Best custom rom?

Hey guys, what is the best?
The original galaxy s phone had darkyy rom etc.
Also, what about kernels - the original had supercurios vs hardcores, what about the s2?
Im unsure about what is actually available for the galaxy s2, as i cant seem to find similar developers :/
A little help would be appreciated.

1. Everyone has a different opinion, and thankfully we already have many options to choose from.
2. Too early to tell but the dev work so far has been really amazing. Partly due to Samsung and their brilliant approach to custom Roms (basically encouraging it) and our wonderful Rom chefs who (with the help of many others) are doing an incredible job.
Just start going down the list and try them one at a time... some (if not most) you won't even have to wipe your phone to try.
Welcome to the SGSII world.

[Q] Android 4.2.2 Google Edition on GT-i9500??

Are there any plans of releasing an android google edition for the international version of the Galaxy S4, GT-i9500?
I'm not sure if it's under development but it would be nice, I only see it's available for Gt-i9505...

Can we use THIS or THIS
If we can, it will be awesome not only to port stock based roms from I9505, but from others like Galaxy s3 series and other ARMV7 Devices:good::good:

[DT] CM11 roms opinions: Carbon, CyanFox, infected_'s, Pound and Wayland_ACE's

Hi everybody.
There are five main CM11 (CyanogenMod 11) roms for the Samsung Galaxy S2:
Carbon Rom (Myself5)
CyanFox (Christiancs1969)
Wayland_ACE's ROM (Wayland_ACE)
Pound ROM (lion0738)
infected_'s ROM (infected_)
This thread is to talk about own experiences with this roms.
What's OK and/or what's wrong. What recommend you and why.
Regards.
P.S:
The poll is outdated. I considered remove it, but I can't do it. I also considered move the thread to Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
If anyone think this thread causes conflicts, be free to report it to moderators. I apologize. :angel:

I tried pound rom it has many features including halo but now im on slimkat due to working art, carbon rom also have a working art and I think it has cm11 as base rom.

I dont think thats a good idea to make a thread like this especialy title"a vs b vs c vs d" this thread is more likely to be whats the best 4.4 rom

You're right. I changed it.
Thanks. :good:

I don't undestand one thing, infected ROM and Wayland_ACE ROM, both are based on Cyanogenmod 11 ( AOSP ) right? So why is Infected' running ART for about 2 weeks and Wayland_Ace not?
And another thing, Infected ROM is based on Cyanogenmod 11, so why Cyanogenmoed did not add CM11 to Nightly downloads (I mean they are still working on 10.2 but no one is interested in 4.3.1 anymore, because there is 4.4.2 out there, In my opinion is a waste of time and energy)
I will kindly thank you for your answer.

Best rom? Dude best rom or awesome rom threads are not allowed in xda.. I don't know the mods are still silent... Everybody's taste is different... More over all the roms u comparing are completely different.. Though all cm11

I've been using Cyan-Fox for about a week now. Good battery life and features. Really like it so far.

I've been using Pound rom since it was out and updated with every new version, it's really stable and has nice features. I had a battery drain issue at first but then realized mediascannerservice wakelock was the problem... So I just blocked it with the wakelock blocker setting and Voila! I'm also very tempted by Slim kat, the JB slim roms are great and the fastest I tried before going to Pound rom.

Just wondering if anyone here can tell me if any of the above roms support multi-user in the 'settings' screen. I have kids and I'm really looking to pseudo-corner off my phone (I know the limitations). I'm having real trouble with some of the roms.. and wondering if anyone else has tried/successfully got it working?

For certain multiuser will NEVER make it into the standard CM tree for non-tablet devices now that they are a for-profit.

Add CarbonROM by myself5 to the list

Guys is there any cm11 rom with
Display colour mode adjustment settings ie. Dynamic ,movie, natural, etc. I have already tried cyanfox and infected's rom I really didn't like the default colour mode of display on these roms . please help

I'm on Wayland_ACE's CM11 and all of my issues are with 4.4 at large, not the ROM in particular barring one: is anyone else having issues with flac playback? Apollo & CM11 are choking on files that Apollo & CM10.2 had no problems with.
I'd be curious to hear back from anyone on any of the other CM11 base roms in particular.

try slimkat sabermod by fJ under settings -> advance option -> device -> screen

Have good time to dedicate towards this and thought the community needs good point of reference, especially for those who join now or later. When younger on HTC Hero, I used XDA religiously as user and now, as I began to gain insights into more and more of how developing works, working towards getting Recognized Contributor or Developer status eventually. Give back to the community to those who were like me a while back now.

Great work! Easy reference is sweet. Thought I'd mention that Shohat ROM flashed and booted fine but had no data. At least it didn't for me. Full wipe, etc. There is an apn fix but it still has issues with sending texts. The dev says he's working on it. ......

Hey @RevelationOmega how do you know which International ROMs are good to work with Sprint? I went to both International ROM threads that you have listed in the OP and I couldn't find anywhere that they are compatible with our "SM-G900P".

Stop spamming the developement thread. You're not supposed to ask such questions here. Go to the general or Q&A section for such random questions and please use the search button. _/\_
As someone earlier answered to your "question" there is no i9500 GE. Slimkat or GearCM are the closest.
