Hi! Is there any ICS 4.0 ROMs for Samsung I9008L? It's a phone that I've recently bought in China and I realized that there are no official update for this phone as it's a China Mobile modified phone. If there isn't, is it possible for any pros to help make one? A search on Google shows that many users of this phone are asking for one too but to no avail, so I thought I'll ask on XDA since there are pros around. And, thanks in advance!

Hey guys and gals. Just got my S2 couple days ago and I love it, few minor issues that I would love some help on.
First of all background. This is an international S2 i9100 with firmware of
PDA: KJ1 Phone: KI4 CSC: KJ3 (TUR). (from kies)
I bought this locally here in Turkey after the frustration that my iphone4 was locked to att and my droid incredible is cdma only.
One of my biggest concerns is Android market. I do not have the Same market that i do on my HTC incredible (verizon wireless USA bought). The market that came with S2 is only for free apps and missing most of the popular free apps.
How can I get the US version of Android market.
-After googling this I found out that I needed to install market enabler on a rooted phone. Is there any other method of doing this? (flashing with UK or US based ROM?)
Even though I have owned HTC incredible for 2 years, I never customized or rooted :/ and naturally i dont have any idea whats goin on here, can anyone point me in the right direction of customizing and tweaking the s2 (would love to see what this phone can do).
Thanks in advance

I would start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134290
Read the first few posts, then look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Again read the first few posts, then at least the last 10.
Once you understand the process, go ahead and root your phone.
Then read some of the ROM threads and try any you like the look of. I like VillainROM myself. Stock with some useful tweaks
Hope this helps
Thanks for the great info. I really dont want to root until i am fully confertable with it
Do you know the issue with the android market i mentioned above? The fact that mine is very limited (due to my location, ROM?)

I think the only way to use a different version of market it by only rooting.(someone correct if i am wrong). i think what you need is an app called market enabler. and that should do the trick...any other way i am not familiar with sorry.
Here you go mate a link to give you a bit more info what i was talking about

hmm. I am a little confused by this since the HTC incredible i have has an US market working fine. (on the same wifi network as my s2)
Hey guys. I came from the Sidekick 4G and helped ROM development there. However, it was time for me to go. In lieu of this, I picked up the SGS2. Like any other user here on XDA, I want pure freedom and control of my device. However, I'm a bit confused. The picture for this category has a weird middle button, which is lacking on mine. Mine is the T-Mobile variant and I just used Kies to update to 4.0.3 official. Can someone please guide me in the right direction to root 4.0.3 ICS Official on T-Mobile? Thank-you in advance.
P.S : I tried searching, but all of the threads confused the hell out of me, and I just want a clear justified answer.
EDIT : Found a forum with the name T-Mobile Galaxy S II, thank-you for your time. Mods, please close/delete.
Just use the rooting guide by "Rachmat".Install a kernel like Siyah before/in case your going to use 4.0.4 stock.

Hi all, appologies if this is the wrong area for this question but i hope somone can help me out here.
I have the one x plus, great phone and was i really happy with jelly bean 4.1.1 (factory shipped version 2012 i beleive)
Anyway, i got the nudge for the 4.2.2 update today and thought nothing of it, i usually reasearch updates before hand but as the description only stated "improvements" and additional features to the phone i though why not...?
Well i regret doing so now, i just dont like the look or feel of it and the messaging colour schemes are nasty and no unlock pull ring......??????
Needless to say i want to revert back but the web is giving mixed info.
Can anyone tell me if its possible, i know i need to root my phone, i have done similar things to a galaxy but what im having difficulty with is actually finding the original 4.1.1 ROM for the HTX ONE X Plus.
I have the UK/EU version of the phone and could really do with a link for the FW.
If it helps my phones details are:
Software number: x.xx.401.2
CID: HTC_001
Thanks in advance guys.
Matt.
If it's just the look that you don't like there are third party launchers, lock screens, & messaging apps that will change the look out your phone. Some even have sense4 themes available.

Hi Guys, just seeking advice and possible quick answer to my question...
I have a UK Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE Variant (2Gb Ram) and I am looking for a KitKat Rom with MHL Support.
I understand I could find this information by looking through the forums but I am quite busy at the moment and any help would be appreciated.
I was a keen user of stock 4.1.2, and then moved to Omni Rom... but due to lack of MHL Support I require for my AppRadio I had to switch back to 4.1.2... and luckily not to soon later 4.3 came out for the SG3 from Samsung... but the battery drain is a lot worse than Omni Rom...
So yeh any advice guys?

maybe you should ask it in the I9305 Q&A section . what makes you assume that other people are not busy?
I got only a I9300, hence cannot point you to any rom, sorry.
I have searched this forum with no luck, so I'm asking for input. I have, and love a Galaxy s2 Skyrocket that was customized and is now a T989. Over the 3 years I've owned it, it has worked flawlessly on T-Mobile 4g. I would like to upgrade the OS. I have also purchased a factory unlock for the phone over a year ago, but never used it. Below is ther content of what I am running. My question is, or should I say are, what phone do I own, and how would you upgrade its operating system? Would you factory unlock it? I don't want a new phone as this one is a perfect size. I do appreciate any help, and if I missed where this was posted on this site, I apologize.

If this is too cpmplicated, I get it. Your time is important but I had to ask as I couldn't figure it out, and I'm pretty techy otherwise.

Just find a rom you like and install. Make sure you update the radio(http://goo.im/devs/Void_Dweller/T769-UVMB1_modem.zip) - that's for JB and newer roms for use with Tmo.
