Hi everybody.
There are five main CM11 (CyanogenMod 11) roms for the Samsung Galaxy S2:
Carbon Rom (Myself5)
CyanFox (Christiancs1969)
Wayland_ACE's ROM (Wayland_ACE)
Pound ROM (lion0738)
infected_'s ROM (infected_)
This thread is to talk about own experiences with this roms.
What's OK and/or what's wrong. What recommend you and why.
Regards.
P.S:
The poll is outdated. I considered remove it, but I can't do it. I also considered move the thread to Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
If anyone think this thread causes conflicts, be free to report it to moderators. I apologize. :angel:
I tried pound rom it has many features including halo but now im on slimkat due to working art, carbon rom also have a working art and I think it has cm11 as base rom.
I dont think thats a good idea to make a thread like this especialy title"a vs b vs c vs d" this thread is more likely to be whats the best 4.4 rom

You're right. I changed it.
Thanks. :good:
I don't undestand one thing, infected ROM and Wayland_ACE ROM, both are based on Cyanogenmod 11 ( AOSP ) right? So why is Infected' running ART for about 2 weeks and Wayland_Ace not?
And another thing, Infected ROM is based on Cyanogenmod 11, so why Cyanogenmoed did not add CM11 to Nightly downloads (I mean they are still working on 10.2 but no one is interested in 4.3.1 anymore, because there is 4.4.2 out there, In my opinion is a waste of time and energy)
I will kindly thank you for your answer.
Best rom? Dude best rom or awesome rom threads are not allowed in xda.. I don't know the mods are still silent... Everybody's taste is different... More over all the roms u comparing are completely different.. Though all cm11

I've been using Cyan-Fox for about a week now. Good battery life and features. Really like it so far.
I've been using Pound rom since it was out and updated with every new version, it's really stable and has nice features. I had a battery drain issue at first but then realized mediascannerservice wakelock was the problem... So I just blocked it with the wakelock blocker setting and Voila! I'm also very tempted by Slim kat, the JB slim roms are great and the fastest I tried before going to Pound rom.
Just wondering if anyone here can tell me if any of the above roms support multi-user in the 'settings' screen. I have kids and I'm really looking to pseudo-corner off my phone (I know the limitations). I'm having real trouble with some of the roms.. and wondering if anyone else has tried/successfully got it working?

For certain multiuser will NEVER make it into the standard CM tree for non-tablet devices now that they are a for-profit.
Add CarbonROM by myself5 to the list

I'm on Wayland_ACE's CM11 and all of my issues are with 4.4 at large, not the ROM in particular barring one: is anyone else having issues with flac playback? Apollo & CM11 are choking on files that Apollo & CM10.2 had no problems with.
I'd be curious to hear back from anyone on any of the other CM11 base roms in particular.
try slimkat sabermod by fJ under settings -> advance option -> device -> screen

1. Everyone has a different opinion, and thankfully we already have many options to choose from.
2. Too early to tell but the dev work so far has been really amazing. Partly due to Samsung and their brilliant approach to custom Roms (basically encouraging it) and our wonderful Rom chefs who (with the help of many others) are doing an incredible job.
Just start going down the list and try them one at a time... some (if not most) you won't even have to wipe your phone to try.
Welcome to the SGSII world.

So with leaving Eybee and closing of Rocket Rom all of us Rocket Rom lovers will be orphaned !

Yes, lots. Let's all get over Eybee and move on...

I always dual boot with Paranoid Android. Perhaps I will switch rocket rom to stock touchwiz when samsung release it.
I also agree that lots of roms are better than rocket rom ... one of the big problems of rr was its bad battery life

can you suggest one of the best you use ?
It depends on your preferences, some of the users like aosp based, cm based or tw based.. you have to try it by yourself for you to know..
IMO, theres a lot of roms good roms out there, Im not a fan of RR but eybee is really a big loss to our community

Try Alliance Rom

Agree... Try Alliance, The Rom look like AOSP but feature touchwiz
its perfect for me.. The OTA's mod does not make me bored with this ROM
what eyebee did with the leaks was stupendous, i mean there was a huge energy vortex created in the forum, whew !
that kind of energy is rarely even created by stock sammy releases...i like those too...rooting with Philz kernel and a few mods Dr Ketan style
mini tab v3 sounds promising....
i collected rr v 12 ics after many spoke highly of it, i was scared the links would go down .....
Trying Alliance Rom beta 1 (4.1.2 LS7 based)
Let´s see if I like it... Let´s see if it will be as good as RR...
When I heard the news yesterday about eybee leaving and that there would be no RRv3 I was gutted, I ended up flashing TMT 5.0 XXLS7 JB.... I must say, Its excellent and so is the Dev, I used his TW / MIUI version a while back and there was a lot of support and regular fixes / updates.
So, Thats definitely one to look out for, That being said, Now RRv3 is out... Im gonna have to flash it
Best way is to spend some time testing them all, Have a good read of the thread(s) and see whats what. There will be other fantastic ROMs out there.
And whats to say when the dust has settled in a few days / weeks, that eybee wont come back and continue development ??
Never say never guys.
I know why eyebee left. Its because all the tons of thanks and appreciation eyebee received from all the users. Eyebee wanted to retire at his prime like what most celebs and sportsmen do but i think eyebee is the type of person who will always create better things. I dont think its his prime. I wanted him to make his own launcher a distinct one flashable yo even the rooted stock rom. He could have changed the way android is used. But he left. The other possible reason could be the note 2 or the lg nexus . I think eyebee got his hands on the new device or maybe google drained the talent from our community making him their official member.

Thanks for all your helps !
I will try them !!
Alliance ROM ist pretty sweet for me !
Good Battery, very smooth, OTA Updates.
I Think i stay on Alliance until the next major release / real leak from Samsung
I choose aliance Rom. For now I'm thinking it might just be at least as good as RR.
About eybee... I woudn't , be suprised if suddenly some new forum member would join us and be awesome dev
Everytime i flash new release stock rom i will get bored in 2 days. I always revert back to paranoid cm10. I love the mixture between tablet style, multi dpi, and cobalt theme.

Coming from RR, I've tried all the major ROM's based on LS7 leak... And the one that I prefer is Ultimate N7000 XXLS7 JellyBean 4.1.2 v4.
Trying Alliance Rom beta 1 (4.1.2 LS7 based) - Result:
tested Alliance Rom for more than a week. Not so smooth. Slow Split screen multitasking (already expected that). Battery problems: partial wakelocks with audio_out2, mediaservice and map apps.
Will switch to rocketRom JB v3 and keep searching.

Switching over to TWRP I'm ready for a 4.2.2 ROM - I'm definitely interested in AOKP, but I was curious about this 'Orion' I see listed in people's tags. I can't seem to find anything with that name, and I noticed a few AOKP's, so a little confused. Is this the Orion ROM?

Orion was on Droidrzr.com, but the dev has stopped supporting it so he could focus on Slim. You still might be able to DL it, but don't expect updates. The one you linked is good and gets updated, go ahead and use it. I might also suggest SlimBean and BeanStalk, but AOKP gave me the best battery. I just like the options in the others.

right.
the dev of the AOKP ROM you link (Tim) is excellent, and has done a tremendous amount of work for our community. however, the key difference between Orion AOKP and this AOKP is that the ORION version has some additional tweaks that improve battery life (in addition to aesthetics).
otherwise, you really cannot go wrong with either.
Would anyone have a link? I'd really love to A/B them. Plus I'm getting FC's with Tim's ROM after its finally installed following two previous failed attempts.

Hello guys. I seen the new MIUI custom rom, which is very beautiful & full of modification along with numerous tweaks. I wonder all MIUI fan would love it. But this rom is presently developed only for sony Xperia S/SL but the developer assured me to make this one for our galaxy S3 too. But he need testers. So if anyone interested to enjoy this MIUI rom then please come & be the tester for our galaxy s3. So that he can start the new build for galaxy s3. Thanx in advance. Come soon
If most of you are ready to test this build then Required the following points by Dev....
How many you are presently porting ROMs for S3?
Which versions do you port?
Which the base and the port ROM that you opted for?
What are the Major Bugs in each of your versions?
What are the Major Bugs in your Official Release?
What are the Features that can still be improved?
Which are the Features that are Missing and Should be there?
How long would it take you to give me a very detailed testing report If I send you an experimental build?
Anything Else you would like to suggest or mention?
Anything else I should be aware of before starting working on it?
I want detailed answers on all these questions not just from you but from other users of your device who want me to start making ROMs for them. I hope you got the point what I am really trying to know here, As I don't have the device the only thing I could rely upon would be my testers.

To be honest with the multi variant roms user experiences vary greatly...its even true with device specific builds. Asking the general public isn't always the best idea...based on things like you don't know if they had a clean install, do they have a custom kernel are they using xposed or other root tools/apps etc. Best advice I can give you is read the falcon cmx change logs and keep an eye on commits and merges.
