If you install a custom Rom.. can you... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
I was wondering if you install a custom Rom (such as F1 sgs2 mod) can you react it back to the stock sgs gingerbread os if you don't like it or if you have problems with it?
Thanks in advance...

Yeah should be able too I imagine there's stock roms posted in the Galaxy S2 forum somewhere.

Yeah just visit samsfirmware site and download the version your phone came with or something newer and official for your country. Flash it and your ready.

Which ROM to use?

I'm currently using Lite'ning ROM and since the developer went MIA I'm thinking of changing to another ROM. I tried ToxicROM but dislike it due to various reasons...
One of the reasons why I wanna change is because my SGS2 often hang / restart / lag kinda problems which seriously annoys me..
Try one of the needs new stock roms.

Try = Install one of the latest/newest STOCK Samsung ROMs like KL1
That was the advice given .
Read the rom descriptions in the custom roms sections and decide what you want is another choice ,

I'm not a big fan of the stock ROM.
Go for CriskeloRom or CheckRom RevoHD. In my opinio, they are one of the best ROMs.
Hope this helps

I'm using CheckROM v4 with siyah kernel v 2.4.2.. My phone is very smooth, with good battery life and stability... I use this kernel only for bln, because the phone is good even with default settings..you can also try speedmod...
Hope this helps!

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Read the first page of the thread for the kernel you want to try. That will tell you which roms it's compatible with.
No suggestions. Reasons being you use your phone differently to everyone else, have it set up differently & no two phones come out of the factory the same. So you won't have exactly the same experience as me with a given rom or kernel. Also, many people who are users of a particular rom or kernel end up being total fanboys, rendering their opinion on same biased/meaningless.
So...Try out a bunch of roms/kernels until you find one you like. With CWM, it's so easy to backup/restore & flash roms/kernels there's no excuse for you not trying a bunch out for yourself.
Thanks man

[Q] quick kernel question

Hey guys i just downloaded and flashed Liquid Smooth Jelly Bean Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972331
I was wondering, i am very familiar with flashing roms, but I have never flashed a kernel. As i understand it is the same process as a rom, but i was wondering if I am able to flash using any kernel (written for the sgh-i717 model). If not, could anyone give me a few good kernels that would work with the Rom i flashed from the link i posted above? Any help appreciated

flash siyah kernal via ODIN (or any kernal you like), then you can flash any custom rom you like via CWM recovery. The rom you wanna flash depends on what your looking for.
Ok.
Thx

You can flash siyah 4.1.5 from gokhanmoral. Com for galaxy s2
Then you are rooted. You will get CWM 6.0.
Then from recovery take back up of your current stock rom.
And flash any ICS Based custom rom.
Do these steps then in future you want to try JB custom rom then let me know

Wow, I'm amazed that you actually asked this question.
Seriously dude, learn what sticky threads and search button are before attempting to flash a device.

Some questions regarding root...

Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

Give a try to the temporary unroot option in the superuser app...
Not guaranteed to work...
Download stock rom through sammobile.com and flash through odin only...

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

Try Omega for urself and see how it works...

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?
Thanks!

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
Best regards

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.
