Hi guys, i'm using KI8 stock with siyah 1.8 right now, and it looks like one of the best configuration for galaxy S2.
Anyway, i'm very interested about trying the famous cyanogenmod 7.1 stable, and i just want to have some judgement about it...it's faster and more battery safe than a stock? it's the best?
[NIGHTLY][ROM][GWK74] CyanogenMod 7 (w/ Gingerbread 2.3.7) for Galaxy SII Q&A contains 6,602 posts relating to CyanogenMod, or since you mention 7.1 "stable" (it was later changed to RC1), [ROM] CyanogenMod 7 for the Samsung Galaxy S II :: V7.1.0 RC1 (9 Oct 2011).
There is no stable release. There is a lot of issues and you should really wait and go with MIUI or one of the modded samsung roms for now

Wrong. There is a stable release, and you can download it from the link posted above. Also, it's not full of bugs, but if you're going to try it, I suggest you go for the latest nightly; it should have more fixes than the stable build. However, it's an experimental build, so be prepared for weird things. I'm using it since a long time, and it's really stable on my phone.
Also, learn to f***ing post in the right thread

Which is based on CM7 and therefore would contain most if not all of the same "issues".
in the cyanogenmod official page the rom it's called "stable"...and anyway i think MIUI has more issues than CGM...
Hello everyone! I have recently install the CM12 ROM for my galaxy light and everything seems to be working. The only major issue is that the calling doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this or where i go into the files of the ROM to fix it? Thanks for your time.
Because CM12 is still in "nightly" stages that also means it is not stable and there is no direct support. There will be bugs and the only thing you can do is either flash the latest nightlies and hope it works or flash a completely different rom. Fixing calling is not something you can do on your phone.
Thank you

After install of last version Cyanogenmod 11 nightly on 9100 battery drain too fast and I tried any mode to not consume battery except installing new kernel. What kernel should I install?Or how can I fix this?

There may have been some changes to last few cyanogenmod nightlies that may have affected your battery life. So to fix it, you will have to flash an older nightly (like probably a few weeks earlier) or a different rom altogether. I highly recommend slimsaber 4.4.4 by fusionjack.
What version of cm do you recommend me? I don't like slimsaber..
I have problem uploading a video on instagram, it always stuck on approx.(40%) and it never completes. then it ask me to try upload again.
I have this problem for a while ago, I have flashed different roms with clean installation,
My phone is i9300 and I'm currently using this rom [5.0.2] Temasek's UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12 latest version.
Any ideas?

I have this same issue too, and I think every S3 user has it with any OS above 4.3
Before everyone tells me that this has been covered in previous threads, i read them all and there is nothing worth writing home about within these 'other threads'.
There is not a decent place online where an S2 user can go to find out the BEST choice for his phone. (most people just say: "kk1 worked for me" etc... (which doesnt really tell us much!)
Surely there are tonnes of people with Galaxy S2 i9100 phones with Custom Roms, kernals and Gapps!
from my experience: the S2 phone not good enough to run Lolipop at a fast speed... (its SLOW as hell, and Bad Battery Life).
Kit Kat is also a bit laggy on the S2... (or has someone found a good MOD and kernal of it ?
really, it seems that the S2 performs BEST with Ice-Cream-Sandwich or Jelly-Bean.
or has anyone found a REALLY good KitKat Rom for the S2 which has a Good Battery Life and FAST SPEED ??
also,, please mention what kernal and Gapps package you have and what Launcher you are using
Use Slimsaber 4.4.4 by fusionjack (modified by thunder45) and dorimanx kernel.

i was really hoping for some elaboration about your battery life and SPEED that you now have (comared to the original ICS or JellyBean)
please, if possible can you guys really say a bit more (if you have time)

In terms of battery life, Slimsaber 4.4.4 is the only rom that could compete with stock 4.1.2 battery life (stock 4.1.2 is still superior to all other ROMs). All 4.4.4 ROMs use more battery than stock 4.1.2, but the upside is that you get less bloatware and more performance. Cyanogenmod may be the most well known for its popularity in the android world, but it is also known for battery problems and other problems too. In terms of performance, Slimsaber 4.4.4 is a lightweight ROM that has more useful features compared to Cyangenmod. Of course user preference differs between everyone, but I've found that slimsaber has all of the neat features I've needed in one package. Where you get most benefits from is by pairing up the ROM with a custom kernel such as DorimanX kernel. The built-in kernel will do the job for most people, but what most people miss out on is all of the performance and battery optimizations and tweaks you get from installing a custom kernel. Yes, there are more things to tweaks when using a custom kernel, but after you get used to it and have played around with it a bit, the effort and time spent is really well worth it and I assure you your phone will feel better than you first got it.
Of course, this is all of my personal thoughts, and I'm a long term user of slimsaber 4.4.4 and dorimanx kernel. Just incase you didn't know, I don't hate cyanogenmod, they are pretty much the pioneers of the custom rom industry, but lately they haven't been up to scratch.

thanks for your info about the slimsaber rom.
I wanted to ask you something about your comment:
is slimsaber the same as slimkat? its the same thing?
and,, also: if I flash the dorimanx kernel and then flash the slimsaber 444 rom, will the slimsaber rom add its own slimsaber kernel and delete the dorimanx kernal ?
- or, is it the other way around? am I supposed to flash the slimsaber rom, and then flash the dorimanx kernal to replace the slimsaber kernel ?
PS:
I will be downgrading from a Lollipop 5.1 Rom.
its too slow on my phone and i'm getting awful batterylife and quite buggy.
i was umming and ahhing whether to downgrade to an unbloated jellybean ROM, or a kitkat one.
maybe I will give your set-up a try (seeing you are giving it a good testimonial).
did you use a minimal Gapps package? or the full thing?

Slimsaber and slimkat are different roms. Slimsaber is a modified version of slimkat by fusionjack.
Yes, when you flash slimsaber, it will replace dorimanx kernel with slimsaber kernel. This means you will have to flash dorimanx kernel again.
It's up to you. I make my own personal dorimanx builds, but I don't optimize them for battery life, I care more about performance and smoothness.

i did a few searches on xda for slimsaber 4.4.4 and saw a number of instances where people are having WhatsApp camera issues and also Skype issues.
do you also get this problem?
or is that now fixed? (coz I use both of those apps quite often).
is this the correct page I should use to download the ROM :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59918959&postcount=17347
(but I see no mention of Thunder45's modification on that page).
if the above issues are still present, do you think i will be better off with the SlimKat version? or something else?
Thanks
Marc

You're better off with slimkat if you use those applications. Skype and whatsapp issues are still present in slimsaber.

thanks again GsStudios
would it be a good idea for me to use your suggested Dorimanx Kernal with SlimKat 4.4 ?
and finally: if you have ever used it, how would you rate the CM11 (standard version), with SlimKat ?
(i'm trying to narrow my choice down).
again, thanks
