Guest jusumgeezer Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 As soon as I got this phone home I rooted & installed Modaco Custom Rom. After a while I tried a few of the ones from XDA including MIUI & VillianRom & a few others I can't remember, however after a about 10 mins or so I always restore my MCR backup. Strange really as I always preferred the vanilla experience & never liked the look of the touchwiz UI before. Maybe once this phone has been put a bit longer & has more ROMs then I will try again, but for now it's MCR all the way for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest barbarony62 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) wow, wat launcher r u using there? Adw? how did u get the different icons? :o [/quote go launcher ex..... allows you to easliy change icons to anything you want.... downloaded a bunch of icons I like, and there you go.... with GL-EX you just long click an icon, and yu can change it to anything you download to your phone (and place anywhere...)

Guest enterusername Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 don't like the calendar program with cyanogen rom. Samsung has some good Apps like a specialize camera. That's why I like modacocustomrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mixy Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I am currently on Cognition 1.5.1, works like a charm. Ive tested alot of ROMs, and my favorite is Oxygen (get it at forum.oxygen.im), clean AOSP build. Only problem for me is no video out, so i am waiting for that to be supported, definately going back. With my desire i always went back and forth between AOSP MCR and Oxygen, both are great ROMs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest barbarony62 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 How do i install Cynogen mod, via CWM? it crashes on the boot. copied from XDA: go to the sgsII forum on "forum dot xda-developers dot com" (replace "dot" with ".") Easy way: Start with a rooted device (do not ask us how to do this).Install ROMManager Premium.Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Samsung Galaxy S2.Make sure you can reboot into ClockworkMod recovery from ROMManager. Reboot and get back into ROMManager Premium.Choose download ROMs.Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.Check the Google Apps addon.Check Backup current ROM!Check wipe data, cache, dalvik cache. (We're not kidding! Wipe)Let ROMManager finish the installation. Harder way: Make sure you're running a rooted device.Root your device and install ClockworkMod RecoveryDo a Nandroid backup!WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod RecoveryOptionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adam:) Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 has anyone tried alienware rom? looks quitte cool :) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaxiP Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Looked at Alienware briefly but didn't like the look of it when I flashed it. I've been running SensatioN 1.6 since pretty much 5 mins after rooting and I really like it. Other ROM I did like is LeoMar75 Revolution as very customisable but I found it slightly slower & more battery drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
