Galaxy s2

I just got mine and was wondering is it worth rooting becausr stock is already fast and stable
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

It's always worth rooting.
Right now, the performance increase isn't the biggest reason, because this phone can handle anything we through at it with ease.
The root_only features, however, definitely are.
Backups, tethering, painless restores, themes, ad hoc wifi, and all the other goodies that custom Roms provide really make a big difference.

You really should check out the juggernaut rom and also faux123 kernal. I can't express how much faster the sg2 runs and no stuttering or lag. The phone also has much better battery life it's really amazing. Also no spying carrier iq, no bloatware etc. you can free wifi tether. You can over clock or under clock. My phone has never worked so good.
Definitely recommend the following:
Load cwm recovery
Install latest juggernaut rom 4.1
Install latest faux123 kernal
Not required but also install latest modem kl1
If you do then install swype beta keyboard
I use go launcher highly recommended.

DOOOOOOOOOO it!!!! You'll love your phone twice as much. There are some awesome themes and roms. You can make it even smoother than it is. Go to dev section after and try gingersnap with either kernel. Smooth as butter

Why install the modem? Also, I think you should try Launcher 7, made myself use it for a few days, and I love it.

That's a tough question mate. There really is no best. Its a matter of figuring out what you want and what roms do that the best. I recommend trying them all. Personally I'm a cyanogenmod fanboi and I try to run it on pretty much everything I own.
Sent from my Hercules with xda Premium.

main reason u should root and install a custom rom is BATTERY LIFE! lol u more than double your battery life, get all the bloat out of your phone, CIQ etc, plus you do get a performance increase, and its more stable than stock.. hands down best thing you could ever do to your phone.

Question about kernel flashing

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Which kernels are compatible with my current rom ? I am running team baked blackbean 5 kernel ATM. AT&T Samsung galaxy s 3. Looking for one with good battery and overclockability

Unfortunately I can only post once every 5 mins and I messed up when I posted thread
AT&T SGS 3 running Team baked black bean 5

Any kernel for aosp ROM. Unless your ROM is based off the leak job. But if I checked correctly baked is aosp. So you can flash kt747, faux123 kernel, cm10 kernel and the other one I don't remember.
You will have to try them to see which works better on your phone. Not all phones are the same.

Where would I go about finding a "sammy" kernel?

Original development, faux123 or ktoonsez's kt747 kernel

Thank you for posting a reply so fast. I'm really digging this site. I was on an iphone 4 jailbroken before I bought my gf a gs3. once I saw what it could do I got one right away. Now that I'm getting into this rooting thing it's starting to make a whole lot of sense, how it all comes together, everyone working together to figure things out.
Thanks again
Also, if I'm running ktoonsez's d2att jb 10.3.2012c am I already using kt747? Seems like I would be. I only asked about "sammy" kernel because ktoonsez posted about it working better.

"It comes with the stock d2att kernel, I found out earlier while we were getting things debugged that my Sammy one works too and gets better battery life the my AOSP one. Last night, I had it idle with everything on including gps, and lost NOT even 1 % "

New S3 user with some questions about ROMs out there

Hi all,
This is my first venture into Android and I must say, I these are incredible phones, and I am very excited for the future of mobiles again!
I've tested out a few ROMs so far, and while the ASOK and cyanogen mods are more my thing, the ROMS out for them are not (still buggy as a daily driver for me)
On the other hand the stock rom for this phone is awesome. All functions are working fine and I haven't had one hiccup yet.
Anyone know another ROM that is as stable and possibly in JB. If not on JB but a batter rom that I stock which is still on ICS?
Thanks for your help!

CM10 Monthly builds are also quite stable. I've been using it for 2 months now. Also if you like the look of TouchWiz and want to stay on it but remove the Samsung bloatware, you could use the debloater tool or use Titanium Backup to freeze system apps

I'll be getting my S3 tomorrow. Will going to a ROM ruin the special features that come with the phone, like the best photo option?

I am also new to the GS3 and so far ive gone through the Wanamlite rom, Triune ll, and currently on the Nexus Mod Triune ll. the Wanamlite rom was the best for battery consumption but i am loving the add ons and theming behind the triune roms. here are the links:

If you go with CM10, then you'll lose the stock camera app. I miss that app. The gyroscope features and floating video will be gone.
I haven't really tried the touchwiz based roms or AOKP.

I put on the second milestone CM10 from a week ago. Seemed had some microphone issues. Also on some apps couldn't do voice note feature which was a deal breaker for me.
Overall all features which work in regular build of android should work on my phone as well.

Good Kernels For Stock Rooted

I just bought the SIII on Thursday and have been in the EVO line for awhile now and don't really know what devs to keep an eye on... I am looking for a good Kernel that will allow me to clock, volt and if possible w/ sbc! Any and all suggestions are welcome as I will probably try them all... Also are there any stable ROMS that I should take a look at as well?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Freegs3 that's honestly all you need no need for underclocking or anything with the cpu the rom is fast stable I haven't been found a bug yet it has a ton of support ton of people willing to answer your questions and you will get 13+hours of battery with a few minor adjustments

Its the name of the ROM. Its by freeza. I consider freeza a dev to keep ur eye on.
As far as the kernel goes, if your on stock(or any touchwiz rom) your choices are limited but the best kernel for battery life is the stock kernel anyway.

Jamal717 - So, you like the Freegs3 ROM? I haven't tried it yet...I'm not a Sonic fan...I'm concerned Sonic pics would be themed within the ROM. (Are they?) Maybe I should give it a try, though. So far, I have flashed:
1. JellyBomb Domination, v7.0 (Decent)
2. JB Goodness, v4.0 (Fav so far)
3. Frankenstein KilLJoy, v1.0 (Current ROM...enjoying it)
I'm still new to rooting, so I am not even attempting the under/overclocking kernel piece yet.

So I get that Freegs3 is a good rom but what about for stock users?

I tried Freegs3 not bad although there still wasn't much on yhe the under/over clocking and voltage I really hope someone is working on a solid S3 Kernel besides me
SAMSUNG MOMENT CHECK
HTC HERO CHECK
HTC EVO CHECK
SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII PRICELESS

i'm on freegs3. i didn't want a themed rom full of tweaks and stuff that don't benefit me, that's why i went with his. it has auto update capability, and the few tweaks that are included you can choose to install or not during the install process. the only sega themed item is the boot animation, which you can change if you want very easily, he gives a list in the thread. check it out, it's definitely more stable than my stock rom was, it was crashing every 5 minutes. this is great.

What jellybean ROM are you using? Why?

I am using Cm10. I heard it was very stable but I do not know much more about the different ROMs. I'm a neeewbie!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

The CM10 nightlies are usually a little buggy. And I heard bluetooth doesn't work too often. I usually switch between CM10 and AOKP roms. Using LiquidSmooth right now just to try something different.

You don't have to wipe data if its the same rom, but I use Titanium Backup when switching to different roms.

Rom: LiquidSmooth RC9
Kernel: KT747
so far so good.

What jelly bean rom are you using? And why?
I am using cm10 stable and love it and the reason why is that I'm a newbie it is the one pour stock android I can get on my Samsung galaxy s3. I think my next phone will be the google nexus 5 when ever that comes out or a new galaxy nexus.

I'm using the latest cm10 nightly and it has some glitches here and there but it's solid for most part.

I'm using Serenity. It's a port of JB from the Galaxy Note II.
Why this one and not something else? I wanted to keep the Touchwiz feel for a while longer and I've used Serenity ROMs in the past on a different device.

Using CM10. Bass over bluetooth doesn't work so I dropped back to an older build. Even the older ones still work fine. Running leankernel. Couldn't be happier with my phone!

You did install the kernel, you just didnt know it. The kernel gets installed with the ROM. But you can flash a different kernel at some other point if you want to. I generally find the stock kernels work well for me

I'm running BlackBean with LeanKernel all apps inverted along with inverted JB 4.2 keyboard. Why? I used BlackBean on my old Nexus S, inverted stuff saves a ton of battery life on our SAMOLED screens, the combo is overall damn smooth and the kernel also helps to save that battery life while maintaining buttery smoothness. Couldn't be happier.

LiquidSmooth RC9 with leankernel. Seems to be working pretty good so far. A couple of complaints here and there (had an issue with phone crashing every time I received a call, some minor annoyances with music playback) but for the most part it's very speedy and stable.
