trying to decide which rom to use, itll be my first EVER! .. what yall using? what yall like about its. i have an att version rooted. thanks! so far leaning towards power user edition rom, feel like clean rom is what i have already cause i debloated a bit or is there more to it than that?
Sorry but you must have got confused which forum you're on. This isn't the Galaxy s4 forum.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
What indicates that he was looking for an S4 forum? Both roms he mention are G2.
i wouldnt think theres much of a difference in the roms except some mods which you can add on yourself thru stock rom
These roms are early builds and dont contain much, im staying on stock for now.
Malladus 1.1.3
Pretty sweet so far. Although I dream of AOKP on this someday...lol

Hi, sorry if its been asked before but is there a rom that is close to stock android? If so which is it?
Thanks

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??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
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!

Lets see how many users are using Custom Rom , Stock Samsung ROM , MIUI or CM7....
Vote at your will.
Using my own custom sammy rom . I like to put my own touch to them lol. CM7 is ok but i find anything AOSP roms have flaws but props to the devs.

To be fair, stock would be the most used rom.

Heh, true that. I guess most people are just using stock roms, maybe with a custom kernel. This phone works fine the way it is actually, there are just some little flaws that can be fixed with a couple of hacks, and some colours which are a bit out place, but we have some nice themes after all.
Aosp roms are blazing fast tho, really unrivaled in terms of smoothness if you wanna play games...the problem with those is that they aren't 100% bug free as the ones i was using on my Desire, so i find it hard to use them as a daily driver for more than a few days every now and then on this particular phone.

Galnet MIUI ICS builds. Far better than anything else.

thats it

CheckROM with ICS syndicate theme work perfect for me!
You're going to get a biased result asking on xda, as its where people who like modding go. Most users will not know about xda or bother with custom roms and be using stock

im a little bit confused because i come from nexus one, where the biggest part use CM builds, but here there seems to be a more even distribution among users..... any special reasons?

I prefer Samsung custom roms because they are so freakin smooth. Excellent stock browser, I love TouchWiz and the launcher, superb camera interface, and an awesome video player app.
Hyperdroid all the way-official ROM of the 2012 Olympics.
You guys wants me to add more poll items for Custom Stock ROM ?
I'm trying out omega and liking it so far,
Reason why the large distribution is because really, the phone works as is pretty well. It just needs a few tweaks to get rid of that garbage late night battery full alert and a couple other things. Since most people are looking for stock + tweaks, there's a lot of different tweaks available.
WajkIUI... i hope the spelling is right.. excellent ROM

Is anyone using Custom Roms & Kernels yet?
The feeling of the stock ROM seems good enough for me at the moment.
(I'm guessing once i Root my replacement unit, I can uninstall the crapware to improve the performance more)
So, If anyone is using Custom ROM'S do you notice much difference between it and stock?

I'm waiting for more people together get their devices. Development is still slow since it's new and offers few improvements.
I'll probably wait a month or so.

I also pretty much have the same question as above, are any ROMS really stable at the moment?
Amazingly (after my horrid experience with the Asus transformer stock..) stock on this tab feels great.
I did root it though, just no crazy flashing yet.
Is cm10 stable and working?

Yup. It looks like stock rom is good and stable. I'll root later
guys which do you think is better stock rom or custom rom? I think custom roms like cyanogenmod performs better than stock and have much more features!
Stock=4.1 very good.4.2=Networks error,random reboots.

Csto custom RMS are everything great about stock, customized to your own needs and tastes
Frankly, its totally subjective. Some swear by stock, and some by custom roms. Then, others by only specific custom roms. The only real right answer is the one you decide for yourself after experimentation. So, start the journey, and enjoy. Youll know what you prefer in no time! Have fun!

I totally agree with this.
Personally I'm a fan of Cyanogenmod. Just straight Cyanogenmod for me but others swear by CM derivatives like Parandoid Android.
I say try some different roms out and see how they work for you. I did this and found myself going back to Cyanogenmod. Now I actually purchase android devices based on whether or not they can run it.
I like CM10.1 so much that I've learned to build it myself and make my own nightlies

I'm rooted but otherwise run stock. I like it. The vanilla Android is why I flashed custom Roms on my old Droid Inc 2 (because I HATED the Sense UI). And I get that vanilla style with stock.

Most popular seem to be FireNote and dynamic kk. FireNote seems to be a bit more stable with great speed and battery life. I have been averaging about 1 day 8 hrs with 6-7 hrs of screen on time. Dynamic brings the latest and greatest kit kat as well as some customization. It has some bugs but the developer has been great about updating and fixing bugs very quickly!
FireNote Powered!
I'm running fire note it's flawless
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Firenote is my choice. Best speed stability and long battery life on stock look. My everyday rom in Stock slot.
Alliance is for those who loves to customize. Endless customization possibility and great rom as well. It's in my slot 1.
If you like KK rom, dynamic is the best one out right now but there are a bunch of other great devs are pushing new one that are great as well.
You just have to try it out and see which one suits you best.

I'm on the same boat. On knoxraid KitKat but I don't know if any other roms have inverted (black) app and setting backgrounds. Simply a must have with oled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I've been using Dynamic Kat 1.3 after making the switch from Kn0xraid. So far I really like it. Might try out Fire Note as others are reporting good results.
Not quite the right thread for this request, but is there a mirror link still out there for the latest KnoxRaid add-ons?
Otherwise, I'm in the same boat. Itching to check out other ROMS. Anyone try the new S5 Experience ROM?
Looks promising.

I don't believe the Ron included gps fix but it works fine for most of the time. I would say I drive a lot using my phone as gps and 95% of the time works great. When I have error, I just turn off and on the GPS from quick setting and all works well again.

Thanks everyone for all the input. I think I'm going to give them all a try and see what I like the best. Main concern is battery life, speed and reliability.
I have tried the other KK roms and hate to say it but went back to Knoxraid.... Love the theme, and TW themes available in it too much.
Now to figure out how to build my own rom out of it and make it the way I want it.
I'm in the same boat as the OP and others here. But I went back to stock. Reason is because I got the new Gear 2 watch and saw many ROMs weren't working as well because they had features stripped from it such as Samsung Apps.
Any custom ROMs good with the Gear 2 watches?

Just Google Samsung app.apk download that and it will update to the latest, Gear will be fine after that with any ROM I believe.
