[POLL] What is your daily driver? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys, just take a poll as to what your daily driver is. Which ROM you have running the most. You can only pick one. Thanks for your time!

Lol. For the past week, I've been flashing a ROM a day. I wish there was that perfect ROM like Juggernaut 2.3.6 . It had AOKP with MIUI addons and a load of other stuff

Ive tried all the major ones, and for ICS based ROMS Jedi Mind Trick v7/v8 and TDJ's ROMS have been the best. That said, after a few days on ANY ICS ROM Ive tried I start getting anomalies that make it frustrating, so for now Im back on Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7. That seems to be my go-to ROM and I have never had one issue with it. I sacrifice a little snappiness, but for me its flawless and bulletproof.

AOKP fan here. I had the milestone 6 for the longest time.
Just trying out JMT since last week until AOKP-JB becomes stable.

Jedi Mind trick is my favorite but I was loving clones and drones when I was on it both are fast and stable

Got a few SODs but its mostly been in the morning before I head out and a quick restart as I get in my car is sufficient. Aside from that small bug it's been great with me

Darkside Evolution 3v8! Easily the Rom of the year. Version 4 isn't a slouch either.

Telus ICS Stock Rom for now
I've tried 4-5 roms since i bought my phone 4 weeks ago... and i'm always coming back to my nand backup of my stock rom because there'S always small things i'm not happy with every roms i tried...
Jedi knight 2... One of the best UI with SIII addons but got Launcher freezes 5-6 times a day for 30 seconds...
Clones and Drones... AccuWeather bugs on Lockscreen... ask in Celcius but got temp in Farenheit even with the small C besides and always show wrong city...
Koodo v.4.0.4 v3... this one was almost perfect for me but have poor data speed with Fido on 4G
Jedi mind Tricks V8 ... poor battery life...
But gonna continue to try others and coming back if there's new version of what i already tried...
thanks to all devs for the good work...

POLL what ics ROM are you running .. on ur T989

I've been hoping around to different Roms. since the leaks came out I was on perfetion for a bit Sk ROM , Darkside . For the Longest Till Now ..

I had posted this in the i727 like the stoner I am .. just looking for everyone's option on rooms and what they like it and why?
I was using Darkside Evolution beta 6 for a while.. Just flashed the cm9 build that's been in the development forum for a few weeks. I'm really liking it a lot. I don't use wifi calling so it's not an issue with me.
Sent from my Galaxy SII T-mobile using xda premium
darkside beta 6. no wifi calling and gps is pretty much useless but everything else is great. best ics dd out at the moment, imo.
I've been using skyics from the skyrocket forums. The main reasons are speed and battery life.
It's stock themed but he has a couple of battery/signal mods and there's a theme for it too.
No issues really besides wifi calling which ins't really an issue considering it's an at&t rom.
I'm using Dan Brutal ICS based on a TMo leak for about a week now and it's very good

I've been using Darkside Evolution Beta03 ever since it came out on the 12th of May and has been great so far. The GPS works good for the most part, the only slight downside is not the best cell signal, but still good enough for my daily needs. I also like the APEX launcher that comes with the rom, I think it's better than the TW launcher that comes with the rom too. Sure there are a few bugs here and there, but I'm happy with it overall.
I'm still running darkside DW 2.5.1. Runs flawless for me.

Darkside beta 3, seems to be the only rom that doesn't have extremely low dock audio.
I tried AOKP but the screen flashing/brightness change thing was quite annoying.
waiting for a more complete CM9 like everyone else.

Well...i really like AOKP and CM9...but theres too many issues...at least for me since i look for stability and i like to enjoy all options this fantastic device can bring me. I tried every ICS roms outhere....for me thedereckj and dan brutal ICS Roms are the best so far (my experience on my device). I have no doubt CM9 and AOKP will be at the top of the list but...sorry... no rigth know......
Btw...i ll be reading people calling Dereck's Ucle2 Ics rom as Darkside evolution beta6....thats wrong. Thats a different rom. Evolution is based on tmobile leak. Ucle2 beta 6 is based on att skyrocket leak. I know you guys already know this but if u look around posts you will find what im talking about.
Thanks ...this is just my opinion and i respect if u desagree. Please do the same.

Darkside evolution v8. As much as cm9, cm10 and aokp are much moar awesome-r than touchwiz, none of them give me at least half the battery life that darkside evo does. In the end, I'd rather have my phone make it through the entire day with normal use than half the day with moderate use.

Used skyrocket jb one for a week. Was a good rom. It had graphics driver issue which caused youtube freezes and it had no video recording as well. Gave a shot to jedi mind trick ics, it's definitely a dd.

My daily is CM9 stable.
And my nightly seems to be CM10 Alpha.
I tried Evo and didn't seem to get the same battery life as the Darkside Telus build, which is a little strange. Then again I do have the Telus version of the phone... starting to think there are differences. Might explain why some people get a working camera with CM10 and some don't. Then again there may not be any correlation whatsoever and I just have bad luck. Leaning towards the latter...
+1 For CM9 Stable, and it'll stay that way til CMX or AOKP is stable enough for my liking.

None for me. My usual DD go tos are dark side v8 and cm9 but now that cm9 gives me graphical glitches I'm down to dark side. I tried pmtr3s roms and didn't like any of them.

I'm using JMT v9 and its pretty shhweet. It's only my second rom, first was plain jane ICS. So i don't have experience with many roms.
Only had one problem with it, and of course it was when i was showing it off to an iphone owner.
Problem was I was pretty drunk and was adding pages to the home screen and maxxed them out. Went to delete them and it locked up and said touchwiz was not responding. So i just reflashed and wont be doing that again.
Cant post up the bug in the dev section yet, only a couple more posts to go.

On the Darkside Rom

I haven't posted in a while but my phone is still solid on 3.8 Darkside. Ive used nothing but Darkside since he started development. What happened to the dev? It feels strange using an awesome rom that isnt even in the dev section anymore.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
TDJ moved on. Remember our valued devs are volunteers and hobbyists, and it's to be expected that they will come and go.
But there is an awesome group of devs active on the T989 today, and many excellent ROMS to select from.
I'd recommend that you nandroid your trusty Darkside, then try a clean install of JB. Flash your way through a series of CM, AOKP, and various kangs.
I will be extremely surprised if you don't find a new favorite. The aesthetics, responsiveness and features of the ROMs out today far exceed where we were even back in the summer.
Nandroid is your friend. Go play.

You can actually search sourceforge.net for thederekjay to find his last build.
I had to Odin back to stock after a nameless recovery screwed my phone up for the second time (nothing I flashed would work right). I remembered how much I liked Darkside Evolution and decided to search for it and try it again. It has to be the most stable custom ROM to date. It obviously doesn't have the bells and whistles that the others do, but everything just works. It also looks sweet if you slap Touch0Color and TouchWiz UX on top of it (both are still in the apps and themes section).

I just started using it after all the crappy battery and various problems from some of the JB Roms. Ive used them all I think. Slim beans awesome as far as battery goes and liquid smooth but each still have graphical glitches. 3.8 is the way to go its by far the most reliable TW Rom we got with bulletproof a close second IMO.
I just recently committed to making the switch. I was on Darkside v. 8. I am now using Infamous Resurrection Gangnam Style. Great Touchwiz basedRom. Good battery life. No lags. And it's still active so lots of support etc for this rom.

Would going back to JMT X4 be a good idea?

I am currently on aokp build 6 and am getting bored of the holo look of the ROMs+bugs and am thinking of going back to JMT X4. I know that this ROM is kinda old and is on ICS so I wanted to ask if it would be a good idea because I heard that it doesn't have Google now and some other stuff that is present in JB ROMs.

If your looking for a mostly bug free Rom then JMTX4 would be a good bet.. It's further developed and is super fast..
If you want the same bug free experience on JB then you will have to wait a little longer my friend. But it's coming soon!
This thing makes calls too ?

I just came from an aokp nightly by whitehawkx and wanted to try out the JMT jb2.1. For some reason the radio wouldn't work so I flashed stock jb rom via odin, flashed TWRP, and then installed JMT. Radio worked perfectly after that.

Very hard for me to tell the difference in speed compared to JMT X4.
