I have a very easy question for experts. I asking for the good from for my Exhibit II? I'm looking for "no battery drain","no game lag" and especially "everything works"??

Here is a list of a few different ROMs to try out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G
Scroll to the bottom of the page and there's a list of custom ROMs. I've personally used RebelROM and consider that to be one of the best. It is fast, light and battery efficient. RebelROM is only gingerbread though. If you want a taste of ICS, then Jocala is working on a CM9 port to the exhibit ii.
Unfortunately though, this great phone does not have a large developer base. There is not really a wide range to choose from, but make do with the ones that are available.
Have fun and good luck.
Thanks! I'm trying CM9 right now and I will really use RebelRom. I don't like CM9 because of Battery Drain! I really appreciate your post.

No problem. The latest builds of RebelROM seems amazing. I've only used up to version 2.1 when I had the exhibit and it was incredible. Great ICS launcher and fast and speedy. Kinda feeling a bit nostalgic now....
Anyways, if it was that good back then, it must REALLY be awesome now!
It's a such a great phone, but had so little development back when I had it. I literally had to use stock ROM for a few months. Now it's good to see that there's more development for it.
So you're cm9

what's the best popular rom for us

I'm using the new venom ROM. I've tried buoyancy, nexusmod, and super stock. I like venom so far. I'll probably switch before to long. That's the beauty of Android - lots to choose from.

personal preference my friend. Try a couple out and see which one you like
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Agreed, you have to try some out and pick your favorite. If you ask 20 people on this section by PM randomly I bet you'd get at least 5-6 different answers.
SkyICS + Venom depending on your personal taste get my vote right now for multiple reasons, but the biggest being support and production. A vast majority of the roms that have come out for this phone have never/rarely been updated (no offense intended, people have lives, things happen, you get new phones, etc...).
Often, the stock ROM is the best since at least all the phone's capabilities are accounted for. More often, a rooted stock ROM is better since you can freeze bloatware, get around tethering restrictions and the like. Beyond that, it's kind of up to you to do your homework to make sure that a particular ROM does everything you need it to do (Bluetooth streaming, both cameras work, etc) and that you like the layout.
On a side note......
Q: What's the best way not to spam the board?
A: You don't post the same question in multiple sections.
Please don't do it again. Thank you.
Running venom right now and very pleased.

If you enjoy a nice, clean, look, I'd check out NeXuSMOD 2.0. It does everything I need it to do, and it's very easy on the eyes. Solid battery life as well.

I've been enjoying Ice Cream Sandwich - Multiple Flavors. While I'm tempted to try some of the other ROMs out there, this one is really great.
It's the overclocked version, I scored a AnTuTu benchmark of 7284.
Does anybody when and or when I can drop Android 4.0.x on my baby?

Well to be honest there are tons of threads that can answer your question. The answer that i know is Sammy said they will release 4.0 for all galaxy variants in first quarter of this year and they said this back in December and have not heard any fixed time period since than.

For a noob(i mean this is the best way) cm9 may be a bit much, I'd say either embryo or nexus mod. Or, if you feeling crazy, sky.

RE: Best ROM
True enough, they are all great! but for a noob who flashed all the roms the least buggiest so far is SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10 for me anyways.
Again there are different flavors to choose from and it also depends on what you use on your phone. Some bugs may show up days later.

All these guys are right cause there really is no right or wrong answer to your question. When it comes to custom roms its all about personal preference. What someone else really loves you may find out you don't like. So my advice is become a flashaholic like most of us here are and start flashing until you find that perfect custom rom that fits your needs and wants. Just remember to make a backup of your current rom before you start flashing anything that way you can always go back to what you have now. Oh and just so you will know design gears is about to release a new ics leak for the skyrocket soon according to his twitter account so you may want to wait and see what that is all about and the I'm sure plenty of custom roms will be based off of it soon as well... happy flashing...

It would probably be better to be more specific. A better question would be "which are roms are the most stable" or "which roms are the fastest" or maybe "Which rom has the most features?"
I personally am also trying to decide which rom to go with. I have a friend who owns a Skyrocket and he wants me to root the phone then flash a custom rom, so I'm looking into this. I think I'll probably flash Nexus Mod just because it looks like AOSP. Like many others, it has carrier IQ disabled and has been debloated.

+1 to what everyone else said.
I'm amazed that non of the usuals got on here to flame and say "read one of the other hundred threads like this" or "newb dont post questions in the general section" guess you guys are slipping.
AOKP, the best of the best.

+1 to sky ics for stability (iv flashed the aosp apps patch) it was giving me fc's on other roms but none on this one
nexusmod ics was good but the rom seems to start facing issues after a week of use (might be user error but others were also experiencing this) and also the rom has no further development as MOD has been bricked and has also moved to cm9.
AOKP - great rom that has just surfaced with some solid devs at work still has a few minor issues but this one will become a gem
cm9 - same as above, great dev support but it still has a few minor kinks to be worked out
The above post is right especially about cm and aokp
CM9 Skyrocket
The newish Slim ICS ROM is pretty good too. Gives you some AOSP apps and seems pretty stable and super snappy for me so far. But as others have said, just look at some of the ones with higher traffic and more recent posts and see what you like. Embryo is a nice one i you want a more stock exoerience. Dev is super responsive too. With the new leak and impending (hopefully) official release, they'll all be rebased anyway. TiBu Pro and nandroid are your friends.

After owning my Skyrocket for a couple months, I'm finally ready to take the plunge and install a new ROM. I saw the how-to guide, so I should be set there, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the number of ROM's available here for the Skyrocket. It seems like Cyanogen is a popular one, but there are so many options! Would you all mind pointing me to a couple of the better ones to research further or tryout?
I'm coming from the stock Skyrocket ROM with WidgetLocker for the ICS lockscreen and have no complaints with the GUI, but then again I'm open to change since I don't know what's out there. My primary concerns are speed and reliability, however if there are new features that people find particularly valuable, I would like to hear about them. It doesn't sound like the ICS mods are stable enough yet, but if there are any ROMs in the works I should keep an eye on, I would be glad to know know about them.
Thanks for the help!
x2 I would be interested in what people have to say.
I recommend Embryo rom for reliability. It is very stable, but there's not a lot of themeing so it looks stock.
If you are after a feature-rich rom, try Sky ICS. It even has stuff from the Galaxy S3. It looks good with all the themes and add-ons available.
Embryo is a good into to ICS roms. Sky ICS is feature rich but might be a little overwhelming at first. CM9 is really good if you want an AOSP experience.
Cool, thanks for the feedback. I'll look into those. Any idea how they are for stability?
I'm having a really good experience with NexusMod. Not ICS, though.

I'm running seanzscreams latest build SKYICS 4.2E-8 (ULCE2) rom. Very fast, solid, dependable (been running it for a week so far). Has lots of customizations available. I noted approx 15-20% increase of battery life since GB.
Any of the Alien Builds are great. Especially the one for GB. But as the posts above say, SKYICS for features. If you're going to an ICS ROM, I suggest you use the one click first.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Back on nexusmod anyway... ICS is starting to remind me of Windows ME or vista. Meh... it works ok, I guess, but the last version is so much better!
ICS feels so bloated compared to GB. Even AFTER I debloat it!

hi guys, I'm Italian, I bought a samsung captivate in USA, and I want to modify it .... the problem is that there are lots of rom here on the site (I am familiar, in fact I have changed other smartphone), and read them in English, for me, is a little bit difficult ... you could advise me the best rom page, please? thanks
See the Captivate Development Forum for all Roms.
And This Guide by TRusselo for installation help.
For starters Cyanogenmod is best suited since it's very well supported if you stuck somewhere there will be many people to help you out . So go with CM9 and have fun with it.
Try Slim ICS or CyanogenMod9 from Captivate Development Forum.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
There are ICS Roms for the Captivate. But flashing does come with some risk...see This Thread and This Thread also .
As far as what is best or...whatever, u will just have to do some reading on ur own in the Development Forum on the several available ICS Roms there and decide what best suits you and what u want on your phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Try aokp mod. That looks cool. I recommend a light weight rom because it has 1ghz processor.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
There are many rom for Captivate. However, I think Slim and AOKP is the best for our Cappy
slimroms.com/
aokp.co
Try MIUI: http://roms.miui.us/
It is based on CM9. Super stable, lots of eye candy.
Straight from the horse's mouth
Nostalgia ROM beats them all.

The best ROM is the one that works best for you. Try a few out and make your own decision.
I am currently using ShoStock 1.3. Has anyone compared ShoStock to CleanROM? I am new to the Glaxy S4 and have ShoStock working well, I am just wondering what the difference between the two ROMs are...

Comparisons are not allowed on XDA. You will have to read the features of each in their respective OPs to see how they compare. Most Devs do a really great job of detailing features and if you read through each thread you will find advantages and disadvantages as well as any things that need fixed. Good luck.
You can say, whats the difference and it would fly, but as scott says above, no vs stuff period. if you want to continue, change your title and edit your post...quick I might add...good luck.
Its subjective like most things in life.
You need to try both of Roms to see which one you like the most.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
If you like shostock then stick with it. It obviously has some features that are important to you. Scott always does a great job on his cleanrom for any device. I haven't tried it on the s4 yet. I can't seem to leave mint jelly at the moment.

Versus threads are not allowed on XDA as they always lead to drama. The information you seek can easily be found by reading the two ROM threads. Members are expected to do the research. This is NOT a support site, it is a development site.
