Hello everyone,
I'm contacting you because I need an advise concerning my s6 edge. I have this phone since two years and I would like to change the Rom but I don't know which one I need to install. I want a Rom like the Samsung one on nougat or Oreo. I want one which is optimize and better than the original one.
Currently I have some issue with the battery life and I think that is due to the multiple software update.
Thanks for your help and advice.
I just need the same information. What's better nougat/touchwiz based custom rom for battery life? I know it's just a 2600mha but I'd like to enjoy the maximum time of use with it. Thanks
Once upon a time in xda people helped
I installed super stock s8. It's a good rom. If you want to increase the battery life you can go to screen option and choose full HD.

Well, first of all you say flash a ROM to your phone, not flash your phone to a ROM.
That said, if you're looking for a close to stock experience, with a tweaked ROM you could try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312240 . It was released yesterday and was the merge of two ROM proyects, both which I tried and liked. SO you will go risk free with that one.
I personally am on CM7 and like it over anything but it's not based on samsung firmware so there is a downside. For example you have to renounce to all samsung apps like the samsung camera which is great and polaris office (which was really bad for me), but besides that it's all great. CM7 is fastest than any samsung based ROM, smoother, etc... Just a little bit harder to flash it for the first time.
Sorry, was not good english. I changed it.
I will look at that, I maybe found something else.
Is this a good, stable rom without much battery drain?

I really don't know about that one. Anyway, trying it cannot do any harm, maybe you find yourself with a great ROM.
Well you right. There are not so many roms for the S2. I hope some people with a S2 with custom rom can tell more about the roms and the kernels...
yes, it is a good rom but what kind of custom rom?
gives us what you are looking for and we can point you in the right direction.
Hello,
She is looking for a stable rom with low battery drain. She does not much with the phone. Sometimes little games, call, sms, whatsapp. She also like a nice design.
Hi All,
My SGS3 is due for delivery this week, thought I'd have a look at what roms are on offer. But I'm finding the choices a bit confusing.
I've currently got a Moto Defy (hate it ) and on that I've had Miui, MS2, CM7 & CM9. I stuck with CM7.
My dilemma is, what SGS3 rom will give my phone the widest range of its features? Which rom has the least bugs? What are the differences between each rom and stock? (as not each rom has a list of features)
I know that this will be about personal preference, but I'd just like some info!
So I'm appealing to anyone running a custom SGS3 rom, to tell me what's good about the rom you have. Or if you've tried one and gone back to stock let me know.
Thanks
Lowyo

hi,
ive been running blackstar rom with siyah for 5-6 days now and can highly recommend it, its amazing and no issues for me. Never been a big fan so using a stripped back bloatware free aosp rom is my personal preference. the performance is streets ahead of stock rom, my battery life also greatly improved over stock.
Ive also tried omega rom and wanamlite, both good roms but blackstar easily the best for me. Fixes some issues over stock rom such as, auto brightness and inreasing ringtones. Plus as it rooted you get all the benefits of overclocking and undervolting. Try it you won't regret it
There is no best ROM.
Every ROM has it's pros and there cons.
Just review Change-Logs and check out which one you like more.

Thanks Daz,
I'll give it a go. Battery life improvements are always welcome.
Close thread please

Closed, there is no such thing as a "best rom", thus best rom threads are considered OT.
Also, post questions in the Q and A section.
Thank you.
Hello, It's been quite long since i've changed a rom and I don't really remember which rom im currently using but the battery life and speed is not very good but it didn't really bother me coz I didn't need to use the phone that much, but now I need to use it quite a lot and I want to change a rom and I saw that there's new unofficial JB rom and I wanted to ask how is the rom/JC stock and if someone can recommend a good stock+custom rom that works fast and saves battery life, thanks for the help.
Hi,
I'm new here and I wanted your help with galaxy s2.
my mom and little sister has it and the battery dies very fast and the device is working very slowly.
Should I install a rom?
If so, what kind and how to do it?
(maybe other programs as well like google play, camera and i don't know what)
Also, if you think I should buy a new battery, please send me a link to battery on ebay - better world free shipping (amazon doesn't send most of its items to my country)
Many thanks,
Eli.

If you want to install a rom, try neatrom 6.4 by sale. It's based on stock jelly bean and is very stable and gives excellent battery life. You will be able to customise what bloatware you want to install (e.g Samsung apps, etc). You might also want to consider installing a custom kernel as well like apolo kernel 4.15b as it can greatly improve battery life if tuned accordingly.
If you need a battery, the anker 1900mah batteries are pretty good, I'm using them right now and they are performing quite well. I bought them from eBay from the seller 'ankerdirect'. I wouldn't really recommend buying 'genuine' batteries online since most Samsung batteries for s2 have stopped production, so there is a chance of them being fake.
If all option fails, it is most likely a hardware problem. My second s2 has very poor battery life due to hardware problems and old age, so buying a new phone may be the only solution.

Are you already on STOCK Jelly bean? If not, you should update your phone to the latest official samsung release.

I have android 4.1.2 on the phone.
there are no updates to the phone.
so what would you suggest and why?
you suggested 4.1.2 rom but why not newer?
and, can I make the phone in Hebrew or Russian using this rom?

I have suggested a rom based on stock jellybean 4.1.2 as this version of Android seems to give the best battery for the s2. Normal stock rom is very bloated and so battery life is lost. However neatrom can remove most of the bloatware so that you can get the best possible battery life from stock 4.1.2. Lollipop roms have bad battery life no matter how many you try, however kitkat is the last good version of Android for our phone. If you really want to have a updated rom, try slimsaber 4.4.4 by fusionjack.
Hi everyone, been lurking around the forums but never bothered to post much outside XDArticles.
I have had my Galaxy S2 since launch, and whilst a good phone, I'll be hopping to the OnePlus 3T soon. Because my phone still works (and is running CM12.1) I was going to give it to my not-so tech-savvy mother to use.
Whilst I could teach her how to use Lolipop no bother, is there an "easier" to use ROM out there? Or is the CM ROM still the easiest no -frills option?
(P.S I won't need help to flash etc, so I am not too fussed about changing)
Thanks for the help!

For this case i would recommend latest cm 11 KitKat.
I use it for family members, who do not want it to "complicated".
This one is quite up to date:

For gapps use latest pico open gapps.

If your mom is familiar with stock rom, you can try "Neat" rom it's stock based and have great performance and battery life.
Thanks for the suggestions guys!
IIRC, CM11 uses Dalvik RunTime whilst CM12 used ART. From my time with CM12, I felt my phone was laggier and more battery hungry than CM11, although, these forums are saying they saw improvements in CM13.
So, I think I'll replace the battery first, then flash Neat ROM and test. If the results aren't great, then I'll give CM11 a go as I remember that being quite good.
