1.lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+flash+a+rom+on+samsung+galaxy+player+5. Google is your friend.
2. Any rom that isn't in developement is fine. Your choice.
3. There are no risks if you do it properly. Benefits are usually listed in the rom thread.

You can try this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579774
It's not a "custom ROM" with a lot of features and tweaks. It's based on a stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.6) and it's rooted, deodexed, with CWM Recovery and some other features...
For flashing instructions click on the link in the ROM's thread "Flashing Rom with Odin" where you will find a tutorial to the process...
To prevent any problem flash the right ROM for your device (International or USA version), you will only miss the SoundAlive feature that's crap in Gingerbread but games and other apps works fine.
Hope I helped and sorry for my crap english

Shrug. You wanted stock with very little modifications. The only mods there are root + a2sd support. (Oh, and removed FB+Twitter junk).
(There is a nandroid backup of 2.2.x posted somewhere here, but I cannot find it and IMHO if you want stock ROM, it is pointless to flash 2.2.x now).
Hi guys,
First, sorry for my English... I'm Brazilian... =x
Well... i have bought a LG P500 and i really don't know what i will do with it, because i don't understand this whole thing about custom roms, kernel, custom recovery, ...
But i'm reading some articles and i'm in a doubt... what i do?
I install a Custom ROM (like void forever 2.3.4)?
or
I install the 2.3 GB (Officil FW)?
Thanks!

void. #forevah.
LOL. "What is the best" asks for a nice flamewar. Would suggest to use the phone with stock FW for a while, perhaps just root it and continue reading.
Why?
The one advantage that I (a noob) can see, is the language (the void rom is available in PT-BR, but the official FW is available only in PT-PT... =s).
The official FW can allow me to fix the touch bug?
And what is the other advantages? It is really faster? The perfomance is better?
Thanks!

Since you're new in this I'd suggest you to take it easy atm. especially while we have ported gb, official gb, different basebands etc etc you'll get confused. Keep your current stock, root it and try to install recovery. After that you should try flashing some froyo roms or CM or andy's and you see how it goes. Baby steps

There is no touch bug on 2.3.3 stock ROM. Other than that - really, take your time and do some reading. You are asking horribly generic questions.

Hi, fellow brazilian here. I suggest you start by rooting your phone, install recovery then install franco.kernel v18cfs. It will fix the touch bug, speed up ur phone and will give you great battery life. This way youll have a tottaly bug free device.
As others said, wait a little before installing a custom rom. They all have little bugs, enjoy stock froyo for a while and keep reading the forum.

Oh, yes...
I have read about this Custom ROM! In a poll in this forum, it is winning with a good difference...
Well, can you answer three questions, please? =D
1 - This Custom is really better than Noejn's?
2 - It is available in my language? (PT-BR)
3 - How many points this custom makes in a benchmark?
Thanks!

After flashing recovery, don't forget to make a complete nandroid backup from custom recovery, before you start messing with your phone... So u can always restore your current firmware.

Erm and copy it to pc..

Root, install recovery and do a nandroid backup. Its easier to restore the stock rom using recovery, and safer too.
I can see you are eager to install gb on your device, despite our suggestion to keep your stock rom for a while. Then i suggest you flash mik's cm7, IMO the best rom out there.
Every rom based on cm7 has pt-BR, and in my experience mik's cm7 + franco.kernel + ungaze's data2sd is the fastest combo available.

Edit.:
I didn't found the tutorial about the Nandroid Backup... anyone can send it to me?
And now I know what is data2sd... =D
Thanks!
Edit²:
What rooting i should do?
SuperOneClick or z4root?
And what Custom Recovery? Mik's?
Thanks again!
Please, someone!
XD
ungaze data2sd is script for making some memory of your sd card function as phone memory....so that you can install more apps without moving them all time to sd.....as suggested go step by step....
1.root your phone using gingerbreak.
2.install rom manager from market.
3.install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager.(dunno abt language)
4.reboot into recovery and do a backup of rom.(nand :there is an option in rom manager menu too :"backup rom")
5.flash franco 18.1.
6.flash rom of your choice.(mik /andy/noejn anyone .....better ones from them are on the way)
take your time after each step...dont be in a hurry...and complete this before asking other questions!!
hit thanks if i helped you
Thanks man!
But, one question...

I would have went with CM7 since Gingerbread is newer than Eclair with many more capabilities and optimizations. It's still your choice though and if you just don't want gingerbread (for some reason), you could go with Froyo (linked in that thread) which is also newer than Eclair.

Follow the steps here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...gingerbread-rom-on-huawei-u8120-vodafone-845/ (skip step 2 if you are going to flash a different rom).
There is any problem if I flash a different ROM?
So here is my progress:
1)I flashed my Vodafone 845 with Clockworkmod Recovery and I installed ROM manager
2)I tried to install the Roms from previous replys but no luck!After I press install the phone reboots
in install menu and then it gives me an error reboots right away!
What can I do?Thanks in advance

Try wiping data/cache partitions/dalvik cache then reflashing the rom.

Hi everyone! I've had for an year an amazing Nexus S (aw.. so google..) and now I'm a very happy owner of a GSII (so freakin' fast!). I thouhgt to keep the telephone with the original rom waiting for ICS but... when I saw the so HEAVY personalization by samsung! Sigh... it's so Gingerbread! it even seems ICS!
Now the question.. I've seen so many acronyms near the roms. What they stand for? I mean like XXLPQ, LPQ, LPE, XXLPH or stuff like that.
And what if I would put on a rom that is PURE GOOGLE? I saw the WanamLite, is it stable/fast/daily-use? Do you suggest this or other roms?
How to install cooked roms? With the NS you have to unlock the bootloader, install the cwm and you're done. Do you have to unlock the bl with the GSII? Can I install the cwm with rom manager and then I'm done?

That is the firmware version and/or region. Latest is ICS XXLPQ.
I suggest you Checkrom v6 (soon ICS!) is the most stable popular and stable rom around.
Thanks, but how? xD
As I said I don't have idea. Any bootloader to unlock? Just download rom manager and install the cwm?

galaxy phones can be tricky if you came from a nexus. Basically you have to read the FAQs, but in terms of flashing stuff the biggest difference is that the recovery and kernel are linked. You can't flash a separate recovery, and that's why you can't use clockworkmod.
There is no bootloader unlock thingy also. But you'll need Odin instead.
Keeps these points on mind and then read the FAQs again. And good luck!

I've just installed the Omega V5.0 ICS ROM and its awesome, and is based off the XXLPQ firmware
Method,
I started from a 2.3.5 firmware, rooted it using a cf-root-sgs2_xx_oxa_ki3-v4.1-cwm4.zip and odin.
I copied the Omega zip rom to my sd card, rebooted into clock work recovery (the chainfire kernel installed clockwork automatically)
Followed the instructions for doing the thee wipes on the Omega home page.
and did the install from the sd card.
Hope that helps some...
Obivously every custom rom has its own instructions.
Hello,
has someone have the old stock rom GT-I9100_XEN_I9100CEKI2_I9100XENKH1_I9100XXKI1.rar available and want to share this with me ?
It is the version for the Netherlands.
I'm currently on stock 4.0.4 (no root) but I'm not happy with it and want to go back to GB.
I have searched the net but it seems that the stock Roms for GS2 are not available anymore, they seem to be removed.
Please share this file with me !

Thanx ! I did use google but the sites I got back reported only that the file had been removed.
Thank you for the link.
Another question, I am not going to wipe anything as the phone isn't rooted and has no CWM recovery on it. Will it still be dangerous to flash this old rom back using Odin ?
One of the reasons I want to go back is because of the bug which could brick the phone.
Thanx for the heads up
