What is the most popular ROM? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I'm using the Stock UCLA3 debloated but am having a hard time deciding which ROMs to try out there are just so many.

I guess thread activity is probably the best indicator of most popular. In that case it's Sky Ics by a long shot with over 4k replies and 400k views.

Just so you know the most popular ROM might not be the one you like best, read all the OPs of the ROM pages and see which one fits your needs best.

Sky ics is really good but make sure you flash a ucla3 kernel with it like faux 10 or romracers stockish .3, since you're using the ucla3 radio

+1 to this. Thread activity does not equal popularity. You just have to read the threads through and get a feel for everybody's opinions and to see common issues or lack thereof.

Sky speed to have this thing launch from your hand. Anxiously waiting for mhx superlight 3.0. Currently on 2.6.

I think, well imo, that TPC has been the most stable ROM out there. I've tried so many popular roms like sky ics, buoyancy, cyanotouchwiz. But I always end up go back to TPC. The 2nd rom I'd choose would be sky ics. It is fast and smooth except only one thing:
It has an issue with force close and I THINK I know how it happens - some widgets won't work on homepage. For instance 3D flip clock. Whenever you add the widget on the homepage, it will force close right away.
Overall TPC is more stable and saves more battery life. I use the phone a lot and I end up with 20% after 12 hours use. Hope it helps

I second this, TPC is by far the most stable. Coupled with UCLA3 and faux kernel 0.10 and ur laughing

Nexus Mod4 , so far has been rock solid on my phone. I was gonna use Cyanogen, but their Alpha build is way too buggy.

I have been running MHX-Superlite 2 with Faux's 009 kernel and all I can say is WOW! Stable, fast, and best of all the battery life is amazing.

You should upgrade to 3.0...its way better

Once you start flashing.. U dont go back to STOCK! ;p
Stock is crap

Haha what he said_^^^^^^^

don't listen to either of these guys ^^^, they both don't know what they're talkin about ;-)

Yeah i recommend you get off of stock as fast as possible....... find a good stock like ROM..hmmm..... anyone know a good one? OH YEAH.. crap i forgot.

MHX-Superlite! thats what it was!
cause idk about this StockMod 2 everyone is talking about..
Just kidding you should really just check them out all at least all the new UCLA3 based ROMS, Sky-ice just doesnt seem right anymore with it being based off 2.3.5 and UXKJ2 so i reccomend going for a UCLA3 ROM.

Using MHX-SUPERLITE 3.0. Not have one problem. Fast smooth and great battery life

Darkslide v4.2

How come I don't see anything on DarkSlide in here. I think is one of the most stable and fastest roms out. Does anybody use it. I do. Just looking for a show of hands.

Agree Totally +1
Yes it is one of the most stable and outstanding ROMS out today for the Droid X and I can't wait for 4.3 cause I know they are going to bring some new flavor and goodness to it as if it was not already sweet enough...
+2, great ROM!
Second third fourth what ever this Rom is the cats azz I love it. Can't wait for the gingerbread flavor to be incorporated. To your question I believe since BB cooked it and he's mydroidworld I don't see him going around a lot. I think its more world of mouth that gets this Rom going.

Really depends on what you want. Liberty is very empty on stock but very fast, DS is stocked with blur/ and minimal bloatware, very fast as well. It all depends on your flavor. I think liberty is great for a super modder/hacker, but DS is everyday fast and everyday stable for the everyday user

I have been running this ROM for a couple weeks now and I have yet to find anything negative. I have flashed just about all the other ROMs on my DROID X and DS continues to blow them away with its overall stability, but best of all is the speed. This ROM is flat out FAST!!! I would say Liberty 1.5 and Apex 1.4 are tied for second place, but thats a distant second. Thanks to the devs!!!(all ROM devs)

very true but personally i prefer stability over customization any day
I really like this rom so far. The only complaint is the battery, compared to liberty..
That was fixed using juice defender and super power apps anyways.
The only serious thing is that there is no way to import contacts from the SD card. Most of my text messages, the sender is in my contacts, and it doesn't show their name. Instead, it shows the full #..
Also, anyone have some cool green backgrounds or docks?
For the Contacts Import, did you try this using the actual Contacts App? or just by going to the Dialer and going to your contacts from there? (Dumb question I know, but doesn't hurt to ask)
Also, If you don't mind using a Wallpaper App, then try out Zedge. It's a Wallpaper and Ringtone browser. If you get Zedge, then just do a search for "green" (this is how I found some pretty nifty color specific Wallpapers).
It didn't work in the contacts app, I had to change all my #'s to include a "1" in the beginning of the #..
This rom is awesome though, no freezes or issues at all.

I haven't, I did use liberty 1/1.5 and apex 1.3.1 though. Its so much smoother and the battery lasts significantly longer than either roms.

Hey guys, I have a droid x running darkslide 4.2, i love it!
I noticed that no one really talks about flashing/ devoloping kernels for the Droid X, can someone give me some light on this subject?
Cuz i know for my galaxy tab, I flash kernels and stuff and then flash roms but for my droid x I just flashed the rom.

[Q] Best battery life ROM?

What's the best ROM for battery life at the moment? I've been stock because of the various problems with nonofficial GB ROMs, it's probably the most functional, but one of the least stable.
What's a good ROM that has good battery life and is stable/functional? Or is good functionality going to be hit and miss for various people until official GB?
One other thing. The hell does AOSP mean?
I'm currently using juwe's smart edition (props to big fault for the port!) with a j2 modem and entropy's DD and my battery life is amazing

How's the functionality?
So far on all GB ROMs I've tried something that almost everyone uses doesn't work, and some apps force close, and there's other problems...
Nothing wrong with gb roms based on Rogers gb, except for HDMI not working, but who uses that anyway? I'm on infused 2.2.3 right now, I get about a day and a half of moderate use. There are really only bugs with miui., cm7, and any hellraised roms... infused or any of the leaks are fine.
AOSP = android open source project.

Now now, it isn't a dumb question. Roms like miui are going to have worse battery life because of the complexity, where stock based will have less battery drain. It comes down to trying it yourself, but asking for a little advice isn't a problem...

I had perfect batt life on miui when i wanted it. The only answer to the question is to try it yourself. Someone says this roms batt life is amazing and you flash it and hate the rom then youre back at square one. Answer is really simple....TEST ROMS OUT AND FIND WHAT YOU LIKE!

Yea there are a lot of minor setbacks, but there are few to no roms specifically for the infuse...I haven't tried cm7 or miui yet but I've tried most of the stock based roms and juwe's smart edition has had the best overall performance (with the help of a couple other tweaks).

[q] new to skyrocket

Hey guys i recently purchased a skyrocket and I do indeed plan on rooting it. I have a few questions about the phone though. Is there any special apps just for the skyrocket. Also what cool things can I do without a root? Im comming from and iPhone 4s so please excuse me if the questions sound a little silly.
define "cool things"....different for a lot of people.
you don't need root to make your phone look cool. There are tons of apps that can change the look of your phone without ever needing root.

The wallpaper is one of my own....I have a thread in Themes where I post all my Custom wallpapers.
There are literally thousands of ways to make your phone unique..
If all you want is to change the LOOK of your phone.....then theres no need to root.
do what the Man ( Mortem ) above said and check out those apps.
There really isn't anything good that can come from rooting you're skyrocket. All the roms for it are very unstable. The only things you could add are maybe battery percentage meters at the status bar and a few very minor mods but the phone is to new you wont really enjoy anything from rooting it.
Well rooting for me is always a given... as i like certain fonts, and adblock... but atm stock rooted on my skyrocket has been a wonderful exp.. where as prev phones stock roms have most always sucked.. Plus if I feel the need to theme or change etc I have my atrix to toy with.. the skyrocket is my work/daily driver,

THIS WHOLE STATEMENT IS BS...........
there ARE stable Roms for our phone, there is an unstable Kernel that may require patches to run right. but you can always run the stock/stockish kernels. Red Sonja is my Daily and is VERRRY stable for a beta. the Rockateer Rom is also stable along with TCPs and Quickwiz. maybe i dont know your idea of stable.
the CM7 rom has bugs and is unstable....but even that RUNS stable if you set it up RIGHT<<<< right being the key here.
anyway, that **** rubs me the wrong way.....
Your statement is your Opinion and it SUCKS. (that my op)

I don't agree with the tone, but I do agree that there are many stable roms. Do you're homework before rooting or using a custom Rom and you'll be happy. The cm10's are faster, smoother, and better battery life than ics. The other jb roms are just as good. Just make sure you get a rom that is specific to your device or you will create a brick. All Sll's are not the same.

Regardless, reading this did take me back. My first skyrocket ROM was made by PirateGhost. Red Sonja was queen of the skyrocket back then. And now Doc's back after a long hiatus with AoCP. And Mortem used to provide some great theme work. Now that's the skyrocket forum I miss. When the biggest issue was getting vibration to work on Red Sonja. Not the countless number of repeat questions and the lack of search skills.

I'm fairly new to android but i have a Rogers LTE and I am a software tester as my day time job..
I tried the TPC V3 and it was pretty good but i ran into some issues after a few days. I posted them somewhere on here but here they are again
1) the battery drained pretty quickly.
2) while in contacts it will all of a sudden jump to a random letter
3) when i try and open angry birds or fruit ninja it flashes and goes back to the home screen
4) when i reboot my phone the time is wrong and i have to set it to network time again
5) in the factory browser when i rotate the device it automatically goes back to Google.com no matter what page i am viewing, also it closes all my open windows too
Cosmetically - i'm not a fan of the 4G LTE icon and the Blue circle battery meter..
but this dev seems to update his stuff regularly and i am looking forward to trying it again as it was pretty fast and smooth.
I am currently just Rooted with these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
it works well and the battery life seems to be pretty good.. on LTE all day it lasts and wifi at home in the evening.. it still has the Rogers Bloatware on it but i just put into a CRAP folder and leave it at that..
Cyanogenmod 7 is the best with DA_G kernel version 4 for cm7. Phone is ultra stable & alot faster then it was with the Stock rom or any of the other custom roms.

+1, it all depends on what you want your phone to do and one that makes you love your phone
Try a few of them and then stick with The One.
This will probably narrow your options:
Gingerbread: mainly functionality and stability, great battery life.
ICS: Eye candy, stable, almost everything functional (look in the OPs for what doesn't)
Jelly Bean: Still developing but quite stable, fast (thank you butter )

It's true... "Best" is in the eye of the ROM Holder...
Do you want a customised build of the default OS version? (Gingerbread)
Or do you want to try something new and cutting edge? (Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean)
Personally, I had a lot of issues with stock and ROMs of Froyo and Gingerbread on my Infuse.
This is often not the case for users, it seems... But it was hell for me.
I decided to give Ice Cream Sandwich a try when a stable build finally came out, and decided to try out Paranoid Android, due to the interesting aspect of tablet style options on the phone.
In my opinion, my phone has never ever run so great in its life!
So, for me, Paranoid Android ICS is definitely the best!
For you? Well, read the features of each rom, check the screenshots and read the user feedback, and make a choice for yourself!
It make a few different tries to find one you settle best with.
As for me... Paranoid Android was JUST upgraded to Jellybean after the stable release of CyanogenMod 10.
I know where MY next move is. =D
Good luck, and happy flashing!
I agree. It's all in what you are looking for. You'll probably end up trying several before you find one that works for you. For me its Caty ROM oc to 1.6. My phone is no where near as fast with other roms. The main thing I do on my phone is games and normal phone use text, calls etc. I want my phone to snap when I use it. I have no lag on the phone or any game. Modern combat 3 etc. FPS (according to Nena) run 53-55fps. Far lower scores on other roms. And you can see the difference in performance. But after flashing several roms and reading problems, comments etc it seems that not all infuses like the same roms. People having problems where others dont. So just try some ROMs out yourself. Read the first post of different ROMs, look at screen shots, read a few posts. And flash the ones you are interested in. Maybe check Odin/Heimdall incase something goes wrong with a flash.

"best" rom is relative. i'm using paranoid android jelly bean. it's pretty awesome but "best" i don't know.
i'd say cm9 is best,the only real flaw is that the tourch feature of the camera flash doest work like it should. cm10 and other jb builds have a few flaws, wifi tether has a fix but no kernel was compiled yet as far as i know, give that a day or two. also agps doesn't work and cm10 is only so far along in development, there has been wonky stuff happening with trebuchet launcher for some people.
as far as samsung roms go i wouldn't run a custom one. maybe a custom kernel. but all the deodexed roms i used had bugs, all of them. i've deodexed it myself but had bugs (force close on start, broken email app, other obscure menus that sometimes didn't work) and don't have the skills to debug it.

Holy crap! Those are out now?
Bloody hell, I'm way behind with my crappy G4 Infuse!
...does the song play during boot up?
(And why am I reminded of that Ozzy Ozborurne Best Buy commercial? "What's a 6G?" ... "What's a Bieber??")
Glad to see so many others love Paranoid Android as well. =D

For me Scott.Hart.bti 's CM10 or even PA 4.1.1 are EXCELLENT roms. everything works a.o.k for me.
also Th3Bill has a good rom based off of Scotts CM10 , as well as an AOKP rom that works great :laugh: :good:
