hi guy，
which custom rom can save more battery？
There's no such thing because you use your phone differently to everyone else, have it setup differently, and no two phones come out of the factory exactly the same component-wise. A rom which gives me good battery life might not give you good battery life. And another thing, kernels tend to have a much greater effect on battery life than roms (unless it's a really badly put together rom). But again with kernels, you won't have the same experience as me with a given kernel for the above reasons.
And given how easy it is to flash roms/kernels & backup/restore in CWRecovery, there's no excuse for you trying out a bunch of roms/kernels till you find one that works well for you.
This thread will be closed within a few hrs.

Stay with stock rom until you understand more and have actually read the faqs and guides .
You know when you understand more thats the point in time where you do not post repetitive questions .

sorry....i dont know that :-(

Hope this help!!
And why not S2 Root
@ekoandrew
While I'm pondering how to go about rooting my GSII, I'm curious to know why you choose Chainfire's method over lyriquidperfection's S2 Root v1.2. To me the latter surely involves fewer steps / appear simpler.

Actually, Chainfire's method uses less steps, and up to the point where the lyriquidperfection version goes off on a different route, they're exactly the same!
For the majority Chainfires method just works and is updated as kernels are released .
Best rom no such animal other wise we would only have one custom rom .

The best ROM is the one that comes closest to meeting all your requirements. The chefs who make the ROMs built it to suit their prefernces (some like close to stock while outhers prefer stripped down to the basics). It is up to you to choose which one you like best
If you read through each ROM thread you will find out how fast, how stable and how many problems are with it.
As for a poll, well that would only be valid if everyone who voted had tried every ROM on the poll for at least a week. Normally beginners will flash the ROM with the biggest threat to start with (as most of the problems will have been sorted) and they'll be so impressed compared to the stock or especially the branded ROM that they stick with that.
i would still like to see a poll.. would give me a push towards the rom i could use.
i used darkys 9.5 on my sgs and i must say, the phone was never better.
cant say i had any bugs that i noticed.
so the poll would push me to maybe the two "best" ones and i could read about them and than choose.
now there are so many and to many pages to read. im a busy man. =)
maybe you guys could say your favorites here.
There are a number of posts best rom and some are even with a poll .
But as you are to busy guess you wont bother to look for them or read them .
Best stick with stock .

Hey guys im completely fresh on the andriod scene.. and loving it so far !
Iv been reading a whole bunch of threads regarding custom roms vs stock rom rooted..
I decided to give liteing rom a go.. very visual appealing although I decided I wanted to try rooting a stock and hopefully juicing out a little more battery life..
This is where im stuck and extremely confused.. which takes me to my question..
Is there a certain rom/kernel im meant to be using ? If so how do I find out which is the right one for my phone.. ? I purchased the phone online does this make a difference to the type of rom ? Does it go by region etc..
Im from Sydney, AUS.. I would like one most compatible with the networks here in OZ.
I want the phone completely stock, straight out of the box.. preferably all the settings also. I have read some roms will wipe the phone clean.. preferable.
Hopefully someone can shed some light.. I know this has may have been asked a thousand times.. but yea kinda freaking out and seems like iv been searching for hours for some basic answers..
p.s keep it idiot proof cause like I said im new to the scene..
Thank you for reading, Appreciate any comments/tips posted..

Time to go back and do more reading, just read all stickies several times and you will get all info you need. There is a ton of information telling you exactly what ROM/kernel each S2 carrier uses. I think you want to rush things, just take your time and read. You will avoid bricking your phone or come here to open "desperate, I need help" threads.

Hi all,
I have rooted my device according to the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
My phone specs are as follows: Stock Rom.
PDA:KJ2/ PHONE:KI4/ CSC:KJ1 (XSG)
Now that I have rooted my device, I would like some help what to do next for optimum performance and to remove the bloatware? I am very new to android world. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
trawl the rom threads see what you like the look of, im not saying this just becausei use it, but take a look at the litenin rom thread in my sig, thats simple to flash and plenty of instructions, i have found most roms are are based on nothing much being changed unless you go for miui or a cm7 rom,
if you wanna remove bloatware i personally set my phone up n use system app remover, everyone has there own personal choice for roms so its basically take a look at the thread if u like the look of it give it a shot,
there is plenty of help and advice in the stickys and the rom threads if you get stuck.

Thanks a lot Demon_man for the reply. I have noted few things in lightening ROM which need clarification.
1) It is based on 2.3.4 while mine is 2.3.5...should I go back?
2) It doesn't support Right to left languages..They say to install older versions.
3) what is the battery life with lightening ROM?
I shall be thankful for further help.
sorry thought i had updated my sig litnin is now un supported as far as im aware the dev left but this thread has taken over the litnin rom,

First you need to be rooted(your phone not you)and then go to the Development section and you will find a list of different ROMs.Its a matter of finding what you want in a ROM and downloading and trying each one.Usually the ROM page has the download and install instructions writen on it.You need to be rooted to have CWM.Ill leave a link to my ROM so you can see what I mean.Below the different ROM versions you will see install instructions.If your not sure what root is let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290468
Spend some time using your phone to get used to It before flashing. This will give you a better idea of what you like and don't like about it.
Armed with that info you can read up on each custom Rom to see if they offer what you want.
Read read and when you think you are ready to flash read some more.

X2 read alot, play with the phone, figure things out. There is so much to learn so you don't turn your phone into a brick. Rooting means you become a superuser, you take ownership so you can customize your phone.

Please don't even think about flashing a custom rom or rooting your phone until you're comfortable/confident enough to do it without making posts like this.
I have seen so many people in your situation on here stuff their phone up over the last few weeks because they were in too much of a hurry to mess with their phone.
AceOfClubs (and others) has given you good advice, heed it :-|
Read the CFRoot thread until you are so confident with rooting the phone that you could do it in your sleep, and then root your phone with the CFRoot kernel that corresponds to your current stock kernel. Not before.
From there, read the various development threads about different roms/kernels, get to know the various features/advantages of each (and ask questions if necessary...about the rom/kernel itself, not the process of flashing same) and then when you've settled on a rom or kernel and you're completely confident about the flashing process, flash it.
Doing this will mean you'll get it right the first time. This will result in:-
A) You not posting yet another "OMG mah fone is teh brikked helpz !" thread.
B) You not having to do without using your phone for x days (weeks) should you mess it up.
Clear ? Good

Root is changing the kernel in your phone to give you super user access which is needed to flash ROMs and firmwares.Also along with flashing there are other things to read up on like an EFS/IMEI file backups which are vital,also nandroid and Titanium backups.As you can see there are alot of good people here willing to help with good advice and all are correct in saying that you shouldnt rush into things.Take your time,read up and dont be afraid to ask questions.Play with your phone and when you know it well enough and have seen enough threads on what and what not to do then you can take the first step and root.First read up on rooting then EFS/IMEI backups and why they are needed.The rest will come in time.Id rather see you here asking questions and not in another thread saying "Help I just bricked my phone!!"
I'm a noob who needs to learn how to root their sgs2. First Android phone but I'm looking to open up and get more from my phone.
Also there seems to be so many roms and people taking of bricking. If anyone could explain the 'best' rom and what to do once my phone is rooted I would appreciate it thanks

If you don't know what you want root for, I'd suggest not rooting.
The best ROM is <insert name of ROM here>.
My advice: stick to stock.
Man, people need to use the search button nowadays :/
As well as Google.
If you're an Android noob and you start rooting, there is a high chance of failing to root HENCE a brick would occur. Most bricks you hear or see that people get are from careless actions or they don't know what in god's name they are doing.
Do not make that mistake.
Research before attempting because I assume no matter what, you want your device rooted.
Make sure you have an GT-I9100 device, check by turning on and off your device.
The best ROMs I have used, and maybe you should stick to for a while, is either CriskeloROM, SensatioN Rom, CheckROM or Lite'ning ROM, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253665
Use Odin to flash a custom kernel, for example Ninphetamine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179814
Follow guides on ROM pages to install their ROMs, installing a ROM automatically roots your device.
Good advice from previous poster.First read up on rooting and what it brings to your phone as it doesnt just bring flashing rights.As for bricking,its easy to brick your phone if your not carefull and dont read the instructions well and put the wrong kernel in Odin.Its an easy proccess but some people just dont follow the guides.Bricking in some cases is self caused.The ROM thing is a hard one cos there is no perfect ROM when everyone has different needs so its a case of read each ROM thread and choose what you like.If you dont like it try another.No one here on this site who knows what they are doing,Im quite sure,has only ever flashed one ROM in there time here.Best thing to do right now is stay stock until you read up on some important facts about flashing
1.Rooting,how why and what it brings.
2.nandroid backup
3.EFS/IMEI backup and restore-super impotant cos if you loose this info your screwed
4.the difference between each one and what each Dev brings to his/her ROM
5.Flashing.Some are done via recovery and some via odin.Also bootloops and how to get out of them
if i were you i'd first read all bout roms/kernels till your eyes bleed
then once you know how to do it, well pick a kernel and a rom which suits your needs
learn from people mistakes, i usually read couple pages on how people messed up while flashing so i dont fall in the same, and in case you brick your phone also have a way to recover it prepared
Maxwell0;2109742
Also there seems to be so many roms and people taking of bricking. If anyone could explain the 'best' rom and what to do once my phone is rooted I would appreciate it thanks :)
As asked if you know nothing and that knowledge is so limited you have to ask the banned question what is best rom then stick with stock until you understand .
Likewise why root if you dont know why .

Why don't you take time and search all is posted it's not that hard..
yea, when i got my phone i used stock for a while until after a while i decided to root and flash different ROMs. was really scared and overwhelmed by all the info on XDA at first, but after reading everything over and over again , bookmarked tons of links i picked up the courage to root and started flashing ROMS.
haven't looked back since
