[Q] Rom with good battery life - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, im a new galaxy s 2 user, but i've allready tried a lot of roms from xda. As for me, a dont care about what android version it is based on( exept gb obviously) i need a stable and a good battery rom to use it daily, just for web surfing, and music while driving. Unfortunately, i really dislike stock samsung interface, so best choice for me is aokp/cm based rom. Now im using hydra h20 rom, it seems to be stable and battery friendly, but maybe i've missed some other good roms to try, so, my question is, what rom will you recommend me( or other users with same aims) to try?
Sorry for my english, its not my language

[Q] The most suitable ROM for X GO

Hi.
I'm kind of lost in all of the different ROM's around here. Could you advise me which one to use?
I'd like to have stable ROM for everyday use with gapps and good battery life/managment.
I don't need the latest editions, just basic functions without bloatware.
(I would keep using rooted stock ROM but it started to act up...)
cm9 or cm 10

For me the best ROM is Blekota, its quite good and after this next release is gonna really stable
in my opinion the best rom is cyanogenmod 11
Cynaogen mod by markox89 and archi droid 2.5.3 very,very fast and stabel,both of roms...you wont wrong with eider od these two roms...
I recommend you to try try and try, we all are going same roms, I was told that the Parandroid went well with the drums and boeffla, I prefer those based on stock, last longer, but the custom I like

wich ROM?

hello,
i searching for a stable Rom for a friend for the galaxy ace.... he is a absoute noob and his phone is very slow.... wich Rom should i use?
thanks for the answers!
@made-in-tirol, Ace GT-S5830i/C/M/39i known as Cooperve device, comes with the official version 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) which, can be rooted and be optimized into perfection without any serious custom mod installation for person who has no need of tinkering with his/her device constantly. ( flashing some custom kernel is needed to maintain full performance and battery optimization, if you have problems).
FYI there is no Rom, which labeled as "most stable". However from my experience I encountered fewer bugs; regular flow of updates when I used Touchwiz Resurrected V2. On the contrary though some people prefer CM7 ROMs over any other non cyanogen mod any day

[Q] What ROM is the most STABLE and FAST and BEST BATTERY LIFE for the S2 i9100 ?

Before everyone tells me that this has been covered in previous threads, i read them all and there is nothing worth writing home about within these 'other threads'.
There is not a decent place online where an S2 user can go to find out the BEST choice for his phone. (most people just say: "kk1 worked for me" etc... (which doesnt really tell us much!)
Surely there are tonnes of people with Galaxy S2 i9100 phones with Custom Roms, kernals and Gapps!
from my experience: the S2 phone not good enough to run Lolipop at a fast speed... (its SLOW as hell, and Bad Battery Life).
Kit Kat is also a bit laggy on the S2... (or has someone found a good MOD and kernal of it ?
really, it seems that the S2 performs BEST with Ice-Cream-Sandwich or Jelly-Bean.
or has anyone found a REALLY good KitKat Rom for the S2 which has a Good Battery Life and FAST SPEED ??
also,, please mention what kernal and Gapps package you have and what Launcher you are using
Use Slimsaber 4.4.4 by fusionjack (modified by thunder45) and dorimanx kernel.

In terms of battery life, Slimsaber 4.4.4 is the only rom that could compete with stock 4.1.2 battery life (stock 4.1.2 is still superior to all other ROMs). All 4.4.4 ROMs use more battery than stock 4.1.2, but the upside is that you get less bloatware and more performance. Cyanogenmod may be the most well known for its popularity in the android world, but it is also known for battery problems and other problems too. In terms of performance, Slimsaber 4.4.4 is a lightweight ROM that has more useful features compared to Cyangenmod. Of course user preference differs between everyone, but I've found that slimsaber has all of the neat features I've needed in one package. Where you get most benefits from is by pairing up the ROM with a custom kernel such as DorimanX kernel. The built-in kernel will do the job for most people, but what most people miss out on is all of the performance and battery optimizations and tweaks you get from installing a custom kernel. Yes, there are more things to tweaks when using a custom kernel, but after you get used to it and have played around with it a bit, the effort and time spent is really well worth it and I assure you your phone will feel better than you first got it.
Of course, this is all of my personal thoughts, and I'm a long term user of slimsaber 4.4.4 and dorimanx kernel. Just incase you didn't know, I don't hate cyanogenmod, they are pretty much the pioneers of the custom rom industry, but lately they haven't been up to scratch.

thanks for your info about the slimsaber rom.
I wanted to ask you something about your comment:
is slimsaber the same as slimkat? its the same thing?
and,, also: if I flash the dorimanx kernel and then flash the slimsaber 444 rom, will the slimsaber rom add its own slimsaber kernel and delete the dorimanx kernal ?
- or, is it the other way around? am I supposed to flash the slimsaber rom, and then flash the dorimanx kernal to replace the slimsaber kernel ?
PS:
I will be downgrading from a Lollipop 5.1 Rom.
its too slow on my phone and i'm getting awful batterylife and quite buggy.
i was umming and ahhing whether to downgrade to an unbloated jellybean ROM, or a kitkat one.
maybe I will give your set-up a try (seeing you are giving it a good testimonial).
did you use a minimal Gapps package? or the full thing?

Slimsaber and slimkat are different roms. Slimsaber is a modified version of slimkat by fusionjack.
Yes, when you flash slimsaber, it will replace dorimanx kernel with slimsaber kernel. This means you will have to flash dorimanx kernel again.
It's up to you. I make my own personal dorimanx builds, but I don't optimize them for battery life, I care more about performance and smoothness.

i did a few searches on xda for slimsaber 4.4.4 and saw a number of instances where people are having WhatsApp camera issues and also Skype issues.
do you also get this problem?
or is that now fixed? (coz I use both of those apps quite often).
is this the correct page I should use to download the ROM :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59918959&postcount=17347
(but I see no mention of Thunder45's modification on that page).
if the above issues are still present, do you think i will be better off with the SlimKat version? or something else?
Thanks
Marc

You're better off with slimkat if you use those applications. Skype and whatsapp issues are still present in slimsaber.

thanks again GsStudios
would it be a good idea for me to use your suggested Dorimanx Kernal with SlimKat 4.4 ?
and finally: if you have ever used it, how would you rate the CM11 (standard version), with SlimKat ?
(i'm trying to narrow my choice down).
again, thanks

Which ROM in the long term ?

Hi all,
My sister will be using my i9100 for one year in an foreign country. I want to choose the best ROM for her : stable, god battery life and bug free since she can't flash another ROM abroad.
I have seen some lollipop ROM but maybe Kitkat ROMs are more optimized ?
Have you got an idea ?
Thanks in advance !
I'm using official CM 12.1 and haven't found any major bug yet, even if it's nightly. If you want to avoid any kind of problem, I think this ROM will be the best (if we can trust the "stable" status):

For 100% stable, i recommended you to using Neatrom v6.5 which is on JB. is pretty good and stable.
