OK... Rooted my GS2 with CF-Root v5.0, flashed to CheckromRevoHD v4 and installed mods etc.
However, still can't connect any bluetooth gamepads (Wiimote/Sixaxis)? I can only assume I'm still using the Samsung Bluetooth driver?
Please could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
*Edit* Flashed kernel to DarkKnight 2.4.3 but it still says "no route to host" when I try to connect a Wiimote?

Anyone? I know it can be done. It's just I'm not sure which ROM/Kernel is needed??
I would have thought my current config would have worked?

?? I'm not using a stock ROM though. I'm using CheckRom RevoHD v4.
I have seen numerous YouTube vids of folk using their GS 2's with a Wiimote. However, not sure which ROM? MIUI perhaps??

Kinda nitpicking, but fine, I should have said stock based ROM.
So from that you should be able to deduce information about non-stock based ROMs (AOSP).

Apologies if you thought I was being flippant... not my intention.
So which ROMS have a modified Bluetooth driver? I'm looking at MUIU & CM7.1, however, not sure if these are any better than what I already have? Also can I simply flash over the top from within CWM, without loosing all my settings etc?
Many thanks.

You can find information about CM7 in the Q&A thread in this very forum, and MIUI on its own site.

So the issue is the "stock" (Samsung based) bluetooth stack. It doesn't work with bluetooth controllers, including Wiimotes and (until somewhat recently) ps3 controllers.
However, the Sixaxis Controller had an update I think in November that employs a workaround that uses some kind of tunneling protocol to connect to ps3 controllers. (I have this app, which is paid, but does work on Samsung based ROMs) Wiimotes still do not work on any ROM that is using the Samsung bluetooth stack.
AOSP based ROMS, such as MIUI, CM7, or any ROM based on those, should be able to use both Wiimotes and ps3 controllers normally.

Now I'm new to S2, any thing in particular that I should know?
What is the Original Android Development and the Android Development difference?
Which is the some of the recommended ROM (no bugs, don't want MIUI) since there's really a lot custom rom compared to my previous x10i.

Original android is supposed to be ASOP tweaks/roms whereäs the other has to do with touchwiz (I believe, but then again I've seen threads crossposted in the wrong section all the time). As for ROMs, I would personally stay far away from the ICS ROMs because they're nowhere near ready for daily use; there are many bugs and problems. When looking through firmwares there's no difference between XW and XX other than the countries that the ROM was released into, you can still flash these ROMs for use anywhere in the world. Personally I'm using XXKK5 because KL1 and above are developer builds with inconsistent framework changes. CheckROM KK5 is what I suggest for a stable ROM that works good. I also highly recommend JKay deluxe. CM7 is also an option, but I personally had problems with charging and was forced off the ROM. Your mileäge may vary. Also there are a ton of radio firmwares available: try out the latest revision and take note of your battery usage over a few days. Try others to see which works best for you. There's no real "golden" radio firmware. I personally use KH3 on AT&T in Phoenix.

If you wanna to try ICS ROMs, I will suggest you try simplistic. Now I use it as daily rom and I feel it's good enough.
And if you want to use HDTC Adapter , I suggest you stay in Stock Rom first. As I know, most custom roms don't support HDMI output.
There are no recommended roms. Try some out for yourself & see how you find them. A rom that works well for me will not necessarily give you the same experience.
for my opinion i suggest you flash cm7
but if like the intersting things,just flash cm7/andyX

Have you tried wiping and reinstalling the ROM
Ricey
wait for cm9, i've tried the devel vers and is very fast!
Just a suggestion
Hiya! Well, since you haven't got your phone yet, I would suggest you play around with your stock ROM first. The Original Android Development is for AOSP ROMs, ROMs that were created from scratch. The Android Development section is for custom tweaked versions of the stock ROM if I'm not mistaken.
I'm currently using Simplistic ICS but it has its fair share of bugs. You might wanna try insanity ii. It's a nice AOSP ROM. Never had FC's and it's amazingly fast and battery life is great. Good luck!
Hi bud, good choice of phone. If you want best standard ginger bread go to original development and flash intratech KK5 original Sammy ROM it's seamless!!!
Or, like me and you want to jump into ICS go to www.darkyrom.com and flash facieto's ICS LP2 THEN on top of that, upgrade to his LP6! Came out this week and it's seamless and crash free, all works!

As I know, to get someone call your phone just solve the home-button issues.
I never met lock screen problem. I am using RC5 + Update 2 , try this combination. Also remember , don't directly flash update package after installation. Following these steps: Install RC5 - (reboot) - Install Update 1 - (reboot) - Install Update 2 - (reboot) - Call from others phone to unlock home button.
Hope this help. Good Luck , bro.

Stock ROM, or any ROM based on stock. It needs the Samsung framework. So nothing that is pure AOSP (such as CM or MIUI) will work. If you want a ROM that is as close to AOSP as possible that still supports the MHL adapter, try GingerMOD.

See above, but there are many others. I don't personally use any of them (I'm still on stock, rooted, modded myself), so I can't recommend one above any others. It's a personal preference anyways, so you should just try some and decide yourself.

I was wondering if someone can tell me for which rom to go. There seem to be many along with CM for this tablet so I am not sure which to use. The tablet comes with 2.2 loaded on mine and thats pretty useless since one of the main uses will be Skype. But I have read that it can be upgraded to 2.3 which support switching cameras so it will be useful with skype.
Thats what I want from the rom too at least. Just be able to work with skype. Can anyone suggest me a rom to use or should I just stay on the official rom after upgraded and just root it?

Thank you very much for the replies The phone is a european one (I think) build number is FROYO.XXKD6. So I should stick to 2.3 for now I guess. Thanks again for the help guys!
It would also help if you told us whether you had the 4.0 or 5.0 version of the player as ROMs are dependent on which player you have and whether there international or US versions.

Any rom developed for GPS 5.0 should work. Just make sure you load the INT kernel.
As none of the ICS builds have the camera thing worked out yet, your best bet is to stay with GB custom roms.
I have both INT and US GPS 5.0 with Eryigit 3.5 roms. It's smooth and stable.
Have fun with your player.
Thanks cvcduty I will go with Eryigit for starters. I do not want it to do crazy things or play any high end 3d games,afar from skype some games would be nice but I want it mainly to read and get on skype. I hope I can install the modded roms without updating it through kies first.. because no matter what I did Kies can't detect it.

You would want kies just for the drivers so your pc can detect the player when you connect it via usb. That would be the only reason you need to load kies software. If you find the right drivers by other means, you really don't need to load kies at all. Matter of fact, I have loaded custom GB roms on players straight out of the box. These players had Froyo from factory.
No need to update your player to factory GB in order to flash custom GB.
If you are having issues with kies, try uninstalling and then reinstalling. You need the driver from that app in order for Odin to detect your player. Once that is done, locate your selected rom in the "pda" area inside Odin and flash. 5 mins to flash and reboot and you are done. Your first boot might take a while so be patient.
Good luck.
For now I am looking for Odin. Lol it can't be so hard to find it since it will be in these forums. Is the latest version 1.85? Also do I have to install the Kernel too or its inside the modded rom? Do I just run odin and choose the rom and install?

there may be newer but 1.85 is KNOWN to work without issue, so best to use it.
It worked like a charm! Very smooth and fast rooting, Odin seems like a great tool to use although the part of having to use certain versions of it for certain devices is a bit complicated. After searching a bit around I understand what you mean that later version might not work as well.
Well I will be sticking to Erygit probably until an ICS rom with camera support appears, if it will. Thanks again everyone for all the help

I don't understand why you would need bluetooth drivers; I'm prettry sure that whatever rom you're running has bluetooth included.... what rom are you running? Are you sure you have an I777? Are you sure it's not the device you're attempting to connect to that has a problem?

Why not just flash a different Rom ? If the current one isn't doing what you need, try another. There's a bunch out there. There's a good chance this could fix your issue. But I've never personally experienced issues involving Bluetooth and AOKP, always been stable for me.

I know Shostock supports it, and I am pretty sure Mr.Cook's will too. You need a Samsung based ROM for OTG. This will limit you to 4.1.2 ROMS I believe.
