Hello all....
First off...i appoligize if im posting in the wrong spot...kinda a newbie to this whole android world. I recently installed the cyogen mod 10,1 mod for my Telus Samsung 989d. I managed to get my it working right and my phones incredibly fast. The only issue is that my reception is horrible now. I'm not sure how to fix those so I thought I'd pay for ROM manager and get new ROMs directly from my phone but I can't find any stable ROMs. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong or can explain how to fix it..please let me know.
Thanks!
not easy to get a Rom
Well as i understand your problem is that the ROM is reducing your signal.
I think you should either search for a good rated ROM and till you find that i think you should restore your Stock Rom
I know that stock isn't that cool but still you will get a good signal
Hit thanks if i helped
Yeah, you need either to change the ROM or restore the stock ROM if you feel that this ROM makes your signal reception worse.

It just sucks that every ROM I try doesn't work. Is there any websites which allow you to search for ROM by model and carrier ?

I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

1. there's no exact answer to which rom or kernel gives the best batt life. u should actually test them to see which fits your preference. there are also threads here which does benchmarkings and testing out batt life. try searching for them.
2. when u install a custom rom, it will say on their thread on what baseband version they based their rom. for example, LeoMar's ROM is based on KH3, etc. the rom chooses it for you basically.
3. the latest is 2.3.4, and almost all custom ROMs are based on 2.3.4. no need to flash anything extra
Ok so do I actually have to find a XXKG2 or MUGKG2 based ROM or I can take anything? And from personal experience which one do you think is the best one?
you can actually take in anything (at least your phone's getting an updated baseband version thru the custom roms).
i'm not quite sure how the different versions of the baseband affects my phone. i don't notice any difference in performance actually.
Aight!!! Thanks man. Which one do you recommend?
you can try using the dlev2 rom version 1.2 , its indeed great and also has good battery life

cognition or litening rom can be good choices to start with.
leomar rom gives a lot of customization options because it has a kitchen app on the android market.
My recommendation is that you read some more, get comfortable before you flash anything on your device, know what you are about to get into instead of going on someone else's opinion, the questions you ask are of someone who doesn't fully understand what they are about to do.
It helps when you read a lot, you are able to think your own way through if something doesn't go exactly as planed, else you would have to come right back here to ask a million questions
you can find official firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
as a few posts above i agree what that person said..do a bit more reading before you start flashing. i can remember the time when i wanted to start flashing and rooting and when i did not back up the stock rom the first time i panicked and i did not know what to do and how to get back the stock rom...funny now but back then not so funny..
anyway research play with your stock rom for a while and then flash...for custom rom i would suggest a few...Im using BatistaRom 3.7.7 its the smoothest fastest and battery efficient rom i have used so far...even when i go and try other roms i always come back to this one. For battery as well VillainRom 2.4.2 is one heck of a custom rom and the battery life on that bad boy is wicked..
With regarding kernels again it varies...read the threads of the rom you are interested in flashing and see what people suggest on them..
good luck and be careful when rooting and flashing. any help you need throw me a PM..
Yeah, there are like tons of ROMs and customizations for SGS2 and all major developers are cooking something or the other for our GS2...
Selection of ROM depends only on taste. Some people wants battery life, some people wants only speed and performance. So ask yourself, what kinda ROM you need. One built from scratch, one modded from stock, AOSP?
I use GingerMod Vanilla 0.4. Suits my taste
Guys
Can someone point me out to a stable and fully functional MIUI rom for galaxy s2 ? . I could not find any info regarding the rom on MIUIs website as well
I use Galnet Miui (galnetmiui.co.uk) 2.11.26 and have had minimal problems.
Now...
Just because it works well for me does not mean you will have the same experience with this rom. Your phone will have been built ever so slightly differently to mine so far as the "quality" of the components go, you will have different apps installed on your phone and you will have different usage patterns to me.
So what I'm saying is by all means try it out, but also try out other roms & see how they work for you.
I find it impossible to believe you went to Miui.com, clicked on the english site & couldn't find the downloads. That tells me you didn't try hard enough, so I suggest you go back there and have a proper look. Also, you can have a look at Miui US, their rom is a different take on Miui again.
If you're not the sort of person who's prepared to do a bit of searching and experimenting with your phone, and you want a rom that's always stable , I suggest you leave your phone on stock firmware & just enjoy a fantastic phone (the phone is brilliant just running stock).
Thanks mate for the detailed reply . I did find the download section ! , however i did not find any help on its forums regarding the quality of the ROM ( what is working and whats not ) . And i still cannot find it
And i can search and experiment . Running CheckRom V4 for a while now and its pretty nice !
"Quality" is a subjective thing. It gets back to what I was saying about different people having different experiences with different roms.
So far as what works & what doesn't, there should be a changelog with every version of the rom, I know there is for Galnet's roms and I'd be very surprised if there's not for Miui's roms (which means I'm not going to do the searching for you).
I installed the miui.us rom . Apparently everything is working . Just the video in 720 or 1080 is not working !
is that working in the Galnet`s rom ? you can atleast tell me that

Miui.us? May i know which version you installed?
Rom : MIUI ICS XGT 'EXTENDED'
Kernel : Xcell-69X
Modem : XXKP8
Sent from Galaxy SII
It was 1.12.30
But i am back to CheckRom . Was having a few problems with the Rom
* SMS app was giving constant FC ( even after trying the fix )
* Camera app was closing randomly without any errors etc
* Phone was running too Hot
* Quadrant score went down from 3600 to 2800 ( not bothered that much with that )
Just for you (because I've come to like you somewhat during the time this thread has been in existence), I tested 1080HD video just now and it works quite fine.

Do you mean that all roms here are not always stable?
Yep that's exactly what I mean. It's pretty rare to run a custom rom and not have any issues (mostly minor issues tho, mind you) at all. So many different apps, some of which work perfectly with some roms/kernels yet are nothing but trouble with others.
Stock has had the absolute living crap tested out of it by Samsung and if you want (almost) absolute stability with almost no problems whatsoever, then stock is what you want to run on your phone. On the other hand, if you're spending time on a site like this chances are stock just isn't your thing and you're more than prepared to put up with little issues that come up occasionally running a custom rom/kernel.
I know I am. I can't see any reason why I'd ever go back to stock, I can't think of a "gamechanger" or feature Samsung could put in a stock rom that couldn't be made to work in a custom rom by the *really* talented devs who post here that would make me go back to stock.

Hi.
I want to install a custom rom... lets say Cyanogen mod. This rom is european (i think) so i supposed the modem or whatever it is, It's different from one of South America. So when flashing would it ruin 3g and calls or something?
No your baseband will be just the same i believe you will not have any problem but lets say you want cyanogen mod before flashing go to dev post and ask him if that C.rom will change the baseband or if is there anyother problem!
At most you will have to input APN settings yourself
Actually i was thinkin in installing Stock Lite v6 on my galaxy ace. So i just backup my apn settings and just flash.. I'll try i. Thanks
I have v5 on my own and im really satysfied! and since the dev from that rom will release a v7 soon i will not flash v6
I'll wait a bit longuer
Good flashing!
Any question's or problem's just PM me
I wont release v7 soon. I always make sure that any update I release isnt a minor update. 3 major updates already. I want the 4th one to be major too. So, I will release v7 after I make some really awesome changes \m/

I installed it before reading the answers lol. Everything went ok. I did for the battery. Haven't seen much difference yet i guess it takes some charges and discharges after calibrating. But in general it's faster than stock rom.
Hi guys,
my fathers's atrix is near to the grave. i mean it became so lagy, with touchscreen bug, many fc, ect...
I just want to now if someone can advise me a good dayly rom for it. a 4+ would be great but stability for a normal user is my priority. no lap top for him. only data, wifi, gps and camera is requiered.
thank's to answer to me.
ps: root,unlock with cwm 5.0.2.0

Upgrade your CWM to 5.0.2.7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
ICS-JB available with 3.1.10 kernel gives stability, but has the usual bugs that have been reported and seen (see individual threads for more specific ROM related issues/bugs)
KK available via bigpart ROM (pay attention to install directions and update CWM to 6.0.3.8 first)
At the end of the day, its up to you what version of android you wish to flash
Hello,
Its very difficult for you to get any answers to this question. The beauty of android is that it can customised in multiple different ways to give the user a different experience.
The only way you will find which ROM is best for you is to try them and see...
Hence

Hello everyone..Im new to OPX and yes i've searched this before.But the reason im posting this is i couldn't flash every ROM for testing..Problem is low call volume/distortion and i know that there is a fix zip.I doesn't work. Only solution is go back to OOS 2.2.1 which was i did. But i hate OOS.So guys i would really appreciate if you guys can post you current CM ROMs which aren't affected by low call volume/distortion..Thank you.. (my phone model is E1003)
