Yes, you can flash every rom in x10 android development.
What do you mean with "newest rom by old toturial"?

Yes
So it is posible ? I dont to brick my phone.
On psp when you flash custom firmware on official 6.XX later you can brick you psp. (its only example)
But therefore I ask.
So I can flash every x10(i) with any rom. And it's not dependent on actual rom. Yes or no ?
Sorry for my english :/

The X10's flash mode is hard coded in.. so if you set up the flashtool, you can always revert back to a stock original or branded rom. Even if you crash in the middle of rom install, you still have the ability to go back using the flash tool or SEUS repair.
Most roms are a continuing project and in different phases of it.. some are from scratch and some are ports from other phones, all roms have different abilities and perks to running them. CM7 roms give extended system tweaks, and MIUI roms are almost a totally different framework altogether, but they are very smooth.
Kernels are the linux system behind it all, some roms will wipe the original kernel and replace it.. or if you go through the amazing process of unlocking your bootloader, you can have the actual kernel itself replaced.. the perks of this are mostly for overclocking & undervolting to get better performance and/or battery life.
I find no matter which dirrection I go with a rom or kernel, it always seems to have its significant advantages.. If you run into a jam feel free to PM me and I will try and guide you in what ever your venture is, I think I have installed every rom at 1 time or another lol.. best of luck!
even if u brick it can be easily resolved to the normal state...only sometimes it becomes a big pain in a** !! else its cool to go around flashing !!!

You can depending on what the u u want to flash.
some roms require the bootloader to be unlocked, and some don't so. Be cautious if not the phone will get. Stuck in a boot loop, in se logo.

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.

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
Rubbish. Opinion is one thing, misinformation is another :-|

Right. Because touchwiz is a lot sexier? Please. The miui themes are beautiful. Even stock looks stunning. But hey, I heard kids love the cartoonish look if touchwiz.

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
Have been drawn towards MiniCMSandwich for my Xperia Mini Pro as would love features of ICS on my phone
However, was thinking of all ROMS and thought maybe there was a better ROM for me? Of course, one of the most popular in CM7 but would it work for me? I want ideally the menu etc of ICS as well of the reported speed of it but which ROM will give me that?
Secondly wanted to ask about Flashing. On the Wotanserver website I have seen I can flash to 4.0.2........ but what problems would that have? Or would it be better than the MiniCM ROM?
Or should I just wait until SE release the official update in 2 months?
Thanks
Your phone already has 4.0.2.A.0.xx update. Just check in Settings-About Phone. WotanServer offers stock firmware and kernel for all 2011 Xperia phones(and lots others). You can use it to restore your phone to fully stock system if you need it, like when ICS comes out, then you need to have fully stock.
Hybrom is currently stock-based and stable with lots of customization.
Most other custom ROMs(MiniCM, CM7, CM9 etc) have quite lots of bugs, but you need to read the ROM's topic to find these out.
I have Live with Walkman myself, so I am not aware for another phones.
You can try out different ROMs, install one, try for some time, if you don't like it, install another one etc.
Custom ROMs will require custom kernel also(some of these include self, some don't) and unlocked bootloader(if you do that, stay away from OTA updates, else you will brick your phone). Don't forget these
If you decide to stay on stock ROM, get it rooted(you can read my tutorial, if you need help with it) and get rid of some unneeded system apps. Also, then you can yourself customize it as much as you want.

Thank you for that. When you say my phone has the 4.0.2 update available does that mean I can get all the features of ICS? So the menu/home screen etc?
In your opinion, would you say that you should go for a Custom MiniCMSandwich, or then wait until June and get the official 4.0 update from SE?
Or am I misunerstanding and is ICS with all features already available for my XMP?
Thanks

No, it is Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but 4.0.2.A.0.xx is a version number for Gingerbread update. ICS is not released yet.
I haven't tested MiniCMSandwich myself, haven't had time nor interest. Also, I have a Live with Walkman, which means some parts are not working on this ROM at the moment(from what I have read).
I use a MIUI ROM(link in my signature, click the ROM name), but this version is only for Live with Walkman. At least it works fine for me, only some small bugs that are not a problem for me.

Hmmmmm... Not sure now whether to stick with 2.3 for now then go for the proper ICS update later in June or get ICS now with a few little bugs.
The MIUI ROM for XMP has quite a few problems such as data not working so don't think that is an option for me
Any other ICS ROMS or is that it?

MIUI is ICS based, even though it's visual part and some other stuff are completely different.
for gingerbread i would definitely recommend Hybrom v16, completely stable, lighting fast, really good package.
for ICS: MiniCMsandwich by Kamarush, works really well, not as stable as Hybrom, but for ICS very acceptable.
any custom rom is better than stock, the least would be a rooted stock to get rid of all the bloatware, that really helps with speed AND battery.

List of safe-to-remove apps
I had stock till 4 days back. I Unlocked bootloader and first rom i tried was MiniCMSandwhich and then others one by one and finally came back to MiniCM.
Have some gyro sensor problems(cannot play games) but have not experienced other bugs. It is highly stable ICS rom for XM.
I recommend you to try it.
quick question,
basically what are the benifits of custom roms compared to stock kies roms ?
i currently have rr 2.2 rom but appart from the looks and animations etc.. is there a difference in performance/ battery compared to stock?
its been a while sinse i have been on stock so i cant remember what it was like and i just wanted to know are custom roms more better in terms or speed/battery/power etc..

custom rom do come with there own pro's and con's u have to check the changelog of that rom to see whats different in it also some apps which do require root previlage wrks fine with custom roms rather than stock one's
stock roms do have better batt life compared 2 custom ones at the cost of customization with there dull and boring looks
thanks for your reply i guess its just finding the correct balance between customization and battery life then. cheers
go with custom
I had the exact same thoughts when i first decided to flash a custom rom.
Personally i would now flash a custom rom at the drop of a hat, however as the previous comment said there are pros and cons.
do some research on roms with functionality that you require and you'll find one you want to flash no doubt.
hope i helped
i am now running CM9 and its so smooth and looks amazing, a millions times better than stock in almost every way!
Check out the ROM and the comments which people have wrote. Some of them may be good and others may be bad.. you'll be able to work out the missing features of the custom rom bother you or not ^__^ That's how I work out whether to install the ROM XD Most ICS ROM's have their benefits and cons, Gingerbread would be considered the most stable Hope this helps you

Highly customizable. You can overclock, undervolt, theme, use different launchers. To me they're faster too.

What about if I install a custom kernel, but keep my stock rom? Is there any benefit at all?
To clarify: I'm on i19100 4.0.3 which I've recently rooted. Thinking of installing Siyah 3.5.2 but for now I want to keep my stock (Bell) ROM. What do I stand to gain when I get the Siyah kernel, if anything? Or is the kernel really *only* just a prerequisite to get a custom ROM?
Thanks!

But there's already no brick bug on 4.0.3 right? So... what exactly would I gain with the Siyah kernel?
The only thing I can think of is CPU/kernel modding

One BIG reason I'm on stock ROM and KERNEL is that currently no custom Kernel supports MHL (please correct me if I'm wrong)
For me this is a big problem as I'm always watching movies and playing games on my TV with my phone

It's the ROM, not the kernel, that determines if MHL fully works.
Apparently video works with AOSP, but not full mirror of the display.
However, if you want full mirroring, you'll need to be on a stock Samsung based ROM.
That said, you can still run a custom kernel, such as Siyah or SpeedMod, and MHL will still work as long as you remain on the Samsung based ROM.
I'm currently running stock XWLPX with Siyah 4.1.4, and MHL works fully for me.

Difficult because of the locked bootloader. I would just stay on stock rom and remove the crap. A list for apps which can be uninstalled without risk can be found somewhere here in the forum.
If you want to run a custom rom, you could try a MIUI rom, but there are still some bugs and stock gingerbread firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 or .69 is a nice rom, too and there are less bugs. If you want a different theme maybe use a launcher (holo launcher for ics/jb feeling, miui launcher for miui, go launcher with multiple themes, maybe you could use Launcher 7 for windows mobile screen, just what you want)
if you want better gaming performance is gingerbread, but if you want full ics look although I tried several games ics and work well without lag, but nothing compared to the smoothness of gingerbread is my opinion :highfive:

Gb is good have more performance. But in ics your performance will get lower bit
"Don't judge a book by it's cover" - Unknown

I have bought this phone that i can be upgraded but when upgrade came many said that it is not good to upgrade so wat is the use of upgrade if it doeds not work smoothly like this company say that there phone is upgradable.

Sorry for English !
If i can i will stay to GB , but i have update to ICS and i have some bugs... Main bug is that i broke my camera , now i have a worst camera in the world . I downgrade but it still have the camera bug , so don't update , stay to .62
better stick with GB, but if u want u can try upgrade to ICS or custom ICS rom and if u feel not good for u, u can always downgrade to GB with flashtool
First of all: about ics:
It has a nice ui and is smooth
But Performance is bader:
In ICS battery is draininge 2-4 percent per hour (Standby)
In gb battery is draining Max. 0.5 percent per hour (Standby)
GB runs much faster and smoother without lags,You can almost play every game with gb in ics Games are laggy and gaming is Not comfortable
You can Try my Rom if You wan See signature its for locked bootloader so You want lose warranty

Latest is 4.0.2.A.0.62 and it should be available ota (=over the air). Just start update center and search for the update, you should find it (if you aren't currently on .62!)
Only do that if you have a locked bootloader (*#*#7378423#*#*>service info > configuration > Rooting status > bootloader unlocked allowed: yes/no)

You should be able to flash a new one with flashtool, but I don't know if flashing a WT19i on WT19a is clever, cause the difference is baseband related?! (Correct me if that's wrong)
Here you can find a 4.0.2.A.0.58, that could be the latest. But I don't know on which you are currently on, cause I don't know the 4.0.1.A.0.238, but I guess it's older. I think you should be able to root (cause it's gingerbead) it easily, if you want. For that look in my signature
Edit:: Does anybody know which is later? 4.0.2.A.0.58 or 4.0.1.A.0.238. Maybe you are on the latest firmware for your device!
If you wanna root, you will have to downgrade to .58. How to do that is in my rooting guide
I have ICS .587 works perfect, the only detail is with all 2011 and is the LED, this does not turn the screen off, but in performance I work very well, plus is very fluid and battery life more. I recommend you to use the better flow of Serajr Home
