Recommended ics roms - Galaxy S II General

Good Day Playas,
I am gifting my old galaxy s2 to a friend of mine and I would like to flash his phone.
Can you tell me which original and which modified rom you would recommend for the following three categories below?
1. Which rom has the least bugs
2. Which rom is fastest
3. which rom has best Best battery life.
Thank you for your kind help.

Are you looking for a Samsung ROM (with Touchwiz, etc), or one based on AOSP?
If you want to give him a ROM with no identified bugs (though FM radio doesn't work) that is also fast and has incredible battery life, then I have to recommend krarvind's Slim ICS.

If you're after a stock Samsung firmware, then I'm afraid I can't help you. Not a clue as to the differences between them.

Is there anyone else that can give me info in the manner i specified?

Best stock rom: WanamLite
Best AOSP: Resurrection Remix, Root Box and Slim.

Well, I'm going to go ahead and answer in the format than you seem to perversely like (since essentially these three criteria are interwoven), but for me it is AOKP all the way since it is so fast:
1. Rootbox
2. Rootbox
3. Rootbox
EDIT: It feels good to be blunt, or undifferentiated. It's not like I normally act this way.

RootBox.. It was just updated to version 1.7. That with dark knight kernel is the best I`ve seen

Best ROM is the one that works best for you. Check a few out for yourself and make your own decision.

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

...bit like saying "all that matters is health, wealth and happiness"
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

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.

Can someone please help find a clean / stable rom

Personally I think that the best ROM he should try is: Simple Beautyone.
And one advantage, as this is ROM for HD2, based on Windows Mobile 6.5, it is even more irrelevant for him than yours...
IMHO, use MIUI as its very clean..
Then flash MyUI EnhancerMOD v3.0

I am using it whole day today, with heavy use of wifi and 3g, battery 15% at 9pm (on single charge), and the speed is awesome.
Hi,
I have two roms I like to use:
Juwe's rom, now v6 version
Doctors rom, also v6 version.
Both rom are based on 2.3.5 JVT including Semaphone kernel 1.8.
Personally I prefer Doctors rom because it is very fast and the battery lasts for me 50-70 hours.

2. I don't use cyanogenmod
3.you could stick with stock or try out one of the lionfish kernels. I recommend you use stock voltage one for now

never tried classic, but mikeG is 100% great rom, i need to try out new kernals myself
Myn's Warm series have always been very smooth and stable for me. I'm not going to give you a link, you can find it yourself in the Dev section.
Energy 2/6/12 rom is awesome... nice and smooth pretty much bug free. can be a bit hefty on the internal storage, but with dt a2sd and dalvik on sd card its not bad.

I second this. Wife wanted an iPhone, I wasn't having that. She got an Evo and complained since day one....until this build of MIUI. She is overjoyed now. I've flashed a lot of stuff on mine and am very happy with the look and feel. Much better than any Sense based ROM I have tried by far and doesn't look like any other Android build without heavy customization. Just runs nicely out out of the box.
Doesn't have 4g but I never turned it on anyway.

[POLL] Vote for your best Custome Rom & Kernel on Your Note II

Hey guys just help the people who are looking for best Rom from many rom at present for our galaxy note 2
So come on guys lets start voting your best rom
My best rom is at present is
Combination of wannam lite + simplicity framework mode :beer::beer:
There are already many threads on this.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
the best is omega
No such thing as the "best" rom. Different roms cater to different needs, the best rom is the one that works best for you.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
The one with the highest number of views and posts. Its the one i would rely on. Which as it turns out in both S3 and Note 2 forum is the Omega roms. I've been using them for sometime now and nothing to complain about so far. But yea some of the guys here are right, not everything is available in one ROM. Its best that you read what's included in that ROM and match it with what you require.
Sent from the Rabbit Hole
it would be better if u open the thread with poll... best is rooted stock just for now for me
Omega v10
Re: [POLL] Vote for your best Custome Rom on Your Note 2

Current favourite:
Wanamlite
Simply because it all works, I want to keep stock features and have as reliable a rom as possible. I'm on stock kernel that comes with the rom.
I've tried:
Hyperdroid Pegasus
Omegarom
Monxdified
Re: [POLL] Vote for your best Custome Rom on Your Note 2
CRASH rom v4.4 is best for now..... As well as phoenix rom
Re: [POLL] Vote for your best Custome Rom on Your Note 2
Phoenix rom
Fast & stable & all works like charm the best so far
Tried:
Ommega
Wannam
Stock
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'm currently using ARHD + simplicity framework mode, I like the (kinda) stock experience without getting the rom to change that much, less issues to be found.
Re: [POLL] Vote for your best Custome Rom on Your Note 2
I use Phoenix rom. No complaints, I've been using it over 3 weeks now .
kingdroid v4 for ever
Crash V4.4 + N.E.A.K kernel
Rocking on my note2
These ROMs are the best ones.
(Just a list in case it helps.)
Chrash Rom 4.5 Stock Kernel is my favorite yesterday i got over 7 h display on the device was runnig for 17 h :good:
An actual poll would be nice so we can clearly see what is the most popular (not that popularity means much in terms of quality)
Otherwise its gonna be pretty hard to see what peoples favorite are if this thread gets much longer.
Or is the OP going to go through each post and make a little list of whats favourite? If you do, you prob have too much time on your hands lol
Anyway Im all about Android Revolution with Stock Kernel.......its the business (oh and pls close this thread as its pointless and a waste of space )

1. If you want a rom with All In One S5 N3 S4 N2 apps and various tweaks then Tamirda's PhoeniX V18.5/18.8 is best option...you will not maiss anything there
2. If you want Stock N3+N2 then Dr Ketans rom is best
3. If you want N2+S5 only then MrLuong' s rom is best and themed (it has great battery life because of lite ver. and black theme)
4. If you want other than this then try DN3 or Phantom
I am CURRENTLY using PhoeniX and its greatest!

Cyanogen Mod is definitely not pure android. There are many many additional features not present in AOSP. Also it has a custom kernel which sets it apart even more. Nice try
Dr.Ketan ROM V7 is my 3rd rom.. a bit buggy but still a best rom from all rom i have tried.. now downloading the Dr.Ketan Custom control ROM V7.1..
Dr Ketan got V7.1 now

As someone metioned here. All depends on whta you want in your phone. All ROMs here are great and I have tested few of them. For me I look for the lightest RAM consuming ROM with Aircommand . I can say Phantom and X-Tream are the best for what I want.
Phantom rom have note 3 apps like snote etc? How about stability?

This type of question/topic is not allowed. There is no such thing as best or most stable.
Try the roms and find out what is best/most stable for you.
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.
