I just rooted my Galaxy S II T989 and I'm still new to this rooting thing. I want a good rom that's clean/neat, customizable, and does not eat up battery fast.

Try Cyanogen Mod 10.1 it's based on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and you just get it on get.cm . Also, you would need to flash Gapps found on Rootzwiki. Google instructions. I would personally flash snapshots if I were you.
Just try all rom I personaty like jb 4 mind trick

Hi guys I have a T-mobile Samsung SGH-T989 galaxy s2.
Im looking for a rom that is simple, fast and has a better battery life.
Could you guys plz include some links because I already bricked my phone once and had to replace it.
Thank you
If you are looking for gb roms try slick mod I used for a while battery life is sick its fast and light.. Lots of gb roms are out there great once head to develop forum and make sure to follow the directions so you don't brick your phone again.. As of ics they are bit buggy I would stay away and try gb roms first enjoy

Thanks for the reply, could you give me a link plz? i dont want to get the wrong rom like i did when i bricked my old phone
What's the difference between GB ROMS AND Ics ROMS? Do you think i can use the [ROM] Juggernaut v5.0 because i just rooted my phone like 2 days ago.

Ics is the latest version of android and has been further optimized and includes more features compared to gingerbread. It hasn't been officially released for our phone so ics roms are still buggy.
You can use whatever rom you'd like

Just left my galaxy d2vzw and flashed an unofficial 10.1 it broke data to where I had 1x to nothing.. I flashed every ROM even Odin back stock root66 reprovision my sim. even got a new one and still no no more than 1xrtt to nothing..
Last time I was on my nexus I loved gummy and AOKP.
Any suggestions?
4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1
Which ROMs solid for each?
how broken is 4.2.1?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
its a nexus device, no need to hack anything to get 4.2.1 running, so 4.2.1 isnt broken at all. every rom listed in the development section is safe. you can even compile 4.2.1 from aosp yourself and run it if you wanted to. recommendations.. try out a bunch, find whats good for you. there are no bad roms.
Xenon HD is stable and fast..xylon is great as well..both 4.2.1

see, the problem with these kinds of threads start with this statement. best rom there is according to whom? i dont even think its close to the best rom. in fact, to me its rather bloated. best rom is subjective. every person has different needs, so every person has their own ideas to what best is. there is no best rom, theres only the best rom for you.
Stock ROM, most solid and safe, can't go wrong.
all the 4.2.1 roms i have tried are stable.. so try them and stick with the one YOU like
What is the most stable rom to flash on this phone?
That's a trick question there are numerous stable roms. Do you want jb, ics, gingerbread?

^^^^ this.
And besides, most of the available Roms are equally stable / very soon to be stable.
Do a good flash, making sure to wait a while right after flashing, and all will be good.

You need Jedi Jelly 6. Its a Samsung Touchwiz ROM. I have had nothing but smooth performance.

I've really been enjoying the AOKP Jellybean. There are some minor issues with bugs being worked out with the nightlies, but overall it's dope!
I've been on CM 10.1 nightly 03/23 since that day and it's really nice. Everything works smoothly and CM is a pleasure.

Does the TouchWiz work on it?
touchwiz = jedy jelly or stock
aosp = cm

I second this one. Jedi Jelly 6 is very smooth. My only issue with it is that it's based off of a leaked AT&T ROM.
I believe ptmr3 (the dev) is working on a new version that is based on the recent 4.1.2 release specifically for the SGH-T989.
I switched to an AOSP based ROM and I'm never looking back despite wifi calling being a cool feature, but I never used it. Anyway, I've been using 2.2 Slimstars which was pretty great. The updates seemed to be a little unstable like the camera not working. Is the new one, 4.12 pretty much fixed? And are there many changes with 4.2.2? I may try PACman. How's that stability wise? Stability and speed (I just want it to work without waiting you know?) are priorities.
ptmr3's Jedi Mind Trick JB 2.1 is by the the fastest and smoothest and glitch free rom out there
I have tried almost all roms of the ICS and JB flavour
personally I do not like non touchwiz roms
and all CM and AOKP 4.2 roms do not support MHL output or Bluetooth mouse properly
everything seems to work on JMT except for OP known issues
hey guys finally got my s4 and got it rooted. im looking for a rom/kernal combo with optimal performance and also has amazing battery life. what are you running and how does it perform?
The stock MDL rom evilart made with the ktoonz kernel. Runs smooth and fast with good battery life.

If you are looking for the best and most reliable custom rom which is available now for the Galaxy S4 M919 Tmobile phone look no further.
Get the Wicked v3 custom rom, it's fast, error free and has a lot of nice mods.
This rom is based on the stock MDL Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 rom for the Tmobile M919 phones.

If you decide to flash this rom be sure to do a full wipe which includes Factory Reset, Wipe System, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
before you start flashing the rom.

Currently I'm looking to flash a rom onto my Gs3 that has Multi-Window enabled, but maybe something that doesnt involve touchwiz(?), I'm just a newbie to XDA and I wasn't sure on what the best Roms for my Gs3 that still have Jelly Bean, but aren't exactly stock rom are. I've been looking at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176793
But one thing i noticed is that in the description it talks about how the dev removed VERIZON bloatware and VERIZON ota updating, which makes me a little skeptical as to flashing it to my AT&T GS3. Any and all suggestions on what a good, stable rom with Multi-window and possibly some of the other GS3 original features would be appreciated!

Multi-window is a touchwiz feature, so u can't have it without a tw ROM. Check out S3Rx. Awesome ROM, insanely customizable, great support!! A lot of the other ROMs u will see use these guys mods in their ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252932
+1 to S3Rx.
and also to Intergalactic 3.0
both are TouchWiz based, and have multi-window.
A vote for deTmobilized also by enewman17. I tried the sr3x rom but wasn't fond of it.
Can't go wrong with Slimbean, it's not touch wiz though. Plus they just released JB 4.3 today.

Also +1 for S3rX. In theory it should be better than DeTMO, because it's an ATT base with all the funness added on top.
I personally love it and have it on mine and my wife's phones.

Quantum rom with bionic sheep kernel. It's ridiculously smooth and fast. Like its insane how nice it is. I've flashed a lot of roms over the past few months and this takes the cake. Running 4.3 as well is cool. That or I'd say TASK650 rom was sexy too.

Actually, I have the same question. I just got one AT&T version GS3. I don't like all AT&T bloatware, but I like stock ROM quality(in terms of stability, and smoothness).
Which version has no AT&T bloatware, has multi-window support, and as reliable as Samsung stock ROM ?
Thanks all in advance for all replies.

Root the stock 4.1.2 rom and debloat it manually. I have done this on 4 of my relative's I747 and they haven't had any issues.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4
For what its worth, Dandroid is my TouchWiz choice. Completely stock with a CM feel to it. I was getting great battery life out of it too! Its debloated and runs very fast! I also have to agree with KuRuPtIoN, that Slimbean is a good choice. Just tried the 4.3 and its rock solid. I have flashed almost every rom on these forums a couple of times, and I always come back to Dandroid for TouchWiz and either Slimbean or Tasks AOKP for non TouchWiz

I agree with this totally. TiBu will help you debloat the useless stuff that AT&T deems to put on the phone and it gives you more control in terms of disabling those pesky services you don't want running. I've been running the update just to see what improvements were made and so far so good once I debloated. I will be reverting back to AOSP soon though because I want the 4.3 goodness more than I want Samsung "goodies".
