Yesterday I wrote a post where I listed some of the best custom
ROMs for the HTC One X. Being
an open source OS for mobile devices, Android open for you new vistas
when it come to the customization aspect. No other OS in the world gives
you so much choices for
custom ROMs
on your mobile phone. This is the beauty of beloved Android. At one
hand, this variety is a boon, but on the other it is also puzzling and
so many of us get confused when trying to choose a good ROM for
our Android phone.
The
Samsung Galaxy S2
is one of the most powerful phones out there. Millions of people own it
and this popularity attracts Android developers’ and prompts them to
develop more
ROMs and apps for this giant device. This article aims at saving your precious time and providing a shortlist of some of the best ROMs that can enrich your experience with your Galaxy S II.
One might ask: “Why should I install a custom ROM?” The answer goes like this: Most stock ROMs
are made with a view to addressing some ideal features that depends on a
balance between battery life and performance. They are also stuffed
with so many apps (bloatwares) that are mostly of not much use to
an average user and make the device slower. Using the same stock ROM on
our device for a longer time, we get bored of it. This is where the
search for a good custom ROM begins. Installing a custom ROM might solve
this issue very easily. You get a variation, features of an upgraded
version of the OS that are not often officially available for the phone,
better battery life, smoother UI experience, faster performance and
what not.
