Haha thats odd. I had it working perfectly with Litening ROM! All my contact pictures had the right one. It seems like whatsapp is only displaying Google contact pictures now. May be a bug from their side or something
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marc.knuckle:
i am having trouble with the stock but rooted 2.3.3 i am on.

due to force close issues with the market i am getting curious as to which rom is the best mainly in ragards to stability but also being fairly up to date and with the best features.

any recommendations guys?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antiochasylum:

Apparently you do not know how to read. I'm not sure why you weren't educated as a child.

Alright smartass, read the rules. But since it looks like you can't read, watch the video in the first reply.

First, This is the wrong section, it's a question which goes to Q&A.

Secondly, SEARCH! You're not the first re**** who posted this, there are actually other people like you out there!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kh0rdan:
Well... Let me ask one question... What answers did you expect :confused:

A list of 84 ROMs you could possibly flash onto your SGS2?

You ask 30 different people the question which ROM they like best, you get at least 20 different answers. :o

So, just read through all the [ROM] posts in this forum and find the one that is best for you. Everybody likes different aspects of a ROM.

If you have a question to a specific one, well... It's the same thing again. Search the respective thread and if you don't find anything useful, post it (But NOT as a whole new thread, please...) ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marc.knuckle:
cheers Barratas, good answer

@bruflut is it? F u
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antiochasylum:
Bwhahah.

I don't give a **** of he has 500 posts. Reading is reading and common sense, which he lacks, should be used.

Ask yourself, does my question help development of the SGSII. No.

So one with a little common sense would not have posted. But since you lack that ability, you get belittled.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kh0rdan:
There's just one thing striking me again... IF we had a periodically updated list of all maintained Custom ROMs, the development forum would be a LOT easier to overlook!

It's kinda hard for someone who starts reading the development forum NOW after months of posts! :o

Maybe if we could find a mod that is kind enough to make a sticky Custom ROM list... That would prevent newer users from starting threads like this one and our more experienced users from ripping their hair out because they feel horrible about those threads... :D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] fOmey:
Bahaha this thread is gold.. love all the internet heros.

Im fairly new to the android scene.. coming from iOS I was psykt to go nuts on all the different custom roms..

You mentioned stability which is lacking in many of the roms, especially the ones that have been stripped for "speed" how much faster can the phone get and who really cares ? ehhh each to there own.

MIUI & CM7 sure there pretty but the lack of features that the SGS2 comes straight out of the box with I find is barely worth the trade off..

Personally I prefer to stick on Samsung roms.. as there stable and feature jam packed..

Anything you dont use.. Titanium backup & freeze/uninstall.

I must of gone through 50% of the roms on here, I personally think HyperDroid is the best.. you have options of different themes on there.. sus it out..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
In my opinion I'd say either Cognition or Checkrom. Definetely use Siyah 2.1.1 kernel, crazy good battery. But next time please search, there have been thousands of useless threads like this already :P

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ronni.rasmussen:
Why isn't this closed yet? Serious, WHY?

marc.knuckle, Reading the rules would prevent attacks like these, and searching a bit wouldn't hurt either.

For the rest who's only here for the name calling, get a ****ing life. There is no need to get all *****y like teenage school girls. Try not to make XDA a worse place than it already is. Marc might be wrong by posting in this section, and not doing a bit of search him self, but you guys are even worse than him.

Yeah i know i did some name calling myself, but if something pisses me off more than posting in wrong sections, its the disrespecting commenters.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] eseregin:
Might be organize a vote with all Roms listed?

Exist many Roms here very old, yes, with millions viewed, but definetly out off date, without any futher support, and many new Roms, very interesting imho much less viewed yet.

So vote can help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ronni.rasmussen:
Vote would be useless cause of the fact that roms is abandoned, and new amazing roms is added all the time. A rating system on the other hand is useful, and we "kinda" already have that.

At some point, everyone was an xda nubcake.

Although I'm surprised this thread hasn't been closed, cut him some slack and give him advice AND advise him to post in the correct section.

I'd say give MIUI a go. Its quick, smooth and the theming system is fantastic. Its usually my #1 choice, but I'm currently on Cognition 777 r2 :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylez:
This will depend on "user" functions wanted.... & how "they" have set up ROM......

Hence the only way to find is via flashing bedding testing....

As you will notice users can have same setup but very different outcomes..

Using CWM backup you can always revert to stable setup.

And defo not development of any sort.........

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kmandel:
It's been a tough haul for me with Tmobile/Samsung Galaxy phones. I started with a Vibrant with its GPS problems. After two T-mobile Vibrant swap outs and various software updates that accomplished little, they swapped for a SGS4G.

The SGS4G was no better on GPS and T-mobile wouldn't swap to anything else.

I never had a data contract, just used wifi for data. Last week I jumped on the $30 unlimited data prepaid plan. Well it turns out my SGS4G won't get cell data, not on Froyo not on Gingerbread.

So T-mobile now offers me a swap for another SGS4G or a LG-G2X or a HTC Sensation 4G. I'm posting here in case anyone with SGS4G experience also has some with the other phones.

It seems to me that its obvious I should switch. Both the LG and HTC are dual core and the Samsung is not. HTC has already committed to ICS on it, and LG has at least said the no ICS for G2X rumor has no basis. We all know Samsung is incredibly slow at updates, and their certainly is skepticism in this forum that they will ever have ICS for the SGS4G.

As to which to switch to, I'm not sure. The ICS commitment by HTC is certainly a plus. After my experience with Samsung my main issues are:

-- A well working GPS

-- Timely software updates

-- A potent hacking community

Any comments to help me decide?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
I'd say get the sensation, i would if i ever got the chance. This phone is a great phone, don't get me wrong, but i just like the sensation. Never had an lg so i have no clue what that phone brings. I got this phone not knowing about XDA and modding. Once i found out about those, i kinda regretted getting this phone, but now things are better since we have official gingerbread and a great community that's here to help. I'm getting off topic now, so to answer your question, I'd say the sensation. OR you can stick with this phone and see what the future brings. :D

Hope i helped.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Atruss12:
I definitely agree. Sensations commitment to ICS is good enough for me but the hardware facts just beat out the sgs 4g. I do like the sgs 4g screen and resolution tho. But other than that, get sensation. My mom (I'm only 17 so i haven't moved out :p ) has it and I've been able to play with it. Hands down just a better phone. And i regret getting the phone too. This is my first android and did me soooo much justice, but for Modding and rooting it just isn't exactly the best. Sensation all the way. Hope I helped
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
Yea the sensation should be your choice..I bought this phone without the intention of rooting it or anything,also I lost my last one so i needed a phone quick..if i knew the info i know now,i would of had another phone like maybe the mytouch 4g..So yea in short make the switch,easy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
Samsung has neglected this phone in terms of updates. The Sensation is great if you want ICS, if that's not the biggest deal to you I'd get the Samsung Galaxy SII, as Samsung phones are well built, but with any Samsung phone don't expect an update within any timely manner.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
I would get anything.g that could run CM. ;) wink.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
G2X since it initially has a better battery because of AOSP and it always will get any CM before Sensation.

I want a swap sooo bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Get a sensation and sell it and youll be able to buy the sgs4g or the g2x and have extra cash. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Atruss12:
Man if I could switch. .. then again just about anyone would say that ;p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] josepresas:
what are some excuses or reasons I could give Tmobile for a swap?? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wrecless:
+1 me too.

oh and get the sensation. Even though I think you already knew that before you posted this thread just to make all of us jelous
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
I owned a g2x and it was bad. Very very bad. It was also the first batch of them. I hear they fixed a lot of the issues. I own a sgs4g and a sensation. The sensation has more options Rom and kernel wise. Speed wise my sgs4g with all its mods is just as fast. The sgs4g seems to have faster data speeds. The screen on the sgs4g is better. If custom roms and mods are what your after get the sensation. Performance wise a properly set up sgs4g may have a slight edge do to data speed. The sensation is confirmed to be getting ics as well a.d they are working on a port as well. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Atruss12:

Need good excuses :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
G2x for a faster phone with a good screen and speakers.

Sensation for ROM's and Sense.

But you can't really go wrong with either one. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kmandel:
I'm kicking myself. After they offered me the Sensation or G2X, I waited a week to make a choice and get past Thanksgiving. When I called back their database had changed and would only offer another SGS4G.

Apparently the database changes from time to time based on factors I can only guess. They said that at the moment for a Vibrant they had multiple choices.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
That sucks. Big time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Mannnnn, that sucks. :( I would have jumped on the Sensation or G2x the second they asked me.

The SGS4G is good for what it is, but it's been highly gimped on the dev side and has no CM love. :(
