So I gave my GS2 to my wife because I was bored with the tired TW Roms that seem to be duplicated over and over again with this device on XDA. I have been out of touch for a few months, so my question is has someone finally perfected a real AOSP rom where everything works? The closest one was the CM7, but it was busted pretty bad. Has there been any developement or is this phone still just waiting for ICS to make it come alive?

Macnut R14 for the SGS2 is underway....
Things to do?
~ Finish theming up, about 60% done
~ Contact Roman & ask a few Question as a few things have changed & I'm Kanging #TeamKAng to ensure a Solid bug free build.
~ Contact Roman for help on re-compiling issue? ( His Frameworks so better to ask the Source )
~ Few Minor issue with building the Kernel source atm.
Progress is being made & Thanks again to everyone that is & was involved with making this happen for me & the community...
~ Also putting together a CM Device Tree since the Others was closed source!!

To be fair he said that because there is an ICS news thread on an ASOP build 2-3 threads down in from the first thread in general. It makes it hard to believe you really looked around.
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.

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.
ive been searching for some kind of poll which shows peoples opinions on the best rom, i created a thread before asking CM10 or AOKP but thats not really giving me answers im looking for..
if you could choose your best rom by using the poll and then leaving a comment on why you use that rom
Thank you
P.S. im sorry i know ive missed out alot of roms but when creating this thread i only selected 6 poll options for some reason and i dont know how to change it :S aha sorry
87,000th thread about "best ROM"? Check.
Poll attached? Check.
OP as the first to answer? Check.
OP's answer as the top answer on the poll? Check.
Seems legit.

Well, about the post. You will see what rom is most installed, not the best
The best rom is the rom you like. In my case, the best rom is MIUI

I've been using the Vicious CM10 kangs rom and its been great. I used Vicious ASOP for a while too without any issues either. Both are very stable and good on battery life too.

i can't even run this rom as a toroplus user, but i know you're right
I've been using Vicious JB 4.1.1 and loving it.
i cant believe there are so many of these threads and at least 3 new ones a day... and i cant believe its not butter
I used the Vicious CM10 Nightlies for a while and they were pretty good.
Today I just flashed the AOKP Build 1 and I like it a lost so far but can't speak to its performance/batterylife.
Apoligie
Sorry for starting this thread i just wanted to create it to see the best roms starting from now... and i wanna keep updated on it
if you have a problem about it then dont read the thread and dont comment on it :S im not telling you to read it or make a vote i was only asking if you could so take your stupid comments elsewhere cause i dont even care i just wanted other peoples opinions on the latest roms!!!!!!
Sorry again
Thanks to everyone posting there favorite rom though and voting i really appreciate it
AOKP Build 1.

I'm using AOKP JB Build 1 right now and loving it but I was using Paranoid Andriod JB alpha builds before and they were pretty good too considering they were alpha stage. Have a look at the threads for each ROM that interests you and read some of the more recent feedback from users to see what problems (if any) people are having. Most importantly, make a nandroid and give the ROM(s) a go. Try each for a couple of days or a week and you'll find what works best for you.

I just got my GSIII sunday and I rooted it monday. I'm getting use to the device as is after root and now i think i want to flash a rom now. My question is what's the hottest rom out for the GSIII? I'm mostly interested in wifi tethering I've just learned (from experience) the dang wifi stops working after a few minutes (BUMMER) But other than the free wifi i'm also interested in speed. Thanks in advance guys!

Development is still ongoing for wifi tether.
There are about as many threads in q and a on this topic as there are roms... Seriously, there are some good tw based roms and several original development roms... You will need to get yourself educated as to rooting and flashing and trying out the various ones out there... I could tell you aokp rules, and that suggestion, in its own right, would create so much debate that you would never get a satisfactory answer.
Get your flash on, and do some reading too.... There are plenty of good roms.

So Ive never had a device (even on sprint) that has no development to be seen within a weeks period of time. I believe the Root we have is from other devices and the CM 10.2 build that was posted was something that was supposed have never seen the light of day and was broken. I totally love this phone but I was really excited for the development aspects since its basically nexus 5 with a different shell. Anyone else with the sprint variant a little worried by the lack of interest?
I'm on the same boat, many probably are.
This phone is still solid stock.. all I really need is tethering... patiently waiting

Those other carrier variants have been out way longer than ours. We've only had ours for 1 week now. Give it a bit more time?

Development is under way. There are 2 devs working on a CM 10.2 ROM right now and another working on a version of CleanROM for us. Its going to take some time and the phone hasn't been out for a week yet.
Also the CM 10.2 ROM was removed because the build was not tested and verified by the dev to be working and they removed the links to it in case it caused a potential brick to the phone. People who downloaded the ROM say it had GPS lock and rotation issues so you don't want to download the ROM anyways. In fact they saved you the hassle of reverting back to stock or a nandroid backup. Read the last few posts in that CM 10.2 thread to get a sense of the situation.
I am not worried at all about the "lack of interest" in this phone. You have to remember that not all the potential devs have received the phone yet such as garwynn who probably just received the phone today. Lets give the potential devs some time to come out with new ROMs and other mods. There are enough ways currently to mod the current stock ROM anyways through Xposed and other mods like (increase volume).
Its only been a week. Our device was rootable even before Sprint released it. I'm not worried. For now I've been using Greenify + Titanium Backup to keep my phone in battery/performance BEAST MODE.

Install G2 xposed and you'll see you can do a lot of the customization yourself. There's also an xposed kitkat theme in the theme's section by ock. The device is already fast and ignoring aosp roms, you can customize the stock rom to your liking.

I guess I didn't think about the fact that the other variants had been out for a few months already, but I really wasn't trying to comparing them. I was just noticing that compared to devices I've had in the past (even the SGS II which I hated lol) had some things pop up pretty quickly. Also make sure that no one takes this as me complaining, just thinking out loud here.
And as to the xposed stuff, Im atually just interested in some slimed down stock roms and AOSP, but thanks for making sure I knew about it
PS: Ive also had this phone for close to a month so Im probably feeling that rom flash bug harder than most XD
