Any rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Im new with a sgs2, i can flash my sgs2 with any rom, i have ki4 in this moments
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Yes, just make sure it matches your phone model. Most roms are for the international (i9100) version, so don't mix them up. Follow the instructions carefully, and exactly step by step, and you're out of harm's way .

I have i9100 latinamerica, I have rom ki4 rooted, which you can recommend to be stable

Stable? pick one from the original development thread, any that is based of a samsung rom, you can pick and try until you find your favorite flavor.

it's just a feeling...
but if you come to here (xda), probably do you don't look for official rom.
In generally the custom roms or beta is working fine.
now you have information a lot to research here.
good luck.

Just test some roms to see what's best for you. I think you have here alot of choices so goodluck mate!

Which ROM to use?

I'm currently using Lite'ning ROM and since the developer went MIA I'm thinking of changing to another ROM. I tried ToxicROM but dislike it due to various reasons...
One of the reasons why I wanna change is because my SGS2 often hang / restart / lag kinda problems which seriously annoys me..

Try = Install one of the latest/newest STOCK Samsung ROMs like KL1
That was the advice given .
Read the rom descriptions in the custom roms sections and decide what you want is another choice ,

I'm not a big fan of the stock ROM.
Go for CriskeloRom or CheckRom RevoHD. In my opinio, they are one of the best ROMs.
Hope this helps

Build your own ROM! And ask for donations.

I'm using CheckROM v4 with siyah kernel v 2.4.2.. My phone is very smooth, with good battery life and stability... I use this kernel only for bln, because the phone is good even with default settings..you can also try speedmod...
Hope this helps!

There are many jellybean ROM out there, just try them. If you don't like one, flash another one.
asking for best ROM is forbidden on XDA. Read the rules next time before posting.

2. Visit here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531244

I'm guessing this link will be helpful. It's an index of all kind of roms for the S2. I personally use the Resurrection Remix 2.6.1 and 3.0.6 with a dual boot (DorimanX kernel).

Just out of curiosity... Why do you think Rootbox is the best? I for one am waiting until the AOKP team has added more options and optimization to their JB roms. Until they have done that, I will stay with RR 2.6.1 (ICS). In the meantime I will keep trying their JB roms in my dualboot setting.
U mean to say jb roms are not stable till yet
So which ics version are u using now 4.0.3 or 4.0.4
Please provide the link
And also does ur phn hang or lag now
Any bug in the rom please tell

There is nothing like best ROM. Everybody will have their own best ROM.
The issue about best ROM is always very subjective.
All I know is, there are good ROMs out there.
PS: I strongly believe if this kind of discussion should not continue on this thread, the moderator might close it down within the next few hours
Kk i am not asking any one for best rom
All i want is a bug free rom with users review. No harsh feelings for any developer

I'm not saying these roms are not stable. I said that I'd prefer a rom with more optimizations and functionality. JB is stil under heavy development. I will provide you the links, but I suggest you'd put a little more effort in searching throughout XDA.
I'm on Resurrection Remix 2.6.1 (Android 4.0.4)
and
Resurrection Remix 3.0.6 (Android 4.1.1 if I'm not mistaken).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
You'll have to search that thread for the download links.
If you want the most stable and bugfree experience, then flash a ICS based Rom. If you want to experiment, then you can flash a JB Rom, which you can also use as a daily driver by now (at least the latest CM 10 nightlies)
If you want to have the most customizations then Flash an AOKP based Rom like the Resurrection Remix 2.6.1 Rom which is ICS based. Since 3.0 it`s JB based however.
If you just want the vanilla Android experience without too much settings then you can of course try the famous Cyanogenmod 9 Rom, which is also great.
It took me quite a while to figure out what`s the best Rom for me. I settled for Resurrection Remix 2.6.1
In the end it`s up to you and what you like, that`s why there is no such thing as "the best Rom"

Yes, you can downgrade to a Gingerbread stock rom from the ICS rom you're currently running.
You can download GB stock roms from Samfirmware.com or AndroidFirmwares.Net.

Done downgrade my phone. Now my phone running android 2.3.6. Im very now and thanks whose those helped me in this process. So what a good kernel for my phone now?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium
Glad you got it sorted
I always liked using Siyah on GB roms. But one thing you need to watch out for - make sure you flash a Gingerbread kernel now you're running GB stock. If you flash an ICS or JB kernel, your phone won't boot (doubt you'd brick it outright, but stranger things have happened here).
As long as you do that, you'll be fine Have a look in the development sections of the board & you should be able to find threads with GB kernels that work with stock.

Some questions regarding root...

Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
Best regards

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.
