Hi there
I got a Docomo Nexus. I have a galaxy s2 also. I thought I would had the same challenges here...
Guess what... i installed Cwm. The only challenge for me. Installed latest Akop and for the first time I am not changing a rom from 3 days. Everything works here.
I am getting bored. please give dome directions to have fun and play with my phone.
For example. Is there a kernel that gives somehow better battery life? Any other rom better than Akop? Any substitute for macro feature missing in the camera app?
I used to search for perfection in galaxy S2 and I was switching between cm9, custom roms to find a perfection...please understand me, hope so...

First of all, AOKP is not the best ROM. CM9 is faster and Slim ICS is the fastest ROM with the same features as AOKP.
Secondly, I'd recommend finding something else to do with your time than worry about how your phone is "boring".

I understand your reasoning. Since we already have the latest and greatest there's not much to look forward to until Jelly Bean leaks.
Play Frisbee golf with your nexus?
zippity doo da.
Finding the answers to the questions that you asked is half the fun, for me at least. If there was a definitive "best" ROM or kernel there would be very little need for such a development based community. If you are looking for fun I would suggest looking at the market for one of the many games available.

What is true differs for every person. For example, you couldn't pay me to use AOKP (do not ask why, I won't tell you).
Do I believe that any rom is faster than any other? No I do not. Do I believe kernels can change that? Yes I do.

So what do you use? I see you're a developer: do you have your own rom? Pardon my ignorance I'm still new here. Have yet to remember a username and connect that with the work they've done.
If I guess right will you tell me? Do they work for the government and have installed keyloggers so when we say anti obama things to our friends in texts the black choppers will show up at your house, and if you tell anyone they will kill you? If so I wouldn't use it either... Or tell me why
I have gone AWOL as of last release (too much personal business to handle) but I work with a team. We put out BAMF Paradigm. I am but one member, and certainly not the main one.
My reasonings for not using AOKP are not because of that, however
I use Paradigm 1.2 with my own modifications.

I was bored with my nexus as well and my only suggestion is to buy another phone lol. Although I can't seem to recommend getting rid of the GN. I bought a One X and that is providing some new amusement.

Make phone calls. Text your friends (if applicable). Browse the Play Store.
Luv some comments.
Guess that some here don't have a galaxy s2 and haven't tried to update constantly CM9 to get video recording feature...
i was just trying to say that nexus is so different from galaxy s2 world.

I'm slightly bored as well.
I've been looking for 3rd party apps that follow the ICS guidelines. Makes the phone much more fun.
Download Temple Run from the Market and I gurantee : you will never be bored with your Nexus again

i started with AOKP and never regret it, i also tested SlimICS which for sure has not same features as aokp, i also tested liquid which is nice but only english, i also tried cm9, also nice but i miss the aokp stuff in it.
For me AOKP is the best, i always come back to it and now i will stay with it, it has everything i want and just works.
For kernel i use Imoseyons Leankernel which worked for me always the best, i get around 3h also sometimes 3 1/2h screen ontime with it, and over night it loose almost nothing.
I tried also francos kernel, which is also nice, but with it i had sod issues and other stuff, but it is still a good kernel many people love it, i will stay with Leankernel.
I use to post and utilize this forum when I had a Vibrant. I love my SII. In fact, I love it so much that, although I bought it the day it came out, I have waited until now to finally root it.
I'm so out of the loop. Are the ICS roms ready to go as daily drivers or should I wait until T-Mo drops theirs? If it's all G2G, then what are your opinions on what's best?
If you feel that Ginger is better as a daily, which is good to jump into?
Keep in mind that I am not looking for super powers and problems. I just want a good daily driver. I like being able to back **** up and use some of the features available to rooted devices, drop bloat, and theme a bit.
I'll run a log of my experiences and try to find issues, if necessary, so that this thread can appropriately stay in this section. If that still is considered a rule breaker, then I politely ask the MODs to move it to the best section.
Thanks in advance.

Digital warfare 2.5.1 is the most stable and best battery life of any rom here
Not sure if you read the end of my post but if you had, it makes your reply pointless, with all due respect. Thanks though.

Whether you run a log of issues or not, the topic has no bearing on development.
I can tell you from experience that the ICS Perfection is a pretty stable build. I have been running it for a week without much of a hicup. Obviously the gingerbread ROMs are more stable then the ICS ones. I used the CM7 build as a daily driver before ICS and lived it. Since I went to ICS, Eugene has started work on fixing some of the bugs on his version of CM7. Best thing to do is test them out and see what one is your style.

Then I would like a MOD to please move it as soon as possible.

I could say black edition but that would be self serving. The point is try them yourself and figure out which one you like.
Any rom from the I9100 thread should work good for a fella such as your self.

OK so I have the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I am running Aokp #5. I don't know much about Kernals, or the radios. Rite now I'm running stick on both I believe. So my question is (because I'm loosing signal a lot) what is the most current radio and what are some good Kernals for this phone/ Rom.
Its kernels not kernals.
The most current radio is the 4.0.4 one. Kernel: Franco.
All of these could of been answered if you read and didn't ask before looking for yourself.

Thanks. Was just asking a simple question. I looked around and wanted an opinion. Thanks for the spell check. Have a good day man.
P.s I doesn't hurt to ask and doesn't hurt to answer a question. Next time when you feel like giving a douche bag answer remember just pass the question up man. Some people are new, some don't know. Some aren't as advanced as you with computer stuff and are learning a new way to improve their phones. Be civil dude

Just recently some people on VZW got the 4.0.4 update OTA and it includes new radios afaik. There is a thread or maybe two about signal improvements with these new radios. As far as the kernel, Franco is a popular choice. It has a control app in the Play Store. But there are several good ones and everybody likes something different, have a look at the feature list and see what you think.
Just wondering if this section for the same model phone Telus offers? Cause from Telus its called S2X.
Also what is everyone favorite rom? Im coming froma Fascinate running ICS passion which worked great and i enjoyed it.
Looking for the same basically with some great battery life.
Thanks to all that help.
I am using that phone too my friend. Welcome! Yes you may proceed into flashing all kinds of wonderful roms from this section. Now hold on tight and enjoy the ride because you will never go back!

yes! every ROM here is compatible with the telus galaxy S2X.. there are a lot of really good ROM's to choose from I hate to pick a favorite..
if you are looking to try something different, then may I suggest MIUI..
I think you should try a few ROMs on your own to see which one suits you..
and remember.. just have fun with it
Which ones you guys running now? What do you like about it? Anything that dont work?
Thanks

IMO the best rom out right now is Darkside UCLE2
Just remember that if you do go with an ICS rom, read the OP carefully and follow the instructions to the T. They can be a little bit more tricky. But the smoothness and battery life is unbeatable.

Questions go in the Q&A section
I'm looking at PAC MAN rom ann the ParanoidKANGdriod, I don't really see a diffrence between the 2. Does one run smoother? is there a better battery life on one, more options on one than the other? I'm new to rooting and android (1st time having one) so this is all new to me. My phone is rooted and i'm currently running PAC MAN rom but i'm going to be on the lookout for diffrent roms and im willing to try anything. Thanks for bearing with me .... an android noob :silly:
Flash it and see
Seriously, it's really all personal preference. The only way to find out what's best for you is to try them.
In my school there was somthing called difference between ; where two objects were put on side by side and analyze features.
It matters what u want how you want.
