Hello,
3 weeks ago,I got a GT-19100G galaxy s2.Pretty happy with it,everything is great except for TW of course So I need advice at whether I should get the official ICS update when its released in march(also thinking about giving the LB leak a try) which will use TW as far as I know or root my phone and flash the CM9 and get andy's costum ICS.Andy's ICS looks pretty nice but I don't wanna root my phone specially that I never rooted any device before(my previous device was nokia n81 8gb LOL).Or maybe I should just wait for the official release and get some sort of ICS themes or something.I'm currently running Android 2.3.6 baseband I9100GDZKK1 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.So what ya think ?
root..flash CM9..after ICS offiaclly released..flash back stock rom and get OTA..easy right??
Would be easy if I knew what the hell is OTA
Edit:Oh,I googled it.Its over the air.Well,why would I root it if I will flash back stock ROM again in 2 weeks ?
Personal view would be wait for ICS then wait for the modders to mod the official release .

I was thinking about that too...I think I'll just do that But just to be on the safe side,is it completely safe to root my phone and install CM9 ? Bcuz my phone is new and if anything happened to it,I'll kill myself.
FYI, the i9100G is not the i9100, therefore ICS leaks and CM9 will not work in your phone. If you do flash CM9 or one of the leaks your phone will be damaged. The i9100G is sort of crippled ROM developement wise from the start due to it's lack of Exynos in favour of some old TI-OMAP. Your only choice is to wait for Samsung to released ICS for your phone.

Lol,how is that possible ? O-o Does that mean I can't install any custom roms or its just the cm9 ?

IIRC, there is only one ROM available for your phone and that is SuperROM (Android 2.0.3). All other ROMs will brick your phone.
That's right. You can only install custom roms that are specifically written for the I9100G. And there aren't many of them. Someone on here said a couple of weeks ago that there are two (don't quote me on it tho).
If you flash a rom meant for any other SGS2 variant, as Xethor said, you run the risk of bricking your phone.

Damn...I had to get it since its the only S2 version available here.Why samsung ? Why would u make different versions of galaxy s2 ??!!! :/ Well I guess I'll just have to depend on launchers.I got Go launcher EX,launcher7 and ADWLauncher.If you by any chance know a nice ICS theme,can u give me the market link ?
At first I also didn't knew the difference between I9100 and I9100G. I bricked my phone by flashing one of the I9100 ROM. Then I figured it out, unbricked it again. And now i'm running SuperROM with ICS Domination v2.0 theme.
I9100G sucks big time, both in hardware and software.
Only four ROM's are available for 'G' variant:
SuperROM
Juffo ROM
Galaxyrom rc4
Darky ROM
Can't believe it took 6 replies for someone to point out to the OP that the G version is different to the International model. Lucky he didn't brick it. So glad the T version is the same except it requires its own modem.

Which roms for i777 are android 4.0.4 ?
I am having problem with ICS roms freeze and reboot when connected for about 15 ~ 20 min to Sony cat stereo via bluetooth.
Found out that there are several other people having same problem on i9100 and apparently only 4.0.3 based roms are causing problem. Fixed by installing 4.0.4 rom.
Now, I'm trying to find rom for i777 with android 4.0.4, but I only see "F1 GalaxyNexus Pure Galaxy Experience." I am having hard time installing it because it gives me error.
Are they any other rom with 4.0.4 ?
Otherwise, I will have to go back to gingerbread.

Tried FoxHound and AOKP.
I did not like both. I think I just am too used to TouchWiz and other samsung applications.
I just feel AOKP is not as easy to use.
Going back to Gingerbread for now. Wasted too much time on trying to make ICS work.
Let me know if there is any android 4.0.4 with close to stock feel. (TouchWiz)

I don't remember or know for sure which TW-based ROM with ICS 4.04, search in the dev. section. If don't like them all, there should be an easy way to update the AT&T official ICS 4.0.4 ROM. All you have to do is flashing/re-flashing the stock ROM 4 times.
Note: you must perform it right at 4:04 for it to work though.

Ah I see.
I have settled with AOKP with APEX Launcher for now.
I still like TouchWiz better. It does lack advanced features of AOKP, but then I don't really need advanced features.
Hope official 4.0.4 comes out soon. (Unlikely, but one can hope..)

Well, I think there's a way in which we can eventually get a 4.0.4 sammy based rom on our i777.
See, if you go thru latest news on i9100's forum , you'll see that official 4.0.4 has been released for them.. so if we get a custom kernel (maybe siyah or Neak) that can support 4.0.4 for our phone.. then one can easily hailraise the i9100 4.0.4 based rom without much hustle...
but, it'd take few more days for this as custom roms based on 4.0.4 for i9100 are also not out yet.. nor many supported kernels.. but it definately would...
Hope this helps !!!

He was talking about official 4.0.4 and the answer is no. There will NOT be an official 4.0.4 for this device. They barely came out with 4.0.3 so its highly unlikely another release will happen

Well.. I never said that 4.0.4 is coming for i777 . I just said that there is a way to have almost exact experience with the way I mentioned and I'm not wrong there to answer his queries.

Hello, Just Picked up my S2 I900m today. I am on the Bell Canada network. My previous phone is the I9000m (still love it) which was Rooted using Slim ICS and the Semaphore kernel using the KG3 Modem.
I've spent a few hours reading/research and for some reason the 9100 seems a little more complicated. I basically want a smiliar setup as I had with the i9000.
I think once I get the recovery figured out, I can start by flashing CM9 and then SLIM ICS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: I forgot to mention I bought the phone used so it has been upgraded to 4.03 MUGLD3
well, the great thing with i9100 is that you can basically match anything up (considering of what OS you're in: GB or ICS) unlike that of i9000's, you have to be on that firmware so you can flash that something and etc.
if you have a good background in flashing things in i9000, then you're good to go in the i9100 world

ps sorry for the bad english im excited xD thanks in advance! im afraid i would brick it haha since it has ics and gb as baseband
If it already has ICS on it when you get it, then you just flash CM7 straight onto it. You won't need to go to GB.
And of it's got GB when you get it, then again you just flash CM7 straight onto it.

well if its on ICS, best way to be safe is to use the Universal Rooting method,
then flash the CWMod.
here's the link:

i used that one , no triangle, no superbrickbug. just plain root.
then flash a base ROM.
for me, i flashed VanillaRoot Box as my base when i bought my s2 last month ago.
