Are Samsung stock ROMs normally zipaligned?
If not, why not? Just curious.

Isn't it apk files that are zipaligned?
Yes, but I guess that's what I'm asking. Doesn't the stock ROM contain them and are they zipaligned?
No otherwise the custom rom makers would not need to zipalign them would be my thoughts .

Hey guys. I just got my unlocked S2. After looking around I like the default apps and stuff. Kies Air is awesome too. If I flash do I lose those apps? Am an experienced user. And think yeah but dunno. Worth flashing a ROM? stock stuff is nice.

I have been thinking the same to!
Hello there. It depends on what you are flashing. There are two kinds of roms, those based on official sammy roms and ASOP roms (like cyanogen) which are clean and built from scratch. If you don't want to lose the other apps I recommend you flash a rom based on official sammy roms or just root because usually ASOP roms don't contain much and they can't use any sammy based programs/apks.

Well for some reason with this phone I like Samsung apps. So no ASOP this time. Weird. Well what are some good Samsung custom ROMs?

Yeah, I like them too. You could try:
Lite'ning Rom
Exynos Extreme
Criskelo Rom
I've tried these and they're good. Samsung goodness but faster and snappier. Enjoy flashing.
Basics are you root if you need root it does not make your phone go faster .
Custom roms may or may not wipe apps its all in the description of each rom .
Little performance difference between custom and stock rom .
jje
Root- It's a must imo.
A Custom ROM- Depends on how mad you are about them. I am not.
I agree just root with cfroot if you like the stock apps etc.
Personally I think KI8 is worth a look.

How to know which kernel is correct?
As of now I am using Sensation rom which has Siyah kernel 2.5.2 and I want to flash speedmod kernel or N.E.A.K. Kernel,
N.E.A.K. Kernel only supports sammy roms
I tried to search but I could not find out if Sensation rom is aosp or sammy do you have any idea of it?
also does speedmod kernel support both as nothing it written about it on its thread
Thanks

Normally on the first page of a rom thread you will get a description what is the rom. For example MIUI is well MIUI. Hyperdroid is sammy deodex rom with of course modifications and tweaks in the build to make it better than stock.
Sensation rom is sammy deodex no aosp nothing like that. And when you normally look for an AOSP rom it normally would say it in the heading of the thread anyway.
On the kernel thread it has a guide of what roms the kernel works on and which ones it does not. Siyah works basically with any rom. CM7 to AOSP to sammy deodex. Regarding Simone's kernel which is the NEAK version or something like that it is based on only sammy stock deodex roms and that is mainly the ones in original development and android..just look out for deodex, sammy and stock rom
AS above its all a question of reading the info on the first page of the kernel post .
Plus if it does not work flash another one .
the Neak kernel should be ok been on mine for a few days .
Speedmod likewise ok have used it before .

Thanks everyone for their wonderful help!
I have got one last question
Speedmod kernel says "it is only for Samsung Gingerbread ROMs. It will not work with CyanogenMod or MIUI ROMS!"
does this means it will not work with sensation rom?
Edit: ok looks like the different versions are just the updated ones
But still the question is if it supports sensation rom?

Now, if you look at the VERY FIRST page for SensatioN ROM,, it says:
SensatioN ROM Features:
-Based on Samsung Firmware XWKK5 Android 2.3.6
With all of this information, you should be able to deduce that the Speedmod kernel WILL work with your ROM. If you still don't understand, I'm going to suggest you don't flash anything to your phone, for fear of ending up with a paperweight.
Ok this time I understand everything
I didn't knew that Sammy roms means that the ROM is based on Samsung's stock ROM
Also I thought that speedmod only works on stock ROM so all this things got me confused
But anyways now its all clear

Do you mean you aren't rooted or anything? No possible way if that's the case AFAIK. You'll have to root then use that one I posted, you can make it look like either JB or ICS, there's two different downloads.
I often switch between different ROMs, then for me Siyah kernel is a good choice! But unfortunately, it doesn't support 4.2.X leaks. Then, when i want to boot a 4.2.X Samsung ROM, i'd like to simply flash a compatible .zip kernel, and not the whole ROM again! It's good even the stock one, but i can't find the .zip to flash it.. Can someone help me to find a working kernel??
Thanks in advance
There is NO custom kernel for the leaked 4.2.x at this moment as Samsung didn't drop out the source so no way to customize it

Ok.. But the stock kernel exists! Is there a .zip file to flash it?? (not a full ROM)
Thanks for your reply.

If I remember well, the kernel was posted as a flashable zip in the leak thread in general

Just reflash the full rom. It may be that the glamour kernel is repacked in a slightly modified state so the original leak kernel may not work. reflash the rom

Yes, i think the same thing. But it'd be very faster and useful to flash only kernel, and not the whole ROM.. Peace, i'll make a reason for that!
Anyway, thanks everybody!!
It takes 1 minute to flash a rom.
