dude to get this actually work.
post a link to this thread in your rom page, i'm sure many will give attention then

That's not really fair. :L I'm British and I have a Galaxy 3 and so do many other people in non-third world countrys.

Anyway, if we don't port cyanogen mod, nobody will do it. We'd actually have to port it ourselves like all other phone comunitys did. There is a page somewhere on how to port it, where to start and all that stuff. A port request there is worth nothing.

I meant generally, not exclusively. You probably have the respin of SG3 aka GT-i5801 Apollo for Orange network. GB is not the "Wild West" I was referring to (although it's not "The third world" either). But this is generally the case, and this is most probably the reason there is no CM for SG3.
I have a really good idea> Why don't we join our forces and make a custom rom. All brilliant engineering is wasted on customizing those stock ROMs, and there are too many just for one phone. Why don't Kyrillos, Apocalypse, Greenmod and Lestatious merge into one developing team, why don't we get Gingerbread source and compile it for Galaxy 3? Merge all those themes together, and make a professionally sound, clean and solid ROM?
I'm avoiding these so called custom ROMs just because they are overbloated with unreliable tweaks, sure they work faster, but I need my phone to be reliable and functional, not to post Quadrant benchmarks all over the net.
Just my 2 cents...

I'm using a custom ROM and it is fully functoinal,about this idea i think it will very hard to reach the "light" even the official cyanogaenmod's rom are not that stable and some bugs correct me if i'm wrong

Working togheter is not as easy as you think!
Armv team has done a rom after a month that is far more unstable than a lestatious, an indroid or a kyrillos, that are put togheter by one single individual! Probably with time things can be done, but mixing up individuals is not the way to go...
If our SGS3 developers wanna team up by themselves they will, as they've done already.
One more thing, 90% of non-beta ROM releases are very stable and reccomended for daily use, with near-to-zero bugs (remember samsung firmwares are full of bugs as well!!), not just for "post quadrant scores" as you're telling.

mr IT "manager"..a nokia phone might be ur appropriate choice ...Coz you are missing out on the android experience by not trying out custom romsss.......

clarkkov said:
Why the quotes? That is actually my title...oh I get it, you are being sarcastic, good for you
I have tried custom ROM on my colleague's SG3, he is running Kyrillos 3.0 I believe. While I'm still on my first battery charge (80%), he already had to recharge his battery and is now on about 60% and he has small FC issues with some apps that run flawlessly on my hone.
No need for hostility, I'm just debating and using valid arguments in this debate, I thought that's what the forums are for. If I'm wrong or misinformed, I would like to hear it. I appreciate the hard work of Android developers and naturally, want even more. Custom ROMs are great, but lack that final touch I'm talking about.
BTW, SGS got it's official Gingerbread update in Europe! Maybe someone knows how to port it to SG3?

The reason for the battery problems may be because of extra tasks he's running.. it's not just the ROM's fault. On my Kyrillos 3.0 I started to have battery problems, but I downloaded the Battery Calibration app which fixed any battery burning issues
I would say the complete opposite to you when you say that they "lack the final touch". A stock firmware is just so... basic? Custom ROM's have everything the stock firmware's have, and more. I have had NO problems at all with Kyrillos 3.0, that's why I havn't bothered to update to any later versions. Everything runs perfectly for this amazingly cheap phone.

I haven't tried the XWJPD stock but, as i'm reading on this very forum there are threads names "Multiple problems after official froyo update", nothing is perfect in this world ;-) nonetheless Samsung devs are!
Scouting the dev forum you will find a TON of fixes that have no drawbacks and are just PROs against the stock ROM (examples: sd card speed fix, audio fix published today, JIT enabled).
Yeah, surely, those "fixes" are not needed to USE the phone, but if you don't wanna optimize your phone why are you on XDA at all?
Anyway i'm not meant to be attacking you, it's just.. i don't understand your point of view; regarding ROMS, with time they will become better and better, so it's just about patience, Samsung has hundred of developers and imho their work is just above decent!

Not all custom roms are unstable. You can check which ones have overbloated tweaks and which dont and choose for yourself. I dont know about kyrillos 3.0, but indroid 3.0 no lagfix version worked great for me, and with apocalypse 1.3beta I haven't had stability problems (some bugs, but nothing major and no stability bugs) on a proper flash

You should really understand a bit more of what each team has done and is doing and how they go about it. Yeah, the individuals did great stuff, but you have to realize that they also combined a lot of other peoples work into their roms and had help (not trying to reduce earned props from the rom makers). Just take a look at their credits/changelog pages.

Even if I think this kind of posts are not allowed I like to answer to your question.
Take a look at Dutty´s LEGACY Ship ROM. It is smooth, stable and fast with less battery draining. As it follows the stock ROM philosophy it includes only the basic applications without a great variety of ringtones etc or cosmetic customizations. So the amount of used Storage is less compared to other ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610634

You should also have a look on Artemis ROM.
After installation you will have about 160MB free memory.

...and without taking anything away from any of the 'chefs'; NRGZ28 offers a nice variety of ROMs, from the simple & sparse to the densely customized. Essentially, a number of choices with something for (almost) everyone. All on this site, but very clearly presented here... http://www.energyroms.com/www/

These are the largest memories ever, but they don't have an FM Radio, which you could extract from any ROM by "Total Commander"
6.5.5 http://www.multiupload.com/01QLE9DH1Z Lower Start
6.5 http://www.multiupload.com/9LH03QQYAS Upper Start very good one

LOL
Here you can easily see why these kind of threads are forbitten. Every Answer is different.
What is the real answer to your question? Take a look at the threads of the offered ROMs. Each of it is good. Chose some of them and test them by flashing them. You will find your ROM like each of us who answered might have found his favorite ROM.

Please, help me. Which of the forum rules forbids such posts/threads?
The part about flaming? I don't think so.
There was a clear question: which available ROM provides most storage capabilities?

Hi Uli,
no, it´s not the rule about flaming. But I must admit that I don´t know the exact origin of that rule. But I can report about many threads asking which ROM is the best, the fastets, the one which is most stable and so on.
Every thread of this kind resulted in the same: every supporter announced his favorite ROM as the best. The longer the thread was open the more these poster flamed each other. That was the reason why all of these threads I know were closed by a mod with the comment to make his own picture of the provided ROMs.
As you can see in this short thread there are several different answers because everyone has different priorities. So the information inside these threads is close to zero.
Did you see the right answer of the authors question in this ROM? Maybe not ;-)
Have a nice evening
Cheers

@Matthes,
With all due respect, and not to take issue (but just a few comments)... I understand the spirit and sensibility of your POV, and I'm in general agreement with it (not that, That means anything), but I must point out a few subtleties. Like most/all here, my personal choice of custom ROM was arrived at through trial and testing. That's the best way as (obviously) there are no absolute 'bests'... one size does not fit all.
My answer above, wasn't necessarily my favorite. I'm not a cheering section. The OP asked for a specific similarity to a certain ROM to be used as a replacement. I opined a certain chef had multiple offerings from which to chose, and among them, felt the OP might find his answer. --Without taking anything away from any other Chef. Everything I've tried from multiple sources, has been pretty much excellent. Different but all well-done nonetheless. There's a difference between a cut finger and a cut throat and no cut at all. There were no favorites implied in my answer.
Rob

@RobE & @Matthes42
I didnt know it was against the rules to post this sort of question otherwise I wouldnt have posted it. I am genuinely looking for a ROM upgrade its been months and im itching to flash my HD2
As you stated it down to personal preferences and I'm looking for something specific so I just needed someone to point me in the right direction.
As I said all suggestion are welcomed. so far flashed two and it 2-0. so im going to try other suggestion,
If I've upset anyone with this thread, my apologies, it was not my intention

There are no best rom, what's be best for your cannot be best for me and viceversa.
That is why we don't allow these kind of threads, becasue they become redundant.
On that note, thread closed.

ROM Discussion & Suggestions HERE!

Hello Galaxy Peeps!
I am new here on this forum, this is my first post. I have been reading a lot on this site the last couple of weeks, and have found plenty of useful and essential information for my new baby! You guys (devs and members) ROCK!
On to the subject, which is the reason why I registered so that I could start the thread.
Here is where I currently stand:
SGS2 from BELL Mobility in Montreal Canada.
**Stock ROM is UGKG2. (I am aware that this matters very little)
**GINGERBREAD 2.3.3 out of the box.
I have already experienced a little bit with upgrading the firmware via Odin to a more recent official samsung build:
RUNNING ON:
XXKH3 ROM (stock)
GINGERBREAD 2.3.4
Rooted with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4
Launcher: SPB Shell 3D (absolutely beautiful and buttery smooth!! totally worth the $15... simply the best, no doubts in my mind.)
I have never used CWM to flash an update, only used it for backing up and restoring so far. I do feel very comfortable diving in though with all that I have read here so far, and deem myself ready to try some Custom ROMS. They sound great!
The only thing holding me back is that I do not want to flash endlessly to find out which ROM is the best for me. I read up all the threads about the different ROMS, however I find it very difficult to find comparisons between them and picking the right one.
So basically I would like to start this discussion and have you guys tell us what you picked for yourself, and most importantly why you like your choice. The more details the better!
This I think would be a great help for people like me and in my situation, I know it will for sure help me tremendously.
Thanks guys, and keep informing the world about SGS2. Best device out there by far, all platforms mixed in...
Raz

Post number ten asking yet again whats the best rom????

So you don't think that this question/invitation for discussion hasn't been asked a gazillion times already? In all the reading you say that you've done, you haven't come across other noobs posting the same things? No? Don't believe you; you clearly haven't read enough.
My advice? Don't use your 1st ever posts like this. Use them constructively. Get a shortlist of ROMs that you feel might be appropriate for your needs and if you have questions, search the relevant ROM thread. If you can't find a suitable answer, then post your question.
In my most humble opinion, this will greatly enhance your XDA experience as you won't get upset when people continuously tell you to search or flame you for being a noob. Some XDA users can be very intolerant.
In all honesty though, unless you're looking to switch to MIUI or Cyanogen, there isn't an enormous difference between the ROMs on offer. Mainly the themes and tweaks that the chef chooses to apply, but the base ROMs are essentially very similar.
I started this post with the intention of shouting at you for being imbecilic. As I wrote though, I realised that you were fairly literate and seemingly bright so I thought I'd go easy on you instead. I'm normally not this nice.

How's everyone doing?
Thanks for the replies guy, although not entirely what I was looking for... I guess to be expected with such a noob question after all I do admit to being guilty of being a noob when it come to Android and SGS, I just got my device not so long ago, coming from Samsung Omnia (WM) for a few years. Understand guys, I am not looking to get flamed here, just for a bit of advise coming from your experiences. I do understand where you guys stand, and I am sorry if I offended anyone... it was never my goal.
So far I am LOVING my new Droid!! I may not know so much when it comes to custom ROMS, but I am learning steadily when reading the posts on this site - @Major_Sarcasm yes I do read... I appreciated still the clarity and respectfulness of you reply -.
Yesterday I ended up flashing the LeoMar75 Revolution Rom and I like it up to now. It is great and is user friendly when it comes to customizations since you can use the Revolution kitchen app to download and install MOD packages. Awesome for a noob like me! I didn't even wait for any replies because I was too excited and wanted to flash ASAP on my time off, since I had already done a lot of browsing already at work. For now I think I made the right pick, and will not try to flash a different ROM, unless someone here tells me I messed up with my choice.
Finally I know many posts have been put up already for which is the best ROM out there, but if you "read" carefully my post was not entirely about that... in fact not at all!!! I stated the fact that I didn't want to try all the available ROMS out there to make a pick (too much work too little time)... that is one thing. I never anywhere in there asked what is the best ROM to use. What I was really asking is for you guys to share which you are currently using, and the reason why you like it (features, performance, etc...) or reasons why you may not like it and may want to switch back to something else. It was intended more as a discussion than a question. As you can see I already made my choice!
Again I hope I am not offending anyone, I just want to make sure I was thoroughly understood here
Hope you guys are having a great time with your babies, I sure am!
Cheers,
Raz...

Sounds good.

I think this would be a great thread if the flaming were to be non-existent.
I personally have been using Litening rom all the while, 5.0 first then 6.1 now. Satisfied with it, but I'm someone who gets bored easily so I am thinking of switching to something else. I'm also really sick of the battery life my phone offers, hopefully flashing a different rom might improve it. (I doubt so though, lol)
My main concern now is wiping - I hear its recommended to do a full wipe before flashing to other roms. So I have to do a full backup with CWM and Titanium Backup?
Deciding between LeoMar, Cognition and CyanogenMod...

Well guess what? No one has enough time to try them all out, that's why 3 of these threads pop up every day from people like you.

THREAD CONTENT
My motive
My goals
Introduction child-boards
Child boards under my recommendation
My Motive
However XDA is a wonderful community there is still some room for improvement. XDA is great, as so are 'most' of the people around here, but however it's greatness there is still
one thing that does sometimes annoy me, is its organisation..
Let's be honest some people don't know where they should start their thread of where to find stuff, on the other hand most people who do have those problems are mostly plain stupid or are to lazy to search.
Yet I believe, that a little re-organisation will be able to address this matter and makes our lives, as the lives of users, mods or developers a little easier.
Lucky for you guys, I am not the guy that just complains, without constructing or achieving a potential solution.
I already put some hard work in it and I am fully prepared to do even more if necessarily , but before you judge me, please read and see see what I had in mind.
My Goals
Optimizing your User Experience
Creating new Levels of User Potential
Simplifying current structures and its organisations
Smoother, Faster, Clearer and Better
Introducing child-boards
I know it looks plain simple and you can believe I barely made any changes. BUT THAT IS THE KEY! That is my GOAL, keeping things as slim as possible. Still a child board can achieve an immense difference just only in your experience.
Imagine this simple user interface: Where you'll be able find to find a sub-board with ONLY ROM Releases or just everything related to it, so as for kernels.
Still I am perfectly aware that the ANDROID development goes beyond, ROM's and Kernels, YET these 2 elements in my opinion the main reason why people go to XDA, or they create kernels and ROM's or they want to flash them.
~~~ Organisational Problems ~~~​
No offense but isn't this a little weird, that so many people voted, where they'd best place their own thread?
Or is still someone able to tell, where I should fit this topic? ​
Child boards under my recommendation:
Separated Product Model Boards:
Even though people might find it lame, just know flashing the wrong firmware onto your phone, can brick your device,
accidents easily occur and even I noticed I accidently clicked onto the G development without even noticing it after 5 min and however the difference might look minor to some of you.
Why would you put 2 devices in the same area, knowing they require different systems, firmware and work on different hardware, meaning even though they are in the same range, THEY STILL DEFER
General Talk:
News​This community has a lot of potential users, that are motivated and willing to uncover the latest and hottest news for their phone or their device and I am fully aware that we do have XDA Tv.
But still I strongly believe this could be a very very useful sub-forum. Moderators or Forum Staff can sticky their posts to announce new rules or competitions
and only selected members will be able to post news concerning their galaxy s2 or their device, to decrease chances of any spam topics.
So why would we miss out on this potential, why wouldn't we publish a story that for example, AGPS, allows you to get a faster GPS lock or people invented a new script to conserve 50% more battery than usual,
does it really harm anyone, that one story wouldn't be that interesting, as this place could offer you, a pool of different stories that might catch your interest.
Nobody is forced to publish something, neither are you to read, you'll only have the Galaxy S2 knowledge library right at your disposal.
Android Developent:
Seperated ROM & Kernel Board​Wouldn't it be way easier to find all your ROM releases in one place and ONLY them?
Would we even need updated indexes anymore, when this would all be clear and accessible in one single location,
would we even be bothered to posts polls as where should I put this thread as you might have already seen above?
Wouldn't this make your user experience more simpler finding in two clicks whatever you'd like?
I'd certainly vow for this!
ROM & Kernels Separated, everything else, in the android development thread (Applications, scripts, Tweaks, ...
Interactive Search Functions

Speaking of hardware, the only meh so far are the volume-/powerbuttons. They appear quite cheap and wobbly. Stock-SW is sth you have to get used to. Or simply give a custom-rom a try.

Mine arrived and the buttons are solid enough. Could be better (aluminium) but nothing to put me off and certainly better than the N7100/N7102 I am leaving behind, which have a silly amount of creaks and soft areas considering their price.
Most reviews have been on the mark now I've actually got the device. Areas of improvement for sure but initial impressions are it's a really fine effort considering the size and experience of the competition. Starting out with stock (official) ROM before going to Betas and AOSP/AOKP to see how each fare. I quite like the stock interface - a bit of a change from traditional dark Android and it doesn't lag like TouchWiz
Also, the text difficult to read as noted in the review is fixed - screen of notification pull-down in current official stock ROM (0514).

Mine arrived and the buttons are solid enough. Could be better (aluminium) but nothing to put me off and certainly better than the N7100/N7102 I am leaving behind, which have a silly amount of creaks and soft areas considering their price.
Most reviews have been on the mark now I've actually got the device.

Thanks for the heads up! Oppo's rep has also contacted letting me know that it has been fixed some time ago (shame on me!). Anyway, I've updated my review.

I guess it's a good way for people interested to see how Oppo progresses the software with user feedback.

Thanks for that fantatstic review.
A very interesting point in the review is this sentence: "Want a Google Edition device? This comes pretty darn close!"
I follow all the cm/aokp/pac/pa threads but as far as ive seen, there are troubles with the camera, overall stability and performance. Why are there no stable or almost stable roms out if this device is every developers dream?

CM10.1

cm10.1 WORKS.
Camera as well. It is far more stable than stock. Decent battery life.

Yeah, it works, but its far away from stable and the camera still has its bugs. Im not complaining, dont get me wrong, i just want to know why the find 5 is always mentioned when people search for a dev friendly aosp device.
Also there are so few people around in this forum that i fear that the dev`s loose their interest in this device, before theres a stable release of an aosp rom.

Time. The device has only been out a few months, and honestly, both xplodwild and I have been pretty busy with non-CM stuff lately.
Our fault, not Oppo's. Oppo has been, without a doubt, a pleasure to work with. They even sent me a SECOND device (with the serial console hardware populated along with two serial cables) to help with the kernel rebase. Unfortunately after making massive progress on it two weekends ago, I haven't had time to touch CM at all on any device since then.

I wouldn`t dare to complain about the dev`s awesome work, i was just a little bit unsure about the possibility of seeing a stable aosp rom one day, and whether i should keep my find 5 or send it back. To hear that oppo is a pleasure to work with and that awesome dev`s like you will carry on gives me enough certainty to keep that fantastic piece of hardware, and to supply some money to donate

I... am sold. Oppo's proactive dev support is just too awesome. I can see development taking off with this device months down the line, and that's saying much considering that it's already got a solid base for its age.
Looking forward to being a dev labrat~
