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

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.

Hello guys,
I own a samsung galaxy s2 right now and i got the following installed on it:
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9200XXKI3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579 [email protected] #Supercore 2.0
Build: DarkyROM2 XXKI3 Base
Now i wonder wich is the best one i could use for the S2? I see so many roms and kernels.
Another thing in this version they changed the camara and on my idea its slower and darker. Where can i get a better one or the default camara.
Sincerely thanks

ROM is a matter of taste. There is no "Best ROM ever". There is only "Best ROM that suits my taste".
You want some of the (GOOD) samsung features on a custom ROM that is fast? (like h/w accelerated browser,cam app). Try GingerMOD Vanilla
You want pure aosp rom with minimal (really minimal) apps that is fast?
Try Oxygen ROM.
You want freshness, and innovation?
Try CyanogenMod 7
Still lotsa players out there like Cognition, Villain, Galnet, etc etc,
Try them all and see which one is best for u!
I tried Remix 8.5 based on XXLP6and 8.6 based on XXLPB
LPB is in very good progress versus LP6
4 remarks
the security settings don't function totally ( send SMS, and others functions ) , and like phone locator pro switch off the phone when using it
when screnn off, it is necessary to reboot
I think that in V8.6 CF root LP6 replaces LPB for allowing the apps on SD
but radio FM disappears . with LP6, radio FM is good
Keyboard the typed letter is not the letter on the screen
quick panel lidroid is very good but I prefer JKAY settings
(with many possibilities )
Andyx rom 5.1 radio fm is ok but the choice of cf root pl6 stop recup of some apps by titanium. security settings are going well
so I wait a new version of ICS rom for leaving 2.3.6 version

GSMArenea posted that ICS will come officially in March to the S2 and Note
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_and_galaxy_note_to_get_ics_in_march-news-3752.php
If you can wait a bit longer there will be an official base to make a stable ICS ROM and then XDA will have them to flash safely without any of the current problems.Until then I dont think its work it,for me anyway,flashing anything thats so unstable for daily use when in a month or two we will have fully stable ICS here.
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.
I like Jelly Bean, but when using messaging, I miss the add word function of t9, that was in Ice Cream Sandwich, but left out of Jelly Bean, when using 3x4 keyboard. Can I flash only the stock messaging apk from Ice Cream Sandwich to my phone if it has Jellybean on it? Will that function return?
Anyone?
Is it the messaging app or the keyboard you really want?
Nandroid backup your phone and then try it, report back.

Well it's the ADD WORD function. It doesn't seem to exist in JB only ICS. I have tried Go Keyboard, but it's not there either...
Tried flashing the 4.0.3 messaging apk, and the stock ics one from Samsung, neither allowed for the ADD WORD function in JB. Wish I was a better hacker/coder, I would try to port this, but alas, it seems the only way to get the function is by using ICS operating system.
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.
