[q] fastest rom? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

which is the best ROM?
Which is the best ROM for this phone? I had a galaxy s epic 4g,, and I really expected a major upgrade on performance with a custom ROM. However,I have not found any majorly fast phones.any recommendations?

Hopefully a mod doesn't scold you for asking a comparison between ROMs. It's against the rules because it demoralizes new developers from well.. developing ROMs that people deem inferior.

Hey guys, just wondering which is the fastest ROM out there? Thanks.

How about cm10 or jellybean?
Guess we should abbreviate jellybean jb.

That would depend on what variant you got. Is it Verizon, sprint, or gsm. If you got Verizon Xenon HD with the glados kernel has been fantastic for battery life and performance.

almost all the custom ROM are unstable at the moment. I am using stock for now, but if you want custom ROM right now, I really like aokp black bean ROM. It's not hundred percent full featured, but it is quite stable

All ics roms for vivow have some issues. The question is do you want sense or aosp?
UKB is probably the best sense rom out right now. Sense 4, android 4.0.3. Smooth, fast, excellent battery. Camera fcs a lot for some.
For aosp, you have Kangdemnation or an older version of PA. PA is moving on to JB, but I think version 1.9.5 is ics.
Most of the problems are camera related, but many have been fixed. BT is another area of concern/ongoing development. Sound issues, too.
Search through the threads for these issues before you ask a question. Most of these threads are quite large.

If you don't feel the need for Ice Cream Sandwich, I use Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable for my "old reliable" It's much faster than stock, better battery life, and everything works 100% for me. Just my 2 cents.
I'm pretty much a rookie myself, and wanted the most stable ics rom I could get. The UKB looked great, but I decided to try tazz's ic rom first. It sounds like it should be stable too. I just flashed it earlier today, so haven't had much time with it yet, but so far it looks great. It sucks as much as everyone in that thread promised.
In my experience, Tazz's ROM is probably the number one out there right now. Granted, you're stuck with Sense but there are some devs out there stripping Sense away from this ROM and another one. Everything works out of the box (including camera which is huge for me), but like I mentioned, you're stuck with Sense and I've personally moved to Paranoid Android 1.5a which has CM9 as a base. Works pretty great, although my ffc pictures often show up corrupt/glitchy/garbled. Now to make more posts so I can have the privilege of commenting about this bug...

If u r on cdma then use UKB X, if on gsm use IC Tazz. Both the roms are very gud. I faced bootloop in gsm with UKB X and V.
otherwise ukb is better.
So I guess this shows my noobness, I'm wanting to root my wife's incredible 2 and not sure if she has cdma or gsm. How do I know/find out?
What's your carrier
Is it Verizon? If it is then its cdma.

Stock GB.
My wife is about as rookie as they get. I put her on IC-Tazz.

LOL yeah, that was an entertaining and informative thread!
I just stuck to the Aeroevan's CM9 07/12 build with v12 kernel (pretty outdated, but I don't use the phone anymore) and gave it to my mother. So far, she's loving it to the point where she's completely oblivious to the world when she's using an app.
I woild definitely recommend Aero's CM9 build if you want a speedy rom with mostly everything working (720p recording doesn't work sadly)
But if you want an extremely stable ROM, then go for Tazz/Mac's IC Tazz ROM and have fun with the suckiness of the ROM. XD
I woukd also recommend Nit's UKB just because it's a treat and its packed with lots of Sense 4.0 goodies.

Apparently I've gone flashing-crazy (I blame upgrading to TB Pro :laugh: ) and have also tried UKB V and can now recommend it too as rookie-safe. The only problem is I'm having so much fun trying out new roms, I'm now finding myself searching for other roms to play with...

If intravenous is a new recovery option, I'm all for it! :good: Would that mean if I stopped flashing lots of roms I'd be a recovering recovery addict?

Same here, FreeGS3 was the first and last ROM I've flashed . I tend to stay away from AOKP and AOSP builds since they sometimes have jitters and instability problems... I'm picky lmao
Might switch to Warm when it's out or switch between the two..

I'm rocking the latest stock jellybean leak until some good jellybean touchwiz roms come out. Although i miss a few aosp features, i don't think I'll ever leave touchwiz. I started liking it on the S2 and i think I've fallen in love with it on the S3.

Why would you recommend a rom that's not meant for our phone(sprint)? Flashing a rom not meant for our phone can cause serious problems.

Well I would love to see an update with that rom! And remember that its a tw rom so you have to do it with ICS. But why should I vote if you wanna make it or not! That is up to you to keep on.

Thank you. Have you tried this kernel yet? In your opinion is this the best kernel for CM9 and our device or are you using JB like most of everyone else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
no offense, but it takes about 30 seconds to flash a kernel. Why don't you try a few and see which one works the best for you? Everyone's experience is going to be slightly different.
I flashed two different kernels before picking one, and after that I added some init.d scripts afterward that improved battery life over the stock kernel settings.

Unfortunately for your situation I am using JB like the rest because I find it more up-to-date, but I have heard really good things about the kernel I posted. Plus, with a title like that, who wouldn't flash it?

I would rather have stability than bleeding-edge any day! Contrary to my claim for the need of stability, I am going to give MIUI a shot. I tried it out when I had my G2x but there were some bugs that made that rom unusable as a dd for me. Hopefully my experience with MIUI will be much more pleasant with the S2!!
I'll flash the kernel later and see what happens. Even though I'll be giving MIUI a test run.... I always end up going back to Cyanogenmod. Always!

I'm very disappointed to hear that! MIUI is so sleek and sexy! Why is it so damn hard to get working? ... or is there just a lack devs for that ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
When I was running MIUI my only problem was not being able to shut off the capacitive lights. I had no problems with bootloops or anything of that sort.
I get bootloops and/or camera crashes with the latest JB MIUI and horrible call quality on my end with the last ICS based MIUI. It's odd that the call quality is fixed with the JB MIUI and busted in ICS, should be the other way around lol.
