Roms!!! R they much faster than stock?

I mean I've had many frikin phones in the pass last one before this was a sensation ...
I'm saying all this cause for the first time I find a stock rom really fast/smooth. So is it really worth it a custom rom?
And I read here and there about a browser lag? What lag? This is one or the smoothest browser I tried on a phone
Let me know what rom u running and if u really feel the difference ..remember ..to review a rom u need a couple of days ..heavy use ..right after u load a rom it would be fast and smooth that's usually the case.

im using stock KE2
one of the only reasons ive seen people use custom roms is because of the battery life .Im fine on my KE2 i can go for 2+days without a charge
I think what they mean by browser lag is that some custom ROMs have buggy browsers ..... im not sure of this

Mine is KE7 I have no problem with battery either ...

ill probably change roms a year from now so i can try the AOSP feel of CM7 or CM8 if android 4 is around the corner
basically i want to try "android" for what it is

With the brute force of dualcore and 1Gb ram, i doubt a customized ROM can make a significant difference like what it did on the SGS1. Im using KF1 ( stock with my phone ) and I have no battery or speed issues, I still have all the samsung bloat installed just for stress testing. Will be removing it maybe tomorrow.

Nah, there is no real speed difference that I can notice and I have tried every rom here exept MIUI. A number of guys are running the phone underclocked by 33% and don't notice any difference. Outside of gaming it would seem we have power to spare for the moment. I cant comment on the stock browser as I used it just long enough to figure out the text reflow blows chunks and moved over to opera. I never had a problem making it through the day and that is all the battery I require.
Still performance be it speed or improved battery life is only one aspect of custom roms. There is also the various mods, bug fixes, and extended options and functionality, that chefs throw in that make installing a rom a no brainer to me. Roms are in their infancy on this device, I expect them to get a lot more interesting after 2.3.4 drops and they mature.

I cannot see any performance difference with villainrom either. However it seems to me that the battery usage is much better than with stock rom.
With normal usage (except games) the SGS2 performs great - you just don't need to worry about speed.
@qwerty warrior:
there's a fix for the laggy browser in custom roms.

I've been using VillainRom v1.4 for a little now (tried out MIUI before which was nice but wanted something with a little less bugs.) and mainly the only reason I switched from stock was to test if the battery is any better (been getting similar to stock battery life) and to have a deodexed rom for themes. Also, I've been running my SGS II UC at 500mHz and I had experience no lag at all. Haven't played too many intensive games but, when I played Riptide GP it ran smoothly. Overall to me the main advantage to having a custom rom now (until CM or MIUI are out and stable) are for the themes available to a deodexed rom.
Hope this helps.

Almost all non GB-Sense ROMs are 100% functional and good for daily use. GB Sense ROMs are also supposedly good for daily use but I personally find them quite glitchy and slow (try them anyway, you may be able to tolerate this). I use Typhoon CM7 as it's fast, efficient, and regularly updated with the latest features.

TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.7.3[2.3.7][A2SD][tytung r12.4v3]
I have been using these for my daily since around 2.4.something and love it, quick updates, fast as anything performance with pretty decent battery. I have everything turned on and am on one WiFi connection or another pretty much all day. Use it moderately for browsing, texting, phone, and gps and it lasts pretty much all day for me. Give it a shot, I bet you will be happy.
Oh yeah, I am sure you would be able to tell from the thread but there is no Sense or anything, pretty standard CM7 interface with ADWLauncher

I've tried many different ROMs over the last few weeks and finally arrived with TyphooN as well.
What I found more important is that from my experience, tytung's 12.3 (and newer) kernels are the only ones that have no or close to no audio quality issues, so I'd definitely opt for a ROM with tytung's kernel.

Check my signature. Has everything you asked for on this thread

I´m also on TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 for a long time now.
Very stable and fast, good battery live time

I am using Hd2 Ndt ginger ginger rom , its very fast and stable with go launcher

Hard not to see your signature. It's a full-screen advertisement.

Hyperdroid is tha bomb.

Thanks for answers
Will see what i land on finally.. I can see i have a few more to test =))

I have used TyphooN_CM7 and Desire HD Ace, these two roms on my hd2.
one is original android and one is with sense...
I think you can try these two roms,

Any flavor of Hyperdroid is tight. My best recommendation is try a few different roms out and seeing if you like one. If using it intensively is a big issue for you I would suggest that you don't install system heavy apps, i.e. Live wallpapers, crazy widgets that use system resources like weather or GPS. Keeping GPS and WIFI off until you need to access those services and changing the display brightness down a tad. There are plenty of threads on these issues and keep in mind that Android itself is a huge battery abuser, but it's so worth it. I use the above mentioned apps and still get a full day out of my phone as long as I don't spend hours at a time accessing them. Keeping a charger on hand at work also helps as well.

I´m using AmericanAndroid nand since first release and it´s very fast, good battery life 2mA in standby.

Streak giving me greif

Ok so I was running gingerstreak 2.4.4 with gkernels latest 1.5, but twice in the past 2 days its reset itself and deleted all my data, luckily I had a nandroid backup so ive installed that as im at work and have no access to a oc right now, is this a common problem ?? Is there an easy fix or should I go back to stock? Im gettin really tired of having to reinstall all my apps, and stuff ovrr and over
Which rom is most suitable for stability and good gaming? Im now.back to dsc rom but dunno if ill stick with it
Any help is appreciated

Like you, i have experimented with several ROMS/kernels over the duration of the Streaks (short) lifetime. Everytime i tried a ROM (Streakdroid included), id like it, but something would be missing...(ie. slow hardware acceleration, since i use my streak mainly for gaming).
I have pretty strict criteria for what i expect in a ROM. It must be 2.3 (gingerbread) based or above, it must be able to play 3D (gameloft) games WITHOUT lag, and it must have an OC kernel.
with Power_Rom Lite, i get everything that i want. quadrant scores are through the roof (2000+) with this 2.3.3 based ROM. No lag, quick boot, awesome ICS theme..everything i needed BUT gameloft games ran slow as hell. so then, i decided to mix & max a bit...so i flashed a new kernel over that rom: Power_Mod for GB ROMS v1. GREATEST DECISION I EVER MADE. Quadrant scores suffered a bit (down to 1400+) but now gameloft games run PERFECT with no lag
this combination of ROM/kernel works best for me....

If you really need stability, ask yourself if you really need Gingerbread. All the Gingerbread roms for the streak are still pretty experimental since it was never officially released. I've used pretty much every GB rom to date, but they have all had a few major issues (that all seem to rear their heads a week or two after their installed for some reason )
You may just want to go back to Froyo. Newest version of all the Froyo custom roms should have everything ironed out...

You might also want to consider flashing the dsc 0.62b rom. I personally found it to be the best with no random reboots, no fcs whatsoever and equally good battery life.

Rebooting to factory settings is different than the random reboots. I'm getting this as well and I suspect hardware. I may try going back to froyo, but chances are I'll be buying a Note soon.

[Q] Today's Androids for HD2

Hello.
I was gone from forum in a couple of weeks because I got used to WP7 on my HD2. But since ICS came out I couldn't just leave it. So I want to ask you how is ICS working on HD2? Is it so slow and laggy like the other Android ROMs for HD2 were some months ago? If yes which other ROM is relatively fast and smooth today? And if something changed since then can I get names of the fastest and smoothest ICS and GB ROMs with their advantages and disadvantages?
Thank you.
okey~

They are allfast n smooth. For example check out hyperdroid or cm7ite for GB or icecream tosti AOSP+ or tytungs cm9 ics rom for ICS. Ics still have a LITTLE zoom prob n flash isnt fully supported yet. But using youtube app for vids works great. Im using ics now for weeks (as my phone for work, ftp vpn works) and no probs here. If you want a rom which works perfectly with full hardware support check GB. In both, ics n gb there isnt any "slow" or lag anymore. You are also able to oc with stock kernel or dorimanx or fikret kernel up to max 1600mhz. Just check it out by yourself.
Question.. how can someone ever get used to wp7 lol? Its trash without any functionality and lag of apps, imo. They made a huge step back with this os.
So check out the android nand rom section
Sent from my HTC HD2

So answering your question:
I also always liked to play with apps and so on but all the Androids I've tried then were slow or were crushing or restarting constantly. So I had to find an OS which would never fail me. WP7 showed to be the best one for it. It's the fastest and smoothest OS I've ever tried which never crushes and is unbelievably intuitive. I've never had any problems with it so I just stayed with it.
Anyway, thank you for your answer. Can we play the best 3D games without lags on ICS? Which ICS ROM would you recommend most?
Sincerelly
okey~

ICS is not there yet, would need full Hardware Acceleration to work before it gets into a stable mode.
If you want a no hassle, fast ROM go give cmhtcleo's CM7 nightlies or Tytung's Nexus HD2 (Gingerbread) or Tyween's Typhoon or Dorimanx's light ROM or Hyperdroid or any of the CM7/ AOSP GB ROM a try.
If you are an advanced user go for Dorimanx's Highend ROM - read up properly though.
Both of these configs will run apps and games pretty slickly for a 1GHz 448 MB (user memory) device, and are pretty stable - my phone has been up for 300 hours without a reboot now.
If you want eye candy, Sense

I think Tytung ROM is very smooth for ICS,,,,,,,but for running games without lag, i prefer you running Gingerbread,,,it's stable
Maybe you can try....

I suggest you flash smokin901's MIUI V4 which is superb.

I think that, at this point, it makes no sense using any gb based ROM when we have an almost fully stable ics ROM... gingerbread just doesn't cut it anymore for me... there are a lot of new apps that only run on it. But granted, gingerbread is more stable, no doubt. You have to decide, rock solid stability, but outdated android or updated android experience with the occasional problem

Thank you. I decided for aurora ICS.

Elora
In my humble opinion, Elora is THE rom, a perfect combination of Aurora and Elite Roms, fast, stable, and with the functions that gingerbread should had.
They say, it might get some bugs, like the wifi or the headphone bugs, but I've been using Elora for the last couple of days and haven't seen none of thoose bugs.

Im using aurora ics and i can say that the only bug that i found was the grey wifi icon which never had that problem again since i flashed the init.d scripts for higher fps. So i trully recommend aurora ics. It was my first rom and im really happy with it. Your choice mate

.....

I was using Aurora 4.1 but I found that the wifi went idle time to time and the 3g internet browsing wasnt the fastest, the touch keys wouldn't light up sometimes and some other minor stuff.
I switched to CM7 and I've been using it for about 3 weeks and its so much better imo.
Faster 3g browsing and the other problems went away. I use the wifi and 3g heavily for viber so its great for this use.

I really don't want to sound like a fanatic, but there aren't any wifi issues with elora.

Elora?
Hey everyone, does anybody know what happened to Elora thread? It used to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798031
