What's beastmod?

It's a ROM. You can find it in the Dev section if you scroll down far enough. It's based off 2.35 and looks like ics. It's stable and fast. Someone else installed it on my phone. I didn't look for a new ROM til about a week ago.

It really does depend on your preferences. If you don't want wifi calling there is not a whole lot of difference yet. It is not like the hd2 days where there were several completely different fully functional builds to choose from and several flavors of each. Things are just beginning for the SGS2.

I been using stock rooted, but every time I flash a custom rom I end up dealing with some really annoying bugs. I also hate the fact that every time I flash a custom rom I need to setup my exchange & yahoo email again and again. any easy ways of doing this with having to set up and install every single app I use? (I usually use titanium backup)

There is an easy way... just use gmail.... just joking..
I am in the same boat. I use 2 accounts on 2 different Exchange servers so I have to setup Touchdown every time I on install a new ROM. And I have 4 Android devices I use daily and have wiped each of them at least once this year.. I wish touchdown had a save configuration to sd card option..
I also have been wanting to install a custom rom on my s2 but keep hoping a 4.0 ICS will come out. I have it on my Asus Prime and Tab and would really like to try it on a phone..

The phone resetup does stink. The only way to know for sure that you are not causing your own bugs is to wipe flash the new rom and then re-setup the apps and accounts. I have had issues restoring my settings through titanium as well so I usually just redo it all manually. It is very disappointing when I get through that entire process only to find a bug I can't live with.
On the bright side I am really good at reentering my account settings, and I have greatly reduced the number of unused apps I have installed.

Anything that is based on 4.0.4, even stock. I don't find custom kernels to make a big difference in saving battery (my opinion).. as concerning whether u should root or not, it depends on what u want to do with ur phone and whether u're satisfied or not with stock. Users' needs and expectations differ, so don't let anyone make that decision for u.

Here is my opinion: Why would anyone buy an Android phone if you don't root it? I hate Apple as a company but even I admit that the iPhone is a great piece of technology that inspired all the Android phones. If you don't want to root your device, just return it and get an iPhone.
If you want bloatware gone (yes GN has it too), more customization, better battery life, and snappier phone, go ahead and root and customize. I did it manually, YMMV. I use AOKP and Franco's kernel.
I just ran into a problem when rooting. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed clockworkmod and then pulled the battery to reboot but it didn't wipe the phone so I'm not sure what to do
PS: Sorry for not putting this in the Q&A section but I just realized.

mate, u have to run a few full cycles of the battery to make an objective analysis, u couldn't have done that in the first 2 days u got the phone
I see no reason not to root. Yes it comes down to personal preference but clearly the OP has experience rooting so it shouldn't be that difficult, especially given that this phone was made to be rooted.
Personally, I'm rooted but barely use it for much. Mostly for free tethering and Root Explorer. I just like knowing I can do whatever I want, when I want and I can't possibly screw up my device...for the most part.

Hey. After I flash a new rom, the phone is super quick and respones very well. Buy after a few days, it starts to get laggy. When I am presaing the soft keys it takes a couple of seconds to respond, apps loading times can reach about 20 seconds, contacts loading too. I am using the GSM Gnex with CNA 3.8 rom and franco kernel r298. The lags occurred with XenonHD too. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining about the developers, I am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

Are you rebooting your phone or just leaving it on for weeks at a time?
I remember someone saying it has to do with the zram optimizations in roms and kernels. at first it makes things faster and the the idea implemented is good in theory but over time it makes things unbearably slow. i dont know the technical reasons for this, someone with more knowledge than me may be able to explain it.

Obviously downloading from the Play Store is using system resources (RAM, a % of the processor etc.) so a slow down is to be expected.
The phone restarting itself =/= to rebooting it regularly. Just like your computer you shouldn't leave it running 24/7. Sometimes you just need to give your phone a restart.
I think the lags are related to the heatcof the Gnex. Maybe the my cheap case makes it worse. I will check without case so it have more contact with the air. I will report the results.

I've noticed the same lag after few days. It's really frustrating to see your phone very fast and then kind of choppy....

It looks almost like a memory leak. (That was a big problem on exynos devices runing cm10). It happened to me today (latest nightly cm10), Once my free ram was less than 100 mb the phone became noticeably less responsive.

Yup u are right. Many people used to tell that Franco kernel is the best and stuff but even that after using for a few days gets slow whereas in stock all that crap doesn't happen. I still use Franco because games work smoother on it compared to stock. Even the battery life is inconsistent. Just try stock after weeks and Franco right after a reboot still stock will be overall faster and smoother.

On many phones I have stayed on stock for stability and feature set. In many cases when you go to another rom (especially AOSP) you lose TW features, S-Pen, etc... and in many cases I find not everything is 100%
That said the Note II development is fantastic. Many of the TW based roms give you everything you get with stock, but with more. AOSP you lose the TW feature set but it is amazingly stable and fast with a whole lot of other features.
With my S3 I could not find a single rom that I did not have problems on, but with the Note II I have a harder time deciding WHICH rom to use :good:

I agree with this guy. Even with my acer liquid mt when I rooted it and used the leaked gingerbread rom for it, the camera (which i use a lot got messed up and would over expose the pictures to white messes of garbage) and I noticed that after switching back to the normal stock rom with root, the camera would screw the video with red green and blue lines...gross I know...
And plus, just like my old ipod touch 2g (which doesnt work cuz the battery is dead. big surprise CRapple) it looked as normal as it should, but behind the curtain, the device was screaming at me to stop, every little tweak, hack, or anything I could do to the device. (Except install android on it because the project cut off 2Gs)
So what im saying is, its more fun to screw with the stock app.
Dont like the boatware?
Download a root app uninstaller.
Dont like anything about most devices?
Someone else doesnt like it either, and theyre smarter than you and figured out how to change that.

The same day I purchased my Note 2, I had it rooted and has TWRP installed on it. Day 2 I was flashing roms. I guess I just really like to tinker with my phones, because where was nothing wrong with stock!
C.FLAT, "I'm staying in stock to keep the slow motion video feature. And because CM 10's camera is really glitchy"
If you are that concerned with the camera features working why not flash a ROM like Scrosler's CLEAN ROM ATT SE. It made from ATT base. Completely stock without the bloatware. Everything works perfectly and you are not at the mercy of your carrier to recieve OTA's instead your at Scroslers lol. But seriously, I would much rather get/wait for updates from a DEV here on XDA (Where I can talk directly to the DEV and or people in the thread also using the ROM) instead of waiting for carriers to take forever and you can't directly talk to the team of people who made the Official ROM . So for me if you want stock look and feel with no bloatware and is more customizable than actual stock I would go with a ROM based or made from complete stock base. Just my 2 cents

I'm on stock cause I got no reason to be otherwise. Everything works as intended, and the so-called "bloatware" is in reality a complete non-issue.
I always run a custom ROM on my phones because of all the bloatware n such. But what is the need really to do it on this device? Stock android is smooth and does everything I need. Battery life is great too. So am I missing out on something by having a custom rom on this device? Convince me!
Well there are simple things that I like about custom ROMs.
I like trying new things. I also enjoy tweaking the various features that are available with most custom ROMs. There is expanded desktop and PIE controls which makes gaming full screen which is really nice. I don't know if you've ever been bothered by this but games always have the bar at the bottom of the screen which is annoying and gets in the way sometimes. Sometimes it is just nice to have a full screen to use even if it means losing some functionality.
To get rid of the google stuff.
Speed, battery life, expanded desktop, theming, tablet mode, etc.
I find it a little annoying that the stock kernel supports NFS, but they've arranged everything to run in a unique namespace so you can't make a NFS mount visible outside the shell where you ran the mount command. I don't really need NFS enough to want to replace the ROM, but I can imagine that being a reason to do so.
Pie
Quiet Hours
Advanced reboot menu
Custom DPI Settings
Making the bars transparent.
And I could just go on and on.
Need? I don't need a custom rom. I want it. Google bare minimum is awesome only to a point.
There isn't so much of a need as a desire. The device stock benches around 5475. With CM and a custom kernal installed I not only have better battery life, and quicker charge - but it benches at 7510.

Yes, your data will be wiped, but not the stock ROM (/system). fastboot oem unlock will basically do a factory reset for security purposes.

As someone who has only been on stock or mostly stock phones, I'm not in awe by what stock Android brings to the table. CM is what stock should be while other ROMs go above and beyond in what they offer.
