Hi All,
Well the s2 is an old phone and the first phone that I rooted and installed a custom rom on.
Surprisingly a phone that still has a lot of people installing a custom rom on.
But what is everyone running on it these days?
Does anyone still use this as a daily phone?
Look forward to seeing what everyone has to say about this oldie.
I use my SGS2 as my dev phone. I'm running LineageOS 14.1 microG and I'm building RROreo and LIneage OS 14.1 for my self with linaro.

hi guys how r u doing,
I'm here for the first time. couple of days ago i flashed my moto g xt1033 with cynogenmod 12.1, so far fine and i like fresh stock kind of android without any layers on it.
One of my friend recently saying that he installed exodus on one plus one and battery performance increased a lot. So i wanted to know about it and googled, i didn't find much of information but some where i read about it and he was also talking about cyanogenmod. So i'm confused is exodus kind of rom just like cynogenmod or what.
please tell me and also tell me if it is different rom , does anyone suggest me to move to exodus from cyanogenmod ?
please help me out with this confusion.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hello!
Since i got my G2m not to long ago i`m still testing the battery, the Stock Lollipop vs CM 12/13 (especially 13) battery.
I`m already into it, i got a fresh install of Stock Lollipop (had CM13 untill now) but it`ll take much more time to find out, so...
Is there anybody who can tell me his observations regarding the Stock vs CM 12/13 battery?
Much love.
Hey guys. Just a heads up for anyone unlocked with twrp installed - there's a bunch of aosp nougat roms over on the g4 plus thread that work on our phones. So far I've tried AOKP, CM 14.1, AICP, and I'm currently running Xenon HD. The only one I've tried that I didn't like was AICP. I just didn't like the feel, I can't really put my finger on why.
Also, they say you need to flash the soak test before flashing the roms. It's my understanding that's because of finger print sensor issues. We do not need to, as we don't have the sensor. I have the XT1625(US variant), so can't flash the soak test, and they've all worked so far.
I have tried them all also i like the new reserection the best but no theme chooser that really sucks plus no xposed yet
I used XPerience for over a week and really liked it, but the battery life wasn't as good as stock. Also, no overclock capability. So I am back on rooted stock/ElementX kernel. I also tried RR 5.8.0 but didn't like it at all. A lot different than the MM version that I used on my G2 for over a year.
All have worked for me but reverted back to stock as it still seems better. Just waiting on the official release.
At the moment I'm using a S3 as a replacement for my BQ Aquaris which was send to repair.
I buyed a new battery for it, an Anker 2.200 mAh.
Now I'm using a Lineage OS nightly. But everytime I use an actual ROM on an old device the battery consumtion seems to be very high. The doze mode at night doesn't seem to work on old hardware?
All functions seems to be fine with LOS 14.1, except the annoying "MTP-Host has stopped".
When I get my phone back I will give the S3 back to my parents. So I have to install a ROM which works flawless. But I think it would be good if this is an actual ROM because of security reasons.
So my question to the daily users of the S3-device is:
What ROM is one of the bestdaily driver? Stock based 4.x, Stable CM13 or nightly Lineage 14?
For the s3 the last official stock firmware is probably the best way forward seeing as your parents won't appreciate having root access anyway.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Im using a J500FN and tried a few ROMs here, currently using Pixel Experience based on Android Q. Its smooth and everything works but I have an issue since I got this ROM and the previous Custom ROMs for Android Q, my battery doesn't last all day. I even bought a new batter and there was no change... Is it possible to get a ROM that lasts all day? If someone knows it, kindly point me to the right direction.
Thank you
