Not to knock the devs here but I haven't found a touchwiz ROM that is as nice as Darkside.

It really nice how stable and nice looking ...try master and slave ture blue, GB ..I been hearing good things about embryo ROM

What made Darkside so great was that TDJ incorporated his own awesome overclockable kernel, all the run of the mill tweaks and mods all while keeping the stock Touchwiz theme. I gotta admit I genuinely miss the guy. Maybe some of the devs can take notes from his ROM. With Darkside Evolution having a thread view of over 1 million people, it STILL is the most popular ROM to ever release on the t989.

CM10 is pretty much rock solid. I'm not sure how much you care about TouchWiz but using Nova on CM10 is absolutely wonderful.

Also on Darkside Evo.. I keep going back to TW roms mostly because I like how you can call up the dialer, and just swipe a name in your favorites or call log to dial their number. Makes it a lot easier to make a call when driving. With the CM type grid layout, I have to look at the phone a lot more, and there are more thumb presses involved to find who I want to call.
and wifi calling. I use it quite a bit at my condo because reception is very poor there.
Big fan of CM10. Stable, customizable. Only downside of non-TW roms is no wifi calling
I'm using slimbean. Its a lightweight ROM and its stable.
JEDI JELLY, is fine for You. Darkside was my first Custom rom.

Hi all
I am new to the SGS2 T989. I am coming from a Nexus S 4G, which I rooted and went with Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast, running Matr1x kernel.
I am going to be using Straight Talk in Baltimore/DC. What have people's experience been with Straight Talk?
Also, because I was running a Nexus device with a lightly tweaked AOSP ROM, I would like to find something similar for the SGS2 T989. I prefer as close to vanilla as possible, I don't like CM or AOKP (why the cheesy unicorn?), because they are just too buggy imo. I've tried them all and kept going back to Bugless Beast. So, I'd like to find a ROM that is the equivalent of Bugless Beast if possible. I hope it is out there!!
Looking forward to getting to know you all on this forum!
Cheers

If you dont want cm9/10 or aokp then you'd have to take a current rom and install a different launcher. It wont be exactly the same but theres no alternative right now.
I would recommend you give AOKP a try. You can always customize it to not even notice the Little Unicorn!!
Use Jedi Rom. The best rom for our phone so far. Zero FC at all. Faster than any other rom

I actually prefer the look of the T989! Although if it were as thin as the sgs3 that would be awesome.
To me the little odd shaped physical button makes the phone look like a sprinter on steroids. Powerful, in shape, but their knob has shrunk making everything else pointless!!!

Are you a telemarketer by any chance lol you sound like one of those home shopping adverts but seriously CM10 is best, we need to create a poll for top 5 roms or something for an unbiased decision.

I would have to agree this is by far the best of the touchwiz JB roms. I aslo like the original rom from AT&T. And as for the Tweakwiz! rom goes, there is a lot of post about it not working correctly, maybe they should not be saying that all the bugs have been fixed......
All of them. I get the best battery life on tweakwiz tho

Why does it matter that he isn't arond?
I always fall back to DSE V7 or V8 after getting beat up by 4.1.2 roms...
I don't care if he personally asked me to give his rom back I'm not giving it up until something better comes along and I haven't seen anything better yet, I get less than 1% battery drain while asleep on Darkside V7 after a little of my own tweaking.

Ive had it using a dark side GB rom for a while and was wondering if there were any improvements over the last few softwares. Thanks
If you want a Rom just for calling I recommend finding three lightest weight, with the least amount of features possible. Don't get all star v7, feature heavy.

Thats why I was wondering if there was a difference between the three so I can start from there to see within either GB, ICS, or JB which had the most minimal rom that had an efficient kernel attached to it
I'd say SPEEDbean all-star.. no mods, super lightweight, call quality is good.

Gb is android 2.x, not as updated, not many features. Ics is 4.0.x which is updated with some features. Jb is 4.1.x which is feature filled. If you want good quality with few features get darkside evolution. I love this old Rom.

If you are only using the phone for a home phone. Who cares about it can do stick with get darkside digital warfare 2.7. Strip out everything that isn't needed and I have gotten 5 days with that before. No ICS and jellybean has been that good for me. Fun to use as a dd but if your not doing that then there is no point in it. Jut going to use more battery to run features you don't use.
Ya I recommend darkside roms also, that were like stock but more tweaks. The battery life is insane on them

all roms will have SOME bugs on them, even stock ones. I suggest trying a few 4.04 touchwiz based ones such as KOODO or JK, and moving from there to a AOSP based 4.1 or 4.2 rom or a 4.12 leak.

CM10.0 Stable - I find it smoother and faster compared to Touchwiz roms.
I say go to jedi mind trick or jedi jelly. Both are extremely smooth and stable.
Cyanogenmod 10 was my first ROM and I think it's pretty easy to install and use. Recently I started using PACman and it's pretty easy to use too. Just make sure you know what you're doing before you start romming!
I liked aokp because of all of the features it offered but the battery life on my tmobile galaxy s2 was not the greatest. i'm currently rocking sons of android build 2, from the maker of the jedi roms.

Embryo 6-8, just awesome my favorite to date, another one I liked was JMT but that was ICS 4.0.3, it ran great but I felt that I downgraded since my stock ROM was 4.0.4. Others I tried were AOKP 4.2.2 M1 B5, just too AOSP looking for my taste, had random crashes, Jedi Jelly this one just stuck on booting.
So:
#1 Embryo 6-8, overclocked to 1.78 using samsung governer
#2 Stock 4.0.4 Koodo
#3 JMT
