GB or ICS or JB stock rom only - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am running xxlsj for a few days and its good with Nelp4 modem.
I was wondering for an optimal performance os for galaxy s2. Will it be ginger bread or ics or jb?
I know there are custom roms kernels etc available but I am only interested in stock roms so please keep it to the subject.
Any thoughts?

for battery life: Gingerbread
for performance: Jelly Bean (although there's only AOSP builds afaik)
I'd go with a ICS stock-based ROM like WanamLite

If you want only stock roms, go with ICS. It's more recent and have many options that GB don't have.
Notice that really official Samsung stock, there isn't any JB versions yet, but Samsung claims that will release it until the end of this year.
There is a Samsung JellyBean leaked that you can use, but it's not an original stock release, keep that in mind.

Search for xxlsj on google and you will find your below statement incorrect in regards to jellybeans for gs2. I am already using jelly beans leaked "official" version.
Thanks for your input though.

Leaked versions are not releases.

My response was for dewalla's original post which he has edited since.
delawalla has just replied :***************If you want only stock roms, go with ICS.

Developers created a version of Samsung JellyBean that you can use as stock, but it's not original stock, keep that in mind.
How about if we leave the cynicism on English language itself and focus on real question?
No one mentioned release so where are you coming from?

This is just another glorified "whats the best rom thread".
If your happy with your current setup,then use that.....and if not, try out other roms.

I take that to mean him saying: "but it's not an original stock release"; and you saying: "Search for xxlsj on google and you will find your below statement incorrect in regards to jellybeans for gs2. I am already using jelly beans leaked "official" version."
He specifically has the word "release" in his post. So he mentioned it. You seem to dispute the existence of a "release" by saying his statement is incorrect, and you are using the leak as evidence of this.
There is no cynicism here. I interpreted what you said in the context of the response to his post. If that's not what you meant, then clarify.

Yes, I edited my post because it was wrong, so I corrected and complemented it.
*But I did it within seconds from the original post, and not to be right or anything; just to give real and correct information.

Leaked ICS rom from samsung?

I just came across this article claiming that there's a leaked release of ICS for the S2. I'm not sure if this will work on our S2s and I haven't tried flashing yet.
From the Article:
This rom still a CUSTOM build by Samsung and still with TW.
Samsung created this firmware on December 8 2011.
As you all may know we only offer stock ROMs so you will not find this firmware on our usual firmware page.
This rom is a bit faster but still with a lot of bugs.

Yup, came out about a week ago. Has some of the cool ICS features, but 1. It's for the int. GS2, so some of the buttons... dont work for us and 2. It is a very early alpha build, and not close to a 'daily driver'. But it is good to know that samsung is getting closer to releasing ICS for us, and its helping the CM9 team to fix their problems

Newest is always assumed to be the best; however, the reliability and functionality of the modems vary by your location. What may work exceptionally well for me could produce lackluster results for you. Your best bet is to try them out for yourself. Flashing them is easy enough.
Good luck.
Thank you for your help!
I was also attracted to the leaked packages, until I realized:
Leaks have even less quality and effort put in, compared to the horrible firmware actually released. They're just early.
The leaks may be some android version, but they've been mangled by Samsung AND AT&T. Vanilla is now my only flavor...
(maybe the leaked nature of the leaks is appealing in itself? Makes you feel like you're getting one up on "the system"? BYPASS the system with CM9!)
All 3 of the leaks work well for me. UCLD3 is GREAT and I will run it until another leak (or an official release) comes along.
With that said...no ROM is perfect.
You will have the most choices and dev support using ported firmwares that are originally developed and others ported work.

[Q] Jelly Bean Update?

Hi,
Yesterday manually updated my Galaxy S3 which was on stock ICS (Never been rooted) to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 using odin (Got the firmware from Sammobile), but the camera and the gallery app seem to be the same as in ICS.
But when i go onto the official jelly bean website it says they have updated the camera app and the gallery app. Anybody know about this and how to fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think they meant in terms of performance rather than appearance, the Note 2 is the only device I know of that's got a decent gallery app lol

I checked there website again, and its says:
"Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, made snapping photos super fast; Jelly Bean brings that same speed to the next step: viewing. Just swipe over from camera to filmstrip view to instantly view the photos you just took, and quickly swipe away the ones you don’t like. Now sharing — and bragging — are a breeze."
But on mine you can swipe or nothing its the same old app from ICS.
What's the website?? because I'm sure that's not a feature of our device

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
My man, you are looking at the features of AOSP based ROM and comparing against Stock apps..that feature is present in any AOSP based ROM CM10 for eg. Samsung has made its own Camera app which is present in the Stock ROM...the implementation is different..so if you want the vanilla Android features try AOSP based ROMs and not compare it with Stock ROM..

Oh i see, thank you for clearing that up for me. But as i would like to stick with non-custom roms i guess i will not be able to get the gesture features in my camera & gallery app.
Is there an official ASOP Jelly Bean rom for Galaxy S3 or are they only for Google devices such as Google Nexus?

I'm sorry if I have spoiled your uptight high looking tupe thread with a simple question about an update that samsung mentioned was to roll out late september and others have already had, so I deemed logical to ask such a question in a forum that people much more up to date could potentially be inclined to answer.
I can put it in plain english for you in case you didn't get that.
Sorry for the inappropriate question. Ill stay clear of your lobby.

Not yet. The only ones I've heard of are for the International version of the Note. Samsung has just announced that JB/TW will be coming for the Note in Q2 of 2013. Stay tuned.
There are plenty of jb based custom roms here, just browse through the development section. Go ahead and get your jelly bean on.

[Q] When will SAMSUNG release JB 4.2.2 for I9300 ?

Maybe on April ?
Who knows?
Once if the galaxy s4 is out globally, Samsung keeps an eye on s3. But still, it takes a month or two.

You mean G4&Xperia Z P V3.0? Yeah, it's really cool, I have used it for more than 10 hours...
Indeed, if you're looking to be on the cutting edge in terms of Android Version, you should definitely go for custom ROMs.
Some Stock-base ROMs (like Revo HD or Omega) are already running latest 4.2.1 leaked firmware from Sammy.
AOSP Roms are practically all on 4.2.2 by now, and some of them are extremely stable and fast (running Temasek v83... just out of this world)
If you're all about official OTA upgrades, then I wouldn't be too sure about April, they usually announce firmware upgrades a good month before release. That's what happened for ICS on S2, which is approx. equivalent to 4.2.2 on S3 in terms of product lifecycle.

I think so too
I think that Samsung will release 4.2.2 for Galaxy S3 only when Galaxy S4 will sell a lot. For now,I think that first we get 4.2.1.
why release 4.2.2 when they can release 5.0?
I think that Glebun just burned my head... lol. But I must say that I am totally agree with him.
uhm, what?
i think in a couple of months "if" we get it at all
