Also, in response to your poll, I do love MIUI, but to use that on my phone I have to stay on 2.3

Ya but custom roms are cooler themn official roms so you should use them.

As far as I know there is currently not any available 4.2 custom ROM available for the S2. Suggest you start following activities here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204 I've started using JellyBam recently as the developer is constantly updating/active. I would be JellyBam will be updated to 4.2 as soon as possible: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162

look at the other thread of cyanogenmod 7 development for Samsung Galaxy 5 device)
Since I'm a developer of the Cyanogen port for this phone, let me answer:
Until the major bugs are fixed, we recommend you use Froyo. However, you will probably enjoy testing Cyanogen 7 for a day or so, if you can forgive the bugs.

In my current ROM - Indic font rendering is not working properly. I replaced DroidSansFallback.ttf in font folder. It is having right font now, however Conjuncts are not working. Any idea about that..
Also is it taken care in Cyanogen 7
CyanogenMod
I'm using the subpsyke's CyanogenMod and it's really good. A little slow but whatever
I recommend CyanogenMod 7.1 hotfix 1.4 .. is f***ing stable and works fast....I like this very much....ADW Launcher is incredible.I like that the menu was changed from that page format to grid...I got a lot of apps and games and they works fine.
Cyangen mod
i use Cyanogen Mod 7,1, and has overclocked my phone to 768mhz.
Its a new phone, me like it now.
I would definitly choose Cyanogen over original rom.

[Q] Custom ROMs for GT-I9100G?

What does it take to make custom ROMs like VillainROM work with the GT-I9100G? Can I just flash a ROM and then flash a kernel for GT-I9100G or is there more to it? Is there anyone working on a Custom ROM that works with the GT-I9100G?

thank mate i was wondering if any one could make it
seems like there are a number of us from India who have the I9100G. Lately it appears Samsung is bringing in the -G instead of the pure I9100 model.
Overall though it's surprising that the -G isn't being shipped across nations in bigger quantities. I have 3 SGS2's in the family (2 pure I9100 and my I9100G) and i can tell that while my G version for sure has better battery life and sound quality (most important for me).. it does tend to have slightly more lag in menu processing and hardware acceleration features.

there are two roms here , which one is the best ?
that akward moment, when you realize you bought a version of one of the most popular handys that nobody really mods for
beside that i recommend checking the development threads and maybe asking the devs if they maybe mod it for this version. i wish you good luck

thanks alot for fixing the vibration and haptic feedback. drove me nuts not having that.
keep up the great work! for all the g-victims out there.
I have one and don't worry "G" comes to Europe. Soon there everywhere "G" version of this phone. So custom roms, mods etc will come in time. And I must say that I didn't notice any menu lag gaming lag or something else on my phone.

[Q] which kernel to use with ressurection remix AOKP build 4.2.1?

hi friends, why doesnt the [ROM] posters add a "Supported kernels list" link to their page? How to know if the kernel is supported?? which kernel can i use with Ressurection Remix v3.1.4 ??
everything is running stable, but i cannot use Stweaks, and cannot overclock.
can i use Siyah kernel? it says it doesnt support 4.2.x ... which kernel supports this?? what am i missing .. i searched the threads and forums but was unable to find RELEVENT info..
it almost seems like no one is using RR
I try very hard not to create a thread, but search did nt help.. what keywords would you use to get the answers? can anybody also help me get a general idea?
these are "similar" threads.. still not the same though.. coz im not asking for battery life or anything. just a list of compatible kernels. is there no such list??!

Frankly Speaking Dont Use The Rom
It was Good when it was new
But now its Outdated
And hasnt been updated For about 2-3 months
Better Use this AOKP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178228
Its official and Good
And you can use stock kernal(the one which comes preinstalled)
or
Tamasek's Kernal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797109
I Would suggest you to use stock kernal as it is finely tuned for the rom
custom kernal sometimes damage the rom
Dont Forget to press Thanks
why doesnt the [ROM] posters add a "Supported kernels list" link to their page
That would mean testing every kernel and every continual kernel update .
Devs build rom either with a kernel or choice of kernels .
Want another kernel then users are expected to bother to read the faqs guides and how to first . A bit of knowledge gives the user enough to read a kernels description and decide for themselves . Or even ask in the rom or kernel thread .

[Q] What means nightly and relace

Hello there, I just install Pac man rom 4.3 nightly in my s3 9300 the internacional version, and is super investable, reboots, crashes all the time, what's the difference between release and nightly, i want a more stable version of this rom if that is posible, thanks

I'm a newb myself but from what I understand - nightly means a ROM still in development (i.e. not fully complete) whereas a stable release is a ROM that has all the essentials and only getting tweaking.
Galaxy S3 will never get a stable release as Samsung don't want to give us the Exynos sources needed to make a complete ROM (i.e. to make it 'stable' per se). However, the nightlies on some builds are fantastic and can easily be used for daily purposes. Don't know much about Pac Man Rom though, so can't help you there.
Hope that helps and I'm sure someone will come to correct me very soon!

New OS for GALAXY PLAYER 4.2

Hello everybody,
I am looking for new android version for my Galaxy Player S 4.2. And I can't find it !
The best is to find an Android 4.x.x version.
I know to use ODIN.
Thank youvery much for your help.
And there simply isn't one (that I know of). You're stuck with CM7.

Dude. Would you mind being a bit more specific? You cant just "find" an "Android 4.x.x" and "know to use Odin". Is it that you're trying to flash Android 4.x? Are you looking for a new ROM for 4.x? Help us help you

To make a long story short, there are no 4.x ROM ports for the Galaxy player 4.2. If you're interested in a custom stock one, or CM7, here are the links...

These are the only ROMs for the 4.2 that is not a stock rooted ROM, and still has working links.
I know it must be frustrating for owners of this device to find out that it does not have any new version of Android (I too have one), and is stuck with GB, but lately there have been a number of threads with the same question, so I suggest anyone reading this and about to post the same question again to think twice.
