Hi
I have recently rooted my Galaxy s2 and now im looking for a different rom but there is so many to choose from and so many old threads with roms in them i have not got a clue what to choose from. Idealy im looking for a rom that will help give me longer batter life, a better wifi signal and somthing that i can add themes to.
I also have 2 questions i would like answered before i continue with a new rom.
1st Question. I currently have firmware version 2.3.5 would i need a rom compatable with this firmware?
2nd Question. My build is Gingerbread would i also need a rom that is compatable with Gingerbread
Any advice or appropriate links would be appreciated.

Check if it is i9100 or i9100G. In case, it's i9100G then mate, you don't have much to choose from. If it's i9100 then you will have to try different rom and kernel combination to suit your need, everyone has different battery life for every other user. You can start off with Checkrom, it's quite great, I'm using it. Irrespective of the rom, read first page and last 5 pages of the thread so that you know what to expect, problem wise and function wise. Read, read and read carefully before doing anything.

lool i think ur getting a bit confused mate.
cwm isnt a kernel, its a program allowing u to flash zips.
i imagine ur running stock right?
then ur kernel will be stock.
i reccomend either checkrom v6 or if ur feeling daring ICS roms r pretty gd aswell
CWM is not a kernel its a function inside the kernel mate
you need to decide wether you want ICS or GB
for ICS i'd reccomend XXLPH stock ROM its the best rom i've tried for 4.0.3
and for GB you can go for Checkrom V6 i've heard its pretty awesome ( i tried v4 myself but didnt like the battery life)

no, the kernel is wen u go into about phone and go to kernel version. It will then display it underneath.
Wat rom r u running?
did u buy the phone from the shop or somewhere else?

I've tested the ICS stock rom and a few others but for now settled for the "Resurrection Remix ics v9.3 black edition XXLPH 4.0.3 FULL-Wipe" and I'm very satisfied.
Battery wise it a lot better and the interface seems snappier and not as bloated as the original rom.

Chears mate.
From my point of view reading all the threads and topics regarding kernals and roms is a bit mind messing because there is so many too choose from
ok do the following, grab your phone - > dialer - > *#1234#
this will display PDA,CSC and Phone, this will provide the rom you are running for further reference
then into settings->about phone->kernel version ( must be something since you have root and CWM, im guessing chainfire kernel)
with that information we can provide you a better help
See my sig. Best Rom by far that I have tried.

I think if you are confused with the diffrences between kernel and cmw, i am pretty sure you are confussed about a lot of other things. So i think some reading is in order -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125282
This is a very good guide to read and their are other links within that thread to look through too. We all start not knowing what to do but lots of reading always helps, i hope it all goes well for you.
P.S. I am using ICS CM9 Codeworkx and it's a great rom, very stable even for a new user of custom roms.
as i thought you have a CF-Root so you are rooted and with CWM, on your app drawer you should have the CWM icon.
So you are ready to flash mate
you have to pick a ROM
for ICS i recommend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292825
for GB try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312240
in both scenarios you have to download the files and place them inside your phone via usb on a folder, then go into CWM mode and pick the option "install zip from sdcard" navigate inside your folders and pick the file you downloaded.....couple mins later you flashed succesfully your phone

Thanks mate. I did get confussed with my replies but i had a feeling i did install a kernal so thanks for verifying it for me
What is the difference between the Ics and GB please?
The Kernal im using can be kept while changing roms yeah? or do i have to change kernals for certain roms ?

Thank you everyone for your support and patience
the difference...amm you will need to youtube or google that as they are tons of different things, ICS is faster, smoother and damn good looking for me at least. Ill never go back to GB once i tasted the ICS
the kernels used for both ICS and GB are different each rom has its own kernel where the dev tested it works correctly, you could change them but if you flash a kernel you shouldn't or if its not compatible with the rom you might regret that
stick with the kernels included in the roms unless you are 100% sure they can work on the rom you pick
oh and one last thing before flashing stuff wipe your phone, its done inside CWM there's an option which says "wipe data/factory reset" and also wipe your dalvik cache inside CWM as well on "advanced->wipe dalvik cache"
hope it helped mate

So the roms have there own kernels in? just to verify please?
im a little outdated on kernels but last time i checked there were kernels for GB and kernels for ICS. not sure if they work on both operative systems now
still, stick with the kerneles included in the roms, they are tested and included in the roms cause they work, by your question i feel you are concerned about losing CWM
worry not mate, CWM is present in all of the rooted kernels

Hi
I was following instructions to flash the Criskelo v7 rom on my Galaxy Note N7000
First time with Android rooting ...... it told me to flash Abyss Kernel and after this do a wipe . Abyss did not load right and i did wipe
OK .... this is my first android and first time on rooting.............. i made a mess i guess
Now the phone does not go back to CWM recovery and can only go into download mode . I have downloaded ODIN 1.85
Also before doing all this i have created a Nandroid back up with the help of CWM
is there some way to recover my phone ?
Thanx

ok guys
am having isues dual booting
installed syrah kernel fine and used STweaks to set up 2nd rom
am using a cyanogenmod 10.1 version as my 2nd rom
but it just boots into the cyanogen spinning logo - and goes no further!?
is the 4.2.1 not compatable?
thanks guys in advance
I'm not sure
After install 2nd rom you have to flash siyah kernel is it OK this part?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
yep reflashed the kernel
You will need to find out what Siyah kernel you are running as not all support dual boot.The latest version s3-v1.8.8 is meant to work with dual boot and has cm10.1 support.Check it out and download from here.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
Dont forget that after installing the second ROM you will have to re-install Siyah cos the secondary ROM probably wont have the correct kernel.Also a 4.2.1 ROM may need a different Siyah version than a 4.1.2 or a 4.1.1 ROM and this could also be the problem if you have 2 different firmwares running.
When on dual boot you have one kernel controling both.
ok that makes sense
have siyah version s3-v1.8.8 already running
reinstalled siyah after 2nd rom installation
still a no go
thought the siyah kernel was 'one kernel to rule them all'.......
or so it says.........

If I remember from when I dual booted a second ROM I had to full wipe install it.I imagine that you did but you could try and pass your primary ROM to secondary and full wipe install the new one.Then just swap them over again so the full wipe primary goes to secondary and the one you passed to secondary will come back as your main ROM.....if you get what I mean.Kind of a wierd explanation:silly:
The boot problen is definitly to me a kernel issue anyway.
yeah - will do the clone/swap thing!
by the way
are you part of the omega team?

Kernel 3.0.15-I9100BVLPD
Questions
1. How do i know if a certain rom i want to try is comparable for my phone ? Can i use any ROM for an I9100 or do i need to look for BVLPD or what ?
2. Seeing as my phone is a paid monthly sub to UK-T-Mob, do i need to have a t mobile compatible ROM ?
3. .........errrr. well i had more Q's but my minds gone blank :cyclops:.. ill post more when i remember.
Many Thx

You can flash any ROM you like, your carrier won't notice it. The only thing that may not work is the modem, but guess what? there's plenty of modems you can flash
Keep in mind that once you modify your ROM your warranty will be voided, so back it all up just in case.
If your device is I9100, then look for I9100's ROMs.

1. You can use any I9100 rom if its a UK phone. Just dont try and flash a I9100x rom.
2. See #1.
Please dont make your next questions be silly ones like "how do I root my phone" or "how do I flash a rom", These questions have obviously already been asked/answered already and also covered in sticky topics/guides.
All you need to do is reboot into download mode, flash Siyah kernel, wipe data and then flash whatever rom you choose via recovery.
Ok, cool, many thx guys... & yeah i've backed up my data & efs all ready..
Now i'm gonna go rom crazy for a bit.
lol TheATHEiST.. i was gonna ask just those Q's and ask whats the best rom ?. joke.. i've been reading up on how to do. phone is rooted via the easy not needing an insecure kernel method. gonna try Siyah & a duel boot.

I have another Q if anyone knows: i'm currently trying out duel boot, but tried one and it wouldn't work and am looking for others to try but not sure if they are comparable or not with duel boot.. so heres my question
The backup i made from the recovery in CWM before trying any ROMS, is it a ROM or just a backup like a ROM ? if i try another rom without duel booting and dont like it or it messes up will my backup put phone EXACTLY back how it was ?

It's a back up, you can't dual boot a back up. It's just sitting there for a....rainy day.
What ROMs are you trying? what kernel are you using?
Some kernels don't support dual boot, as well as some kernels don't support certain ROMs (like JB leak).
Go ahead and do some research on this matter, you got a lot of material to go around.

Hi again, i must have not been clear in what i meant. (i did edit my previous post to make it clearer but it said i have to wait 5 mins cus i'm a new member.. despite being registered for over 1 yr. my edit must have failed)
i know a backup cant dual boot, what i was asking is; the backup i make in CWM "before" attempting to mess with any ROMs, is it in its itself a ROM ? (or just a none zipped backup).. i was also asking after trying a ROM, if i didn't like it or it messed up my phone would the original backup i make put my phone back EXACTLY as it was ?
In the past few hrs i've tried to dual boot using the Siyah kernel..
1 SuperNexus 2.0 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076650 stuck on boot saying com.adroid stopped working (or something)
2. SlimBean ROM,, same error
3. Resurrection Remix rom.. it asked which kernel & modem i wanted to install so i aborted.
Due the these errors thats why i asked the above question, that IF i go ahead & try a ROM on its own without dual booting, will my backup put phone how it is now using the backup i made in CWM if things go wrong ?
Thx again for anyhelp
I still would like to try & dual boot but i may leave that for another time & just try a straight rom.
Peace
Another Q, is there a thread that lists all\most or a lot of ROM's, searching is killing me.. and as XDA is sooooooooooo bit i know a thread with them all could be right under my nose.
Thx

Lol, that was some snappy typing.
If things goes south, yes, everything goes back the way it was by the time you backed it up.
What kernel are you using again? Here, have a look.
Thx
I'm using the Siyah kernel.....
Yeah i used the guides linked from that thread but i only tried the 1st method (didn't work) ... now i know my back up is good i think ill go ahead & try the 2nd method.
Thx again G
Good luck man.
I am a newbie regarding android roms and all that .. and I need help ..
As I see dual booting in galaxy S2 .. I was wondering if I can .. then after some study on this site .. I get to know how to root .. now my phone is rooted but dont have CWM installed .. I tried to flash CWM .. it starts CWM successfully .. but after rebooting it again it start samsung recovery .. so my question here is .. Can I just flash CWM nd then Siyah Kernel same time without rebooting between each flash .. and One thing is that can I use my Samsung original Rom (4.1.2) as primary Rom and other rom (Resurrection Remix) as secondary ???
-*-*-*-*
I have tried my self .. when flashing Siyah Kernel .. it says some thing like asserts ... or like that .. and failed to flash kernel ..
now what am I suppose to do for flashing Siyah kernel or any better kernel for dual booting ... ??

1) If you really want help, you need to use a better title than 'Need help. Plenty of people will not even bother to read your thread in the first place due to that alone (you're lucky I'm bored right now).
2) The reason CWM isn't persisting after you reboot is because recovery is baked into the kernel on the SGS2 & isn't a separate partition like other phones. So if you want permanent CWM, you need to flash a custom kernel.
3) If you flash Siyah on it's own, you will end up with a rooted phone + CWM & you can go from there. I suspect the reason you got those errors are you used the wrong build for the particular Android version you are running. If you want to make it easy for yourself, I suggest you read the first page of the Siyah thread carefully then download the Odin version you need for the Android version you're running (I forget which is which; haven't run Siyah for >12 mths) & flash that.
Yes, you can dual boot with Siyah. There are detailed instructions in the Siyah threads, and there have also been a multitude of dual boot how-to's written (search in both cases).

3) If you flash Siyah on it's own, you will end up with a rooted phone + CWM & you can go from there. I suspect the reason you got those errors are you used the wrong build for the particular Android version you are running. If you want to make it easy for yourself, I suggest you read the first page of the Siyah thread carefully then download the Odin version you need for the Android version you're running (I forget which is which; haven't run Siyah for >12 mths) & flash that.
Yes, you can dual boot with Siyah. There are detailed instructions in the Siyah threads, and there have also been a multitude of dual boot how-to's written (search in both cases).

thanx bro for ur reply .. nd yeah U are ryt for title thing .. I realized the same thing after posting the issue .. yeah I have read the Kernel thread nd I have flashed with the ryt version ( latest) ""Siyah-s2-v6.0b5-CWM"" I think this is the latest version of Siyah I could get from the Siyah Kernel site for S2 ..
If I consider to flash Dorimanx .. I think this is also dual boot supported .. what u guys reccomend .. ???
V6.0b5 is the latest siyah kernel he made. For dualbooting I would recommend dorimanx 8.xx as you will be able to run a modded stock Sammy rom and a aokp/cm rom at the same time. ? if you use 9.xx dorimanx kernel you will only be able to run aokp/cm roms.
8.32 dorimanx is rock stable running both custom and modded stock roms imo.

thanx mate .. with dormanx 8.32 I will be able to use stock samsung Jb ( primary) with other secondary rom .. ?? am I ryt ..
Yes you can pick any stock Rom but it needs to be running a modded updater script for the preload. Then custom or another modded stock rom in 2nd rom. Look up @Troubadour666 he's made many dualboot threads and is a nice guy. Speak to him on all things dualboot. Can't go wrong with his advice :thumbup:
