Hello, I have an S3 LTE version, I'm currently running CM KitKat, but the bugs (mainly the camera) annoy me very much. I wish to downgrade to some stock based 4.1.2 CF, TGP or something, but I fear that it will format allof my data, because I have heard that KitKat started partitioning the drives differently. Is it safe? The camera on CM 11 freezes randomly thus making it unusable for me. I've read the FAQ and this is disturbing:
How can I return to a 4.3 ROM from 4.4 ROM?
Flash a 4.2 Kernel (or lower for lower versions) and use the CWM Recovery to do the Full wipes, flash the 4.3 ROM you want and reboot.
Do I need to do anything else than installing the ROM if it's got the AROMA Installer?

When installing the Unofficial CM 10.1 JB 4.2.1 ROM on the Razr, being on the JB kernel; some users said that it soft-bricked their phone, stuck in the boot animation.
I can't post in that thread so I made it here to share that I got passed that with deleting the Rom Slot 1 in Safe Strap 3.11, and recreating it. Once I did that I installed the ROM, booted, shut down, installed the GApps and was good from there. I still have the camera/gallery force close problem but still.
I had installed the leaked OTA JB, and had been on a ROM based on that when I did this. Hope that helps.
Hello. Recently I've installed CM 10.2 with installer. Phone doesn't seem to be rooted,as installer may have locked it again? The thing is I want to root it and the question is ,do I do it the same way I found on some guide for 4.1.2 stock JB, where they first use Jeboo kernel, then root phone, or I go straight to root? I am confused since I cm 10.2 is android 4.3 jb version and I believe it has different kernel than stock already.

Does anyone here know if there is a i777 compatible kernel for the galaxy s2 i9100 5.1 lollipop roms . I have tried using Shift- Eternal- lollipop kernel. It was compatible with the i9100 5.0 lollipop CM Resurrection_remix ROM, but I have not been able to get it to work with the 5.1 release.. I have tried replacing the boot image file from cyanide L 5.1. It boots but there is no wifi or Mobile data.

No, sorry. @rogersb11's kernel is pretty much the only game in town now. It's possible (purely speculative) that you've run into problems because he builds his own kernel instead of CM's, and RR is basically CM with added features so you would need a pure CM kernel to port.
Again, that's a guess, as that's how it used to work. He's posted an update to his rom; did you try pulling the kernel from that update?
Steve, thanks for taking the time to reply. I was afraid that was the case. Rogerb11 first 5.1 release was without his lollipop kernel. he stated that he was having problems with his kernel with wifi. I tried porting that kernel and I believe that it just boot looped. His second release with his kernel booted, but then I experienced problems with wifi and mobile. Hopefully he will release a 5.1 standalone kernel that can be ported over to the i9100 ROMs.
The truth is I have not been able to find a stable lollipop rom yet for my phone. The closest was resolution remix 5.02. and I was wanting to try the 5.1 version. Will keep checking the forum. Thanks again
Downgrade S3 to KitKat from Lollipop
So I installed Ressurection Remix Lollipop rom on my s3 but it' has to much bugs. I want to go back to kitkat. I tried to flash a kitkat rom but it failed and i can't find any instructions on the web. Could someone please help me ? Thanks in advance.
Did you wiped data and cache before installing?
TWRP recovery is the best nowadays.
Wipe Cache/dalvic after installation.
If you used Arter kernel on 5.1.1 based rom, then you should flash stock firmware via odin in order to gain wifi again.
I'm new to s2's modding, i'm currently on last stock 4.1.2 rom and i want to install the latest stable version xosp rom.
In addition to this what do i need to download? And also which are the best settings of internal system (like cpu, partition, ecc)?
P.S. I nedd guides to root and install the right twrp.
