best custom rom

i am looking for a custom rom for my sgs2 but dont know witch one feeds my needs. looking for one close to the original one but with lots of tweaks en add ons in it like battery mod and extended menus. whay do you guys suggest?

Try cognition 1.5 it's quite close to stock with lot of additions like advanced power menu and tweaks. Definitely a rom to try.

Don't listen to them, just stick to samsung firmware... all custom rom are not stable and they release just for market testing.

Are you serious no roms are stable? How many have you actually tested?

Yes serious bro, not stable enough... i try many of them.
1) slow in viewing photo and internet.
2) battery usage not stable
3) will not be able to do multi application
4) ...

Try DarkyRom2, very close to stock without any unecessary tweaks. Running perfect without any issue and great battery life with Speedmod kernel t27

never had any of them troubles with leomar perhaps you have been trying the wrong roms mate
leomar is stable , has great battery life , can be customised greatly via themes/mods/patches as one wishes via his application , offers great support ive dontated 3 times his support is so good and is generally an amazing piece of work where he listens to users and trys to offer what they want
i have tried a few others but just found leomar to be a great dev and his rom to be top notch stuff
check it out

thumbs up for LeoMar Revolution ROM.
he is also one of the most helpful and active devs here.

Thx will try some of those and see wat is best for me

Check for yourself here and here. Check for yourself, or see what people said in other threads.

Leomar Revolution is the best rom I've used.
stable, A LOT of themes, very easy to use configuration app

im use criskelo v14 on my sgs2 and for me its the best rom

litening v5 with ninpheta 2,0,5 rock steady...
no problems what so ever.
nice and long battery life, fast browser
nice launcher coming with it.
no wipe rom it is simply a nice and stable rom
Thank LitePRO

I sense the problem you have may be in fact user error rather than the ROM being unstable. Which ROMs did you try that weren't able to "do multi application"?

CM/AOKP performance, issues and stability

Hey guys,
I want to buy either a xperia z, htc one or a find 5.
I like the find 5`s hardware the most, but ive heard some bad things about the overall performance and stability of the find 5.
No matter which of the phones ill buy in the end, i will run CM or AOKP on it, most likely the pac rom. Under this rom, will there be any huge differences in performance or stability between these three phones? Are there any issues (camera?) ill only get on the find 5?
thank you very much

If you're going to out cm on them, then go for the Find 5. The stability and performance issues are on stock firmware. Project firefly fixes those issues

Yep like Osmo said, if your gonna run CM on it this is the phone to get. If for nothing else, the warranty doesn't get voided via rooting or flashing.

Thanks guys, i have just ordered one, would have hit the thanks button if i`d found it

CM fixes a bunch of things that is not perfect on stock firmware. The only downside to CM is camera quality, audio fidelity and the lags that start happening after about an hour from boot. Firefly is still in beta but fixes the lag in comparison to stock, fixes the heavy battery drain, and some other things bit it adds a bunch of little neat eye candy stuff

I found it and tried it and came back...
First off it amazingly beautiful. It goes hand in hand with this phone, it silky smooth and the battery is way better.
However there are some bugs with Gmail and your contacts don't sync. Period.
I WILL wait for the final version to come out and will go back!! It's just a beautiful huge UPDATE.

I am on stock rom rooted with dor. Kernel
I want to flash a rom lg based ofc but i want the same battery life and the most stable out there with no force closing and lagfree hopefully

So if you know a rom that can provide same battery life with no lag or bugs or forceclosing pls advise
I dont want to mess up my new phone with flashing a lot of roms and trying this and trying that
So if anyone can help me, pls do.

Hi, can't give you specific rom. Right now I am using the rom and kernel combo you said, so far so good with performance antutu 37900+.
What I can tell you is that, you can play around because you can always go back to stock unrooted. Just read properly and follow instructions.

Can't remember on top of my head which ROM was but I got 15+ hrs screen time, no FC whatsoever even though I got it from Apple Appstore. Also I can run any Windows executable file on it. It's superior!
That's the most stable ROM I got.
Again, it is based on my experiences

Best ROM for battery life and performance?

Last time I ever flashed a ROM or participated in this was about 3 years ago. I'm pretty fresh to how this works and all but i still remember the gist of it. I just got my nexus 4 and am hoping to make it better

ROM will be pretty much irrelevant. The vast majority are AOSP based, with the differences being visual tweaks and added features, which add little, if any, drain on the battery. Some features, like pocket mode, might drain a bit more, but it's up to you to use them. All will run smooth as butter, stock. It's things like live wallpapers, excessive widgets, and apps running in the background that'll cause lag and stutters.
Custom kernels can help with battery life, but it's a small percentage, and it depends more on how you use the phone. A wakelock detector app plus Greenify can keep your phone from constantly waking and syncing, and that helps battery life a lot. And of course, screen brightness is the biggest battery killer of all.

Well if you want a really smooth and battery friendly rom, I'd recommend the L preview.. If you want a Kk rom I'd recommend liquidsmooth as it's feature packed and optimized really well. I personally have used both and right now use LS with Unleashed kernel.. It's a great combo. But in the end you gotta try out doff things to see what you like

Well I doubt you would be able to even install an ota update of the official L.. You'd have to probably flash a new rom based on it or flash the factory image once it's out.. I'm sure rooted base roms of L would come out within a week of the release so you could flash that.. But if you want the ota, then you can go back to factory image 4.4.4 after release of L and get the ota after.. But no root.

Wich rom are you using?

Mahdi and AK v77 on my new Bamboo OPO. On my OB OPO I ran all Lollipop builds bit nothing has enough working features like KK.
I tried:
Temasek, BlissPop , and Darkobas, each has their advantages, but I want my editable nav bar... To which I still can't get...

Temasek is awesome. But the only thing that drove me off CM12 builds are the Bluetooth volume control. Once you go to 70%, it will keep increasing in the background and the audio gets all distorted. Being a person who keeps his bluetooth on all day, I'd prefer to listen to my music blasting out and a nice, fixed, clear way - rather than having my ears blown to smithereens.
One more thing. I reverted back to 4.4.4 because of the plethora of working features. I don't want to be chasing waterfalls and always update to the latest ROM because of being new. I bought this phone because I like the potential it had on stock, and wanted to get the most out of it from a custom ROM. Mahdi was the way to go. Until I feel Lollipop is an upgrade rather than a downgrade, in features, I won't go back on my Daily Driver phone.
I may flash the odd Lollipop rom on my black OnePlus though. Keeping my bamboo one free of issues first.

I use my own ROM ;D

Pretty much same situation as nicholaschum, running mahdi and ak until there's a more feature rich version of lollipop available. Probably euphoria since they're the same team that worked on mahdi.

I was using euphoria builds on and off but the dev here had an attitude publish so that's put me off using it and also CM gets far quicker fixes and there is something satisfying about doing your own builds as well.

I'm on rooted CM 11s waiting for BlissPop to iron out some little glitches.
