Just wondering if you guys are sticking to GB and why. I've tried FF18 and it's okay. CM9 is amazing but I don't think its solid like EL29 (IMO). But overall CM9 is solid. No flaming but I want to hear what you guys think.

Sucking on Call's EL29 for the battery life and lack of bugs.
None of the ICS builds last me a whole work day. GB gives me a consistent 18 - 36 hours depending on usage.

Back to the one truly perfect rom (Calk's EL29) for me, too. I've tried ICS in many flavors (Calk's, mijj's, Phantom's) and they all have various issues. Be it poor battery life, MMS not working, audio bugs, Pandora not playing, GPS not locking, whatever, ICS sucks on the E4GT. The only ICS ROM that I've had any success with was CM9, but I use AllShare almost daily so that isn't a go for me.

I'm on Calkulins El 29 myself I'm staying here until ICS is worked out, and the phone will work itself out eventually, trust the devs since the source kernel has been put out, slowly but surely we will see battery life improvements among the many other things!
Haha thats a trip ...yeah el29 is a solid build ...to be honest i like ginger bread...running calks 3.0

Went to cm9 and probably won't return to a stock ish Rom any time soon. Have had great results with latest nightly and kernel from source combo.

I dont get how you all are having issues with ICS Ive used ROMs from Venum, and other members of Team Venum. Using Dazed's Wicked Sensation 1.5 now. Great battery life, plenty fast for me. I did change the Kernel and modem to FF02 though. seems to work best for my phone. Ive used Blend, Blu Kuban, Anakonda, Boa, ICE, AOKP, CM9, Frankenstein's ego. Never had an issue with any of them. Well... except for not flashing AOKP right a couple times. Got it figured out fairly quickly Even running Placebo tweaks and havent had issues at all. One thing or another may not work on one ROM or another. but always found a work around for them. Im just learning all this stuff though. Havent really gotten in to the meat an potatos of it all yet. But Im learning.
Anyways... long answer just to say I Love ICS. Cant wait to try Jellybean.
Back to Calk's 3.0

I love ics but the horrible speeds I encounter with my bandwidth brought me back to gb. I tried everything to get descent speeds and ended up losing the battle. Even resorted going back to stock ota and bringing the phone to Sprint so they could look at it. GB is the place to be for me and my bandwidth. I just wish the forum would branch sub cats for ics and GB users so I don't have to scroll for 20 mins looking for old GB roms

ICS reminds me of Windows ME! It was just not a finished product, and with Jelly bean in the very near future, it's shaping up to be just like it. Ics needs that shot in the arm that it lacked for smoothness and other things. All i can say is BUTTER! ! !

I use that rom as my dd. Its calk's worked baked in to ff18 with some other stuff. Its almost stock feel. Most bloat removed. Ton of mods.
There is another awesome rom called blu kuban. Not sure if it fits your needs. Its super themed with awesome blue and black colors. Has its own kernel with a ton of cpu tweaks. Blu kuban is like the ultimate rom.

You could also try the "black" ROM, it's very stable and has a great battery life. It is off of ff18 right now but is going to move to fh13 soon.
Its funny how much this question gets asked. I would read up thoroughly on how to flash Roms and root or whatever it is you you want to do and go to the development section read about what is going on and how to install whatever ROM you want to try and try it, see how it works for you and if you don't like take it off. Trial and error is your best bet just make sure you aren't blindly flashing and installing stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Qbking77 has a lot of helpful videos on YouTube also.

That's not true by a long shot...
The reason we started making our own ROMs was the instabilities, short-comings, and plain mistakes made by SamSprint in the stock ROMs.. you know, like the eMMC brick bug? That's a far cry from stable imo..

Hi,
My name is Adeel and I recently upgraded from a Google Nexus One to a used Samsung Galaxy S2X, which I really love. It's running the Darkside ROM, which is alright but nothing too fancy. One thing I did notice was that when i turn the phone off, it doesn't turn off (the soft keys stay lit, and I have to remove the battery and turn the phone on to turn it back on) which is weird, but i'm sure it's a glitch in the ROM.
Anyways, flashing different ROMs is just a hobby of mine, something I like to do in my free time. Since I'm not familiar with any ROMs in the development section, I would like your opinions on what is the most stable ROM (good battery life, and with the least issues). I have heard the new Jellybean ROM is good ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852105 ). What are your thoughts on that? Any help would be appreciated to get me started because this phone was already rooted, and I don't really want to brick the phone doing any bad flashing. I was very comfortable flashing on the Nexus One though.
Thanks a lot!
uh oh - I can't even boot into recovery. When i reboot into recovery, the screen turns black and the soft keys stay lit... (no sd-card in the phone). Any help?
If you hold the power button for long enought the phone will restart. That way you don't have to do the batt pull.
For roms, I'm using darkside right now and don't have that problem; but I was using Infamous before and its really good too.

Right now I'm on Jedi Mind Trick v7 and I think it's as good if not better than Darkside. It's veeery smooth and veeeery fast
Edit: about the boot problem: wipe cache. I think it's a common problem with darkside (at least older versions)

JB is alright but not quite there yet. Many users are experiencing random reboots and SODs (sleep of deaths, when the phone goes into sleep and doesn't want to wake back up). On top of all of that, I usually experience a lockscreen freeze...
Most stable would probably be CM9 Final/Stable.
And most stable TW based ROM (at least for me) was Jedi Mind Trick v7.

What ive learned since i started flashing is to flash them all and see which one works best for you and ur phone. Just because a rom works very well on an s2 doesnt mean it'll be the same for another s2.
That being said... The best performance ive had is with darkside rom and infamous. Juggernaut v5 is actually very good too but its GB and updates have halted a long time ago.
Try them out and good luck.

Try OC EL29, you'll get no bugs, and a better battery life than on ICS.
Still had trouble with ics and el 29. I tried just running GB but that message never goes away. Its always trying to download and killing my battery and connection. I never had this niche trouble with my evo 4g
There's an unrooted trick that is said to kill the update notification.

The devs did a great job with the ROMs but its not the same like gingerbread since Samsung and sprint screwed our ICS, every custom ROM I tryed still has that nasty super fast scroll, it has that glitchy freezing up a bit also when scrolling. OP if you want ICS you will need to get on an aosp ROM or cm9 and aokp that's the closest and smoothness of ICS you will get or you could just roll back to gingerbread.
Another thing is there's a lot of folks that would claim how smooth these ICS custom ROMs are but in reality it isn't its either you guys are blind or your just to into and to used to ICS that it blended in you guys soul.every time I roll back to gingerbread I see a huge difference in smoothness and butter heck even these jellybean aosp and cm10 ROMs are way smoother then the ICS that Samsung and sprint gave us.

One piece of advice: Go get sfhub's stock ek02 or eg30 auto package. Start from the beginning and go back and flash an ICS ROM. That usually fixes any bugs. :good:
I don't know about the other ICS ROMs but I have tried CM9 and Blu Kuban and they come as close to perfection as we could've gotten without source kernel. Haven't fully tried ICS since just because I prefer the better battery life of GB though.
I'm on cm10 and the battery is much better than anything I got in ICS, and I've tried half the ROMs out there. Blue kuban, codename, cm9, aokp, etc. The cm10 ROM is freaking amazing. Honestly, try it. You won't regret it

Look, if you are doing everything right as you say, and are having problems that are making your phone "hell," the problem is likely your device itself. I have personally never had issues with any ICS builds, from the leaks, to the OTAs, to CM9. And the latest FH23 leak gives me excellent battery life. Unfortunately, since you didn't give any more information to go on than the fact that you phone has been hell, I have no further advice to give you then to get your phone replaced. Again, I have had no issues with ICS. Running much smoother than GB.

Even this replacement phone that i just activated is getting **** phone reception compared to my old one with GB. If they both have ICS installed they both get crap signal.

First thing, have you updated profile and PRL? If so, have you tried using the ODIN one-click to go back to EL29 ROM, kernel, and modem? Let's start there. If you are having no issues using EL29 as I suggested, we can further explore this being an ICS-related issue. Otherwise, it could very well be Sprint. If that works fine, use ODIN to install the latest FH23 leaked ROM, kernel, and modem. Forget flashing through recovery for now, and only use the one-clicks that erase user data. Also, do you have these issues everywhere you go, or is this localized to a particular area? To put it simply, for 2 phones to be having an identical problem (given a device that is not really known for having problems) is very strange, which leads me to blame Sprint in your particular area. But if you say that you did not have these issues on GB, let's explore that further. ODIN EL29 and report back.
I am new to the galaxy s2 after coming from a sensation. I don't see a clear cut winner on this forum like in the sensation forum, I tried JediMindTrick and it seemed a little buggy after freezing sometimes. Can anyone recommend me another stable ics with tw rom?

ptmr3 has a zip to flash back to stock on JK3, just saying.
my 2 cents
I stay with jedi mind trik 7 (I'm to lazy to update ) and after about 3 weeks I haven't had any problem.
I just added the tw calendar.
I moved from stock because of skype, that didn't work properly on stock ICS, but I have to say that this rom is really smooth and nice, therefore I think you should try to reinstall again everything before move to another distribution.
A tip, I reinstalled all app, instead of using titanium or similar, it's cleaner and in the end not so long with the market.
I suggest also to have some fun with google now
Dark side is definitely the hands down winner in TW roms. Besides, Jedi and all those other ptmr roms borrow heavily from tdj. Just saying.

Afraid I have to agree. My warranty replacement S2 came yesterday, preloaded with 4.04. I think I'm just staying here for a while. At least until I get my upgrade next month.
I had been on Paradox for probably 6 months and never really had many issues with the gingerbread roms, most are very stable. I tried jmt and sith as well as Beastmade, in a few different versions and flavors and they were ALL buggy. Most are putting way more time into themeing than into to trouble shooting. Read the posts...most issues are blamed on a bad flash or you used the wrong recovery method...NEVER the rom. To be fair I never got to try a Darkside rom as my phone went back under warranty... supposedly developed the bad power button thing and started boot looping and freaking out. I'm still not sure it wasn't rom related as the way it started it had nothing to do with the power button...that was the biproduct of a really unstable Sith rom.
All that said, if my stock 4.04 starts to lag and bog down with background bloatware, like my original s2 did that sent me here in the first place, then I will probably be back to flashing...or on to the S3.

As soon as tdj decided to leave all these new "devs" started flooding in. Trust me and let's end this post god dammit. If you want a WELL KNOWN, trusty, speedy, stable rom that keeps its stock look from a WELL KNOWN TRUSTED DEVELOPER, look no further than darkside evolution v8. The rom is perfect. No bugs I can think of, no nothing wrong with it whatsoever. God dammit I miss the Derek Jay. This place had to go and run him off. In all honesty I don't even want this phone anymore now that development is dead to me. Official cm9 twitches and flickers now and there's no more TDJ. The only developers that I trust on this thing now are eugene373 and whitehawkx. Forget the rest.

I'm still running v7 based on 4.0.3. It's literally the perfect ROM for me. If 8 is as good or better, I'm going to flash that this weekend... I'm not one whose particularly a flash happy user. I really have not been impressed with what I've read about the other ROMs. I wish tdj was still here for this device.

It really is the perfect ICS rom. It will be a long while before see a jelly bean rom of the same caliber.

Was over on the Sith thread...another phone bit the dust! Of course the post just gets ignored. Same issues I had. Not saying it's just his ROM but something weird is going on. Never saw some many people having power button, boot loop, flashing on and off, etc.

Do you have the developer landing page for the v8 rom? I am currently on koodo because i actually like tw and love its speed. I dont like is that GPS takes for ever to lock. I am not a flash happy guy either i want something stable and fast.
Don't want to sound like a hater but as far development goes good luck pfinding anything close to revolution or viper s in terms of quality. Now with that being said I like Darthstalker.

Unfortunately I don't, yet. That's my goal before the weekend is over though.
