Hello,
Yesterday I got my SGSII. It's my third Android phone and I'm not new in flashing custom ROMs, although I'm really confused how things work between kernels and custom ROMs here. I got stock ICS 4.0.4 onboard (XWLPW). For now, I flashed Syiah v5.0.1 kernel (which is for ICS) with Odin, so I got root and CWM6. I want to install NeatRom 4.4, which is JB 4.1.2 based. So can I just flash it on top of Syiah v5, or should I flash v6 first and then flash the ROM? Or maybe flash the ROM and kernel v6 before leaving recovery mode?
Sorry for this question, but I really couldn't find the answer, have been searching for it for some hours...
Thanks in advance!
you can flash both files while you're on recovery mode under siyah v5 but you gotta flash the Neatrom zip file first before flashing siyah v6 otherwise you'll only have a stock kernel.
Be aware that you have to do a full wipe before flashing them (which means you have to backup your files) if you don't wanna have bugs.

Hi,
I want to flash this rom: [Rom][Cdma][Razr][Jb] Rage Rom (1/18/2013). It says I have to be on a Jelly Bean kernel to flash this rom but I don’t understand that.
I installed safestrap. In the stock rom slot, I have the stock ICS. In rom slot 1, I flashed CM10. I am going to create a new rom slot and flash Rage Rom. Could anyone teach me what I need to do?
Hi Everyone,
I am currently running CM9.1.0 on my s3 i9300 since that is the latest stable build - at least it says that on their website. I wanted to flash siyah v1.9.1 but found that it is only supported on jb roms. So i tried flashing the older v1.8.6 on it but it crashed. I have wiped and reinstalled cm9.1 but i want to know which is the latest stable Siyah ICS kernel that i can flash with CM9.1.0?
Alternatively if there are none, plz suggest to me which would be the next preffered kernel to siyah in terms of battery and performance that will also work with ICS/cm9.1?
Thanks
Hello.
I have problem with dualboot. I try with two roms ( NeatRom 4.4 lite and x-treme jb ro v9).
I did:
1. I flash NeatRom 4.4 lite and kernel dorimanx 8.39.
2. In dual boot option I chose clone 1 to 2.
3. Wipe data and flash x-treme jb ro v9 and kernel dorimanx 8.39.
4. Restart.
Custom rom start normally but stock rom ( black screen or boot loop).
Please help me. Thanks.

Hello,
a friend owns a nonrooted SG2 with GB 2.3.6 on it.
Now its time to update to a Sammy based custom Rom like Biftor-Rom v14, which is based on XWMS1.
So I will flash PhilZ XWMS! Kernel via Odin on this phone.
After recovery reboot I'd flash the Biftor Rom from PhilZ Kernel.
Will that work?
Or are there other recommendations?
Yes it will work
Upgrading from a lower stock rom to higher one doesnt requires wiping data...
I have SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE S5830i and installed MindCr Rom v2.4. I wonder if i install another custom rom without flashing back the original stock rom will it work? I had done this before and it causing bootloop problem. Is there other way to do this?
Nope. Backing to stock ROM is important for CM-based custom ROM's. If it's a stock-based ROM, you can install over it but it MUST be a stock-based ROM too. CM7.2-based ROM's need Bieltv.3's kernel flashed via CWM and CM11 needs a MTD-compatible CWM (6.0.5.3 is the only one that works.)
