Best custom rom?

Hey guys, what is the best?
The original galaxy s phone had darkyy rom etc.
Also, what about kernels - the original had supercurios vs hardcores, what about the s2?
Im unsure about what is actually available for the galaxy s2, as i cant seem to find similar developers :/
A little help would be appreciated.

1. Everyone has a different opinion, and thankfully we already have many options to choose from.
2. Too early to tell but the dev work so far has been really amazing. Partly due to Samsung and their brilliant approach to custom Roms (basically encouraging it) and our wonderful Rom chefs who (with the help of many others) are doing an incredible job.
Just start going down the list and try them one at a time... some (if not most) you won't even have to wipe your phone to try.

This lol
I remembered when I first got my tab (in short, I traded a laptop, Xbox 360, and games used for a brand new SGT). First thing I did was rooted it via some app. Then I proceeded to install busybox for some reason, then thought "meh I feel like going back to stock" so I just uninstalled busybox (ignoring whatever message it said about not uninstalling it).
Tab didn't reboot, then I panicked and tried flashing something with Odin (not sure what it was, but I ended up trying to fill all the boxes in Odin with some files and then flashing). It failed
Eventually, I then just gave up trying to keep stock and went with Overcome
So I'm pretty lucky to still have my tab lol...
Nowadays, I find it easy to try out different ROM's (I always just restock according to Overcome's GB guide, then proceed to flash a custom ROM and Kernel)
I'd recommend spending some time on Froyo stock for a bit, then eventually trying to update to either stock Gingerbread, or another stable Gingerbread ROM (such as Overcome or Hyperdroid). Then do a bit of research and then try to go to ICS.
Just be careful on what your flashing, always double-check things, and check out people's feedback

I believe the roger's tab uses the GT-P1000 kernel but I'm not sure...do a quick search or ask the guys here.
Oh and btw, HumberOS build is quite outdated compared to the releases from Slim's build which can be found here. This ROM .zip already comes with kernel so it should work just fine on your tab I guess? And don't forget to flash gapps after ROM, but I guess that's pretty obvious judging from the other devices you messed with lol

I also bricked my Tab a few times when I started flashing ROMs on it not too bad tho since it's pretty much impossible to hardbrick the tab afaik, I never did and I flashed some pretty dumb stuff on it lol just keep a GB Stock ROM in your pc to flash with Odin/Heimdall and reflash it whenever you softbrick your tab that's what I used to do that or Overcome ROM.

Welcome!
Just a quick note on flashing the tab. As you already noticed, you should get on Gingerbread bootloaders first. The rest is up to you, all current ROMs for our Tab can be flashed on top of them. Seeing you got over the softbrick with Overcome, you should be home free already.
PS: also make sure your tab is charged at more than 10% before you start flashing or you might not be able to get into recovery or download mode. It may look like a softbrick, but you just need to let it charge...
Peace and happy flashing!

On a technical/developer's perspective, the original galaxy tab isn't outdated

VZW Galaxy Tab i815 Custom Rom?

Hey, Guys excuse me if it seems like I haven't read enough, but I was wondering has any of the Devs created a custom Rom for the Verizon tab 7.7? If so could you post some links in this thread. Thanks

Not yet. Very little is going on with our tablet. You CAN root it easily. I also installed Tegra Overclock app from market. Other than that...zilch. Its not like the last 7" VZW Tablet that we could have lots of ROMS for.

Yep, I think it may have been the price point combined with the contract element, that has kept the Devs from purchaseing one or being willing to play around with it. Maybe once there is stock restore firmware available, we will start seeing something. Sadly, by that time we will have ics and may not need a custom Rom at all.

There is no firmware for our device available yet, that's why we done have a custom Rom yet.

locerra has been working on a CM9 port, it's posted in this forum, although it's still in it's early stages (no data or wifi for the 815)

Id like to just seeif i could flash it, then i would go right back.

[DT] CM11 roms opinions: Carbon, CyanFox, infected_'s, Pound and Wayland_ACE's

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.

I dont think thats a good idea to make a thread like this especialy title"a vs b vs c vs d" this thread is more likely to be whats the best 4.4 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.

Best rom? Dude best rom or awesome rom threads are not allowed in xda.. I don't know the mods are still silent... Everybody's taste is different... More over all the roms u comparing are completely different.. Though all cm11

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.

Add CarbonROM by myself5 to the list

I'm on Wayland_ACE's CM11 and all of my issues are with 4.4 at large, not the ROM in particular barring one: is anyone else having issues with flac playback? Apollo & CM11 are choking on files that Apollo & CM10.2 had no problems with.
I'd be curious to hear back from anyone on any of the other CM11 base roms in particular.

try slimkat sabermod by fJ under settings -> advance option -> device -> screen

I've had It installed using cm based ROMs. AFAIK cm12 can be flashed on the G. So chances are xposed can be too.

That's right, something baked deep into touchwiz just does not like xposed one bit, you're heading for bootloops if you attempt to install it, I know i've tried.
