I just got my s2x and looked at the rom section and they all seem good but cant tell which one is the best.
Looked at beastmode, bomba and juggar. Which one do you guys think is the best?
Only one way to find is try them all out for yourself. Me personally, I use juggernaut and love it. But that's just me haha. It won't hurt try em out.

I've been trying them all for the past week. I think Bombaridier V.2.0 is the one to keep: very fast and has amazing data speeds. Still trying out the battery life.
I doesn't have Google Talk Video cooked in though.
Ive been using stock (bought the phone last thursday) and its been amazing. Especially after disabling TW and most of the tmobile bs, this phone has been flying.
And my battery life has been phenomenal. unplugged yesterday, at like 6:00am when i got up for work, and went on all day until 11pm at night and still had 15% left.
That sounds like mine! I love the battery life on this thing
Completely stock - not rooted yet - 1d15h battery life every day, and I charge at 10%. Moderate use through the day.
I switch ROMs daily, I still haven't found my daily driver. I have been most happy with Bombaridier because of the speeds. I'm back to Juggernaut now to test out the 1.6 release. Definitely invest in something like Titanium backup if you're going to be switching ROMs a lot, it'll save you a ton of headaches.
Try Hyperdroid with one of the sergions.Batterylife rocks!
Im using pongsters transparent sergion atm.
Uplugged the phone this morning at 7:00am receiving exchange email via push the whole day.
Listening to music for an hour.
Some calls,whatsapp,facebook etc and now at 00:30 at 58%
Moved arround allot too like cm7,darky rom,villain but this one seems to be stable and battery life is good.

Honestly all the roms we have are all good. It comes down to personal preferences.
I like how BeastMod is themed so that's what I rock.

Glad I saw this thread. I'm new to messing around with Android, but I'm always eager to read and learn. Right now, I'm using a stock debloated ROM and just playing with themes. The stock ROM had been perfectly suitable for me and I'm not left wanting...but I do get curious about the other ROMs.
I understand that its a matter of personal preference and the only way to know which is "best"for a person is to try them out.
However, could you educate a beginner on what sort of practical differences to look for in each ROM? That is to say, if one of you experienced members were to flash a new ROM, what things do you pay particular attention to?
I've always found that it helps in the learning process to know what you're supposed to be learning, so I'd like to have an organized mind as I explore.

There are lots of things to look for such as..
Battery, smoothness, simplicity, mods, tweaks, themes, and I'm sure I'm missing some more.
For the most part Juggernaut has all the above along with BeastMod.
But again ALL the roms we have are GOOD. All the devs we have are amazing at what they do and my best tip for you is to try them all.
Stay at least 3 days with each one and from there you'll be able to decide which one fits you more.
I hope this helps.

heres how it is, ive only tried beastmod and juggernaut, so far beastmod was good, but once i tried juggernaut i was sold, its snappier, specially with the new bullet kernel, its speedy!
Beast Mod consistently holds me down no bugs reboots a lot nicer on the eyes without being excessive... I'm downloading 2.5 to give it a full shot
---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------
But I agree the best way to really know what you like is try em all and use it as you would normally some people love speed but don't care about battery and some do etc;
Like everyone says, kindof a preference thing....
In my opinion, juggernaut is the best rom atm, it has the most dev support and has the most advanced options right now.
I'm rocking the following and am quite happy:
ROM: juggernaut 2.6
Kernel: bullet 1.8
Theme: ICS theme (without installing system apps, just want blue taskbar and themes and not the somewhat crappy ICS launcher)
Launcher: LauncherPro with Custom made ICS buttons. (see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19247803#post19247803)
That said, bombaridier is smooth and clean, beastmod is unique and has an enthusiastic following.

Different processors.
This is my first android phone and i jumped in head first and rooted it the second day i had it and have since tried all versions of every rom so far. personally i think juggs has tons of potential but atm they are ironing out the bugs, good for customizing but dont post about a bug without a log of the error. bomba is stable and fast and lacks bugs, best daily driver at the moment. beast just feels like a kang of jugg. kernels to go with are all good right now. seems like jugg (or beast) works best with their accompanying rom, jugs. and bomba rocks with synergy, gonna try it with bullet today.
Ive been trying out a few roms here and there and when i first got the phone there were only a few now that the SGS2Epic4g is getting more popular i wanted to know users opinion about what they feel the best rom is me personally i prefer odex but i like themes so...there you have it

Not to sound like a prick or anything, but you have to consider that you are posting in a very opinionated forum, with a very broad question. That being said, I also believe everyone is entitled to said opinion SO....
I have to go with Calkulins Rom. I have yet to find a more stable Rom, and I check frequently. Couple that with Overstews ICS theme and you have a match made in Android heaven. Hope this helps.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy S II
Maddoggin's rom is great and very stable. There are a few themes out for it, two of which are linked in the OP for the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21060706
However, if you want an overwhelming support for themes then mijjah has you covered with his rom and the themes he ports and improves upon. It's also stable for me though others report issues.

I'm using the xplod ROM and even though it's still beta and has a few bugs I use it my dd. I've used pretty much everyone ROM and enjoyed them all, but this and the unnamed ROM seem to be the best. I just wish the dev for unnamed would come back. He did the same thing on the infuse 4g.

@Zoidpilot i agree with you about the opinionated part but thats what i think we need everyone's opinion because im pretty sure the new guys come here and wonder which should they try 1st or which is the best, like i did so let the opinions rain and i hope no devs take any offense
Blazer ROM. No doubt about it.
Have used it since v1.2, and current v3.7 has not disappointed me at all.
Caulks, 80% of roms are based on his.
I am currently on Blazer Rom, HAven't tried any others but love the ics look
Calkulin's rom is the base for so many other roms. Calkulins all the way
Seems like this is a pretty common question in the Q & A. And almost always, Calk's is at the top of the list.
If you prefer Odex and don't mind a very blue theme then you certainly want to try StrongSteve's ROM.
I 'm loving the Blazer ROM (ver. 3.7) so far. Stable snappy, great battery life and a cool ICS theme.

I haven't flashed every single rom out there. I was using stock + rooted only for the first few months.. and definitely nothing wrong with that if that's your thing. Just get rid of the bloatware and you should get decent battery life.
Having said that, I'm on BlazerROM 3.7 and my wife is on Calks 2.8.1 ROM. Just flashed both our phones last weekend. We're both happy with them so far and have no problems with GPS issues, hot reboots, freezes, ect. We seem to get about the same battery life too.. maybe my wife's is a little better since she's under volted a bit.
I would say nandroid and flash away until you find something you like. Its not hard to do and flashing doesn't take too long. You'll probably take longer downloading the ROM's themselves.. lol. But for themes, Blend ROM seems to have a lot of support
Can't really say better/best as I've only run 1 rom since about 3 days after I got this phone... calk's. I've since added steadyhawkin's gunslinger kernel, and overstew's ics theme, and have nothing but good to say about any of it. Fast, stable, great battery life, and I love that he keeps the rom pretty close to stock so you can dress it up the way _you_ want (which is helped by the fact it seems most themes/mods support it) or stay with a pretty stock/tw look if that's your thing.
Again, nothing bad to say about other roms, or even to say that this rom is better -- it's just the 1st I tried, and it's done everything I want so I've never felt the need to even try anything else (as of yet -- looking like that *might* be getting close to changing but that's a WHOLE other story ).
I'm using ICS Passion on my vibrant, nice stock 4.0 feel.

I'm going to have to go with Blazer 3.7. I found myself on Calkulin's for a while but I got better battery life with Blazer 3.7. I really like Phamtom's theme work with 3.7. Everything looks nice, runs smooth, and I like the toggle set up more than any other ROM or mod. I haven't quit trying different ROMs, mods, and themes, I just always seem to end up on Stock Blazer 3.7 because it's so "perfect" in my opinion.

Best Battery award I would have to give it to Calkulin's 2.8.1 - The Con is that I was having problems with deep freezes every couple days where I would have to reboot my phone and I would notice a little lag when opening the app drawer for the first few seconds. The freezing was most likely due to the undervolt and Haven't tried the other optional undervolts he has posted yet to remedy the Issue.
Best visuals I would have to give it to StrongSteve's ROM. That blue is straight eye candy!!! The con is that it was giving me worse battery life than I was use to on Calkulin's, but nothing really to complain about honestly. And I like how the keyboards was the swype with the dragon go option by default.
Best Rom so far award goes to Phantom Blazer in my book. This Rom ran the smoothest out of the three for me and battery life is very closely compared to Calkulin's 2.8.1 so far and looks very nice. My only request is that his swype keyboard had dragon go.
I'm a fan of UnNamed Rom.
Stable, fast, and long battery life.

I'm going to be flashing an SGS2 for someone I know and I was wondering what a good setup as far as ROM, kernel, recovery, radio is for stability and features.
They upgraded from a LG G2x running CM7.2 Nightlies so they have basic experience with custom ROMs, but they don't know all that extreme technical crap.
I'm thinking about Juggernaut because it has a lot of good tweaks and features or maybe CM7 since they aren't many thing on the non-working list.
Please reply with any helpful suggestions, I'm considering flashing an ICS ROM but I'm not sure if it would be stable enough for daily use.
Thanks
The ICS ROMs are suitable as DDs, so take your pick! Choose any of the T-Mo Leaks!
As of now, the kernels that come with the ICS ROMs are as is, so no worries there.
For Gingerbread, if you choose the Darkside ROM, it has a special kernel, made directly for the ROM, but you can still swap out for a different kernel.
With CM7, you can only use the kernel that's meant for it.
All other Gingerbread ROMs are customizable as you see fit.
I hope that helps!
Whatever ROM you choose, you can always ask more questions in its Thread!
I'd say
Dark side
Beast mod
Juggernaut
Not in any specific order
I'd lay off the ics unless your buddy is gonna update it often
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA
I think I'll go with one of those modified ICS leaks and stay away from the AOSP until it goes into RC quality.
Mostly from CM7 he liked the custom gestures, audio tweaks and such. He really just wants good battery to last a while and has zero tolerance for lag so V6 will come in good use. I'm a port dev so I'll be able to throw in the beats libs and dsp manager.
How is the battery stats on the ICS leak?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2
For ICS use [ROM][ICS] :ARKSIDE.EVOLUTION.2:: [BETA2 [UVLC8][WiFi CALLING][5.06.2012]. I run it as my every day ROM and its nothing short of amazing. If you don't want ICS use [ROM] Telus SGH-T989D Stock, Rooted, Lightly Tweaked, 100% [CIQ Free] with [KERNEL] Synergy v0.10 [CK3+, Autogrouping, OC, UV, BFQ, BLN, OTG] it gets crazy battery life but is getting old.
Also be sure to wipe your phone via [TOOL]:ARKSIDE::SUPER::WIPE[ext4][2.8.2012]

Personally, I'd take an AOSP GB build over leaked TW ICS builds. RC6 CM7 is rock solid stable with no real bugs and tons of customization. Every bit as smooth as TW ICS imo.

But the issue is he wants better than stock battery life and AOSP delivers the exact opposite of that. But I'll see what he wants between all this tomorrow. For most novice users that I flash roms for its about finding a perfect balance between performance, stability, and features. So in simple terms: Noobs always want everything to be perfect and don't understand the concept of how difficult debugging roms is.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2
Personally. I wouldn't flash any ICS ROM's just yet. There are a few apps that I use daily that doesn't work with any of the leaked bases.
The GB ROM's that I liked were Darkside, Revenge of Macnut, Juggernaut, and Tuesday.

been using juggernaut5 for over a month now.....had the phone for about 4 hours before i had it rooted and rom'd. juggernaut has been very stable for me and i'm on the verge of trying out one of the ics roms built with the t989 kernel from tmobile-either romchicago or darkside.evolution
OK,
They want stability, performance, and battery life and I've heard about some recent superbricks in ICS for the SGS2 and Galaxy Note. So I think the best option for now is to stay on GB and go with Juggernaut 5 + Beats, DSP, V6 + whatever custom kernel. Final Decision. Or maybe ROMChicago if they feel lucky.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/tibt5/heads_up_superbrick_bug_present_in_ics_leaks_for/
Now since this should be flashed as fast as possible I've been thinking about how Samsung has ODIN and you can make custom images for it, so if I could just package the CWM, System ROM, kernel, and Blaze 4G radio into an ODIN package. Flash it in like 2 minutes, setup V6 and be done with it.
I've been searching for some guides to create packages but most of them only show how to create it as a backup from the current ROM.
personally, i love M&S's roms, especially Bombardier. It goes super will with Synergy kernel v.10, the battery life and performance is amazing!
OK, Let me just say that I'm sorry for this thread but it turns out the actual phone is a stock SGS 4G running Froyo.
I thank you all for your input anyway.

On a closing note, Again I wanna thank everyone for their responses and I review and write guides for ROMs so what I learned here won't go unused. Plus I'm sure someone else I know will want a SGS2 flashed.
This is the ROM I flashed for the SGS 4G in case anyone was wondering.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402966
The phone got stuck in ODIN twice (guide didn't mention to uncheck repartition) and I had to use the one click unbrick to get into download mode again. At first I almost had a heart attack because I thought it need JTAG to fix. So thanks to the devs responsible for that tool.
Development for that phone is almost dead but if there's one thing I liked about the SGS1 series they had some awesome stock ROMs.
The most important lesson I learned is that using ODIN is like playing with fire: It does cool s*** but it can ruin everything.

Im new here. I just saw a closed thread asking what teh best rom is for T989. Ive used a bunch and can say without a doubt the Juggernaut and Slick Mod 3.4 is best.
Dont even bother with the ICS roms cause they all have really bad problems.
When installing appps they would not work right . The camera wouldnt work right on some.
The audio would echo on some.
The screen would be ugly on some.
So.
Try out the latest Juggernaut and the Slick Mod 3.4
I run Juggs also but this is subject is pure opinion. For example, Juggernaut is not the best ROM if you want to try out S-voice, since that only works on ICS. I hear all sorts of great things about Darkside as well. That thread was probably locked because there is no real answer to this question.
Juggs doesn't work well for me. I've installed it a few times over the last few months. No workie. TDJ's roms OTOH are flawless.
That said, the reason these best ROM threads are always closed is because its subjective and personal opinion. Just like the op. Pure opinion.

^-What they said and, this community is based around development. The only way developers can truly improve their "products" is if good people like us test it out for them and report back any issues. That is the point of all of this. If you are fortunate enough to dl a ROM and everything works beautifully from day one, GREAT! However, you should consider that the exception and not the rule.
Asking others to avoid newer ROM's or those that are still in development only serves to hurt the entire community by breaking the development cycle at it's core. Software development takes time and dedication to make things come out right and the testing/debug phase is arguably the most important. Enjoy your "functional" ROM's but keep in mind, they work as well as they do because of this phase.
best rom right now
Jedi mind trick ROM is the ****** lol go get it!!!
^ What he said...Currently running JMT v4 and liking it...a lot.
it's all a matter of personal opinion and preference. My first DD was darkside evolution 3v8. But once JB hit the scene I really haven't had a DD cause I'm enjoying helping the community in a whole to make better new roms for new experiences on our device. So in a nut shell, just dive in bro and enjoy the ride. It's well worth it!!!!
But then again, that's just my opinion as I stated from jump.

Ya know...best rom is in the eye of the beholder. I've used almost all of them and think that they all have their ups and downs. In reality that's something for you to decide for yourself. Its kind of like pepsi and coke. I like pepsi and you may disagree and like coke.

I'm using Jedi v.7 and I LOVE it. I was on Juggs for the longest time because I didn't feel the ICS roms were ready for prime time, but Jedi changed all that for me. It's butter smooth and Fast. Battery life isn't the best, but with such a responsive rom, I can sacrifice some batt life for performance.
Hello everyone,
first post since I got a Note 2... and I really like this phone... people seem to have a laugh at me since it is on a larger side, but then I have my own laughs when i see them trying to properly view web pages etc...
I have decided to go the custom Rom way, however, I would like some help.
I would like to have a decent ROM which gives good battery life and decent performance....my usage is pretty normal, email, Facebook, browsing, etc, not much games... so the ROM does not need to be performance oriented.
Any tips please on where to start... Tried searching here, but got a bit mixed up...
I like the stock looking TW Roms and would like Snote and the basic stuff such as calendar etc..
also which kernel would be suggested with this ROM.
Any help will be appreciated I know that I will have to try some ROMS to see which is best, however any help will save me a lot of flashing ROMS, kernels etc..... I know that usage is dependant on user patters etc, but some direction will be appreciated.
Many thanks to all...

been flashing many roms so far and all of them are good and yea battery life depends on your usage, before i use aosp rom specially slimbean, the only reason i use aosp because it doesn't have any lag for me, not for games but generaly everything. even i use stock and rooted samsung rom i got lag wheb browsing even just the settings when sliding it down and even the gallery and messaging, it's just a slight lag. but after trying omega v18 rom it doesn't have and im surprise coz i dont have to use aosp rom with some minor bug and now im happy using samsung custom rom with no lag and enjoying all stock features. so battery is not a problem really on our note 2 just pick whatever that gives better performance. but whatever it's your personal taste on what rom do you want.

cheers... will also try the ROM you mentioned... and thanks... it has to be a TW Rom ideally as i like the interface.... plus some of the samsung apps I use, so will to have those....
its normal to be concerned about battery life
amongst stock sammy roms the battery performance is also going downhill unfortunately, MG1 being the worst,
taking cue from tamirda i went for mf2 and the best one i feel was the chinese release, but it has chinese bloat and no play store,
its malaysian version is defintely one for keeps
me6 is also better than mg1
i like to root with cf auto -root and use xposed framework for customisation so i can stay on an odexed rom.....
tamirdas mf2 custom rom v13 will give a good combination of customisations, rooted deodexed experiences and battery life.
i wish someone would make a rom on the chinese mf2
i also love aosp and its looks and features but battery wise -- well im still testing with various kernel/rom combinations on 4.3
If you have a 7105. Then I'd recommend Jedi x17 with the newest saber kernel. Battery for me is better than stock. It also comes with nice eye candy and a lot of built in goodies.
But to each their own

nope have a 7100... if they make a version for the 7100 I will gladly give it a try..
@rraaka, thanks for your input... while i love the addons and various mods available, battery life is rather important as i spend a lot of time away from a charging point, and need to phone to serve as my office away from my office...

Only American 7100 I believe but the kernel may be different.
Check the rom thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987634
The kernel you can link through to from there also
Good luck
