Hi All,
I had a 10.1 Wifi for a couple of Days and Flashed Task650's ROM and I love it, sold it and Getting a 3G tomorrow but I cannot leave with Stock ROM so I am just wondering what is the best 3.2 3G ROM on here to flash.
Thanks in advance

well you have 3 choices:
complete stock, KJ6
custom that is just stock with root and deodex, Ganbarou 0.3
and custom rom that has more modification and tweaks, Overcome 2.0.0
depends how much you want to stay close to or on stock. Both the custom roms are new this week, so expect them both to have updates as the developers add themes, tweaks etc. (such as extended power menu) -- all three have English and 6 other language options only -- so as a UK user you are in luck. Both have modest themes at this point: more to come and Vertumas is updating his theme for 3G
All three will work with either Pershoot's kernel or RieGo's 0.7 kernel -- but both kernel developers are promising updates this weekend based on the 3.2 firmware, so you may want to wait for those mods to come in too.

I know I'm way late with this reply but....I recently flashed [ROM][JB4.2] Ganbarou GT-P7500/01/10/11 Android 4.2 experimental based on CM10.1
and I love it. One thing I like is that the battery seems to last as long or longer. I use it for my workout programs so it's very important it doesn't die on me LOL :laugh::highfive:

I just wanted to know whats the best stock rom for S II. I am happy with the phone's performance on 2.3.3. I want every features of the stock rom better audio quality, google talk with video calls and atlast tad better battery life.
Well, i think the battery life is depend on individual settings, like 3G,Wifi,sync etc.
For me is Leomar75 Revolution the best Rom at the moment. It comes with a kitchen app that allows you to install themes,roms and kernels. i tried Skyrom, Criskelo and lightning. look in the thread from Leomar and then decide for yourself.
2.3.4 is almost knocking on the door, so no benefit to discuss about 2.3.3, still am using the KF3 for a month now, very stable and the best IMO.
Criskelo V10, Lighning 5,Skyrom 4.0 and LeoMar75 2.4 are based on the latest firmware XXKG6 Gingerbread 2.3.4, LeoMar is the only with FullWipe (Apps and Settings cleared)
The next official Stock Firmware with 2.3.4 will be roll out soon
As the first rom i would use litening rom, no root needed and it can ne flashed via odin. Comes with root and cwm. At the moment i like leomar rom most, his kitchen app is really cool and easy to use, for kernels rom updates themes and other stuff. Nearly every day updated .
You have to try.
the best roms are:
1 - samsung stock
2 - CM
3 - AOSP ports
Other roms bring next to nothing (couple of menu item tweaks and sound tweaks) but bugs and a skin. You've to realize that all the claims they make about speed or battery have no substance, there is nothing that is done toward those goals and 99% of them don't actually know what they're doing at all. Sad state of affairs if you ask me.
I have tried almost all the ROMs out here in XDA, except CyanogenMod. Out of all the ROMs that I tried, MIUI is the best in terms of User Experience and User Interface and above all the super fantastic battery life. Go and give it a try, you wont be disappointed. This is the REAL ROM, the MIUI guy has taken customization totally to a different level.
If you're a fan of stock with some few subtle additions try Darky2 KG6 ROM. I applied the ROM (No wipe), then applied the odexer zip and then a JKay theme and app from the themes section. Looks sweet and works perfectly
Cm (Cyanogenmod) is a very good rom, but not at this time and not if you using Kies. I am waiting for stable Version and will test it too
LeoMar is a very good rom. The kitchen app is very useful if you want to flash kernels,themes and if there is a new update you can flash it thru kitchen app.
CM7 Ftw! And of course for a full AOSP eperience, you can try AdamG's Oxygen!
I will be sticking to CM7 though, for me it's the best, fully customizable and full of tweaks.
Thank for guiding
I beleive I should try no wipe roms at first then I should try the full-wipe roms.
I got my SGS2 in june 2011. At first I had stock roms but soon in august I moved to Checkrom RevoHD (Then still named Revolution HD)
And because rom was so good I just keep it the whole time. Latest version was v6 (2.3.6) released in February. Now developer just confessed he won't support rom anymore because he has moved to SGS3, has a life, etc.
The rom was so good and stable I'd never planned to replace. But now I think it's time.
Now the results of using just one rom whole time is I don't know what's currently going on, on custom rom dev scene.
So I'm now searching for a rom with folowing criteria and I'm seeking for your help:
:good: ICS of course,
:good: At least as much stable as Checkrom RevoHD was,
:good: Good performance-battery ratio,
:good: Stock Samsung's SGS2 looking (I don't want rom to be custom themed or visually changed. ex revoHD users know how checkrom looked)
:good: Some useful mods are welcome. Checkrom had kitchen. (Jkay was useful for Statusbar shortcut editing, we had browser useragent selection mod, modded camera app, sms mod so stupid phone won't convert long sms to mms..) Anything that can be generaly usefull.
:good: Oh and lastly good dev support (That means I wont need to look for another rom when next android update is released or bug found.)
I always used siyah kernel and will continue but you are welcome to change that. If you think there is better kernel out there tell me. Personally I would like more battery life, but not decreased performance.
Thank you for all your help. I will read this thread for few days and then decide.
And Rip Checkrom RevoHD (2011-2012) One of the best roms for Galaxy S2...
1) This one.
2) In light of 1), your thread won't be open for days (mods will be closing it presently). In other words, go over to the development sections, read up on some roms, then try a few out until you find one you like.
Search, read, test them out and make that decision yourself. Locked.
Cheers
my first post, please don't flame (too hard).
I've helped others with GPS and Play store glitch after jelly bean update, and now looking for some help.
My wife has an S2 i777 and did SIM unlock to use with T-MO.
It's GB 2.3.6. The PDA is i777 UCKK6.
I'm looking for RTL with Arabic language support. I've done weeks of reading and I found this nice thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292841 But that ONLY supports UCKH7
This phone is not rooted.
Looking for noob instructions for RTL arabic support.
Thanks in advance.
1. Upgrade to ICS and you should have proper Arabic support sans keyboard - AFAIK Hebrew/Arabic/all RTL language support was first introduced on ICS. When on ICS, download any Arabic keyboard from Play Store and you should be good to go.
2. Or move to deodexed GB ROM (any custom ROM) and run madmack's Arabic patcher (google it and you'll find it). It should work on any deodexed GB ROM, since it's based on Hebrew patcher that decompiles/recompiles the framework - but it's also the reason why it can't work on stock odexed ROM.
I suggest option 1.
Thanks Jack.
1) I heard that ICS was a complete failure and has bricked many i777 S2's. Are you saying to root and use custom ROM as opposed to the ATT update?
2) found what deodexed means... www wugfresh .com /guides / deodex/
Do you have any experience with the i777 S2 and ATT ICS OTA update?
Thanks
1. ICS is generally a better system on this phone IMHO. I do suggest moving to it through custom ROMs rather than through stock official upgrade - stock-based custom ROMs offer stock stability with customization options, and EMBRYO 5.4 is a good ROM that I'm happily running. Not sure how relevant the infamous "brickbug" is, but it's irrelevant for most custom ROMs.
If anyone more familiar with "brickbug" can chime in - you might get a better picture. I got mine with Gingerbread, installed TWRP recovery and flashed custom ROM about 1/2 hour after I got the phone, so I have no experience with stock GB/ICS.
2. "Deodexed" means - not odexed. With Google help:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
Stock ROMs are always odexed, so you'll have to move to a sort of custom ROM anyway. And if you do - you might as well go a better route than staying on GB.
Since I'm the kk6 (2.3.6) GB, do I need to downgrade factory image first in order to root? Or is there a tool out there to root and put a custom ROM (ICS or JB custom ROM).
Thanks
It's not one tool, it's more.
Read the stickies, they contain rooting guides. See that you understand what you're doing before proceeding.
Thanks Jack. I was just wondering if I needed to downgrade GB version first.
No, you don't need.
Just to let you know, there is a thank button to thank the user that helps you.
It's used a lot here on XDA.
You can thank 8 a day.

Hi All
Long story short, my phone broke and samsung fixed it under warrantee. They returned it with the vodaphone 4.3 flavor OS which was bloated to bursting point with all the crap-ware they add. So naturally the phone was dead slow, which prompted me to flash it to the 4.3 BTU. The phone is quite fast now, but the updates don't work so I'm stuck with those dreaded initial 4.3 software bugs, wifi connectivity & battery drain to name just 2.
I'd like to know if there are any decent & stable 4.4 ROMs available? I have tried CM11 earlier this year, but that didn't work to well, it was quite buggy.
I'd love to be able to install the 4.4.x BTU, but as far as I can tell, it hasn't been released (yet?).
Advice would be great.
Thanks!

I never expirienced any strange bugs like eith new 4.3 uodates, try using some great custom 4.3 roms out here, like archidroid, neatrom, arhd etc. Just search and try, combine it with a custom kernel and your phone will be reborned.
4.4.x ism't and won't be released for s3, because, well, samsung is $#&*, but you have note2 4.4 ports, like QS kitkat Archiport, and s5 themed like Blekota etc. But these 4.4 ports are having graphical glitches which occur for some, for some not, but as I see, Lord Boeffla updated his Boeffla kernel and in new updates graphical glitches are gone, battery life is much better and wifi direct and screen mirroring are working.
So if you want best stability go with custom 4.3, if you want to test out the kitkat experience which should be good now if combined with Boeffla kernel then go with some 4.4 port.
And don't forget, best rom threads are not allowed and will be closed by moderator, you should try what xda world has to offer and then decide.

How do I load a custom kernel? I've only ever flashed with Odin and then that was just the ROM.
Just as a matter of interest, 4.4 has been released for the S3 on certain carriers.
Flash the kernel through your custom recovery.
Only the versions of the s3 which have 2gb of ram have kitkat..other versions do not including the international version

Just as Pulseuser mentioned, 4.4 is released only for i9305 LTE variant of s3.
About custom kernel, the easiest method is to root your phone using cf-autoroot, just google cf auto root and download the .tar.md5 for Odin for i9300 S3. Then when your phone is rooted download ROM Manager from playstore and install Clockwork Mod recovery, then reboot to the recovery via rom manager app and choose install zip from sdcard, fin your custom kernel/rom or whatever you want to flash and then tap yes and reboot, but first copy your custom kernel/rom on sdcard.
It is very easy, you even have tutorials on youtube on how to flash something via CWM recovery.
I'm looking for help selecting a ROM that is stable. I've flashed about a half dozen ROMS over the past few months and seem to have to switch because of bugs. Maybe it's because I get whatever is the newest. But I only have three requirements:
STABLE
NFC/Isis/Softcard compatible (even via mod)
Like S5 apps/styling
I really like being able to so *#0011# to see if I'm in AWS mode, but isn't required. I can't seem to do it with AOSP ROMS
Thank you

Chaos ROM has an S5 theme...
Most stable ROM I've seen is Eclipse though.
If you want stability and s5 features with NFC, go for hyperdrive, its also customizable. If you want a aosp ROM, do eclipse. Those are prob the best Roms for the s4
