I want to change my stock rom to new one. I examine many roms and i decide, there are two stable roms. According to your opinion which one is better?
not sure but in one video on U tube i saw ideos x5 benchmark 2900 score
it had miui rom i guess it is very hard to beat that score
i guess i would try the miui rom
any other opinions very welcome
MIUI has a beautiful UI. Oxygen has a Cyanogen experience. The performance of both ROM seems not too much difference. My choice is MIUI because I like to have a beautiful UI while using it.
I would go forOxygen if I was you. It has the best performance and battery usage. Also screen sensors are the currently faster (at least for my phone) than in any other 2.3.5 rom. So for pure performance go for Oxygen. For eye-candy go for Miui.
Oxygen for me
Oxygen here also
O2! O2!o2!o2!o2!o2!o2!
Oxygen R1 is better

CM7 is the best. MIUI is the most customizeable interface and most sexy.

does our cm7 port support official cm7 themes?
Oxygen, supports cm7' s theme manager themes too.
Just need to take thememanager.apk and themechooser.apk from cm7 rom and push them to /system/app folder. I've tested it and works.

Nice..mind to pack it and share this 2 file only?
Between,do wondering how well Miui vs Oxygen.
any 1 mind to write a review for the latest release comparison?
with/without FrancoKernel
I am using Oxygen r1 currently,since i am a maximum performance cultist.
Really wondering whats is some advantages/disadvantages compare to Oxygen for MIUI?
i switched form oxygen to cm7 a couple of days ago, i must say that i don't see any difference performance wise
My vote goes to MIUI!
I tested oxygen,cm7 and miui my choice is MIUI..! really sexy UI
If you want the UI, go for MIUI, if you want performance and stability, go for oxygen. I prefer oxygen
I'm rocking the OXYGEN R1 rom
tilt sensor is very important for me. Which one has better tilt sensor for games etc?
Just tested the latest Roms available and based on my phone's hardware, I've got this:
- CM7 110821 - Very good battery usage - 55h, relatively good BT, but had some 3G data connection problems, sensor lag after a while.
- Miui 1.8.26 (28/8/11) - Good battery usage - 45h (not as good as O2 or CM7), excellent graphics, relatively good BT, but had some 3G data connection problems, no sensor lag.
- Oxygen 2.2.2 r1 - Very good battery usage - 51h, weak BT, no problems with 3G data connections, no sensor lag.
Overall, Oxygen is the best, in less you really need BT...

tested both
keeping kp8 for now, but without tw. opted for kp8 for now coz most features: camera, video works.
later, we'll just see
Using CM9 and loving it...still beta but stable as f**k and nice battery life. Only issue is the video codec (recording, youtube videos) as for playing videos i use MX video player with SW encoding instead of HW, and plays smooth as a slug sliding on butter!
None. I am a noob that knows his place.

CM9
no aos bug
everything perfect
using it for a week
I can't wait a ROM from luca and team, based on Samsung ICS, but many apps changed to AOSP.
+1 for CM9! A poll, maybe?

Although I'm currently using CM9, I'm waiting for the same, the best of TW (like the video codecs) with the best of ICS. That said, I'm loving CM9 (for example, video recording may not be working yet but the camera is ridiculously faster)

Kp8 less stable for a CM9.
CM9 my daily ron now.
CM9 appears to be a bit more stable than KP8 for me at the moment, however as soon as a VillainRom Team release ICS, I'll be using that.

I like cm9, when it have working video de/encode, it will be the best... imho
+1 CM9 (as daily rom!)
TW on KP8 suxxs ... ;/
+1 CM9, using it for a week now and it's stable like hell, fluent, true beauty IM LOVIN IT
I'm using CM9 as my daily rom. BEST ROM I EVER USED!
Went from CM7 to CM9, really stable, good music volume, the browser is great No video yet but otherwise its really sweet. Feel no reason to change!
CM9 all the way! It's very fast. I kind of want KL1 but I'll miss ICS in the first 5 minutes. So I'll use CM9 as it doesn't have any killer-bugs.
+1 CM9
TW was a nice addition in Froyo and Gingerbread but really gives no added funtionality in ICS. CM9 is a much nicer and more polished android experience. I really hated how ICS and Samsung looks mixed in xxkp8. I could have changed launcher etc. but going CM9 is much easier.

How would we know, the new leak was just released 4/1/12. Try it out and find out for yourself. They all have bugs, nothing most xda-ers would consider deal breaker.
Imilka's AOSP for my money. Slim, fast and reliable.
Stunner. Period.
+1 for ICS stunner.
just make sure you install it PROPERLY. don't halfass it.

youtube and fb apps work just fine for me. Do you have any particular site that doesn't work? Please post so that I can check and confirm.
Definitely Imilka's AOSP. Clean, fast, stable. And what's more important - it's pure ASOP, no touchwiz, no unnecessary tweaks, just Android as it was intended.
Ics stunner any day!
Here's a video I made.. this is its tablet UI.. note feels like a completely different phone.

Stunner, stunner period!!!
It depends. Would you like a complete stock Android experience, or would you like Samsungs S-Pen apps and features?
For the first one Imilka's is great. ICS Stunner, stock android, with lots of tweaks and options, is also a good choice.
If you would like the second, Midnote 3.0 is pretty good.
I'd recommend trying at least those three roms out.
It is difficult for people to recommend roms because of each user specific needs and requirements.
You will have to test them out yourself.
I'm on Midnote 3.0 at the moment and it's pretty good for normal use in my opinion.
Midnote because it's the only one that's given me fully functional Flash.

The weird thing is that Youtube works but nothing else does. Stunner has the best look and feel but having Netflix is too important.
Ics stunner
I used most of ICS builds, but the best at moment is ICS Stunner 4.3. Fast and stable.
I installed every new ROM, realy Stunner is best one
to me....pure ASOP= pure boring.
Oh, yeah....Stunner 4Shr.

I tried ICS for the past couple of days, was using Stunner and Imilka's. I used Midnote 3.0 for 5minutes, realised my modem was not working and switched roms (lazy to fix hehe .. All ROMs were speedy, especially setting the UI options to 0.5x performance (not sure what is the exact name of the settings, all i know is that its in developer settings). I can't comment much about the 0.2GHz increase, but it didn't really bother me when i was on LP1.
Between Imilka (was using v7), Midnote 3.0 and Stunner (4.3, latest LP5), Stunner suited me the most because there were less bugs, the ability to change from phone to tablet with more convenience. Mainly Stability/functionality/convenience (eg toggles) issues. Battery life on ICS was not bad, draining 1% for every 1.5 hrs of deep sleep in 2G+Data. However running apps caused my note to be warmer and drain was higher compared to GB.
However Rocketrom v23 + Franco Test kernel still pulled me back to GB today with S-pen full functionality + stock photo editor/ on the fly editing for screenshot. Stability and awesome battery life contributed much as well.

After trying all the major ICS roms... I have to agree to this as well. Neo does excellent job.
Whats actually better for performance? battery? smoothness?

Battery is almost always better with stock, while AOKP seems a lot faster(no touchwiz to slow it down) and smoother. I for one have always been a fan of CM, but lately I have not really felt the urge to go over to CM, as the stock rom comes with a lot more features and is pretty smooth(enable GPU Rendering and HW Composer). The clock, camera, motion controls etc. makes it a lot more difficult to switch over these days, but one should always try it out for oneself before making up one's mind.
I agree, I wanted a phone I could put CM9 or CM10 on but all the Samsung goodies are compelling and I find myself waiting on the next stock leak and not interested in CMx at all.
i wish beats audio would work on JB
I agree with all of the above. I love CM and AOKP and their unique set of features and vanilla goodies, but Samsung have really done a number on the S3! I find myself flashing the latest leaks almost straight away. They've just included so many useful features into the OS that I've become reliant on that, while I certainly prefer the vanilla look and speed, I don't want to sacrifice such genuinely useful features for it.
Except S-Voice of course, Lloyd* only knows what convinced Samsung it was going to be of any use to anyone - didn't they try it for themselves first?
Mind boggling to say the least. I do have to say though, the latest AOKP build looks mighty interesting with its tablet UI feature - wonder if it's done in a similar way to ParanoidAndroid?

CM/AOSP/AOKP roms are always very fast. I flash every kind of these Roms. It would be great port some apk files such as Music player, camera, clock, widgets to work on these roms.

The latest experimental build from Codeworkx is definitely faster than stock dli8, and smoothness ia pretty much on par. Still a couple of bugs to iron out, but once it gets to a stable release I could see me switching over for good.
With SGS1 and 2 I used CM until ICS leaks come out, since then it is not worth the performance "difference", comparing with what we loose
First thing I do is install GO EX launcher and delete TW

Can I upgrade Codeworkx over DLI8 without wipe?
Thanks!
TW launcher is and TW framework are different things. Deleting the seclauncher.apk and using go launcher does not make any difference over the whole rom.

It's available in the CM10 thread. I would advise you to read the instructions before flashing CM10, as it is not exactly like flashing a Samsung rom.

Couldnt agree with you more. Every phone ive had has been flashed with CM... The gs2 benefits from it but i have to say it. Touchwizz and the features of the stock rom ie; pop out play, motion controls, smoothness etc.. There just isnt the need to switch for me.

Im using Omega Rom which keeps all the touchwiz features i want but makes it better than stock. Best of Both!

That's why I love Vertimus and Domination Theme! Best of both worlds, for the most part. We just saw a post that said JB 1.3.1 will be showing up sometime this week.
If you want battery, I would recommand using the FoxHound Rom (0.5 now) with Siyah Kernel (included) plus the STweaks Hardcore3boost. That's what I did and my system is still very smooth.

Hey guys. Let's discuss about the ROMs we use.
So I've tried both TouchWiz and AOSP style ROMs before. These are my opinion for them:
TouchWiz:
+ great UI
+ more features than AOSP
+ has TV out
+ less bugs
+ multiwindow
- sometimes slow and laggy
AOSP
+ great advance features
+ mostly customizable
+ super fast and almost lag free
+ try new versions of Android
- no tv out
- no sim card contacts support
So can I get you guys's opinion?
It will be great if you can introduce me ROMs that have TV out and probably many Samsung features too.. Best is 4.2 and onwards
Thanks ! Hope to hear from you guys
For me,stock is better for daily use.AOSP are also good but one thing that i hate about these roms is bad battery life.With stock,i can get 5-6 hrs screen on time.With AOSP,i get 3-4 hrs screen on time.

AOSP being super fast and lag free on the S2 is a myth really. HW composer does not work on non samsung based roms meaning no project butter. That alone makes stock based roms a much more fluid experience even if it may not be as fast at opening apps for example.
try charmeleon rom base on jb 4.2.1 has a feauture of all aosp pure stock vanilla android hehe

I find roms like CM/OMNI better than stock in many ways, but I can't stand camera drivers, these are terrible In TouchWiz we have all sorts of enhancements like real time focus, blinking detection and for me it's the only disadvantage of these roms.
is there a port of tw for ASOP 4.4 builds? i dont like the ASOP notification bar .....is hideous and has way less functionality
Aosp based - no project butter
Camera is pathetic
Battery life poor
Superb performace
Happy feeling to run latest android
Highly customisable
Sammy rom
- slow bt fluid
- superb camera
- bloated (can be removed)
-much better handling for high end games
- touchwiz ui (I like it more wid touchwiz)
-good battery life
-feeling of being ancient (when u run 4.1 even when kitkat has been launched for months)

On the hw composer part, is it specific to the S2? Or also the other S devices? like the S3 or S4 for example.

Except for the galaxy s ... Which was identical to nexus s
I would prefer touchwiz...
More features and stability and also good battery life
I have tried so many AOSP/AOKP roms... but in the end I keep coming back to stock samsung based rom
AOSP roms are really beautiful and faster when it comes to opening apps. Samsung Stock based roms are just the most appropriate choice for daily use... much better battery life, can share contacts with a car's BT device, faster and better quality camera, much better performances when gaming.
its that much better battery life on stock compared to new kitkat or 4.3 aosp aokp?
stock rom+stock kernel is better then all of others when talking abt battery?
If only there's a ROM with AOSP and TouchWiz together with those latest features from AOSP and TouchWiz .. Hhahaa

Last time I checked, ppl reported few bugs. For example the quick settings bug.
Few months ago I tried an older version, but I came back to stock touchwiz. I had quite a few bugs all over the place (clean install).
