Hey guys I ordered a gs2 and I'm coming from a g2x I'm just wondering what rom and kernel are you using? I just want a broad idea of what is very popular here. Ill eventually try them all but I want to start off with a very popular one.
If you're interested I'm on tsuigi rom and variation of faux kernel for g2x
I had the g2x on cm7 and fauxs cm kernel.
Now on this baby juggernaut with fauxs kernel.
Trust me... You will be satisfied. Check out. The various themes you can flash on as well.

eagles blood atm, 15hour moderate use(mostly browsing).. this is the most stable rom around here imo..i've tried bombaridier but that crashed my phone like 3times..
Came from the G2X and was running WeaponG2X before their ugly unicorn logo, lol.
Now I'm using BeastMod 4.0 with Fauxs' kernel .06. Great combo.
BUT all the roms we have are great, just try them all.
Powered by the SGSII....
Definitely use BeastMod 4.0 i came from a g2x also.

I tried Bombardier + synergy for a week and the battery life was not that good.
Now I'm on juggernaut + bullet and it is great!

Came from a G2x. Running Juggernaut with faux's kernel. Had also run Beastmod. Both were good but I like my current set up.

So ive been bouncing around from rom to rom and I'm wondering wat rom is everyone using as a daily???? .. I'm a prime XL Guy and love tha rom as my daily but the battery life is way better on cm7 with tiamat or savaged ... trying to find the best rom/kernel combo for battery life... I love sense for the bells and whistles but love asop because of the battery life.... hmmmmm.. decisions decisions....
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
MIUI. It's pretty, has nice built in apps including an awesome theme manager (no social networking though, if you're into that), and you still get great battery life. It's not bloated, but I find it to be the intermediate between Sense and your typical AOSP roms. I've been running one version or another of it for almost a year.

My custom made cm7.2 kanged and compiled from source is my daily now, prior to that was my own modded version of decks 1.3 for sense mikg 3.0 or the classic and ics my compiled and frankensteined cm9 I have it on my evo and my kindle fire
We are legion, for we are many
I've been running the express beta for about a month now. Fast, relatively bug free, and I can get 2 full days out of my extended battery.
Edit: and it has 4G, wouldn't run a ROM without that...
Thanks for the replies.... I've tried the classic v005 and like it a lot... even tho its sense 1.0 it works.... was going to try the final RC mix rom from Jan 24th with the anthrax kernel v4 and see how it goes .. hopefully I get great performance as well as battery life.... since I'm a heavy user lol

Galnet Miui on desire HD. I flash the weeklies. Always wait a few days though. Sometimes a weekly is bad.
Which are fully functional? As in no real issues separate from stock? I'm having trouble sifting through the tons of WIP ICS roms and older closed threads. Which have no real issues? Thanks guys.

If you are referring to ICS Tom's only, then none currently. They are all 99% functional though. There are some minor issues that need to be resolved and will likely not be resolved until more leaks out or T-Mobile releases some juicy code. If you are ok with some little things to be a little wonky, go for it. I advise to look for the Tom's that are constantly being updated. Since the skyrocket leak the rom world has exploded for the t989. It is only getting better and will continue to get better and more refined as time goes on and more bugs get squashed. Looks like the least buggy is blackedition but by tomorrow another may be less buggy with someone else's next release...!

-Mr.X- stock tweak where perfect for me .
[KERNEL] Synergy v0.10 [CK3+, Autogrouping, OC, UV, BFQ, BLN, OTG]
[ROM] Telus SGH-T989D Stock, Rooted, Lightly Tweaked, 100% [CIQ Free]
Only trouble for me is the echo while calling but maybe not related at all with the ROM itself. Give it a try it wont bite.
I have tried them all, and by far the EasyDoesIt GB2.3.6 rom has given me the best results.

Prior to ics, I was running Malice. No problems at all, fast with consistent 16+ hours on battery.
For ICS, EasyDoesIt GB2.3.6 rom wins by a landslide. Raverx3x just dropped an update for his twiz rom which I have yet to try, but I'm content with EasyDoesIt. Using it as my DD with absolutely no flaws except for auto rotate but who needs that with our huge screen?

Could you get Pdroid working on this ROM? I tried and it failed
The rom i have right now that seems to work fully is the new Malice 2 ROM that has been updated on April 2nd. The update made it even better and i installed darkside kernel into it because it actually comes with faux kernel but darkside is by far the best imo...and under clocked it to 1404. Everything works even the sending MMS thru wifi. I have 67% battery life right now and my phone has been on for almost 7 hours with average to moderate use. Try it its one of the best Roms out right now. Its not a ICS rom but its close to 100% working though.

I'm rocking calukins 3.0 gb rom with the gunslinger 1.4.0 kernel. I've been changing up the modem with the new FD releases but for a while i used either EL13 EL29 or FC22 and with those three I was getting amazing battery life. Right now I'm running the same set up but with the FD05 modem and I'm getting a full day with 3 or more hours screen on time and it still has some juice when I plug it in at night. The GPS lock on FD05 can be funny so I'm going to be trying out FD10 and FD16 the next few days to see if the battery life is as good but better GPS lock. Speeds are amazing with the FD modems in my area, these latest modems are feeling very very solid! Good luck and happy flashing buddy

I'd definitely give this a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449023
Was on it for a long time, but I'm now on the ICS ROM from the same developer.
It has a bunch of flashable add-ons/mods, already themed, includes the Lockscreen settings, great battery life and very stable.
UnNamed was my favorite and I didn't want to switch until I gave that ROM a try. Needless to say I loved it and couldn't go to anything else because it had everything I was looking for in a ROM.
Blazer is my favorite with the sherbert theme.
And of course calkulin's !
They're very similar though. I'm sticking with blazer 4.1 until OTA ICS

i was running Caulkin's E4GT 3.0 ever since it came out and I loved it. I just recently flashed tFD19_v0.1.0 Rooted. Odexed to check out the whole ICS realm and I kinda like it. I'm still getting used to the interface and it's still missing the hotspot services, but I've been managing with wifi tether. This rom runs pretty smooth so far and I haven't seen any random restarts or errors. with tFD16 I was getting random pauses and apps closing, but so far this rom is running nicely. I have not encountered the notification problem that other people were talking about and with the FD19 modem, my connections are really stable and fast. The new tweaks on tFD19 actually greatly increase the battery life from tFD16 and it is so much faster than tFD16. Also included in this rom is the ICS launcher to run the ICS theme AND the twlauncher if you find the ICS launcher too new and confusing.
for tFD19

I still recommend a NAND backup before trying this rom out and it flashes through the Rogue CWM nicely
My favorite roms at the moment are Blazer rom and UnOfficial ICS rom.

I'd say the ROM doesn't particularily matter in regard to battery life. As long as you have a rooted rom, your best bet would be to use a CPU tuner to underclock your device using usage profiles for maximum battery life.
For gb i found juggernaut and synergy. Ics kernel development is underway though so we will find out soon enough. I believe tdj released his tmobile build with venom kernel.

TDJ roms
I have tried so many roms and always ended up installing/restoring TDJ roms.
either GB or ICS, his roms are always fast, functional and smooth daily drivers IMO.
you can't go wrong with TDJ roms. give it a try.
I suggest juggernaut for gb. It gave me on average 16-19 hrs of battery life. Darkside is really good to for ics. Although for me it hasn't given me such great battery as juggernaut. BeastMOD 5.0 is another one that in my book give the BEST battery life. I could go more then a day with moderate use.i miss it:/ lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Any of the CM7 based roms by Eugene or Beastmod 4.0 by Melvin.
Its very subjective based on your phone, kernal used and how you use your phone. I have seen the best battery life with TDJ roms and now recently I am running Chimeria vs Hercules and batter life is pretty good.
