[Q] ICS for Samsung Galaxy S II - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I've been lurking around for some time and found quite a lot of ICS builds for Galaxy S II. But all of them had very bad comments concerning stability. (Including one leak from Samsung).
So my question is fairly simple: is there any stable-"enough" for daily browsing/emailing? (I don't even use my phone as a phone anymore but more for internet stuff)
One of my colleague installed an alpha of Cyanogen on his Nexus S and he says that everything is running quite fast and smooth.
Any good suggestions would be appreciated and welcome.
Thanks!

It's a really nice MIUI ics build. Stable, smooth, and the battery is ok, around 25 hours of moderate usage for me. I used it for about a week and I'm really pleased with it. If you wait a few days there is gonna be a new version, with improved battery life
The only bad thing is the absence of the video codec.

CM7 - post your best choice nightly here

To help sort out good nightlies from buggy ones, please post your best choice CM7 nightly here. This will help others who want to test nightlies to try out good ones for best time utilization.

I prefer this one.
Battery consumption is very high, 12 hours maximum.

Happily using 0826, no issues. Its pretty hard to have a decisive recommendation as users are running so many different apps and configurations..
last boot179-4 1650-i forgot date...august ???
This seems to the correct thread to ask this question. I have tried few nighties randomly dome are very stable and some are not. But none of them have given exceptional battery life. Has anyone come across a stable nightly with great battery life.

have you Undervolted? That can give you the battery life you are looking for.

Hi,
I can recommend this version:
cm7-110716-0105-BOOT179-Jordan.zip
This version runs perfekt with very long battery life and works perfekt for me (cam, gps, wlan, battery...). But it is only version 2.3.4. I use this rom since a few weeks and I have no problems.

Ok, even am hunting for that, and i found 110814 wrking very good for me.
Its 2days,5hr, still 55% left
In my case, my sim was 6yrs old, so replaced it with new1 and that has given me better battery.
my configuration: check this thread

And thanks to cm7defy devs for making such a wounderful rom.
...110822 boot179-4 nightly, very stable, works like a charm!
From main CM7 thread:

Besides that, I've tested the 110822-1650 nightly for a week now and I get 4d6h37m (4% left) on battery, love it!

I really doesn't understand this "myth" of the "best nightly"...
As far as I can tell the development is pretty much straight forward, and the best version is always the last - with bugfixies and new features who will get their bugfixies in a later version.
the best version is not necessarily the last one, we all have seen pretty screwed up nightlies. but now im using 110822 boot179, and i havent noticed any bugs yet, and it runs smooth, no lags, very good battery life.

Software dev is not that straight forward. With an OS it is actually hugely complex and anything changed might have unexpected consequences. The idea of posting here is to ID those ones that get a consistent good report.
I am currently on 110826-2119- NIGHTLY-Jordan.
Can I flash 0822 boot179-4 nightly directly on top of this and clear Dalvik and cache or is there any other procedure.....

jep, can confirm the high battery consumption on this nightly...
but would say that it's not the best rom at all
Well... I wait everyday for the latest nightly... And I can say I'm happy everyday. Haven't seen a sensive decrease in battery life ou system stability in any of the nightlys, only improvements
I update my defy with latest nightly version every ten days; I can't find any obvious issue yet.

CM7 Alpha 7 Comments

I just had to tell people, in case you have been worried about trying. I am running this rom right now, the battery life seems improved and the performance is phenomenal. The time I have spent with this phone I have been constantly trying new kernels and roms to see which runs the best, runs games smooth, generally works. And kept coming up with nice looking smooth roms missing the normal umph I am used to.
Updated to C7 A7 today and it works great smooth gaming everything works, the camera is much improved over the previous cm7's. I have no kernel flashed just the one that came with CM7 and it runs games like asphalt 6 perfectly smooth. This is clocked at 1124 as well so it runs cool (Temperature.) .. Fast and Cool Also has 380ish free RAM so it doesn't have allot of background stuff going, I would imaging the battery life is pretty good, don't know for sure yet. And the GPS works quick, connects to 10 satellites sitting on my couch in my living room!
The only real issue is the wifi signal is not as strong, though it doesn't disconnect or anything its just the signal is lower.
I know this is a bit random and what not but I wanted this out here for anyone that was looking for smooth gaming like I was, after all this is supposed to be faster than the tegra chipset!
Cool. I was waiting for it to be out of Alpha, but I may just go ahead and flash it sooner rather than later.
Yeah, take the jump. I haven't found a reason yet to not recommend it to anyone. Been playing with it pretty heavy today too.
Is anyone having issues with the wallpaper not sticking in cm7. Mine keeps changing randomly.

I'm on 6 right now and it's great. Quick and easy just like any other asop or CM rom.

for me battery life is the worst thing =[
Battery life - (Light to moderate usage today) I've unplugged it and left it on from 3am to 8am and it showed 100% still. google and xda forum a little like 5mins and it dropped 2%. It hasn't been charged since and its been 15hours with 40% batt life.
Front camera looks hazy, not sure why but it'll probably get fixed by devs sooner or later. lock screen is awesome, really fast. Graphically every thing looks really good. On sense 3.0 we need to unlock to see time, with CM7 we don't need to any longer General text in CM7 is much biggerand Incoming call text is way-way-Wayyyy bigger compared to other roms Thank you devs ! it made it so much easier to see who's calling now.
i've been using various phones for the past few years and they all had this particular problem i've been facing. if someone calls me and hangs up and speed dials and calls me back immediately, my phone would be engaged. on CM7 and that problem has gone away!!! woohoo!!!!
i can't wait for it to go Beta/stable

have you tried clearing your batt stats in recovery ?
its been reported batt charging is a little off for some people. i was charging it last night and it usually takes between 3~4 hours. on CM7 it only took like 1.5 hours.
I've unplugged it after charging and left it on to see how the drainage goes. its seems alright here.
Hmm been thinking about using this but not sure since it's still in Alpha. I will probably just wait until it's out of alpha/beta. I want a solid rom without many glitches/bugs =p

Use "FXR WIFI fix and rescue" from market..Fixed my low wifi signal bug instantly!!.Still have issue with wifi calling after all update/zip patches.Battery life great after stat wipe and calibration..Stable fast ROM with few bugs @-A7..Already dreaming of a ICS Cyanogen..
I think about 9/10 bugs in the CM7 thread now are due to noob mistakes or people not wiping properly or people restoring bad data into the ROM with titanium backup or its a badly behaving app not the ROM.
This ROM is rock solid for me and many others. Looking at the main thread it might seem otherwise because of all the people reporting errors. Not many happy users pop in to talk about how smooth and stable this ROM is.

Best ICS based MIUI Rom?

I Just finished trying out the brickmaker one and now i'm about to try out the Galnet one but does somebody have any other recommendations?
Okay I ended up trying the one from miuiandroid.com but can't find a kernel that works, can anybody suggest one?
i think the best MIUI Rom is brickmaster.but u should try oodie too...
and for the kernel.why u dont ttry matrix kernel.
I'm on matr1x right now and it drains my battery pretty quick. On the old miui that was based on gingerbread I had franciscofranco kernel which worked great with battery life but the past few days the battery has been messing up so I decided to switch roms. Any other suggestions on kernels for great performance and battery life?
It's not ics based but I'm really digging fergie's new joint for the ns4g.
doesn't need to be ICS but I really love the way you swipe away notifications and apps to close them. Is there any way I could flash those features onto gingerbread MIUI? sorry for the stupid questions I'm new to android
Oodie's is slick especially with speed7 thouugh I do have some problems with youtube and flash. It did however score top 5 in that benchmark of all ICS roms and as far as battery life is concerned, especially with speedy I can last two and a half days on light use (Including about an hour and a half of watching justin.tv streams).

Your Preffered ROM? (Dec 2012)

(Nov 2012)
We have been very fortunate with a recent influx of ported ROMs and modified experiemental Kernels and want to gather people's opinions on what the best Daily Driver ROM/kernel combo is these days.
What says you!
Well when my DS died a month or so ago I was bouncing between CM 9.1 with the experimental kernel, paranoid android, and virtuous infinity (1.3.5 beta 1). Each had its own merits... cm9 is on there right now but the screen doesn't work lol.

I am a huge fan of MikTouch and always keep a android just in case. It is probably the most stable of any Rom available.
This week I finally tried the new AOKP from SilverL. I haven't tried an AOKP before. I love all the tweaks in Rom control. It will probably be my daily driver for awhile.
Just try a few and see what you like. Good luck.

CM 9.1. Running the R3 ROM with the R8 kernel and everything's working smooth.
I second npiper. I tried a couple of the ICS roms and enjoyed them, but after a week or two I couldn't deal with the little issues any longer and went back to the rom that hasn't let me down, MikTouch. I can't remember ever having an app fc on me with it.
MAN! That's like taking a police officer into a Dunkin Donuts and asking him to pick one favorite! :laugh:

I try all of the ROMs that come out. But I always end up back on the Miktouch 0.7 ROM because it is super stable and everything works without having to sacrifice virgins or do anything else extraordinary.

Lol.
Interesting, I never knew Miktouch was so preferred around here. I've always skipped over it because it was Sense and I've never been happy with stock sense. I'll maybe give it a shot this week. It's GB not ICS, right?
I'm also going to test out CM9.1 r8 and see how I fair with it compared to my (somewhat) trusty CM9 Alpha5
Paranoid Android is a very fun idea and I love having it as an option, but I'm not sure a screen our size really calls for it

I'm testing out the new CM9.1r8, as well. Miktouch is indeed GB. With it I'm regularly getting 30+ hours of use with my 1900mAh battery. I'm anxious to see what I get with the new CM9.1r8. I tested the earlier r5 build of CM9.1 and just wasn't totally happy with it so I went back to Miktouch. I love the look of the ICS/Sense4 and Sense 3.6 ROMS, but none of them have the stability and battery life I need, so I end up back at Miktouch.
30+ hours sounds fantastic, but for reference how long would you say you manage to get on a CM9 ROM?

Depends on usage really. I can get up to 40 hours out of one of my ankers with around 4 hours screen on time. Or I could get 9 hours battery life with the same usage, it just depends on how hard core you use your phone that day.

Yeah what he said. There are users that will claim to have amazing battery life and then post screen shots of Display only accounting for like 30% of the usage.. When that's the case then you know the thing isn't on that much because it really is display that uses the most juice if you're using your phone heavy.
That said, I've had the Mugen 3600 since the day it was released and I can always get through a whole day without any worry even if i'm talking for hours, playing games whatever surfing the net and checking XDA regularly etc.. Sometimes I put the smaller batteries back in because the phone looks sharp stock but then I find myself concerned about being near a charger and I hate that feeling. I just want to plug it in while I'm sleeping and use it at will the rest of the time and with the "big boy" I totally can.

Yea I get that, I meant to pose that question to him specifically to see how his battery life scales with the two different roms since the user is pretty much invariably the biggest drain on battery.

I just loaded this CM9.1r8 ROM yesterday, so don't have any complete sense of battery life, yet. Though so far it is looking very good. I get such battery life on my phone because when I am home it does sit with the screen off most of the time. At home it connects via Bluetooth to my Panasonic cordless phones and Wi-Fi to my home network. All the voice calls I make or receive go through those cordless phones to the cellphone (my MT4GS is my only phone, I don't have a landline or other mobile). I do some texting on the phone, and of course when I go out of the apartment it isn't connected to Bluetooth. When I'm out I will use maps sometimes, apps like Friendstream and Foursquare. Oh, and when out I am almost always listening to music either stored on my SD card or streaming from Google Music or the FM radio. So, not a "hardcore" user, I guess, but I do what I need. Miktouch recently got me over 2 days of use on a single charge, but more typical is about 28-30 hours. The new CM9.1r8 is looking to behave similarly so far.

I got this build before it was posted from the dev, so I have a bit more experience on the battery. I ran it for 24 hours straight without recharging, got in 2.5 hours of web browsing, another hour of wifi calling in, and the batter was at 15% when I woke up this morning (Anker 1900 mAh). Everything I've tested has worked fine. The one gotcha on the battery may be if you boot into it initially--I noticed that on the first reboot, it wasn't going into deep sleep, but after I rebooted a second time, it was clean. It may require a full battery pull for the hardware to completely reset or something. Otherwise, things are great!
CM9.1 r7 kernel and ROM. Flashing to r8 soon. My only gripe with this ROM is the camera is a little lacking, but I'd take stock AOSP over the sense camera any day. If I were to use GB though, I'd go with one of Undead9k's "senseless" ROMs.
Well this might seem obvious to most in this community, but since I spent as long as I did not updating maybe there are others out there as well...
I have found no reason to *not* update from cm9 to cm9.1 r8.
Does anyone have any opinions of our new AOKP vs CM9.1 roms?
Actually I'm using CM9.1r8 ROM, too. Although it's still soon to throw a veredict, by the moment I'm getting great battery life, and it works perfect and smooth.
The only feature I still miss is the alt/caps led/status bar indicator ;(

With CM10 still in alpha, CM9 with R9 kernels, and AOKP, PACman, Paranoid Android and MIUI all updating what's your new preffered daily driver ROM?
I'll be testing CM10 tonight since my CM9 flash has recently started having problems connecting to the network for a short time every other week.

[Q] To change ROMs or not

So I typically root almost all my android devices once I get them. My Infinity was the first device I tried keeping stock unrooted as long as possible. I will be honest with saying that there were some times that I didn't even think about the fact if it was rooted or not. Unlike my phone I really only use it for class from time to time to take notes and mostly read books/comics or play games. However, I was utterly floored by the speed difference that my friend got out of his by rooting his. He picked up a TF700 about a month ago from ebay and rooted it the other day. We then spent yesterday testing it out with similar loads. His battery life was about an hour better than mine doing relatively the same thing (head to head gaming), watching netflix, and browsing a few comics. What really got me was the speed and decrease in lag. Honestly I didn't even realize the lag was so bad on mine (I guess I had grown use to it) compared to his.
So my question is this: Would I get even better performance / stability / battery life out of changing the rom to say Cyano or Paranoid or is the stock ROM minus the apps and a few tweaks from the threads the best I am going to get?
If anyone has any expriences they are willing to share with me I would greatly appreciate it.

I personally like Cromi/Cromi-X. I used Cyano for a while but settled on Cromi for the speed. Cromi is based on stock and optimized for speed, so if don't care about additional customization, I would say go for Cromi. But you will lose your warranty if you unlock the tablet to install custom ROMs. Not sure about stability/battery life improvements but I've never had issues with either on Cromi.

This is my two cents. Any custom rom and kernel that you pick will be faster than the stock. I am using Cromi X 4.7 and Hund 3.3.2. I believe that they are very major and stable. The battery life is depended on how you set your device up. Wifi and screen brightness are the most battery consumptions of all. You can go to the wifi advance setting and set it to never use wifi during sleep. You can lower the brightness of your screen unless you are outside to use the ips+. You can also set your turn off screen to one or two minutes before it goes to sleep. With all of that can give more battery back. You will be happy with Crmi X with your choice of kernel..

I wanted to thank both of you for all the help that you have provided. This was great advice and Cromi-X works amazingly. While I was drawn to CM by its features, trying out the speed of Crom definitely was a high point for me. The difference from the stock (even stock rooted with apps pulled) and Crom is night and day.

I wanted to thank both of you for all the help that you have provided. This was great advice and Cromi-X works amazingly. While I was drawn to CM by its features, trying out the speed of Crom definitely was a high point for me. The difference from the stock (even stock rooted with apps pulled) and Crom is night and day.

I think when the Cromi X 5.0 RC1, you should give it a shot. I think that it will be even better than the previous versions..
Thanks Sbdags for your hard works.. :good:
