galaxy s2 howeva in my lifespan i 've rooted many others android fones.. sorry if dis ques. is crap to u but since m completely noob n does not want tot hurt my s2 dats why asking dis question from xda members..
I have few questions:
1)Which ICS custom ROM is best for smoothest functionality for daily driver having all features and in which can handle heavy mutitasking without a hitch , does not switch off or crash automatically and has very good battery backup ?
2)can i back up my OS so that in case i need to revert back.
And finally i am a noob so details step by step procedure will be helpful

Please the sticky threads in this forum, they have the step by step instructions you require. Nobody will answer a "which is the best ROM" question as everyone has a different opinion and reason for preferring a certain ROM. All the information you need is on this website please search and read thoroughly before you start rooting your phone.
All the best.

Hey i know re ...... what is adb ... but in this post i hve to overclock using setcpu... but the max is 600mhz...
How to install flash player.....
I know it is not there but there is no way.??
There is a pretty old site called google for questions. Try it out once in a while.
Stop spamming the forums with repeated questions.
To your question about adb, I had already replied to a different post you had created yesterday. What is the point of asking the same questions again and again without checking the responses to your previous posts.
Having read 3 of the threads you have created in the last 2 days(all of them very similar), you seem like a guy out to exploit the goodwill of other users on this forum and one who is incapable of following even the simplest of instructions.
And
Please don't create a new thread asking for the expansion of 'adb'.

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

help to install ics on my galaxy ( Request update on OP)

maybe its noob ,, but if i want to install ICS on my galaxy s2 .. do i have to flash a new kernel ??
+
before installing the ICS i want to backup the current ROM thats is Stock rom "company rom"
so i think i need to flash a kernel with cwm first then do a backup .. then flash ICS kernel then installing the ICS rom ??
Look at my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625184

Root is not needed kernel is part of the firmware .
Flash a stock Samsung rom from Stock rom thread or from posted ICS roms in General via Odin .
Alternative wait for your phones upgrade via KIES or use Checkfus to download firmware .
Root is only required if you are flashing a custom firmware that requires CWM and Root and most do .
jje
After installing kies ,,, a frimware update show up ,,
now i think its better to update the frimeware throw kies right ??
and is it possible to install ics with kies ??? or i need to flash costume kernel with CWM recovery !!
thanks in advance
ok
personally I would look at Chainfire topic on easy rooting etc, or you could use SuperOneClickRoot & then install any number of custom roms from the I9100 android development section here at XDA

Ask your "mum" or your "little sister" to do it for you.
But they must remember how to unlock "your" phone.
You, sir, are full of it.

A factory reset that could have been avoided by doing the account recovery procedure provided in the other thread.... But whatever. Enjoy your new phone.

Here's another self-important precious who also thinks only nice things should be posted because it's his thread.
At least he hasn't posted a pack of lies all day.
You should learn how to concoct slightly more plausible lies - think of all the time you could have saved instead of frantically editing your other posts.
And when you're done, spelling lessons would be useful.
Then I'll behav. Shud I?

you can still be rooted = use mobile odin and check the box stay rooted and inject SU
but for your mod they will go (you can make your own mod look at my signature )
