There are many custom ROMs in XDA but i like Super Nexus ROM. I started using this ROM since its 4.0.4 build and i am really satisfied with it. In my Galaxy S2 ,now i am using Super Nexus 2.0 build 3. Its really smooth. Thanks to Faryaab for making this amazing ROM.
Super Nexus 2.0 gives vanilla android experience like Googles nexus devices. The ROM is entirely built from Googles AOSP Source with lot of improvements and optimizations and removed all the third party apps(ZERO Bloatware).
Update:
I was using XWLS8 4.1.2 now again switched back to Super Nexus 2.0. Now its on Android 4.2.2 the latest one recently started giving to Nexus device only.
