hi all,
I need to update my wife's phone from ICS to JB by rooting/installing recovery and flashing a nice custom rom.
I have searched the S2 forum (she has i9100) and there are loaddddds of threads but donnu which one to use, donnu which is outdated and which is best way or new way to do so.
I have an xperia Z and have rooted and unlocked so I have a good idea about this, but I failed to find the suitable best way.
I would also appreciate a recommendation on which custom rom to install 4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3? and which rom to use.
I know am asking too much but I need to do this so soon as my wife is nagging me for a new phone and saying her phone is slow and doing strange things.
help will be much appreciated
A common way to root is to flash a custom kernel with Odin, and after this flash a rom via CWM. All can be found in the guides.
About the rom choice: it's up to you. 4.1.2 is Samsung based, and perfectly stable. 4.2 maybe too, but it's AOSP based, and 4.3 seems to be in the bèta stage now.

Strange things?? Lol..
Maybe you should choose an AOSP based custom ROM. That would make her phone smooth and fast as well as bloat-free.

Plenty of good options currently I favour sentinel Rom. It's basically cyanogenmod optimised for the S2

The guy did ask for a recommendation. sadly i lacked your insight into the rom preferences of an entire gender so that's me with egg on my face for mentioning a custom rom. I feel such a fool i may never post again. Is that cheering i hear?

But if you think about it: how many girls you know are interested in custom roms, or even, for example, another launcher?

Don't be stupid, you know what he meant. Its a typo. Nobody is perfect including you.
To the OP, are you wanting to use a Gingerbread or ICS rom? If your interested in Gingerbread try SolarisPrime A New Hope. The rom is great!
ICS = HANDS DOWN UCLE2 BASE + FJ MOD by Flappjaxxx
But many others that have minor bugs... youll have to read up on each.
I rocked troposphere for quite a while... Kinda Like AOSP
I played with tablet mods on several other bases(which was cool and different) but I already have a tablet so didnt need another one lol
Im sure that you'll want to stay away from GB roms, because if you do go with GB you'll only find out at a later date that, when you flash ICS, you should have done it in the first place... Kind like having a choice to buy either a 1990 mustang or a 2012 mustang and choosing the 90's car. Then when it starts to smell old and feel slow, switching to the 2012... Money aside of course...
Welcome!
I am using the flappjaxxx rom mentioned above and I am over all pleased.
FJ pimped my pride

I'm so glad you love your NOTE
I even love this device also it replaces my laptop because I own ASUS G53SX damn this thing is so heavy to bring around
What I love about the note is 5.3 inch screen very high def qualify watching movies or TV on it at 1080P 60fps and very fun playing games on it as well when I'm out about too . Very light weight and it fit's in my jeans pocket just fine.
For 5.3 inch Phone + Tablet all in one device compared to Asus Prime which is 10 inch screen I prefer to have a device that's a phone and tablet so I don't have to bring 2 different devices around with me
The latest UCLE2 IMM76D 4.0.4 build is the most stable i've had so far. If you like the stock experience I'd say go with that ROM. Then ofcourse root it!
I'm on the stock official release that just came out. Nothing fancy for now.

He's probably talking about the new leak that was linked here in the general forums.
you guys are great! I have to agree ics is great had a collective rom on my skyrocket and loved it. so i guess ill have to do some reading on how to get to ics on the note. it was pretty easy on the rocket. I've rooted already and will Odin cwm tonight then hit the dev section and get to it.
thanks guys looking forward to a great time here.

Yes, I want this rom too
When I got my "new" s3, I gave my "old" s2 (running Paranoid Android1.1) to my wife.
Well, I knew that this rom really missed me on s3 and I had the hope that someone will port this really innovative rom.
....so, go for it!
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Ok, it seems that everything is moving way fast around S3.
We already have CM9, AOKP and finally ParanoidAndroid

I use this on my Note
Howdy,
For testing purposes I want to load a pre-ICS ROM on my GalaxyS3. I need the flash built in that got dropped with ICS.
Has anyone tried this? If so, what are recommended ROMs?
If no one has done this, what ROMs are closest to what the S3 runs and would stand the greatest chance of working?
Thanks,
Joe
Presume this is a test to see how fast you can brick your SGS3 .
Adobe Flash player works on ICS .

now this was a unique question. in the world of jb you are looking for gb

This is I think the 4th "can I put gingerbread on x" thread I have seen on xda, pretty sure its the second in the S3 forum and also there were two in the gnex forums if my memory serves me right.

to be equally fair, i'm in the same boat. i had a captivate for a while, loved the gb roms i flashed constantly to find my favourite. bought an s2 and absolutely love the phone. i hard bricked my previous s2, i dont think i had the right kernel, something i did was for a non canadian version of the s2. after i sold that one i bought another brand new s2. the s3 was around for a little while at this point but my girlfriend has a galaxy nexus and her sister an s3 and i just dont like the way ics and jb look, feel and operate. it felt like switching from windows to a mac after using windows for years. i would go to close a window and the 'x' was in the upper left and not right like windows.
its a personal opinion, i'm sure in many ways firmwares past gb are better in many quantifiable ways, but i just dont like em. not to mention the stupid physical home button like some loser iphone. i love the 4 backlit buttons that samsung uses on many devices like the blu ray player i have. it's just awesome.
anyway, long story short - is there any other demand worth warranting a dev to make a gb rom for phones past that version of android?
in closing, think of the amount of roms out there for the captivate which are based on froyo people still use. gb ics and even jb roms are available but many people still prefer the look and feel of froyo.
anyway, long story short - is there any other demand worth warranting a dev to make a gb rom for phones past that version of

Good afternoon guys
I know probably this will be a pushy question but I will really like to know some information about what could we been expecting now with this new 4.1 update for I717.
I was looking on the N7000 forum and there is a lots of nice roms on JB out there, any of those Dev will think on porting their roms to our device?
thanks in advance for your opinion,
I've been following this device since release because one of my friends has it. Overall I am very disappointed in what's come of development from here and most of all from AT&T. As soon as the Note 2 dropped the Note 1 died. Even the new update doesn't have Multi Window features. Nobody somehow even ported it yet? I can't find it. People ported it to the S2 S3 etc etc.
Time to upgrade to a Note 3 from the looks of it.
I asked because I don't any of the Dev pronounce any information of building or porting a rom base on the new updated. probably its me and I don't want to sound like bad but the update it there and We would like to know if there will be nice roms like they are on the N7000
thanks for your all understanding

with your experience on XDA you should know, what is going to be an excellent ROM for somebody else, may not be for you. I don't know what kind of user you are.
not sure what your last phone was, but we have quite a bit of variety here.
here is my rundown and I am sure you know basics
ICS 4.0.4...........super stable by know beings update official updates have gone beyond
JB 4.1.2...........Touchwiz based pretty darn close to stock (debloated) and DAMN stable. only a couple out there but rock solid. some theming and mods out there for personal touches. not many updates needed
JB 4.2..............these would be AOSP, AOKP and CM based ROMS. lots of customizing. basically 3 ROM's in 1. with bells and whistles are some shortcomings. random reboots being the biggest flaw. many have success using alternate KERNALS built in conjunction with certain ROM's, giving options for OCing and UVing. different tweaks here and there can better chances for success. lots of updates on these.
JB 4.3..............still early in the game. smooth but working out a lot of kinks right now. its coming along
just an honest everyday user here giving an honest opinion m my experience here. folks are great funny and very helpful and a LOT of talent in development here.
good luck my friend. I am sure others will be along to correct me on SOMETHNG
