Hey everyone
So before you chop my head off (See title above)
Yes i know there are overclock kernals and themes available and its not that i havnt seen that
But what i do want to know is
A. can you theme just any rom? with jut any theme?
B. I have never flashed a kernel i just flashed my first 3 roms yesterday so as you can see im new to this but one of the roms i flashed was overclocked @ 1.1ghz so i would like to overclock to 1.2 using the faux kernel as this is the only one i trust.
Any answers are accepted
and once again please dont chew me like gum
Im new
thanks in advance
-heyhey24
ok now i just need to know about the themes as i contacted my friend and suprisingly he knew the answer
Sorry for wasting anyones time
Is you pone unlocked? Do you have clockwork recovery? Is it AT&T? International? There is a lot more involved then you think. I came from the iphone scene which was childs play compared to Android.
Look in the developers section. That and google.
For now, see if this makes any sense :

One here the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182545
And placing a theme over a rom
The ROM thread will specify what build it is (4.5.91 or FR, etc). The theme thread will specify what build(s) it is compatible with. If the theme is compatible with your ROM's build, just flash according to the theme's instructions (likely CWM).
Atrix themes are atrix themes, but you have to have the right build.
Good luck,

Hey guys. I am kinda overwhelmed by the number of ROMs and kernals around. I saw modems too but dunno what they are. Heres my info:
Baseband:I9100DDKE4
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 [email protected] #2
Hope thats alls needed. I wanna try our MIUI. But I saw stuff like bluetooth isnt working there. I dont wanna lose any functionality. Is CyanogenMod my best bet? Are there any other good stable mods I should check out? And whats a good Kernal? Which wont affect battery performance.
Thanks for your time if you reply.

1. Modems are the drivers for the mobile connections if you flash a newer one it can improve your network speed but it really depends were you live etc so it different for every person.
2. If you're a beginner with flashing I wouldn't start with any AOSP ROMs like Cyanogen or MIUI.
3. I would recommend Villain ROM for the beginning. It's clean and basic and it comes with Nimphetamine Kernel. Also the guys there are really nice and like to help if you have some problems.
Hello there OP!
If you want a completely different Android experience, go for the CyanogenMod 7.1 release candidate. Bluetooth and other important stuffs are working, read the thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297557
If you want a very stable ROM with bloatware removed, I recommend you Cognition 1.5.1. The developer only uses official firmware releases, not leaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124396
Though before you do all these you do need to have your phone rooted first!

i know mate i been there so i know how it feels wanting to ask these questions...but you have some ideas from myself and other people as well so do your reading and choose the one you want..to be honest if i was you id flash a few before deciding which one to stay with..each thread of the roms that i have used everyone is friendly and everyone is helpful so you should be fine...anything you ever need hit me a message and i see if i can help ya
Thanks you everyone. I was just being lazy. Chose Lite'ning Rom and SiyahKernal2.0. Both should play well right? Will I need to recong. all apps?
Loads of roms available but I'd recommend a rom based of 2.3.5 improvements are better than earlier releases.
Then you can choose from the various kernels and modems to customise.
Once you get the hang of flashing and such you can try out others like cm7, which itself works pretty good now and offers a complete aosp experience.
Touchwiz roms are polished though and work very well. By going to CM7 and such you will lose some stock functionalities such as the good camera app, better stock email, and other bits and bobs.

i think LeoMar75 Revolution Rom v2.7.1 and SpeedMod t41 kernel is the best choice.
battery friendly and really fast!!
no lag in SPB Shell 3D launcher and other apps. also revolution rom is really customised!
(my english is not good as i come from Hong Kong)
GingerMod 0.6. Based on 2.3.5.
Fast. Using Siyah kernel with it. Amazing battery life, amazing benchmark scores.

Have you ever recognized the search feature of XDA developers forum?
If not, just try it.
And will see that it works fine ... with all of your keywords you just listed in your post.
I just had a look into the "Galaxy S II Original Android Development" forum and found:
cm7 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112916
... and many many custom kernels (Hellcat's, Siyah, SpeedMod, CF-Root, etc.)
And for Themes, there is an own forum => http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1059
Sorry mate, but you have to take some time and search what you want to install by yourself.
Good luck !

Sir, you can change wallpaper by long tapping on home sceen, a menu will pop up , select wallpapers or gallery based on where your desired wallpaper is. I didn't get the colour stuff? If you mean that you want to change the ROM's colour then you cannot do that through a wallpaer, you need to download a theme which has the desired colors and apply the theme via Theme Manager
And yes, you can also change the wallpaper via settings menu

in my opinion. now is the best and setabil is "TheMyth ICS - Lite"
this one is great CRe.ActiveX RC1 Barebones Based on CM7.1 Grif_07 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414779
Hi,
I tried almost all ROMs in the development pages but I like the best ICS final with SlainModFast v2.5 with the new kernel(blackhawk - ketut). I had no reboots, no freezes no problems. I also run the JuiceDefender on balanced and improves the battery life. And I like the ADW launcher that is included in the ROM.(tried GO, Launcher Pro and some others).
I am a big fan of Grif's CM7 and Ketut's oc kernel... those guys deserves monies!
need kernel with vpn support Android 2.3.5
Hey guys,
flashed today the ace to the Android 2.3.5 via odin.
have now these figures:
Android 2.3.5
Basisband S5830xwks2
Kernel [email protected]#1
gingerbread.xwks2
have read in this forum that per default in samsung's kernel there is no vpn support compiled in so that that i am not able to use vpnc to connect to company's vpn (cisco based).
maybe an option is to update to Android 2.3.6 stock rom, but i think same sh** no vpn support compiled in...
Need a 2.6.35.7 Kernel with additional vpn support nothing more like overclocking etc. Which kernel are you recommended and how do i update only the kernel via odin, too???
many thanks for your replies.

Hi everyone
I tried to search forum but i dunno if there exits already this thread but i will explain here my details
I have samsung galaxy s2 at&t sgh-i777 cyanogen mod 7
The problem is when i receiv as gift from my father (he did buy at china) the phone wasnt original stock but prolly the china did flash cm7 and some kernel and govern (i think maybe is active for now ondemand if i can understand).
But i cant know which kernel is current using? how i can to see this info?
Searching forum many use AOKP, Fluxxi, Shostock and so on but my phone how i could know which one is using this kernel at moment? is there an app that i can see all system there? I tried using with Z device test but the information android OS is not enough.
I have to flash cm9 soon but first i must know all the info before to start this.
For modems is easy to see i have to tap on info about device that ok...but i need a full information so will help me a lot.
Thank for support
Ummmm.... How about go to settings, scroll down and touch "about phone" then look under "Kernel version"

Ya thought that but is just number not name kernel if that help lol
How i would figured it?
kernel current anyway is 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#1
If was a kernel for CM7 ok but using Fluxxi for example what is then? is based still cyanogen? or Fluxxi is just a name rom?
This give me a bit confuse..
I saw some topic talking about kernel for siyah but i still dont understand if was for cmw or is just a kernel different way to work with this phone.
For this i need understand what he did chinese update my phone and what current kernel..
EDIT= i found on site for AT&T http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2ATT/kernels
So this mean there are only 3 kernels compatible on this SGH-I777 isnt?
If that so then i have to know which one of this 3 kernels is current on my phone hmmm someone could give me a hint please?
you are using the kernel that COMES PACKAGED WITH CM7
i dont know why you would go to some other website looking for info, when all you have to do is open up the dev section here and READ.
there are more than 3 kernels available to you, but not many options if you are staying on CM7. if you are staying on CM7, just leave the kernel alone...
you dont really need to know anything more about what you currently have on your phone, because its simple. you are running CM7 with the kernel that was packaged with the rom. any rom you flash will have a kernel with it...
you see kernel names and are confused, i get that, but if you open the dev section and read, you will see threads marked as [KERNEL] or [ROM]....pretty simple to distinguish the 2.
for CWM, with Samsung devices, all custom kernels have cwM packaged in them, you dont need to do anything else but flash the rom after following the instructions in the first post on the rom thread.

Take a snapshot of your "About phones" before and after flashing any custom ROM and you see the difference.
For more kernel detail, bring up "CPU Spy" and take a snapshot before and after, and compare.
"CPU Spy" is an app.

all roms come packaged with a kernel so as long as you have CWM (you do because you are on CM7), then you can flash to CM9 without thinking about changing any kernels.

I didn't understand any of this lol. But are u trying to say an app developer told u that an app isn't compatible with your phone because of a custom ROM? If so that's crazy. And shouldn't affect anything. Normally when an app says its incompatible its because u changed the dpi. If u didn't, I would try clearing the data on Google framework and Google playstore.

Yes. There are threads on both. Do a Google search for clearing google framework and do one for clearing playstore data. If u don't know what DPI is u probably didn't change it. DPI is the resolution size for the display on the phone. (How big or small things look on the phone) Stock DPI is 240 for our phones.

My idea is install a good mod and install tons of apps and games with no problems.. thanks in advance and please sory my english i'm argentinian.. .
Omega 100% stable and the developer indie doesn't stop. Always updated to the latest firmware. Also a lot of theme support on the thread. Check out motomoto theme its a beauty.

eclair, froyo, ics, etc are versions.
cm, darky, criskelo, omega are all roms that are modded. mods on the other hand are specific changes that do not include the whole rom with it. it depends on having a rom as a base to install onto.
stuff like removing charging notifications or add camera functionality are mods. the ability to add any app to multi Window is a mod, but cm, darky, omega etc are ROMs. they're completely independant and does not require a flashing of another rom as a base.
and yes, you are asking for what the best rom is. the fact is, you'll have to just try different roms and see which one suites your need. check the all in one sticky thread for a link to another thread that categorizes roms based on what concept of android they're going for (stock, aosp, aokp, sense, etc etc).
all of these roms are very well documented and they explain what their rom was built for.
