Is it possible to use S2 Roms on galaxy S2 i9100G(new model with lower processor)
I wanna.buy S2, so i need this info ASAP and also tell me whether we can use Samsung camera app on cyanogen mod(if there is any for I9100G)

Seaech button would tell you that g model has diffrent cpu, so I9100 roms would only brick I9100G

Just dont buy the G version its useless...you cant use anything meant for I9100 on I9100G

Hasn't there any fix for that yet or will it ever be available ??

Any fix for what ? Different hardware = borked phone if you flash I9100 firmware on a I9100G. Pretty straightforward really.

I mean like other features are same in both models except processor, can there be made a fix(cwm flashable zip) to change the processor related files in firmware ???

different chipset
different drivers
different rom
get the original i9100 if you want to flash roms
It won't be available.
You have two different types of hardware and you want to run the same OS on them? That's a no go.

And, what about porting?
I try to but need some explanations on an error.
I mean if there is only different cpu and gpu, we "just" have to change driver, some lib files and perhaps some configuration files to adapt.
I will try to ask some help in the hd2 threat, they are king of porting rom!

If it would be that easy you would have every possible flavor of any rom available now. The reason you don't is that you have to have a proper kernel, drivers,... well actually everything apart from some bundled apps.
It just won't happen or it would already. You would have a HTC Sensation running a Samsung ICS rom but you don't. The hardware is just too different.

You've kind of opened yourself up to riddical here. In answer, yes and no. Gs2 uses android, so do we. Could you take its firmware and use it on are phone? No, the hardware is completely different. It would brick your phone. But some simular spec phones we could, its not as simple as flashing there rom on are phone. It needs to be ported. A good example of this is nims11s current sonyericsson port. The way to look at it is we take half there rom, half ares and combine them. Its not that simple, but its a simple way to think of it.

Of course it's possible, just depends if/when they get around to it.
It's only a half-assed "port" anyway as the full ICS AOSP source tree still hasn't been released and there's certainly no updated-for-ICS hardware drivers yet for pretty much anything other than the new Nexus.
but if they got it to work on thr att model what do we need to make it work on our phones?
or what is the hardware difference that makes that rom unusable on our phones?

Hey guys im trying to decide between this phone and the skyrocket. This phone has a lot more developer support but the skyrocket is newer and has a bigger screen. What do you guys think?
Ps. Im looking to play games watch a lot of movies and flash roms

Search is your friend . This has been asked to death and often results badly :O .
OGS2 = dev support + better cpu/gpu
SR = bigger screen + LTE
There's other differences but those seem to be the main deciding factors.

While the bigger screen on the skyrocket may seen like a boon, go check them both out. I disliked the skyrocket's slightly less contrast and clarity. It's weird considering there's only a small difference in size and the panels are the same. Also, the other thing that pushed me towards this one was better development and the combination of cpu/gpu. It's snapper.

As long as you flash the hellraiser patch you can flash any touchwiz rom and have it work, some people did this and posted it in the dev section. You can't use hellraiser for aosp roms. And no you can't flash any kernels except siyah because that dev has made a version of it for our phone

No - one of the first things Hellraiser does is replace the kernel. (Except, as mentioned above, the I777 version of SiyahKernel)

Yes, CyanogenMod and MIUI.
But, both are supported on the i777, without having to port the i9100 version. They are ports, but someone has already tweaked them for you. All you have to do is download and flash.

Also, it will be a pain is the a$$ due to lack of WP compatible system files etc..

Haha its an Android based rom definately! I don't think its posible at the moment to build a rom based off Windows 6.5-7.5 operating systems yet... its not openly sourced like Android.

I don't know about gt-i9100g, but I'm using SHW-M250S (korean gs2) now.
as i know, there is three type of korean gs2, m250s/k/l. s/k is for gsm, and l is for cdma.
m250s/k is i9100+nfc+dmb(korean tv broadcast)+some pit difference.
if u just flash pit for i9100 on m250s/k, you can flash all roms for i9100 on m250s/k.

And the battery
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
I don't know about the Korean variant of the galaxy s2, but the major difference between the GT-I9100 and the GT-I9100G version is the SoC. Exynos (made by samsung) is present on the normal (non g variant), and has a lot of dev support because it is the first international variant. The G version has Omap4 SoC, the same as galaxy nexus, which makes it more dev friendly as Omap4 is more easy to develop. However, the G version has 1 GHz processor, not 1.2 (like the non G), tho users are very happy with the G version. It all depends on what you plan to do. If you want to flash AOSP (such as CM9/10) ROMs, you'd be better off buying the G (version) since developers are now leaning towards that. Both phone have custom ICS and JB ROMs, so you don't need to be worried about that.
As far as the battery is concerned, I'm happy with my S2, I can easily spend a day using it with normal use. I plug my phone in at night and plug out after waking up, and use the phone for the whole day without charging again. I guess you could say its reasonable for such a smartphone. I don't know about battery life on the G version, though.
Both phones are alike in physical appearance, and the way to distinguish between them is just the from the bootscreen or written behind the battery on the phone, and on the box ... maybe someone else may tell you more about it.
Sorry for the long post

People in India are not happy about getting the g model in the box when they have paid for the non g model.

the i9100 has the dual core exynos 4210 with mali 400 gpu specs on sheet its faster than omap 4430 , but u wont tell the difference ! the i9100g has a better battery life and is powered by sgx 540 but its overclocked from 233mhz to 384mhz other than that they are the same ! plus i noticed that my i9100g comes with 11gb storage only not 16! which is kinda weird
Dude, give up on the idea and just get a Nexus 4 if you want Jelly Bean.
Don't even think about getting any other Android, it just won't be the same as getting the updates straight from the big G.
