Without having to rifle through 1000 threads/posts......can someone tell me if the i9100 is plagued by the same problems as the T989 version of this phone on JB roms having SoDs and RR's?
I currently have the T989 and have yet to find a JB Rom that does not give me RR's.....I have purchased an i9100 for my wife and would like to know if it is worth it to put a JB Rom on it or just stick with ICS.
TIA

I have been using CM9 and CM10 on and off since early birds and have never had a SOD or a RR (whatever an RR is).

I have been using JB roms (RR 3.0.9, Revolt 2.5) for over a month now without any issues. The only problem with AOKP / CM 10 based JB roms is that the phone might start lagging and you might need to restart it. Not all users have faced this problem though. I would highly recommend going with a JB rom

Thanks for the recommendation I will check it out.
Nowhere was I asking a "what is the best" type of question, I was asking if the i9100 suffered from the same Random Reboots and Sleep of Death problems that the T989 suffers from with the CM10 based JB Roms or not....if they do I would stick with an ICS based ROM in the meantime.
Tried looking through a few posts in some of the JB rom threads but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.....guessing if ppl over here at the i9100 forum are not knowing what an RR is that this phone does not have these issues which is a good thing in my books cuz it's a royal PITA when the phone reboots in the middle of a call .

RR = Random Reboots (as stated in the above reply)
RootBox v2.9 & Dori v7.3 MALI
I am running on revolt 2.5 and it is my favorite JB rom so far. I ve tried others, but always went back to it. But you should definitely put a custom rom on it, as others have said already. I tried going back to ICS roms and it was just smoother in general with JB

Hello,
3 weeks ago,I got a GT-19100G galaxy s2.Pretty happy with it,everything is great except for TW of course So I need advice at whether I should get the official ICS update when its released in march(also thinking about giving the LB leak a try) which will use TW as far as I know or root my phone and flash the CM9 and get andy's costum ICS.Andy's ICS looks pretty nice but I don't wanna root my phone specially that I never rooted any device before(my previous device was nokia n81 8gb LOL).Or maybe I should just wait for the official release and get some sort of ICS themes or something.I'm currently running Android 2.3.6 baseband I9100GDZKK1 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.So what ya think ?
root..flash CM9..after ICS offiaclly released..flash back stock rom and get OTA..easy right??
Would be easy if I knew what the hell is OTA
Edit:Oh,I googled it.Its over the air.Well,why would I root it if I will flash back stock ROM again in 2 weeks ?
Personal view would be wait for ICS then wait for the modders to mod the official release .

I was thinking about that too...I think I'll just do that But just to be on the safe side,is it completely safe to root my phone and install CM9 ? Bcuz my phone is new and if anything happened to it,I'll kill myself.
FYI, the i9100G is not the i9100, therefore ICS leaks and CM9 will not work in your phone. If you do flash CM9 or one of the leaks your phone will be damaged. The i9100G is sort of crippled ROM developement wise from the start due to it's lack of Exynos in favour of some old TI-OMAP. Your only choice is to wait for Samsung to released ICS for your phone.

IIRC, there is only one ROM available for your phone and that is SuperROM (Android 2.0.3). All other ROMs will brick your phone.
That's right. You can only install custom roms that are specifically written for the I9100G. And there aren't many of them. Someone on here said a couple of weeks ago that there are two (don't quote me on it tho).
If you flash a rom meant for any other SGS2 variant, as Xethor said, you run the risk of bricking your phone.

Damn...I had to get it since its the only S2 version available here.Why samsung ? Why would u make different versions of galaxy s2 ??!!! :/ Well I guess I'll just have to depend on launchers.I got Go launcher EX,launcher7 and ADWLauncher.If you by any chance know a nice ICS theme,can u give me the market link ?
At first I also didn't knew the difference between I9100 and I9100G. I bricked my phone by flashing one of the I9100 ROM. Then I figured it out, unbricked it again. And now i'm running SuperROM with ICS Domination v2.0 theme.
I9100G sucks big time, both in hardware and software.
Only four ROM's are available for 'G' variant:
SuperROM
Juffo ROM
Galaxyrom rc4
Darky ROM
Can't believe it took 6 replies for someone to point out to the OP that the G version is different to the International model. Lucky he didn't brick it. So glad the T version is the same except it requires its own modem.

Which roms for i777 are android 4.0.4 ?
I am having problem with ICS roms freeze and reboot when connected for about 15 ~ 20 min to Sony cat stereo via bluetooth.
Found out that there are several other people having same problem on i9100 and apparently only 4.0.3 based roms are causing problem. Fixed by installing 4.0.4 rom.
Now, I'm trying to find rom for i777 with android 4.0.4, but I only see "F1 GalaxyNexus Pure Galaxy Experience." I am having hard time installing it because it gives me error.
Are they any other rom with 4.0.4 ?
Otherwise, I will have to go back to gingerbread.

I'm sure there are several roms with 4.0.4, but most of the roms doesn't really show which version it has.

Tried FoxHound and AOKP.
I did not like both. I think I just am too used to TouchWiz and other samsung applications.
I just feel AOKP is not as easy to use.
Going back to Gingerbread for now. Wasted too much time on trying to make ICS work.
Let me know if there is any android 4.0.4 with close to stock feel. (TouchWiz)

If you are a power user, and take advantage of the extra features that something like aokp offers, you
Would appreciate it. If you just want something simple then yes stock is for you. Really it's personal preference. Good luck.

I don't remember or know for sure which TW-based ROM with ICS 4.04, search in the dev. section. If don't like them all, there should be an easy way to update the AT&T official ICS 4.0.4 ROM. All you have to do is flashing/re-flashing the stock ROM 4 times.
Note: you must perform it right at 4:04 for it to work though.

Ah I see.
I have settled with AOKP with APEX Launcher for now.
I still like TouchWiz better. It does lack advanced features of AOKP, but then I don't really need advanced features.
Hope official 4.0.4 comes out soon. (Unlikely, but one can hope..)

Well, I think there's a way in which we can eventually get a 4.0.4 sammy based rom on our i777.
See, if you go thru latest news on i9100's forum , you'll see that official 4.0.4 has been released for them.. so if we get a custom kernel (maybe siyah or Neak) that can support 4.0.4 for our phone.. then one can easily hailraise the i9100 4.0.4 based rom without much hustle...
but, it'd take few more days for this as custom roms based on 4.0.4 for i9100 are also not out yet.. nor many supported kernels.. but it definately would...
Hope this helps !!!

He was talking about official 4.0.4 and the answer is no. There will NOT be an official 4.0.4 for this device. They barely came out with 4.0.3 so its highly unlikely another release will happen

Well.. I never said that 4.0.4 is coming for i777 . I just said that there is a way to have almost exact experience with the way I mentioned and I'm not wrong there to answer his queries.
And as I recall, XDA is all about making things happen, if they are not gonna be done officially, doesn't it ???
Hi All
Does anyone know of a working Kernel out atm for 4.0.4 Samsung roms as I need a kernel to release my ROM and since Mr. Siyah got his S3 he seems to have neglected the S2 community as his kernels are getting more unstable with every release
Sad though and I would have preferred to stay with Siyah for Portal Rom but is there anything out currently that's working with the new 4.0.4 roms that's not the default stock kernel and cause the wipe brick?
Been looking for days but maybe missed something.
