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:

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!!

Way to resurrect a thread from last year that should have been closed.

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

[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 rom but I will try latest Rocket Rom.

Stock rooted.

What kernels do you use with stock rom? Chanfire?

Stock Unrooted.

Stock rooted for me too. And I don't see any reason to flash another rom as the stock one is fantastic.

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.

[Q] what rom are you running? dd?

hi all. just wondering what roms are stable and dds. im not new to flashing just new to the sg4. once rooting and flashing rom what functions might i lose that i should be aware of? just looking for a reason to froot and flash lol. thanks

Everyone has a different opinion, I prefer TW roms, I have used aosp roms for years, but rom of choice now is TW roms, Omega 7 is a complete error free rom.

Running CM10.1 Nightly builds. Been running very very well for almost two weeks now. Just today's build 7/5 seems possibly broken. Other than that very stable.
I previously ran Goldeneye. My favorite stock based ROM. Used it will CM10.1 was ironing out bugs.

as seen above, these types of threads tend to get shut down.
research and try. thats the best way to determine the best rom for YOU
cheers

Goldeneye 3.0 is great, i prefer touchjizz, is why

just the stock rooted ROM with Nottach's exposed mod.

What beerdroid said. But I'm running bean stalk with the marla kernel. But don't flash that on your device.

Im using the Google Edition ROM posted in this thread:

I never use probably 95% of all the extra stuff Samsung puts on the GS4, and I love the clean pure operation of the GE ROM. Once you go pure android, it's really hard to ever go back. It is really amazing how much smoother and lag free the GE rom is.
But if you do prefer a TW rom, I would recommend Goldeneye, which is based on the latest Euro release.

Mint Jelly, TW based

PS; soz for the bad grammar but 2AM in the morning :c

try and decide, no recommendation for rom, kernel,....

whatever you choose- I would not recommend using roms based on CM..
its still new and includes CRITICAL PROBLEMS (camera, FC's ect..)
I didnt like omega like you, and also tried Phoneix rom. However, this rom hardly gets updates (since the developer doesnt own the device) and i found this rom slowly..
Im using crash rom. fast ,smooth and good battery life.
I am using presus kernel. I find this the best kernel for now.

Thread closed as it will turn into a Best ROM thread.

[Q] Need help choosing a rom

Hey guys,
Sorry for the noob question but I wanted to hear some of your opinions on this.
I got my Note 9005 shortly and after finally getting the Network to work, I decided to flash CM11 for now. I love CM11 but for a phone like the Note 3 which has an insane number of cool features, its not the best.
The problem is, I would use the stock rom for all the features but I absoloutely hate Samsungs UI and with the trouble ive been having with Odin, I thought id ask if there was a different rom I could use?
Is there some sort of alternative to the stock rom which:
1) I can flash with recovery
2) Has alot of the stock rom features
3) Does not look like a child made it (sorry to people who like TouchWiz)
I hope someone can help.
Thank you!

Better go for heavily themed roms based on stock rom

Hi, i have read it. Why dont you try some AOSP ROM: C-rom, Cacbon Rom

Carbon rom looks good but im more looking for something that takes full advantage of the Notes features not just Androids customizability.

If you really like "features" you may want to try a stock based rom like Omega or XNote
