Hi all,
I have rooted my device according to the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
My phone specs are as follows: Stock Rom.
PDA:KJ2/ PHONE:KI4/ CSC:KJ1 (XSG)
Now that I have rooted my device, I would like some help what to do next for optimum performance and to remove the bloatware? I am very new to android world. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
trawl the rom threads see what you like the look of, im not saying this just becausei use it, but take a look at the litenin rom thread in my sig, thats simple to flash and plenty of instructions, i have found most roms are are based on nothing much being changed unless you go for miui or a cm7 rom,
if you wanna remove bloatware i personally set my phone up n use system app remover, everyone has there own personal choice for roms so its basically take a look at the thread if u like the look of it give it a shot,
there is plenty of help and advice in the stickys and the rom threads if you get stuck.

Thanks a lot Demon_man for the reply. I have noted few things in lightening ROM which need clarification.
1) It is based on 2.3.4 while mine is 2.3.5...should I go back?
2) It doesn't support Right to left languages..They say to install older versions.
3) what is the battery life with lightening ROM?
I shall be thankful for further help.
sorry thought i had updated my sig litnin is now un supported as far as im aware the dev left but this thread has taken over the litnin rom,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334124

hey have any of you guys installed a custom roms on the SGS2 i have the phone rooted and i was contimplating installing a custom rom just wanted you guys information on how safe it is to do so. I was acutally looking for a nice ICS custom rom but apparently i would need one for my kernel(XWKL1). What would happen if i install a custom rom of ICS ment for a different kernel would it brick my phone?
thanks in advance for any information.

probably but you are better off reading and learning before bricking your phone
ICS is yet to be released but we do have a buggy leaked ICS test rom you need to know how to recover before flashing .

Yes it is safe if you know what you're doing and for you that means don't go anywhere near an ICS ROM try a Gingerbread ROM first but before you do that read and read and search and search.
Just practising my speed typing....
wow thanks for such a quick reply so for example if i were to install the Omega rom i would need to get one for my kernel version only right? Then if would need to revert all i need to do is flash my old insecure kernel back and i would be back.
edit: - i didnt see B3311 post. ok i am a lil confused now if i were to install a custom rom ment for a differnt kernel would it work or would i brick my phone?
Kernel version doesen't matter.

Search, Read, Backup and try. Everything you need to know is in the threads. Please read friend that is the only way you get to learn. Look at me. Been reading upon the threads once i had my galaxy s2 just before xmas and i have read upon two months before i got my phone. Now even though i only joined recently i know near enough what i need to do regarding as rooting and flashing roms and themes go. But i still search whenever i can for what i need before i have to ask questions. And most of the time it is right there infront of you. Also another thing if you think the search engine is crap on xda use google. Most of the times it gives you what you are looking for.
Not having a go but today mininum have been two three threads what rom is the best and what one to use and so on. Anyway good luck with the flashing and hope you enjoy whatever you choose

And the key to all the reading is that you are less likely to brick your phone more likely to be able to recover from problems.

True but even with all the reading at least you will feel more comfortable about going about and rooting the phone and flashing a rom. That way at least you do not have to expect others to spoonfeed the information to you. Also when you flash a rom for the first time you will feel great about yourself cause you did it all by yourself than asking others to help you. Hope that makes sense.. and to what you said also you have a great point and i always read your posts when you help people JJe as you are one helpful guy.
Hey, I just contacted Google and advised them to remove the Google search widget that comes standard on every android phone's home screen.
It useless I told them, nobody seems to even notice or use it. Heck, why search when you can just ask?
Still waiting for there reply.

to be clear i never asked which rom was the best and which one to use. I have been reading up on all the different roms available i have narrowed it down to the ICS and the Omega rom and i know how to flash the roms the instructions there are quite clear my only query was about the kernel version for which i could not find a solution. Now i have another question since you guys are saying the kernel version does not matter then why are they country specific and suppose i use a kernel ment for USA would that mean when ics finally got released here for the sgs2 i would need to reflash my phone with the gingerbread 2.3.6 version before i could get the official ICS update from kies?

let me make this clear. Different variants of the s2 hence why you see different forums. If you have an international version then you are safe to flash whatever you want in this forum here. So if you see USA version I would steer clear it as it has nothing to do with the international version if that makes sense. Regarding your other question well yes flash BBL to stock official ROM and that is it

The kernal is not related to country or carrier. The csc is.
Practically all custom roms come with working kernals and modems for the rom.
As for getting the official upgrade, you can reflash your original firmware, but most here just download the new official firmwares from the Intratech thread or sites like sammobile and flash it with Odin. No need for kies. I don't use it at all except for when I first got the S1 in 2010.

Hi,
Im new to the rooting, and i have been searching google, youtube, this forum and probably everywhere to find answers to my questions, but im having a hard time to find out what will work with my verson. I have found ALOT of "how to" guides on root, but i feel they all go to quick and say install this and this and do that.. But im sitting and wondering WHAT is all this files, what do they do, and is this the correct way for my verson?
Im very confused
Info on my SGS2:
Android-verson: 4.0.3
Baseband verson: I9100XXLPQ
Kernalverson: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505
What im interested to try is put a clean verson if ICS on my phone.
I also tried to follow a guide i found on galaxy2root for the ICS, but after unzipped the kernal file, i should have a .tar file but i just get a zImage.file. This will not open in Odin 1.85.
I had an iphone 4 that i got "jailbroken" and got that to work very good. So i can do things like this, but i really like to know what im doing before i start.
I hope i dont get fried for probably asking this for the 100000000 time, but as i said, i tried to search everywhere, but im just so confused, so if anyone could point me in the correct direction i would be very happy.

Hi again,
I got the phone rooted, and working fine.
But having some problems with installing the custom rom.
I follow the guide, and do everything it says, after its finish installing (that takes ca one minute, and it should take more then five?) it says everything is good. And i restart, get the yello triangle and the screen goes black, now its supposed to boot, but it stays black.
Cant understand what i did wrong
I got the phone restored, so it works now but i really want to try the pure ics rom
Regards Alpejohn86
which is the ROM you are trying to install?
Its called "Pure ICS ROM for Rooted Galaxy S2! [i9100]"
I cant post link to it, but i followed a guide on galaxys2root com
And thats where i found the rom to.

Why are you taking a rom from forum A but going to another forum to ask how to fix it .
That makes no sense at all who knows what stupid instructions you have been given .
Flash a rom from XDA and follow the instructions posted on XDA .

my friend you wont get support for such ROMs which are not from XDA..
there are plenty of ROM on XDA developers site : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204
select any of them and follow the instruction....
How can i know thats a different "place" ?
As you probably understod a long time ago, im a newbe noob.
You cant expect me to know all this, thats why im here in the first place.
I understand that it anoying when people like me come here and ask questions thats been asked before, im active in a bmw forum and know all about stupid questions, but you guys are the experts at this, im not.
I was not sure if i wanted to ask on xda at all, after seeing the video. It made it sound like its not legal to come here and ask stupid questions.
But, thanks for the info, i will check the roms on xda.
Alpejohn86
Welocome & goodluck
Thanks ZACQ8
Maybe you guys can answer a question, i have now installed a rom from the XDA forum, and its called F1-Galaxy Nexus (i think), its a clean ICS rom.
But im missing the Notes and the file manager, and i think there are som other apps thats missing to. The description said this should be exactly like the Nexus, but i would think the Nexus also have the Notes app?
Other than that, it works great!

What notes that comes with Android? There isn't one.
If you mean the notes app which comes with Samsung ROMs, you need to have a read what AOSP is.
Oh, so the Notes is something that Samsung put on there? If so, then i understand why its not there. Thanks!

ROM (Read Only Memory) these are the firmwares or operating system that comes pre-installed with u phone, there are also various types of custom available on this xda dev forums for download.
now u will be asking what are these custom ROMs
Answer to it - When we buy a new phone (any company it may be from) it comes wirh all necessary as well as some unnecessary apps
(bloatware) with it, most of dont like this bloatware bcoz we dont use them and some of them cause unnecessary battery drain, and moreover we dont have root access to our phones for which we search for custom roms.
CM9 (cyanogenmod 9) its the most famous custom rom available known for its fast performance, root level access, no bloatware etc etc
again so it mean they for customization of phone and for fast performance if i wnat to install them how i can i do that and also if they safe mean no harm for phone i have gingerbread GS2

Hey,
So I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 to ICS 4.0.4 before 1-2 months. The new graphics and extra features looked really great at first, but 2 hours after using it on normal applications (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.) It froze and did nothing, like literally just freezes at the screen it lagged on. This has been happening continuously for the past 2 months and I'm really sick of it, I upgraded my phone and my dad's one (both SGS2I9100) using Samsung Kies, ever since that, it just keeps freezing like 4 times a day and I have to take off my battery and re-put it so it can reset since nothing will do this.. The old the firmware I had was the really amazingly going well and never lagged even once (I can't remember which firmware though). I'm a total noob, I didn't and don't have my phone rooted or some stuff like that, expect downloading APKs off the internet lol.
I really want someone to help me in this, I know there must be a solution since I don't think I'm the only one who has been annoyed by this, specially when it happens on a daily routine. I searched over the forums and found nothing. I know there must be something talking about the issue but I'm too nooby to understand the article titles which might be a solution of my problem.
Please help me in my problem it really bothers me and xda is my last hope...
Thank you all.
Note: please use simple terms because I really won't understand, and if you do, please teach me them lol.
Well, first of all your up for some reading.
While you go from thread to thread you'll run into the world of ROMs and flashing.
The first thing you have to know is that your device comes with 4 things:
1) Hardware (dah)
2) Kernel (link between Hardware & OS)
3) ROM (OS)
4) Modem (Baseband for your country / Region)
You are actually on 4.0.4, It's Kernel is known to suffer the brick bug issue.
Flashing is used to get the best from your device, in relation to your personal user experience. You got plenty of options like Stock Roms and Custom Roms, as well as Stock Kernels and custom kernels.
When flashing stock roms you get the chance to get rid of your carrier stuff (bloatware and animation boot) by getting an unbranded ROM (samsung official stock rom), you can either go down to previous versions (Gingerbread, ICS 4.0.3) or even go up (Jelly bean leaked ROM). Carrier branded or not, it's just a matter of choice.
When flashing custom roms you get a whole lot of roms to choose from. The most common are CyanogenMod (CM), RR (revolution remix), Omega and etcetera. These roms take the best of the stock roms and leave the worst, so you'll get a more personalized experience.
When Flashing custom kernels your trying to get the best performance for your ROM, this means you can use a stock ROM with a custom kernel.
Modems are basebands that let your carrier network function in your region / country, so if you flash a modem, your network might not work, so you'll have to flash another modem and so on.
Check all that out and if you decide to go on flashing, we are here to help you on the easiest / safest way to do it.
rembember to read and re-read all first.
you did notice this is now your official post right?
Okay I kinda get it, can you kindly please send me links that will help my problem? I'd rather downgrade with Stock ROM than a costum one.
Another thing, will it affect anything that has to do with my Carier? and does my phone have to be rooted in order this to work? If so how can I?
Many thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
try sammobile.com
they have plenty of stock roms.
I'd personally advice you to get 4.0.3 stock ROM. What's you carrier? I could look it up for you while you learn about flashing/downgrade.
That's what I was thinking of too, and it's Orange IL (Israel)
I need you you to tell me how do it too please

There are 2 types of people: those who do not like to read and the rest who like. Then those who like may not understand. Now, those who do not read and those who read but don't understand actually contribute 99% of the posts in every forums you visit.

When the guy doesn't read it was a good advice to start doing it, because it's not really allowed to ask everything that is allready asked so many times.
When he actually does read, but doesn't understand (which I don't think because he's asking basic question about steps he must take) then it's maybe better to rethink if he's really going to flash something because he doesn't know what he's doing

Why don't you just flash a stock rom through Odin? No offence but I'm serious, the lack of knowledge you show here by asking about Recovery to me seems to be a sign you shouldn't root it at all, and learn a whole lot more about flashing and more if you want to.

These all aren't stupid questions, because everybody had to go through them the first time. It's just that all the questions have allready been answered here on xda, so that's why you've been told to search and read for yourself.
Here's an article that can be helpfull:

If you don't fully understand it, please look into the guides in the S2 section.
