to all the folks here, respond to this message with your current rom, how long you have been on it, your battery life, over all performance and what do you think about the ROM. if you are rooted, what custom kernel did you use. i think if we do something like this on a regular basis, like every 100th page, it will be easy for everyone to get updated on the latest/best roms and it will be easy for new people to choose a good custom/stock rom.

Stock rooted
Android Version : 2.3.5
Firmware : XWKJ3
Batter Life 20-24hrs
Usage 3g/wifi on always
kERNEL : SpeedMod K2-18-test6

Thanks for everyone for helping out each other and making this thread successful

1\ Can we flash speedmod kernel over CM 7? Is it possible?

2\ How do I remove Yellow Tri-Angle? Can anyone let me know any simple ways to do this?

3\ Speedmod or Siyah kernel? Which one is the best in terms of battery life & performance? (based on your experience?)

I've played with undervolting on my x10 and SGS-II and I'm surprised Speedmod is getting good battery life without UV. Just wanted to ask opinions regarding this.

Thanks!

1- NO.
2- Flash Stock kernel and then zImage of your Root kernel via CWM.
3- SpeedMod. IMO.

Just open the app and you can see a dropdown and go to "wakelocks" and you can see apps that wakeup your phone :D

@ Neo

Read this below article and you will get the clear idea on how to remove the yellow triangle

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193091

You don't need to flash the whole tar file, just extract the zimage using root explorer or some other app, then use cwm app to flash it.

Yep. I used odin. Thanks for the clarification :D

Yep. I think i pretty much figured it out.Already in the process.

use k-tool to backup the current zimage. using odin to flash stock. and will restore the z-image :D

thanks for the help btw!

-[Job done]-

Now wiping off everything. Damn 250 apps and my phone started to lag a bit with Cog 1.6.1+speedmod.

I think i'll try CM7+ siyah this time and see how it works :)

Hey every one, had rooted phone yesterday to see whats the benefit of the custom rom. I honestly did not find much change from the stock rom, i'm kinda new to sg2 but back in dhd we had kernels built in to roms and pretty much you could distinguish between each one easily,that does not seem to be the case here :D.

So i was wondering if we could have a poll or if every one could point out the best things they found on the roms they are currently on :D

For starters i tried the sensation rom and andromeda.

Of them i like sensation for its customisation but looked like it was heavy on the battery and for andromeda i got confused on all the surgeon thingy :p

So i said before i did not see much difference hence went back to stock 2.3.5 ( European firmware :D).

What say my fellow contry men which rom do you guys use :D

I just don't understand how you people are getting 2 days of battery life? I can hardly make it to 1 day.

    Absolutely. We cannot constantly monitor or deal with the childishness that goes on in this thread. We gave you several opportunities. Thread closed.

    Hey guys...

    Had pre-ordered at letsbuy.com earlier and paid in full a couple of days back. Just got an e-mail from them informing that my order has been shipped via Aramex, along with the tracking number... and so the countdown begins :D !!

    I'm sure there are several members in the same boat as me, and other's who are waiting for the GS2 to show up in stores to pick it up. The thought behind this thread is to have a central repository for all the views & reviews about the phone and share any other info as well.

    Looking forward to hearing from all owners about their experience and posting my own in a couple of days as well!

    Cheers!
