Hi to all,
Recently rooted my stock SGS2 i9000, and flashed it with the above rom.
Couple of noob questions though.
How to access the rom's settings?
ie, i dont want the battery percentage icon showing?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thxs.
Hi, that rom is based on the stock samsung firmware, it doesn't really have many tweakable options like that, go with a AOKP rom if you want a load of options to tweak and play with.

Thxs for the quick reply.
Do you have any favourite roms that would suit my needs (tweakable).

If you have the i9000 instead of the i9100, best to check out their section on xda. Not a good idea to flash i9100 roms on the i9000.

I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

1. there's no exact answer to which rom or kernel gives the best batt life. u should actually test them to see which fits your preference. there are also threads here which does benchmarkings and testing out batt life. try searching for them.
2. when u install a custom rom, it will say on their thread on what baseband version they based their rom. for example, LeoMar's ROM is based on KH3, etc. the rom chooses it for you basically.
3. the latest is 2.3.4, and almost all custom ROMs are based on 2.3.4. no need to flash anything extra
Ok so do I actually have to find a XXKG2 or MUGKG2 based ROM or I can take anything? And from personal experience which one do you think is the best one?
you can actually take in anything (at least your phone's getting an updated baseband version thru the custom roms).
i'm not quite sure how the different versions of the baseband affects my phone. i don't notice any difference in performance actually.
Aight!!! Thanks man. Which one do you recommend?
you can try using the dlev2 rom version 1.2 , its indeed great and also has good battery life

cognition or litening rom can be good choices to start with.
leomar rom gives a lot of customization options because it has a kitchen app on the android market.
My recommendation is that you read some more, get comfortable before you flash anything on your device, know what you are about to get into instead of going on someone else's opinion, the questions you ask are of someone who doesn't fully understand what they are about to do.
It helps when you read a lot, you are able to think your own way through if something doesn't go exactly as planed, else you would have to come right back here to ask a million questions
you can find official firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
as a few posts above i agree what that person said..do a bit more reading before you start flashing. i can remember the time when i wanted to start flashing and rooting and when i did not back up the stock rom the first time i panicked and i did not know what to do and how to get back the stock rom...funny now but back then not so funny..
anyway research play with your stock rom for a while and then flash...for custom rom i would suggest a few...Im using BatistaRom 3.7.7 its the smoothest fastest and battery efficient rom i have used so far...even when i go and try other roms i always come back to this one. For battery as well VillainRom 2.4.2 is one heck of a custom rom and the battery life on that bad boy is wicked..
With regarding kernels again it varies...read the threads of the rom you are interested in flashing and see what people suggest on them..
good luck and be careful when rooting and flashing. any help you need throw me a PM..
Yeah, there are like tons of ROMs and customizations for SGS2 and all major developers are cooking something or the other for our GS2...
Selection of ROM depends only on taste. Some people wants battery life, some people wants only speed and performance. So ask yourself, what kinda ROM you need. One built from scratch, one modded from stock, AOSP?
I use GingerMod Vanilla 0.4. Suits my taste
Hi guys,
I have been using in a more or less satisfying way the mentioned ROM, [wrong]KI5[/wrong] AHEM, KI3, under the darkyrom modification. I didn't quite like the glowy stuff, but anyway. I would like to have an upgrade, since I've read there are way newer versions already (gosh this moves fast!). So far I'm rather satisfied, but the contacts bother me a lot. I get a lot of FC whenever I try to modify anything within the contacts. So I want to change the ROM and (hopefully) get rid of the issue. I am currently doing a Titanium backup and CWM backup. So my questions go as follows:
1: If I chose Cyanogenmod, would I have any problem? I mean, I have root from CF-root if I'm not mistaken, and then now running darky rom. Is there any step I should follow, or can I just do an update.zip?
2: If I chose any other ROM (preferably the less customized possible, I basically go with GO Launcher and that's it), which one is the most recommended/stable etc? I prefer if it looks more android stock than touchwiz anyway.
PS: Does MHL work already on cyanogenmod?

All the information you need and more is available in the CyanogenMod 7 (w/ Gingerbread 2.3.7) for Galaxy SII Q&A thread, just follow the instructions in the first post carefully.
All the stock ROMs are in the [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2 Download thread. If you don't want a stock ROM, browse through the rest of the ones on offer.

Q: What are the known issues?
A: Issues that I can remember:
- Video playback - some formats are not recognized, use an alternative app for video playback
- Camera - some modes don't work
- TVout, MHL
- FMRadio
- Issues when using the 2G/3G-Switch
- Volume issues (some report too high, others too low)

Thank you for the listing, I already saw it. It's fully stock, so I wasn't interested.
I also wanted an update on the situation of cyanogenmod which actually you gave me, so thank you.
But I also wanted recommendations of people, to see what ROMs they consider stable.
I would like to be able to modify both the icons and the off-screen animation so it looks like stock android (not touchwiz). Everything else I would like to keep it...So what would you recommend me?
So many ways to go...
Cm7 nightly looks good. Still waiting for release so if FCs are a problem you might not like it. I only got a few anyway but still.
Stock samsung is still best for me. Add jkay mods for sure will give you great themes and New lock screens and nice system features like CRT.
Go launcher ex
Go sms pro
Go contacts ex
All good and themed.
Good luck.

Huh... you want a rom built by samsung but that has absolutly nothing samsung made in it? Not sure how's that even possible
There's only 2 ways to go, from what i understand:
- for absolutly nothing related with samsung your best bet is any rom compiled (and modded) from google sources like CM10, aokp, slimbean, etc
or
- any samsung based rom with those aroma setups that allow for the removal of just about anything before installing. In this sense you'll be good with just about any rom you pick since all seem to have it But you'll still have samsung stuff in it since they built it, not sure if there's how to go round that

Will i am new in this android world and in really early stages in modding and flashing ,but the android modding so far is similar to what i use to do with Windows Mobile bck in the days ,it was possible to get stoke WM rom and install it in just any device and build whatever on it
Hello to I9100 section,
first of all i'm not complete new in customise android smartphons, but in a few days i get my first i9100 and the section is really big and confusing so i want to ask some questions.
My previous smartphones were: i9003 and i9070.
At the i9100 i want to use a stock rom as far as possible, but i want to customise some things.
The things i want to change are:
- rooting with cwm
- 14 toggle mod
- extended power menu
- percentage battery
- custom boot animation
- crt mod
- maybe if possible with stock rom a battery bar
- some tweaks like center clock and other status bar notifications.
At my search in the section i found a lot of stuff (mostly from resurrection remix), my question:
Can i use this mods on a stock rooted sansung rom with 4.1.2?
I think things like percentage battery can be done by me using uot but most of the mods i have to install,
i'm a little but unsure if the work on "stock" rotted samsung rom.
Maybe someone can giv me some tips?
I dont want to use a custom rom again cause my experiences with them weren't always good unfortunatly :/

I agree. I understand your (OP) point about custom roms that 'don't always work', but if you install a rom based on official Samsung roms, it's almost the same as stock, but with some modifications. However, I would go for Neatrom, as its development is more active than Wanamlite, but that's up to yourself.

If you want stock ICS use Alliance Rom V4.1 or if you want stock JB use Neatrom lite V4
Neatromlite + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999623
Almost all mods you mentioned are in AOI-X-TremeXD
Or may be you can have all these mods and more mods here: ALL IN ONE MOD by ICS_XD.:good:
I'm looking for a simple custom rom that's similar to AOSP or AOKP, but also includes some stock s5 features and certain Tmobile apps. There appear to be many custom roms, and I don't want to try them all. I'd like it to be as stock as possible, with maybe just a few tweaks, because I do have a concern for glitches and such. Does anyone know of a custom rom like Im asking about, or is there a way to get some of my stock Samsung and Tmobile apps onto a rom of my choice. I appreciate your time.
Any of the current roms will be fine for you. Or you could go with XtreStoLite G900T
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800402
u can install any custom rom then from there install any samsung and tmobile u like, im using XtreStoLite G900T with most of Samsung app installed and it running great for me.
Thanks, this is actually really close to what I'm looking for. Any more reccomendations are appreciated though.
