So if you are here every day you may realize that I was the guy who kept saying that GB was incredible. But a few days ago I got bored of it and decided to jump directly to JB 4.1.2, I'm using some random rom calles Kang AOKP or so and totally blown away by its smoothness and customization and battery life. I pushed GB to its limit by extreme customization but it was no way this good. Google and developers did follow the right track, this rom is much morw helpful for my daily use. Of course I still find some bugs but I think I'll try another rom and never come back to older versions. ICS was a failure in my eyes but JB is a perfect win for me.
I heard that from 4.1.2 it's a lot different, so I think I'll keep trying with 4.1.2

+2 actually.
JB is awesome - as a flashaholic I just wish I could try more of the JB ROMS - but some of the download sites suck speed wise for me! or I can't get to them at the office
Rocking ROMS I have used - Jelly King, Vanilla Rootbox, Super Nexus and RR.
Dual boot Jelly King + whichever takes my fancy for today on Dorimanx 7.10
Improvement over ICS is :laugh::good:
Another Vote For Rootbox...Very Impressive ROM
Jelly Bean is really awesome, pity the big delays that non-nexus devices have to get official ROMs.
Praise the developers that work hard to offer us all the goodies ahead of time :laugh:
Jb is nice but has too much bugs you need to deal with the one I can't live with is the audio volume bug in the headphones.. Really gb is better than ics cm9 rom?

Wait, is your volume issue the same as mine? My volume is too big with headphone, when I play the music with headphone it's so big that I have to use volume level 1 or 2...
By the way, thanks for the suggested rom, I think I'll try them, but could u guys suggest me a rom which is the most simple and closest to Google's original rom?

vsync experimental ROM ftw.
And custom kernels have a workaround for low headphone volume. There aren't really that many noticeable bugs to be honest.

+1 I've tried several ICS ROMs, but was getting great performance with GB so I didn't move. Then moved directly to JB, never look back.
what about project butter? is it implemented in these ROMs?!
I guess not.
I appreciate the hard work that developers put on their ROMs but i think without project butter these are incremental ICS upgrades IMHO
Agree. I already tried GB and ICS, but I think ICS doesn't good enough than GB. But JB is very nice and I really like it.

vsync is integrated in the experimental vsync build in the android dev forums... It's the closest you'll get to project butter for now. Works great.

Heh, true that. I guess most people are just using stock roms, maybe with a custom kernel. This phone works fine the way it is actually, there are just some little flaws that can be fixed with a couple of hacks, and some colours which are a bit out place, but we have some nice themes after all.
Aosp roms are blazing fast tho, really unrivaled in terms of smoothness if you wanna play games...the problem with those is that they aren't 100% bug free as the ones i was using on my Desire, so i find it hard to use them as a daily driver for more than a few days every now and then on this particular phone.

I prefer Samsung custom roms because they are so freakin smooth. Excellent stock browser, I love TouchWiz and the launcher, superb camera interface, and an awesome video player app.
Hyperdroid all the way-official ROM of the 2012 Olympics.
You guys wants me to add more poll items for Custom Stock ROM ?
I'm trying out omega and liking it so far,
Reason why the large distribution is because really, the phone works as is pretty well. It just needs a few tweaks to get rid of that garbage late night battery full alert and a couple other things. Since most people are looking for stock + tweaks, there's a lot of different tweaks available.

CM9 and MIUI v4 will be it basically. They are already pure AOSP ROMs. What is more custom than that? There are a multitude of kernels to try with them and themes are being built on a regular basis now. Not sure what you are looking for. The only custom ROMs the epic had are based on Touchwiz and we are not getting official ICS to base ROMs off of.
The problem with basing on ICS is that you need to edit the source code and cm9 is already optimized enough. If you havent noticed, cm9 is a custom rom and IMHO the best one. It doesn't have touchwiz or bloatware or ciq so it doesnt need to be optimized, fixed, or cleaned.

I agree with other posts here. What more do we possibly need besides aosp cm9 and miui!? Lol. Its a treat that we're even seeing cm9 on our phone.

Once CM9 is out of its alpha stage and all the bugs and small tweaks are worked out and also once the devs get most of the upstream stuff i believe that we will see at best themes for CM9 but as it is now its in its "clean" state.
however i cant wait to start seeing themes come out for it i would love to learn how to theme CM9 i have some good ideas but still reading the how to's and working on my own CM7 theme lots of trial and error lol
It's not that I don't like cm9 or Don't already think ice cream sandwich is "perfect"( as is, far from it. This is the best experience I've pretty much had on my Epic. I just like seeing the variety and you guys' varied take on OS's as you've shown before. But yeah, it'll probably be a challenge cause of the almost perfect stableness.

Personally I'd go for Derteufel's build of CM10 with /datadata V8. Note that JB is no way a mature development though, you will experience bugs at such an early stage. Go back to ICS if stability is your priority.
Haha :laugh:
I think the CM10 by pawitp is the best
but as ballsofsteel said, its only an alpha version.
so you will get bugs everywhere
I´m satisfied with the cm10 build, because the functions I need are working (sms, data :victory
but if you want to have the "whole" experience, try cm9

This. It is quite annoying. Also my ringtone/notification keeps changing! But everything else seems to be great.
Recently, I transferred a heap of 320kbps MP3 songs to my Galaxy S3 to listen to songs on-the-go, but the average "feel" of the sound is ****tier than on my laptop, and I am only using one headset for both, my Audio Technica M50.
Are there any presets I could use which offer a better "feel" with PowerAMP or are there some other sound drivers I could install? I thought the audio chip in the S3 was some top-notch Wolfson?
Download neutron music player from the play store, its way better than poweramp.
There's a 64bit mode too for higher quality audio.
It costs a few euro but not much, its worth the money.
The UI isn't great but the sound quality makes up for it.

On XXDLI8 now with Siyah, JKay theme (he has fixed a lot of broken things too) and remember to get the transparency bug fix that is lurking as well...
It's perfect now, highly recommend that combo! smooth as butter after bloatware is removed.. smoother than CM10 from reports too (just saying don't flame me lol).

Hi! Some of you may know That MIUI started to post 20 MIUI V5 unofficial builds and one of those phone is our galaxy s2 and I'm one of the Beta testers and. The build is based on aosp and the latest MIUI V5 3.3.22. So soon we can all wait for the official build the unofficial build is stable with little lags and minor bugs. But no stock MIUI or stock Samsung camera only the AOSP camera.
So here is my MIUI thread to see some screenshots and list of bugs. :laugh:
