I have been looking at the Omega V13 ROM and really fancy trying it out.
Do I simply place the download ZIP file onto my sd card and install from Recovery?
I had originally un-zipped the file and placed the folders in my phone, but Recovery didn't find any update files...
Am I being an idiot?
Thanks in advance.

Just a quick tip, you do need to be rooted and already flashed a custom kernel to get CWM to flash that zip in recovery. I suggest you do A LOT more reading before doing ANYTHING..... Sorry if you know all this already, from your post I would say make sure you read all you can and understand what you're before doing it.... GL

If I were you I would NOT do ANYTHING till you understand what you're doing.... There is so much to learn and it takes time to learn...

Just remember it's not cool to have a phone that doesn't work.... Once you get it all figured out flash your first custom kernel in Mobile Odin so you don't trip the flash counter... The free XDA v is in that link......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

Thanks for the reply mate, but despite my noob question regarding this particular ROM, I have flashed/modded my phone a number of times. I have tried the Resurrection ROM, plus a couple of others in the past. The confusion in me arose because every other ROM I'd tried used Odin, whereas this is my first through Recovery.
Thanks again.

And with that, GL enjoy your new ROM!!!
That's fair enough dude
Generally instructions on how to install are on the first page of the thread. In general you have to do:
Full Wipe/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from SD (or internal memory)
WARNING: You will lost all your phone numbers, wifi passwords, SMS, game levels and data you dont back up. I recommend using Titanium backup for those matters & SMS backup app. Anyway just in case do a backup of anything important you wish to keep.
Well, I've tested a few ROM's this evening and have stuck with Resurrection Remix (4.0.4).
Have to say that I love it thus far!
Thanks for your responses guys.

Hello.
I have just got this phone few days ago.
I am intrested in installing CM9, but i have few questions. If i have understood correctly, I need to install leaked ics before installing cm9 (or any other ics rom). Can this be done with mobile odin, and if can, am I able to keep the root with it? (It has function to keep root)
Also, does cm9 support usb otg? There was no result when i tried to search.
Sorry if these are stupid questions.

if you are already rooted which i gather you are just flash the latest nightly. then flash the last google apps and that is it job done. you can flash all those from recovery.
Make sure you back up your current rom and apps and then go ahead and do full wipe. Data - cache - and dalvik and also format system in mount and storage. Flash the above two i mentioned and that should be it.
Regarding the usb - otg not sure but you can ask in the discussion thread
EDIT: i went from checkrom v6 straight to cm9 if that helps.
No. You don't need to install leaked ICS first. I tried CM9 over the weekend & flashed CM7 first. Follow the instructions on the first page of the CM9 discussion thread & you'll be fine.
If you use the files linked to in the first post in the CM9 thread, they're CWM flashable, so you'll need to have a kernel installed that has CWM in order to flash them. CFRoot kernel will do just fine if your phone isn't already rooted with a kernel that has CWM. There might be Odin flashable files around somewhere, you might have to search for them.
It is rooted, yes. Does it support USB OTG ? Good question. That's one thing I do use a bit on GB & forgot to test when I used CM9. Given USB file transfer doesn't work yet, I doubt it. But ask in the CM9 discussion thread or read the FAQS/Wiki.
So in summary, given you haven't done anything to your phone yet:-
1) Root it with a CFRoot kernel
2) Go to the CM9 discussion thread & follow the install instructions in the first post.

True but once you get the hang of things and how things work with the s2 it is a piece of cake..But i must admit sometimes i get scared on what to do specially if i have to unroot and root again as i have only done it a few times...Once i stayed rooted that is it...i do all my upgrading by flashing custom roms. anyway good luck with cm9 you will not regret using it..let me know how you get on
Haha ;-) You Sir are a noble man
OP - Yep, S is right. CM9 is a very nice piece of work given they've only had leaks & their own considerable hacking talents to work with. It's not quite a 'daily driver' for me at this point, but once sources come out I'll be switching back to it post haste. I'd be surprised if the CM team don't have a stable ICS release long before other devs.

Okay got CM9 up and running. It feels nice. Gapps and face unlock installed. Thank you once more.
This is my first post. I have read the FAQ section and I spent some time with the beloved search bar. No luck so far.
I am a noob so I want to say thanks in advance to anyone/everyone willing to evan glance at this post let alone lend a hand..
I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy SII (AT&T) and appears to be working fine until I install any custom rom. When I do so and reboot the phone the boot animation will begin but then hang on both ROM's I have tried.
Ive made sure to create a buckup of my phone after root so both times I just reverted to the backup.
So far I have tried resurrection & AOKP ICS ROM..
I am running 2.3.6..
Feel like Im so close but yet so far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Have you done a complete wipe prior to flashing? That is usually the problem.

The first boot usually takes a bit of time. How long did you wait? Also, full wipe. Thai should be all you need to do.

Nick is correct you really need to figure it out as it is necessary for flashing anything.
But in cwm wipe data/factory reset option is the one you need to complete prior to flashing any rom

Assuming you're using CWM Recovery to flash, you should be able to find Wipe Data/Factory Reset option there. If not, you might want to follow this:

Well, just follow the exact instructions the developers give when you flash something And always make a Nandroid back up first.
Furthermore: check for which phone models the roms etc. are (I9100 or anything else you have), to avoid flashing something bad.
If you're afraid for the eMMC brickbug: read the threads that are made for it for info about that.
Sent from the Matrix
The emmc brick bug only happens on stock kernel when wipe data is selected just flash any other kernel before doing anything else and then your safe. Don't flash a ROM for any other phone including the i9100G double check before flash the file name is usually .............i9100
Honestly ? Don't flash anything in the first place. Leave your phone stock & enjoy using it.
If the thought of breaking it frightens you, leave it alone.
Nandriod backup can't save you from hard brick. RTFM (or thread) is the only safe path if you can't stop the hacking itch, and don't be a hero to be the first one to try something new like leaked ROM. Good luck.

Hi guys,
First of all thank you for all the awesome tips and tricks here, I really learned a lot from the community.
I have a samsung i9305 which I recently purchased to replace my i9300.
I downloaded super su and busy box to my phone but then they didn't work because my phone wasn't rooted (stupid me, i forgot)
so I tried rooting it using this method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394
and followed each and every instruction perfectly but then my phone wasn't getting rooted (checked on rootchecker basic, although settings stated that my device is modified and triangle counter is 2)
so i did it twice but I still got the same result.
Then I tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
And I thought it worked properly (since when my phone booted up it said that it was updating the OS)
but then my super su installation was gone and every time I try to open root checker it just gets stuck on the (your system appears to be slow...) and it never finishes checking. Also, sometimes the apps won't open.
Can anyone help me with this issue? I don't want to break/brick this new phone. :crying:
I'm currently downloading the original firmware and im hoping to unroot it by flashing it via odin later. But it's a zip file right and we need the .md5 thing to flash on odin? how do i flash it?
I hope you can help me out and I'm really sorry for the hassle.
Thanks in advance for the help.

No, you can't use Odin to flash Slim. But you know what you can use XDA for? Reading. I'm sorry, but spoonfeeding is against XDA rules. Read up & flash slimbean. First you want a custom recovery & root, from there all you have to do is download the ROM and flash it according to the instructions in Slim OP. I'm not saying any more.

Good to hear.
The reason that everything looks small is that it's not standard dpi. Slim has default 182 dpi, stock is 240 dpi. You can change it, go to settings>interface>LCD density. Follow what it says there, the instructions work great there.
