[Q] Favorite rom flavor? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I know there isn't a "best" firmware out there, so I though I'd get everybody's opinion of what YOUR favorite rom is for SKYROCKET.

Careful there going to close your post because it has nothing to do with skyrocket even tho its a great question and a great topic to discuss...with that said I'm using Seans sky is 4.2 by far the best ROM stock or custom flash and enjoy the speed and battery

Look in the dev section. You will see the popular Roms. No need for more useless threads like this.

Thanks for your guys feed back.

I'd say use the Faux kernel with Sky Ice Cream
It gives me the best battery life... about 2 days with moderate use.
And NEVER use ROM Manager. It's BAD. VERY BAD!

ICS customization tool

Just in case people haven't seen this and are running an ICS rom
-I have only tried this on EB CM9 and HFS... I am almost positive it will not work with aosp as they are not cm9 roms
Updated post with some screen shots that are from my phone there are many different ways you can set it up, I'm still learning how much it can do lol... kinda cool though.

I go through the android general themes and apps and all those sections everyonce in a while to see what I find. Its a pretty cool thing though gives you alot cool customization capabilities

updated with some pictures from my phone if people want to see what it does without clicking on the link and stuff lol.
What rom are you running while using this tool? I used to use rom toolbox by jrummy.. but it hasn't worked as well with ICS...
I read in the OP that it works on CM9 roms .. I know that CM Roms are AOSP by nature but not all AOSP Roms are CM9 , correct?
Most specifically, will this work with The newest EaglesBlood AOSP ICS Rom?

No this wont work with the newest Eaglesblood rom. I have tried and you end up losing your status bar.
If people want to pm me what roms they have tried and this worked or failed on so I can add them to the O.P. that'd be great

You must be missing out on hashs amazing kernel. I don't like being a guinea pig because I'm still new to rooting and flashing. I finally set up adb which took me forever

Best JB rom & T-Mobile radio combo

Hey guys, just wondering what is the best combination of JB Roms and T-Mobile radios? What works and what doesn't? Would love to flash the skyrocket to JB but would like it to work flawlessly with T-Mobile. Is the Blaze modem still the best to use?
Would like to hear what you guys are running.
Thanks.

Never use the term best in this forum u will get flamed for it just a friendly warning
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
OK.
Well I'm not sure how to ask then. I just wanted to know what some combinations people are running and if they notice any issues.
Not trying to say one ROM is better then the other. My bad.
Can I run the Blaze modem over a JB ROM? Particularly one slim jb?

Best JB ROM with S3 features

I am looking for the best JB ROM for the S3 but I would like to still have the s3 look and feel and not have to go to a stock ROM. Any recommendations?
My recommendation would be to post in the right forum for a change.

You could always try and make one to your own liking.

Clean Rom 4.0 has all S3 features, and its theme-able. Look for Wasabi's post in the Theme forum after you flash Clean Rom4.0

Wait for Galaxy mod rls.6. This ROM is so smooth and buttery. Super fast and incredible battery life. He's rebasing to the Verizon base so wait for a couple days but definitely try this one out.
BTW.. Unless your a developer you should really never post on the development threads. :thumbup:

[Q] Which Sky ROM is more stable

I've been using the Sky ICS ROM for about 4 months, loving it, works great. Wondering about the Jellybean, also Sky from Seansreamz.
Can anyone who has used both tell me if the Jellybean from Sean is as stable and ready for every day use as the ICS ROM?
Thanks

My experience with the latest T11 base has not been positive. Sean himself has said the T7 base with the matching update was practically perfect ... those can be found on goo.im, if they're no longer available here.
I prefer his newer JB version, his roms have always been the most stable for me regardless of the phone. Solid work!
I've been using Sky JB daily since Sean first created it and have had no problems.

Anyone have an opinion on battery life, Sean's ICS ROM compared to his JB ROM, assuming same usage, same power saving measures?

I have nothing but respect for seanz and everything he has done for our community. He has been with skyrocket for a long time and has contributed SOO much. That said, I haven't had a lot of luck with his roms for a while now. Could just be my device, I don't really know. I have used official Cyanogenmod for a while now and I've never had any issues. They are like butter and so clean.
