Why don't you just stay with the stock ROM?

Think the op was asking closest to stock android not stock sgs2
Cm7 looks like stock but has loads of extra goodness. Not for beginners and its still a wip but still.. well its ace the devs are doing magic stuff

Yeah I tried cm on my desire hd it was quite good but always went back to sense as I liked it, but in my opinion touchwiz is a bit more stock androidy feel to it rather than sense , so wanted to go all out and just try out stock android , so the cm rom, is it available yet? Obviously not stable I take it??
Oh I would also like to ask if someone can tell me is what's the difference between cm stable and nightly builds??
I think I can assume what stable means but never knew what a nightly build was??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Its not 'stable' yet for sgs2 in fact the first nightly only came out today.
Stable releases are known quantities I.e set milestones whereas nightly builds have commits added as they're submitted... nature of the beast some will fix stuff some might cause issues. Pot luck.
Stick with stable builds (there isn't one for sgs2 yet) if you want something rock solid without the occasional gremlin or two.
I quite like touchwiz but always run launcherpro so rarely bump into tw!

MIUI, Cyanogen, or Sense ROMS??

which guys do you use and WHY?
i use Sense roms mainly for 1 reason...AUTO-FOCUS on VIDEO RECORDING...
i tried MIUI but uninstalled
tried CYANOGEN but eventually went back to SENSE roms.
as off 4/30 i am using MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood v1.2 + WiFi Calling/ and i must say, i am kinda feeling the overall performance and ui. Might stick to this for a while.
Using CM7 because I've heard it's the quickest and with the best battery life. Never tried Sense outside of store demo's; while pretty I've heard it has lower battery life.
Never tried MIUI, though it looks interesting.
Which miui did you flash? The newer versions have wonderful ui, in my opinion xD ive never really stuck with sense just because there isn't much choice as far as customization goes. Ive run it for a few months though, and my battery life stayed the constant 12 hour drain cycle. Cyanogen is the g2's bread and butter, but UDroid is a good competitor for 2.3.3. Im using the sensation rom that rmk just ported. Just glitchy enough to be usable
It kinda depends on what you want in a rom. The best way to know what to flash is to try it out for yourself.

Which miui rom are u using?
im currently using MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood v1.2 + WiFi Calling
but found that alarm clock would force close and alot of other apps would force close.
never tried miui, but have tried a sense rom, and immediately went back to CM7. even with CM problems at times, it has been the best overall. I did not like sense at all. Sense tho does have some nice widgets and i would like to have some of them on CM7. beyond that, ill stick with CM7, my phone only started acting out when i changed from CM to other roms so ill be staying with CM7 period. my phone had no problems until i changed to another rom. so i guess im more scared to try other roms now lol
Am for MIUI all the way... It's just a personal like thing you know.

MIUI is kinda laggy, i love the newly leaked rom fro tmobile, but somehow it won't recognize my router so i can't use wifi at home. so at this moment i will stick with cm7
Well, i like Sense rom as it link my FB,Twitter & contact with great Clock/Weather/Friendstream Widget. It's free (unlike Launcher Pro that u need to pay). once got the OC kernel, my Desire Z is superb!
Cyanogen doesnt have autofocus on picture/video?
I strangely doubt that and even if it doesnt, there is problably a alternative.

Don't ever use another miui that isn't from ganii. His rom's are always more stable for some reason. He just released his version of .29, you might wanna use that instead.

agreed... shouldn't really hate on other devs miui's. they both work great and ive had no issues with either.. i use both depending on what i feel like updating to..
im currently running ganii 4.22.. i don't wanna update and have no reason to latest build of miui.. change log doesn't interest me, and i don't wanna have my theme uncompatable or lose trackpad wake.
and miui has never lagged for me, and shown better battery life than cm7, cm7 kinda gets "boring" after a while.. just personal opinion thou.. i like it, but i like the customization of miui better. plus its alot easier to change themes.
idc for sense.. i havent used it for a while, but i always had some lag issues although im sure they are fixed now, and customization was minimal.. besides there sense layouts..
umm I'm on UD ROM 3.3.0 and i can truly say im pleased with my G2 at the moment, but I've always wanted to try a Miui Rom, but i don't know where to find it? can anyone provide some links and tuts?

MiUI Rom
Please check out that link!!
After trying numerous versions of all three, I usually stick with a custom version of CM7 or Stock GB roms. MIUI, while pretty, just doesn't do it for me. I don't like the layout. Sense is nice, but once again, I don't like how it is setup.
Ever since I flashed OsiMood MIUI, I've never looked back. I've tried CM, Ultimate Droid and MIUI and the latter just has everything that I want in my phone. I've only tried Sense on somebody elses phone but didn't like it one bit.
MIUI is not only visually stimulating, but also has a great UI and is very easy to theme. Everything about it is just great and I would recommend it before any other ROM.

Ever since I tried MIUI OsiMood 1.06.03 I never seen anything so good. I am comfortable with the iPhone UI and the fast blazing feel. However the battery life is a little off, so you might need to download "JuiceDefender" but everything else the keep improving so no need to worry, the battery life gets better and better every update. You guys should give it a spin. This rom is amazing!!!

Lets see how many users are using Custom Rom , Stock Samsung ROM , MIUI or CM7....

Heh, true that. I guess most people are just using stock roms, maybe with a custom kernel. This phone works fine the way it is actually, there are just some little flaws that can be fixed with a couple of hacks, and some colours which are a bit out place, but we have some nice themes after all.
Aosp roms are blazing fast tho, really unrivaled in terms of smoothness if you wanna play games...the problem with those is that they aren't 100% bug free as the ones i was using on my Desire, so i find it hard to use them as a daily driver for more than a few days every now and then on this particular phone.

You're going to get a biased result asking on xda, as its where people who like modding go. Most users will not know about xda or bother with custom roms and be using stock

I prefer Samsung custom roms because they are so freakin smooth. Excellent stock browser, I love TouchWiz and the launcher, superb camera interface, and an awesome video player app.
Hyperdroid all the way-official ROM of the 2012 Olympics.
You guys wants me to add more poll items for Custom Stock ROM ?
I'm trying out omega and liking it so far,
Reason why the large distribution is because really, the phone works as is pretty well. It just needs a few tweaks to get rid of that garbage late night battery full alert and a couple other things. Since most people are looking for stock + tweaks, there's a lot of different tweaks available.

MIUI for me.
Cm7 - Stable (for me), reeaaalllyyy fast, MTD, open source, theme chooser, lots of amazing other things, amazing battery life
MIUI -becomes really unstable really soon after flash, not as simple as cm7, dont like the themes as much
TW - Stable, not insane speed, normal battery life, crap, everything works

I'm on CM7 but I may try MIUI again.
I love MIUI's theming system, but it feels so much like a different OS. Not sure if I really like that yet. Also it's not as smooth as CM7 and still feels in early development.
Loving CM7...(even tho wifi is wonky) errrr... Aside from that this ROM rocks! THX CM TEAM!

TouchWiz is not a launcher, its more of a framework. So even though the launcher is gone its still TouchWiz.

I find miui simpler than cm7. I loved cm7, but once I themed out miui and got used to it u can't beat it. Theming is better than cm7 no doubt. Especially lock screens (awesome awesome). It FLIES on Mtd too..and really not buggy at all. Any bugs r minor and easily fixable and nothing greater than wut cm7 has. Transforms ur whole phone and ui. Cm7 is still very android-y, not that that's bad, but not TOO different. Also miui stock launcher is amazing, and the status/notif bars are more customizable and nicer.
Omair..U want to get an idea of what we're running ass-to-mouth? I don't see how that's relevant...but I think I get it..

Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
There is really no rom that is better than another, it's all your personal preference.
I prefer MIUI for the Customization options. You can choose from CyanogenMod 7, CyanogenMod 9, MIUI, Liberty, Vortex.
There are tons of options. I would recommend atleast trying MIUI and Vortex, as they're my two favorites.

Where can I get these roms? Xda? Or rootzwiki?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
How about sticking with the good old stock ROM?
Advantages:
Largest user base, and by a very large margin.
No work needed to install it.
Automatic OTA updates by Verizon, even while you sleep.
Full technical support crew at Verizon store or via website; no need to hide your phone from them or play games like SBF before bringing your phone to them.
Most app developers test their apps against this ROM.
If something is really wrong with this ROM, very many people will complain.
Camera, video, HDMI output, Netflix, etc. all work fine.
There definitely are much worse ROMs out there that can cause excessive battery drain, cripple hardware features, cause certain apps to fail, etc.

Don't use Liquid Smooth
CM7 is my personal preference. However, I would advise that you stay away from Liquid Smooth if you are using ClockWork Recovery Mod. I installed Liquid Smooth and attempted to get into recovery, but got into an infinite Motorola Logo. I had to SBF to get out of it.

It is beta so couple things but it is definitely daily driver material. IIRC the only remaining issues are BT audio in calls, some hiccups in h/w acceleration, flash, and camcorder/panorama modes of the camera. The dev support is strong for this rom so it's only a matter of time b4 it's 100%. It's also your best bet to have ASOP ICS on your phone.

the best!!

Like the others have said, it truly is up to you and that's not being vague, you see people can choose a rom, but then tweak that rom to suit their own preference.
But having said that, the reason why I like using MokeeOS is because of all the roms that I have tried (not many <10), I have found it to be insanely quick to startup and use the camera which is important to me.

Epsilon Project Final V5 + Webtop 2.3.6
I have tried Many of the ROMs available on this site.I like many different things about each ROM.My favorite is to start with ATT 236.141 debloat it,change the kernel,add my stuff. Everything works on it.If your worried about benchmarks it will score as high as others with blur,webtop,and all docks.
stock blur rooted, unlocked, and debloated
after the ICS drivers, who knows? could be any of the roms, but I will probably pick one that still supports webtop.
I think ROM choice depends on the needs of
Distinct feature of atrix is webtop
So if you want to use webtop or any webtop mods like ubuntop gentop etc you will need blur based rom
I would suggest Nottachtrix ROM
then there are CM7 based ROMs where fingerprint scanner works but you will have to sacrifice webtop
Eg. Mrom/ neutrino Rom
I currently run and would suggest you Mrom but again that is my preference you might like something else
Then there are roms like mokee/joyos/miui
Their major plus point is they all look beautiful and miui/mokee have many beautiful themes
So if you want to have a good looking phone go for them
Hope this helps you understand why people suggest you to try different ROMs and choose on your own..some people can live without webtop some cannot so its upto you to choose what exactly you want
Cheers!

After using CM9 and CM10, going back to any gingerbread based rom is painful. If you can live with the shortcomings (lack of drivers) of CM9/10, they are by far better experiences than CM7 or Stock.
Epinter's CM10 works best for me, u should try it
