[Q] Jellybean s2/ :s?! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After a little digging around i found this:
http://www.itechpost.com/articles/3218/20120703/galaxy-s2-s3-jelly-bean-custom-rom.htm
And I see that network data has been fixed, brilliant! I think so I start downloading... but just to be on the safe side I check the XDA galaxy s2 forums and find it says galaxy s2 only has the site got it wrong or is it for s2/s3?
My point is if i try this on my s3 is there a chance ill be using it to build a house?
Thanks :laugh:

Yup - there's a lot of great things happening with Ace, so we wanted to put it back on the main index.
Most of the carriers in Asia just released the Galaxy Ace this May 2011 and June 2011. That's probably why we're seeing greater activity now for the Ace than before.

I understand. If a search on XDA provides no results, use Google. XDA's search engine is good, if you know how to use it. I've been using google since 2000 and almost always found what I was looking for. The key to using a search engine, is in the way you ask your questions. When you perform a search, search engines look for results matching the words in your search term. The more information you provide in your question, the more accurate the results willl be. For example:
I noticed in your OP [original post), that the information you provided was too vague. "I have a Galaxy S II"...There are several variants of this phone, so be specific. Include as much detailed information as possible in your question or search query. For example; if you're searching for a froyo style lockscreen, try this:
"froyo style lockscreen app, mod, addon, apk for the Galaxy S II i777 (or which ever variant of the SGS II you have). Google will now search indexes with those specific words. This will greatly improve your chances of finding what you are looking for.
Although XDA is not a support forum, there are a lot of people willing to help you, IF...
1. You are polite.
2. If you've demonstrated that you have tried to help yourself BEFORE asking your question, by including what steps you took to find a resolution. People are more willing to help you, if they know you have first tried helping yourself.
3. You don't come across with an attitude of entitlement.
4. That your question is well thought out; including accurate detailed information.
5. Use the thanks button for those who have helped, even if their answer wasn't the one you were looking for. Afterall, they were kind enough to help the first place.
The thanks button is there as a way to show your appreciation. If soneone took the time to help you; thank them for it.

You're welcome friend. If you ever need help, just ask. Nobody should ever be treated with disrespect for asking questions or making mistakes. Just take time to read and research before asking for help. And if anybody flames you, or insults you, report that person, because that is against the rules.
Best of wishes.

Which development area?

Hi just got s2 today exchanged desire HD. Going to root on Monday but noticed there are 3 development areas for this phone how do I know which one is for my phone?
Thanks, PS while I'm here which ROM is recommended and why
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Regarding which rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612881
As for the 3 development. Check about phone under settings. Make sure you have the i9100 instead of the i9100G. If you have the i9100G, there is only 1 development section.
If you have the i9100, just check out the other 2 development sections.

Put it this way mate...
His answer is actually right. Your usage pattern, mine, and his are unlikely to be the same. Taste as well. Therefore best ROM discussion is a moot point.
On different sub forum, he mentioned that you should take precautions differentiating I9100 and I9100G. If you need additional explanation, please read the sticky thread in the Original Dev sub-forum stating the difference.
My last note, don't write anything when you're emotional. It will just backfire.
Note to OP - acting like a **** won't get you the help/info you're after. On the contrary, I'd be surprised if you get much help after that. Kaze asked a valid question.
The 3 development sections have nothing to do with anything re: rooting your phone (or anything else for that matter).
You need to start with something easy by the looks of things, might want to read the Stickies. No roms are recommended. Asking for rom recommendations is the height of laziness. Try a bunch of roms out until you find one you like the same as everyone else.

Note to you, sell your S2 and get a iPhone or Nokia 3310.
When your new to a forum or should I say a part of a forum your there looking for help. I.e. the whole point of a forum.
I know that trying roms out is a personal preference but it is quite nice to have a couple of opinions to start out but hey that was clearly too hard to do.
This is meant to be a question and answers area so asking questions is what is meant to happen. What is the point in having a forum if no one is wiling to have a discussion about things.
Only seen this kind of attitude in certain places, quite sad really

Yes but you miss the point. This question has already been asked a million times over, no need for another topic, go read the ones already created. This is specifically why mods have created sticky topic telling you not to ask this question and why the user who you *****ed about gave you the link.

Plenty of discussions going on.
well put it this way I just read the thread pl4sma told me to read and I'm still not really much clearer why there are 2 sub forums in development area, and by the looks of it I'm not the only one confused so that is a valid question.
The second part I was simply asking for opinions rather than flashing consistently to find what I want. I find as you use the phone you realise which bits are best and change ROM based on that, when you initially start using you don't really know which one to try so it is nice to get opinions and maybe base your first try on what others think.
You have to remember that everyone starts out new and its over time you work things out. Doesn't mean people should be flamed instantly. Search doesn't always give desired results.
Plus if people don't want to answer things over and over then surely they can simply choose not to respond

One is original development the other uses bits and pieces from other devs to build the roms . How to tell as usual its in the stickies .

The what is best rom is banned due to the thousands of exact same posts and the fact that users and their needs are different .
The what is the simplest rom for me to start learning how to flash SGS2 is an acceptable type of question .
You have to remember that everyone starts out new and its over time you work things out. Doesn't mean people should be flamed instantly. Search doesn't always give desired results.
No but you normal read the rules followed by the stickies faqs and guides first .
Plus it was you that started the bad behaviour with your reply to the first valid answer you received .
Plus if people don't want to answer things over and over then surely they can simply choose not to respond
Its the ones who refuse to read and ask the same stuff over and over that dont really belong as they just take .

Thanks for another decent reply, I understand the differences now and is really all that was needed. As you can see from the original question the ROM part was at the end but having a start point would have been nice.
problem I had with first reply is they probably took more time to find the link they did then it would of taken to answer the question.
This discussion would have ended there and then, but instead giving such an unhelpful response caused all of this.
Lessons to be learned by all I think.

Dude I've owned a vibrant for 3 years. I know what the hell I'm doing. I just wanted to know if ota was possible.
Ohh and by the way I did follow your little instructions. Too bad it seems like when you upgrade with Odin it takes away the lock screen.
This is why I ask people what to do, people who are willing to help with experience. I've researched and I didn't find anything that answered my questions. I'm not gonna waste my time when there is a forum on here just for those questions. Do how about you just shut the hell up man? You see I get pissed at the "Just search it up" people like you on forums. Data gets outdated when it comes to technology. New methods are always created for problems. This makes older threads irrelevant and makes your statement irrelevant. Do how about you quit being rude to new comers and just answer the damn question like others without the "why won't you just put the effort to search it up" crap. The effort has already been put with no avail.

Maybe you should not take it too personally. People who don't use Kies or have rooted their device use Odin. If you fail at using it (like the lockscreen issue that has nothing to do with Odin), that's not our problem.
My answer wasn't that offensive. 'Use Odin, the instructions do exist here on xda' was the advice, because spoonfeeding isn't allowed here (xda-rules).
About your last point: if there were some new 'better' methods here, why couldn't you find them? Because the old ones are still relevant, that's why. You just didn't want to use them. That's up to you. If you're still mad when someone's telling you that, please stay away from here.
