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!

[Q] Seriously...which one is Better?

Hey folks! My buddy just got the Galaxy Note and I was telling him about the awesome Developer custom firmware and mods...BUT then he told me, nothing beats the Official Firmware aka GingerBread with, in my opinion the Horrible TouchWiz UI. So I wanted to know your thoughts?
Am I wrong about TouchWiz being a bad representation of the Beauty of Android and not being Optimized for the Note...or am I biased?
All responses are welcome

Obviously it depends on what you prefer but i definitely prefer custom roms cause a) they usually are a lot smoother and b) they look better. And of course there's couple features you don't have on stock. Have a try?

I love ICS to death, but the lack of toggles in the notification bar really put a damper on things. I would recommend a Custom ICS ROM like CM9, or the sorts. Just look through the threads to see which was has the least amount of problems, or suits you best.

I've been using ics stunner 5.0 for a day now and there is a bunch of toggles to use and I think this is the best rom I have had on my note. Doesn't feel like having a beta rom at all

Stunner works surprisingly well. I am using Alba jp6 atm. And it rock! No issues I can find.

Oh this is NICE...A lot of Opinions I see, great! Keep em coming

My absolute ideal ROM would be a proper AOSP ROM(With fully optimized and compiled kernel) and Samsung's premium suite S-Note app. But for now I'm happy with AOSP CM9 ROM that I've been using as a daily diver.

TOTALLY agree with you.
my perfect ROM is 100% AOSP experience(no more touchwiz please) with FULL S-Pen functionality.
this would be perfect.

I'm still on stock GB, as I have a custom ICS ROM on my tablet and don't see the new features as enough of a reason to void my warranty having played with it for a while - and I'd like to get premium suite when it comes out too.
I did like TW when I first got the Note, especially the list display of the apps menu, but having tried various launchers (inc. sPB shell) I keep ending up back with ADW Ex which I love the tweakability of. It takes a while to learn what the different settings do but you can get a great UI experience from it once you've got it set up just right. I think TW would be so much better if you could tweak it a bit more to your own preferences.
I probably will root my Note and install a lean, custom ROM once my year's warranty is up, just for the performance benefits and lack of bloatware, but for now I'm happy with GB.

There's nothing wrong with touchwiz, imho. I personally prefer adwlauncher but I could live with touchwiz if I had to. To each their own.

Samsung Galaxy S 3 ROM, what I have planned :D

So I might get my sgs3 within a week or so and when we get a "Stock Image" I'm planning to make a kickass Rom
So this is what I have planned
AOSP apps
AOSP themed
AOSP look and feel
Init.d scripts everywere
No bloat
Free RAM tweaks
Try to make the rom as small as possible
theme it all up to stock ics
Music hack for better sound
100% smooth and stable
Some camera tweaks
Any request leave it here thank you

Awesome!
I have a few requests, Make sure S voice still works like it does out of box.
also make sure the whole Widgets/Resizing and any 3rd party widgets aren't broken? i've seen this before..
Do those 2 and ill donate.

The 'stock ICS theme' is what I'm most excited about. I love samsung but they made it look way too much like ginger

It's going to be something like this but a little more AOSP because touchwiz is easier to deal with than sense

What I want the most would be a "hybrid" AOKP/cm9 rom, as seem here by Mr. Apocolypse... It's awesome, but did take some work he says, so if not possible no worries, but AOKP features are simple things but very nice to the eye.

Hey Eclipse! nice to see you here. Your plan sounds great, hope to see it soon!

Good to hear and looking forward to it. As for features, I'd say try not to break the good native apps and features like the music player, the video player, the nice exchange active-sync support, eye tracking to stay awake, flac playback... etc....

There's no such thing as a "RUU" for any Galaxy devices.
It's called a Stock Odin Image that you flash via Odin.

27AUG2013 We need more Android 4.2 ROMS

Android 4.3/CM10.2 ROMS are growing in number, and many former Android 4.2 and CM 10.1 ROMS have been evolved into the newer builds. Problem is that Graphic Glitches on Android 4.3 for Samsung Exynos phones are substantial, and they make the user experience quite unstable and at times very irritating.
We need developers to continue updating 4.2 ROMS with the latest features (e.g. Focal, HALO2, etc...) for a while until the Graphic glitches on 4.3 ROMS are dealt with sufficiently. Maybe a new PA or CM 10.1 ROM would be a good place to start. Current 4.2.2 ROMS still being developed lack many new features and recent updates.
Thanks for everyone who helps. If you agree with the idea, press THANKS below to show the number of those interested.

We need 4.2 roms which dont deplete your battery in 5 minutes lol.

Try out SlimRom build 8. It's 4.2.2 and stable, fast and battery friendly and include all the customization options you need.
With that said I would also like to say that my modded stock and odexed 4.1.2 is working like a charm and nothing beats it.

Try developing yourself and you will know how difficult it is. Just begging and demanding don't work. Go fork some repos and port 4.3 changes back into 4.2
And the issue of graphic glitches is not anyone's but Samsung's fault because they haven't released updated GPU drivers. And non of the 4.3 Roms mentioned stable so such glitches are expected.
If you are not satisfied with whats avilablr then either make your own stuff or suffice with whats available.

[Q]Good custom rom for Samsung galaxy S4

I have a samsung galaxy S4 SGH-I337M(canadian version) and im looking for a good rom out there. I whant to have a rom that gives you alot features, that gives the best performance to this devices and runs really smooth. I whant a rom that gives you alot of option's to customize. Can someone give a list of rom's that fit what I whant ?

You might want to try Goldeneye. I like it. It is touchwiz so you get the features of stock but a very nice smooth rom. Just one suggestion. :good:

Check the Dev threads.

Does it run smooth like cyanogenmod or does it lags sometimes like the original touchwiz?

It's not perfect, but it is much better than stock. Try it and if you don't like it you can always go back to cyanogenmod.

Sorry folks, all of the ROMs here are pretty good, it is really up to the user to determine which one works the best.
These threads get closed as users tend to make them arguments about one rom over another.
