Darkside 2.7 is best rom for our phone on GB.

I have tried darkside ICS too but lots of bugs there so went back to GB.

Tried AOKP too but not good as daily driver.

Jag 5.0 is good too but i choose Darkside for best battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Optimizer:
I have flashed pretty much EVERY rom that has been put out by our great developers. I will say that the ICS roms seem to be less stable, and more problem prone because they are usually ports or have issues with hardware... As far as recommending a rom, I would recommend Juggernaut 5.0 (2.3.6) gingerbread. It is extremely fast, I get great battery life, and I do not have any problems. Along with Juggernaut, I flashed the Blaze radio, and crypted's GPS fix script, therefore I have 5 second or so GPS lock and my 4G is getting DL speeds of 15mb/s or so with uploads of 2mb/s.

Happy Flashing!

I roll with the dark side ics 4.0.4 beta 6 on my t989. Works lovely for myself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
I flashed tons of roms and ended up going back to rooted GB stock. Its 100% bug free and i used TB to freeze the bloatware which greatly improved battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] h1a8:
I flashed my share of roms. I flashed several slickmod roms, darkside digital roms, beastmod roms, malice, foxstar, stock, juggernaut, tuesday blu-ray, etc.

I would like darkside digital if it wasn't for the horrible echo when calling other S2 phones. I tried this rom several times over and the echo is still there. Juggs and foxstar give me echo problems too. But not every rom I tried gives echos. I flashed every rom I tried at least a good 4 times each. So I know.

I would like slickmod if the battery life was better (for the older ones) and if the theme was better (for the newer ones). I really don't like the new theme.

I would like tuesday if it had a more preferable theme to me (I don't like the dull gray theme but it's not too bad though). I would like more than 3 icons at the base also. But it's a very good rom.

I keep coming back to beastmod 5.0 though. It gave me the least problems (besides tuesday) and the best battery life (besides Darkside), while being fully featured (lots of features), and while the theme is livable (not the best but not bad either).

My vote is either beastmod 5.0 or tuesday rom (if you can dig the theme and the 3 icon base).

If I can create a hybrid. I would start with beastmod exteme 5.0 as a base, with stock theme (I like stock theme the best), the speed and smoothness of slickmod (it uses darkside kernel very well), the battery life of beastmod or darkside digital 2.5.1, and the stability of tuesday.

Did you try flashing the stock GB rom with the synergy kernel or streamline kernel?

If so then did you still get 100% bug free? What about any improvements?

Anyone can answer this question though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] razormight:
No offense but, I disagree. Stability is part of what makes a ROM a good candidate for use. What if a ROM with super excellent themes and mods running at the best speed possible and providing all features possible under the sun (well, as much as the device could possibly offer) and freezes or locks up randomly or every 2 mins?

Case in point, I was using a Blackberry previously -before ditching that thing completely- which had full data enabled, maps etc. (if you ever used BB, you'd know each of these services had to be provisioned) so, someone offered to sell me a hacked BB which had all these enabled. It worked great! I was ecstatic but the damn thing would freeze randomly all the time and at the worst time possible. I was driving with helps of google maps and had no clue about this place. Sure enough, for the past 9 hours it was fine but, that's when it decides to crap out. I pull over wait for 5 mins reboot (which is forever when you are really pissed) and restart maps again, search for address etc. only to crap out 5 mins later. See, there is no rhyme or reason for this to die but it does.

So, what did we learn? Stability IS a very important thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
No i have stock kernel. I miss having BLN with custom kernels. Sometimes when a ROM was buggy it was hard to tell if it was the Rom or kernel. Stability was worth trade off of not having BLN.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Troyis:
I was using Beastmod 4.2 for ages and just switched to Darkside UCLE2 ICS ROM along with the AOSP theme on top of it. So far, I am really liking it. The camera seems to have a few bugs, but it still takes pictures fine. Also, the Wifi calling has some issues, but I don't use that either. All that said, I haven't encountered a force close yet, which was a pretty frequent occurance when I was using Beastmod.

I'm not sure why this thread exists though. Everyone has different expectations and needs of what a good ROM should be, so it all comes down to opinion and preference based on what you need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] h1a8:
May you try with synergy v10 or streamline kernels and report back. I have a feeling that those kernels are bug free, but I could be wrong. If I'm right then you would still have your bug free stock rom, with BLN ability, and a vast improvement of battery life. You would be a very happy camper indeed. It's definitely worth a try.

---------- Post added at 06:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

Beastmod 4.2? Why not Beastmod 5.0?

But I agree. For the rom best for an individual theymust look at:

Theme

Stability

Performance

Features

Battery Life

To me it's beastmod 5 then maybe Tuesday next. But Darkside's digital Warfare would be the ABSOLUTE BEST to me if it wasn't for the echo when calling other s2 phones.

Im on Juggernaut now. Loving it. But i must say i was a huge fan of the ICS Skyrocket port from att. It was very clean and didn't notice many bugs if any. I struggled to get my stuff restored on it. So i went back to juggs. Used TB to restore on juggs and everything was back to normal.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MathiasKnight:
Hey guys,

Ok, so here's the deal: I ruined my X2, completely unrelated to MODing, and opted for a 4G Bionic. Cool phone, but a totally different world from the X2. I can't even gain Root status. From what I gather this is mainly because I am on the new 5.9.902 build, which requires me to revert to an older version, gain root, flash forever root, THEN update? This is probably totally off base but any info is appreciated...Thx
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
Rooting 902 is easy:

Get the latest 5.5 moto-drivers here... USB and PC Charging Drivers -Motorola Mobility,Inc. USA

Make sure your device is in USB debugging mode,attach it to your PC.

Then use this to root.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63864500/motofail_windows.zip (for windows pc only)

Extract the entire zip file,and execute “run.bat”.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MathiasKnight:
Thanks bro, I'm on it now....

Alright, the problem is that when I open Motofail #1 my phone isn't recognized in "Charge Only" mode and #2 if I switch to "USB Mass" it roots but gives an error of not being able to push SU...

You in usb debugging mode and also turn on apps from unknown sources.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MathiasKnight:
Still nothing. In Motofail, while it's doing it's thing it says things like "more than one device emulator" and a bunch of errors. IDK. What about if I Flashed to an earlier version? I read somewhere that you must have been rooted in a previous build to gain root in 902. True?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
No. Motofail works flawlessly.

You have your phone booted normally?

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Make sure usb debugging and appa from uknown sources are checked in setting>>>apps>>>development

Try using rear usb port too.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MathiasKnight:
Yeah dude, just brought it home from Verizon. I haven't done anything...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
You downloaded all the files to your pc, right?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
To be on the safe side, reinstall the drivers.

Here's Moto's page where the most updated drivers are kept: http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/handset_usb_driver/

After you've reinstalled, reboot your PC.

While your PC is rebooting, ensure that USB Debugging is enabled, as well as enabling "Unknown sources".

Once your PC is all the way back up, plug in your Bionic, set it to Charge Only, then run Motofail on it. Motofail absolutely works on 5.9.902
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MathiasKnight:
I've gone through every method I can find short of flashing back, which now that I think about would have been a bad idea I think. I've even tried to manually achieve root by Command Prompt (MS, which is the same thing as Terminal Emulator...right?) And PowerShell, also Microsoft, but i'm not familiar enough with the line commands or what they're supposed to look like...but i'm studying. This will not get me down!! Are there even any decent stable ROM's for the Bionic?

I've had no problem rooting my Bionic (also a defector from X2). I've tried Eclipse 2.2 and Axiom ICS on my Bionic. I haven't tried Gummy or other ICS builds.

Not sure why I had a problem switching from Unsafe to Safe in Safestrap but I lost the ability to toggle (into safe) multiple times. What I saw of Eclipse it looked to be a very good gingerbread based rom. Too bad I couldn't keep it running. Axiom ICS seemed quite nice, too, but I've been afraid to toggle back into safe mode to continue using it.

Right now I'm running stock rooted .902.

I tried the game on my stock gb 2.3.6 rooted with speedmode kernel

No overclock or underclock or undervolt..etc

And yes the game does heat up ur device like most of hd games like gameloft games

My device even gets worm by multi tasking

Generally my device is always 33temp when multi tasking and stuff like that

When gaming goes +40 depends om the game u play

I hate the over heat on galaxy s2 alot specially in summer it gets really hot... in winter i dont notice over heat that much..

I flashed SpeedROM 4.0 and now I am unable to send mms messages (redundant) while I'm connected to my WiFi. I searched all over that thread to find a fix and all I came up with was to install Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS over the Play Store. tried it. it came up with an error "Duplicate Provider Authority" Any help?

I also found out that there's no notification of messages on the lock screen nor does it chime/vibrate/notify when you receive a message from an unknown number

It never happened on the stock ics with sense 3.6. If I knew how to do all of this stuff I would help. My best guess is that the answer is in the stock ics ROM. I have my stock backup if anyone needs it for study

You do realise I'm on stock ICS right? If you read the wifi thread that's in this very sub forum, you'd see it's not just me that has the issue, many members here as well, go over to tmo's forum and check the ICS bug list thread, you'll see a damn long list of others there as well.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Si_Wolfbane:
Yeah I had stock ics for a while before I switched. I don't know how to flash the kernal though. Honestly if I knew how, I'd just put stock ics mms.apk in the.zip but I tried that already and it canceled the install. Don't know how to do that either
[HTC Amaze 4G] Si_Wolfbane:
Just reflashed the kernel, same problems still exists. I'm confused now as to what to do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Then go stock, see if the problem is still there or not.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
"Duplicate Provider Authority" means that you are trying to install something that the phone already has system flags dedicated for(this explanation could be a little better).. Speedrom already has the MMS app, use a root tool, titanium backup - something to remove mms.apk from the system/app folder, then you will be able to install the one in the market -- not that that is a sure fire fix.. but one thing at a time. Try that, that is the only reason you couldn't install.
