I tried searching the forum, found a lot of useful information but need to know my options are like which ROM is better / more stable etc and which one works in my case. Also I would like to know which option is best for me because I just bought a phone which I think is already rooted.
Please see the attached picture of my phone.
I just need advise so that I don't end up installing something in-compatible or something and end up bricking my phone.
Please advise or guide me in a right direction which steps or tutorial to follow to install jelly bean 4.1.1 on my i9100 ?

You're on siyah kernel. If you wish to keep your current kernel, you can install a cm10 rom released before 02 oct or JB ROM that hasn't used the latest mali drivers since siyah hasn't incorporated those yet.
The good news is you won't hard brick your phone..siyah is a safe kernel.
Look around the various ROM threads in the android development section, see if one catches your fancy and enquire if its compatible with siyah..since recommending ROMs goes against forum rules.
Also, most ROMs will include a kernel installation while installing them. Long story short, if you aren't insistent on keeping your current kernel you can flash pretty much any JB ROM built for the i9100. Be careful not to install any ROM for a different variant of the phone.
If you have any questions you can ask here or feel free to PM me.

Just need advise, is this siyah ? is this good ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798266
or this is better option ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810042
Also how can I know that my phone has CWM Recovery ? Is there any way to find out or by looking at my settings screenshot above - it means I have CWM Recovery ?

If you are running siyah kernel, then yeah, you have cwm
Thanks..
I know it totally depends on personal preference but I just need advise, is this siyah ? is this good ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798266
Is this the latest version of jelly bean by siyah ? new to forum and searching a lot but little confused with so many ROMS available...
or this is better option ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1810042
Siyah isn't a ROM, its a kernel. What you've posted are both ROMs. The first will run on your current kernel, the second will install the CM kernel. So you can try either one of the two. Look through at least the last couple of pages and see what others think on both forums. That might give you a better idea if its right for you. Else you can always flash the other one.
Good luck!

So based on the step to go in to recovery mode:
"Reboot into CWM Recovery mode by pressing Vol Up + Home + Power button (Release only power button when you see Samsung logo)"
I am doing this but I only see samsung logo with i9100 and it goes away then comes back in 5 sec then goes and comes back again... tried several time but cannot go into recovery mode, why ?
Update: I have successfully installed the Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on i9100: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798266

I have just rooted by galaxy s2 using cf root and odin 1.85.
my current firmware is XWKI4, reading through post particularly rooting methds (sroot and cf root), peopple are advised to download firmware which closes matches that of the stock rom, is this correct?
does it matter what kerner (or firmware) the custom rom comes with or does the curtom rom for me has to be xwkI4?
also, phones for my wife so list of most stable rom would be appricated.

No you are fine...You are rooted now so this is were the fun begins. Download a rom that you like and make sure you use recovery to flash it. Before you flash a rom make sure you make a backup of the current one you are on and make sure you back up your applications using Titanium backup. Then go ahead and flash a rom of your choice. Most roms always have a guide in the first page of their thread. Read it carefully and if you have to read it like ten times do so..That way you get a better understanding and at least you know what you are flashing.
Rom there are so many to choose from..Either Checkrom V4 that has a kitchen app or Foxhound. Also if you go in the Android development there are so many other roms there that you can flash...But like i said backup and do your reading first..Happy flashing
thanks for the quick response
I was thinking of trying checkrom or villianrom

Both roms are great. Try them both my friend you are not losing anything..That is the great thing about flashing roms..Try both for a few days and take it from there.
hello,
Well your phone is rooted now, so try what ever rom you like!
Look for the rom that's Best rated (4 or 5 stars).
If you want to stay on ginger, then what you mentioned are good amongst others.
If you like the iPhone look, then Try also the Miui ginger roms, DT Miui ginger is good).
Now if you like to go ICS then I recommandé you the Wanamlite (version 7.2 now), but put in mind that ICS is in 4.0.3 LP2 beta version, therfore still facing some problemes Yet. But it is worth to try.
One big advice though : in All cases, do your backup before, then wipe every thing from the reboot recovery CWM.
I hope this helps.
Best rom for you is the one you test yourself & decide works great for you. A Rom/kernel that works well for me might not work well for you (phone components slightly different, different phone setup, different usage).
Make sure you back up your EFS as well. Best way is with k-tool

pun the ignorance, what is EFS?
is there a thread where the rating of the rom is provided?

It's displayed alongside each thread/ROM in the Development forums. Not sure I'd set too great a store by those though. CheckROM is very reliable.
I wouldn't go anywhere near ICS for your wife - very high maintenance. (The ROM, that is, never met your wife...)

I have to agree with Gustopher here. Go for checkrom and then just install the ICS theme by Vertumus and your wife will a very happy lady.

Did you flash a custom recovry, such as CWM? From what I've learned here, the rolling recovery is usually
caused by using the wrong CWM.
For the Galaxy Tab 10.1, retail wifi model (7510), CWM version 5.5.0.4 usually recommended to prevent
rolling recovey.

Wish I could help you dody, but I'm a noob at this.
I can tell you that the CWM 5.5.0.4 file and the Root file I used worked fine on my tab (7510, US, retail, wifi only).
I have them stored in my Drop Box if you'd like to try them.
Hmmm youtube link should post that so we have a idea what you have done.
There lots of posts here on this subject.
You have choices depends on what want to do like root, custom Rom or reflash a stock Rom.

Greeting's folks!
So you know what you are dealing with:
OS: Win 7 x64 or Win XP SP3
Device: Samsung YP-G1-CW8ARB ( US )
Firmware: 2.3.5
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-G1UEK18-CL562400
Build: GB-UEKI8
Experience : Flashed/Rooted Samsung SCH-R720 ( MetroPCS )
Background:
Using these forums I rooted/flashed a SCH-R720 that was given to me. so, with that under my belt I thought I'd pick up a YP-G1 and root/flash again, using these forums and well.... didn't turn out as well as the R720.
Bootloop from hell.
Tried all the method's listed here and no dice (Cept the one using Linux but not having it installed made it a tad hard ). But I still had the receipt so, brought it back and now have a new one in box.
Needed:
What I'm looking for is ( I know this is most likely outta order so bare with me )
1: as complete of a back up as one can get while UnRooted. files,partitions & such. with a way to restore said back up.
2: Root Kernel with CWM ( To replace the e3 recovery menu )
3: As complete of a back up I can get after all this is done ( want a before/after )
4: Any tips/tricks for this model.
5: Any info I may have missed.
Again... that list is likely out of order but I think you get the idea.
Step by step would be great!
Forum posts that I missed using search!
Links!
And, as an offer to the old man across the street:

First of all let's see what is your device variant. Does it have a capacitive button or a physical one?

And learned something with just that question!
:good:
I was under the impression that the US variant only had the capacitive button and had no idea that both were available in the US.
Got that idea from your thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850 btw
But to answer the question: It has the capacitive button.
And nice to have one of the sites Recognized Contributor's lending a hand.
as Samsung till now don't update GT-I9100G with gelly bean. I decided to flash a custom rom
I downgrade as you advised me to ICS 4.0.3 KSA but I still have Insane chip
Now I must flash a CWM to flash the custom rom, It's safe to do this now as I will wipe data from it (CWM)
1-What is the appropriate CWM to my phone? and how can I flash it Via odin or Via Recovery mode?
2-I'm living in KSA which rom i choose [JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies or [JB 4.1.2][PA2.55][AOKP-ML1][CM10]P.A.C True All in 1 ROM? as I need mobile to read and write arabic without any external applications.
3- I had a problem "my phone is always open but when some one try to call me it say mobile is closed" Is that from the rom cause of different modem in rom or how can i fix this (this problem not from the carrier as i try the sim in Nokia mobile and worked fine).

first, u have a 'G' model (I9100G) which is quite Different Hardware wise fro I9100 international version and its variants M/P/T etc, so any advice given to u here with some gross oversight might hardbrick ur phone for sure ma8
hence i have given u the appropriate link for ur model (I9100G) in my previous post, so visit there and see
u have a 'Q & A' thread for i9100g there also, so try posting ur issue there for better results.
Hope its clear for u know

Remember guys, ROMs/kernels etc are all subjective so there really is no "best ROM" only ROMs that work best for you

Hey there im lookin and lookin and can't find anything what could make me happy
What am i looking for? well basically the most stable STOCK without withtout bloadware or at least with minimum blot apps in the ROM . Im not interested in any custom roms cause i tried to install one of the ''best custom''roms here and my phone was acting really strange im talking about AD 1.7.15 : P is there anything that works with 4.3 without problems? Ok i might give a try for another custom but ONLY for the one that not gonna have problems with waking up,not gonna turn off in the middle of day without even saying good night and icons wont dissapear from the screen .If theres anyone who might lend me a hand with verry clean stock rom id appreciate :*
Best rom recommendations are against the posting rules as they can cause bad feeling, try them for yourself.

Not sent from a shiny new phone.
ok if not about rom let me ask you another question. Ive got problems with waking up my phone soemtimes i just can't do it only removing battery helps.... i got new clean stock 4.3 after custom romany ideas what could cause that problem? It didnt happen before taht problem occured right after installing custom rom and still happens after comming back to stock rom
The early 4.3 firmwares had slow wake up issues, but only a delay not a failure to wake at all. The latest firmwares are better but still take a second or two to respond, but much better battery life in standby as a result.
If your phone is crashing in standby then try a full wipe, format internal sd card then fresh stock firmware (latest GNA8). Test before you install or restore anything, try without external sd card fitted. Check the log after a crash to see what the cause was.
Thats my current ROM

my problem occured after installing custom rom before that everything was ok my phone didnt sudenly turn off or had problems with waking up now i need to take battery off to make it run :/ could you give me a link to the latest (non branded) stock rom for 4.3? and do i have to install it trough ODIN? or root my phone cause atm it's unrooted and what about that wipe? do i have to do it in recovery mode? Could you give me a simple guide step by step how to do those things cause im a blonde girl got problems with understanding even simnple things :*
Oh and one more question will the rom have Polish language cause im actually Polish .
The sticky thread in general forum explains it step by step, returning to stock with Odin. Download the latest firmware for your country at sammobile.com, you don't need root. Wipe with factory reset in phone settings, accounts. After flashing boot into recovery and factory reset again.

I was once like you, wanting to find the most light weight firmware, but that was habit after previously having a Galaxy 3. (128mb of ram, 40-80mb app space, low spec'd).
Instead I'd just go for a well optimized rom for the S3, say it was compiled with O3 and the kernel was well tweaked. Flash the gapps micro, disable unwanted start-up programs and remove any further system software.
I'd use a 4.4 CM based rom, download the testing branch of the Boeffla kernel for CM11, Odexed gapps micro, enable Art in developer options, do the start-up stuff and apply any kernel tweaks you like. I'm using Resurrection Remix as it has a lot of features (missing a lot I'd like), generally faster than the other rom I usually use (Archi) and has pretty good battery in comparison.
Only you can decide which ROM works best for you. Each thread will have all of the information you will need to make a decision.
