Most stable ics rom with touchwiz - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

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?

Darkside evolution v8. These pmtr3 roms are okay but the theming is ridiculous. Evo8 keeps it stock and smooth. Its always my go to when I get tired of random reboots and sleeps of death. Trust me Evolution v8 is where its at for stability, best battery life, all while keeping that stock touchwiz look. There's a reason why its the most popular rom made so far for the t989 with over 1 million thread views. The rom is still available for download on TDJs sourceforge. Just Google thederekjay source forge. It will come up.

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.

Exactly why I haven't even touched any if these new roms. No offense to any devs but our trusty ol' developers are almost all gone. 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.

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.

Are there any ROMs that actually work

Are there any stable e4gt roms that are better than stock ek02 with everything working cuz battery life is a poor trade off for working features in my opinion. Example if wimax is not working or tether to get more battery life whats the point

..is this a serious question?
If so.. Just check out the devolpment section. Try out using calkulins ROM, his battery script works well.

I am also not sure how to approach this. There are only a few roms that don't support wimax.. I suggest calkulins. It's my go to rom. I've heard starburst is pretty good too.. But in the future, please try to read a bit. maybe look at the roms that have a lot of view and/or comments. The OP of each thread will tell you just about everything you need to know.
IMO, there is no more stable custom ROM right now then UnNamed. If I wasn't so flash happy, I would stay with that but I'm changing ROMs every 2-3 days now...
But anyway, yeah UnNamed is the best ROM as far as stability is concerned.
Oh and I got over a day of moderate use from it. Don't believe me though, try it out!
Have not tried unamed yet

+1 for Calkulin's roms. Good battery life, stable, so far I have not encountered any issues.
I've been extremely pleased with Calkulin's ROM. I have tried unnamed (which I also like) but I prefer the 5 icon dock and 5x5 app drawer and undervolt/underclock scripts in Calkulin's.
No, none of them actually work...stay on stock...

MJHawaii is right.. UnNamed is a hell of a rom especially with a few tweaks added in. I am quite sure you will not find anyone unhappy with it. Also like mentioned before there is a whole development section of great roms. Just make sure when you try them all you do not restore data and flash all of them cleanly and not on top of each other.
For battery life on this phone may I recommend 200-800 since your phone can clearly handle it...
no offence, but either dont flash and stay on stock or there is always the good ol flip phones!

All the ROMS that are built on TW source are complete - this excludes CM7 and MIUI which are AOSP. REALLY.

Got to agree with the previous poster that suggested you just stay on stock. I'd prefer not having to see posts/threads like this in the future....
For the record however, I've been happy with Calk's, Unnamed AND for quite a bit of time now (a whole month or so!) Blend is my current Daily and it is brilliant.
But you.... you stay on stock....

blazer is my daily driver.
i have not tried a single rom that has just flat out been unstable or unusable though; i steer clear of early/experimental builds, bust most of the roms in the dev section for this phone are pretty complete and comprehensive.
this is my first android device and initially i had trouble just rooting the thing, but thanks to xda's dev section my first flash was a piece of cake and i've had no issues or major complaints in 3 months of jumping rom to rom.
Just an observation. But your avatar shows you have at&t, shouldn't you be in a different section? This forum is for the Samsung epic 4g touch. Maybe thats why the roms aren't working. Unless you just havent updated your profile. (Im guilty of that as well)

I want to know what your favorite rom is for the Epic 4g Touch and why?

This thread is NOT a good idea. Soon it will be an all out flame war. These threads never last.
Lets say this much....Everyone has a favorite rom....Just because one person likes it doesnt mean another will. I recommend flashing ALL the roms to get a feel for what you like. Each rom has something unique to it. All of our developers are great. Give each rom a flash

All roms have their ups and downs. I like cm9 the most.
blazer seems to be the most popular so far. Im kind of in between roms. been flashing a lot lately, but nothing has fit just right like blazer did a few months back.
i got a taste of the ics and i cant go back tho currently on calk 1.6 with kobridge 3.3 tweaks
Agree with ReActiveDisorder, each ROM is different and each user likes different things. Just try some and find what you will like.:thumbup:

Most stable rom and rooting process?

First off I hate my s2 now, it feels like I have no reliability, it really stinks to be honest. I know the capabilities of this phone and it seems like ever since I upgraded to the ICS from the kies update (before root) the wifi stinks and has no where NEAR the strength of the previous gingerbread rom, (stock as well on gingy) so I decided maybe a root and a custom rom would help? no. This is only making things worse. I need this phone as I rely on it for all sorts of buisness. I need a solution for day-to-day use with no glitches. And this may be on t-mobiles end, but sometimes I don't recieve calls and for sure don't recieve even half of my texts people send. If I have to go back to stock gingy, so be it, I love ICS but if it means all of these glitchy processes are included, I hate it. Right now I rooted using galaxys2root.com's method and then right now I am on darkside rom v7. Is there a better root/unroot or factory reset? I just need a more stable process and I am COMPLETELY willing to start all over. Any help would be mightly appreciated. Thanks!:fingers-crossed::cyclops:
I'm not 100% sure about rooting from ics but once u have that figured out......the most stable rom I have had on this phone might have been beastmod5.0. You can find that on rootzwiki.com. it is however a gingerbread rom and u will not have ics features....but if u want the closest to stable I think I would go there....maybe somebody who has tried other Roms can further recommend some.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Yes yes yes yes! I BEASTMOD ROM IS THE ROM TO HAVE. sorry about the capitals lol but honestly beastMOD rom is the sickest rom I've ever had on my s2. It's the way I met Melvin, lol. Any who you should run it.. If you can't find the zip for the rom I'd be more then happy to upload it up once I get home lol

Its so debatable to find one perfect Rom, too many choices and too many pros and cons in all of them. Best i can say is try them ALL until you find something that you can use without issues. Or even if it had bugs, they could be the ones you could live with. None are perfect by far, their extremely close to perfect but none are. Don't forget what your doing here. I might open a site called Flashers Anonymous. It how ii roll!!! If i find something i really cant deal with in a Rom I just try another one. Since June I have tried 5 Roms and absolutely have stopped in Infamous for a while. Dev support is fast ad reliable. And to be something made for free by the guys that create them I won't complain nay one bit until my phone melts in my hands..
With that said, best of luck and happy flashings.... until the next time im oof:.....
Tuesday Blu Ray Rom is probably the most stable ROM or any gingerbread rom.... I personally dont have any major issues with the aokp biulds im content with the 7/15 build

looking for roms (mostly stable)- New too s3 devs.. point me in the right direction?

anything helps.
This will be locked soon. And the most common answer will be "try them all", but you can try FreeGS3 JB in Android Development.
Also search for mods in Themes and Apps for a thread with "morph" in the title for full customization.

I have 2 ROMs for you that I have fallen in love with. The first is the latest Paranoid Android with its awesome custom options and battery life. And the other one is the one I'm using now, aokp with ktoonz. This ROM is also very customizable and has given me be best battery life so far.

Welcome to jelly bomb domination!...once you complete a full battery cycle and compare to other roms you will not mind the theming. Read/search the thread for how to mod it. You can get rid of the pull down graphic, slider and even the subdued background image that appears everywhere in v.8.0. At first I wasn't liking some of these either but now I barely notice them.

The answer to your search depends on whether you want to keep Touch Wiz or not. The upside to Touch Wiz is that you can still use S-Beam etc.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I would just flash for yourself and see what you like best. Different phones react differently to ROMs so what works for some people may not work for you. It seems that most people here are using Jelly Bomb, Wicked Sensation, Paranoid Android, CM10. Try them for yourself, but be sure to give it a few days to settle before you make any decisions on battery life, stability, etc.

i have left jelly bomb and am now trying Frankenstein's kill joy v2.1 and wow am i loving it.. talk about performance and batt life.. quadrants in the 6k range. able to oc to 1890 Mhz using voltage control! super clean ui. can use silkui morphology mods to customize how i want.
idk.. the jelly bomb drove me nuts.. to much theme.
its was fun for the first 3 hours.. but yeah. it didn't grow on me.
i wish there was rom ratings poll.. for each device. and a stability rating along with the rating. if anyone knows someone or is capable of making this happen.. id be all over it! i know there is alot of junk troll crap out on these forms. I was looking at a rom to flash.. and baised off of OP it sounded ligit! then reading through the thread i soon found out that no one had been able to get the thing to even boot.. why cant posts like this be FLAGGED. idk. maybe the moderators were doing a crappy job or something. seems like they come in when least needed half the time ha. anyways. thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction!!!!

as for suggestions i think i will try PARANOIDANDROID. i had it running on my epic 4g touch and it was snazzy.. i dont remember why i left it.. i have "the collective" on e4gt now and was loving it.
anyways happy flashing and wish me luck!!

I would just flash for yourself and see what you like best. Different phones react differently to ROMs so what works for some people may not work for you. It seems that most people here are using Jelly Bomb, Wicked Sensation, Paranoid Android, CM10. Try them for yourself, but be sure to give it a few days to settle before you make any decisions on battery life, stability, etc.

taking a look now.
what do you think??
I'm in the same position. I upgraded from my 3 year old EVO 4G and am looking for where to start. This is a whole new learning lesson for me after being so use to roms and upgrading on the EVO. Are there some stable stock roms that have the sprint applications removed already? Which recovery is preferred as well. The EVO pretty much had only one recovery that worked well and Clockwork wasn't it. Not it appears there are 5 or six. TWRP is looking pretty good.
*Maybe this should be it's own thread. Hopefully with better spelling.
the peoples rom has ktweaker and i was able to land this

[Q] Best Stable ROM for SGH-T989

I am currently using Jedi Mind Trick X3.
What is the general consensus for "best, stable rom" available for the SGH-T989??
Go for stock

I'm running JediJelly2 and love it. Ran JMT X3 before and it was great.
ptmr3 puts out good stuff.
Putting "Best & Stable" together is like trying to put "Performance & Fuel Economy" together
It's hard to say to say because everyone has different ways and opinions

We are giving guidance, douche. There is literally ten or twenty threads exactly like this, EXACTLY! Its obvious he did no effort to search, and created unneeded clutter. If you don't get it, you and the OP should seeTHIS then see it again for good measure.

here's the funny thing. there are exactly that.. thousands of the same thread. I see your point but at the same time who has time to sift through those threads when half the time the first post is wrong anyway and by the time it gers to page 5678 the the post has been changed by idiots going off topic or flaming people. this thread right here is precisely what I mean, stupid.
I amusing Jedi Knight 6 stable and well put together everything works great and super fast!

some more opinions would've been helpful. i haven't owned a s2 for some time now but it's hard to tell if much has changed. kinda see much of the same. giving my daughter one tomorrow so it would have been nice to not have to read 20 threads. and really, though, this thread isn't under development. if you're not going to be helpful, please don't bother answering.

I tried Jedi Knight 6 and had issues with the ROM freezing on shutdown or reboot. Flashing with TWRP fixed the problem for me, Clockwork Mod Recovery caused hangups.
There seems to be random issues with pictures not showing up in the gallery. Also although not a problem I didn't like that the name of the application under the icons on the home screens have been removed, and there seems to be no way to restore them.
I've been running Jedi Knight 6 for about a month now....I've had no issues with gallery pictures missing and I used Apex instead as my launcher so that I can customize my hometown the way I like it and I get the names under the app icon. I'm averaging 11 hours of battery time with about 4 to 6 hours of screen on time and over 300 apps on my phone. I know I can tweak things even more to get better battery life but I just don't know how. Hope that helps some.

A poll with most of the available ROMs would be more suitable to figure what people is using.
I am on SlimBean 3.1.0 beta, for 2 weeks now, but again, nothing lasts forever.
My favorites are JMT X3 and Liquid All-Star v5 great battery life.

Unofficial slim bean. Lightning zap kernel. Love it!
ptmr's Koodo ROM V3 is my go-to for close to stock 4.0.4 touchwiz... get ~24 hours of use with ~4 hours screen time, though i'm convinced "canadian" based ROMs work better on our phones
I think it's on par with TDJ's Telus 4.0.3 ROM for stability and performance... i just always found the contacts/favorites/dialer organization on 4.0.3 annoying
Have to go with CM10.0 or even nightlies. I have been dirty flashing CM10 nightlies for a while and very very rarely get a FC or RR. For OC or to add some governors and schedulers, try a nice kernel to go with
Just my 2ยข

Anyone know of a JB ROM that allows phone encryption? CM 10 stable or nightly does not support encryption. 9.1 does, but I really want to stay JB.
Jedi knight 6!

Phone: Samsung galaxy s2 t989
Rom: Jedi knight 6 4.0.4
Kernel: Jedi kernel 2

and you thought celebrities weren't smart. =P
In my opinion, it's all preference. I decide which ROM is best for my phone by the amount of support and regular updates the developers offer for the ROM. At the moment, I would have to say I am enjoying ROMs produced by the All-Star team, they have always been there to answer any questions.
Good luck to everyone trying to find their "best" ROM. Cheers!

Aokp and liquid smooth support phone encryption
Also, I'm struggling with really clear audio on calls. Suggestions? Running Embryo now, and that seems decent, but I don't think as clear as stock.
