[Q] Loading Custom Rom

[ScottsDesk]

I rooted my S2 GT-I9100 to hopefully get around and never have a possible BrickBug issue.

I have:

S2 GT-I9100

Android version 4.1.2

Rooted: Kernel version [email protected] #57

Build # JZ054K.I9100XWLSD

So now I have this done, and from what I am understanding, the brick bug will not effect me since I am past stock 4.0.4 recovery.

So now if I wish to load custom Rom, with (Using FREE ROM Manager v5.5.2.3) I installed while non rooted in android 4.1.2 or Using the one Siyah loaded when I rooted? (CWM Manager v3.15)which is the right one to go with to load a custom rom? I am assuming the one Siyah loaded with the "Stock Kernel", like these 2 roms CM, and Aokp. Looked and find no device listed for GT-I9100. on the sites that serve the packages. Enlighten me please.

Your right 4.0.4 is the only brick bug software. Dont use rom manager or any other app to flash a custom rom. Use cwm recovery to do that.

OK, thanks! Now what Rom? I like CM, and aokp, but both dont seem to list my device.... How would I locate a rom that fits my device? I like the aspects of both roms mentioned because they allow customization, and they are well known.

No CM for S2 ? Impossible.Search.BTW,I recommend you a custom stock ROM.Best stabily and battery life,and good overall performance.BTW,if you want very big and good customization,go with Biftor ROM V12 and Biftor Aroma Mod V5.

If I go this direction do I need to go with the kernel you show loaded in your device?

It isn't neccesary,but you can install Apolo kernel for better performance and battery.

Before or after the loading of a new rom? Is it a rooted kernel?

Look, since you have a rooted device (GT I9100 right?), you can flash a rom through CWM. Choose some YOU like, because it's personal.
Afterwards you CAN choose to flash another kernel, but it's not a must. Choose one you like, again.
