Most stable, yet latest ROM? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've read that cm11 is the best ROM for the i9100 in terms of stability. But what about Lolipop, Marshmallow or even Nougat? How are they performing on this phone? Are they worth considering as a daily driver?

KitKat is the best android version for our device, it may be outdated but it gives performance and battery life comparable to stock JB ROM. Marshmallow is my second pick as it is stable for daily use but is a little heavy on resources. Nougat still has its bugs so you might be better off using something else if you want a "daily driver" ROM.

Hey, thanks a lot! In another thread you were recommending slimsaber KK, would this be the latest build?

That would be the latest official build from fusionjack and the build I last used. There are newer builds made by Greekdragon which has some extra security patches somewhere in that thread (can be found using search).

recommendations for stable, lightweight KK rom

I'm looking for a stable KitKat rom on s2. have tried slim (stable) and carbon (nightly) but both seem to lag, FC and/or RR. Can you recommend me some or is it better to switch back to JB? Is the battery drain on KK always higher than on a stable JB?

battery backup is better in kk
did you try CyanogenMod?

not yet, my thoughts are: the bigger the rom, the more probable it is, that it consumes more battery. Slimrom seemed to be the smallest rom I found so far for s2. But I know I should try KK since it replaced Dalvik with ART. Nonetheless I might give CyanogenMod a try. Should I go with the M-builds, since there is no stable release since 4.2.2?

Best or recomended ROM its not allowed on XDA.
Please dont ask for "best ROM" as stated above its not allowed on xda.
Just try a few and decide for yourself.

Looking for recommendations on Rom and kernel

I'm looking for a Rom that's is all about fluid, speed and least lag possible. I'm not big on features and not to concerned about battery life.
Can someone recommend Rom or rom /kernel that would provide what I'm looking for?
I've browsed all the roms and just can't find enough info on what they offer.
Thanks in advance!
IMHO Dirty Unicorns is the best. They even have a 5.1 test build available which I am running.

Do you use the kernel that came with DU or are you using fire ice?

Where can i find the Test build for 5.1 and how stable is it?
http://download.dirtyunicorns.com/files/
(I hope it's OK to post their main d/l page on xda)
N9 5.1 ROMs are a WIP right now. They're very usable, but won't be 100% until official factory images are released.
--- update ---
I just installed the DU 5.1 Test Build mentioned above, and it is indeed fast and stable. I think one of the keys to stability is installing the correct gapps package (people have reported wake locks and FCs on certain gapps). I used the arm64 minimal gapps from SlimRoms.

Rastapop 5.1 has been very stable for me. Stock kernel.

Porting a new linux kernel to a device is not simple. It brings a lot of stability issues if the kernel version is too new, and so most developers stick with a LTS release such as v3.4.104. Most s2 kernels are at kernel version 3.0.101 because it is found to be stable, and so they stick with the mentality that 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

I really love your kernel and you are the new kernel master of i9100 now for me. Then why don't you use v3.4.104? My friend's phone is s4 mini and he is using a v3.4.x.x kernel. I think it is stable to use

Honestly, I think I don't have enough developing experience to do such task chhapil is also thinking to update linux version, but is also unsure whether to upgrade to a newer version or downgrade to 3.4.104.

Thank you for your replies. I have 2 more questions.
1. What are the pros of upgrading 3.4.104 kernel
2. So our device is official cm12.1 now and sources are online. Will you release a lollipop kernel?

1. Some pros of updating Linux kernel could include increased speed and security (since 3.0.101 kernels are not updated anymore) .
2. I guess you didn't see my Sig? Noppy already linked my dorimanx lp kernel thread. Yes, it works perfectly with cm12.1, however doesn't work yet on other roms like paranoid android and slimlp.

To the best of my knowledge there's no stable Lollipop ROM. All ROMs have their own bugs. Why not try the few Popular ROMs yourself?

Nah, in my device i tried multiple lollipops but they are were laggy. So i got back on the latest cm 11 and things are smooth as silk.
I'm staying off lollipop for now.
I don't care about the super latest features, I rather have a stable and secure system.

Both Temasek and ArchiDroid are very fast and stable. I haven't try out the new versions of RR and Blisspop yet
bhai archidroid karle latest wala set hai !
Hi,
Haxynox is actually pretty fast and thin. Discovered a bug, but cannot post it there. So i'm thinking of kinda spamming this place till i get my count up to 10
But in general, KitKat seems better choice for i9300 era systems. Would be nice, if someone compiled as close to aosp kitkat as possible. CM was close, but now really gets bloated with its additional software. It even has CM account system. Maybe i will test out Omni.
Omni is ok, but no theme support, same like slim kk

Need Stable Updated ROM [MM/N]

Does anyone have nougat and marshmallow ROM that is recently updated or is rock solid stable
Need to test some old mods and SOT differences.
May be dual boot compatible.
Don't want to backup current stuff
I don't find Oreo roms very reliable, but Nougat roms are pretty good.
This is my favourite: ViperOS
Resurrection Remix 5.8.5, Android 7.1.2. Been using this build since 8 months. More stable than a horse's house. See what I did there ?
Global beta 8.7.26
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.7.26/miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_8.7.26_c3f457ccde_6.0.zip
Try mokee, they build everyday but I prefer to choose release than nightly.

LineageOS 13. It's stable, updated on a monthly basis to include the latest security patches, the dev is always ready to help and implement useful features. Highly recommended.

Hi, I just migrated to ViperOS N. Which build will you suggest?
Viper-kenzo-20180711-Coral-v3.1.1-amog787_neonbilli-kernel.zip the most stable one?
Use lineage os 7.1.2 customized by umang it's really gud rom even I'm using it in my 2gb Variant and it provides good amount of performance and battery too !!
