So im want to root and try out some different roms.
My question is, is it ok for a beginner to start out using kernels such as Siyah ? I ask because i cant find a cf-root for jellybean.
And i have read the siyah thread and as i understand it, it supports most rom types for the SGS2, but to double check will it definitely support the android 4.2.2?
Big thanks for any help.
Read more threads
Look for philz kernel mate.

4.2.2? Or 4.1.2?
Look up the Build Number in ur phone's 'Settings - About Device'.
It should be a 5 letter word (like XXLSD).
Check for a Philz kernel for that build.

I think syiah vsync will but u have to read more about it ,why u dnt try dorimanx 8+(stock jb 4.1.2) its modified syiah . But if u r on stock jb how asnw said try philz its basicly cf for jb. If u flash cm10.1 4.2.2 it come with cm kernel most the time. Good luck

Big up dorimanx.
8. Is for ics and jb
9. Is for cm aokp roms.
Don't mix or boot loop will happen. Efs bk up would be good after root before move to custom rom. You need to read not as easy as it looks. No one wants a paper weight do they

Not sure if i'm doing something wrong, essentially when i try to dual boot with siyah kernel 5.0.1 i just get black screen, if i boot my stock ICS it's fine, i've tried a few ROM's (all JB) and they all just black screen when trying to boot, turning off and back on and going into primary is fine - am i missing anything obvious?
yes you are missing the reading part about it in the siyah thread..
JB roms are not supported yet

well if its the early JB 4.1 based rom u can Dual boot using siyah 5.0.1, if its newer than that (4.1.2>4.2.1>4.2.2) then siyah v5.0.1 will not support the same, and u will get black screen on boot

That may be the issue, Its CyanogenMod 10.1 i'm trying which i assume is based on 4.1.2 or earlier, out of curiosity is it just a dualboot scenario that is unsupported. I.E. if i flashed with CM10.1 just on its own with siyah 5.0.1 it would work?

for cm10.1 u should use the latest siyah v6.0b5 since siyah v5.0.1 will not be able to boot CM10.1 as its based on android 4.2.1 for u

Do remember that CM10.1 isn't fully supported by Siyah v6.0b5 for now and u might face issues.
Better to install CM10.1 and stay with the stock Cm10.1 kernel that comes with it to get better results

Apologies, Won't CM 10.1 just run on top of the siyah kernel? or by flashing to it will it replace the kernel with its own
I'm not ultimately loyal to a kernel, i just want to run jelly bean on my S2
Thanks

LOL not being a anything . I have had android for about 15 months now. I've spent that time reading what people have done and messes up and fixed and flashed and how and why for what ? So I or anyone can save you bothering. I was nice at the start but you don't no nothing about your phone. Was still nice But after not bothering to study a little bit is reallllllly lazy of you. I joined xda about a month ago I held of joining cuz I had no input about android. I just read thread after thread after thread to help me to solve issues I mite have. As I don't have a pc to fall back on I read A lot before I do any thing to my phone to see if I may get into trouble and how I can sort it. You download an App of playstore and expect someone with the info to help you along.
I even look to see but now find it your self or ask some other mug to help you.

@OP:
You are obviously new to android, and you are not trying to help yourself by reading and searching. Then how do you expect others to help you mate?
Please understand... we can only guide you... the rest is up to you..

I have CM10.1 nightly installed, all stock. If I decide to flash a custom kernel such as dorimanx, am I still able to update via CM10 updater?
I assume that it will override the kernel and I just reflash over again?
Any one confirm?
Cheers.

Try and feed bk or ask in cm thread. Reflash will give you stock kernel bk.

Updating via CM10 updater WILL replace ur kernel with the stock CM kernel.
You WILL have to flash Dori again.

My phone won't reboot after flashing Siyah Kernel 5.0.1 with Mobile Odin. The Samsung logo and what I assume is a Siyah logo appears, but no matter what I try to get into (download/recovery/normal) it doesn't work. What is wrong? o;
Edit: I have a GT-I9100T on rooted stock 4.1.2 ROM and stock recovery btw.
Reflash rom it will restore stock kernel. What rom you on?
Edit: I9100 t. This for I9100.

Managed to get into recovery and download mode after a few minutes and flashed custom ROM, never been so glad to see the samsung start up logo. Ahh, that's the end of me messing with my phone...going to stick to stock ROM and kernel.
Probably best.

Happy for you mate!
I will give a probable explanation as to what happened:
Siyah v5.0.1 supports AOSP JB 4.1.2, but not stock JB 4.1.2! That's why ur phone didn't boot! You should have flashed v6.0b5.

i rooted my device with a siyah kernel s2 v6.ob5+ on my samsung galaxy s2 i9100m. and it says on the website that it is not compatible with the cm10.1 custom rom. does any of you know how to change the kernel to something compatible with cm10.1? or do you know any custom rom compatible with this kernel? I AM OPEN TO ANY suggestions and recommendations. my battery wont last more than 3 hours with my rooted samsung galaxy s2 i9100m on official jelly bean 4.1.2. i need a better kernel or custom rom (4.2.2) that is friendly to my battery life. A BIG THANKS.
When u flash CM10.1, the Siyah kernel u now have is replaced by the CM10.1 kernel. So u won't have any issues.
Kernel supporting CM10.1 - Dorimanx
ROMs that Siyah v6 supports - Stock JB, custom JB ROMs based on stock JB (Omega, NeatRom, Alliance etc)
