i'm currently in jelly bean 4.1.2 since the 4.2.2 update was offering me poor battery and stability .though the jelly bean version 4.1.2 was satisfactory in terms of performance ,the camera was awful therefore i'm looking for a custom ROM .so which to go ?i want the best battery life ,good camera and less bugs as possible. also if i need to install the AOSP ROM do i need to flash a custom kernel like cm 11 and if i need to which kernel is best as of now?
CM11 doesn't have good camera.Ok,the photo camera may be a little better,but only a little.Video camera lags a lot in normal to low light & low light of course,you'll have some graphics bugs.About the performance is about the same.However,I felt like the phone gets a lot hotter on CM11 ( and i DIDN'T overclocked more than 1.2 Ghz).I recommend you to go to stock,wipe everything(including system&boot) and flash Parralax ROM v1/v3(V3 has more beautiful themes) and then flash Vengeance r1 kernel.Use the Wi-Fi fix ( there is a thread right now in General section about how to fix it ) and remove all the bloatwares,disable all the notifications,auto-sync stuff.After this,install Greenify and select all apps that might wake your phone up(like messenger,facebook,gmail,whatsapp and so on) and I guarantee you'll have at least 2 days of battery backup at normal usage.All the best !

My Gf has bought a Tab 2 7.0 P3100..i have a i9000,so i'm not new in the flashing stuff..but my gf doesn't know anything about this,which is not surprising given the fact that she's a girl ..the stock rom feels laggy,a lot laggy to her..she saw my GS1 on ICS,it was fast,and she wants something like that in her tab..now if i put a custom rom in her tab,and she runs into some issues, i'm gone, i mean she would chop me into pieces before listening that it can be fixed :crying:..so if anyone could recommend me a faster,most stable rom(ICS or JB) for the P3100,i would be grateful to him for rest of my life ..it can be cm9,cm10,aokp, i just need a stable fast rom..
many good comments about aokp build 4, get her lots of good apps and widgets to customise it with,
i was a girl too
Stock ROM & AOKP are the best !
both CM9 & CM10 has bugs on it, it's really annoying
Stock ROM lags only on portrait mode, but landscape mode is fast.... you can trace the bug by using logcat, it's about the device failed to write file while in portrait mode

Hello.
I'm flashing my wife's ChaCha with different ROMs and I was wondering if there is something better than Stock based ROMs.
I value most battery life, second memory space (have the SD card partitioned and using Link2SD right now). Don't need HTC Sense or any other bloatware.
I just need the camera to take pictures, so I can sacrifice the front camera too...
So, what ROM do you guys recommend me to try to have the BEST battery life?
- Stock based (like Hegoxen
- CM7
- SuperOSR 2.5
- CM9
- CM10

I was having problems with the DIALER draining the battery, so yesterday I flashed SuperOSR (CM7.2 based) and so far drainage issues seem to have stoped.
Will post again in a couple of days with the results.

I'm using Hexgore's rom, based on stock rom and i'ts the best for daily use, i recommend it for you ...
i think best is stock rom, one programmer can do with theme & new statusbar stock rom its perfect happened
ajeevlal's CM10 is actually great! and it's getting even better!
if ur wife is a Stick-to-Stock person noo never change it u'll never find a better rom
if u want speed, extra storage with INT2EXT+ just DO it and change to CM10 ajeevlal's is a great ROM! and i'm personaly working with him to make it even better
as you know, no front camera, sometimes bluetooth issues, other than that, u've got a wonderful CM10!
Forget
Forget all what you heared and try ajeevel CM10.1 Rom it has everything you can imagine

you can use cm 10.0(android 4.1.2) pure galaxy rom, its the best in jellybean without any bugs(wifi tether,camcorder problem), or you can use speedmod which is based on kitkat 4.4.2.(wiffi hotspot and camcorder bug), kitkat is more fast :silly:

it is mentioned, that camera is buggy as in any other android 4.0+ rom on our device
ya camera will be slow it takes about 5 sec for a click and the battery thing, battery backup will be less as compared to gingerbread, but its actually not of great importance as phone performance is highly improved check out the rom threads and get assured
I recommend running the Speedmod KK by GiuGiu19 i have found it to be very user friendly and havn't found to many bugs bar the ones you are previously told about. The battery on the other hand i feel gives me way more use then when i was running Stock ROM GB, i recommend changing but the choice of which ROM you use is your choice download them both and have a play around then pick which is built better to suit you.
Thank me if i helped, just a click away :silly:
Thanks @Jaspersdream28,
but you didn't tell me what are these few bugs you are facing with SM KK ??????
sorry for my disturbance and thanks at all
@all,
anyone else have another experience ???????
Thanks in advance
I posted this in the q and a thread on this ROM some are possibly the apps others are because of the ROM
1. I cannot sync contacts into my contact list for example my Facebook can't sync, the account is added in the settings but nothing appears in my contacts list no one is added.
2. When I use "File Commander" the default file manager I can access the my external SD card but it is read only. I can open things on it etc but I cannot move anything onto it without going on my PC.
You can make the external SD the primary one but still this isn't because of this ROM its kitkat in general
3. "Now Launcher" (Browser) doesn't load pages properly. I know this is probably the app but is it possible its because the ROM doesn't come preinstalled with Adobe flash player?
4. Sometimes the messenger keyboard doesn't go away after I reply to a message through the notification bar I have to press back for it to go away.

I use Speedmod 2.2.1 (Based on KK 4.4.2) it has no major bugs :good: (camrecorder and wi-fi bug is FIXED by russian developer, I don't remember his nickname, like Vergiliy or smth like this). Works much faster than stock rom or CM 10.2 and older.

I am looking for a custom ROM for my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (GT-I9105P) which is faster than the stock ROM.
I installed Liquidsmooth 3.0 and tested the speed and its working perfectly now. Its based on Android version 4.4.3. But the camera app is actually really bad; the pictures are always blurry. I guess something is wrong with the focus, because it works fine with the original 4.2.2 Samsung Camera App. I found out that I can't restore the app because Liquidsmooth (Andoid 4.4.3) doesn't support Touchwiz Apps.
Even the apps from the PlayStore are not as good as the old SamsungCamera App.
So here's my question: Is there a fast custom ROM (preferred a popular like LiquidSmooth) which is baised on 4.2.2? Or are there others who have also problems with blurry pictures in 4.4.3 and have a fix?
CWM 10.1.3 has a lot of bugs, like no vibration, so I don't want this ROM. LiquidSmooth 2.3 is baised on Andoird 4.2.2 but there is no Download Link for the SGS II Plus / doesn't supported? Or does the Phone model even matter?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!

Try lollipop rom... In my opinion has much better camera than kitkat. The only iconvenience is that still don't have the option to sd and don't have pause on camcorder yet

But isn't cwm a Rom created for more personalizing and not for increasing speed? I am worried that it's still slow or is it the speed compared to liquidsmooth?
Lollipop ROM runs on ART runtime, it's much more effective than Dalvik-based.
So far 2 weeks of use no lag at all, back when I was using Paranoid Android 4.6 or CM11 M12, there were some lag sometimes.
Battery life is more awesome than before. In previous ROMs, I don't use GPS and ended up like 30% battery by the end of the day.
With Lollipop, I use GPS 24/7 and ended up 30% battery by the end of the day too.

There is liquid smooth 3.2 (4.4.4) fyi,. you could try the new google camera from the play store. There are other kitkat roms that are also excellent(sprit,axxion,PAC,PA) should you think Lolipop is too buggy, but you cannot installed touchwiz apps on a custom rom, regardless of android version.
