ. Try them all and see what works best for you

Oh I see. I was actually looking into CleanROM earlier. I was thinking that the features were a bit short though, or is that just me? It seems like it's hiding a lot more than that!

Yeah, they are but it isn't meant to have all the latest and greatest mods. It is purposely built as a debloated stock rom with some tweaks for speed. If you want features galore, hyper is for you from what I hear.
Sent from my rooted S4 blessed with whatever the latest CleanRom version may be....
As every phone, every user, every setup, every signal, every way of installing is different the only way YOU can find out which has better battery life and speed for YOU is if YOU try it. Just make a nandroid backup and take each for a test drive for a few days.
There can be no definitive answer for these questions.
My dad has GSII (I9100, the "original" S2) and it feels kinda sluggish compared to my One S C2(pretty much HTC Sensation) and it also lacks app space(I have moved all of them to SD card but still cant install new apps). Since I'm going to reinstall it I might aswell install some other ROM. It needs to be almost fully stable with all the features working and it would be nice if it had touchwiz(my dad isnt a power user and doesnt like to adopt to new things). I don't know how much faster non-touchwiz ROMs are so you can suggest some of those too. Also I don't really know yet how to install custom ROMs on GSII except for the stock one but I'm sure I'll find info on how to do that. Oh, performance and battery life should be balanced although my dad has 4 batteries
Thank you for your help!
EDIT: after some searching I have realized that 95% of roms are without touchwiz... So just suggest any ROM that is stable and smooth

Hey!
To root your phone, head here: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys2-i9100-root-android412-jellybean-install-clockworkmod-445008
1. Neat ROM: is perhaps based on Touchwiz. Also, it has had a huge support. So, it should fit your Dad's expectations.
2. SlimSaber 4.4.4: I guess pretty much the best non-touchwiz ROM for the S2. And stable as well!
3. Go ahead and try out Lollipop ROMs as well, although they are still under work and can have some bugs: CM12.1, Resurrection Remix , BlissPOP, SlimLP and many more.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Big thanks for your help man! I think I'll try both of the ROMs you suggested, but not going to try lollipop because my classmate has GSII with it and its just too buggy. Gonna report back on how it went.

Try http://www.cyanogenmod.org/, that's how i started with custom ROM's, they have "idiot friendly" way of installing their ROM, you just install app form google store and follow setup proces, really easy. Very stable ROM also. I still use Cyanogenmod, bus some unnoficial lolipop version. I recomend it!
Slimsaber 4.4.4 by fusionjack. Would recommend it to anyone on XDA and to friends and family.

I've had a lot of good phones. Original Note and LG G2 among the best. I still use my Mate 2 as a daily driver. Totally love it. It will be a sad day when it stops working.
Off the top of my head (which may be really outdated), spec-wise and price-wise, I think the Mate 2 is better than any other of its competitors. Again, I haven't been paying much attention lately, so I might be out of the loop quite badly. But for a nearly 4,000 mAh battery and, thanks to some amazing people on this forum, quite a few custom ROMs, I have absolutely no complaints. I'm not replacing this anytime soon. My previous phone was used for either 3 or 4 years.
Just be glad you weren't here from October 2014 to June 2015.
Lol true. Got my own cm ROM made. And working on compiling omni ROM. Shm has several ROMs for it. And cm has L and MM as well. Way better device with stock ROM replaced.

I've actually been using the stock ROM for the past month or so, maybe longer. Actually not that bad, I like EMUI. However, I am missing some features of custom ROMs, like swiping notifications on the lockscreen getting rid of them instead of opening them, and being able to change the DPI without everything breaking.
Also, Xposed apparently doesn't work on B322? I haven't tried it myself, but that does suck if true. I used several modules back on B128.
Edit: Does anyone know if there's a way to get the Huawei camera app on CyanogenMod? I think I'm gonna switch back, but the stock camera is garbage, and Google Camera has a weird preview issue in portrait (image is squashed, but turns out fine after it's captured).

Just hope something doesn't so wrong. I have one rebooting from Bluetooth being turned on and they won't replace it.
am i supposed to update the phone or anything before unlocking?
You need to be on B322
And if it is CC or wind. Unlock the carrier lock before flashing CM etc

Indeed! Only thing to note with Candy Six is that live wallpapers seem to be broken at the moment, and Clock consistently crashes every time I try to open it. That may or may not have something to do with the Layers theme I installed though.

Hey guys, so i've been seeing ALOT of new 7.x roms coming out this week, and this is really confusing me, there are so many options right now im just completely unable to choose one.
Im currently running with Ashwin's 7.0 Rom but i am always looking for new options.
Any one who has any idea which ones are worth looking into? Most of them all seem good.

Tesla!
Tesla-N, Beanstock, Xenon, AOISP, Aosp.. Both CM14 ROMs need a lot of work still.
I have to agree with the two above.
GZR's Tesla-N!
Tesla has nougat rom? I only find Tesla mm rom.
Omicron Technics
Thanks for the info guys, anyone know if any of these can be dirty flashed over my existing ROM?

Always do a clean flash if you are using a different rom.

All of them can be dirty flashed required that you have the right bootloader.
Dirty flashed being that your flashing the same ROM that's currently installed without wiping. Sometimes good for updating but clean flash is always suggested.
I've tried Tesla N but I usually get System UI stopped. Now I'm using XenonHD and it's working fine, only torch tile in quick setting is not working, and camera takes 10 seconds to start after restart (2 second the next times).
I tried 3 different ones from local devs, the best one, fully workable and ready to use is XenonHD. Thanks to it's dev!
XenonHD for me its more stable then cm14
Just a quick update y'all; im currently running Dirty Unicorns (there was a new version yesterday, 20.11.2016) and it is working flawlessly so far. Thanks for the help though!

For me, XenonHD doesn't work well. It lags quite a lot. Like the frame drops are significant. Maybe it's at like 10 or 8 fps on XenonHD. But I have had no problems with TeslaN 3.1. Except for the fact that it is a bit laggy, like whole switching from one app to another, it takes quite a lot of time

Nougat is still in it's infant stages also seems like majority of people looking for battery over performance. Look into Kernal Auditor helps adjusting for your liking. Custom kernels like Heliox, Arsenic and Black reactor might give you even more options for tuning. I found all of the Nougat ROMs to be quite good considering we don't have official support.
