First You have to root the phone, and after that install xRecovery, which will allow You to flash new ROM. I won't help You with choosing ROM because I'm X10 user

u need to look into ur phone specific thread.

Ok I hated my hd2 about a week after I got it.Now I love if you are into Flashing a coustom Rom I would use Core Cell or Energy rom.I am also a newbi but I have done alot of Reading on this great site. you have to install Hspl3 before you can install any costom ROM as far as android goes I change it all the time.Also I would look for the anserw before you ask any ?.

and if it will help can sombody like explain in short how to root and what about roms ..
I know there are alot of treads but i want you to like give me advise on what is the best for me?

thanks to the ones that are going to help me.
if there is exact the same tread can you send me a link ( i looked for 10 minutes but dident find what i was looking for)
Hey You can have any game in your U20i ,there is only one problem that you have ,that is were you able to play a game in your mini pro! Rooting your x10MP does not delete your sd data (but may your phone data, if you upgrade to another firmware and root, will delete phone data ).
heres the link for rooting- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
And another thing please go through x10MP section before asking this kind of questions!

Hey, bro!
First of all, there are no stupid questions, weŕe all learning here .
Rooting, in itself, doesnt let you play more Games/Apps.If you want to use more and especially newer apps, you will have to install a Custom ROM on your device, commonly known as flashing. A custom ROM is a is an android operating system that is different from your latest "official"(made by SonyEricsson) OS. Custom ROMs for our device are very practical, because our latest official Android version is 2.1, which doesnt support many apps. Currently, the best working custom ROMs for our Phone are the ones based on 2.3 Gingerbread.
To get the very best out of your Phone, you will have to unlock your bootloader (which is slightly risky) and flash a custom kernel, which is also part of a new Android OS(tutorials you will find in the following link).
If the procedure of unlocking your bootloader is to risky/difficult for you, there is another alternative: to flash a ROM based on your preinstalled("stock") kernel. For this you HAVE to root your phone, which doesnt have any risks and isnt difficult, install xrecovery (a program to install new ROMs) and then flash a "stock kernel based" ROM. Everything else you need to know is in this Links:
All custom ROMs and Tutorials for xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588192
For unlocking your bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462278
PS.: You wont lose any on your sdcard and phone if you just root your Phone. If you flash a new ROM, you will lose the data on your Phone, but not the data on your sdcard.

[Q] General Q's for galaxy s2 :)

Hello , I want to make few important (for me ) questions about Roms , kernels , etc etc because i plan to Upgrade My galaxy s2 gt-i9100!
answer as many questions you can .. This will help me a lot :good:
1 : Right now i have GB 2.3.3 rooted , with stock JB will be even faster i guess right? If yes I would like to know what's the best ROM'S to use I want fast Phone , with good UI and multi window if possible?
2 : I would need costum Kernel too ? its dangerus to stay at official kernel and flash Rom's for test? If other kernel is needed , Suggest me the most balanced and SAFE from brick ! IMPORTANT !
3 : I used a program called eMMC check and show me Brick Bug : NO. sane chip , so i guess Im 100% safe from unwanted brick ****s? ( If i do everything fine ) XD
4 : Any suggests about the procces? Many of you have done this lot of times , so you have tricks that will help you for a safe root / install of rom /kernel
5 : Any way of backup the correct rom in case of fail? I tryed CMW recovery and this **** show me an error when starting the procces of backup haha I read on forum this happens because of stock ROM and Kernal , So i will not need backup , in case of fail , i will just download the files from samobile >odin > and done right?
6 : in any case ! My phone will work on my carrier right? i will need any edit / mod to work on gsm networks etc?
I think this is all i will need , the problem is I searched a lot.. on google too , but there are soooo many opinions , sooo many posts that make me crazy ! I cant choose the best because simple I have not the exp to do that ! Thats why i will need you guys
Thank you a lot in advance ! :laugh:

1. Against forum rules to answer this. Read the sticky.
JB is not necessarly faster, it depends on how you use your device. Yes the software is an improvement in some cases but, as said, doesn't mean that it's faster.
2. You can root with custom kernel, and if you flash a rom they always come with a kernel. JB kernles are free from brickbug, the only vulnerable version was 4.0.4.
3. Read 2
4. Rooting process? C'mon there are thousands of root guides all over the internet (especially XDA).. if we spoonfeed you the appropriate information, you wont learn much. So go search for a guide yourself, they all fit for different people.. and one of them will fit for you
5. CWM is the best way to backup, it literally backups everything. Yes, it will work much much better on custom kernels.
6. Yes your phone will work on your carrier even if you install custom roms.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! I feel more ready about modding my phone now thanks to you ! For now i dont have other questions !
forgot to ask ! how may i install multiwindow? I know i will need jelly bean , but what exacly version? and how i can find the needed scripts? thanks again !
Multi window isn't officially available on the S2.....there is at least one custom ROM which offers this, but you'll have to research it.....
Hint....look for the sticky thread for a list of ROMs and scroll to stock or Sammy based and you'll find it at the beginning of the alphabet lol......
