that is the correct answer.

really, what you're paying for on screens this small with super duper ridiculously high resolutions is clarity (ie lack of pixelation)... of course, the human eye cannot distinguish the difference between anything above a 300ppi (iPhone4 territory) screen. personally, I can't see the difference between the Retina display, with its 330ppi, and my MT4GS WVGA display, with its 250ppi unless I am literally holding the phones right up to my face (I have an iP4 btw, so I have actually done this).

so a phone, like what the manufacturers have in the pipeline, with a 4.5" (or whatever) screen and an HD (ie >= 1280x720) resolution? pointless. it's all marketing. you're not going to see webpages any clearer or larger than on your current device (if it's already 'high resolution' by today's standards), you're not going to fit more icons on your homescreen, it's all a marketing ploy to trick the mostly-ignorant masses into thinking they've bought a superior product.

okay, that's a bit harsh... I guess technically it is superior in the sense that the screen has a higher ppi, which means the pixels are physically smaller, which requires more advanced manufacturing techniques... but it has absolutely no application in actual usage of the phone aside from being able to make fun of your nerd friends for having a less pixel-packed screen. if that's what gets you a nut, by all means, go for it.

personally, I'm for a more sensible approach and I'd rather have more important features on my next devices in place of aesthetic gimmicks that don't at all improve my experience in any way, shape or form.

[General Questions and Answers] LukeMarley:
Before someone tells me that there are other threads about the same problem i feel mine is a bit different.

Basically i'm new to the whole rooting thing,

I have a HTC Desire (GSM).

I installed then uninstalled HTC Sync.

I used Unrevoked, it all worked fine.

I did the android usb driver thing, it worked fine.

I did something and ended up with clockworkmod and the hboot thing, nothing going wrong so far,

I noticed the super user permission thing in my apps,

A friend told me to download some terminal app and rom manager, so i did.

I then downloaded Gparted and did everything i was meant to (partitioning, fat32, ext3 and all that)

I then tried to s off the device using alpharev 1.8 and it finished.

Now my phone doesn't even load up properly, i CAN get into hboot and recovery but that's it, when i try to start phone properly, the black screen comes up with the clown, and for some reason there is nothing at all on the sd card. I also did the nandroid back up thing wrong and dont have a backup =.=

Can someone help me? I just want to get a custom rom on my phone and run it without problems. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusuo:
I get my S II tomorrow and I've been looking around alot to see what the best rom out is, but there's loads of roms available.

What I'm asking is instead of spending multiple hours going through every rom to find out whats good, whats peoples favorites or what would you recommend,

Stuff I need working -

Camera

Onboard Storage

GPS

(These are musts)

I would preferably like things like overclocking stuff that utilizes the dual core 1.2ghz processor.

Any ideas and thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
With multiple exact same posts as yours .

One their is no bests rom .

Two read the individual rom threads and make up your own mind.

Three if unable to make up your mind stick with stock .

Four posts belongs Q&A

Stuff I need working -

Camera

Onboard Storage

GPS

You should find they come with the phone not the rom .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusuo:
Firstly sorry for not noticing the many other posts dedicated to this subject.

Secondary, camera etc may come with the phone but it doesn't specifically come with the rom, I have a Xperia Arc at the moment and the freexperia project doesnt have the camera up and running, so I feel like that was a valid question.

All I was asking is what people are using? What you prefer?

Not an index to what you hate and love about every rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
Coming from HTC Desire, I would of asked exactly the same questions. When new ROMS came out on HTC Desire, or the X10, not everything was working right from the start. Even on the ROMS on this phone it seems not everything is working, so surely the question is valid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
most are just themed roms and don't offer much over a rooted and tweaked stock rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prozact:
The most famous roms have all the features your looking for i believe, Better Camera, overclock 1.6 Ghz, Better GPS etc.

But you can't say which one is best cause they all are different in their own way, specially in themes and so on.

@JJEgan, you were right in the other thread... this is getting ridiculous :P

@OP: there's really not much difference between them. The different ones are probably CM7, MIUI and Oxygen (they're not stable), the rest just have some modifications, and they mostly are stable with everything working. Just see which one has more views and pick one you think you like. Creating a thread like this has absolutely no point, you will get zero information out of it... even if people start answering you, you'll just get a random sample of what some people are using.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjcks:
Stock :)

Just root it and add a kernel like niphetamine - get juicedefender too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troffers:
Villain Rom 2.4.2 best for me. It's based on stock firmware so gps, camera etc is working fine. Browser is laggy though so use Dolphin HD or another one from the market.

You get Villain tweaks too!

Flash the Ninphetamine kernel as its overclocked to 1.6ghz.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjcks:
True, villain rom is nice - but some of us prefer the stock browser too much. :/

If it wasnt for that, id probably use villain too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
I agree with some of the others in this thread, just stock is best. Samsung polished the firmware really well and its amazing. Id say just flash a custom kernel if you want to do extra stuff like oc/uv or something. Really the only time i ever switch from stock is to try CM7 then or something. Other than that imo stock is best.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
GS2 is the first phone where stock meet all my needs. Ive played with a couple of different roms and usually something happens after the first week.

Most roms in dev section give you a all in one package. So must of the tweaks that you would normally install manually are already preinstalled. This is the fun part about android with so many choices, try a couple out first and see what fits your needs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LonelyJourney:
This is a valid question, the more popular the phone the more hours of searching it takes. CM7 is buggy as hell. Stay away. Stick with stock and just flash a kernel. Samsung did a good job actually with this phone, especially with the skinning in my opinion. It amazes me people buy a super specd phone like this the install ROMS that strip the phone of it's power. CM7 is taking way too long honestly and it's absurd how buggy it is at this point in the phones release history.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amritttt:
Revolution 2.6 is the best,it has a kitchen which makes life easier.

Just a little rectification for OP and others: CM7 is an unstable nightly build officially, but it's usable. I have it for a week now, and I haven't had any serious problems. It's stable and I can use it just like the stock ROM, with very few limitations. I'm not going back to other roms for now :D

Strangely, *immediately* after flashing the new recovery, I have begun to experience the Nexus S Google Voice Search bug. In the two months I've had the phone, this never happened - not even once.

This was with a two week old CM nightly, and a Matrix kernel.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] coolpages:
I'm using Rom Manager 4.8.0.6 (and now 4.8.0.7) and have been unable to get into recovery mode after flashing CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0 whether I flash it once or twice once I reboot.

I have also the same problem whether I use 3.0.0.5, 3.0.2.4 or 5.0.1.0.

The problem persist whether I flash via Rom Manager or using Fastboot flash recovery via command prompt.

As a result I cannot backup with ClockworkMod.

Partial Solution- Workable, though slightly inelegant:

But I noticed that if after starting Rom Manager 4.8.0.6, I Flash ClockwordMod Recovery (even if I'm already on 5.0.2.0) and after it says it successfully flashed the recovery (sometimes I have to flash it twice in succession) and then Reboot into Recovery or do a Rom Backup it works.

I have not tired to do a restore backup with the above partial solution.

I hope this helps someone out.

However, if I shutdown and then go into fastboot and from the Fastboot screen, I try to enter into Recovery I will end up unable to get into ClockworkMod Recovery. Instead the Android with exclamation mark appears.

Likewise if I restart my Nexus S and then start Rom Manager 4.8.0.6 (now 4.8.0.7) (without Reflashing ClockworkMod Recovery again with 5.0.2.0) and via Rom Manager, reboot into recovery, I will end up unable to get into ClockworkMod Recovery. Instead the Android with exclamation mark appears.

Why doesn't Koush fix this ? Maybe he's too busy.

I have not tried using 3.0.0.0 or even 2.5.1.4.

If I do, I will update this post.
