Opinions On Best Rom (Battery/Performance) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey everyone, I will be getting this phone (T989D Koodo) in the next few days and have a question.
I am coming from the LG Optimus One, a lower end smart phone. This will be my first 'major/higher end' phone.
I mainly use my phone for the essentials; texting, talking (and Camera now that I have a good one lol), and a bit of social media.
I don't play games on my phone. My phone will come with 4.0.4. I prefer stable roms with basically everything working.
What roms/kernels would everyone suggest for me? Focusing on battery life, but not decreasing performance to laggy.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: Thought I posted this in a different area(general). Mods please move to appropriate area.

I would put this on q/a

I'd try the Plain Jane ICS ROM for stability and speed. It's beautiful and minimal with performance tweaks. I personally use the MIUI ICS ROM. A lot of people are having sound quality issues in phone calls, but I have none of these issues. I have yet to jump to JB.
Good luck

Why does every thread on XDA turn into a pissing match? Yeah he posted in the wrong area, if you politely told him that and answered his question, none of this nonsense would happen. Just food for thought.

Hey, is this thread in the wrong area? Can someone help me flash a JB radio? Who can link me the guide to rooting my phone? Hey dev, you need to do this. I said now. See what I did there? Trolling like a newb.

Honestly, I'd recommend CM9 if you want solid performance and everything working properly while keeping solid battery life. It doesn't have a few of the bells and whistles that Touchwiz ROM's have, but the performance and stability are amazing.
However, if you'd prefer using a TW ROM, try out any of the 4.0 ROM's. 4.1 is neat, but still has problems no matter which one you go with. As for which one of those ROM's... I can't really say that any of them truly shines above another, so the best thing you can do is look for a highly rated/used one and try that out. Worst case scenario, you end up trying a different one instead.

First off, I'm not saying one devs work is better than the other. They all work dang hard for sure.
As far as ur preferences, mine are exactly identical and from personal taste I like jovy's darthstalker. Battery is great, its very stable and very smooth. With the same uses I average about 16 hours before needing a charge. I haven't had a chance to flash version 4 and play with it yet as I'm still enjoying version 3. Other than that, you can always flash all the roms and pick one that suits ur needs...cuz that's what I did. Good luck bud.

Who would like to see AOSP rom's developed?

I know for most the loss of s-pen defeats the purpose of the N2. But the 5.5 RGB, quadcore, would be great for something like CM10 just stock google 4.1.2 . Anyone else agree? Think it would ever happen?

Nope, cause if you're like me, you might care more about the larger screen than the S-Pen. I hardly use it at all, and I'm dying to have the option of using CM10. I really hope it'll happen!! There's a HUGE difference between the stock Samsung rom and AOSP, much more noticeable smoothness. Plus it just looks better imo; I can't stand Samsung's color scheme and design, it's quickly becoming a relic to me..

One of the nice things about rooting, is that you don't have to keep touchwiz.
Here's a nice tutorial I used to really make my device different while keeping the pen functionality.
Youtube Tutorial
I mean, I understand the idea behind AOSP, but a simple theme can be had without switching too much.
I'm guessing for you (and me fwiw), an AOSP +spen variant would be the best. Maybe you could isolate some of the more important pieces of stock sammy, and install them after AOSP.
Which is a good reason for wanting an AOSP.
I am finding swype with the s-pen almost better than two handed typing. Screen size aside, from a productivity standpoint, the s-pen > current AOSP anything.
I tried cm10 from the international version, it was cool. Of course I didn't have signal, but it everything was pretty fast.

Once I get my another laptop. (Hopefully a week) I can start building a device tree for our device phone. Then I will compile you guys a aosp from CM10 sources. I won't be using it myself tho as s daily driver and I do agree thats its pointless to have.
It won't be official because im not a part of the CM Mod team but it will be the same rom.

Thats because of the radio interface layer needs to be decompiled and edited. The htc thunder bolt was the first lte phone and any rom other then stock would not have signal becsuse of said ril files. Of course by now someone figured out how to edit this ril files. I believe I can use the knowledge I learned from editing the TB's ril fil to get CM10 working here.

I'm itching for an AOSP ROM like AOKP. I just really love the look of AOSP and Holo. I believe the best solution to the problem to find some way to automate the porting of N7100 ROMs to N7105s like TMobile/AT&T versions.
Yes some miui sounds good right about now too

I'd like that if we could get dual boot going. I really am missing Paranoid since I got the note2
noted for future reference on my Note 2
id love to see parandroid on the note 2 i havent tried it out yet but from the screenshots and reviews it seems amazing, also the omega rom has top benchmarks on the international version forum so id like to see that too
if you can get multi-window into AOSP I'm all for it. I don't use the pen that much but I love multi-window.
I think aosp and cm are definitely needed. Just look at how popular they were on the original Note.

Agreed. .. They have had that for quite a while now. I could live without the spen but it is growing on me. (One of the reasons I got this phone over the nexus 4.)
PA and AOKP is what I'm waiting for. But until then, these touch wiz roms have not been bad. Thank you CMENARD, PTMR3 and all the other developers on this forum.

[Off Topic] Rants/Trolls/???

Figured I open this new fishing lure to vent out anything that needs to be said without judgement or complaining. So if you have something you need to get off your chest do, it here...
Don't matter the topic or subject, just take the 2 minutes it would take to type it out and bash someone that obviously owes you nothing and express it here. Don't mention Dev/Rom but have at it and keep it PG-13 as possible. Could be an app that has you busting your head open, a mod or tweak... doesn't matter.Bring it here. Either ICS or JB. Makes no difference. If you have a issue that maybe someone else can help you out on, and they actually do just be kind enough to atleast say thank you. So have bout it!!!!
I'm super pissed that people can't just stop complaining about things that work pretty flawless. People argue ICS is more stable than JB. I find this to be incorrect. If that were the case, I haven't had an SOD or RR since September 18th. ICS is just an outdated OS as far as a technical stand point.

Still one advantage to ICS and that's battery life. Slapped Darkside Evolution v8 back on the other day just for hahas and got a sweet 4 hours and 12 minutes of screen on time. I'd be lucky if I got 2/3rds of that on CM10. If anyone has got any tips for me PM me cuz I have seen some of you with awesome battery life.

CM10 has always been a battery hog for me as compared to AOKP. AOSP Liquid RC7 with tweaks, CPUSleeper and flapjack kernel gives unbelievable speeds and battery times. I'll have to do a battery drain test throughout the day once I hit full charge.

Thanks dude. Looking forward to your results. I want to stay on JB but ICS is giving me much better battery life. In the end, that is what's most important after all. :-/

I'm disappointed with the newest LiquidSmooth ROM release, the RC8. It has numerous bugs that need to be sorted out, the first post in the thread for it isn't very organized (yes yes, I know reading the post would lead to less bricks, but nonetheless) and the changelog hasn't been updated for weeks. RC7 was quite perfect as it was. The RC8 could have waited until a changelog was finalized, posted, the bugs were worked out a bit better and the OP was at hand to address the issues.
(On the good side, RC7 is my favourite ROM yet by far. I'm only disappointed because I'm holding liquid up to the highest standard)
Yes, I know; no names/devs. But can't be that ambiguous.

Great article man the truth for real!!!
The purpose of the link is to reiterate the fact that a) in the start of all of this, the originals did this for the rush of making something better than what was published. b) the steady request of donations. Truthfully, those guys never asked for a penny. But now everyone asks for donations. Lol!!! c) none of the software released by devs its official firmware. Its all mods, tweaks, build prop adds but nonetheless is all for testing purpose. So why in ****s sake does anyone complain. Instead of complaining, build or create something better. As the link included says, the originals learned code. They built from scratch.
Now that's no me saying I'm a Dev or a "kanger". I'm deff not but I do read. Is it not frustrating enough to read every single thread and pages upon pages of ppl steady saying g how bad **** is? Wtf, if you don't like it well don't freaking use it. Either way that's my some what of a rant

You inherited a damn good phone lol. The recently released jellybean leaks like FK23, FL04, and FL16 offer a close experience to that of the Galaxy S3. The home screen and notification bars are nearly the same and many features are carried over to our device as well. You have some interesting motion features to try out as well.
Honestly you can't go wrong with any. All the devs put a lot of hard work into their roms, and it shows. My personal favorite for ics is blu Kuban. As of right now I am running fk23, and have been since it's release.

Congrats on getting this phone:thumbup:
Now as far as best ROMs. There is no such thing as a "best" ROM. Every user has its own preference based on whether he is a power user or a casual user, whether he is into themed ROMs or ROMs with stock feel, etc.
So you are just going to have to look in dev forums, read user posts, read OPs and then decide.
I can say so and so ROM is better but thats for my taste. You are not me. And some devs may not feel good that I left out their ROM.
So take this advise and happy flashing!

I was wondering ..what is the problem with amking a pure aosp rom? Is it the files or just that cm is more reliable? I wish there was a pure aosp rom.not a fan of cm for a couple of reason one being that it reboots/bootloop every time on my phone with stock or ktoon kernel

Also, does this banned ROM have a smooth handoff between 3G/LTE/WiFi?
I ask because I have flashed several AOSP and AOKP ROMs and they all seemed to struggle for signal strength (thus, draining the phone battery much faster than a TW ROM).

It does and works fantastically. You don't even have to focus the camera to take a picture. I tried it for a few hours and its the smoothest aosp Rom I have ever used.

Search and you will find. But you can knock as hard as you like and only one man can open that door for you...
Just Google anthrax kernels.

The post above yours is the answer you seek and there are full forums there for discussion.
I want to turn my GS3 into a Nexus, I want a pure AOSP rom.

New to smartphone enhancing

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and new to smartphone enhancing. I'm currently running build 6 of AOKP 4.2.2 on my AT&T Note II along with Apex launcher; its been a killer combo for me so far. I would like to find a good kernel that will run nicely at 1800. I haven't been able to find many kernels compatible with AOKP however. Anyways, I just wanted to say hi and I'm glad to be apart of the community.

Welcome Matt! I don't have a kernel suggestion for you but I can tell you what most developers will tell you... You don't need to OC this device. I ran mine Oc'd for the first couple of months and it didn't do anything but drain my battery faster. Just a suggestion.
But if you're dead set on trying it out I'm sure you can find something in the development section.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm running the Devil - T0lte Kernel now. I'm happy with it. I feel like the phone is overall faster and less lagy however I'm not seeing great bench mark results. What is the best bench mark tool to use?

Your senses are the best tool, since benchmarks mean absolutely zero in real world use...

That's what I figured. Just didn't know if there was one or 2 go-to apps for benching. I wish we had Intel burn test

Just know you pretty much have the fastest phone out there right now, and thats the only "benchmark" that matters...The S4 might be a tiny bit faster, but nothing you would ever notice in real world useage..
