CM9. We do have official support so it's a pretty stable rom.

Lmao

Testing the battery life on cm9 rc2 to see if it is any better if not will be back to cm7.2. and NO I don't want to turn this into a battery issue mine is a case of my mileage varies from everyone else.

TPR 2.2.1, because Kennyglass123 is the Android version of Jim Jones and I drank every drop of the Kool-Aid....
Oh, and the battery life and performance are awesome too.

I'm on The People's ROM too. Oops, did I say The People's ROM? I meant Mortify. They are two totally different things.

Honestly I'm not sure.....between tpr and mortify......only thing is that if I wanted ics look I would just go with aokp or cm9 (obviously mortify is a better performer) no offense darky...so tpr here I come

His phone will keep telling him to update until he actually runs the update, or at least tries to (it obviously wont work if you are running a custom ROM). Just because his phone is telling him to update, doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I'm going to go ahead and agree with everyone else on here and say CM9 is amazing. The only reason I haven't gotten the EL30 modem and flashed CM9 (I have tried it and its awesome) is because i use the hotspot hack on my other ROM and 4g wifi tethering doesn't work on CM9 yet. Most people don't care about that issue so I'd definitely say forget looking for a EL30 ROM and go straight for CM9.
There are not many roms based on el30 yet, and to be honest, its not that great of an update. Cm9 is now available, but still had some bugs to get worked out. For now I would strongly advise starskyrom mtd v2.0, or marcusant v3. Its all about personal taste, and roms perform differently for every device.

AOKP and CM9 have been built from source for a while now..what are you guys talking about? If you are refering to the kernel source that just dropped then Times has built one and incorperated it into his 7-11 release. I think you guys are confused and need to read more before posting.
Cannot wait for some CM10! Its about time we got source. Samsung promised this by March initially. Been a long 3 months. Lol

Well, people definitely don't seem happy with the OTA update. I am using times_infinity builds of AOKP and they are absolutely amazing.
On topic, JB seems interesting but it just seems so minimal of a change... Sure smoothness is great but not worth wading through 20 builds of meh performance battery and features. I'll likely wait a month or two to actually use a JB build.

I feel the same. I couldn't care less as to what the official sprint update looks like, I'm just excited for what our devs will make of it I'm on mijjz 16.5 and I couldn't be more satisfied with ics.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Emoji, emoji, emoji!! native emoji support is all I'm thinking about. Thankfully CM10 will come to us, so no need to depend on sprint or samsung. Also, not to be a **** but the article linked in the OP mentions nothing what so ever to back up the meaning of this thread, it only mentions the galaxy S3. This would be the correct thread with good source to a possible jelly bean update to the Galaxy S2. sadly so far only international version.

I got a noob question.. is there a good ICS built that isn't themed? I mean i like colours but would like to be able to theme it myself instead of going for the developers taste.
I was running Calk's ICS rom and he was to only dev that didnt theme the whole thing

I would suggest either cm9 or aokp. Both are very stock looking with tweaks and they are highly customizable.

But tw is heavily [and terribly] themed... why would he want that? I'd suggest sfhubs release of the stock rooted ff18 then... or of course mijjz goodness... still themed, but it works pretty damn good.

Is the official ice cream sandwich update any good ?

I'm tired of being on gingerbread but I'm pretty much dome with custom roms. I've seen a lot of people bashing the update so I never touched it but apparently they sent out another update a few weeks ago. Did it make things worse? How is the smoothness and battery life compared to stock gingerbread.

I'm a little biased, but I agree. I personally do not care for themed roms. I would prefer to make small changes myself and if I want a little theming, there are a few good launchers out that provide the theming that I need.

Im trying calkulin's 1.6 ics fe22 rom in the original development section. Yes its old. Yes theres recalk. His fe22 and el29 may be old but they are stable and ive not had any snafus yet.
Every time I try ics its still buggy for me. Sometimes the capacitive buttons don't work for a couple seconds, or the weird visual glitch in the task manager. None of it seems worth the hassel. JB is the way to go imo with project butter this thing is bulletproof. Yea they are a bit unstable which I realize I just complained about, but I think jb is worth it because you actually gain something compared to the ics update, where really the only thing you get is access to a couple apps (chrome etc) and instability. It gets rid of all the nice cosmetic changes ics made, and covers them with touchwiz. For the bone stock user, yea the ics update adds functionality (very little) but if you're rooted ics is a waste of time. That and the fact that no one can theme a rom to make this phone not look like a toy anyway.

My wife's Epic is stock rooted GB and has been very stable. I had great luck with CM9, also very stable with nice features. I'm on CM10 now, and install the latest nightlies. Battery life with CM10 has been better, but every so often it sucks battery. I've had two or three reboots in a couple of months. Otherwise I have not had issues.
I guess right now my vote would be CM9 of stability is the most important thing.
