I rooted my S2 GT-I9100 to hopefully get around and never have a possible BrickBug issue.
I have:
S2 GT-I9100
Android version 4.1.2
Rooted: Kernel version [email protected] #57
Build # JZ054K.I9100XWLSD
So now I have this done, and from what I am understanding, the brick bug will not effect me since I am past stock 4.0.4 recovery.
So now if I wish to load custom Rom, with (Using FREE ROM Manager v5.5.2.3) I installed while non rooted in android 4.1.2 or Using the one Siyah loaded when I rooted? (CWM Manager v3.15)which is the right one to go with to load a custom rom? I am assuming the one Siyah loaded with the "Stock Kernel", like these 2 roms CM, and Aokp. Looked and find no device listed for GT-I9100. on the sites that serve the packages. Enlighten me please.
Your right 4.0.4 is the only brick bug software. Dont use rom manager or any other app to flash a custom rom. Use cwm recovery to do that.

OK, thanks! Now what Rom? I like CM, and aokp, but both dont seem to list my device.... How would I locate a rom that fits my device? I like the aspects of both roms mentioned because they allow customization, and they are well known.

No CM for S2 ? Impossible.Search.BTW,I recommend you a custom stock ROM.Best stabily and battery life,and good overall performance.BTW,if you want very big and good customization,go with Biftor ROM V12 and Biftor Aroma Mod V5.

If I go this direction do I need to go with the kernel you show loaded in your device?

It isn't neccesary,but you can install Apolo kernel for better performance and battery.

Before or after the loading of a new rom? Is it a rooted kernel?
Look, since you have a rooted device (GT I9100 right?), you can flash a rom through CWM. Choose some YOU like, because it's personal.
Afterwards you CAN choose to flash another kernel, but it's not a must. Choose one you like, again.

How to know which kernel is correct?
As of now I am using Sensation rom which has Siyah kernel 2.5.2 and I want to flash speedmod kernel or N.E.A.K. Kernel,
N.E.A.K. Kernel only supports sammy roms
I tried to search but I could not find out if Sensation rom is aosp or sammy do you have any idea of it?
also does speedmod kernel support both as nothing it written about it on its thread
Thanks

Normally on the first page of a rom thread you will get a description what is the rom. For example MIUI is well MIUI. Hyperdroid is sammy deodex rom with of course modifications and tweaks in the build to make it better than stock.
Sensation rom is sammy deodex no aosp nothing like that. And when you normally look for an AOSP rom it normally would say it in the heading of the thread anyway.
On the kernel thread it has a guide of what roms the kernel works on and which ones it does not. Siyah works basically with any rom. CM7 to AOSP to sammy deodex. Regarding Simone's kernel which is the NEAK version or something like that it is based on only sammy stock deodex roms and that is mainly the ones in original development and android..just look out for deodex, sammy and stock rom
AS above its all a question of reading the info on the first page of the kernel post .
Plus if it does not work flash another one .
the Neak kernel should be ok been on mine for a few days .
Speedmod likewise ok have used it before .

Thanks everyone for their wonderful help!
I have got one last question
Speedmod kernel says "it is only for Samsung Gingerbread ROMs. It will not work with CyanogenMod or MIUI ROMS!"
does this means it will not work with sensation rom?
Edit: ok looks like the different versions are just the updated ones
But still the question is if it supports sensation rom?

Now, if you look at the VERY FIRST page for SensatioN ROM,, it says:
SensatioN ROM Features:
-Based on Samsung Firmware XWKK5 Android 2.3.6
With all of this information, you should be able to deduce that the Speedmod kernel WILL work with your ROM. If you still don't understand, I'm going to suggest you don't flash anything to your phone, for fear of ending up with a paperweight.
Ok this time I understand everything
I didn't knew that Sammy roms means that the ROM is based on Samsung's stock ROM
Also I thought that speedmod only works on stock ROM so all this things got me confused
But anyways now its all clear

hi guys,
i wanna ask you senious guys that,should i have to change the kernel each time if i want to change the ROM of my galaxy s II or any kernel will work with any ROM?
kindly assist me in this matter.thanks.
What type of Rom are you trying to flash?
Most custom roms include a kernel so you you will have to refresh back to your preferred kernel.
Or you can open the zip file and replace the kernel of your choice as long as it matches your firmware version, ie GB kernel for a GB rom etc.

any kernel may not work with any ROMs...almost all samsung firmware versions has got its own versions of Kernel.
In SGS2 normaly custom kernels are used for rooting your phone, like CF-root, whcih are made for almost all the samsung firamware matched kernels, you only want to pick the one matching for your ROM.
It is also seen sometimes advised to back up your Kernel, this can be done using a tool from Market called "Ktool", at a worst scenario, when your installed custom kernel giving you a treble you can restore the previous one.
EDIT : you are already on a custom ROM as well as Custom Kernel. both have got their newer versions alredy.
checkrom is now on V6, and Siyah kernel is now on v2.6.14
Well your still on gingerbread and an early kernel and early checkrom. There are many roms and kernels you can try the best for battery life us what works best for you and only you can figure that out with testing.
Try out an ICS Rom if you haven't done so already and there are now custom kernels for that as well.

I meant the kernel that is already included with the rom when you flash it. So just flash the rom and you don't need to install another kernel after it.
Here is a link to the Resurrection rom:

Hope this helped you
If you flash a rom it replaces the kernel you've been using with that of the rom you're flashing...
Soooo
Eg cm9 + siyah
If you flash a new nightly it'll replace siyah with cm9s kernel so you have to flash siyah each time.
Think that makes sense..!

well u can install cm10, but not with rom manager but thro CWM recovery, since rom manager has some issues.
the stock kernel that comes with the rom is really good.
in order to check ur kernel go to Systemsettings>about phone and under kernel version u see ur kernel

No, your kernel won't be touched. Just make sure it's possible to flash the new second rom with the Siyah kernel you use right now.

Well that obviously depends on which version of Siyah you want to use as they all support different bases.
You would be much better off finding a rom you like and then flashing the appropriate Siyah kernel for it. However you can start off on any kernel version you like as custom rom will replace with its own kernel anyway so just flash Siyah again afterwards.
Also please note that this type of question is not allowed for various reason.

Hello.
Can anyone help? I installed custom Dorimanx kernel over stock 4.1.2.
Now I don't like it, it was working smoother with the stock kernel...
Can anyone tell me how to uninstall Dorimanx kernel? Or tell me where I can find stock kernel for this version "I9100XWLSS"?
I did not backup... I did not expect the custom kernel to be so... :|
Thank you.
AdBlock Plus
And can anyone tell me how to make the phone work with AdBlock Plus for Android? The app needs to set a network proxy and proxy port. But if you do that, some apps can't connect to the internet.
I saw on a Sony that ABP didn't require any proxy or other settings, and it was working perfectly fine...

I'm not sure if there's a stock kernel out there flashable through cwm. I think in order to get back to stock kernel u need to flash ur stock rom again.

Here u can find your rom.
But honestly I'd suggest u stick with custom kernel, if u don't like dorimanx I'd suggest speedmod kernel or better apollo kernel.

Are you sure this isn't just a simple Custom Recovery with Root? If I install this, will it also overwrite the Custom Kernel, or just the Custom Recovery and Root?
@gsstudios: Ok, I installed Philz Custom Recovery "with" kernel based on "stock", and I see it fixed the other issue too. Now AdBlock Plus doesn't require additional proxy settings, it blocks ads on every connection without them.
Though I still have 2 apps I can't get rid of... I don't want to rewrite the entire firmware, so I deactivated them.
Thank you!
