You're running Jelly Bean? DL Philz kernel, not the safe one, to your external SD.
Install with Recovery.
Kernel can be found in my signature.

jebuchanan when you say DL Philz kernel, not the safe one... Which kernel is it? I am confuse.

As jebuchanan said, Kernel link can be found in his signature:

[Q] updating I9100 kernel

OK so I have an GS2 running:
rom = 20120806 CM9
kernel version = [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 5
Baseband = I9100XXKE7
Android = 4.0.4
Ok so I did the whole Odin thing for the first and only time around March/April updating from GB and haven't touched the kernel version of this phone again so it's quite old. I want to update to CM10 but I'm not sure if all my versions are correct and all the reading I do with kernels slightly confuses me because I'm not sure how it affects my current version as the CF-Root kernel I did ages ago isn't in my 'about phone', so I needed to ask on here because Whirlpool didn't respond.
Can I simply flash CM10 straight over the top? Or do/can I update the kernel version to do this? I would ideally love to have a kernel that optimizes battery life and gives me the ability to have the soft buttons flash for a notification.
I found these threads, are they applicable to my case?

Or can someone point me in the right direction because I'm happy to read but I need help narrowing my search to my situation.
Cheers.
You are running CM9 and you want to flash CM10? If yes, then you don't need to flash any kernel to do that.
Just follow these steps:
1. Download latest CM10 nightly and Jellybean Gapps
2. Backup your contacts, messages, and apps
3. Boot to CWM recovery
- Backup your ROM (under Backup and restore (optional)
- wipe data / factory reset
- format /system (under mounts and storage)
- flash CM10
- flash Jellybean Gapps
- reboot phone
Done.
Thanks Jokesy. Much appreciated

Here is the CM 10 thread for nighty buildshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794758
I was on MIUI (ICS 4.0.4) and have jumped to Resurrection Remix 3.0.9 and now on Revolt JB 2.5 both of which are based on AOKP and CM10.
I flashed Siyah and then DreamKernel and finally landed on Dorimanx 5.85. So I think you should be okay flashing a new Kernel for your current settings. I would suggest trying out different kernels as there is no best kernel and it depends on your usage. Dormianx has a Battery and Great Battery profile which you can activate via Extweaks app or in recovery. I am not sure about the soft buttons flash though.

Bug SMS application (4.1.2) ! Please help

Hi,
I have a problem with the ROM JB 4.1.2 in my Galaxy S II. After sending and receiving many messages of a sudden one (Like chatting), all my messages disappear, and when I open the SMS application, there is no message at all at all and the only way to solve this problem is to restart the phone.
A note: This issue was in the test version 4.1.2 XXLSJ, I can say that this is normal as it is a test version, but unfortunately, the final official version of Samsung has always the bug.
To test, just need to save your SMS with SMS BACKUP application (you must have more than 300 messages), and when you restore your SMS you will get an error message, and when you visit your SMS application (Ouups: nothing) but after reboot it is resolved.
I already made the necessary wipes!
This problem cannot be solve with others SMS applications: Go SMS... Etc.
I have much more than 300 messages and can't recognize this phenomen. Perhaps this is not a real bug?

You have to receive a lot of messages one after another (Like if you're chatting, you send and you receive very quickly)
Can't duplicate your issue.
Have you tried a full wipe and reinstall the rom?

[Q] Difference between ~500mb ROM's and ~100mb

What is the difference between these ROM's. How should I go to another Custom ROM. Stock -> Custom ROM -> Custom ROM2 -> Custom ROM3 or Stock -> Custom ROM, Stock -> Custom ROM2
Ok.
I'll solve that equation tomorrow.

Kind of meaningless without knowing what you are on and what you want to be on.
Don't you think?

100 mb size rom are the roms which are only designed with basic functions. In other words, developers remove all bloatwares which companies add on to the base rom. For example.... Samsung adds software like kies, touch wizards etc.
500 mb rom includes custom bundled software which are developed by individuals as well as companies.
Hope this simple reply clarifies your doubt.

[Q] What are the differences in the latest JB firmwares?

Hi I wanted to ask what are the differences between XWLSJ, UHMS8 and ZSLSJ are there any bugs fixes? whats new? and witch one is the best. On sammobile ZSLSJ is the latest then goes UHMS8 and third is XWLS8. So whats new in this bulds, what are the differences expect for the countries and witch one is the best. Thanks:laugh:
I don't think Samsung actually releases any changelogs, so no hope in finding the exact differences. Most of the builds are similar, with a few minor bug fixes.
As for which is best, I suggest u try each and find out. Because what's best for me, may not work for you.

Check the changelist. Not much differences. Most new releases have the same changelist as XWLSD.

[Q] Which Jelly Bean to use?

Its been a while since I have been on here and 'Tinkered' with my Galaxy s2 I9100. But seeing as everyone out there is on Jelly Bean I have decided I want a piece of the action as I am sick of waiting for the UK Orange/EE operator to release their version.
Current Broadband version: I9100BVLPE
android Version: 4.0.4
I am wondering If there is an stock Rom that I can use, I still want to be able to use Sky Go and other apps that recognised if the phone is stock or routed.
I know there a a few international Roms out there, but I wanted to update an official version so said apps would work properly.
Can anyone advise which rom to use?
Thanks in advance
Foolz
Hello may i suggest neat rom? Great battery life and some tweaks included in lite vetsion. This rom is samsung stock based.
afaik sky go works but I don't use it so someone may wish to comment?
Easily the best rom ive tried

What are your thought, being for Nordic regions would this affect Apps like Sky Player, BBC I player etc?
thanks

This is an unbranded rom (you're talking about the CSC), so it shouldn't affect those apps.
