[WELCOME TO YOUR GALAXY S2 PORTAL]
GREETINGS ALL FELLOW GALAXY S2 OWNERS!
I used to own a vibrant and that development section had a "bible / directory" thread, and i noticed our lovely little device didn't have one, and always wanted to contribute back! I hope this helps, I'll do my best to keep it up to date as new roms, kernels, etc come out. You might see this post half-finished because it's just literally going to take a bit to finish making sure all of the information is added and accurate.
If you find that I've put the wrong rom in the wrong version number, please pm me and I'll fix it as soon as I can. If you find that something here is inaccurate as well please pm me!
It's also going to take me quite a chunk of my time to do this, so if I've saved you some consider donating me coffee money while I write this out :)

This needs to be stickied.
Very nice. Anyone know where this SkyRocket kernel is that I keep hearing about? It is supposedly compatible with cm7 roms. I did not see it under kernels so that is why I ask.

Right there^ It works, but your rotation will be off by 90 degrees so you'll have to turn auto rotate off.

Btw great thread only thing i would add is to separate the Touchwiz kernels from the AOSP kernels (even though there's only like one lol)

Thanks for the suggestion, and I agree! I'll do that now. If I'm wrong on any of their compatibility give me a holler
FYI, it's AOSP not ASOP.
Great work.
Might want to include the Skyrocket forum ROMs as well, since as I understand it, they're fully compatible. If you do so, could also include a little blurb about how they're compatible.
Only other thing I might think should be included is rooting information. I recall that we can root using Zerg Rush in addition to flashing a pre-rooted ROM via ODIN, and that isn't documented in the thread in General.
I believe this kernel is not compatible with AOSP.
Hercules[2.6.35.14](v0.0.7)OC~1.73GHz/GPU OC/OTG/UV/SLQB/Power Saving[Jan-08]
It is for Samsung based roms only.
Maybe add the skyrocket kernel to the list of AOSP compatible kernels so we can have more than one to choose from for AOSP? Might as well.
Great work I did one of these for the G1 called the Rom Bible they are so helpful. Great work and thanks.
You should make a spot for helpful guides like how to root and my guide to set up your Linux box to build cm7.and others.

Awsome work glad someone stepped up to the plate and did this. Hope it stays updated and maintained. It would be cool if devs would pm you to let you know about new releases.

AOSP *Fixed lol... I always say "ay-sop" in real life
I plan on adding a guides section as well, and also a mods section. Once that's done I was going to clean it up a little more and make it even more organized. Definitely gonna hook it up. So far with writing it out on paper on how I want the thread to be, double checking dates etc. It's taken me over like 10 hours of work split over two days. Hoping when it's nice and polished everyone will like!
It would be cool to have the radios also. Odin and flashables.

That is a nice rom!
I would also add the dev of the ROM to give them credit/recognition.

Good work! We need this stickied
AOKP has become my new favorite custom ROM to flash. i have it on my Nexus 7, and when i used to own the ASUS TF101 and Galaxy Nexus, both had it as well.
i'm looking into flashing AOKP to my Galaxy S3 now, but i'm a little confused what's the difference between these:
[ROM] AOKP(Jellybean)Task & Ktoonsez (10/5) (AT&T/Rogers)
[KERNEL][AT&T][AOSP/Touchwiz][JELLYBEAN & ICS][10/3/2012] KT747 - LG8 - KTweaker (i thought custom ROMs already come with a custom kernal?)
How to flash AOKP custom ROM on the AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747
[ROM][JB] Unofficial AOKP D2ATT (obviously unofficial, but is there a difference?)
and AOKP JB Build 4
in the past, i've just looked for my device on the official AOKP website, but the d2att device isn't available on any of the 4 JB builds.
so yea, any advice on which one is the most current and stable version i should use? or should i wait for it to possibly be added to build 5?
and an unrelated question... is it possible to change the default location/folder when performing a nandroid backup? i would like it to get saved to my micro SD card instead.
I've been using task and ktoonzes aokp since, well since it was ICS lol. I can't really compare it to any other ROM as I haven't seen a need to flash anything else. Ktoonzes kernel adds more functionality over the "stock" kernel that comes with it including over clock and under volt not to mention his own app to control the kernel settings and a widget to keep an eye on it.
thank you for the information.
i just noticed that the [ROM][JB] Unofficial AOKP D2ATT thread has some thanks to task and Ktoonsez for contributions.
and the Android Authority article links to a Ktoonsez download link.
i guess i should just go to the source of all these and flash the [ROM] AOKP(Jellybean)Task & Ktoonsez (10/5) (AT&T/Rogers) one?
All you need is tasks rom
No brainer

You don't want this one. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34159-romjb-unofficial-aokp-d2att/ . Its some guy that has no clue what he's doing.
This is the most updated and it gets kept updated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
lol. thanks for the info task! :good:
Now that Kasp3rd is done, where do AOKP fans turn for updates?
If you need Wifi tether or bluetooth, aokp based rom is a no go for now.
Maybe you can try the new Dandroid rom. It looks like aokp but it's a tw rom which have almost no bug.

There are a few alternatives. Rootbox has Rom Control and is reported to be very Daily Driver for multiple users. It has a "Weekly" update that has a more "stable" propability, and there are nightlies as well. I personally use Tasks AOKP from the AT&T thread I flash it no problem with latest TWRP without having to alter any scripts, although some report needing to change some scripts to flash it. I do edit all build prop lines that show a 747/d2att being used. And Jameson in reg Development has a build he is experimenting with, not nightly and no real up to date stuff with it.

Damn. Rootbox looks sweet! Thanks. I'll give that one a shot.
Welcome, notice there is a Q&A that is linked in the OP use it before asking questions to make the Dev happy happy flashing dude.
I have seen a lot of people refer to this kernel: AK.801.Cylon kernel. Is this the same as the ak kernel thread, like v.99 or whatever the newest build is, or is this a separate kernel? If so, link? If I google it, this page pop up, is this the latest of this kernel type:
Search google, AK.801.Cylon kernel:
http://server1.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632219
Is this the latest? And is this and AK kernel thread (Diamond and Rubik) the same? Can someone clarify, I am new to this phone so still trying to piece everything together, thank you.
Yes. It's the same thread. The dev anarkia1976 aka Stefano and his team of testers are extremely active towards the kernel development. The latest experimental version is SKL v200 and stable is Rubik v16.
Diamond was the name if the earlier experimental version.
(The dev is so active, that by the time you read this, there may be another kernel out.. )
Hello. I'm new here, and new to forums in general, I usually don't post on them, so sorry if I made any mistakes in posting.
I rooted my first Android device (AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III) (d2att) two weeks ago and went from PAC ROM to AOKP 4.3.1 and I want to install the BMS Kernel on it.
On the BMS Kernel post it says to check if the ROM is a 3.0.y based or 3.4.y based and I don't know how to check what the ROM I have is based on. How do I check which kernel I can install?
Please help me.
Thank you.

3.4.y for latest AOKP. You can ask those questions directly in the BMS thread though, rather than create a new topic. =)
Thank you. And sorry about that, next time I'll ask questions directly in the original thread.
