2.3.6 Help w/ Roms & Data Issues?

Im a Noob here guys, so let me appologize in advance...Ive been a little trigger shy about starting this thread to say the least, so here are my issues...
Like a noob I updated my new gs2 right out of the box to 2.3.6 without even considering problems with roms. I was able to gain root access with zedomaxs gs2root.com tutorial, as I did with my last gs2 on original firmware.
I am currently on juggs 4.1 & its working nicley except my data speeds have dropped from 12-15 mbps down to 2-6. My battery life seems to be okay but i dont remember how stock was as i left the gs2 for a short while for the amaze wich had AWFULL battery life, so anything seems great in comparison. I want to get my data speeds corrected, & I also would really like to move to bombaridier rom but im not sure exactly wich roms I will be able to use with the ota upgrade I did? I was going to flash it & see if everything went okay as it seems to be a very attractive rom for my needs, but I would rather not do anymore flashing without learning if there are any risks with flashing roms while on the 2.3.6 firmware, & whether or not I am going to be experiencing issues on all roms with this particular update on my device.
I am also curious as to if I will be able to unroot my gs2 since I rooted it with the new firmware this time.
My final question is are there any stable AOSP roms I could use with this firmware? I am by no means experienced but I have rooted and flashed several roms on my old htc sensation but i have never tried aosp, so i suppose I may just be interested in an opinion on this matter.
I have read alot of info/threads on xda so I dont want to come off as lazy, & my brain is almost overloading with the vast amount of info I read on this AMAZINGLY informative site. I am a person who LOVES to gain knowledge & self educate, so your site has become quite addictive to me over the past 6-8 weeks!
I am very sorry, but I can be a little long winded, & if anyone out there could forgive my lack of understanding and provide me with any advice or guidance on what my options may be, & if I have any possible risks running roms on this firmware, I would be more than happy to click your donate button, as I am so very appreciative of all the free knowledge the great ppl of xda have provided me! I feel lucky to have access to your site, & I am looking foreward to one day becoming a productive & contributing member.
Thank you, Joe T.- androholic

The upgrade to 2.3.6 enables wifi calling and a new radio. So far, I haven't noticed any problems with the update.
I'm not familiar with the root method you used. I used the Odin method to root mine. It is possible to go back to completely stock though. So, you don't have to worry. I believe there is a thread in the general section, or development section about doing so.
There are two CM7 roms in the dev section. Both are basically alpha builds and have some bugs. There are also two roms the have touchwiz removed.
I'm not sure about the data speed issues. Maybe try flashing a different rom and see if it changes?

The method I used to root was odin as well. If I flash bombaridier I would assume I am safe then? I also have my stock root backup, as well as a backup of juggernaut 4.1. I have done the unroot process before, I just was not sure if it would have the same outcome since I rooted with odin on the new firmware. also,am I okay to flash any rom, even though I am on the 2.3.6 firmware or are there any that may cause serious problems being they were probably written for previous firmware versions? THANK YOU so very much for your reply! I dont want to beat a dead horse, I guess I am looking for confirmation that flashing roms on the new firmware, isnt a big no no , or requires any xtra steps....Thanks again to you!

First, i am going to assume someone will complain about this posts location...
Second, that’s a hard question to answer... No phone is created the same... So you will find many times a ROM will run perfect for one user, and just so so for the next... Its really all about you... What works best... Taking the time to flash and drive a ROM for a few days is always the best option...
That said, Tweaked 2.1 found here is by far the best Touchwiz based ROMs... It doesn’t rely on Aroma... What it does have in Aroma are all nice, clean mods that work the first time... On top of that... Tweaked Aroma works a little differently... You can set it once, it makes a backup of your preferred installs... And keeps it... That way next time you flash, you don’t need to do Aroma all over again... All of the work to the ROM itself are done with actual coding, making it far slimmer than the rest...
If you flash it the right way, it’s a onetime flash... Go be happy sort of ROM...
PLEASE, for the love of god... Do NOT take this as me bashing other ROMs... This is just my preference and thoughts... If anyone has a different point of view, SUPER RAD for you... Don’t get all bent over a barrel about my stance...

Look my friend, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but this in no way development so should not be in this section. There is a section labeled Q and A for questions.
Having said that these what ROM threads end up getting locked because they're pointless and end up in bickering and arguing.
There are like 10 current ROMs. Just read them and some peeps comments. When you find one that sound good, make a backup and flash it. If it isn't what you want restore your backup.
One last tip the 4.2.2 (AOSP) will have the most bugs and from what I've read worst battery life. So focus on the TW based ROMs. I went ahead and reported this thread so it can be moved before you very flamed. Please just pay attention where you post on the future
Ps I second tweaked

I thorough enjoy Jedi master 14. It has great battery life, speed and quite a few features and themes. It also has Wifi calling which is very nice to have on tmobile.
Also, please take this to the Q and A section. Better yet, we should report this so the mods move it. We don't need another one of these threads opened.
I hope this helps bud!

No Time For Nightlies, Weeklies!!!

Hey Everyone,
I am sure this has come up before. I have been using Jedi Mind Trick 6, happily for a while now. I have had VERY FEW ISSUES until the other day when the phone shut off while browsing and I needed to restore my DATA. It wasn't that terrible but I can't have this happening while I am out in the field. I wanted to try another ROM but I can't seem to find anything that is STABLE. It looks like there are some camera issues with a lot of new ROMs. I rely on my camera and take a lot of pics. I know that this question is severely frowned apon BUT there are WAY TOO MANY ROMs for this phone. It seems like none of them are really stable and have way too many updates. I don't have time to update nightly or weekly. What ROM is the closest in reliability and performance to Jedi Mind Trick? I have been reading through threads for DAYS! Someone please give me a recommendation! Thanks in advance.

Many will disagree with you. And just cause you see a post or 2 in a thread saying something doesn't work....doesn't mean it's an issue for everyone.
So.....most will ignore this thread I'm afraid....but I can tell you what they are thinking ....just flash some roms until you find one that works good for YOU. Because that's the only way you will know what works good for you .
You will find some say this rom or that rom is perfect, and some will say this rom or that rom has issues. Asking is pointless I'm afraid.
My only advice....you prolly wanna try 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 roms for now. 4.3 is almost there, and for some its perfect too.....but others have issues. Or use 4.1.2 stock and call it a day.
Not all phones or users are created equal. The only way to find things that work for you is to flash them.
No offence intended .....but if you wanted stability over experimentation.....you picked the wrong phone.

Good advice to go with 4.2 ROMs. As you can see in my signature I'm no noob when it comes to flashing ROMs. My HD2 is a great phone. And you are right that this phone isn't that great but with the Jedi Mind Trick ROM it runs really well with great battery life. I was shocked when I had to restore DATA.
I just wish there weren't so many damned ROMs!

Can't believe u think there are too many ROMs lol, I think ur the only Hercules owner to ever say that, yes I can almost guarantee nobody is going to agree with u, and as far as ROMs with issues, I haven't seen one issue yet on beanstalk 4.3 or hellybean 4.3, actually to think of it there aren't many issues at all in most of the 4.3 ROMs up there lol and as was said before just because u see one person say the don't like something doesn't mean there are instabilities or issues man, go get a non developer supported device or go back stock if u don't like it lol but don't complain here about to many choices because that's why this forum is here, to offer choices lol

SlimBean & XenonHD
I had been using SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 8 and it has been almost rock-solid. Camera works great w/o any issues. They have a great team working behind it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060374
I just yesterday tried XenonHD which has excellent battery life and is looking very stable. Only my GPS isn't working right now on my device. Other that it is great. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438585

[Q] 4.1.2.vs.4.2.2

Hardly an exciting subject, though just 'upgraded' my G Grand to 4.2.2., so far not really into the small changes, and might reflash 4.1.2.. Will see how the battery life compares, doubt there's any difference though, missing some off the user settings and stuff.
What do you guys think? If there is a link regarding this topic, or any knowledge on the pros/cons 412 vs 422 thanks in advance..... Maybe there is a link in this site with a subject already on this, so please leave a link..
Much thanks, and have a great week.....
My 2 cents worth for anyone thinking of going 422,are stay 412, though only flashed 422 today, so will give it a go for a week, and see....
Regards, Alex

what is the best custom lollipop rom?

hi there.. i'm new here..
i want to flash lollipop on my girlfriend's phone.. i have no clue.
which one is better in battery and performance and bug free?
it's important.. if anythings goes south she'll kill me i guess.. loves her phone more than me..
E988 i think. kitkat is on her phone now..

hi there.. really? nobody knows?

Nobody cares! People ask which ROM is the best question too many times, enough to form it's own threads, so if you really need somebody to tell you which is the best, use the search function. Otherwise my suggestion is to try different ROM, start out with the official ones such as blisspop and cm12. All the ROM here is mostly based on cm, I'm currently using Bliss pop, which is the best ROM IMO. Which is just my opinion, and that's why nobody cares to reply because it's just an opinion.

thanks man for reply.. at least there are some people who own these phone tried some rom and know about the bugs or ect..
i own g pro 2 and happy to help out.. but a quick and short answer does not kill anyone..we are here to learn and teach and share..

Sure thing, but this device is getting up there in term of smart phone years, also the number of subscribers have decreased in recent months because they too have move on to other devices. Those are two reasons why no one replies to you.
