Cyanogenmod 9 (CM9) based ROMS are prety good, but they can become unstable, the best option it's to wait for a stable official release. I've a Galaxy Tab 10.1 still waiting for ICS.

Hmm, I remember flashing my sgs2 the day after the kernels n such were released. Mine is an international version though. Do have a look around at the site RaptorHunter mentioned, you might find what you're looking for.

the current cyanogenmod 9 nightlies are very stable...I use them on my galaxy s and have yet to encounter a problem.

I'm currently using Slim ICS on my Galaxy S2 and I'm loving it. It has been fast and very stable.

i'm using this alliance rom (previously from Darky Rom)

Code: Select All

http://www.alliance-rom.com

minimal modding, so its very stable and very lite (without samsung bloatware) you can install back the samsung apps if you want also. dont have a single problem so far. but do see the comments before you flash so you know what to expect if theres an error.

i like how they push updates using their OTA app, meaning if theres a bug, it can be updated on the go.

you can also customise your ICE via their OTA
