Native linux for Samsung GT-i9105 Galaxy S II Plus

After all this u will loose your external sdcard data

We need:
I. SDcard with at least 4 GB
II. Samsung GT-i9105 Galaxy S II Plus

1. Download and put to the root of your internal sdcard ubuntu-i9105_by-sssemil.tar.gz (910,96 Mb)

2. Now type in terminal emulator:
Code:
su
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
mount -o rw -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /root
cd /root
tar -xzvf /storage/sdcard0/ubuntu-i9105_by-sssemil.tar.gz
Wait....

3. Now type:
Code:
sync
cat /root/deb_ext2_swa_k1p1.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
sync
4. Done! Now to reboot to ubuntu type:
Code:
su -c reboot recovery
And to reboot to android just reboot ubuntu.

If ubuntu is not booting just remove sdcard and boot without it!
Working:
Wi-Fi
Partly sound
Touchscreen
etc.
Not working:
Camera
Ril stuff
...

the diffrence between original rom and costum rom ?
You can use google for that....but ok i'll give you some examples with galaxy s2+:
More Free RAM than the stock roms which are using TouchWiz
Faster and smoother than the stock.You can easily find the differences if you try custom rom
Higher benchmark score
They are pre-rooted
And custom roms gives you the possibility to have the latest Android version if your phone doesn't have official one which is the best reason to have custom rom
Custom roms can be customized a lot and easy+they have a lot of features which stocks doesn't have
Some of the customs are better for gaming(if you are using your phone for gaming)
Some custom roms have the possibility to control the minimum and maximum CPU frequency(overcloack) but in others you will need a custom kernel.
I think that these are the main reasons to try a custom rom or custom kernel(optional) :)
The choise is yours :)
