Galaxy s2 gt-i9100 rooting etc

I'm on LPI and am very happy with it. To be honest, that, or LPG are excellent.
UHLPS is quite popular, but I'm still of the thinking that it is just an Argentinian rebranded version of XXLPS that was released back in March. My advice is LPI or even LPG. You wont go far wrong with either.

Looking through the Neat thread, there seem to be more issues with LPS compared with LPG/LPI, but mostly theme related. Personally, I would never install a themed ROM as I prefer stock too much, and I would theme it later if I ever felt the urge to do so.

As for differences, they are negligible. UHLPS has a contact tab in the dialer by default (but this can be installed later onto any of the other versions). There may be the odd subtle difference here and there between the different versions, but nothing to write home about.

Ok cheers hawker, i was only worried if I had to match up with my device etc, that's great thankyou!

Just a quickie before I flash new ROM, when my device was not rooted I was using spb shell 3d, still on it now got loads of little bits of info & notes stored in parts of it... I'd use a home switcher to go back to standard launcher..
My question is, when I flash to a new ROM will I completely loose spb shell & all its settings? If so I'll copy out all the bits of info as they are work related & important.

Cheers in advance!

Take a Titanium Backup before you wipe+flash your new ROM, then and after you have flashed your new rom, restore SPB shell app+data.

Ok, so i've flashed to NEAT ROM Lite XWLPI thankyou guys for the help, now if I want to Mod anything for example the battery icon.. as I have read threads and seen the links for these mods, Do I flash them, or are these mods applied in a different manner.

Also with Neat rom lite should some of the stock apps not be there, for instance social hub, and samsung hub, these things ive never used & didnt expect them to be installed with the lite version, or am i way off mark.. ?

Thanks in advance!!
