I used my upgrade from my Nexus S 4g and decided to come over the the S2 on Sprint. I intend to play with this phone till my wife upgrade is in August which she will take the S2 in hopes that I will get the S3 by then.
Been reading up on these posts on here and I think I got it but wanted to make sure.
1. I need to Odin to get root with el29?
2. Never flash, wipe, reset data in ICS CWM?
3. Is it me or are there no Kernels like AirKernel for this phone?
4. I plan to go with CNA as I had on my Nexus. Love that rom anything you would like to share about this rom?
Any advice on the questions would be great and to be honest I really only post here and there but I'm always on here. Been here since the release of the Evo 4G.
Thanks.
Thanks and it awesome to be a part of the S2 community. WOW.
Really feels welcome here......
You're sure to get help now, getting all pissy that someone didn't help you at 5:30 on a Sunday morning. Good luck

Wow, congrats to the E4GT community. You just enrolled another winner to the team.
How come no one rolled out the red carpet within the first few hours of this thread?
Glad I moved onto another phone, you guys really suck here
OP, you should get a GN. After my first post there, I was sent a 4 course meal from my favorite restaurant.
xda same as always...
Stoked to be here though.
Sort of asking for help, those are things that I've read up on. Just kind of a ice breaker more then anything.
Welcome to the party and congrats on the new phone.
The only question I can answer is #1, which is yes, to get an easy start just Odin sfhub's one-click EL29 for root, then read, read, read in the development section for all the goodies available.
Happy flashing and remember, if you brick your phone it's all on you.
1. I rooted just fine without Odin.
2. Yes it's also recommended you do that with most roms overall to avoid technical difficulties later on.
3. Idk what airkernel is, but there seems to be a limited choice if kernels for ginger.
4. CNA? Don't think I've seen a ROM called that around here but what do I know? I'm just a newbie...

You just have to have thicker skin over here, people may seem a little harsh at times (me included) but at the core of their comments you typically find the truth you needed. If you read around enough you'll see there are a lot of good people in this community. I'd suggest you start with the thread below to see what I mean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572184
Most important of all, just follow the #1 rule of thumb for the internet, don't take things personally and you'll be just fine.
Oh, also, don't expect anyone here to a)kiss your butt (well maybe iSaint j/k lol), b)hold your hand or c)pat you on your wee little noggin when you f*ck up because you didn't read and ended up bricking your phone. That is all.
Everybody moved to the Evo One. This place is a ghost town now.

Coming from a Evo then a Nexus S 4G I can't believe the trouble ones has to go through flashing roms that are ICS.
Odin is easy so that is nice but still. Seems like a lot of effort.
This phone is sweet. I just got to wait till I actually have time from work, kids and family so I can sit down and root this think and flash away.
Excited.
I can honestly say if it weren't for Odin and sfhub's one-click goodies I would probably still just be an observer on this forum. But he made it easy and then I learned to flash recovery and in doing so was able to start flashing Calkulin's custom ROMs. Although that's as far as I've gotten for now it's a long way from where I began and I'm excited for what's around the corner.

Once the source is released and official ota's are out im sure all the kinks will be ironed out. Development for ICS is still early for this phone. Using Odin isnt that bad, you can still flash a rom in about five minutes.

It may seem a bit overwhelming at first but it really is incredibly easy. Just make sure your CWM is stock (just flash CM7 or GB Miui), and then you should have no issues flashing ICS.
mobile Odin is your friend guys. as quick as a reboot.

And no there aren't any kernels like Air, Matrix, Trinity on this phone but you will BD happy with stock or the repack

For those that were using, are using, or are interested in the development of Wildchld's ROM (xquizit), I was asked to coney this message:
"I had just finished doing some final tweaks Sunday and Monday I landed
in the hospital with pneumonia from the flu. Now the new firmware has
pushed back the release... I believe this is the only rom with
multiwindow and wifi calling and it was a lot of work to keep both working.
Anyway at home in bed need to rest let the community know plz. Also the
S3'ers too. Once I'm feeling better I'll open threads on RootzWiki with
both the N2 and S3 roms. The S3 may be out soon as it was about ready to
release too.
Thx!
wc"
I don't know details, I also don't need to know how much you love/hate the ROM or the developer. I'm just passing the message along.
CHEERS!
From the Note 2.

I am now a proud owner of the Note 2!! Woo.
Just thought i'd introduce myself to this squad and say hello.
I've been flashing ROMs for nearly 10 years now, and can't wait to get my feet wet on this guy.
I'll be reading through all the stickies and read me first posts in the next day or so, but if you have any suggestions for a new Note 2 owner, i'd certainly be willing to listen.
Thank you all.

I'm using PA 3.1 and I've not had so much fine ricing up the framework in my phone before. It's really handy being able to change dpi considering everything looks so huge normally. It makes you be able to use up more screen real estate. Per-app coloring gives a nice finish that is hard to find on any other ROM.
However, just on the nose, I think the way it displays coverage is a little patchy.

That looks pretty decent. I know i want a relatively vanilla ROM without too much stylizing and theming. I could care less what launcher it has, because i'm just going to use Apex either way.
The features i'm most interested in are: google wallet, photosphere, unlimited mutliwindow, full s pen function, swype, fully customizable lock screen, changeable DPI, unlocked wifi tether, as well as all the other feautures that basically come standard now a days. I'm on the fence about allshare too.
If anyone knows a stable ROM that fits that description, I'll probably hit that up first.

Most of the ones that I posted for you are like that. But some are heavily themed. And I noticed you like a stock look. Well SKY NOTE :thumbup:, has what your asking for. Completely stock with everything in it!!! And it's made by a excellent developer!
But if I were you, I would down load a few of them. Then if you find one you like. But you saw other things in others you like. I just mix & match a few things. Then I'm a happy camper because I have everything I want in one place!

I need some perspective here. I have been rockin Jelly Thunder RC4 (which happens to now be closed with no links to RC4) since late January and have had no desire to flash anything else. Prior to attaching myself to JT, I was simply a flashaholic like most of us. I have this rom tweaked and setup to completely satisfy my needs.
A few days ago, I called myself looking around. I did a nandroid of my current setup in anticipation of flashing one of the newest latest greatest roms. Ultimately, I couldn't do it. Am I missing anything out there right now? There appears to be a wealth of activity and some great looking roms buzzing with activity. Are there any other rogue JT RC4 uses out there that can relate to where I am right now? Do I need therapy? Lol... I absolutely love this rom. Sadly, it was abandoned but the developer abandoned a masterpiece.

JT was a great rom. I'm a flashaholic though so I change my roms like my underwear, a couple time a week. (I kid, I kid).
But for me newest clean rom is worth a try. It uses the newest international rom and is super smooth and great battery with lots of mods and themes floating around.
I also keep back ups of Jedi and Team Zodiac's rom. Both good choices.
Roms are opinion based of course but I don't see how you've kicked the need to flash.

International all the way. Much better. No carrier bloat and newer releases as far as changlist straight from Samsung.
Hang tight, Wish and I are planning a rom when 4.2.2 comes out, if it does like they say. I have no answers to why truth walked away. Even if JT gets an update, you won't even notice the difference. I'm sure he checks xda, so maybe he can respond. Dought it.

I am trading a guy tomorrow for a Galaxy note 2, white, mint. He has had it in an otterbox defender, as I have had my iphone 5 in one too. I am stoked. I really cant wait to journey back to android. I had my iPhone on iOS 7, and while I will give it leeway because it was a beta, I did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked. After having my jailbreak lost I figure why not join the ranks of android again! But with a twist, start with this behemoth, I have always wondered what it would be like to have one. I will see it tomorrow. Anything I should know before going into the trade with this phone specifically, any firmware number I should avoid or stress areas I should check? Can't wait! :good:
Best decision you ever could of made, tho you might be able to get some extra cash from him since iphones value are more then android phones.
4.1.2 based roms are more stable then the 4.2.2 since those are unofficial (not carrier based)
Just read the stickies in these forums and youll be rooted and flashing new roms in no time, enjoy this beast phone!

Thanks a lot, I don't mind the price difference, that not important to me really, It's all the same to myself, the guy seems nice enough and I am getting an otterbox defender out of it, which I would buy anyway! Thanks for the advice though!
