I noticed many people who keep asking which rom is the best for battery life, etc....I'm sure that I am not alone in this, when I say that its really annoying. So to solve that problem. I've created this thread :]
I am really sorry for not including many other roms. I only picked on the roms which were at the top 2 pages in the original android dev and the android dev.
Again, I'm really sorry, but as I told another person, you are still more than welcome to talk about it and tell us why you chose that rom
Instructions:
1. Post your rom name.
2. Post which kernel you are using.
3. Why you like it
Optional:
1. What theme you are using.
2. Case
I'll start the thread off:
I'm using CheckROM RevoHD™ V6.
I am using the SpeedMod SGS2 [K2-21 kernel.
I like this rom because of the stability and the battery life. I also really love the kitchen which gives you the endless amount of flexibility to customize your rom the way you want to!
I am using the Ice Cream Sandwich Domination 2.0.3 Godlike!
I am using the SUPERGETS case which I purchased from AmazonUK for £1.70.
PS: Anybody who has a problem with this thread being here can leave right now. I never asked to click on this thread, did I now? (This message is to the people who created the "useless" tags..)
Why don't you have stock rom option?
I'm using stock XXKH3 because it does not restart my phone when on wifi (unlike KL1, KL3, haven't had time and patience to try others). It's stable ant that's what I need.
For kernel, I chose Syah v2.6.12 because of undervolting/underclocking abilities and I run [email protected] UV with battery (2000MAh) lasting for 4 days (and nights) with some light usage.
On top of that I've got GoLauncher for easier customization.

Really sorry about the stock not being on the list. But you can still talk about it. And if you don't mind me saying...That is amazing battery life I get through the day with my stock battery, so I'm not going to complain But 4 days? That is simply amazing!
Have a nice day mate :]
Im running checkrom v6 wit speedmod
But im eagerly watching over the aokp thread as i really want it for the s2. Its awesome on my tab 10.1
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I am using
CheckROM RevoHD™ V6.
Speedmod Kernel K2-21
Shade of Dusk Theme
Samsung Mesh Case
IMO CheckRom is quite simply the best all round ROM for this phone, it is exceptionally smooth and fast with zero bugs (that i have found anyway) and coupled with Speedmod kernel offers superb battery life, plus the Kitchen Pro allows you to customize your ROM the way you want, ive been using CheckRom since it's inception and i cant see me using anything else barring ICS.
You haven't included Rebel ROM in the poll list.
Using Rebel ROM with Siyah Kernel because of its battery life and the SE Launcher.
Hands down has to be Checkrom v6. Using NEAK kernel and both are match made in heaven. Best rom on GB. Regarding ICS. I have to say cm9 will be my next rom once that is stable. But knowing what Leo and GC will do once they get their hands on the official ICS stuff now that will be one hard choice to make..Hopefully the dualboot project might come to effect by then
Ps what Jonny said above i could not have put it any better..Well said mate
cyanogen mod9
default cm9 kernel
because its freaking fast smooth and has incredible battery life

Sorry if I may come off sounding rude or anything. But is dual booting really that useful? I mean sure you can boot into miui and cm9 or cm7. But is it really that important? Or is it just a feature that you would like to have because it sounds and looks cool?
Would really appreciate if you could shed some light on this subject!
Thank you and have a good day.
1. Checkrom V6
2. CF Root LA4
3. Best balance of battery life and performance, sure other kernels can give better results on the battery side but I've got a 2000mah battery and charge nightly. Just everything works well with stock kernel. Will try out RedPill over the weekend.
4. Vert's ICS from Kitchen app,
5. SGP Neo Hybrid EX in black rotated with Sena leather pouch when I'm on my feet all day and need all body protection.

Oh yeah I can't wait for ICS either ^^ But I heard some rumours that Ice cream sandwich for the gs2 will come out March 1st. Is this true or is this just a rumour?
Thanks.
Samsung has comfirmed that it will come out on Q1, and Miui v4 are coming on 29 Feb so people are rumoring that it will come on 1st March.
If ICS will come out I will probably use the original one since I have a big problem with touchwiz, it hurt my eyes
hi
using- krinyo xwla4 slimrom + phenomenal 4.0 extreme.
why because i tried many roms and this gives no fc is smooth fast and the kernel is for battery life. developer support this rom and is very helpful. if u go to his threa u can see that are not 100000 post in wich many user complain about errors or other things. i think u dont need many words just try it and u will be amazed.
and put this rom in poll too.
currently using stock LPH with its own kernel, the only thing i modified is the modem which is LP6
after i tried ICS i couldnt go back to GB so with my current setup im getting awesome battery life, no fcs so im pretty happy with it

Well in a perfect world for me it would be nice to have access to two roms that i enjoy instead of restoring and backing up and reflashing. As you say it is a feature that sounds and looks cool but i am pretty sure we shall not see the light off. Yeah it might be possible and i think few devs have already tried it but it really has not taken off. It was more of a figure of speech i used it mate. Like i said it would of been great to use both ICS checkrom and cm9 as dualboot but that is a if and but...
So like i said best rom for me at the moment is checkrom as you can see from my sig. hope this clarifies a bit more
Checkrom v6
Darkknight 2.5.2
I flash a new firmware every 2nd day but I always go back to Checkrom and Darkknight because Checkrom is amazing with its kitchen etc and all other kernels like siyah, neak or redpill drain my battery in about 6-10 hours while on Darkknight I can use the handy for about 24 hours. Same usage. Maybe those devs could take a look at what Darkknight does right.... But I think it's really frustrating to be excited to flash a new kernel which praises "best battery" and after some hours your phone turns off.....

Hello guys I'm new here,i get this device 2 days ago(coming from HTC Pico development)...I want your opinion for the fastest ROM,with a nice battery life and UI .Kernel too !
Regards !
i don't know about speed but if you want good battery life and stability, you should use original samsung gb roms like jw1 or newer (my choice is jw1 rom with jvt modem and aosp lock). Then use cf-root for rooting and remove bloatwares. A little advice, don't waste your time with ics or jb developments, because you don't seem to looking for only the fastest rom.

I like this: Slim Bean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780071
Test yourself
I've tested almost 10 ROMS, and in my opinion, test yourself.
For me, based on JB are good but battery life very poor.
Based on ICS, the best at the moment. My favorites:
1. Realrom v5: Very good battery, smooth, but not very good for playing.
2. SlimRom: very nice, very smooth, no lags but poor battery.
3. Biohazard 7: very very fast, but.... buggie! Problem of restarting.
4. My favorite: SmoothieICS: fast, vary good battery (2 days using greenpower), and perfect games. Still in beta version.
Hope it help you!

HI,
is anyone using one of these roms?
download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=galaxysmtd
Why are these not listed in the development area here on xda, what is the difference?

Those are the Cyanogenmod ROMs, and they are listed in the dev section, look for threads started by pawtip. CM10.1 pre-release thread is on page one, CM10 thread is on page two at the time of my posting.

Thanks a lot!
I was confused as I couldn't find any references to the cyanogenmod.org site. On the dev page 1 there is the thread
[AOSP][ROM][4.2.1] JellyBean 4.2 PREVIEW (20121205)
wich is AOSP using cyanoges galaxy s tree, but, well, not cynogenmod...
And indeed, on page 2 there is
[NIGHTLY][ROM][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 for Samsung Galaxy S
The download link reveals cyanogenmod.org
Anyway, how is helly bean? Hasn't been mentioned, yet!?!
I am about to install this one, but have never tried it before, though.

Wait a few days - or if we are lucky a few hours - then I think pawitp will create what you (and more) are looking for! :good:
I expect something like this: [NIGHTLY][ROM][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Galaxy S

Helly Bean already is 4.2.1:
hellybean.com/I900042.html
But the majorety goes for CM instead of Helly Bean?
CM10
AOSP 4.2.1 (current)
above rom is awesome what I using.
hellybean and the devil kernel
there are also a 4.2 version which works great
Slim Bean is perfect for customizing..But not for performance i think..
The best combo is Elite's JB builds+latest semaphore kernel so far ..(I think).
But you can try it! I love Slim Bean just for tweaks ... The best one is "high end effects" for me
When you're scrolling not. drawer down,background's dim is channging... Gettin' dark just like Gnexus/Galaxy SIII or other devices which got offical JB !
Also an advice ;
If you wanna long lifetime battery best one is JW8 GB ROM
For me latest CM10 Nightly with Devil Kernel and maybe Lazeroid script works very smooth. No lags in GTA:VC on mid/high settings

Is CM10 better than SlimBean 3.1 in game? (Lazeroid and Semaphore)
for me the fastes is Beast rom 4.2.1 with linaro project + lazeroid 2.1 + semaphore kernel.
That's configuration and it is very smooth.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I prefer the SlimBean ROM 3.1. It is fast, smooth and the battery is also ok
CM 7.2.0 + ntsense cm7 theme + devil kernel = awesome look + battery life.

Hi there, I'm new to the defy+ scene (not the android scene though) and after browsing for a while through the defy android development section I couldn't really tell which are the main-most popular custom roms for the DEFY+ (plus) ICS or JB versions (no GB) also AOKP/AOSP.
I'm looking for a rom that is very stable smooth (not necessarily the most powerful-fastest) and has good battery life.
Could anyone please help me out listing the pro & cons of the most popular custom rom for defy+ (like MS2Ginger, MIUI, CM9, aokp aosp..this list is by no means complete, so in case i'm missing some others, please let me know) thank you very much and sorry for the noobish request :silly:

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. Nowt that thread has been moved, could please answer my question?
This question has been asked so many times :silly:
Just take your time and search this forum. For example look here
I'm using myself this ROM. Different people, different wishes
My advice: download and try some of these ROMs and if you don't like it, try another one
in first place, a topic like this sounds like fishing for me...:cyclops:
mate, try miui v4 by stefan brown.
i've tryed many others roms before, and for sure this is the most stable, fast and trustable one so far.
i've tryed CMX for a while, but it lags a lot and still got random reboots.
Thanks guys for the suggestions, and what about CM9 ICS for defy+?
If you want speed,good battery life and true android experience ,you must try [CM10] Jelly Bean Cannon v8.1.1 .
And if you like MIUI style , there is Moto Ice Gun Edition V2.02 (CM10). But its not updated frequently ..thats the only disappointment
Then there is [ICS] CM9.1 Android 4.0.4 by Epsylon3 ..which is being reported by its users as most stable ics rom ..although i have never used it :silly:
But as far as my experience goes,the most logical thing right now is to stick with CM7.2 because cm9 and cm10 uses a lot of RAM , and no matter how much you tweak it , it will be the same (laggy,low battery life,slow app switching rate).
And the most stable and performance based rom according to me is [CM7] WhiteRabbitNextGen Edition 2.1.1..i myself am using it right now...its best for games which tend to lag a lot in cm9/10...temple run2 plays without any lag...and we can switch app to app instantly...try it and u'll never turn to any other rom

hi ,
I like Omega Rom , fast , stable...good battery life ( depending in your settings)
You must be Kidding
So far by my BEST knowledge (Maybe I know a little or wrong),
there's NOTHING called as MOST STABLE ROM. It is your choice of flavors: PERFORMANCE VS FEATURES VS BATTERY LIFE etc.
WANAM, OMEGA, ECHOE, AOSB and a lot of stable ROMs are out there that you can use as a daily driver. Developers are working hard to give you a customized taste of your choice to the Android.
