[Q] Fastest rom for Galaxy s2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey.
I am looking for a fast rom for my samsung galaxy s II i9100. I want it to be fast but it's also important that it's stable. I've tried out a couple of custom roms but no one was what I was looking for. Cyanogenmod was very clean and also fast, but the battery was just sucked out of the phone...
So... what whould you prefer??
Thanks in advance!

Try the ROMs for yourself and find out, no one is going to give you any advice since you decide what ROM is best for you

A red one (because red is the fastest colour)

for stability sammy roms, aosp (cm, etc...) is fast but not 100% stable (open source drivers). just choose

My Advice: Dorimanx Kernel 9.39 + SlimBean Build 8
It's an AOSP ROM, battery life with shipped kernel is okay, not extraordinary but not as devastating as XENON HD.
And very stable and fast, probably because it really deserves its name: Its just 81MB
Try it!

Guys, why are 'What is the best/fastest/greatest rom?' questions suddenly allowed? It's subjective, no one can tell you.
So stop asking and please stop answering with subjective suggestions.

thanks for the recommend....but miui is not my type....
I am also using Foxhound, I think some of the screenshots he has up are from a recently posted version as my previous version looked that way. Raff might be able to provide you another systemiu that could fix this. Or if you wanted, flash a previous version of Foxhound. Octacon v1 had the recently used apps looking the same way as you want to and is a stable ROM. Its available for download still on his download link. I think it was only changed in the most recent ROM.

You've been given a lot of suggestions which you could've looked up by yourself, so it seems to me that it isn't that hard to just have a look in the threads yourself.
If you read the title of the Neatrom thread, I think you might have your answer...

[Q] Opinions On Which ROM To Use

Hi There,
First of all I am a currently proud owner a htc one x and have flashed every android phone i've had. A friend of mine has a galaxy s2 and wants me to flash it for him, i need everyones opinion on which rom has the best:
1. battery life
2. performance
3. stability
I obviously can't try all the roms so i'm relying on your opinions as to which would be the most stable
thanks in advance
Cody.
PLEASE! Read the damn rules before posting stuff like this! It's the first thread, so why ignore it??

There is no best rom or kernel, because it is totally subjective. Try them out yourself.
I will report this now.

Still totally subjective. Some people like stock and their features, other people prefer AOSP and there features, etc. Try a few of them after reading at least 10 pages of the threads to get a global idea about peoples opinion of the rom, and then make your decision.

The most popular ROM right now is Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Which Region? That's the whole point, try them out & see for yourself.

I am not sure which one it is espacially because it is so old.
the only unofficial cm11 I know is temasek rom but the settings screen is not completely the same as yours.
but it also has halo and many more features
there are also other cm11 in android development section which have halo, so maybe you could try them out too

[Q] what does a kernel do?

so i heard flashing a kernel on stock rom can increase battery life.
well my i9300 is currently running Samsung's 4.3 and i was wondering if their was a kernel i can flash over this using twrp to get better battery life, more RAM or performance. i an new here but i really want to understand.
i wud prefer if i could get more RAM as touchwiz takes up so much RAM and the 1gig i hav tends to full up quickly....

If u rly just wan speed and performance. Go for stock android. Features, go for sammy roms. For ur case, i recommend u to flash a custom rom.

Kernel is the powerhouse of your phone.. You cab improve speed and sound quality with battery saving..Just go to particular thread.. see that it supports your phone and android version.. Download zip for
your particular version.. Copy it to your SD card and flash through recovery that's it...

And thread closed as there is no "best" kernel, only what works best for you. What you find the best kernel might not be the best for another due to differences in how you use the device
