Why don't you just stay with the stock ROM?

Think the op was asking closest to stock android not stock sgs2
Cm7 looks like stock but has loads of extra goodness. Not for beginners and its still a wip but still.. well its ace the devs are doing magic stuff

Yeah I tried cm on my desire hd it was quite good but always went back to sense as I liked it, but in my opinion touchwiz is a bit more stock androidy feel to it rather than sense , so wanted to go all out and just try out stock android , so the cm rom, is it available yet? Obviously not stable I take it??
Oh I would also like to ask if someone can tell me is what's the difference between cm stable and nightly builds??
I think I can assume what stable means but never knew what a nightly build was??

Its not 'stable' yet for sgs2 in fact the first nightly only came out today.
Stable releases are known quantities I.e set milestones whereas nightly builds have commits added as they're submitted... nature of the beast some will fix stuff some might cause issues. Pot luck.
Stick with stable builds (there isn't one for sgs2 yet) if you want something rock solid without the occasional gremlin or two.
I quite like touchwiz but always run launcherpro so rarely bump into tw!

Which ROM is being used widely ?

Lets see how many users are using Custom Rom , Stock Samsung ROM , MIUI or CM7....
Vote at your will.

Using my own custom sammy rom . I like to put my own touch to them lol. CM7 is ok but i find anything AOSP roms have flaws but props to the devs.

My custom ROM too. Aosp.

Oxygen 2.3.2, or HydrogenMod.
Aosp for me all the way.

To be fair, stock would be the most used rom.

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.

Galnet MIUI ICS builds. Far better than anything else.

stock 2.3.5 PT + juicedefender
thats it

checkk
CheckROM with ICS syndicate theme work perfect for me!

You're going to get a biased result asking on xda, as its where people who like modding go. Most users will not know about xda or bother with custom roms and be using stock

im a little bit confused because i come from nexus one, where the biggest part use CM builds, but here there seems to be a more even distribution among users..... any special reasons?

Was on cognition for a long while. on darky ROM now.

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.

WajkIUI... i hope the spelling is right.. excellent ROM

Yes, me too often, so it would be useful the possibility to edit the vote casted in the poll.

What is the point of making poll and not including any or almost any GB roms? Great roms like Gigabread+, MoonROM, Crybernation, CM7 and the ones I can't remember now?
There is no point.

Exact. I was wondering the possibility to add / edit poll answers, but this seem not possible.

Flashed and tried most of them, and allways back to stock VP (modded by me) rom.

I tried AOSP, CM9, Blazr and then this and this one is the best. Antutu score is also highest -- 5748!

still on GB. Shadow0 ROM v2.1E. Freely customizable...

i tried almost every rom
but i think aokp and slimrom are the one for me

JELLY BEAN is awesome!

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?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

rootbox wins

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.

Siyah with extweaks, DorimanX kernel also... It's an option in extweaks itself which can raise headset, speaker and mic gain.

RootBox v3.1

Running 4.0.4 on mine, very smooth no issues. After all the trouble with my optimus 2x on cm10 (calls not working) I think ill stay stock rooted for a while.

thats just great! cant wait to get the n10 and flash it with a good & nice aosp rom

Yep looking forward to this to. I have been running Siyah Kernel for a couple of weeks and it's great to be able to switch between the stable stock based rom and CM10

Yep same as on the Nexus 7 forums too, looking forward to having 4.2 AOSP on both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7:laugh:

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Won't take long to CM10-4.2 get released. I guess 4.2 uses the same base and stuff, so won't be a problem. Still, I may stick with Samsung. I love CM10 but not CM10 for i9300. Colors doesn't look good, laggy and a lot of random bugs.

Looking forward to it. Unfortunately cm10 on i9300 is beyond the team's control . If Samsung took their thumbs outta their asses and start releasing the RIGHT source and docs for Xynos, we might actually get somewhere. Its a miracle we've come this far without it.

I see a lot of people comment that Touchwiz ROMs run more smoothly than CM based builds. This is exactly the opposite of my experience. I find the Cyanogen team's work to be second to none, which is remarkable considering they're volunteering their time.

It's freaking me out a bit that my Verizon Galaxy Nexus will get a 4.2 custom ROM before my Nexus 4. WTF?

With the CM vs TW ROM debate, is there one Vanilla ROM that you think proves that theory that they run smoother and faster because I'd love to test it if there is one. I've always also felt that TW runs smoother? Maybe I'm wrong. Is LiquidSmooth a good example?

I think that comment probably did that more than anyone else's. I think it's a perfectly valid part of the discussion. I'm not suggesting we sit here and go back and forth on ROM names. But I'll ask my question in a different way. What is it about the AOSP release that's out there now that isn't working well that will be improved by this 4.2 release? Ultimately, this isn't about one ROM base vs another it's about whether AOSP can be made to work bug-free with the I9300 hardware, isn't it?

I believe it's also to do with what new FEATURES have been added to the new AOSP release and less to do with how much stability it will add (since that is dependent more on Samsung releasing the source than what AOSP has to offer in terms of stability).
Some of us would like to make use of the new features of 4.2 and not have to wait for an official Samsung update.
Having said all this, at the end of the day, that's my point of view and I don't expect everyone to agree.
