Hi I've bought myself the SGS2 (non-G version).
now, to root, do I use the method here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
and let's say i have rooted it using CF-root 5.2, do I just pick a ROM and start flashing them? Or do I proceed to flash a Custom Kernel first before the ROM?
Anyway, I noticed that there are 2 sections for the SGS2G and the SGS2 (non-G). Which ROMS do I select from and are the ROMS variant dependent? means if I have the non-G version, I cannot install a ROM from the SGS2 Original section? A little help please! So sorry for being a noob.
Yes follow those rooting instructions, after the phone is rooted download a rom and copy it to your phone then flash it via cmw or manually via recovery mode, reboot while holding power, home and volume up.
Personally I recommend bezke UltraIcs, using it without issue

1st thing you do: read, read, read.
You can use whatever root method you feel comfortable with. I've used CF-Root, Odia's insecure kernels, SuperOneClick, and flashing Siyah kernel. They all work fine.

Most ROMs come with their own kernels, so if you flash a custom kernel, then a ROM, then the kernel that came with the ROM will overwrite whatever custom kernel you flashed first.

What 2 sections do you mean? The Galaxy S II Original Android Development, and the Galaxy S II Android Development forums?
It's important to note that these are not G and non-G. Original means developed from the ground up. (think CyanogenMod) The non-original generally means derivative from another ROM - usually stock.
I9100G ROMs are scattered throughout the I9100 forums, because there is currently no separate forum for the I9100G. The post title for these ROMs should always note that they are for the I9100G instead of the I9100 though. As long as you follow my suggestion for 1st of all above, you should be fine.
If you have the i9100g choose the roms that clearly indicates i9100G only in title, otherwise it should work just fine for i9100. Roms in original development indicate roms built completely by the developer hence the original. The Android development roms are roms that could be based off of someone else' rom or similar. You can flash roms from either section.
Just make sure to properly flash them and never forget to make a backup.

Please be aware that though simbesh said he is using it without issues, ICS is NOT officially released. Some users have issues with ICS ROMs that others use with absolutely no problems.
As Kaze105 said, ALWAYS make sure you make a backup before you flash. (in case you need to go back)

I am on stock XXKI3, which is 2.3.5, with Siyah Kernel 2.6.4. There are newer firmwares, and newer versions of Siyah, but I feel no need to upgrade as of now. I've modded my firmware myself pretty heavily, and prefer to do all the tweaks myself. Helps me understand how my phone works better.
If you're interested in a kernel that will help with battery, look at SpeedMod, then maybe Siyah. SpeedMod users swear by their battery life. I use Siyah because it has more features, and has more customization. But it's a preference thing.

Yes, should be. Though be careful - flashing some kernels automatically installs certain versions of CWM. If your backup is made in a different version of CWM than what you are trying to restore from, it may not work.

seems pretty interesting the way you mod your phone! and by modding the phone yourself, you mean you take apart tweaks from different ROMs and install them in your phone? I hope im not imposing but do you mind sharing with me the tweaks that you have done to your stock rom? i might do the same if the ICS rom doesn't work the way i want it to.

The more involved mods I have are:
Phone.apk tweaked to have Noise Reduction off by default in phone calls
Battery icon with % in status bar
CRT-off animation on screen off
Rotation animation in UI
The first three involved decompiling the files involved, editing the files, and recompiling. The rotation animation involved downloading some files that another kind soul posted that were from the Galaxy Note and installing them on my phone in place of the files that were already there. All require root. You can find all of these in the forums with a search...
Wow. I just hit 500 posts. Crazy.

The first three I think are build dependent. Some people have tried different versions on other firmwares and had some success, but others, not so much.
The rotation animation one, I'm not sure about.
Hi I just recently unlocked and rooted my rezound and am looking to install a custom rom. There are so many ICS roms out there and I find it hard to sort through them and find the best one. I would like to know: Which ICS Rom is the most stable, which ICS Rom is de-sensed the most, if the rom updates the mainversion, and which ICS kernel is the best (and where to download it. Thank you for your help!
All the Devs list bugs in the first post of the from thread so read that carefully before flashing anything.
For stable....I would run Clean Rom ICS by Scrosler or Nils Business ICS if you want full-sense stable along with a bit of the theming done.
As for Senseless...I have been running NewtoRoots Senseless and it has been running awesome for me. The main issue is inability of sending/receiving MMS but I'm using GOsms in the meantime until that is fixed. One of the users packaged the rom to flash the kernel as well if you're not all that comfortable using fast boot right now. In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22435498
Most of the ICS roms will update your main version unless you flash the kernel (boot.king) via fastboot. There is a how to in the Dev section to revise you main version if you wish to go back to GB.

Thanks for your help! I was actually considering flashing newtoroot's senseless, but just wanted to see if any other roms were any good as well. I will probably flash senseless tomorrow. So when I download the rom, it will automatically flash the kernel, right?

Yes they will supply the kernel also. Some devs include it in the rom zip, others have it as a seperate dowload. You wil have to read the first couple posts in the thread to see what it says. Follow the directions of the dev is the best advice.

Hi. I have decided to upgrade my samsung galaxy s2 with miui. Since this is my first time flashing an android device I have a couple of questions.
Firstly, is there a reason why I shouldnt install miui on my phone aside from the void warrancy?
#do I get the warrancy back if I unroot and unflash before I take my device to the service?
Next, i have read that i need to root the device first, before i can install miui. Is that true?
#which kernel should I use for that?
I have heard that siyahkernel Is the best. But on the xda thread it says it isnt compatible with any ICS roms. Will it work with miui 4? Is this thread a root at all? I can only assume it is because it has cpu/gpu oc/uc and ov options...
Also, cfroot Has a big and detailed thread. But this one does not support rom manager. I'd need to use cwm for flashing. Is this a problem?
So with which kernel do I go?
No, use a jig too.
Use Cfroot.
What? You don't need rom manager, not sure what you're getting at here.
I'd recommend using a gingerbread version of miui as it's your first time. Gb is stable, ics isn't 100% there yet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Good choice going with miui, however I wouldn't use the ics versions at the moment as they are buggy. I would personally recommend wiui latest gingerbread version as it is stable as hell and works with siyah.

Thanks for the reply. But:
Whats a jih?
MIUI install guide (miuiandroid(dot)com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/) says to use ROM manager. But I suppose cwm does the same thing.
I've read somewhere that the last sgs2 miui version is based on official 4.0.3 samsung files. Shouldn't that mean that there are no bugs aside from the ones which are also found on samsung update channels?
I really mainly want miui because of ics, and chrome browser. I have no interest in voiding my warrancy so I can stay on gingerbread. The better UI simply isn't worth it. So you suggest I wait for official samsung updates? (I do want the better UI...)
Thanks for the reply!
Cheers
No, miui ics introduces several bugs of its own despite being based on samsung rom.

A jig resets your "Custom binary counter", the thing that counts how many times you've flashed a rom/kernel/whatever. Samsung will see its above 0 and may, or may not, said that your warranty is still void.
If you're really that desperate for ics, go for it. Just make a Nandroid backup with CWM incase you don't like it.
No, it's still buggy, but it is still really good & can be used as a daily rom, I would think.

I wouldn't say that I am desperate for ics, but I am pretty sure I will install miui at one time anway. I don't like the cartoonish icons of touchwiz. The question I think right now is, whether I install ICS right now, or should I wait for ICS to become availabe on KIES and install miui later. (I suppose they'll fix the remaining bugs than)
Also, does anyone suggest a different rom than miui, which is better for some reason? I like eyecandy, but I do want performace as well.
Thanks for your answers.
Cheers
Edit:
If I do upgrade to ics and miui. All I have to do is root it with cfroot and use cwm to do a nandroid backup, and than use cwm to install miui 2.3.16?

If you're not desperate then flash miui 2.3.9. Best rom I've ever used.
MIUI is already rooted. Just root whatever you're on now, make a Nandroid backup of that, and then flash miui. Btw, once you're on miui you'll never turn back

Fair enough.
The thread title does however confuse me:
MIUI ROM 2.3.9 Releases [GB] & [ICS ENGLISH FULL]
miuiandroid(dot)com/community/threads/miui-rom-2-3-9-releases-gb-ics-english-full.15662/
So miui 2.3.9 for sgs2 is gb based. If i understand correctly than I have to download from this thread. But isn't installing old versions dumb? Or is 2.3.16 a major jump which introduces new bugs?
Edit:
Okay as far as I understand 2.3.9 is GB and 2.3.16 is ICS. 2.3.9 works very good while 2.3.16 is laggy.
So to get this straight:
I want to install miui 2.3.9-- The steps are:
update to latest version. (i have dukg2 i'll go to kj3)
root with cfroot
backup with nandroid
system wipe, galvik wipe, cache wipe
install miui rom with cwm
???
This is it?
Edit2:
Is there a way to store my defender savegame?
Edit3:
I have read that siyah kernel is very fast. How do i install that kernel?
Do I do all the steps liste above, and than when I am done installing miui install siyah kernel?
Turns out siyah has NTFS usb OTG feature. I now really want siyah.

Before i got samsung galaxy s2 I had a nokia 5800 for 3 years. It was like switching from a sedan to formula 1. I am still so impressed by the power of SGS2 that some minor performance improovements aren't important. Not yet at least...
Thus I am looking for eyecandy (since i can't get ICS and chrome just yet). Which as I've hear MIUI is best at.
Besides, there's no link in your sig. Otherwise i'd love to take a look at that rom. What does miui lack at btw?

Look in xda sgs2 forum is 20 normals rom and 2 miui, you can change what kernel you want, what theme you want, coz almost all is compatible each others. For miui you need special kernel, special theme, etc. Don`t wasting you time using miui

Big banner that says "SlimROM by krinyo75"... not visible on xda's app. Skinny, fast, monochrome - the way I like it (yes, I tried BAT)
What does miui lack:
- installed adfree, still got many ads.
- sammy's stock browser is so much better than MIUI's
- camera is nowhere near good enough
- flaky GPS
- laggy music player (tried it first on my SGS waybackwhen, still no better)
- limited kernel choice
- all phone numbers hyphenated after 3 digits
- don't want workarounds for an app drawer - I want an app drawer, period
Sure some of these sound petty, but horses for courses... since MIUI v4 will be based on Samsung's framework and kernel sources are now released, I'll try it again when it's done.
One thing I love about MIUI - only non-3rd party contacts app I've seen with a list view - no photos, no stupid icon next to contact name.

Hey guys. Looking for an opinion on what's a stable ROM to install on my nook 16gb tablet. I'm running a year old or longer ROM from demetris.... runs good still. But wanting to update. Needs to have good battery life, be compatable with most apps/games. And stable. No crashing. I'm thinking about slim ROM... as it seems the newest from him. But open to suggestions. Cyacongen mod nightleys look buggy from comments I read.

I highly recommend Succulent's modified CM10.1 based ROM. It has Tablet UI option, 1.2GHz default CPU freq, and Goo manager pre-installed. Many of the useless apps have also been removed.
Here's the link. Make sure you have CWM 6.xx installed or you might have trouble installing newer ROMs.

I'm running Cyanogenmod Acclaim 10.1.2 Stable release. It is simply perfect. I have it installed on emmc (internal). It is fast, gives me extraordinary battery life (standy for almost a full week!), and since it is Android 4.2.2, it is compatible with nearly everything. Mic works fine, audio and video playback is excellent. Overall, I'm thrilled with this ROM.
Well... acclaim 10.1.2 stable sounds like what I'm looking for then. You have me sold.

After Nook (I got the 250 model, 16GB) is rooted with CWM, do I just download above, rename it to update.zip, and then place it SD card, and then reflash it? Is that all?
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but I only flashed a single Samsung device in the past, over a year ago, and I just want to make sure things are the same with Nook.
I don't mind 4.1 or 4.2, as long as it works smooth with no major drawbacks, and google play runs fine, it's just for the kids to get some games and watch some movies.
In reference to CWM version, I downloaded CWM_SD_flash_and_exe from one of the links here, how do I make sure I got the correct CWM version to avoid problems flashing?

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123 for pointers on how to flash custom ROM internally on emmc. In addition to ROM zip file you'll need Gapps zip file from http://goo.im/gapps.
If you plan to use official 10.1.3 build, you'll need to separately flash CWM using, e.g., flashable_CWM_6.0.2.8.zip from Succulent's recovery repository http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery.

Thank you, this is really a lot of information to process, I agree that I need to read more, which I thought I did.
I figured out the cwm part, very straight forward once the card is partitioned properly (never had to deal with partitioning in Samsung) this makes it is rooted. After that all hell breaks lose, is it supposed to be really that complicated with so many steps?
I was so confident that once CWM is on the SD, processed & roots the Nook, we can just run update.exe with CM 10.1.3 and that would be it. :silly:

Kernel question
Hi there,
I am reading from some time threads and threads about the Atrix roms and kernels and since I am finding Android 2.3.4 (yes, still on GB) more and more limited in terms of supported apps I finally decided to make the big move.
I have chosen this ROM and I am currently making up my TODO list: I have the root, I will unlock the bootloader and then I will probably install CWM recovery and then switch the ROM.
I have just one question: I found a lot of threads and articles all around the web talking about how to switch ROM but not how to switch the kernel. Is that because each ROM comes with a bundled kernel and the procedure is the same for both?
It seems to be because I looked at the list of files and folders of one kernel I downloaded and it seems to be just a subset of the files in one of ROMs I downloaded...
P.S. Also, where can I find the Gapps? I found them in the website of CWM, is that ok?
I hope I am not wrong and I hope I will find some support if needed in the next days!
Many thanks

If you chose to switch ROMs to a non Moto ROM, then you will have to install CWM, there is no probably about it. As far as CWM goes, if you are going to go with AtrICS, CM9, CM10, CM10.1, or CM10.2, your best bet would be to go with the recovery from the link found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 seeing as it does cover all partitions and the previously listed ROMs do utilize the webtop partition. If you are going to go with CM11, best bet would be to follow Z's instructions in his thread
AtrICS, CM9, CM10, and CM10.1 have 2 main kernels that they have used, the 2.x kernel and the 3.1 kernel. the 2.x kernel is outdated, and only a handful of ppl still use those versions of the ROM. The 3.1 kernel is ROMs, its more like a kernel update rather than a switching. The link to the kernel updates is here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/npbgtozd4w0ahiv/VIA6JjSf4l and you simply just flash the kernel that corresponds with your ROM via CWM. CM11 kernel updates have come in each of the releases, along with the ones here for v3 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1w47t4vofyiwveb/AAAyK69Lv3z3oSgGI4Qoh9nha?dl=0
I'm a little confused on where you are getting these Gapps from CWM's website. I've been on there many times including now and I see no mention of any Gapps. As far as Gapps go, you need to use the one that matches up with your ROM version.

Hello,
I was referring to this link (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/developers/olympus?name=Motorola Atrix 4G). The last element is about Google Apps if I am not wrong...
I did it by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
But I am missing the Gapps, is there any recommended version for the Gapps on this ROM and where can I find them?
Thank you very much in advance.

Push power button twice might wake it up. I haven't been back on 4.2 lately b/c of the 4.4.4 builds.

I solved my camera issue by cleaning gallery data ( it worked ? ).
I tried waking it up with pressing power button multiiple times ( it didn't work) and by pressing volume buttons ( I enabled it in settings ) but
it didn't work.
I am using this rom : LINK
Thank you !!
Download ? Where ?

Besides asking someone to reupload it on their G Drive or something, no.
