best custom rom - Galaxy S II General

i am looking for a custom rom for my sgs2 but dont know witch one feeds my needs. looking for one close to the original one but with lots of tweaks en add ons in it like battery mod and extended menus. whay do you guys suggest?

Try cognition 1.5 it's quite close to stock with lot of additions like advanced power menu and tweaks. Definitely a rom to try.

Don't listen to them, just stick to samsung firmware... all custom rom are not stable and they release just for market testing.

Are you serious no roms are stable? How many have you actually tested?

Yes serious bro, not stable enough... i try many of them.
1) slow in viewing photo and internet.
2) battery usage not stable
3) will not be able to do multi application
4) ...

Try DarkyRom2, very close to stock without any unecessary tweaks. Running perfect without any issue and great battery life with Speedmod kernel t27

never had any of them troubles with leomar perhaps you have been trying the wrong roms mate
leomar is stable , has great battery life , can be customised greatly via themes/mods/patches as one wishes via his application , offers great support ive dontated 3 times his support is so good and is generally an amazing piece of work where he listens to users and trys to offer what they want
i have tried a few others but just found leomar to be a great dev and his rom to be top notch stuff
check it out

thumbs up for LeoMar Revolution ROM.
he is also one of the most helpful and active devs here.

Thx will try some of those and see wat is best for me

Check for yourself here and here. Check for yourself, or see what people said in other threads.

Leomar Revolution is the best rom I've used.
stable, A LOT of themes, very easy to use configuration app

im use criskelo v14 on my sgs2 and for me its the best rom

litening v5 with ninpheta 2,0,5 rock steady...
no problems what so ever.
nice and long battery life, fast browser
nice launcher coming with it.
no wipe rom it is simply a nice and stable rom
Thank LitePRO

I sense the problem you have may be in fact user error rather than the ROM being unstable. Which ROMs did you try that weren't able to "do multi application"?

Which is the best stock rom for you? JPY/JS5/JS7/JS8/JPG/JPJ/JPK/JVK

I'm sure lots of you guys have come across these few roms and to be exactly, they are actually not much difference from each others as you can see in the release date..e.g JPK's build date just right after JPJ's..changes are minor, maybe some bug fixes.
Well the thing is..if any of you have tried any of these rom..would you provide any info regard these roms? how it perform? etc etc..battery life, smoothness in app drawer scrolling, gallery bug, or even the heat issue when connected to wifi, what is it so promising that convincing you flash from (JS5 to JS7 or 8 lets say?)I mean..just share..just share what you thought about these rom, when it is stock of course lol.
I see lots of people still asking about the gallery bug in almost every new rom's thread, why don we share it out here?like..the bug exits in which or which rom and doesnt exists in which or which rom.
and oh most importantly..it would be the BEST if you could provide info like..what are the changes from the previous rom to the latest rom.I know how difficult this is cos' samsung never really provide the changelog for each rom..at least some of your user experience please?
I would like to choose from the options you gave, but for me the best stock ROM so far is XWJVK (Gingerbread 2.3.3). Has best smoothness so far, no lag or black screens and I haven't encountered any issues yet. I can't really.say anything about the battery life yet as I haven't recalibrated my battery yet, but so far XWJVK is the best for me!

I must agree. Battery life is also unbelievable. None of earlier roms i tried haven't come this close to smoothness and battery life, well maybe JPE modem was close at battery life, but JVK got better reception and 3g speed.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Definitely JVK, best battery life and smoothness so far. Can't wait for the final release of gingerbread, it'll be awesome.
JVK what else?
perfect jvk
ah shouldn't include JVK the answers are too 1 sided lol
JVK without hesitation, this makes sgs fly
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
JPJ/JPK are my preference now because of the ability to use the speedmod kernel which adds the lower brightness and crisper display. Both a must for me. The only downside is the notification drawer isn't super smooth. Otherwise just as fast as JVK, IMHO.
Sent from a telephony device
its obvious tht the new versions will b changd 4 better perfrmance.. but when ever i flash to 2.1 update i mean it feels tht sgs is perfect for tht...yeah iam on froyo stock now and ive flashed every gud roms out there....but personally i think gone r the days of sgs soon...wiv s2,lg 3d ,,,all those high end cpu,gpu,ram etc its huge compe////// and how long can i push a limited hardware to work wiv the latest tech now/////i love my phones but jus cant stick wiv something thts getting outdated ///face the fact.... soon iam switching wen i get some serious cash lol.....peace.....cheerz
JVK without any doubt

Jvk.
Hands down for me.
I used to flash friends phones with my own custom roms, darkys, and good stock versions and someone would always complain about something....
Flashed 6 phones now with rooted stock jvk. Modified framework Res for screen off animation only. Russian method for lights turning off and not one complaint. Yay. Friends just showing off to iph4 users.

Freshly Sqeezed FTW. MrGaraks does wonders! miss MIUI! lol...
I tried a 1.7.15 official MIUI and seemed a bit laggish. I like MIUI style but i want a perfectly smooth rom, i hate lags
Suggestions? Sci-MIUI or Freshly Squeezed?
there are no major diffference between all of the dhd miui roms here. the differences are only optical and/or minor optimizations/customizations.
regarding lags and battery time it basically does not matter which miui custom rom you are using.
as far as i know no one of the miui cursom rom devs here is really changing anything on the original miui. or changes are only additional scripts for tweaking some parameters or including a customiuzation mod or a different kernel.
there is far less magic than many users might think.
mr.garaks freshly squeezed miui is a very good rom. the best about this rom is mr.garak himself because he is very fast at helping.
i cannt talk about rd miui (sorry if it is wrong, not sure about the name) by dekky as i didn't tested it. but judging from his changelist he also didn't changed much significant. so his rom should also work very good..
though, some of the tweaks one of us applies to his rom could make trouble for some users or sometimes it is simply a coincidence. try them out and where you feel most comfortable that you should keep. there is no real best miui rom.
I'm on newest official with supercharger and kernelizer and oc.. INCREDIBLE SPEED i just had to bold it
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk
I personally use the official released from "MIUIAndroid.com". That way I have a better idea of what's been done to my ROM, and I know that random tweaks haven't been done.
For issues regarding lag. I use LordModUE Kernel. Whether or not it actually makes a difference or if it's just the placebo effect I do not know. But I know that I enjoy the experience more with LordModUE.
Just my 2 cents.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
@Arktihx : i fully understand you. that's one of the reasons why i started doing my own miui rom
i have a quite detailed change over stock list. and if this is not enough i am willing to pinpoint the changes. i think this should every dev do.

Best stable ROM for galaxy tab 2 7.0

Galaxy peria my rom and cm10.1.2 and blackhawk rom and mookee unoffical
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
I've tried CM, AOSPA, PAC and finally SlimBean and combined with TabletUI, Xposed framework and Holo launcher the latter one is what I like most!
Eeehhhh. I use PAC-Man. It's not the most stable thing in the world, with it's occasional fast rebooting. But, I have never seen a ROM with as many customization options as this. Throw your favorite CM theme, and your favorite icon pack for Apex or Nova launcher, maybe play around with the transparency levels and colors on your Navbar and status bar, and then... Then you have a thing of beauty right there. I like it, even though it has it's quirks.

The one found at http://download.cyanogenmod.org/
I am using the 10.1.0 RC5. I think it's the overhead of all Samsung crap that can be found on the device that makes it move like a slug. (Alas, for me the speed was barely acceptable)

Hi, can't give you specific rom. Right now I am using the rom and kernel combo you said, so far so good with performance antutu 37900+.
What I can tell you is that, you can play around because you can always go back to stock unrooted. Just read properly and follow instructions.

Can't remember on top of my head which ROM was but I got 15+ hrs screen time, no FC whatsoever even though I got it from Apple Appstore. Also I can run any Windows executable file on it. It's superior!
That's the most stable ROM I got.
Again, it is based on my experiences

Anything more specific about this ROM and its current status on our GT-N7000? It's hard to find any real info.
How does it compare eg. to Carbon or Slim? I tried several KK ROMs, and while the features are brilliant and looks are fine, they're just not stable enough for daily use (reboots, freezes, systemui crashes etc.)

Okay guess I have to answer to myself. I tried the ROM for several days, and it was at least as good as the other KK roms I tried, and possibly better. Still not stable enough for daily usage, though. Themes are buggy and lead to systemui restart loops. Phone also frequently becomes unresponsive (screen won't come back on from sleep). When it works it works great, but it fails many times in a day. Tried both with the original kernel and the Forest kernel, no apparent difference.
