cyanfox

what are people using and what are people finding to be the most reliable for daily use so far?

This sounds a teeny bit like a 'best ROM' thread...
I would suggest that you install them and try them out for yourself. That is the whole point of XDA after all isn't it?

I understand what the author intended by their post but all the 4.4 ROMs available have a description listing the features. Also most builds are still WIP so many features are unavailable until further progress has been made. I'd suggest either waiting for a while until the devs release new builds with more features or try Pound ROM as it has quite a few features and offers a pretty close stock KitKat 4.4 experience while CM 11 is more of a mix of CyanogenMod and KitKat.
Whatever you decide, once you've tried out KK, you won't want to go back to JB!

Not everyone has time to flash roms and see which ones work best..I for example have monthly quota on my internet and I have no plans on downloading every available rom..so this thread is useful and helpful afterall..
nice to see
Well its nice to see our beloved s2 having continued support!
Also would not be surprised to see an SC-02C (japan hardware variant, 99% similar to i9100 - no fm radio, digital tv tuner instead) cm11 rom soon from the kbc-developers people at http://android.slateblue.tk/
They usually maintain a low profile until they have something ready for release.
been using the 24 build of pound rom for the past day and have had almost zero problems. Phone very fast and stable. All basic features are their and working. Battery drain is basically the same (for my experience) as was with 4.3.1 roms.

.........and its turned into a best rom thread; if it didnt before.
Great thread, we were always missing this open discussion about experiences of different people about different rom and if xda is not place for it, then what?
Out of kk roms, I believe, Pound is most advanced featurewise for today. Battery life as usual for new, not sharpened rom. It's too early to make conclusions about battery in kk. Lets wait for official cm11 nighties and then speak about battery. The main feeling of three different kk roms that I personally tried are very good speed. Developer of Pound rom indeed mentioned that he will change device but It will take some time for him and after all he might keep the rom up till official cm11. But in any case, he can pass development to someone else if it will be feasible. At least he's not hiding his plans and does not disappear as MCM did. Well, I still keep the mcm's rom in case he will remove his files from sourceforge. Well, one this is great about kk and already noticable - speed.
Which one is the most AOSP ie. with minimum amount of extra features? If I read the ROM threads correctly, Carbon and Pound are somewhat based on CM and Omni and CyanFox are based on AOSP but also have tweaks from CM. (please set me straight if this is false)
I understand that no one can say what's the best ROM (I've tried the ROMs someone said was "THE BEST") but I'd like to be able to discuss and compare them. Now I'm using stock based ROM (had problems with MMS messages on CM) but I'd like to try "plain" Android to see if my old SGS2 can get some more battery time
Any recomendation for a custom KK rom? First it was only one, Wayland, now are more and i don't know what to choose.

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.

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.

Won't take long to CM10-4.2 get released. I guess 4.2 uses the same base and stuff, so won't be a problem. Still, I may stick with Samsung. I love CM10 but not CM10 for i9300. Colors doesn't look good, laggy and a lot of random bugs.
Looking forward to it. Unfortunately cm10 on i9300 is beyond the team's control . If Samsung took their thumbs outta their asses and start releasing the RIGHT source and docs for Xynos, we might actually get somewhere. Its a miracle we've come this far without it.

I see a lot of people comment that Touchwiz ROMs run more smoothly than CM based builds. This is exactly the opposite of my experience. I find the Cyanogen team's work to be second to none, which is remarkable considering they're volunteering their time.

With the CM vs TW ROM debate, is there one Vanilla ROM that you think proves that theory that they run smoother and faster because I'd love to test it if there is one. I've always also felt that TW runs smoother? Maybe I'm wrong. Is LiquidSmooth a good example?

I think that comment probably did that more than anyone else's. I think it's a perfectly valid part of the discussion. I'm not suggesting we sit here and go back and forth on ROM names. But I'll ask my question in a different way. What is it about the AOSP release that's out there now that isn't working well that will be improved by this 4.2 release? Ultimately, this isn't about one ROM base vs another it's about whether AOSP can be made to work bug-free with the I9300 hardware, isn't it?

I believe it's also to do with what new FEATURES have been added to the new AOSP release and less to do with how much stability it will add (since that is dependent more on Samsung releasing the source than what AOSP has to offer in terms of stability).
Some of us would like to make use of the new features of 4.2 and not have to wait for an official Samsung update.
Having said all this, at the end of the day, that's my point of view and I don't expect everyone to agree.

Hi! Some of you may know That MIUI started to post 20 MIUI V5 unofficial builds and one of those phone is our galaxy s2 and I'm one of the Beta testers and. The build is based on aosp and the latest MIUI V5 3.3.22. So soon we can all wait for the official build the unofficial build is stable with little lags and minor bugs. But no stock MIUI or stock Samsung camera only the AOSP camera.
So here is my MIUI thread to see some screenshots and list of bugs. :laugh:

Yes the battery is better and the camera also, but I see that the battery is very good on this build and don't forget this is unofficial it mean that MIUI didn't ported this. So don't worry the official beta build will be on stock

As for the guy above me. All unofficial miui builds are aosp while official is Sammy based
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.

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.
