Hi
Currently i have a samsung galaxy s2 and i been looking through the forum for the last few days for a new rom but there is so many to choose from i have no idea what the best ones are ,
I also have a few questions that im not sure about.
I am on android version 2.3.5 do i have to use a certain rom for this?
I am on gingerbreadBukI3 will there have to be a specific type of rom i will have to use that will run with with this?
Oh and im currently using cwm
Thanks in advance
I'm no expert but I have flashed dozens of roms on my s2. 2.3.5 is your version of gingerbread. You can flash any rom that is in the development section for the gti 9100 . But make sure they are for your version of s2 (not at and t or 9100g) I new nothing about flashing these roms until I read all I needed to know in the forums. (PS some developers don't appreciate us noobs asking them questions that are simple to them but difficult to us because most of the answers have already been given in older posts and we should read up first) . Main thing about flashing roms is always read the instructions on the first page of the roms thread before asking questions on the thread. Hope I helped. (Study the gt-i 9100 forums carefully before anything and it will all come to you) happy flashing and you can pm me anytime if you get stuck as I am patient

difference between android development and original development is simple. android development is roms basically with a slap on theme on it and original is well original.
read this thread here for better explanation between the two
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660
as regarding unlocking bootloaders you do not have to as it is already unlocked..all you have to do is flash a cf-root kernel from chainfires thread.
here are links to help you better

Read this: (Guide) (Beginners) You have rooted your phone, now what can you do, which can be found in the roll-up sticky in the General section.

i downloaded cwm from rom manager what next ?
anybody suggest me rom im locked bootloader
I think you might wish to avoid doing any of this.
e.g. Samsung bootloader is not locked...
Everything you need to know is already around too.

you dowloaded cwm after rooting?
better you stay away from rom manager, root with CF-root, you will get the app CWM manager with similar functions to Rom manager, will work withall the custom kernels for SGS2
Cf root
any links ??

You've been given more than enough links.
See rule #1.
Don't be lazy.
EDIT to add: I should clarify - Not I nor anyone else can tell you what you should do next to your phone. If you want to root it or otherwise modify it, the links already provided to you will (eventually) lead you to the information you seek.
You seem to be asking what people here should advise you to do to your phone. How should we know? We don't know what you want to do, or what your tastes are. Everyone likes different things. Someone's idea of a cool modification may not be my idea of a cool modification. Or yours. Understand?
you can do wat you want with it wipe your ass with it for all we care haha

just got my sgs3. i see many different posts here on roms etc. 2 questions:
1- best rom for att- sgs3 ?
2- any instructions from a-z on how to unlock and install the rom?
Wrong place...this is a development forum...this belongs finder Q +A
Blazing Galaxy S3
Don't just see them ....read them. Guides are there.

You need to do your own research and make your own decision regaring which ROM is best for you. There are stickies that cover the ROM installation procedures in General and Development. Do not post questions in Development, they belong here in Q&A.
