Ok so looking at soo many recent posts about rooting, modems and latest OTA and a lot of confusion among new users, I have decided to start this thread where I will update the latest developments for our Galaxy SII (SPH-D710).
Latest OTA:- ICS FL24
Latest Leak:- JB GB27
"Optional" Official update:- JB GB27 (Only available via Kies)
AOSP Support:
CM10 - Beta
CM10.1 - Unofficial
Paranoid Android - Official
BAKED BlackBean - Unofficial
AoCP The Collective - Unofficial
PACman - Official
Evervolv - Official
ROMs:
-Flash a ROM from development forums and figure out which one you like.
-If you are smart enough, you will easily be able to figure out by scanning through first 2-3 pages in development forums that which ROMs are popular and updated.
-Don't ask for best/perfect/bugless/battery lasts a week ROMs. Every user is different and everyone uses their phone in his/her own way. For example some may watch videos all day and some may text all day. So your usage varies and your definition of a perfect rom varies.
-Don't be like.. "I am a noob and am scared to flash many different ROMs." or "I don't have time to try different ROMs."
-To people like you, ever wonder if the developers here would be like I don't have time for making a thread for my ROM and provide support for it but I am going to use it personally and never share it? Devs like to develop ROMs and they like to share their work. Respect it and don't complain and moan.
Root:
-Exynos abuse to gain root was possible using an app but it was patched in the FL24 OTA so you cannot use the app to root anymore
-Root using the full odin one click .exe files. You need a PC for that. Don't have a computer? Sorry, find one.
-If you updated to JellyBean GB27 using kies and lost root, follow this to get it back - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34297546
Kernel:
-You don't need a custom kernel just because you are rooted. Stop complicating things. If you think this is all confusing. It is not. So re-read everything again. Repeat again if still confused. Trust me, if you read this stuff 2-3 times, it will all make sense.
-Don't use the SXTP FL24 kernel, it has caused random reboots for quite a few. So don't complain if you flashed that.
-If you want a custom recovery to make a backup, use the kuban custom kernel or Agat's kernel which comes with its own recovery to do so. Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826190 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
-If you want to flash a new ROM, follow the steps in post 2 here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953783
-Have questions? Did you follow the steps and read everything twice?
Modems:
-If you are one of those who tries every new JellyBean leak or touchwiz JellyBean custom roms, you should know that for data to work on these ROMs, you can only use a JB modem.
-So when you flash to ANY other ROM, let it be AOSP based JB ROMs, ICS ROMs or GB ROMs, make sure you flash a non JB modem.
JellyBean Leaks:
-Yes you can try them. The newer leaks are stable. They are awesome. Don't complain about issues with them. They are just leaks. ROMs based on them are also based on leaks.
-We do not have source for JellyBean from Samsung. Expect some issues due to that, especially slow data on AOSP JB ROMs.
-Yes we are all waiting for Samsung and Sprint to update our phones to JellyBean. Don't ask when. No one knows.
Tools and Files:
-Everything you need is on www.rwilco12.com
-Also individual threads are in development forums.
-Stock Roms - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
-Kernels - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295
-Modems - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210
- Hope this clears up things for some and helps out.
- I don't mind general discussion in the thread.
Attention all new XDA members and E4GT owners. First off, welcome to the community. Here are some great links to start with.
Getting started on XDA
Forum rules
You are a noob on XDA
Here at XDA Developers, we welcome users from all walks of life. We were all new at some point and we understand that you may be overwhelmed by the vast amount of information available.
I cannot stress this enough. READ READ READ! If you are still unsure about something, read the original post and the first few pages of whatever ROM/MOD/Tweak that you are interested in trying on your device. Your question may already be answered in those first few pages. Don't feel like anyone is attacking/flaming you for asking a question, usually in that scenario we have already answered that question many times and it is available for everyone to read.
Google is your best friend. Search for whatever you may be looking for with keywords relating to the topic you are looking for. Excuses like "I don't have time to search for that" will not be tolerated and your question may be ignored. We might just give you a link to lmgtfy.
Forum categories and what they are meant for. The names say it all. There are also important threads known as stickies in each sub forum. I highly recommend reading these, they are full of great information.
General
The general sub-forum is meant to be used to discuss general topics. Such as news relating to the forum you are viewing, upcoming ROMs, and off-topic banter such as McLeary's Pub
Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
This is where you can search for questions that have already been asked and solved. If you encounter a ROM specific issue, this may not be the best place to ask your question. If you are having trouble with an app or a program such as Odin or ADB, this would be a great place to ask your question.
Android Development
This is where you will find ROMs, mostly Touchwiz and a few modified AOSP ROMs. There are also tweaks for Touchwiz based ROMs that should be posted here. Do not create a new thread to ask a question here.
Original Development
This is where you will find mostly AOSP ROMs which are built from the source and are uploaded after they have finished compiling. The only exceptions here are original development such as tools which make development easier or tutorials for developing kernels, Calkulins EL29 since this was the original custom ROM for the E4GT. I think it should be in Android Development but I have no say in whether or not it should be moved.
Themes & Apps
This is where you will find discussion about various themes and modifications for your custom ROM. You can also find tutorials for various mods that change the appearance and functionality. If you find a nice app and would like to share your find with the community you may create a new thread here. App discussion is okay.
I'll update this periodically. I'm done for now. Hope you have a better experience after reading this. Good luck and enjoy the awesomeness we call XDA.
If you have any questions or need help with something, feel free to PM me. I will do the best that I can to help you. I am almost always online or checking in frequently.
Be careful... graydiggy is always ready to layeth the smacketh down on some noobs.

It was an exploit in the kernel, it should be called Exynos abuse. It was a root exploit in the kernel that could be manipulated thru a simple command with no user knowledge or input, hence why it was patched. Rogue apps could surreptitiously gain root access without the users knowledge. It was also used for an app based root exploit on devices with the exynos 4 based SoC.

Exynos Abuse by Chainfire. The exploit was brought to Samsung's attention and it was patched. They released a 2nd maintenance release for ICS which patched the exploit in FL24. Our developers here on XDA also patched the kernels, it was actually before Samsung did. Now all current and future builds are patched against the exploit.

Seriously I sleep like 4 or 5 hours a day and first thing I do I check xda while I'm doing my morning smoke 5 ciggs and take my constitutional, then I check every 5 to 15 minutes throughout the day sometimes I just keep hopping devices for a few hours straight. I'm like a junkie and xda is my heroin lmao. I wanna get some of those augmented reality glasses so I can practically mainline Tapatalk thru my eyeballs lol
Really I love reading stuff I'm interested in and im a research junkie so I'm constantly checked for new info to infuse into my brain. I'm always trying to learn more tricks to attempt things others tried but failed. I've got a new rom type I'm working on for twiz devices called AOSC which is android open source clone where im cloning twiz to look and function like aosp but retaining all stock twiz features. I've currently cloned vanilla rootbox 95%, I've got everything done but 4.2 noti toggles and hybrid UI/twiz launcher, 3rd party launchers I can force tablet mode, but im having issues with resizing on sysui and the twiz launcher. I'm gonna release a semi beta for the note 2 as soon as I update to the latest OTA. The features shouldn't be too hard to port to other twiz roms and my work will be open for anyone to port to their sammy device. I love aosp but I miss the functions and stability of stock firmware so I'm cloning aosp into twiz by making or cannibilizing the features to clone into twiz.

A custom rom is custom for a reason. Any user can change things about a rom if they know how.
What I have running on my phone may not be your beer of choice. Experiment make nandroid's. If you get one you really like stick with it.
Like one person said this exact thing has been asked and answered multiple times. A simple search and a little reading would have given you the answers your looking for.

No ****. When I say "custom ROM" I'm talking like generic CM10 or Blazer ROM etc. I'm not asking for a damn explanation of what the word custom meant. If I was, then I would do a quick search and see for myself. If youuuu did some simple reading, you would have read my last comment which was about how dumb ass people gave smart ass responses that simply arent needed. So let me simply this for you...either answer the question at hand or just don't comment at all. That simple. If there's other threads out there I have probably already looked at them and decided to ask the question myself. No big deal. Get over yourself.

Would you test drive billions of cars until you found the one for you? The whole point of the question is to narrow down the search. Or, for your convenience, find the best ROMs to "test drive". I doubt youd test drive a car without matching what you want in a car to what the car offers. If you want a truck, you're not going to text drive a Civic. I've seen my options. I've read the threads. Stop crying about how I made another thread and figure out a way to get this thread deleted of you're so opposed to duplicate questions being asked. I'm sure you've never asked the same question twice ...not once.

Are you looking for a rom thats themed or you just looking for something with the stock look?
I have backups of Blazer, Freegs3, Paranoid Android, Odex Blue, Jelly Bomb, and Wicked Sensations. Honestly, I really like all of them! They all, for me, have had similar battery life, and are all very stable. Paranoid is pretty fun to play with, and has a completely different feel than the others. Right now, I'm really loving team venum's work.
Seems no matter what I flash though, I always end up back on Wicked Sensations. Something about it just keeps calling me back...Lol Good look, feel, battery, stable, nice add ons, and everything just works flawlessly for me. The pull down toggles are nice too. Just put the alpha 7 Trinity kernel on it last night and its running great!
Been thinking of checking out aokp lately, cause I used to use it a lot on my og epic, but, I like a lot of the new touch wiz features.
Like they say, try them ALL for a day or two. You won't be disappointed. Eventually you will probably find yourself going back to a certain one, and then you'll know which is best for YOU. Enjoy!

I recommend, with experience, free gs3 0.1.1 without the jelly bomb theme, or jelly bomb domination v 5.0, or team venum wicked sensations 1.1. All are great. Jelly bomb domination is a team venum wicked sensation base with an incredible jelly bomb theme. You will be happy with any of the 3. Big shout out to Clark44, Josh Beach, team sonic, and team venum for bringing 3 amazing roms to our device. Also, thank Nanddict for his theme work on the roms.

That's because devs like jovy, Rushing and pmt3r pump out the same ROM with 17 thousand different themes. Then we have 5 other guys compiling the same damn cm10 or aokp ROM from source.. In reality we have a small amount of ROMs that are actually built from the ground up. Then our guys take that base and do what they want to it. They have skyICS which to them is their go to touchwiz ROM (and honestly skyICS is better than all of our TW roms combined.) just like Darkside Evolution was ours. Then we have thelastsidekick making another thousand roms instead of just working on one and making it the best it can be. IMO our dev section is cluttered with a bunch of unneeded crap. I'd rather have a few more devs that know enough to cook some kernels instead of devs that just copy and paste what they want to an already existing base.

I bought this phone in March ,the best ROM at the time was Juggernaut and Darkside digital warfare. I say things have VASTLY improved. I appreciate anybody that puts in work and hooks it up for free. It would be nice to have more top notch devs on our forum.
Either way they're all interchangeable, basically could all be in one forum

That's because devs like jovy, Rushing and pmt3r pump out the same ROM with 17 thousand different themes. Then we have 5 other guys compiling the same damn cm10 or aokp ROM from source.. In reality we have a small amount of ROMs that are actually built from the ground up. Then our guys take that base and do what they want to it. They have skyICS which to them is their go to touchwiz ROM (and honestly skyICS is better than all of our TW roms combined.) just like Darkside Evolution was ours. Then we have thelastsidekick making another thousand roms instead of just working on one and making it the best it can be. IMO our dev section is cluttered with a bunch of unneeded crap. I'd rather have a few more devs that know enough to cook some kernels instead of devs that just copy and paste what they want to an already existing base.

I love how you're quick to place blame in everyone else but what have you attempted? If its such a huge problem and there's a lack of development work going on, why don't you go ahead and create your own ROM from the ground up or better yet, create us a custom kernel. Until you can do either of these things, where do you even stand? This is not an insult or because I even take offense to it. I say this because people like jovy actually put time into their ROMs.

I'm just holding out for the new Nexus so I can move on out to a different phone. The Dev forum is a mess here. There's even ROM threads without ROMs in them. It's like a DMZ free for all.

Don't get offended. It's the truth. Go look at the dev section. Its a mess. Half of you guys don't even post your githubs, sources, or code. So.. you're basically taking bases and kanging them to death. Making the same ROM 10 times . Which I have no problem with. Its open source that's the point. But.. Keep it organized! Work on one project at a time and atleast finish it. You have dumped at least 2 ROMs yourself to start on others. This leaves the dev section a huge mess and easier for newcomers to flash something they shouldn't and risk a brick. Look at the general section. Brick threads galore. And honestly I don't need to contribute by making a ROM or anything of that sort. I contribute by donating like any good flasher should and trying to help others with issues I've had myself. If the garbage was thrown out and the dev section cleaned up we would have less than 7 active threads. Rushing making a new thread for an already made ROM just because it has a different theme? Insanity.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. Aren't Cyanogenmod and TW just customized ports from the originals as well? The only roms built from the ground up are the ones that come from Google, samsung, etc. Not being a **** just clarifying not sure if im right

Yes and no. Cyanogenmod is built from the ground up using their own source code that sticks closely to the AOSP source code. As far as Touchwiz goes, it's built from the ground up by Samsung. It's the reason why Wi-Fi calling isn't available on AOSP or AOKP.
Now as far kernels, Samsung has released 4.0.4 source but the only devs I know that have built their own kernel FROM THE GROUND UP are Eugene373s streamline and TDJ venom kernels. As far as other kernels, they all include mods and changes that they have made to the original Samsung kernel. In other words, modding instead of building from scratch.
Like I said, I don't have an issue with this. If I had the time to learn how to dev and cook up my own idea on what a ROM should look like and perform I totally would. But some of us lead different lives and some things just aren't possible. That's why I donate. I feel like a scumbag using something someone made for free that's better than what I actually paid for. But that's just me.
All I'm saying is.. dev section is a mess. Lol mods, let's clean it up and get rid of discontinued ROMs. As a dev if you have different theme ideas and want to post them for your ROM? Put it in its rightful forum. There's a reason the THEMES and apps forum exists. If we already have a certain official ROM unofficially compiled from source, let's agree on one thread instead of having 5 people compile the same ROM. Don't make 10 threads with the same rom and a different theme.
Voiddweller was right. It's a bit out of control. We got too many brick threads and too many people cluttering up threads with questions that have pre-existing answers obtained with a simple search.
Just sayen' fellas. I still visit the NS4G forums, I gave it to my gf and got this. I love that forum. This one? Not so much. When we get devs leaving (TDJ wasn't the first) that says something. You guys wanna see 4.2 on this phone? Fix the forum.

I completely agree.
I'd like to introduce my first published ROM to the community.
-What is Infinity about?
The purpose of this ROM is for those who don't care much about dealing with bugs and waiting for updates or tweaks to get a daily driver. My project is to keep this as stock as possible because I believe that the touchwiz features are awesome. I'd like to keep the mods to a minimum to maintain functionality and keep the ROM as bug free as possible. Infinity fits perfectly as the name of this ROM as it allows YOU, the user, to make infinite choices to how you want your phone to feel and act like. While I am the chef, I feel its your resposibility to chose the themes and mods ypud like to add as you see fit.
- who this ROM is not for?
This ROM is not for those who are here to flame others or rudely criticize my work. While I accept suggestions and constructive criticism , I will not allow rudeness. Please feel free to post questions or concerns here as I may not ever get to my PMs. Enjoy.
Download instructions:
*download to SD
*backup ROM
*flash in recovery using favorite recovery method
If coming from another ROM I'd recommend wiping data . If coming from stock id still recommend wiping data but your willing to try and dirty flash.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for the sudden death of your phone if you flash this wrong or flash mods not compatible with this.

Will flash tonight! As long as you are working towards including AOSP lockscreen, contacts, and messenger, I will stick with you the whole way. As far as the power mods, can you include screenshot? I know you can hold power and home, its just easier if its in the power menu.
Running very fast and smooth so far. Did you take out the calendar widget? The app for it is there but no widget.
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback so far. Uh. I probably took the calendar widget out on accident. I will work on it tonight. Still at work. For now. You can push the calendar widget apk into system settings. Screenshot in power menu should be next then I assume. hopefully I get some time tonight if the wife does the come a call in'. I'll get some screenies also. I'd also recommend using faux stock kernel in the other thread for a boost. Been reading some good things about his mainline edition.

Speaking of widgets. Are there any others from stock that you guys prefer to have back. I took out some of the bloat ones to free up some space. I did also remove a few live wallpapers since I don't personally use them.

I have always envied team kang and their stock build since it includes lock screen options. I may have to call upon them and see if they'll assist me in my pursuit of aosp options. Ive youve ever used the sgs2 and the Juggernaut ROM you'd know how awesome the ROM control option was.

There's so much to say but trying to be respectful at the same time. Grrrrrrr. Do you really know what you're doing, or do you only understand the basics and know how to make a flashable zip rom? I'm being serious and not trying to be a ****... its just it seems like a.... pointless thread/rom... as of now. Of course when it can be a AOSP/TW ROM that's awesome, but now???!!! Just seems not very important. Again not trying to be a jerk, just speaking my mind.
You saying "uh. I probably took the calendar widget out on accident" makes me want to not flash the ROM, I understand trial and error but, that should be done before publicizing your work. I'm an A-Hole and this and that so be it, criticism sucks.

No I understand where you're coming from. My haste to get this out there superceeded my common sense. Also my poor word choice also can be a fault in people not wanting to try this. I am not completely new at this. Although I am not alone in creating a ROM using the kitchen. That is the difference between "original" android development in this forum and "android development". A few ROMs I've seen in this section were probably made using the kitchen ad out does the basic for you. The rest is actually knowing Smali and baksmali, compiling and dwcompiling of XML files and such. That isy weakness as I have to search countless forums and guides to find out how to do it in my own. Everyone started somewhere. As much as I want to pull this ROM now I feel I should be more careful in what I say and how I add mods and test them. I know nowadays people seek the ROMs that are "flashy" and have tons of features but it comes at a price. I am not just building for people but foe fun and foe myself. I do run my roms and therefore don't want to brick my own device. I appreciate the criticism as you are probably saying what others don't. Its all part of the learning process. On the other hand, there are plenty of awesome ROMs to choose from.

Thanks man. The journey will be long and difficult. Again I appreciate everyone's patience. I have some time tonight to mess around with some code. I believe I have the power menu figured out. And I wanted to ask. Do you guys prefer lidroid toggles which are customizable or something else. I preferably like the stock ones but something customizable could be added as a zip instead of a default. That is why I'd like to really dig into aroma which would allow maximum user customization but its gonna take more than one night of studying the tutorial and testing. I'll add back the calendar and hopefully have advanced power menu up. No eta yet.

I believe options in aroma would be the way to go. I personally would like the 15 toggle mod built in. I totally understand that you are learning as you go, i am just thankful to have someone working on this. After you put the calendar back in (lol) and add the basic power mods and such, i would be cool with you adding AOSP features one at a time. That would also help with testing.

First, its not his epic fail... no one knows why it does it. Also, try anti-venom script. Worked for me. Also, please keep in mind, these guys do all this for free in their spare time... don't talk crap about them for something such as this. You kinda need to know why it does it before you can fix it.

Seems standard one would test to see if other roms could be flashed after the fact. That would seem a normal behavior of anyone who flashes roms. Wasn't insulting the guy personally, just his rom for screwing up half the boards phones. Lol. Also I think that script requires a pay app or something for flashing. Cwm doesn't work does it? Or did that change?

I would also add that viper was beta tested for literally months before it was released. No genius tried flashing cm10 somewhere in there? Maybe the author didn't fail I don't know. Either that or the entire beta process is fail. Flashing other roms seems awfully basic. Just thought I'd add that to my last comment though. Again not insulting any dev personally. Just the rom. Months of beta testing to release a rom that screws up your phone is hard to describe in any way other than fail.

Actually, the script is something you flash in any recovery. Its rather simple. Also, I'd challenge you on whether its basic to test that as most of the people who were on the testing team weren't exactly worried about flashing other ROMs after viper... myself included. Whether you're insulting any person or not, you're still calling someone's work (something that shouldn't even be able to work on this phone no less) garbage is rather insulting no matter if you meant it as such or not. Also, check this: the ROM hasn't screwed up anyone's phone, and last I checked there's a disclaimer that says flash at your own risk. I was a beta tester and I'll have you know its one of the best testing groups I've been a part of and everything was covered. Absolutely none of the testing team encountered any issues that weren't soon fixed after. Any and all issues found through testing were eradicated. Only so much can be tested, however, and every device is different. In testing we encountered no problems whatsoever, and the fact that you would make statements such as this is appalling. Also keep in mind cm10 is currently running on a hacked up gingerbread kernel, also something that shouldn't technically work. I'm also typing this now from PACman which is part cm10 and not getting any hiccups. If you wish to continue this discussion, feel free to pm me and I'll even show you in detail the steps taken to get it all off the ground, but please do not reply here further cluttering the thread.
Also, in case you were wondering, if cwm doesn't work for flashing the script, you can always get the free version of the 4ext recovery app from 4ext.net…

Not a problem. Thanks for the info. I didn't even intend to talk about any of that at length. I think you went on about it more than I. Lol. I simply repeat it was tested for months to release a rom that messed your phone up so bad you couldn't install cm10. Seems a big oversight. I know all roms have disclaimers. Doesn't mean where one fails a failure can't be pointed out anyways. That's all I've done. Thanks for the info tho. I actually asked about it in the script thread and never heard anything definitive or the issue really discussed. I'm a simple user. Just do all flashing through cwm. Sorry this thread got off track. Didn't need to be highjacked like this. Agree. Sweet icons. Always fun to change them up!

I never make posts like this. This is usually nitsua or jizzy lately (haha).
I don't like you. From all the things I can gather about you through your posts, you are ignorant and ungrateful. I hate so much the things you've chosen to be. If you want something stable, don't root your phone. Nitsuj17, the "author" of Viper, has released quite a few ROMs for this phone despite moving on to greener pastures. He and the various devs including aeroevan, chillybean, CondemnedSoul, khamsakamal, and others I might be missing have given us ICS and even JB, which is more than we can ask of them for free and more than we've seen from HTC.
Have I encountered lag on ICS/JB ROMs? Yes. Does it suck, yeah. But that's part of the game when you root your phone sometimes. All of our latest ROMs are using a kernel that's too old because newer source isn't available due to being left out to dry by HTC. Be happy you get to even see 4.0+ at this point. Have some respect please, and maybe you'll have ours someday.
Good day, sir.

you are a complete jackass......viper rom was tested for months, and part of testing isnt "can xyz rom work after using this rom", it was verifying the rom itself worked for the end user....the aosp install scripts dont wipe / format all partitions that viper does, so not everything was getting wiped properly for those trying to go cm9/10....someone else made a script to wipe between viper and cm9, so great
you have never contributed anything ot this community except to piss me off and make yourself look like a jerk, congrats...its people like you that make devs want to walk away and say make your own ****ing roms :good:

Agreed! Learn to flash a rom before splattering threads with bs! I had no problems flashing aosp roms, cm or anything else after viper!

DK, I have an idea for a theme for viper, but lack the experience. I tried for a little while but I really have no time. If you or anybody is interested, pm me.

Cool. Care to do a fix for not being able to install of cm10 after trying viper? Sadly the author of viper hasn't seen fit to do a fix for his epic fail. Haha. If not no worries. Icons are pretty!

I've only been in this thread for 2 minutes and already I can tell you are a complete worthless contribution to this community and the Android system all together. It is people like you who make the iPhone people actually have a point. You are everything that Android should not be, do us all a favor and just shut your mouth or go get an iPhone because clearly you don't deserve the benefits of Android. You do nothing for this community, and just run your mouth like you know what you are talking about, offending contributors that spend hours upon hours of their free time to do this. If you are too dumb to figure out how to flash from one ROM to the next that is not the developers fault, it is user error, and not just user error you come here and bash people because of your stupidity. It's people like you that make the real contributors not even want to publicly release their work. Go away, grow up, get a life, and get off mommy and daddys verizon plan, we don't want you here.

So if I were to get root with the GB08 one-click. Would it be possible to install CM10? If so, whats the easiest way? Would there be a ODIN flashable recovery where I can then finish up with installing a nightly? Or do I need to use one of the ancient repacks to get CM10?

I looked for them and couldn't find them. Can you point me to the one that is specefic for coming off a GB08 stock rooted?
There is nothing special. Just follow the instructions of the specific ROM.

It seems to me that you don't wanna read and I'm not gonna hand it to you. How hard is it to read the first post of the rom you wanna flash. That post will give you everything you need to flash. So go to what ever rom you wanna flash and read read read.

Obviously you have not looked into the CM10 rom. I have been around long enough to know how to look for things and read. There is nothing on GB10 and CM10. You are out of your league here. Thanks anyway, but you may now move on. If you want to prove me wrong, show me the thread. It is easier than arguing.

Well considering that there is no GB10. It seems you are out of luck. There is a GB08, but if you take the time to read, you will know that JB modems and kernels will not work with CM10. Everything you have asked is throughout the E4GT section. If the instructions don't mention what you are looking for or you don't see any mention in the thread of it, it is either up to you to test it or it probably won't work. So as long as you follow exactly what is in the instructions, you will be fine.
Now, telling someone that they are out of their league and that they can move on is immature and not your place, especially when I know for a fact that Sasquatch is a very respected member here. Everyone here is offering the minimal help for obvious answers. If you don't feel the need to take the time to read and research stuff on your own using the search function, Google, or even YouTube, we won't feel the need to help you.

I doubt that you will find any. How much time and space would it take to list installation instructions coming from every individual rom listed in the forum? The instructions are the same regardless of which rom you are currently using.

That's right don't be messin with the Sqash and why would you want to mess up such a great build like gb08 with cm10?
This would not be possible until source is realised by Sammy, and that is obvious because there is no onboard working recovery yet. If you get around to research the thread you will notice a bunch of posts concerning cm10 and it's ability to bork stuff on your phone.

Out of my league don't think so. And gb08 and cm10 are two different things and will never be able to run at the same time. So it's best for you to figure out what you want either tw or cm10. Me along with other members run either of the 2 rooms with no problems. So yeah choose one and install. As for you saying I'm out of my league I don't think I am. Look I'm a 13 yr old android enthusiast who might know a whole lot more than you so with that being said I'm done. :thumbup:

Now I REALLY know you don't know what you are talking about. You are correct that they are 2 different things... but "run at the same time?" Clearly you dont understand that GB08 is the firmware version and CM10 is an OS load that stacks over whatever the developers support it to load to. And to try and say that CM10 will "never" run on GB08 is complete ignorance.

You can't run them at the same time. If you run cm10 can you use jellybean kernel or modem no you can't. Tw and cm10 are totally different ui. In other works your trying to lecture me when it's obvious your the one asking for help. Come on man try a little harder.
EDIT: And you come on here and ask if gb08 can run on top of cm10. You need to do a little more reading. You can't run cm10 at the same time with gb08. If I'm wrong can someone please correct me.

Just because the evidence presently suggests that CM10 cannot run on GB08, does not mean it will never be possible. You are trying to compare CM10 to GB08 to TW. TW has nothing to do with ANY of thouse. TW is a LAUNCHER. GB08 is a firmware version that can run any JB compatible launcher. CM10 is designed FOR and IS JellyBean. Presently it is having to be hack loaded but that doesn't mean that someone some day won't figure out how to make it run on top of the GB08 firmware. And just so that you know... I am presently using GB08 stock rooted. TW is the stock launcher; but I have loaded ADW over the top. ADW is used inside CM10. CM10 is not a launcher... it is the platform in which AOSP is run on an android device.
You are right.

"Never" was never said for one.
As was explained earlier, due to there fact that source had not been released yet, there is no gb08 support, 4.1 android support yes, but nothing for this specific build.
Also to blatantly disregard the instructions to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS in the correct thread of the ROM you wish to install is ignorance at its finest.
Then to attack the people who kindly offered you the information you seek, is not only ignorant but also small minded and weak.
And for further instruction on the matter, this question would have been better asked in the cm10 thread rather than increasing your post count and causing other members to feel the need to defend themselves.
My suggestion, READ (there's that pesky word again...) the form rules on posting in the proper places, creating threads, and harassing members. Then when finished with that (are you ready for this?) READ the op in question in the thread of the ROM you wish to flash.
