Custom ROM's for SGSII

Hi There!
I notice to date there is just the one custom ROM, and usually (I think) they are coming thick and fast by now. I am not complaining, but wondering if there is a reason other than a lack of stock? Is there less interest in custom ROMS for the SGS II, or is it harder, or is it a case of no point since the phone is brilliant regardless?

Theres a number of factors to consider... Custom roms need skilled devs with the actual phone.. And spare time to work on it.. The devs that make these roms do it for no fee and just because they are good people and want to improve the scene for everyone else.. It will take time and momentum to start seeing different roms.. But great question..
We are very lucky we already have some awesome people on the case like Supercurio who is a legend and has made some incredible things happen to the original Samsung Galaxy..
And pulsar who has made some fantastic Villian roms for the Hero and other phones..

For me, it's lack of time...
I'm trying to write some apps for the SGS2, whilst juggling a load of "real" work as well...
I think I'll start to look at a VERY stripped down rom in the next week or so
But yes, as stated above, I only got the phone on Wednesday, so I'm actually trying to still figure out what I like about it, and what I don't... So for a huge number of people, the phone is still only 2 days old
I'll try and get some more VRTweaks up, then we can look at having some fun and seeing how lean we can make this thing
And yeah, this don't pay the bills, other stuff does that, so there's only a few hours each day available...

Also worth considering is that this is a very new device. I've come over from the SGS which I only bought in February, and there are still an enormous amount of themes/ROMs being made for it, and the SGS is ca. 1 year old. And I think I tried every one of them too.
All good things come to he who waits..

Most important thing we're all waiting for CWM or other recovery to flash unsigned zips

iPhone 4s to galaxy note

Hi. Introduce me. Im an apple fanboy since 2004, and i owned everything apple produced from mac to iDevices.
Been using iphone all my life until the 4s. It's a great phone but lacking bigger screen.
So i decided to buy a galaxy note because im amazed by the big screen and high resolution of the display.
From my first day use, i regretted buying an android device because my galaxy note seemed lagging even doing something simple like scrolling a website.
Then enter the xda forum and i heard only good things about rooting and installing ics stunner.
It took me 2 days to learn about it and i finnaly managed to installed it on my brand new note.
Boy i couldn't be happier. This rom makes android much smoother, though iphone 4s is a bit smoother but u wouldn't mind since the small screen of iphone makes it unpleasant to use.
Lucky i already got the ipad 3 to play games on it because devs seem to make games on app store alot, much much more than in google's appstore, so i don't need a phone to play games anymore.
That's why i switched to android, oh the openness is amazing, you can set default apps for some tasks, share everything so easy to fb, twitter, whatsapp, etc etc, customization. Good lord where have i been all my life.
Thanks for reading my experience.

welcome ;D
At the moment i have galaxy note and had ipod touch 4g ( sold one week ago) i didnt like ios 5.1 because it had a lot of limitations, for example i even couldnt made battery percentage without jailbreak and etc. Thats why i have sold ipod because of too limited operating system. With my first android device i thought damn android is so difficult but after some months it become for me the best OS ;D just need some time to get used with android ;D

Yeah Android isn't quite as smooth as iOS yet, but you get a lot more functionality/openness in return. I should warn you that all (I think) ICS ROMs use leaked kernels which are known to have a risk of bricking, especially when wiping/flashing. And probably when handling large files as well. Look up Entropy512's posts for more info.
I flashed the DAFUQ kernel with PC Odin after hearing about this. Still using Stunner but now more safely. It's kinda buggy now, though, but still beats going back to Gingerbread in my book.

Well, besides the other benefits of the switch, you can now tell your apple friends ( I would be one, and say this too) that you have the only retina display device with a wacom tablet digitizer under it.

Welcome to the Android family, adichandra! Nice to see you here & I wish you a lot of fun with your note!
Like the preposter has already mentioned: the leaked LP kernels are not that safe atm and may harm your emmc...I LOVED stunner as well (it is a HELL of a rom^^), but due to some bad experiences by other users I switched back to Gingerbread (just for the next few weeks, I´m sure that the next leak/official ICS is in the pipeline).
A more secure alternative may be XplodWilDs CM9, which is here on the board as well. But if you want to switch, read the OP carefully --> you should go back to GB before flashing!

He is right, Xplod CM9 is more safe than the leaked version. Im using it now and ver satisfy with it!

Once official ICS comes out with a an official kernel, things will really start to ramp up here as far as development. But even on Gingerbread, my phone is almost as fluid as an iPhone 4S, since I keep very minimal apps on the phone. I only download an app if I can't do the same function on the browser and I don't really game on my phone. So far, the Note has been the best phone I have owned and I can't wait to see what Samsung has in store for the Galaxy S III since that technology is what we'll see in the Note 2.

Welcome to android family.
I guess im the only 1 that doesnt think ios is extremly smooth. Wife ip4s lags like any newer android device.

thanks for the warm welcome.
about those who experienced a bad luck with their note getting bricked, is it suddenly getting bricked when im using it or is it bricking when im flashing to the stunner's upcoming updates?.
let's say if im sticking with the current rom and not doing any flashing at all, is it going to brick my device too when let's say while im browsing?

yeh for me ios lagged too, ipod touch 4g= iphone 4 just without call and sms functions, got laggs while playing nba 2k12, surfing the net with 4-6 tabs and scrolling at settings

Huge congratulations on taking the step to freedom and thinking for yourself! I know it can be scary when you're used to Apple deciding everything for you and all of a sudden you can choose for yourself, but that's a part of growing up.
I'm certain you won't regret it!

Hehe, don´t be too scared mate This is the point: It may happen that the kernel is messing with your device when you start to move big files OR when wiping...just search for posts from Entropy512 (who seems to be the most eloquent guy when it comes to this topic ) or matius44 (who summed up Entropy512´s posts quite often as well).
If you take a closer look to the stunner & imilka threads (etc), it is obvious that there are MANY ICS (repack) user who are NOT suffering of any kind of emmc damage (yet?). So the probability seems quite low to brick your device. But there is a propability, there have been a bunch of people e.g. last week, who had to handle the fact that there device is dead.
So in my case: I didn´t want to take the risk to mess up my 600$ device, for this reason I switched back a few days ago.
It is everyones own choice - this is a developer forum and it will always be connected with risks to flash ROMs For me, the risk seems to be higher with the repack stuff, so I will wait.
EDIT & OT: yeey, 400 posts counting^^

Nope! It wont brick suddenly when your not doing any flashing. It will only brick if you flash it wrong or as they said not proper flashing. Just follow each guide in flashing from the thread starter and there wont be any problem.

Yup. Flashing from the repack (more specifically, doing any form of a wipe from a repack - and flashing this wipes /system first) may only hardbrick a small percentage of users - 1%? 3%? 10%? - We don't know.
What we do know is:
1) Some users can flash all they want without hardbricking - but you don't know if you're in this category until you've found out the hard way that you're not
2) Some users can flash/wipe a few times but eventually will hardbrick. Just because you flashed once without bricking doesn't mean flash #2 isn't going to kill you
3) Some users, like xplodwild, will just hardbrick the first time they attempt to wipe or flash anything from a leak repack recovery
I'm going to talk to the moderators about giving infractions to anyone else who says they flashed safely from an existing repack - because that misleads other users into thinking they're safe too which is NOT TRUE. See items 1 and 2 above.

A lot of people will tell you how they flashed fine etc etc but you never know if that next system wipe will go through..
So you have to ask yourself "Do I feel lucky?"

Is it still worth buying?

I recently got a galaxy y but already I am thinking about changing it mostly because coming from sets like desire and bb9900 the display is horrible.I was wondering if the galaxy s is still worth buying new for around 250 usd
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk 2

if youre looking for something fairly cheap but also good then i'd buy one, but just not that price you mentioned you can definitely find it for cheaper.
lots of support for the phone here on xda, lots of choices for roms and kernels that make the phone much better, if you can find it for cheaper (i got mine for 200)

I bought mine for 130 canadian with a cracked back panel and a small scratch on the screen. Otherwise perfect. I got it a month or two ago and do not regret it one little bit. This thing is slick. Id say 175 would be a good price to buy one at.

I would say paying $250 isn't worth it. S2's go for around $200+.
Galaxy Nexus is $350 from the Play Store, brand new and still a top 5 smartphone. A huge advantage is you get updates direct from Google. For example Jelly Bean is being updated on these phones presently. Who knows how long before any phone you buy that comes from a manufacturer or cell provider will update.
I enjoy my galaxy s, as has been mentioned above, the custom ICS roms and kernels make it so.
I got mine used a few months ago for $100 Cdn or about $98 US.
My 2 cents worth.

Nice to see so many new users .

$100 on eBay for new galaxy s

Rather get sgs2 for that money

Really dunno if korean version is a different model, there should not be any problem if it's just a FW thing, in that case you can change it anytime with odin and you'll do it anyway since you're probably going to flash roms on it, just make sure the model is i9000.

I9000 is written on the box fingers crossed either galaxy s or nexus s or galaxy nexus

Check this out.
The I9000 was the fjrst of the galaxy s row.
They said ICS will not work on that device.
--> it works!!! And it's great!
Now Jelly Bean was allready portet for our galaxy s and it still works the new rom without any difficultys.
So you might have an older device but everything works great on it. And if u don't like the look of yiur software just flash another. There are enough!!
Another point to buy it: it s really handy and not so big like the new ones. (the only negative aspects are the low speed camera and "bad" gps. But everytime i used gps I reached my aim.)

By today's standards the Galaxy S is still a brilliant upper-mid tier device only really bested by the Nexus S and only other device near by is the Defy. Consider the fact that most devices in the £100-£150 range have ARM11's with Andreno 200's and you can get a 1GHz Hummingbird with a SGX540... Its a no brainer. So, yes the I9000 is still worth the money.

it would be right to say that samsung stopped the software support for SGS, but there are great developers on the internet who keep this legendary device up-to-date and they do it better than samsung employees.

Yeah, its still worth buying, actually i just got mine today. I hope it will serve me well, atm im on stock JW4 with semaphore kernel I just didnt know it heats a lot, but well ill get used to it...

Galaxy S makes a come-back!
Having upgraded to the GT-N7000, I thought that my GT-I9000 would become completely redundant. Not a bit of it! Rooting the SGS and installing RemICS-UX was the best thing I could do; my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. It has given my SGS - and myself - a new lease of life! I thought that the SGS would end up forgotten in a drawer, only to see the light of day if the GTN went down. But instead, the SGS has become a part of my life which I use on a daily basis in conjunction with the GTN. Battery life is good; performance is slick; there is a very modern look and feel to it; and - unlike my poor old GTN - the SGS has finally broken free from the accursed Kies. Others have mentioned the excellent work done by the devs on the various ROMs; and their hard work has led to a variety of ROMs which cater for a variety of tastes and needs. So if you can pick up a Galaxy S for a fair price, buy it, root it, install a custom ROM, and enjoy it. For those of a nervous disposition, there is lots of help to be found within the community - just be sure and say 'thanks'.

Dunno to what you compare, but I don't feel heat.

Well I had Samsung Galaxy 3, and it was cooler, on galaxy s temp is about 42 C with wifi on and downloading something from market for example, i spoke with few people, they said its ok, but i dont know. is it? Phone is working ok, without any lag or something, now on stand by its on 30*C..

As others have said, the phone is still worth having if you can find it for a fair price. I got mine on a 2 year contract just before the release of the S2, which would have been too expensive.
I got afraid that the phone would feel horribly slow and outdated before my contract was up (like my previous Nokia 5800xm). With ICS Rom working so great, I no longer fear for that, as I use my phone daily for browsing, and to remote control my computer, and the times I get annoyed with it, it is mostly because of bad connection in my area.
I normally don't think it gets too warm, except when using wifi-tethering with mediocre-bad 3g reception.

And after more than 3 years my Galaxy S is still the best!

I was in a store today and tried all kinds of the new smartphones out there. And I walked out giggling. Damn, after 3 years there is no phone out there, even with their quad core this super Gpu that, which i would take over my Galaxy s.
The S2 and S3 are impressive, but are big as hell, also quite expensive. The Nexus phones always impressed me, but they don't take external sd cards or swappable battery.
I never liked HTC phones either.
And with the latest CM10 and semaphore kernel my old Galaxy s still can compete with the latest products and still looks beautiful and even better than the new stuffs.
And don't get me started to compare it with Iphones.
Talking about durability, my little boy thrown my Galaxy S couple hundreds times on the floor, and it's still ain't broke yet. Meanwhile i saw tens of broken iphones. Funny that the people normally still walk around with a broken display, because they can't afford to buy another overpriced phone.
You can say I'm a Galaxy s fanboy, and after 3 years it didn't change. That's something isn't it?
Thank you all devs for making this phone such a fun thing to play with!
From Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, ICS and now Jelly Bean... it was a heck of ride.

same here, ive had my s1 for nearly 3 years, not used much for last year as i've had an s2 and now an s3 but the s1 gotta be better than both, kids been playing with it for last year but still in great condition and not too much difference from an s2 or an s3

Phone is legend indeed, but 3 years? LoL Don't think so mate. It was for sale as from June 2010, that makes it 2 years and 5 months max. You just added 7 months out if nothing? LoL
7 months in smartphone world is allot you know

I had mine since the first day it was released in the UK at Carphone Warehouse in August 2010. Coming off the G1 all it took was to see it switched on in the shop to indulge in a bit of impulse buying.
Upgraded to a Galaxy Note 5.3" six months ago and then only used the S to play with CM builds. Sold my Note a couple of weeks ago to get the cash for the Nexus 4 and been back to my trusted S and I cant believe how decent it feels for an everyday phone running CM10 nightlies.
As much as I liked the Note I just never got attached to it like I did with the S. :thumbup:

I couldn't agree more. I bought my Galaxy S second hand more than a year ago just to see what Android was like and I have been happy since. Off-course it needs some tweaking but mine is running very fast at the moment (Semaphore kernel + X-Bean 3.0 + script). I did try other Android phones from friends and in shops but their overall size is just too big and they seem very fragile. If my phone would fail I really don't know what phone currently on the market I'd go for. Quadcore sounds nice but the screens are just too big.

Thanks to the developers the phone is still alive...without them it wouldn't have been the same...I would have bought a new phone by now if it wasn't for them. :good:

Me too. I have this phone for 3 years and it is the best!!!

Anyone working on an AOSP rom?

I know its really early in the developement for this awesum tablet, but has anyone heard of any forthcoming AOSP roms for this guy?
I havent flashed any of the existing custom roms out there yet, waiting for a fully working TWRP first, but, once that happens, I know I will be flashing away, and I think an AOSP rom for this tab would run incrediblly fast and smooth...
thanks if any one knows of any WIP..

I don't think its early- look at the galaxy s4... Its just not a popular tablet yet. Its too expensive and will never see the following of the n7. Development is just flat out slow or non existent.
I could be wrong, but I don't have much hope for a fun rom-flashing experience on this tablet, its just a solid work horse and does great as-is for what it is.

I think we will see some ported ROMs, just not too much. I doubt we will see much AOSP, considering you lose some of the features of this tablet.

I think we will see some ported ROMs, just not too much. I doubt we will see much AOSP, considering you lose some of the features of this tablet.

I don't think its early- look at the galaxy s4... Its just not a popular tablet yet. Its too expensive and will never see the following of the n7. Development is just flat out slow or non existent.
I could be wrong, but I don't have much hope for a fun rom-flashing experience on this tablet, its just a solid work horse and does great as-is for what it is.

Since the p1000 this is the first device witch has the thinks I want
The last year's I had p1000 and now the n5100 for everything smartphone, tablet, everything.
There were a lot of people on the p1000 forum and android development.
I can't believe that only a few people are now here.
The p1000 was about 650 Euro and the n5100 500 Euro.so it's not really expensive.
Sorry for my bad English

Sadly,development for the Note seems to be almost dead

I had a N10 before and loved flashing roms on it, Paranoid was my favorite . Now with the Note 8 i find that im so happy with it and what it does that i dont miss not having a ROM to flash.
The only thing i use is Nova Luncher and i unlocked it of course to be able to do nice things like increase multi window capabilities and get more out of the SD card and speakers.
I olso had an Ipad 2 before. And i can say with confidence that this is the best and more practical table i have ever owned!

I know its really early in the developement for this awesum tablet, but has anyone heard of any forthcoming AOSP roms for this guy?
I havent flashed any of the existing custom roms out there yet, waiting for a fully working TWRP first, but, once that happens, I know I will be flashing away, and I think an AOSP rom for this tab would run incrediblly fast and smooth...
thanks if any one knows of any WIP..

What's up brotha!!?? I see birds of a fatrher flock together. I don't think we will see much AOSP based on this device,s stated loss of features via doing so.

Loving this tablet; when did you get yours?
We're just about to get a fully functional TWRP for this bad boy, and once that happens, I think things will pick up...
yeah, I guess you lose quite a bit on a tablet if you are running AOSP roms...hopefully, some more TW stuff gets ported over..

i like the HTC one, good solid feeling device, has 4.2.2 sense already, yeah they play the boot loader game but they got s-off the day i picked it up, so unlocked boot loader, root and super CID all in one shot, plus samsung s4 on AT&T has locked boot loader now too. i dont miss my note honestly, a bit smaller , but comfortable in my hand. so i dont miss it, plus having this makes up for it if i did!:laugh:
