Im a noob or maybe worse when it comes to roms and flashing. I want to install themes on my phone. I like many on here my phone is a samsung i777 that is rooted with stock 2.3.6 firmware and my kernal is 2.6.35.7 build is GINGERBREAD.UCKK6. What do i need to flash in order to install themes on this device or are all themes universal? Say i wanted to install one of Money's Themes give me an example of what i must do and than i can figure out the rest on my own for different developers(this is just an example I'm not giving or taking any credit away from any developer) Any help would be appreciated.

To install any theme, you will need to install a custom ROM.. if you want to stay close to stock experience, you can get started by installing Unnamed or SHOstock. Once you install a custom ROM, you should find that ROM-specific themes.
And before you install any custom ROM, you will need a custom kernel (like Entropy's DD kernel or Siyah) to get a recovery like CWM or Redpill. You need recovery like that to install any custom ROM.
So.. read, read, read before you flash anything. All you need is patience.
Tip: Look at people's signatures.. that will give you an idea of what ROM/theme combo people use.

I've been searching and reading for the past two hours. I currently have stock Vibrant with the new J16 OTA update. I want to root my phone and install a custom rom. I see there are many ways to root, but can someone guide me to a tutorial that guides me through the best way to Rooting and flashing a custom rom? Secondly, is there a tutorial on how to get back to original factory rom for warranty?
Thank you

My $0.02, skip the FroYo ROMs for now, they are all broken to some extent. Bionix Fusion, for me anyway, is the best and most stable custom ROM available for the Vibrant. EVERYTHING works, and it is fast and rock solid!
Root Vibrant
Bionix Fusion 1.1
You can't go wrong from those links.

Quoted for truth, Bionix is magic.
I know I should search this stuff but once I get some help with this I will ask to delete this thread. I just rooted my phone for the first time and I am looking for the best aosp rom or anything like aosp that has everything working. And do you loose the functionality of the 3d camera once we change roms? Also How to i back up everything so I dont loose all my apps and stuff. I appreciate any help that someone gives me. Now off the the development forum to try ti find a rom and figutr out how to even flash it.

Thank you. I have a quick question that maybe you could help me with. Do you have to change kernels for different roms or does the stock one work on all?

No problem. And that all depends on the dev, they might include a custom kernel (so you can OC) but some may include the stock one and suggest a kernel for you to flash. I would suggest using a kernel other than stock if you wanna OC (although I'm not sure if you can use perflock disabler..can anyone confirm/deny?)
Edit: I'm not rooted yet, haven't had the time. But I might make the jump in a day or two. Kinda missing that aosp goodness!

All the ROMs (so far) are based off the original EVO 3d rom, the only difference is some have tweaks and/or HTC Widgets and apps like peep and friend stream taken out. If a ROM isn't fully functional it will say so in the first post. If you wipe yes you will loose all your apps but apps like MyBackup or Titanium Backup can restore them as they were in minutes. If you going to be flashing ROMs, one of those programs is really good to have.
Hi everyone im still noob lol but i would like to know more info how to update new firmware and too for kernel both.

Damn....another thread closed cause lazyness.
Ok so this may have been posted before but I've been searching and can't find anything.
So I got my note 2 when they released and I did the first "root" method available which I think was odin. Not really root with a custom recovery however I don't think. See the following screenshot to see what I'm currently running. Its been fine until now so I never re flashed anything or install twrp or anything.

Lately its been running slow so I want to fully root and install something along the lines of the latest Clean Rom. I had cleanrom on my Rezound and I love his roms.
Only reason I'm making this thread is because I'm not sure where to start because I don't think I'm stock yet I'm not "really" rooted.
Dont want to mess up my device.
Thanks!!

Sounds like you are rooted, but your bootloader is still locked. In order to flash ROMs on Verizon you will need to unlock the bootloader (unless you did that via Odin the first time around). From those screenshots you won't be able to tell if you have unlocked the bootloader...as far as I know the only want to check is to boot into recovery. If you see TWRP or CWM you are set...if you get the stock recovery you need to follow Adam Outler's original unlock method as you are on baseband VRALJB. To access recovery power off the device and then press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously. Whatever boots up will tell you what you need to know.
stary by reading the stickies.
Yea I believe I'm still on the stock recovery.
Hi All...
I searched for hours but failed to come up with a solution. I own Samsung Galaxy sII (SGH-I777). Please refer to the screen shot.
It is rooted and unlocked. ICS with custom rom and kernal. I am trying to update to Jelly bean. Could someone please help me to do the upgrade? I would like to be rooted and unlocked after the upgrade. Appreciate any help.

First, your screenshot says Galaxy Nexus, so I'm going to assume you've edited the build.prop to reflect that (this is based on the fact you're running an i777 modem).
Anyway, simply install a JB kernel and flash the rom of your choice. Refer to the OP in this thread for the most current and stable kernel for the i777. You'll need to select the correct kernel for the rom you want to flash - be it Samsung or AOSP. There are over 4,000 comments in that thread, any questions you might have about what to flash will be there.

Yes I recall making changes using build.prop. I have been out of this game and very rusty. Could you please elaborate on selecting the correct kernel for the rom.
If your phone is rooted with CWM recovery you only need install a custom ROM it includes its own kernel. A good JB ROM is the Shostock3 see here and follow the installations instructions:
