Greeting to all of you for creating a wonderful community!!

Hi guys,
I been a silent follower to this forum and respect all the great works done by all the devs, mods & members. I am certainly new to this forum but not in forum world.
I must say i am new to Android phones but not to Androids as i have few tablets for last few years. Its been fun flashing, rooting & using multiple custom roms in my Tegra2 Tablet and so Android does fascinate me like you guys.
Apart from my Iphone recently i got another phone, it's Dell XCD35 / ZTE Blade Gen2. I know ZTE Blade has a great community with tons of customized roms.
Being new to this forum i guess it is taking some time for me read so many thread and try understand different roms available.
Can anyone suggest me any rom where i can get stable performance, good battery life, fluid animation, overclocking & other features.
I am aware of Apha ICS rom and being not so stable & many apps doesn't work smoothly its not my choice right now.
Appreciated for all comments & your valuable time.

I would go for the LG Mode ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442517
It's got pretty good performance, nice animations, and on top of that; it looks wonderful!
Overclocking is possible, and with my Blade running at 729 Mhz and the governor set to "Lag-free", it's even smoother to run. Would definitely recommend that ROM. It's also got a built-in root explorer, and a smooth theme changer app, and a seriously good battery life!

Yeah, about that, how do you utilize that? I mean, what can you do with that, and what advantages does that give you?

Thanks amelo007 for the suggestion mate and will defiantly look for it. First impression: the rom looks very neat.
Any more suggestion guys?

The LEWA OS is a pretty sweet ROM as well. It's got a cool different interface in the phone settings, and not to mention the homescreen and app-drawer.
The only thing that I find to be a bit silly, is the fact that this ROM is actually Chinese, so there are a few translation mistakes, but other than that, it's damn sweet.
It's kinda quick too! It also has the ability to overclock:

i use cm 7.1 n257 for daily use and its awesome and performance wise the best.
use it if u play games and need performance.
lewa os is good and is updated every friday via ota updates but only has 2 languages with some errors in english translation.
if u want to try ics try alpha 5 fix 2 almost evrything is working and its damn good (its my second rom)
u can even try fish and chips its a light and very fast rom if u want a light rom with very smooth scrolling

You should try out wbaw's Ginger Stir Fry. The best battery performance Rom. I've overclocked it to 710 and still i get around a day and a half of battery life.

it just reduces the power supply a bit to wifi and cpu there is no significant reduction in usage but the battery increases.

Thanks all of you for the support.
Thanks all of you for the support.
Truly appreciated.

I think there is a lot of info in this thread to get you going

Post what rom you're on and the reason for it!

I noticed many people who keep asking which rom is the best for battery life, etc....I'm sure that I am not alone in this, when I say that its really annoying. So to solve that problem. I've created this thread :]
I am really sorry for not including many other roms. I only picked on the roms which were at the top 2 pages in the original android dev and the android dev.
Again, I'm really sorry, but as I told another person, you are still more than welcome to talk about it and tell us why you chose that rom
Instructions:
1. Post your rom name.
2. Post which kernel you are using.
3. Why you like it
Optional:
1. What theme you are using.
2. Case
I'll start the thread off:
I'm using CheckROM RevoHD™ V6.
I am using the SpeedMod SGS2 [K2-21 kernel.
I like this rom because of the stability and the battery life. I also really love the kitchen which gives you the endless amount of flexibility to customize your rom the way you want to!
I am using the Ice Cream Sandwich Domination 2.0.3 Godlike!
I am using the SUPERGETS case which I purchased from AmazonUK for £1.70.
PS: Anybody who has a problem with this thread being here can leave right now. I never asked to click on this thread, did I now? (This message is to the people who created the "useless" tags..)

Why don't you have stock rom option?
I'm using stock XXKH3 because it does not restart my phone when on wifi (unlike KL1, KL3, haven't had time and patience to try others). It's stable ant that's what I need.
For kernel, I chose Syah v2.6.12 because of undervolting/underclocking abilities and I run [email protected] UV with battery (2000MAh) lasting for 4 days (and nights) with some light usage.
On top of that I've got GoLauncher for easier customization.

Really sorry about the stock not being on the list. But you can still talk about it. And if you don't mind me saying...That is amazing battery life I get through the day with my stock battery, so I'm not going to complain But 4 days? That is simply amazing!
Have a nice day mate :]

Im running checkrom v6 wit speedmod
But im eagerly watching over the aokp thread as i really want it for the s2. Its awesome on my tab 10.1

I am using
CheckROM RevoHD™ V6.
Speedmod Kernel K2-21
Shade of Dusk Theme
Samsung Mesh Case
IMO CheckRom is quite simply the best all round ROM for this phone, it is exceptionally smooth and fast with zero bugs (that i have found anyway) and coupled with Speedmod kernel offers superb battery life, plus the Kitchen Pro allows you to customize your ROM the way you want, ive been using CheckRom since it's inception and i cant see me using anything else barring ICS.

You haven't included Rebel ROM in the poll list.
Using Rebel ROM with Siyah Kernel because of its battery life and the SE Launcher.

Hands down has to be Checkrom v6. Using NEAK kernel and both are match made in heaven. Best rom on GB. Regarding ICS. I have to say cm9 will be my next rom once that is stable. But knowing what Leo and GC will do once they get their hands on the official ICS stuff now that will be one hard choice to make..Hopefully the dualboot project might come to effect by then
Ps what Jonny said above i could not have put it any better..Well said mate

cyanogen mod9
default cm9 kernel
because its freaking fast smooth and has incredible battery life

Sorry if I may come off sounding rude or anything. But is dual booting really that useful? I mean sure you can boot into miui and cm9 or cm7. But is it really that important? Or is it just a feature that you would like to have because it sounds and looks cool?
Would really appreciate if you could shed some light on this subject!
Thank you and have a good day.

1. Checkrom V6
2. CF Root LA4
3. Best balance of battery life and performance, sure other kernels can give better results on the battery side but I've got a 2000mah battery and charge nightly. Just everything works well with stock kernel. Will try out RedPill over the weekend.
4. Vert's ICS from Kitchen app,

Oh yeah I can't wait for ICS either ^^ But I heard some rumours that Ice cream sandwich for the gs2 will come out March 1st. Is this true or is this just a rumour?
Thanks.

Samsung has comfirmed that it will come out on Q1, and Miui v4 are coming on 29 Feb so people are rumoring that it will come on 1st March.
If ICS will come out I will probably use the original one since I have a big problem with touchwiz, it hurt my eyes

hi
using- krinyo xwla4 slimrom + phenomenal 4.0 extreme.
why because i tried many roms and this gives no fc is smooth fast and the kernel is for battery life. developer support this rom and is very helpful. if u go to his threa u can see that are not 100000 post in wich many user complain about errors or other things. i think u dont need many words just try it and u will be amazed.
and put this rom in poll too.

currently using stock LPH with its own kernel, the only thing i modified is the modem which is LP6
after i tried ICS i couldnt go back to GB so with my current setup im getting awesome battery life, no fcs so im pretty happy with it

Touchwiz is a virus. A virus which has been released by samsung to torture people like us Purists! I just love how pure ics looks

Well in a perfect world for me it would be nice to have access to two roms that i enjoy instead of restoring and backing up and reflashing. As you say it is a feature that sounds and looks cool but i am pretty sure we shall not see the light off. Yeah it might be possible and i think few devs have already tried it but it really has not taken off. It was more of a figure of speech i used it mate. Like i said it would of been great to use both ICS checkrom and cm9 as dualboot but that is a if and but...
So like i said best rom for me at the moment is checkrom as you can see from my sig. hope this clarifies a bit more

Checkrom v6
Darkknight 2.5.2
I flash a new firmware every 2nd day but I always go back to Checkrom and Darkknight because Checkrom is amazing with its kitchen etc and all other kernels like siyah, neak or redpill drain my battery in about 6-10 hours while on Darkknight I can use the handy for about 24 hours. Same usage. Maybe those devs could take a look at what Darkknight does right.... But I think it's really frustrating to be excited to flash a new kernel which praises "best battery" and after some hours your phone turns off.....

Sick of every 2 days buggy custom rom updates

I'm really tired of trying the buggy custom ROMs on my Arc S, anymore. Every few days, the devs(many of them "devs") release a new ver. with more bugs. Even in Aroma?! Tried almost every ROM and everytime there are bugs. And if, by mistake, there aren`t, the dev decide's to make an update and spoil the hole thing. And sometimes the update is just visual, but other bugs appear. And the bugs are so common in most of the roms, that I think all the devs just visually customise the same buggy rom.
Havin in mind the above, I want a stock rom, with only improvement - no lag in phone app and camera, quickpanel settings with % battery, may be a camera mod, for better pics and AOSP look, and no stupid rom updates that bring bugs. Want a rom for the rest of my phone's life.
Is there a solution for me, or I'm just dreaming

solution - unpack ftf and do it on your own, it's not that hard given the time spent posting this thread..

Hmm I think you are better off to stock fw. And I think you dont deserve the hard works they put on to this for free

exactly my thoughts
But Remix ICS ROM is a good rom too, I know it was full of mistakes in aroma installer, but the rom performance is great, only need to remove and add few stuff and is a great rom
At the beginning I thought that jader was another "ChaozFirZen" """developer""" but after trying his ROM I was surprised how fast his rom is, also stable, way better than many ICS roms, he deserves 5 stars on his thread

Best ROM and Kernel

Hello guys I'm new here,i get this device 2 days ago(coming from HTC Pico development)...I want your opinion for the fastest ROM,with a nice battery life and UI .Kernel too !
Regards !

i don't know about speed but if you want good battery life and stability, you should use original samsung gb roms like jw1 or newer (my choice is jw1 rom with jvt modem and aosp lock). Then use cf-root for rooting and remove bloatwares. A little advice, don't waste your time with ics or jb developments, because you don't seem to looking for only the fastest rom.

I like this: Slim Bean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780071

Test yourself
I've tested almost 10 ROMS, and in my opinion, test yourself.
For me, based on JB are good but battery life very poor.
Based on ICS, the best at the moment. My favorites:
1. Realrom v5: Very good battery, smooth, but not very good for playing.
2. SlimRom: very nice, very smooth, no lags but poor battery.
3. Biohazard 7: very very fast, but.... buggie! Problem of restarting.
4. My favorite: SmoothieICS: fast, vary good battery (2 days using greenpower), and perfect games. Still in beta version.
Hope it help you!

And indeed, on page 2 there is

Helly Bean already is 4.2.1:
hellybean.com/I900042.html
But the majorety goes for CM instead of Helly Bean?

CM10
AOSP 4.2.1 (current)
above rom is awesome what I using.

hellybean and the devil kernel
there are also a 4.2 version which works great

Slim Bean is perfect for customizing..But not for performance i think..
The best combo is Elite's JB builds+latest semaphore kernel so far ..(I think).
But you can try it! I love Slim Bean just for tweaks ... The best one is "high end effects" for me
When you're scrolling not. drawer down,background's dim is channging... Gettin' dark just like Gnexus/Galaxy SIII or other devices which got offical JB !
Also an advice ;
If you wanna long lifetime battery best one is JW8 GB ROM

For me latest CM10 Nightly with Devil Kernel and maybe Lazeroid script works very smooth. No lags in GTA:VC on mid/high settings

Hey Guys
Looking for suggestions on what rom would be good for my GF's U8800
pretty sure its got the good screen, not the one with the problems
Currently running Miui-32 ProjectX V1.51a but its a bit buggy and i figured it would be a good time to move to an ICS based rom
Does anyone have any suggestions? I need good battery, smooth and bug free (within reason)

CM7.2 .32kernel from ezet.

Aurora ICS is pretty much the only stable ICS ROM for u8800.
Gingerbread ROMs are also pretty stable.
Since it is for a girl, go for MIUI ROM by forumber2, because it has good design and theme support (good for girls).
Good Luck!

Thats right, but Xperia Style rom is better, everything works and its like xperia mf...
For costumization you con use a launcher that alows themes and stuff like that.
Aurora and MIUI, on my phone, can't use Wi-fi, so not stable and bugfree....
Xperia style everything works and has a good battery duration...:good:
