My first SII - Galaxy S II General

hello SII owners i just got mine 30 mins ago love it! i had the ace before this and i must say what a difference anyways there is so much choice on roms i really have no idea what is good and what is not, if someone could point me in the right direction on a decent rom for this monster i would be very happy iam not sure on when samsung are going release ics but i do not want to wait *_* thanks in advance.

Check if it is i9100 or i9100G first.
Then you can head ahead.

Good enough.
Go root your phone. Try Checkrom in the original thread. You will find it very good. GB at it's best.

Hmm
Check settings>about phone model number and make sure its i9100
EDIT:i did open this page 10 mins ago and posted a replay now so the above post clears it up...

MIUI
I suggest you also to try MIUI, it's a good and stable ROM (based on ICS 4.0.3) but it has a big iOS feeling, but it's worth to try
I also have my SII since a few months, and I'm currently running ICS Remix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854) it's a good rom but it has a few bugs here and there, but it has a ASOP look and feel

Welcome to the GSII, please read the sticky threads in the General section for all info if you're just starting out
We close these threads because we get a lot and the consensus is "try one until you find one you like". To find a ROM that people are using, sort the development forums by "Stats"

Gingerbread for Galaxy 3

Hi All,
I think there has been a lot of enthusiasm about Gingerbread theme and themed ROMs. But any idea whether there would be a Gingerbread 2.3 ROM for G3?
Is there anyone who is working for the same? Since Cyanogen mod does not still work for G3, one of you would need to take the initiative to make a custom rom running Gingerbread for Galaxy 3.
bye
Nandi
anyone present here can only modify roms at most and give some fixes they cant build a whole rom, only samfimware or Samsung guys can do that and this is not the right place to discuss that go to general forum.

hi
said right my friend or u can also use the Q & A thread
Thread moved to general
I don't think that there will be a 2.3 ROM for the G3 in this life. 2.2 is not released by now and you ask for 2.3?
Samsung has not listed this phone for 2.3 upgrade and its not gona happen for ever.
The only chance we got is using CM7 and port it for SG 3. I have started working on it, hope it gets me atleast some where.

Awesome. Please do that.
BTW, is there any ROM currently available for SG3 on Cyanogen?

Nope none of the CM version are supported for SG3
Cyanogen + galaxy 3 = 2

Officially yes, and you are not alone. If you want 2.2 now flash a 2.2 rom. Go to the development section and the stickied thread that starts with READ FIRST to learn more
@braveBuddy Great to know you're working towards porting CM on G3..hope more dev.s join you to make it happen..

[Q] ICS - badbadbad news!!!!!!!!11111111

Could someone please clean this thread, and maybe set one sticky titled "no more cry about lack of official ICS for Galaxy S I-9000, please" ?
Currently, everyone who is above 7y.o., reads somewhere that Galaxy S will have not ICS, then immediately announces this disaster in new thread here, instead of going with cry to his/her mum shouting: "mummy, mummy, those ugly uncles from Samsung will not give me the ICS, could you kick them or tell daddy!!!111".
Announcements, petitions, prays, God only know what else... seriously? Is the XDA wall of cry for any kiddo?
Nearly all devs are going to take them ROM at ICS, it shouldn't be a problem that ICS doesn't come officially to our SGS1 .. CyanogenMod wasn't a official ROM or Firmware as well
Chill out
No need for Samsung ics with TW .. just give teamhacksung's ICS Port and Onecosmic's ICS Port a try , working very well with me

On s2 or tab?
If you are porting just for the heck of it do it and have fun.Having said that I would suggest you not to put your efforts in porting. Google is going to release source mid July, all your efforts will go waste in another 15 days. Wait for 15 days take the source and then build something for SII.
galaxy nexus rom is the most modified in coorperate with google and samsung!
if u see the lockscreen layout and the modifications from google, than gnexus rom is awesom

We can expect a fully working rom in mid July after the sources are out.
I guess I can wait two more weeks for JB on my GS2

Will take time as cm9 took to get fully functional
its better to work in a team and port instead of one doing it lol
following this steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739561 won't get it to boot
We REALLY don't need another topic for this do we? Be patient for goodness sakes. Advertise that you are looking for team members in the jellybean discussion thread, or use IRC to contact each other. Source is coming out soon, just wait.
Well Let´s hope that Jelly Bean is more similar to ics than ics was to gb..
I guess it is and therefore Cm10 will be booting soon.
Thread closed
No, we really don't need another thread, move this discussion here.

just bought my p7500. help

I want to update my tab to ICS or even JB if possible.
I've read a couple of guides and threads of what to do and what's not working.
I already did my research. I just want to make sure..
What's the custom / stock(if its performance is better than HC) ROM that is nearly perfectly working?
and where can I get the stock ICS? :\ I can't seem to see it. (sorry)
and is there an ICS / JB Rom that has its camera working?

Hi I suggest that you go here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831040
Get your stock ICS ROM from samfirmware.com and check the development section for custom ROMs, there are a few that are stock but deodexed ready for modding yourself if you so wish, our you can get tasks ROM which is tweaked.
Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.

thank you so much!
wait. is this rom any good? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813651
I've read that there's a face unlock so... I assume both of the camera is working?
sorry I'm just being extra cautious. don't want my tab to get brick or something. :x
again thank you!
They are all based on official Sammy releases, so they will have fully working cameras.

Newer Android for Galaxy Tab S2 10.1

@Android-Andi could you please provide a guide for building a ROM for this device to compile and create an Android Go version or keep updated your excellent job? I would like to contribute, thank you.
Firstly this isnt Galaxy Tab S2 this is Galaxy Tab 2
Next he isnt obliged to do that! There are tons of tutorials available on internet as well as on XDA
Iirc Andi left development and we should be thankful to him for keeping our tab alive
I myself am trying to upstream kernel if i succeed we might get new android versions
Well this is great news! I have minor problems on my tab 10.1 and 7.0 like it being sometimes very slow which is common for android 7 unfortunately. I wish both of you the best of luck!

I hope so too! and perhaps it will happen because the samsung tab 1 10.1 received android oreo, I don't see why this shouldn't happen to samsung tab 2 10.1 and 7.0

I recently installed 6.01 on my old Tab 2. I used lineageOS13 from android Andi. It's nice and stable, but would love to get updates and security patches.
Why does official lineageos not support the galaxy tab 2?
