There can be some issues with converted phones. My advice is to stick with rootbox. It has everything you need in a 4.2.2 rom

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 .

OTA = Over The Air

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.

Lol,how is that possible ? O-o Does that mean I can't install any custom roms or its just the cm9 ?

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.

Hello everyone .
I don't know what to do . I am sitting a lot , trying to update my version (4.0.3) to 4.2.1. Also, i am looking for a stable Rom with working GPS.
Do i have to update my version in oder to put a Rom that based on a newer Version?
I got Ics Passion v13 with 3.1.10-ICS Passion Kernel.
I tried to update from Kies but it doesn't recognize my Phone (There is no option in the ICS ROM to put the USB connection in Kies mode )
I really need help - how to update the version and what Kind of Rom and Kernel are the bests in your opinion ?
Thanks for helping =]

You can try the new AOKP build. Vibrantmtd is once supported again instructions for installing the rom are listed in the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208126.
As far as GPS is concerned it is either a hit or miss...might work or it might not. Unfortunately I am not able to test it since my vibrant is bricked
But I can tell you that AOKP is an excellent rom I been using it for nearly a year now since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. It is far much better than ICS passion in every aspect. Never had any problems with it.
As for the kernel I can't really say which one I would recommend since I honestly can't ever recall flashing a kernel for my vibrant...I've always used the kernels that are included in the ROM(S).
Just remember to backup your apps...because you will lose them in the process since this is not an update...it is more of an upgrade(4.0.3 to 4.2.2).
Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions.

Thank you for the answer , So just to be sure . . the AOKP build will upgrade my phone to 4.2.2 ? or first i have to upgrade to 4.2.2 and only then the Rom will work?

The ROM will update you straight to 4.2.2. I don't think you need to be on 4.1 to update or any other version for that matter. Just flash the ROM through recovery and you should be good to go. Good luck.
You can use my cyanaosp build which is reported to have good gos from many users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167819
Or you can use my rootbox port which also has great gps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167857

Hello everybody,
i own a galaxy s3 and i tried installing several different roms on it. the last fully working rom was omega 4.1.2 but ever since i upgraded to android 4.2 i get a lot of random reboots, sometimes every few minutes. i tried different aokp roms, the problem persists on every single one of them. last one i tried was jelly bam 7.5.0, it worked for a week and now it´s starting again.
can this be solved with a custom kernel or do you have any other ideas ?
Why not wait for a non beta test release of 4.instead of using the current not released 4.2 .
jje
Maybe you should stick to 4.1.2 then?

did you try CM10.1 4.2.2 by temasek? flash you s3 with it and siyah kernel v1.9.1 and you face no reboots like in others.
i've been using it for many days and faced none !:good:
4.2 roms have amazing features dont wanna miss out on them but i thought or hoped there was a workaround for the reboots. thanks for your help guys.
siyah kernel should also work on jelly bam rom right ?

Never flash RIL on custom roms, you will break network.
Have you tried flashing an original samsung rom to see if network works? maybe your board is broken..

Are you sure you are installing the correct version? Have you tried reinstalling the custom rom(s)? I'm pretty sure that the custom roms use the same modems from the stock rom (doesn't install a new one). Is the network settings ok? Is there any signal strength? Please let us know your answers.

Emergency calls only? This seems really strange. Assuming that your sim is still activated, you shouldn't really be experiencing this problem. If you changed the modem to a different one from the original, I would highly advise you to flash back the original modem (since you have changed the modem).
That just dont makes sense, the only explanation to this would be a rom with a broken ril

Honestly I don't know. I never saw such a problem before, I don't know what you are doing wrong because all the kitkat roms for i9100 have a working network for a year I think. Make sure you are following the installation instructions correctly :good:

Well the stock rom you can get from sammobile and flash with odin, talking about kitkat I'm personally using the CyanogenMod 11 M12, network works flawlessly, but I also recommend @Markox89 linaro/sabermod builds because they rock (and have working network haha)
