Hey guys, what would your perfect rom contain, ie: what apps should be included, what kind of launcher, what version of android should it be based on, aosp or aokp which kernel, custom or stock boot animation. All that kind of stuff

Should be based on CM9, and AROMA installer would do the rest.
But if you want my opinion, about to kernels: Semaphore, MNICS or Devil are great, so it is up to you. Modem could be JVU or ZSJPG (or one of the ported from Nexus).
A nice custom Bootanimation.
Few apps, only the strictly necessary.
Nova launcher (I didn´t try Apex).

Ics, AOSP for speed and stability, with a few aokp and cm9 cherry picks. Something in between slim and ICS333. Libwebcore.so from 4.0.3. Apex since nova doesn't support call notifications, but that's no big deal. Kernel pick would actually be midnight with didle (you didn't say that the picks should exist in reality)
And these features (Site is down for me, so use this link) : http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...manufacturer-skins-to-cm9-compatible-devices/

Just like king23adrianc's CM7 Kang thread, here's one for CM9 Kangs.
Kangs are unofficial Cyanogen builds built by members of the community. They're not supported by the CM team at all, and in many cases aren't supported by the person who cooked the kang.
Kangs can contain features (cherry picks) that haven't been committed into the official nightlies, so you get some pretty cool cutting-edge features that aren't in the official rom. Sometimes these features get built-in to the official CM roms, sometimes they don't.
If you're not familiar with flashing roms, this probably isn't the place for you. Read up on it a bit, make yourself familiar with what you're doing and ALWAYS make a backup of your rom, in case something goes wrong.
For the latest kangs, start at the end of the thread.
To start, here's a link to the euroskank kangs for CM9:
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/?id=crespo
Sweet! Lets get it started..
Here's a CM9 (alpha) kang I just compiled @ 6pm PST 11/29/11.

Cherry pick version: Download (deleted)
-Dialer Landscape Mode
-Preferences: initial Preferences Activity, Provider and XML

If you click on the actual super user app it will force close until you remove it and download the one from the market. You can use root apps if you dont want to do all that but you can't click the super user app itself.

Can you guys tell me how is this rom?
I use koushik cm9 11.
Wifi? 3g/2g? mms? calendar sync? data usage? thetering? google talk video?
What else...
Is it smooth? What about cherry picks?
Whats the difference?
Why there is nothing in nexus s android dev forum? (many persons tell this rom is great)
What about the UI? Stock ICS? Launcher? Stock?
Sorry for asking u so many questions but I couldnt find anything
Thanx
what i've noticed about the euroskank builds so far:
CM power button options (screenshot, reboot recovery, ect).
Data usage seems broken, at least with the stock kernel. edit: kernel related, flashed different one and fixed.
I use the latest, seemingly unrleased gapps from http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111128.zip
I delete the Maps.apk from the gapps zip before flashing so I can install latest from market (or else you will be stuck with old version and wont be able to upgrade).
edit: rename or delete superuser.apk in /system/app/ and download from market. the one included in the rom forcecloses. No reboots necessary.

So what does it mean for users.
Does it mean that ROMs like CM9 will start supporting everything like S-Pen, FM radio etc.,?
Or does it mean we will see slightly modified versions of stock roms. For example touchwiz removed, but swype there.

You are going to see a lot of different Roms once we have several safe custom kerenels.
CM9 will always remain lean and Samsung-free, but there'll be lots of CM9-based hybrid Roms catering for everybody's needs. Also, a lot of TW-based Roms.
I suspect that our Dev will soon start to look like SGS2 one:

As suspected, the N7000 ICS kernel is far from different from any i9100 iCS kernels !!!
I made comparison from all i91000 ICS kernels, and there were only slight diffs from "European" (called Open source : GT-I9100_ICS and GT-I9100P_ICS), with Korean Update 3 and Update 4.
The major changes came from i9100 Korean ICS update 5 !!!
This first N7000 ICS kernel is completely different from any previously quoted i9100 ICS kernels, including Korean ICS update 5 !!!

So does this mean this source is really old or maybe really new?
I hope kernel devs sees this and take into account: best feature of a kernel will be dual-boot mode, like siyah's kernel for SGS2 :X

Try Alliance Rom
Whiskeyjack4855 said:
Try Alliance Rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Agree... Try Alliance, The Rom look like AOSP but feature touchwiz
its perfect for me.. The OTA's mod does not make me bored with this ROM
what eyebee did with the leaks was stupendous, i mean there was a huge energy vortex created in the forum, whew !
that kind of energy is rarely even created by stock sammy releases...i like those too...rooting with Philz kernel and a few mods Dr Ketan style
mini tab v3 sounds promising....
i collected rr v 12 ics after many spoke highly of it, i was scared the links would go down .....
Trying Alliance Rom beta 1 (4.1.2 LS7 based)
Let´s see if I like it... Let´s see if it will be as good as RR...
When I heard the news yesterday about eybee leaving and that there would be no RRv3 I was gutted, I ended up flashing TMT 5.0 XXLS7 JB.... I must say, Its excellent and so is the Dev, I used his TW / MIUI version a while back and there was a lot of support and regular fixes / updates.
So, Thats definitely one to look out for, That being said, Now RRv3 is out... Im gonna have to flash it
Best way is to spend some time testing them all, Have a good read of the thread(s) and see whats what. There will be other fantastic ROMs out there.
And whats to say when the dust has settled in a few days / weeks, that eybee wont come back and continue development ??
Never say never guys.
I know why eyebee left. Its because all the tons of thanks and appreciation eyebee received from all the users. Eyebee wanted to retire at his prime like what most celebs and sportsmen do but i think eyebee is the type of person who will always create better things. I dont think its his prime. I wanted him to make his own launcher a distinct one flashable yo even the rooted stock rom. He could have changed the way android is used. But he left. The other possible reason could be the note 2 or the lg nexus . I think eyebee got his hands on the new device or maybe google drained the talent from our community making him their official member.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for all your helps !
I will try them !!
Alliance ROM ist pretty sweet for me !
Good Battery, very smooth, OTA Updates.
I Think i stay on Alliance until the next major release / real leak from Samsung
I choose aliance Rom. For now I'm thinking it might just be at least as good as RR.
About eybee... I woudn't , be suprised if suddenly some new forum member would join us and be awesome dev
Everytime i flash new release stock rom i will get bored in 2 days. I always revert back to paranoid cm10. I love the mixture between tablet style, multi dpi, and cobalt theme.

Coming from RR, I've tried all the major ROM's based on LS7 leak... And the one that I prefer is Ultimate N7000 XXLS7 JellyBean 4.1.2 v4.
Trying Alliance Rom beta 1 (4.1.2 LS7 based) - Result:
tested Alliance Rom for more than a week. Not so smooth. Slow Split screen multitasking (already expected that). Battery problems: partial wakelocks with audio_out2, mediaservice and map apps.
Will switch to rocketRom JB v3 and keep searching.

Hi everybody.
There are five main CM11 (CyanogenMod 11) roms for the Samsung Galaxy S2:
Carbon Rom (Myself5)
CyanFox (Christiancs1969)
Wayland_ACE's ROM (Wayland_ACE)
Pound ROM (lion0738)
infected_'s ROM (infected_)
This thread is to talk about own experiences with this roms.
What's OK and/or what's wrong. What recommend you and why.
Regards.
P.S:
The poll is outdated. I considered remove it, but I can't do it. I also considered move the thread to Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
If anyone think this thread causes conflicts, be free to report it to moderators. I apologize. :angel:
I tried pound rom it has many features including halo but now im on slimkat due to working art, carbon rom also have a working art and I think it has cm11 as base rom.

You're right. I changed it.
Thanks. :good:
I don't undestand one thing, infected ROM and Wayland_ACE ROM, both are based on Cyanogenmod 11 ( AOSP ) right? So why is Infected' running ART for about 2 weeks and Wayland_Ace not?
And another thing, Infected ROM is based on Cyanogenmod 11, so why Cyanogenmoed did not add CM11 to Nightly downloads (I mean they are still working on 10.2 but no one is interested in 4.3.1 anymore, because there is 4.4.2 out there, In my opinion is a waste of time and energy)
I will kindly thank you for your answer.

I've been using Cyan-Fox for about a week now. Good battery life and features. Really like it so far.
I've been using Pound rom since it was out and updated with every new version, it's really stable and has nice features. I had a battery drain issue at first but then realized mediascannerservice wakelock was the problem... So I just blocked it with the wakelock blocker setting and Voila! I'm also very tempted by Slim kat, the JB slim roms are great and the fastest I tried before going to Pound rom.
Just wondering if anyone here can tell me if any of the above roms support multi-user in the 'settings' screen. I have kids and I'm really looking to pseudo-corner off my phone (I know the limitations). I'm having real trouble with some of the roms.. and wondering if anyone else has tried/successfully got it working?

For certain multiuser will NEVER make it into the standard CM tree for non-tablet devices now that they are a for-profit.

and THANK YOU for doing so! Leave the theming to the individual, keep it light and stock, and you'll have yourself a winner for sure! All the mods in the world don't mean crap if it keeps randomly rebooting, FC'ing apps without any explanation, and getting bogged down for no reason....

Let me ask, is there a demand for the stock over the themed? Because, when I build my roms, I run my stock version, and build the themed for the people...so if there is a demand, I sure would go that route....

Honestly after seeing how well Goldeneye and SHOstock have gone over here....stock, tweaked is where it's at now days. I know Venom makes his builds but most like the stock look and will use aroma type theme somewhere else. I know themes and png hunting was a pain for me when I made mine. Just wasn't worth it ha

I've seen some demand and even wondered why stock bases weren't being made. Stock base means you can focus on debugging the ROM and not themes and if you're like me you use xposed and other things to customize everything anyways. If anything you could still make the themed files a flashable add on or something.

Don't let me dictate what should or shouldn't be done, everything I'm suggesting are just my personal opinions, but I think developers bases are the best things about TouchWiz, and use those over all the crazy themed / modded ROMs any day! When you do too much to a ROM, there's always going to be problems, and the number of posts on a ROM thread gets to be so long not with people stopping by to say "thanks," but to say "this is broken, why and what do I need to do to fix it?" Again, just my two pennies!
Thank you everyone, I have now the information I need, Vision is going strictly stock. I will get bombed at first, but, it will die down, and it makes for a more stable, clean, crisp, and faster rom. So, let me start with this 4.4 KitKat....it is going to be pure stock here in a few....

I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but it really doesn't matter what people think, only what they do, and if you drop this new 4.4.2 leak as a stock base, I'll be the first one to support it! Good luck, looking forward to it!
Thanks a lot for your answers, I can't believe my Samsung gs4 is the only android device of all of them without the latest android version, so much for the next big thing is here , lol

With the xposed framework and modules, no need for you to do theming. I've noticed that the i9505 builds come out to fast, I don't know how you could keep updating so often. I'm definitely looking forward to TW.
