Hi guys !
I'm new in this section, and my Galaxy S 2 is just rooted. Otherwise it's pure Samsung Rom.
I was looking for a way to install Omega Rom, but i'm kinda lost...
I've already read many tutorials, but...
The thing that i can't understand is, should i flash a compatible kernel, and then the rom i want, or is the kernel included in rom installation ?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers !
Hey,
Look at Omega ROM thread to see if it has included Kernel.
If it has a Kernel included, go ahead and flash it directly otherwise flash siyah kernel and then Omega (providing that they're both compatible, which i am sure that they are)
Cheers.
PS. Welcome to Galaxy S2 world!
Thanks for your reply !
In Omega thread, it says :
Inside Omega v20 Jelly Bean 4.1.2:
Based on firmware XWLSD Android 4.1.2 (Date: 31/01/2013)
Kernel: PhilZ cwm6
Modem XXLS8
CSC Multi set to EUR
So, kernel PhilZ is included in the installation, right ?
But, XWLSD mean that i should switch to firmware XWLSD before flash, or it's just in indication ?

No that means omega rom is based on latest stock LSD..And yes philz kernel comes with the rom. All you need is a safe kernel like siyah or dorimanx which has a proper CWM recovery
Thank you guys ! Will try to do it ASAP !
Cheers !
Well actually Philz is also safe kernel.
But if you want to switch to Siyah kernel or whatever do that after flashing the ROM

So, can i flash Omega Rom in stock recovery, to switch directly from Samsung kernel to Philz ?
With Omega rom you will get Omega files app and you can dload there kernels and other stuff. Kernel section there is links to the philz, jeboo and siyah kernels. Just try there and use that what is best for you.

Do not flash roms in stock recovery. Specially if you are on ICS 4.0.4. You might brick your phone. If you are on ICS flash a safe kernel like siyah v5 or dorimanx kernel via ODIN. Then you can boot into recovery, do a wipe data/cache and install omega or whatever rom you want

First flash a custom kernel, and from that point you can do a full wipe and flash roms.
Thank you all for your help guys !
Cheers !
Can anyone of you point me to the right kernel here please : http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ or in PhilZ Kernel thread.
Because i'm lost, there is to many choices and i don't want to blow up my phone.. I know that it should match my rom version, but match my actual rom, or the rom that i want to flash ?
Or more simplistic, can i flash it over stock kernel ?
Cheers !
EDIT : Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V8.2-[17-35]-[05-03]-ICS-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE.zip is the right, i think... but need confirmation

Hi everybody,
I just foillowed this to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I can see superuser and CWM in the app list on my phone so i suppose it worked,
is there anything other that I need to do before i'm able to install custom roms?
I need to know this because I'm on the 4.0.4 original samsung sowtware, and i had read something about an ICS bug in the samsung kernel. So do I need to flash another kernel? (which?!)
(if i want this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846706 all i have to do is reboot in recovery and flash it?)
thx in avance

Yes, flash another custom kernel immediately.
I recommend Siyah or Speedmod
good luck

Hey guys,
I have just need some help.
I got a s2 4.0.4 (no root) and would like to install the disaster custom rom.
Because i have 4.0.4 and can brick my phone i need some helps/tips..
So as i understand i need cwm to flash the custom rom.
To get cwm i need root. Well, which root methode should i use?
I want one with cwm and supersu in it.
Oh, and after i have root on the 4.0.4 and flash the 4.1.2 custom rom do i keep my root?

Just dwnld the 'Siyah kernel v4.1.5 or v5.0.1' (tar file for ODIN) and flash the same thro 'Odin' on ur pc.
It will automatically Root ur phone and install 'SuperSu' and latest CWM recovery for u.
then using the cwm recovery of siyah kernel u can flash any custom rom of ur choice.
after flashing the custom rom based on 4.1.2 u wont loose ur root
ps- once u install custom kernel like siyah ur phone will be safe from the 'Brick Bug' issue for sure
Flashed the Siyah Kernel.
About to flash custom rom
but got one finally question.
The custom rom; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498017
Says it has philz kernel or whatever
so can i still flash it? and does it change my kernel?
Does it have a effect on me?

Thanks, it works!!
I recently heard about PAC MAN ROM 4.2.2 for Galaxy GT I9100 which is hybrid of different ROMs like Paranoid, CynogenMod etc. I wanted to know how much stable is this ROM in terms of performance and battery life. Additionally, is custom kernel and CWM required to install this ROM or simply flashing the new ROM will do the job? I really am looking forward to installing this ROM in my phone
I have rooted S2 GT I 9100 with official 4.1.2, stock recovery and stock kernel.

That depends on each user mate. I suggest you read user opinions in the ROM's thread to find out.

Like all custom ROMs, PACman ROM requires CWM and root. You don't need a custom kernel per se, but flashing a custom kernel is the best way to get root as well as CWM.

Can you please suggest me a stable custom Kernel that would be comparatively safe for my device GT I9100. I would be quite glad if you would help me with it...:good:
In discussing about the kernel in this thread in post# 619 pg 62 Viper has suggested me with Philz Kernel and FAQs of PacMan ROM, they suggest Dorimax Kernel for my device. So, are these kernel better in performance than the stock kernel or not and does performance of ROM depend upon kernel as well? Since I can backup my ROM and flash new ROM with temporary CWM, I am thinking of using it instead of other custom kernel so as not to mess up with my stock kernel.

Actually all custom kernels are safe. Just make sure (by reading the instructions) you flash the compatible one.
Philz-kernel for example cannot be used with PAC. Just try the stock kernel. If you don't like it, you can try (for example) Dorimanx kernel.

So if I want to try different ROMs can Dorimanx do the job for me? And since my device is already rooted do I need to unroot first before flashing new kernel which have rooting functionality?

No you don't need to un-root and like her said.......read the instructions and search forums for specific kernals for specific ROMs. I'm not sure but I don't think dorimanx is compatible with ALL ROMs.
Anyone clarify?

Restoring to stock
After flashing PACMan version of 4.2.2, if I need to for warranty, can I simply go to CWM recovery and restore previously created backup of my stock ROM?

No, you need to do a back up to your pc first using kies preferably.....this will make sure its put back to stock standard for warranty purposes.
I thought s2/i9100's were too old to be warrant'd now?
Error in /emmc/...while flashing Pac Man 4.2
I tried to flash PacMan 4.2 but encountered problem. Posted my issue in this thread but no solution received yet.
Got error message something like
"assert failed get prop ("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" ||getprop("ro.buil.product")==galaxys2.....Error in /emmc/[file location]....Installation aborted..."
Tried to flash pac_i9100_4.2-milestone.1.release_20130806-205645.zip (MD5sum: 5e569d28ae20c0dbb45c71a212a35ce4)
I searched the forum but some say its problem with CWM recovery and others tell about corrupted file. I downloaded file twice incl previous release of the ROM. I even explored the zipped file and could navigate to most of the folders which I think that suggests that file is fine (no corrupted download).
I used temporary CWM v. 6.0.1.4. Should I try Dorimanx Kernel as the developer of ROM suggests the kernel for the ROM.
I currently have official JB 4.1.2, stock recovery and kernel. GT I9100.

HI
I have Galaxy s2 with android 2.3.5. I want flash OMNI 4.4 rom on it..but before that I want to flash latest CWM recovery on my S2. And also my S2 doesn't have root access So the problem is
Can I flash latest CWM recovery when my S2 have android 2.3.5. ? or should I update official ICS from OTA before flash ?
(I'm planning to use ODIN to flash CWM)
thanks

Step 1 - flash CF kernel which is appropriate to ur baseband with Odin
Step 2- Flash cutom rom what ever u want
Step 3 - Flash Gapps..
Thats all :good:
You can flash CWM and then the custom ROM now itself, without upgrading to ICS. Just make sure you flash the correct rooted kernel for your baseband version. Don't directly flash any CWM or use ROM manager. Good luck!

My details
Baseband version - I9100BUKI1
Kernal Version - 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3
So can anyone give me correct CWM recovery to my S2 ? (I just want to flash kitkat rom.. )
And you can't search for this why exactly ? You've been here more than long enough to know how things work.
Flash Gustavo's kernel first and then follow instructions on the omni thread for flashing as a first time user.
Search around and you will find everything here itself.
I'd suggest flashing the latest stock rom via Odin, ms1 I believe. Then flash philz kernel. Then boot into recovery, (while your new rom cwm zips are on your SD card) format system, preload, data and cache. Then flash the omni rom zip, and the correct gapps, and any other mods you would like.

I think dorimanx will replace your cwm with its own version(I am on 6.0.4.8), but there is not much difference. You can always flash the newer version if you really need it.
Odin won't see it as it is not a .tar file, just flash it from recovery. It is recommended if you are not re-flashing the rom to use the kernelwipe script from @hawkerpaul to make sure there are no issues from residual files from the old kernel.
I don't know about a custom boot-animation, it may be possible but not something that is a feature of the kernel

No, that would install the stock kernel again. If you have been using the rom as is for a while I would use the kernelwipe script, then just flash the dorimanx kernel from recovery, then just reboot into system. You can flash the kernel without the script but you run the risk of bugs because of left over files from the previous kernel.
