Why not Juggernaut or Darkside? I've tried slickmod and it has an awesome battery life to it.

I say go Juggernaut or go stock debloated deoxed.
Tough choice there mate, i'm running slickMOD 2.4 but you really can't go wrong with either one. SlickMOD does have amazing battery life but its theme is a bit out there. I havent tries paradox but I hear its GREAT as well, nicely themed too
I have a kanged ics theme for slickMOD 2.4 if you go that route.

If you want fully working Beats and Xloud then come my way. As well as a slick theme and awesome performance.
I have the only ROM with fully working Audio MODs

Paradox. It's very cool

Paradox is far and away the best looking, digital warfare is the most functional. Since you're coming off DW, I vote paradox.
I'm currently running sickMOD v2.4 with the Phone Candy theme by appdroid. It's the first rom I flashed on to my SGII so I can't speak upon the other roms. I chose slickMOD over the others because the main factor I wanted in a rom for my personal use is longer battery life. Secondly is performance, stability, and reliability. I must say slickMOD is a definite improvement over stock. Also, the Phone Candy theme makes it looks clean & simple, very easy on the eyes. I planning on running v2.4 until there more dramatic improvements and such in later versions. So far i'm loving it!
Battery Life with less than moderate usage
Home screen with Phone Candy theme

Paradox no doubt. A lot of the slickmod stuff is copied. Now don't get me wrong, that's cool with me, but if you have to copy you probably can't code

With me it's either Darkside or Paradox and I frequently bounce back and forth since they are both GREAT. Currently running the best of both world with Paradox ROM and Darkside kernel

I have run both and here is my take. Slick mod is a patchwork of a bunch of roms. Put together nicely in version 2.2. Then, when it tried to develop further it took major steps backwards. Nothing really "improved" on it. Paradox is as smooth as you can get. Battery life is just as good if you know what you are doing and you have a dedicated seasoned developer with a "team" of other devs around that will push it better and better. I am not knocking the guy that put slick together, It is of my opinion that paradox is the better rom and has better support. I hope the guy that did slick continues because we all need to start somewhere and this should be a good liftoff for him.
SlickMod 3.4 has come, very cool ....
Both are Awesome...Paradox is a little prettier. Slickmod closer to stock. Both are very smooth roms.
Its up to you man......paradox is awesome so is slick mod......

I was running Darkside and switched to Paradox - follow the instructions and it is awesome. It looks great but the best part is how responsive it is. You can notice the difference when coming from darkside to paradox. Besides the smoothness and responsiveness the data speeds and gps lock seems snappier/faster.
If this post helped hit Thanks

So instead of complaining about not having enough roms, I thought would be cool to see what people are using right now. I look through the development forum and see that some roms are a little outdated and have no new comments... but that doesnt mean they're not being used. I might try them out if you guys vouch for them. So lets here it! I'm running on Beastmod 2 v3.6. I love the dark menus and all around blueness =D
CM7 and Team kang, i switch between both!!
my layout
Beastmod2 3.0 with some ics goodness here and there
Just switched from from g2with desire z hboot rcmx3d. And I'm digging this phone phone ...3 days into it I like. Waiting from some new roms to try ..
I would say beastmod with jugs kernel has been the best for me stable and unbelievable battery life
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
@Audi..I've had mine for just a few days too. I like your setup..looks good.
@Milena..do you have a link to that kernel? Mine only has slightly better battery life than my nexus s so I'd like to try something different
Best rom?
Stock rooted with bloat froze and the stock kernel.
Somehow everything magically works and it gets great battery life. Best of all though, you don't gotta wait for updates cause the thing works already. Lol

Great thread to start!
I'm on juggs. I tried best mod but when he left xda I just went to jugs and stayed. essentially the same. I can't wait till cm7 works with no bugs.
Which brings me to this question,
I'm going to attempt to port the MexdroidMod from the G2 over to the sgs2.

Ditto here.... It rocks and I'm loving it!
Ran Calkulin for awhile, now running Blazer, and will likely give UnNamed a go at some point in the near future. The two I've ran so far are excellent and fully capable of being a daily driver.
I'll probably settle in with something eventually. I like to try ROMs but I also like to spend some time with one, get to know it, whisper sweet nothings in its ear and touch it in different places to see how it responds.
This week it's UnNamed. Last week it was Venum, and the week before it was Starburst. I love them all and they've all been bulletproof. It's hard to pick a favorite when they all work so well and have such great support from the devs.

I am about to take the dive onto a ICS rom for my GSII but there are quite a few and I want to here your guyses opinions of which is best and why and which has the fewest issues etc, battery life and you know just the works in general. I am interested in ICS Perfection II, Darkside Evolution, Black Edition, T989-NexusMod, NexusMod ICS Zero Beta 7, ICS Megamix 4.0.3, and SKY ICS UCLD2. Any opinion is nice thank you
I skipped Sky due to the more involved install. But I've found them all to be very similar. They are all fast, 90% stable and none of them have particularly great battery life.
NexusMod requires touch cwm so if you don't want that, you can X that one out too.
But none of them are bad.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
I used the perfection one for a while, it was a bit buggy and laggy but overall it was okay, then i switch to the blackened edition it was all good in rc-6 no call echo, but 7 echo came back for me, and rc-8(Experimental) im using right now its pretty decent, but im not a big fan of the theme, i seen the darkside evolution one and im very inclined to use it even tho it's only a beta AND initial release if you read thru the comments everybody seems to be having a good time with it and no issues so far
Thank you both for you input and I agree I like the Dark Side look alot aswell

I just flashed it after trying Black RC8 Experimental. Both are fast as heck. Battery life is kinda blah like I was saying so I'd keep a charger or spare battery around.
But in terms of stability and speed its solid.

Why did you not like the Black Edition one?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I'm just testing everything for the heck of it.
Main difference is Black has AOSP Lock screen but not 14 toggles. And Darkside has the toggles but no AOSP lock screen.

What lockscreen does it have if not the ICS one?
I dunno but it doesn't have the built in music controls and it doesn't have the camera or home screen wipe choices. It just unlocks

It has the ICS touchwiz unlock screen. Not as good as AOSP imo.
As far as ROM's, My GF's GS2 is using perfection and hasn't had any problems at all.
I went with SKY ICS for mine. It was more work to muscle through, but for me it was worth it due to the customization options. Works really well.
I had Nexusmod for a day, and it was good too, but had a glitch where it would tell me "Swipe to unlock" on the bottom of the lockscreen evn though it was AOSP.
I reccomend Apex launcher with them though.
I want to know what your favorite rom is for the Epic 4g Touch and why?
Currently my top favorites are
CyanogenMod 9
Android Open Kang Project
Miui v4
These aren't in order

This is for everyone I wanted to know what your favorite rom is and this for people that are new to rooting and roms.
This thread is NOT a good idea. Soon it will be an all out flame war. These threads never last.
Lets say this much....Everyone has a favorite rom....Just because one person likes it doesnt mean another will. I recommend flashing ALL the roms to get a feel for what you like. Each rom has something unique to it. All of our developers are great. Give each rom a flash
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
All roms have their ups and downs. I like cm9 the most.
blazer seems to be the most popular so far. Im kind of in between roms. been flashing a lot lately, but nothing has fit just right like blazer did a few months back.
i got a taste of the ics and i cant go back tho currently on calk 1.6 with kobridge 3.3 tweaks
Agree with ReActiveDisorder, each ROM is different and each user likes different things. Just try some and find what you will like.:thumbup:

Have to agree with Reactive here.
OP...... just flash away man. Thats half the the fun of all this. Try out all the ROMS you want. Find out which one u like the best and stick with it.
Read up on some threads and OP's. Find out what features each ROM offers and go from there.
Its really that simple. Everyone will have there OWN opinion on whats the best..... and thats just what it is. THERE opinion, not yours.
Flash away man and just find out what YOU like.
Good luck bro.

Yep...... and how you say you ''personally'' look for stability and battery just backs up what I'm getting at.
Everyone has there own likes and dislikes about what ROM they prefer. Thats one reason why these ''what's your favorite ROM and why'' threads never seem to work out.
No offense to the OP...... its just the way it is.

Hi guys > I just took over my wife's S2 after i got her a One S - I have not rooted that one and it sucks ! i mean its really awesome but some software problems make life hard with it ... anyways ... was thinking maybe you guys could suggest a great rom for the t989 .
I'd love an ICS experience ... but i wouldnt mind anything that rocks ! i'm on Beast mod 4.2 ! talk about a ROM in the PAST !
I have to say it is really great and stable ! Simply amazing for such a long period !
I have tried a lot of roms the best to me has been slickmod 3.6 RC1. Its fast, smooth and the battery life is excellent and the the notifications are nice and loud. The only thing I don't like is the themed icons other than that I love it.

On this:
[ROM][ICS 4.0.3][TELUS] x :: DARKSIDE.TLLE4 :: x [6.10.2012]
And I have never seen a ROM that has has such great battery for myself.
Was just down to 28% after 27 hours of being off battery. I'm not sure if its because it has the Telus radio in it, but nothing has been able to compare prior, so I won't leave this unless there actually is a reason to.
Sirius 2.1
Although the ROM is not available on XDA, but it is my daily ROM. Tried most of the ROM since leaked ICS but decided to stay with Sirius. Still waiting for the chef to update the official version of ICS
You could find the ROM here:
