I recently heard about PAC MAN ROM 4.2.2 for Galaxy GT I9100 which is hybrid of different ROMs like Paranoid, CynogenMod etc. I wanted to know how much stable is this ROM in terms of performance and battery life. Additionally, is custom kernel and CWM required to install this ROM or simply flashing the new ROM will do the job? I really am looking forward to installing this ROM in my phone
I have rooted S2 GT I 9100 with official 4.1.2, stock recovery and stock kernel.

That depends on each user mate. I suggest you read user opinions in the ROM's thread to find out.

Like all custom ROMs, PACman ROM requires CWM and root. You don't need a custom kernel per se, but flashing a custom kernel is the best way to get root as well as CWM.

Can you please suggest me a stable custom Kernel that would be comparatively safe for my device GT I9100. I would be quite glad if you would help me with it...:good:
In discussing about the kernel in this thread in post# 619 pg 62 Viper has suggested me with Philz Kernel and FAQs of PacMan ROM, they suggest Dorimax Kernel for my device. So, are these kernel better in performance than the stock kernel or not and does performance of ROM depend upon kernel as well? Since I can backup my ROM and flash new ROM with temporary CWM, I am thinking of using it instead of other custom kernel so as not to mess up with my stock kernel.

Actually all custom kernels are safe. Just make sure (by reading the instructions) you flash the compatible one.
Philz-kernel for example cannot be used with PAC. Just try the stock kernel. If you don't like it, you can try (for example) Dorimanx kernel.

So if I want to try different ROMs can Dorimanx do the job for me? And since my device is already rooted do I need to unroot first before flashing new kernel which have rooting functionality?

No you don't need to un-root and like her said.......read the instructions and search forums for specific kernals for specific ROMs. I'm not sure but I don't think dorimanx is compatible with ALL ROMs.
Anyone clarify?

Restoring to stock
After flashing PACMan version of 4.2.2, if I need to for warranty, can I simply go to CWM recovery and restore previously created backup of my stock ROM?

No, you need to do a back up to your pc first using kies preferably.....this will make sure its put back to stock standard for warranty purposes.

Error in /emmc/...while flashing Pac Man 4.2
I tried to flash PacMan 4.2 but encountered problem. Posted my issue in this thread but no solution received yet.
Got error message something like
"assert failed get prop ("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" ||getprop("ro.buil.product")==galaxys2.....Error in /emmc/[file location]....Installation aborted..."
Tried to flash pac_i9100_4.2-milestone.1.release_20130806-205645.zip (MD5sum: 5e569d28ae20c0dbb45c71a212a35ce4)
I searched the forum but some say its problem with CWM recovery and others tell about corrupted file. I downloaded file twice incl previous release of the ROM. I even explored the zipped file and could navigate to most of the folders which I think that suggests that file is fine (no corrupted download).
I used temporary CWM v. 6.0.1.4. Should I try Dorimanx Kernel as the developer of ROM suggests the kernel for the ROM.
I currently have official JB 4.1.2, stock recovery and kernel. GT I9100.

Sorry for the stupidity! I got JB on my last Galaxy before it broke I'm just confused because I did it a different was last time. Thanks for the help!
just flash a custom kernel with ODIN. That'll give you CWM recovery. then you can flash whatever you want.

Ok, is Odin 1.85 sufficient (or is there a newer one) and then can I just flash it with Siyah 4.1.4?
IDK much about Odin. But if it worked for ya the first time it should be good.
for the kernel, you must find one in a format Odin uses and not in the normal .zip which requires CWM recovery to flash.
Right now .tar is the only one that comes to mind for Odin.

I would flash a kernel that is compatible with whatever ROM you have currently. Then flash a JB ROM from CWM . Flash Siyah after you have JB if that is the kernel you want. I think you would get boot looped if kernel and ROM are mismatched.

the only point in flashing a kernel compatible with a ROM, would be if you wanted to boot into the ROM.
Yes, flashing a kernel meant for a different version will most likely bootloop.
You can flash any kernel you want if you have no intentions on booting the system.
Recovery inside the kernel has nothing to do with what ROM your running. Will always be able to boot into recovery. Or **** broke
I give you lots of credit for reading not to use rom manager!

If you use Mobile Odin you can flash a custom kernel that will install CWM and then flash a custom ROM with CWM. I do this so I do not mess with the flash counter.

It sounds like you're taking the same route I did to root my phone. I first flashed a rooted, stock ICS ROM, then I flashed the Siyah kernel using Mobile Odin, then I eventually went on to flash a JB ROM (SuperNexus) using Mobile Odin. I'm sure I could have skipped that step of flashing Siyah because SuperNexus flashes a CM kernel anyway, but I kinda didn't know what I was doing.
hey guys.. i am on stock ics rom , unrooted. and i am going to flash cm10.1 on my s2, but am really confused, in some videos on youtube to root and get cwm they use cfroot wid the basband versions.. should i follow the method? and then flash cm10.1.? but in the cm 10.1 thread its mentioned to use the kernel specifed in the thread. but in the thread there are no baseband versions just a single .tar file... what should i do.. call me a noob but please help..! how should i proceed.. ?

I think you are misunderstanding some things.. You must first root your phone with cf-root AND THEN, you must flash the Rom with the specified kernel. But you can take a shortcut by flashing siyah kernel. You don't need to rely on baseband version.

No. Did you read the first post on the CM10.1 Thread?
You have to be running an ics stock rom and then root it.
Afterwards you can then proceed to flash CM10.1.

so you mean to say that flashing the siyah kernal will directly give me root? Or will i have to use super one click app after flashing the kernel to gain root? One more thing have you tried the method you gave?
Yes it will, no need for any super one click. Once uve flashed siyah, reboot in recovery (which will now be cwm recovery), make a nandroid before you flash anything. Would be a good idea to back up your apps using titanium backup, your sms msgs with an app like sms backup and restore etc. Then proceed to flash the rom, gapps, make wipes etc.

TBH we all have to find out the info at some point and this is my time to find out.
True, but you have to know the basics before flashing or else youll be the one with the non working phone.
Eg.If you had read a little bit about nand backups, you could have your phone back to how it was in 5 mins, before you messed with other roms.
So once you have your rooted phone to your liking you make a backup.Then if you try another rom and dont like it, boot into cwm and restore your backup in 5 mins.

It could be that the zip download is corrupted. Try re-downloading and flash again.
If not, flash Siyah v4 kernel via recovery or odin then try flashing desired rom again.

If you cant flash rom after you have Siyah kernel installed then as mentioned above you will need to try and restock via ODIN.

I think dorimanx will replace your cwm with its own version(I am on 6.0.4.8), but there is not much difference. You can always flash the newer version if you really need it.
Odin won't see it as it is not a .tar file, just flash it from recovery. It is recommended if you are not re-flashing the rom to use the kernelwipe script from @hawkerpaul to make sure there are no issues from residual files from the old kernel.
I don't know about a custom boot-animation, it may be possible but not something that is a feature of the kernel

No, that would install the stock kernel again. If you have been using the rom as is for a while I would use the kernelwipe script, then just flash the dorimanx kernel from recovery, then just reboot into system. You can flash the kernel without the script but you run the risk of bugs because of left over files from the previous kernel.

Hey guys,
My SGS2 just got soft-bricked, stuck on samsung logo. I didn't do nothing actually, just restarted my phone.
I have rooted phone with stock OS (latest one) on it a long time ago.
I can enter into recovery mode. Tried to wipe data with no luck.
BUT I want to make a backup. I read that if I install CWM recovery I will be able to mount USB storage to make backups. Is it possible to backup contacts using USB?
I also read that on SGS2 devices CWM will update OS's kernel so I will have to install new OS. Is it true?
Anyway, is it possible to make a full backup in this case?

"A recovery is a kernel and a kernel is a recovery"
If your current OS supports the new kernel then there won't be a need to install a new OS.

How to check if my OS supports new kernel?
What is more important is that if I install CWM breaking my current ROM and make a full backup will I be able to restore this backup on new ROM?
I ask this because I found the following warning:
"Warning: For GT-i9100 and SGH-i777, installing CWM or TWRP recovery also installs kernel. This is only recommended to install when installing a new custom ROM. Installing CWM/TWRP recovery will most likely break the ROM you are running currently as it overwrites the ROM’s kernel."

Simple. Just read the information provided by the threads. If you are on official jelly bean, use Apolo Kernel 4.15b or Siyah Kernel (Although this is outdated now). For Lollipop, you can either use DorimanX kernel 11.0 or CM12.1 kernel with TWRP by Lysergic acid (If you want to use CM12.1). For kitkat, you can use DorimanX kernel 10.45 by Me or 10.44 by Cybernetus, Gustavo kernel (make sure you install KK version) or Apolo Kernel 7.3.

It depends on what ROM you are using. If you install the correct kernel, the ROM will not break at all.

Hi! Is there any way to check the version of ROM I use on this phone? Maybe from recovery mode?
P.S.: I used latest OS which came through official update on SGS2 in Europe. It was something like 4.2.3 or 4.3.3.
If it was the last/latest/final official update, it would have been 4.1.2 Jellybean.....

Hm... That's strange... I was pretty sure I had 4.3.3 .
OK, let's imagine I install CWM with newer kernel breaking my ROM... what if I install older version after that? Will my ROM be back to work?
It *might* well be ok.....but having never intentionally installed the wrong kernel, I'm not going to stake my life on that as I have ZERO experience of that scenario....

Stock 4.3.3 doesn't exist
Samsung only provided android version 4.1.2 as the last version.
If you install a older kernel after flashing the wrong kernel, your ROM should work again. Once again, the "older" kernel needs to be the correct version for the ROM.
If you do install the wrong kernel, your ROM will not boot and will either give you black screen or bootloop or phone constantly rebooting. So you need to quickly get to the recovery using the button combinations.
