Welcome developers,
This thread is dedicated to you developers who creates and modifies roms for the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket.
I am looking for a rom that is stable and will maintain a 2.3.5 base android build that will sustain the HSPA+ ATT APN without getting kicked from ATT or changing back to DUAL MODE/LTE in network settings. This rom MUST have ICS theme WITHOUT battery circle mod. MUST look similar to Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The first developer who can achieve this and create the best rom, not just looks but features and performance will receive the full bounty. So far, we have others willing to contribute to the donation fund. I hope this will empower you to create more roms.
$1000 for ICS
Yesss!! I can see ICS coming soon >
Interesting. Almost sounds like xboarders rom. Although I have never personally flashed it, I have read his OP numerous times.

Yes xborders rom pretty much sums that up. How ever i do not see this drawing much attention. Your post count is low. Meaning who is to say you can be trusted. Also you should have a means of posting proof of this bounty
the 2.3.6 issue with the APN switch to avoid throttling, I didn't have this problem. I was purely unthrottled over the phone APN (throttled over PTA) on 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 worked as well as the CM7 rom for 2.3.7

He can put part of the money up front into a waiting account, kind of like what you set up for the dev donation thread?
If it gets dev moving further here, then it could be a good idea. Especially if you left it open for others to donate also.
It could even get the attention of the Cyanogen MOD team?
xboarder's ROM is what I'm using as my current daily driver (for 48 hours now lol). It's not what he's looking for, but it is stable so far for me.

I have already finished the full ics theme for my ROM skyrocketeer. Finishing up some stuff on the update now. Have you tried my ROM yet at all or no because minus some stuff here and there that will be included in new update, I think it's damn stable 2.3.5?

What is the best vanilla rom and what is the best modified sense rom?
I want it to be light (uses a low amount of ram) and more stable/fast than the stock rom that gets shipped with your AT&T HTC One X... with better battery life.
Thanks,
Wir3d
This post is not going to be received well, FYI, but before they lock you down : I'm really enjoying CleanRom Lite. It's definitely more responsive than stock. It's Sense-based. Very stable (based on my experience, more stable than stock even).
I don't think any of them right now are going to affect battery life in any appreciable way.
There is no "best" ROM. The best one, is the one that fit your wants and needs, and those are not the same from person to person.
Also, just browse the forum or do a search. There are already lots of other threads like this.

There's no one answer because roms perform differently on different phones depending on usage and individual configurations. 500 people may love one rom to death, but you may find it doesn't work so hot on your phone. You have to test them out and see what's best for you.
Read the ROM threads, find one that you think looks good to you, flash it. Only way to find out.

This all comes down to personal preference so you'll have to go through and see what works for you, each ROM has pros/cons. I've tried 3 myself and I found that the Nocturnal SE 1.7 gives me a good speed boost and battery life, I'm getting about 22-28hrs total with ~3hrs screen time at 50% brightness.
Thanks guys, I know the rules of the forum very well.. the point of it was to see which one uses the least amount of ram and get some feedback at the same time. I was a HD2 owner for 2 years and was involved in the HD2 forums for as long as I have owned the phone.I just got the the HOX and wanted to get something on it quick..
I don't see a point of injecting every single rom into my phone just to find out which one uses the least amount of ram when I can start a thread and and find out that way and at the same time get some feedback..that is the whole point of a forum like this..to communicate with others that have similar devices and can help you out.. I've checked out the pages for almost every rom but I haven't seen one that clearly states how much ram it uses for example 341 MB/1000MB...
I use the Wcx illuminati series roms , they are screaming fast , stable , and they have a mod version and stock version .. and three kernels to choose from .

Doesn't care? Lol, that's harsh ... I know wild child personally and he's the only guy I know that is awake all hours , every day of the week making updates, tweaks, and roms. And never puts a Rom out that doesn't impress, the 10 post rule was put into place to get rid of those who just didn't want to contribute , 10 posts is a very small price to pay for the time and effort put into the work. You can get 10 just hitting the different forums and helping out , and post #2 usually has the change log. They are there I just checked.

I didn't really mean it like that, not trying to detract from the hard work that Wildchild puts in. I'm sure it's an awesome ROM and I'm sure he works very hard on it. I just can't find any information on it, even on his own site. After a fair amount of searching, I have no clue what features it has, what kind of tweaks have been made, if it's been themed at all, or just how it differs from the stock ROM. I have seen lots of people mention his ROMs and how awesome they are, so I'm quite curious and would love to check it out but no way am I flashing a ROM that I know quite literally nothing about.
Aokp by rohan32 is best vanilla rom out right now...not even close. That is if you don't mind having a non working video camera. It's extremely light (about 140 megs) and very fast when joined with nova launcher. It has mods out the ying Yang too.

Basically his regular ROM is a tweaked stock ROM and retains all of the stock look with a nice increase in speed. The modded ROMs he releases are more themed and stuff. And it will have a tweaks app built for his ROM that will allow all kinds of customizations. Kind of similar to what's in the xi40 ROM. I used his modded ROM on my Vivid and it was rock solid. I would definitely give it a try, they are very solid ROMs. I saw you posting over there earlier.

That would be cool. I'm honestly a fan of Sense Roms, but I dislike HTC a lot.
It may be easier than on the Galaxy nexus/NexusS due to the Qualcom CPU...

You can simulate the experience of running Sense with Beautiful Widgets, removing half your RAM and limiting your CPU to 600mhz. Just like running a phone with Sense!

We have kernels for AOSP and TW, they'd just need to pick on and modify it if they even need to. It comes down to how much they really want to port it.

I won't touch the S4 until it's been out a few months.
I'm done with buying brand new phones and flashing this or that AOSP port while all the kinks get worked out.
Better to stick with the S3 until ROM's & accessories are widely available for the S4.
Oh, but I WILL be going S4 as soon as that first killer AOSP ROM is finally bug free.
It took three months on the S3 for that to happen. Then it sucked again while everyone dumped the ICS AOSP before finishing adding all the extra super cool features, and instead started working on JB AOSP. Which took another three months to get all the features & bugs worked out.

Right.
Age has probably just caught up with me as I do not feel the urge to flash my phones anymore.
Even my good ol' international GS1 isn't up to par anymore even though I still use it almost every day.
It's lagging at leat 4 versions behind in both ROM and kernel lol
We might not even have to wait for a port. Look at the comments in that article, someone with a leaked 4.2 for i9300 (international GS3) shows a screenshot with "Smart Scroll"!
Worthiness: I worry about implementation. Facial recognition is nothing new; we've had that for decades. Retinal recognition (or pupil, I guess) sounds too new. And will it work everywhere? Do all apps have a "scroll" function? What about Flipboard and Currents, which are more like "next page" functions?

You're really missing out then. Some of the new 4.2.2 ROM's like CyanogenMod, LiquidSmooth and Vanilla Rootbox are pretty freakin incredible lately. All the good options are starting to go back into the AOSP ROM's now. And these are very reliable also.
I haven't had an SOD since 4.1.2.
I am looking foward to seeing this in action maybe i will spend less time cleaning my screen lol
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/06...ts-leak-confirm-smart-scroll-and-smart-pause/
It's not eye-scrolling. It's head-angle detecting. So, if you lean your head "down," it scrolls. And it can be adjusted per application (Chrome and GMail are two 3rd party apps listed with support).

Its deodexed and zipaligned so it feels just slighty faster then the actual stock 4.3 not to mention he's thrown a few tweaks in for centre clock and 4 way reboot. if you flash the 2 extra files.

Kangabean son! To be honest there are a lot of tw features I miss but that rom is so dam snappy. Zero lag. Once Paul O'Brien makes that dual boot app for the s4 I might consider tw again.

It is a bit bland, but I've gotten used to it. As much fun as it'd be to have all the bells and whistles of Cyanogenmod, PA, AOKP, and others, having a rock solid phone is just priceless. Everything works, and there are very rarely any random inexplicable issues. I use my Nexus 7 2013 for goofing around, so I still have something to be crackflashy with when I get in the mood.

I ran them on other phones, not here yet. But, once flashed they get boring quickly imho. I like the many features TW offers. Also read TiBu not working on 4.3. I'm not sure I can do without that. From a psychological standpoint anyway--
I still will try one at some point after they are a little more polished. Can't resist new roms--
Still on Wicked and waiting to see what evil does with that thread. There is a v6 in works. But, not sure it will appear on XDA. Hope so. I follow him on Twitter--
Usually there's an app comparable to whatever feature you're missing from the carrier version of Android or a mod if your phone is rooted.
Imo it's better that way to pick and choose what you want instead of a big ol block of bloat that you prob. only use 25% of and choke the CPU, memory and battery of your phone.

I've been using this one : 4.3 deodex
Its deodexed and zipaligned so it feels just slighty faster then the actual stock 4.3 not to mention he's thrown a few tweaks in for centre clock and 4 way reboot. if you flash the 2 extra files.

In my experience odex roms run faster than deodex.

I've never really noticed a difference. I have a feeling it's one of those things that really doesn't make a huge difference on high-end phones.
I've tried to download omega about 10 times and it's times out or just won't install. I've tried a GE3 rom and agree it's to basic for me. The camera and the amount of debloated TW roms keep me quite happy for now. Customizing is the whole point of android and open source.

I'm not impressed with GE edition ,it looks a lot like cyanogenmod 10.1/10.2
I've not been a fan of cyanogenmod since cyanogenmod 7 when I had my LG thrill 4g .sucks to bash cause I know cyanogenmod runs good,just plain.

It is a bit bland, but I've gotten used to it. As much fun as it'd be to have all the bells and whistles of Cyanogenmod, PA, AOKP, and others, having a rock solid phone is just priceless. Everything works, and there are very rarely any random inexplicable issues. I use my Nexus 7 2013 for goofing around, so I still have something to be crackflashy with when I get in the mood.

If everything works is your goal, then 4.2.2 is the best time for you.

I found that the battery life on these GE ROMs aren't that great. That's why I came back to TW, and for the Apps2SD support, as well as TW camera.
I was using the 4.2.2 GE I customized myself, and although it worked really good, I have an issue in at my house where I live on the fringe of LTE coverage and needed to switch it to HSPA only when home. On TW based ROMs you can just use the *#*#4636#*#* and go into Device Information and switch it to "WCDMA Preferred", which works great. Unfortunately that code doesn't work on the GE ROMs. If someone knows how to do get into that menu with a code that works on a GE ROM I would love to know.
So I went back to a MF3 ROM that I customized and debloated myself. It runs really good, but I would much rather be using a GE ROM.
What I like about the GE ROMs is that it is the way Google intended it to be, but I will agree that it can be a bit bland. But being that Android is highly customizable, you can change it to whatever you wish.
If anyone wants to check out my Debloat list for MF3, here is the thread I made.

I was trying to get rid of the majority of the Samsung crap and make it as close to GE as I could and still maintain the TW backbone.
I find Touchwiz to be slow. No matter what ROM I try or how tweaked the tom may be, its always slow. Every time I switch from a GE ROM to w TWrROM, I always find myself switching back to the GE ROM after a few days. You just can't beat the speed!

I ran them on other phones, not here yet. But, once flashed they get boring quickly imho. I like the many features TW offers. Also read TiBu not working on 4.3. I'm not sure I can do without that. From a psychological standpoint anyway--
I still will try one at some point after they are a little more polished. Can't resist new roms--
Still on Wicked and waiting to see what evil does with that thread. There is a v6 in works. But, not sure it will appear on XDA. Hope so. I follow him on Twitter--

If you use the updated SuperSu 1.51 zip (I believe 1.51 is the latest) then TiBu works. Used it on 4.3 slim bean yesterday
