[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 :)

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.

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.

Ive been searching XDA for the TW 4.1.2 ktoonsez kernel, but I cant find it. can anyone link to a working download for the T-mobile S3? Thanks
LuigiBull has a massive thread with every version of that kernel. Including the one you are after. But my advice is to avoid the TW version. It's not good, stock is much better.
Thanks. I know I've seen that thread somewhere but I couldn't find it. I'm running goosh Rom and it's great but I wanted to try the ktoonz kernel since I've heard so much about it. Is there another TW kernel for 4.1.2 that would be good, or are all TW kernels not that great?

faux has one. I tried it and wasn't impressed. I keep going back to the stock MD5 kernel. I've heard the AT&T MG2 kernel is good, but I've never used it.
Just curious what other users are running? 4.1.2? Updated to 4.3? Any interesting ROMS/Kernels?
Right now, I'm running:
StockMOD Custom ROM Touchwiz 4.3
I'm planning on trying out decimalman's kernel playground, after a failed attempt to run KT747. From what I can tell KT747 doesn't seem 100% compatible with TW4.3 (I can't vouch for any other ROMS, though). Has anyone else had success with a TW4.3 ROM and KT747?
Anyways, what are you running? I'd be interested if anyone has found some good stuff for TW4.3.
KT747 and S3rx was my daily ROM but now I use KT747 on DocHolliday's 4.4 sprint leak.

I had SlimKat with KT747 until last week. Now I have C-Rom (4.4.2) with KT747.
Such a survey to see what users have is fine. Let's just not make it into "What's the best Rom ?" thread.
I'm running SlimKat 4.4.2 build 5 stable with the latest BMS kernel.
CyanogenMod 11 (latest nightly) with the latest KT kernel.

True, I stay on TouchWiz mostly for the Wi-Fi calling. I think the best feature is seriously the Samsung keyboard with the row of numbers up top (I think that's extracted from the Notes).

Right now using a heavily debloated and customized (by me) Dandroid ROM (Android 4.1.2) with DKP kernel running Intelliactive+SIOPlus along with Greenify and the most recent V4A audio mod (plus NC2 Bootloader). Not sticking with the 4.3 TW battery hog.
Nice Discussion, but let's please keep this on Track. If you have a question, please open a new thread. The intent of this thread is to find out what the users have on their phone. Not necessarily discuss merits or why/why not of their decisions.
So Let's not go Off Track please.
Recovery--> Multiboot v2.1
ROM--> (primary boot) Mokee Rom 4.4.2 Kitkat | (secondary boot) Ubuntu Touch
Kernel--> BMS 3.4y- CPU Gov- Smartmax | I/O Scheduler- Fiops
Runtime--> Dalvik (default) | ART
Theme Engine--> CM Theme Engine
Sound Enhancer--> DSP Manager | CM11s Audio FX (Acoustic with 27% bass, no sound effects)

Battery Monitor--> DU Battery Saver

As Perseus previously asked, please stay on topic here... Thread cleaned...

yo anthonol u said u gotz multiboot recovery. but how is that better than TWRP or CWM?
and how long do your battery last?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah! It's TWRP with Multiboot feature actually, see here
It's better than CWM for me because it flashes all the ROMs I know of that CWM can flash and it has a more user friendly UI with the fact that it can boot 2 ROMs alternately....
In terms of battery life, I average about 41/2hrs on screen time with data or wifi on and about 6hrs with wifi or data off... With minimal use battery will last for about 12 to 14hrs and when I use DU Battery Saver power saving settings with minimal use it's about 16-17hrs.... Battery life varies a lot depending on usage, how bright the screen is and how much apps are syncing and believe me, I have a lot of apps syncing....
Guys, please note, the purpose of this thread is specifically to JUST list what you have got on your Device and that's it.
It is not the purpose of this thread to discuss WHY YOU HAVE SOMETHING THERE.

No DN3 v5 hasn't got any bootloop. It doesn't require S5 Mods Pack. It has already a lot of from S5. If you want a lot S5 app you should use this topic :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690997
or use this pack :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704873
I think you flashed DN3 v4's S5 Mod Pack and you get bootloops. Because this pack isn't compatible with DN3 v5.
And I am using Emotion Revolution 6.0
I can say it has very good features but its apks are very outdate. I can't understand ROM Makers why they don't update apks in ROM. For example Xposed's latest version 2.6.1 but in ROM version 2.6, App Setting's latest version is 1.9 but in ROM 1.7.1 etc. I think it is important.
Also there are a lot of extra bloatwares which is not stock app for example Android Music Player. I am using different music players and I don't want this in my ROM but unfortunately they included it.
And I have a bug. I switched on Private Mode in Settings but it doesn't switch off.

yep,you are correct ,i flashed s5 mods v1.5 with DN3 v5 and got bootloops...actually i quite liked some s5 features..so my fault here
regarding the apks being outdated...i think we can make them user apps in titanuim backup application so to update them...or else completely remove from system/apps and install as normal apk..so updating them would be just as easy as normal apps
and how did you turned on private mode...this rom is deknoxed and private mode need knox components to work

Could you leave a link?
These threads asking about which rom is best are not helpful and are completely subjective, thus it ends up being users dogging on this rom versus that. The correct course of action for someone with your question is to read & test for yourself - no one can tell you which rom will be best for you but you. Closed.
