what is the best jellybean rom to use, why why not? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Am ready to load a jellybean rom on my sIIx. What is the better of the versions out there?
I use my phone for work everyday so everything functioning is important. Thanks. My phone is rooted running a custom ics rom.

I would recommend trying one of ptmr ROM allot of the jelly beans still have allot of kinks that need to be fixed. ptmr roms are the best hands down in battery and usage just some fyi

I am also keeping my eye on this one. It is updated almost every other day. I am presently running Darkside Evolution and it is so stable and the battery life is great. I had and HD2 that ran Cyanogen Mod and there was always little hiccups and work arounds. I know it was different hardware but I am just not ready to make that commitment. I am VERY excited to see how "Project Butter" works. I am sure in the coming weeks and months we will see these builds improve by leaps and bounds. I am gonna hold out untill I see a " What doesn't work " heading that has a few minor things in it.
* UPDATE * Wow this was just updated a little bit ago. This Developer is really working and putting time into making this ROM work and work smoothly.

Try cmx jb nightlies from binary bishop, that works more stable than the other thread that updates everyday.. I already tried and tested both jb roms but I recommend cmx, used it almost perfect.

I will jump on JB when ever they get the sound quality fixed!!

Try this one for a stable CMX experience if you want. I don't update it as often as some of the others, but when I do it's 100% tested and stable.

[SPRINT] [ROM] Custom/Stock vs Original Development

What do you guys think of the ROM situation? Favorites? Most hated? Which team deserves my support? Who are these people?
I need more posts so I can talk in the big-boy forums.
Most roms out so far are pretty good! I'm running FreeGS3 v0.0.7 and its superb. also, CyanogenMod10 is really good!
Was running CM9 nightly, then tried CM10, and am now back on stock. Mainly decided to go back to stock after the unofficial announcement that Samsung is prepping and *close* to pushing JB to these devices.

You sure about that? Yeah i wouldn't count on it. The whole "close" thing is almost certainly merely referring to the international models. Carriers still have to take their sweet time bloating it up with their stuff. I'd guess that we'd get it sometime early next year or late q4

Yep some pretty good ROMs out there.. i've been on Blazer for a while now. Gets the job done. It just gives me something to do, escape reality through technology, and some kind of social connection with this badass forum.
Sure wish i could contribute something to the development world though..
Please omit my last post, I can't stand stock ROMs for this device. CM10 = The way to go. just my opinion though
I usually run rooted stock at first then flash a ROM that has things I like in it. I used to be one of those flashaholics back when I had my Evo but not so much any more. So far, I've only flashed 2 ROMs. Rooted my stock when I first got the phone, flashed Blazer ROM 1.3 (updated to 1.6 later), and just last night I flashed AOKP.
I'm really picky when it comes to ROMs. Battery life is huge to me, but I'm a sucker for shiny things like Jelly Bean.
In the past I would stick to ROMs based on the stock ROM, as I felt they had less problems and better battery life. However, CM & JB are hard to leave once you've flashed it. JB just seems right!

Whats not working in CM10,is it daily driver yet?
I been running CM10 as well. Was on blazer Rom for awhile but it's hard going back to TouchWiz after getting a taste of jelly bean.
For me it's good enough as a daily drive but I'm on one of the older builds that had Bluetooth a2dp working although it cause in-call volume control to not work. Currently though on the latest builds, a2dp isn't working.
Other than that, it runs great for most part.
Do these Rom make for a longer battery life? If so what are your battery lifes before/after?

What exactly are you disappointed about? Try the latest official builds of cm10 or aokp. Not a nightly or a kang.. an official build.
Try Paranoid, it looks pretty wild!
SHHHH!!!! You're not allowed to say that!
I've done the same as you. The only change I've made to stock is run nova launcher to make it a bit more purdy and personalized.
Minco is pretty nice since it's really close to stock but faster, but in the end I'd rather just run stock for peace of mind (not that Minco was unstable).
Stock based roms perform the best in my opinion. Although Bamf Paradigm and Wasabi Miui run well for me, if I run them with trinity 1344 kernel.
IMO It seems like CM and AOKP stay in the nighties phase for way too long, and bugs and stability issues take too long to fix. This has been the case on most phones I have owned. They are great innovative roms though. I find it rare when a Rom with loads and loads of features runs as good as stock based roms do. I love having features, but performance, stability and battery life are above all features for me. I can just find mods myself anyways and add them as I need.
If stock is what works best for you, run stock, there's nothing wrong with that.
Why do you want people to change your mind?

The last ROM flashed was team baked black ROM it was OK but the force issues became very annoying .I was just asking am I doing something wrong when flashing ?

Fast reply, I don't even know what that is but anyway, Android comes down to user preference, if you enjoy stock, then rock it dude, I've tried only a handful of roms here but stock gives the most solid performance 9 out of ten times. granted I'm running Slimbean now, but I like to flash every two weeks and this rom is pretty great aside from bootup time XD.

I've tweaked till the cows come home but I think Google have totally cracked it to be honest and early reports about 4.2 seem to suggest they've went one more step in terms of speed and look .The quick reply feature is in cm10 when you receive a SMS you get a pop up window at anytime so you can instantly reply ,must be enabled tho .

The Peoples Rom is a solid Rom with great battery life. All the CM roms have been great for me and CM10.1 is no exception, but I'd try a few to see what you like best.

NEVER ask what's the best ROM!
They ALL are for the users that use them. No one can tell you what is the best for YOU. You need to read and decide for yourself if a ROM suits you.

Your modem does not change but the kernel will. The one that comes with CM10.1 is a 3.xxx based kernel and is smooth. I'd recommend running the rom as is for a few days and see how you like it.
I agree with you Kenny, but what an amazing work! everything is fast & fluid, colors are vibrant and beautiful.. I have been hanging around Epic forums for more than a year and this is the first time I saw something like this! you really had put a lot of work behind this, well done :good:
Been lurking and playing for a while now...
First off, I'm really impressed with the work the developers do here! OMG, it's giving my Epic new life and more. My wife like my phone so much, she asked me to root hers and put JB on it!
That being said, there's really a lot of choices, and almost every ROM makes a good daily driver. The question is what your threshold is for having things you're willing to put up with to get the cool new features these ROMs provide.
Here's my experience in the last 4 months - I started with CM9, and while I really liked it, I had some issues where it seemed to run hot at times. I added all the build.prop tweaks for increasing battery life, and once the stable version came out, I was pretty stoked. After a couple of weeks, I tried CM10 nightlies (my current ROM, 2013-01-20. I LOVE it! I added the 4.2 gapps camera and Gallery to enhance it a bit).
I expected the worst, because I work with developers and the term "nightlies" is never something we show to the public. In reality, aside from some initial issues with rebooting on earlier builds, it's been awesome.
This past couple of weeks, I decided to check out the waters and tried CM 10.1, and ran it for over two weeks - even put it on my wife's phone. It was like buttah until it randomly rebooted in the middle of a business call. I figure, once it goes to nightlies, I'll try it out again. Still itching, I tried ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2, and also AOKP Alpha 4.2.1 build. Both builds were stable and pretty polished, but battery life was better with CM10 - at least for the time-being. If you like to have lots of control over how your phone looks and acts, you can't go wrong with either ROM. I went back to CM10 mostly because it runs everything, especially Dead Space, which I couldn't get to work on any other ROM.
So, there's not really a "best" - it depends on what you want, and can put up with if there are issues.

Well I know which one I'm going to try first, but an 'Is is worth it' I think is easy to answer. Everyone can tell that there is too much lag or lack of response to be useable. That is what I was asking. See, I was told by my manufacturer that my Rezound was not capable of running Jelly Bean (Which is a lie, because I am running it), and the Incredible has much lower specs.
Anyways, I'm sure I'm going to try it. I was just seeing if anyone else had, had they experienced a miserable time at it. Not looking for suggestions.
There is a bit of lag since the inc is not meant to run JB. It can obviously, but it's not meant to. Not a lot of lag, but it is there, and the features of JB outweigh the lag for most. Most inc power users, I'd wager, are running some version of JB as a daily driver, including me. The main ones who don't use JB are the ones that need the video camera to work.
In summary: if you don't need the video camera to work perfectly, yes it's worth it.

Thanks guys. I finally found my old dinc and eris (missing in boxes after a move) and want to mess around with different ROMs. I run Infected on my Rezound and see its now available for incredible. It is a sickly modified CM based ROM.
Part of me wants to mess around even with some older flavors, like Gingerbread, Honey Comb, or even Eclair. Just for nostalgia.
Thanks again, I'll post back how it runs for my use when I have a chance to use it for several days.

You're right. Infection is good. A lot of it is the slimmer ROM and tweaks that helps it. Probably the tweaks especially the animations. I might have been a little off color with that comment.

Thank you all first, is there going to be an update for PAC I have ran all of your ROMs and are great just wondering because I read a few post back that it was going to be updated anyway thank you all :good:

Post your custom ROM experiences

With the unlocked bootloader and rom development I figured this would be a good time for people to post their own experiences and preferences thus far with what they have tried. Be as detailed or as vague as you want and maybe we can help some folks make up their own minds.
For me, I have tried 2 somewhat extensively. CM 10.1 and AOKP.
- CM 10.1 - For me, it was exactly what people have been saying. It's basically stock 4.2.2. I didn't give it enough time to experience it's battery life. It seemed stable, but for all of the "trouble" I went to (I'm not very technology savvy), I felt like I wanted to get a little more out of a custom rom.
- AOKP - After short tests of Carbon and PAC, I hopped over to AOKP. Super customizable. I love to nitpick over settings on my phone anyway, so this played right into my preferences. It's very quick. Didn't feel any different from CM 10.1 as that was quick too. But both are snappier than stock. Battery life seems either the same or better than stock. I am just really enjoying this rom. Haven't run into any real serious issues. Although I will recommend that you go into developer settings and disable HW overlays. This will assist in better Web scrolling more smoothly for whatever reason. The only other minor issue I've seen relates to when the phone is booting up, for a quick moment you'll see a fuzz screen for maybe a third of a second. Nothing major, but would like to see it hopefully ironed out at some point.
- Carbon & PAC - Will consider giving them some good time in the future if I ever start feeling adventurous.
Overall it's nice being able to really do what I want with my M with root, an unlocked bootloader, and a custom ROM. After all, android is about options, isn't it?

I actually prefer Stock over all the custom ROMs. Seems that I run into stability issues with everything else. I liked Eclipse, and I'm running CM 10.1 right now. As for all the others, I've tried and dismissed them all, mostly due to too many fcs.

Hi all, first post in xda forum! Just rooted my phone last week and immediately started flashing ROMs. I found that most of the ones I used had issues like camera not working and wasn't able to transfer all of my contacts for some reason. Never the less I really liked elemental x which is developed by the same person who developed eclipse I believe. I really enjoyed the aesthetics it offered especially changing the color of the navbar which unfortunately I couldn't find without using a ROM. So I decided to go and get the version he was working on before which is Eclipse. installed it today loving it so far. camera works fine but still don't have all my old contacts. Hope that wasn't too long, feel free to comment.

Have you tried fixing permissions to reduce force closes?

Hi all, first post in xda forum! Just rooted my phone last week and immediately started flashing ROMs. I found that most of the ones I used had issues like camera not working and wasn't able to transfer all of my contacts for some reason. Never the less I really liked elemental x which is developed by the same person who developed eclipse I believe. I really enjoyed the aesthetics it offered especially changing the color of the navbar which unfortunately I couldn't find without using a ROM. So I decided to go and get the version he was working on before which is Eclipse. installed it today loving it so far. camera works fine but still don't have all my old contacts. Hope that wasn't too long, feel free to comment.

Sync your contacts with Goggle and you should always be able to restore them.
As for ROMs, I'm on Slim and I've been on it for a while. I ran AOKP for about 2 weeks and it had the best battery life out of any of the AOSP ROMs. However, I like the custom options of Slim and I'm using Marxman's port of it.

Thank you for your response is the advice on syncing to Google was very helpful. have all my contacts again. as for the camera I don't believe it was permissions issue and can't remember if I tried fixing the permissions. I might install the ROM again just check. The camera wasn't force closing it was just blank when it came up. Also I get keyboard errors when trying to use other ROMs. Has anyone else gotten that?

I agree that most roms are more unstable than stock.
I am waiting for miui to become stable. It has the first readable status bar that I know of. Anyone care to enlighten me about roms that have "white on black" options?
I would like to find a stock, deodexed, initd'ed & like the DST at Rzr but its not deodexed.

Haven't yet heard of Elemental X. I need to check more out! Eclipse I need to try too actually. The camera on AOKP seems good but still getting used to it.
And welcome to the forum!

elemental X = Eclipse
Orion AOKP is my fav (mostly due to battery life), so I'm sticking with that until Key Lime Pie comes out. In my experience, Orion AOKP is essentially just like the unofficial AOKP, but with battery saving and script tweaks.

Unlocked my bootloader and flashed my first ROM last night. I gotta say, carbon is DOPE. I've had ZERO major problems and it's extremely fast and battery life slightly better than stock. And the customization options are crraaazzyyyy.
Definitely worth it

I've tried both Pac and Carbon. Pac had more options, Carbon seemed snappier but with more fc's. I threw Liquid smooth when it showed up on goo a few weeks ago and I have settled down with it. It has been fast and very stable.
