whats the best unbranded Galaxy S2 Stock Rom

I really like the stock Rom
Not quite ready to flash a new one yet (unless a good MIUI shows up)
I think the stock rom is very smooth and only really needs root to be a good everyday workable rom, until something outstanding shows up.
I currently have stock branded orange rom (rooted) witha most of the orange and samsung apps frozen with titanium backup.
I am looking for a totally (or near as dammit) stock Rom but without all the branding form orange, and unnecessary apps running in the background so i can get better battery life.
Any ideas on the best one for my purpose.

LeoMar Mod with Ninpho kernel.

Oh yes forgot that is going to here soon
may take a look at LeoMar Mod with Ninpho kernel in the meantime.
Sick of this horrible orange logo on bootup

I'm using the leaked stock XXKG3 together with the Ninphetamine v2.02 Kernel and all is well.
Good battery life, smooth rom with no issues and no restarts, looking forward to the 'official' release.
In the meantime if you want to flash it via Odin here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

I have installed Lite'ning Rom v4.1 XXKG3 - Fast as Lightning, but not happy as I thought and experienced custom ROM's before.
Now, can I install any of the stock (original) SGS2 ROMs or should I find the same one I had in my phone before I flashed custom ROM??
Thanks

I owned the SGS1 when it came out and it desperately needed fixes and alternative ROMs, now with the SGS2 I am a bit surprised because I ended up to the same conclusion as you. I feel no need for custom ROMs. The stock ain't so bad, TouchWiz is decent, it runs stable enough, really have no issues.
So I'm also looking for a clean Samsung stock ROM to get rid of all of my operator junk (useless apps taking resources, startup/shutdown logos, etc). Plus it's bad to have to wait more when a new version comes out as operators take ages to customize them (still on KE6/KEB)
I think I will wait until the first official "clean" Samsung 2.3.4 comes out tho... right now it is pretty good, except for the usual battery problem (that IMHO can only be really fixed with a fat 3000 mAh battery or so)

Well for now AOKP roms are the way to go I think any way, roms like RootBOX and Resurrection Remix along with either Fluxxi, CM9 or Siyah kernel
Should check them out

I use NeatRomLite v1.1 and I'm extremely satisfied!! Both with battery life, speed and smoothness! Try it, you'll love it!!

The 'best ROM' is the one that works best for your phone. Try a few out and make your own decision.

revolution 6.1.0 is awesome!

I can use SRS!
not use any other app!
thank you revolution!

Yes !
Nothing to say about this rom !
Just great great work !!!

This ROM is truly amazing. I've tested alot of ROMS now but I always had to install ARHD after every single ROM.

hi the roms is very good
iam having some trouble withe the remove script

Agreed really good, trying RCmix VoidU at the moment too, very similar but getting fc with Acrobat Reader and can't uninstall!
Will probably go back to ARHD

Go to Market and download Root Uninstaller than uninstall whatever you want

sorry boys but has any of you tried CM7 or H2O?? ARHD is nice for someone who likes Sense UI but if you don't like it or don't mind it than any non-sense rom is a lot better. I tried many ROMS and none of the sense roms are even half as fast as CM7

yeah this rom really rocks ;D

Sent from HydrOG3N MOD DHD.

Would have to agree. ARHD 6.1.0 is definitely awesome. XD
To me it seems much smoother and much more responsive than 5.2.6. However I'm not really liking some aspects of the UI like the new weather widget and lock screen. :\

The new ROM is absolutely great! In fact this is my first CustomROM, just rooted the Phone 3 days ago..., but it's much faster and more energy efficient than the original stockROM is. Love it!

6.1.0 is great, fast, stable and battery life is great, tried a few other ROMs including CM7 but keep coming back to ARHD.

ARHD is a rom for absolute beginners on the custom rom world.
There are lots of different roms with much more possibillities.
for example...
- MIUI
- CyanogenMod
Try more often a different rom and discover the fun of flashing.

I really love revolition rom. today i spent all day with flashing this rom. But I've severeal problems with it.
When I try to install modifications (Like Advanced CPM, Custom Quick Menu, lower auto brightnes), It's stucks at Boot Screen... I couldn't understand why doing this but i think this addons only compatible with revolition 5.x.
Am i right ?

yes, you need to wait for the 6.1.0 mods. The 5.x mods will not work with 6.1.0. updated mods are scattered among the thread but you will need to look for them. The updated mods will be added to first page soon I'm sure.

Not sure if its just me. But I am unable to calibrate the g sensor, it just says it fails

Actually the message is calibration aborted...

Yea i like the rom too it works amazing

Or... it's also a ROM for people who like Sense, and possibly even bought an HTC phone because of Sense, at least partly.
Some of us like AOSP or MIUI ROMs, some of us like Sense ROMs. Let's not get into putting down various ROMs or people who use them, please. These things are subjective and are opinions not facts.
However I completely agree that it's fun to flash different ROMs and try them out - no argument there!

This ROM seems really good.

[POLL] Rom you are currently on.

Hello all . . Would like to conduct a poll as to which rom you guys have flashed and
stuck on as it gives the best results

No stock option?

Cassie rom is the fastest yet, just tried darky 1.3 but it was slow!

Just flashed Rocket Rom V12 and very impressed with the speed. Completely smooth scrolling and excellent battery performance so far.

Sorry I stick to stock deodexed rom. Most of Rome in development are just themed stock.

think you know nothing much then? have you even tried a rom before?

I used to flash roms on my SGS so much.. however with the Note I am very happy with rooted stock... very fast.. not a single lag in scrolling.. smooth unlocks and camera... I play 1080p videos via HDMI on my 46inch and 3D gaming is excellent and I am happy with the Samsung luncher as well... I will wait for the stable ICS roms...

stock rom No flashing!

Rocket rom v12 is the real deal

I tried Darky 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3 -> had problems using the phone. i tried to fix it like it was told in the thread, but it still didnt work out
Then I switchet to rocket rom and now everything is fine except for bloatware...
Still Im looking forward to the final Darkyrom, since I used it on my SGS1...

Stock rooted.

Yes I've tried Cassie, rocket and darkyrom. Sorry stock has always been smooth to me. Specially with kl7 release, I take 2min out my busy day and delete apps, theme, and make tweaks my own.
Its been the same since sgs2. Rooted stock rom, someone else's kernal and some tacky theme on top.
Im patiently waiting for checkrom.

Stock rooted for me too. And I don't see any reason to flash another rom as the stock one is fantastic.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app.

I'm on Rocket v12. Everything is ok except custom launchers. These are still choppy (especially the app drawer to home screen transition). I am really hoping to get somehow a real custom rom like miui.
I used miui on the sgs2 for a really long time and was very pleased with it.

So far...stock is the one for me.

Best rom for nexus s?

Hi all, there are many roms un development section but i m confused which one to flash...can someone help me? Which one is the fast smooth JB rom? And with which kernal?? Currently using PA2.54 very slow...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

There is dozens of this exact thread in the Nexus S forums. A few active and talking right now in this very sub forum. Its all a matter of personal opinion. Do some searches, read some reviews, flash and try and base your decision by your use cause no one uses their phone the same way with the same signals.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app

You seem new to roms, its probably best for you to start out with this combination:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10 Nightlies
Kernel: Default CM10 kernel
or
ROM: Rasbeanjelly
Kernel: Trinity kernel
Also heres a popular list of roms and kernels
ROMs: CM10 Nightlies, Slimbean, Blackbean, Rasbeanjelly, Strawberry
Kernels: Marmite, Matrix, Trinity, Air
You can find all of them here.

You need to wipe everything (except sdcard) if you're moving from a different rom (PA)
Just do a nandroid/titanium backup and everything will be fine.
Here's the link to stock, rooted, deodexed 4.1.2 rom: http://d-h.st/t7o
_thalamus 4.1.2 kernel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlc10xyx1...3.0.31-666_rel-9-g76bb0a5-20121016-213036.zip

CM10 is your best bet, other ROMs like Rasbeanjelly+Trinity is also good too but it's more likely a gimmick imo.

Definitely start out with CM10. I just recently got into flashing custom ROMs on my Nexus S (was rocking stock for a long time), and CM10 + Marmite kernel (smartassV2, cfq, 200/1000) is my preferred setup.
I've also tried my luck with Slimbean and Strawberry 4.1.2, but both of them always had little annoyances that you simply don't have to worry about with CM10. That being said, the AOSP-based ROMs like Strawberry and Slimbean do run very smoothly. I do plan on trying out AOKP, however, as it has a TON of customization options and appears to be pretty polished overall.

Slim Bean is the best rom for me, but I can customize everything so I have no problem. For most people it's better to use CM10 and the Jelly Bean 4.2 gapps.

Both the ROM and kernel can have an effect on gaming performance. Try testing out another kernel to see if anything improves.
Like I said earlier, I highly recommend Marmite for the Nexus S. It has great performance and battery life.

Hi, I just rooted my Nexus S (Mobilicity) the first time and I have some question here:
1. Should I just install this CM10 nightly cm-10-20121115-NIGHTLY-crespo.zip (seems to be the latest) ?
2. I found gapps 4.2 here ]highonandroid.com/android-apps/googleapps-4-2-for-android-jelly-bean-roms-gapps/, Can I use this for CM10?
3. Do I need to flash radio for CM10?

1. Yes, that's the latest nightly. Should be very stable, as far as I know.
2. DO NOT download that gapps file. The one linked in that article has the old, ugly prototype keyboard and has force closes up the anus. You can search this forum for better packages of the 4.2 Google Apps, but they are all still a little too buggy or incomplete for my tastes.
3. No need to flash a radio. CM will not overwrite your current one.

Hi guys
in my experience, the best combo is:
ROM: CodenameAndroid 3.5.0
Kernel AirKernel stable r2
the battery life is very good, there is no lag and with new ADW launcher, homescreen and drawer are very smooth

I wouldn't recommend JellyBlast because development for that rom has already stopped plus jellyblast is a banned rom, others may not help you when you encounter problems.
get BeautySense if you like sense ui (htc phones).
however, you may want to check out other roms out there
I tested alot of stock based roms and I liked hyperion 8 pre gm the most.
+jelly bean themed
+Transparency in some apps
+Stable (no statusbar fc or anything)

I was stressing on the fact that we don't know what you like or are interested in , so for example I like AOSP Roms (Pure Roms form google) which has been slightly modiied but you may like Touchwiz more than stock android

I suggest you to Try CyanogenMod 7.2 Optimized by Android-XDA. Thos rom is an AOSP rom. Hyper Light (65 MB = More space for user apps.) Then this rom is really fast and Smooth. I didn't checked if thos rom has Arabic support, maybe. However, i think it's possible to add it. Check this rom you will not be disappointed.
