[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joyj112:
For this thread, I'm just going to summarize every Rom i used so far and write a review on here. This is just my opinion and my preference. I respect each rom and thank each developer for making these Roms. I'm creating this thread so that people can decide what rom they want to use depending on what they need. Also, this thread is targeted to people who are new to this forum and doesn't want to try out every singe rom that's out there. I usually look for performance and battery life. The kernel setting for each rom is the same. The setting I use for each rom will be:

Min: 192

Max:1200

Govenor: Samsung/HYPER <---- depends

Scheduler: cfq

Now, I use these roms for days, I don't judge on each rom by using them for a few hours. I use them for at least 4-7 days before changing into a different rom.

Just to let you know: I use the kernel that comes WITH the Rom. If I do install a different kernel, I'll post it up on this thread too. Scores are going to be between 1~10.

1. PsiRom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2496210

-Honestly, out of all the 4.3 rom i've used, this is the best for me. Never lagged a single bit and battery is pretty decent for a 4.3 rom.

-Decent amount of features, but not as much as the other 4.3 rom's I used.

-Because this is a 4.3 rom, there might be some issues: SD Card problem, Gallery issues.(Not the Rom's fault!!!!)

-It has Viper Audio, WHICH IS AWESOME~~~!!!! Depending on what setting you use, your battery life might vary.

Performance: 9

Battery Life: 8 for a 4.3 rom

2. Jedi Mind Trick 8 :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1818305

- Best 4.1.2 Rom out there.

- No issues whatsoever, but I sometimes I get this weird animation lag time to time.

- Jedi Kernel is awesome whatsoever, but if you use Tiberius 2.3, my goodness... battery life is insane!!!

- A good amount of feature for a 4.1.2 Rom.

Performance: 8

Battery Life: Jedi Kernel: 7 Tiberius 2.3: 9.5

Now, these roms are just what I've used so far. I will try out different roms time to time. For right now, I'm switching between Jedi Rom and PsiRom. If you want me to try out a rom, leave a post below and I'll try it out for a couple days. Again, this is just my opinion. Your opinions might be different for each rom and I respect each opinion. I will keep this updated every time I install an updated rom or new rom I've never tried.
