Just follow the instructions on the first page of the CM-thread.
There isn't a stable version (yet), so so don't expect a full working rom without any (minor) bugs if you install CM10.2.

Blazing kernel is for i9100G. If you don't have an i9100G steer well clear of blazing kernel.

Then don't go for Cyanogenmod, because it's still under development. Why don't you flash a Samsung based custom rom? Maybe it's wiser to start with, and if you get a little familiar with all this, you can go for roms like CM.
Edit: make sure you flash the right ones, so for the I9100G!

I'm not really familiar with the I9100G and the available roms, but I assume you can see for yourself (if you read the threads) what people like and don't like about a rom. The choice is up to you, because everybody got his/her own preferences

don't use ROM manager to flash anything on your device. It has caused many problems for many people already.
Flash with CWM recovery.
It's very easy to use.
BTW, what's your ROM details?

Forgot to mention talking to a noob. Can talk about jailbreak I stuff but android is new territory for me. Rom details as in my current os rom or the one I d/led?

That was quick.
If iunderstood you properly, your aim is to flash Miui ROM, right?
I'm not sure if you are rooted or even have access to CWM recovery.
Anyway, follow this instruction:
- You will need root access. If you have let me know.
- You will need CWM recovery. If you have, let me know.
- have you found your desired miui ROM? If yes, post the link to the Rom thread
- why do you want to flash an miui ROM, is it because it looks like an iPhone? If yes, there may be other alternatives.
Waiting for your response.

on Xda, you cannot ask for ROM recommendation. Questions like that go through PM. If you want me to recommend you any ROM, send me a PM.
My aim is to help you install/flash your desired Rom safely.

Yes it will he is working on it.
i read somewhere that if you want cm 10.1 as your second rom you have to install it as you first, primary rom, and then swap or clone it to second rom (ofc you need to backup first your primary rom).
I wanted to test it but i dont have time... but maybe it will help you.
yea

Installing jelly bean

I have a rooted galaxy s2 with an xwlp7 kernel. The jelly bean rom i saw was 4.1.2 XXLSJ. Will this work with my kernel?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
The kernel you currently have has no relation to a different ROM which has its own kernel.
Or to directly answer your odd question, no, your current non-JB kernel certainly will not work with a JB ROM.
But if you mean you want to install the JB-leak (or didn't you mean that?): that is possible. Your current kernel will be replaced.
Sent from the Matrix
Yes I meant the leaked version. Was just wondering if it can be done before attempting.

Yes that is possible. You can flash the official one, or one from a developer (I personally would recommend Neatrom). Good luck.

You could look for a jelly bean ROM but just in case look for Ice Cream Sandwich ROM first . Then flash it and when you get the jelly bean ROM you're going to need to download the kernel for it

its on the first post of the tread.
Status 7 error just means that their are some asserts in the rom that act up when the proper recovery version isn't being used. If your going to flash Carbon KK rom your Cwm needs to be 6.0.4.8 or 6.0.5.0

That won't work, you need to flash a rom in order to update your recovery as continue to upgrade from different android versions. Try flashing a ics rom and your recovery will go up.
