What is the best ROM for SGS

Hey ,
guys what is the best ROM rigth now for SGS ( ROM + kernel )?
im looking for good battey and the fastest that can be xD
i dont care about the design
what u guys think?
the ROMs i have been told that good are
Simply Honey
CM7
what u guys think about this 2 ROMs ?

I think the best one is the stock JVP, with a fugumod kernel. Install a deodexed so you can install mods, like gtalk with video, a Gingerbread theme and you're good to go!

Try juwe you won't regret

juwe's with semaphore kernel

(ROM) GingerCriskelo V7x
[KERNEL] DarckCore 2.7.3
2gether are flyin'

I'm using the Simply Honey since 3.5 but the last one 3.6.1 is very nice and stable.

@Elia: just try some ROMs and you'll find your favourite one.

Go for what's in my signature.. And i've tried lots of gingerbread.

juwe rom + dark core kernel for me. fast n nice theme

Tweaky's ROM, DarkCore kernel, Gingerbread launcher from Market. Best combination for me. Fast, stable and nice looking (stock glass screen, stock Gingerbread theme, 3D app drawer).
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S running Tweaky's ROM with XXJVP Gengerbread

The best rom that i've just found for my SGS after 2 months is:
Rom: RomKitchen jvp (all the basic stuff, you don't need all the crappy things for Samsung) with Modem JVP
Kernel: Semaphore_kernel_JVP_1.2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908).
New drivers, compatible with Tegra: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427).
I removed for caution software update process.
I OC'ed my phone to 1200 mhz and works very well. Only one freeze in 5 days.
The Quadrant score is ~ 2200 - 2750. (i know it's irrelevant but i had to mention about this)
The phone is really fast - i can compare with CM7.
The battery life is very very good.
Take a try and tell me if you like it.

Don't forget that while CM7 is a fully independent ROM, and MIUI is based on CM, all the others are based on stock.
So by taking a clean deodexed stock and patching it, you can get exactly what you want - but not the crappy themes and buggy mods we often find in stock - based ROMS.
Actually the best ROM is probably the one yoi generate from the kitchen, but I don't know if JVP is available yet.

I've tried various gingerbread stock roms and found JPJV6 the fastest and energy saver
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Goatrip 2.0 for me, best ROM by far & I've been through a few

there is no one "BEST ROM" the question is what you looking for.
some have more battery time and some look better than the others.
so like isaid, the question is what you need and want

JVP with Tegrak under ONEnand Mode I suppose.

there are no such best ROM, but features u wanna have on custom ROMs. U need to know what is ur preference then choose ur own custom ROM.
Speed? definately CM7 but its still on beta.
Speed and features? Juwe's but a bit dull on the black and white.
SGS 2 apps? Tweaky ROM
Kernel? I suggest Talon 1200. Still on dev but still gives best performance and battery saving.

had darky, cyanogen, and now i'm trying Ryyu's EDB
i want the latest rom... like you not stock

Recommend a new rom for me!

All that matters to me is speed, stability and battery life.
I have been running Darkys 9.2 for a long time now, but the battery life is getting to be very poor, so looking to try out something new.
Appart from the battery life if has been rock solid to date.
Any advice is welcome

There are plenty out there and only one way to find out, happy flashing

In my opinion, there isn't a perfect rom in this world which matches your description. However, if I were to choose one, I would choose Cyanogenmod 7. It is currently on Nightly, but it is stable enough for daily usage. Battery life is not that good, but its speed complements it, combined with loads of customisations available.
I hope that helps, mate

So why not flash stock odexed JVQ without any modifactions?

Try s.u.f.a.ce rom .Its a base rom with addons I installed the base and manually extracted and installed what I wanted from the addons. Almost a build your own without being a developer. Fastest rom ive tried with best battery because its light

This ^
Ive tried a bunch, I only flashed this ROM cuz Sam ported a theme I liked ended up liking the ROM since its a barebones ROM
Other then that ROM Id go with just a stock JVQ, Ive always fallen back to the stock ROMs after not liking something about the customs I installed

Thanks guys will give s.u.r.f.a.c.e a shot!
Just out of interest, does it have a lagfix like Darkys rom?
Cyanogen's battery issues are keeping me away from it for now.
I have it on my wife's wildfire and its a completely new animal since I flashed it.

F1 Galaxy S2 V6
no battery drain and smooth with galaxianEE2.4 kernel

GingerReal 7.1.4 , Semaphore 1.3.3. kernel, works briliant-e.

Search: Android Development topic

Stock is the best...

In the past weeks i tested several roms and kernels.
Roms: GingerReal 7.1.4, Surface 2.1, Juwe 5.2, CM7, Darky 10.2
Kernel: Speedmod, Galaxian, Semaphore
For me the best pair is Darkys Rom with the semaphore kernel on EXT4.
I never had such a smooth, speedy and long battery usage on any rom/kernel.

whats the best unbranded Galaxy S2 Stock Rom

I really like the stock Rom
Not quite ready to flash a new one yet (unless a good MIUI shows up)
I think the stock rom is very smooth and only really needs root to be a good everyday workable rom, until something outstanding shows up.
I currently have stock branded orange rom (rooted) witha most of the orange and samsung apps frozen with titanium backup.
I am looking for a totally (or near as dammit) stock Rom but without all the branding form orange, and unnecessary apps running in the background so i can get better battery life.
Any ideas on the best one for my purpose.

may take a look at LeoMar Mod with Ninpho kernel in the meantime.
Sick of this horrible orange logo on bootup

I'm using the leaked stock XXKG3 together with the Ninphetamine v2.02 Kernel and all is well.
Good battery life, smooth rom with no issues and no restarts, looking forward to the 'official' release.
In the meantime if you want to flash it via Odin here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

I have installed Lite'ning Rom v4.1 XXKG3 - Fast as Lightning, but not happy as I thought and experienced custom ROM's before.
Now, can I install any of the stock (original) SGS2 ROMs or should I find the same one I had in my phone before I flashed custom ROM??
Thanks

I owned the SGS1 when it came out and it desperately needed fixes and alternative ROMs, now with the SGS2 I am a bit surprised because I ended up to the same conclusion as you. I feel no need for custom ROMs. The stock ain't so bad, TouchWiz is decent, it runs stable enough, really have no issues.
So I'm also looking for a clean Samsung stock ROM to get rid of all of my operator junk (useless apps taking resources, startup/shutdown logos, etc). Plus it's bad to have to wait more when a new version comes out as operators take ages to customize them (still on KE6/KEB)
I think I will wait until the first official "clean" Samsung 2.3.4 comes out tho... right now it is pretty good, except for the usual battery problem (that IMHO can only be really fixed with a fat 3000 mAh battery or so)

Well for now AOKP roms are the way to go I think any way, roms like RootBOX and Resurrection Remix along with either Fluxxi, CM9 or Siyah kernel
Should check them out

I use NeatRomLite v1.1 and I'm extremely satisfied!! Both with battery life, speed and smoothness! Try it, you'll love it!!

The 'best ROM' is the one that works best for your phone. Try a few out and make your own decision.

The most complete ROMs (Arc)

To all those with a lot of knowledge to all custom roms, please post the most complete custom roms or at least the ones with least bugs and issues.

Definitely CM7 imo.

CM7 is great and what im using right now but have issues with camera in video recording...

Cm7.2 (52) is great, but not work radio fm and the default app crash on the video recording hd.
all custom roms I've tried work well, I tried:
1) arconium
2) aniking
3) mod xperia
4) Fasty
I still think that the best is the SE.TWEAKED, as a general balance, lightness and speed.
All tested with V15 DoomKernel

try MIUI you wont be disappointed

MIUI I miss, but even that seems to have something that does not work properly (FM radio, HDMI, and anything else I can not remember).
Which version you recommend?

arconium 5.6, perfect and fast and no bugs.

Guys, very recently i got the S2 for my bro and let me tell you that i am hard core SE fan and that is why i still want to hold the ARC with me
That said, i find the stock samsung's ROM very stable usable and fast, especially when compared to SE's stock ROM
Any comparisons/experience to S2's Stock/custom ROM with ours?

One of my classmates has a S2 and I had the stock ROM + SuperCharger V6 @ 1.4GHz on my Arc (arconium 5.6) now and I couldn't see a real difference

Take stock ROM, root it, de-bloat it (uninstall all the system apps you don't use), set up SuperCharger and you're good to go.
Don't be fooled, only CM7 is a real custom ROM.
All the rest fall into the category I described: rooted, bebloated stock ROMs.
Oh! And if you need extra speed and you're willing to sacrifice a few hours of battery life, unlock bootloader and flash a custom kernel.
That should do it.

Agreed. No point messing around with custom ROMs when the stock ROM only needs cleaned up a bit. Don't see the benefit in Supercharger if you have already uninstalled all the crapware as there's nothing running on the CPU to consume the battery power
I have had the LT18i since it came out and it's lightning fast and the battery life is great. Nuff said

Yes I did the same. But still Arconium is a lot faster and lag-free compared to cleaned stock with supercharger and the same overclocking. Really it's the best and fastest rom together with CM (if you like that) and I tried a lot. The only downside is you will get worse battery performance in stand-by (twice as worse; up to 3%/h)when you install a custom overclock kernel even at the same clock speeds. So first try with stock kernel and of you need more speed (like 1.4GHz) go to custom kernels.

IMO Complete custom ROM is MIUI as if now with less bugs. CM has few bugs that has to be fixed. As stated above other are just modified version of stock.
@iridaki : When can we see your T.E.A.M ROM?

arconium + doomkernel is the best of all !
miui is same as cm7 is video camera lags..

Can't choose which ics rom

I'm a pretty average note user.. Haven't rooted or flashed a custom ROM on my note (had a bad experience previously with galaxy s). After waiting patiently for ics.. Only to find out the stock ics ROM sucks and is full of bugs.. I'm a huge fan of CM9 but can't despense without s notes features... Is there any ROM I could flash I've missed? Or should I wait (since note ics source code is out) for a custom ROM with s note features? Can this be achieved on cm9.. I hate touchwiz
Kindly advice.

Since franco snd hardcore have released new kernels lpy is a good daily driver in my opinion. Plenty of good custom roms are out there which make use of these kernels. Fast and stable.

You just have to try some yourself and see what fits you, that's why we have a lot of variety (or try to). We all have different opinions about what we want.
But yeah, with Franco and Speedmod kernels out, it makes the stock ICS roms bearable (well, so I've heard from multiple people as I'm ParanoidAndroid right now ). Also, each ROM will have its Pros and Cons.

Stock ICS (XXLPY) works like a charm on mine. I wiped, rooted and flashed it via Mobile Odin (coming from a rooted GB kernel !). I have removed some of the Samsung bloatware. I have replaced the defaut TW launcher by Nova. I am using my Note intensively since 2 weeks, not a single issue since then. It's fast, stable and the battery usage is more than acceptable. It's the first android stock ROM I have ever encountered with such quality.
That said, I am a big fan of Cyanogen mods (on my LG Optimus 2x) and I will probably switch to CM9 sooner or later but if you want to get 100% of the Notes features, the stock ROM is highly recommended and a pleasure to live with on a daily basis.

The best ROM is the one that works best for you. Try on a few for size and make your own decision.
