It is my pleasure to let you know the guys who are looking for full Hebrew support (menus, RTL, fonts, etc.) for SGS2 i9100/T, there is a great custom Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM.
Look into this site (in Hebrew) ([רום][4.1.2][Firefds V11 [29/1/13][XWLS8 רום בעברית מלאה):
http://iandroid.co.il/forum/topic61693.html
The guys there made a great work creating it and allowing you to install the ROM via Odin or CWM.
Versions 4.0.4 and 4.0.3 and a Hebrew SGS3 ROM are also available there.
All the credit belongs to the developers there and I'm only a messenger.
Say thanks and donate to the developers. They deserve that.
Other great stuff - Yoelsd ROM (for SGS1, SGS2 (i9100/T and G) you can find here:
https://sites.google.com/site/yoelsdrom/
Good Luck!
I'm going to convert it for my i777 and to try soon... I ported Firefds to i777: was not that good, made me troubles with popping failed Play app. I've removed it. The Yoelsd ported ROM works just OK and I continue testing it.

I got my SGS2 in june 2011. At first I had stock roms but soon in august I moved to Checkrom RevoHD (Then still named Revolution HD)
And because rom was so good I just keep it the whole time. Latest version was v6 (2.3.6) released in February. Now developer just confessed he won't support rom anymore because he has moved to SGS3, has a life, etc.
The rom was so good and stable I'd never planned to replace. But now I think it's time.
Now the results of using just one rom whole time is I don't know what's currently going on, on custom rom dev scene.
So I'm now searching for a rom with folowing criteria and I'm seeking for your help:
:good: ICS of course,
:good: At least as much stable as Checkrom RevoHD was,
:good: Good performance-battery ratio,
:good: Stock Samsung's SGS2 looking (I don't want rom to be custom themed or visually changed. ex revoHD users know how checkrom looked)
:good: Some useful mods are welcome. Checkrom had kitchen. (Jkay was useful for Statusbar shortcut editing, we had browser useragent selection mod, modded camera app, sms mod so stupid phone won't convert long sms to mms..) Anything that can be generaly usefull.
:good: Oh and lastly good dev support (That means I wont need to look for another rom when next android update is released or bug found.)
I always used siyah kernel and will continue but you are welcome to change that. If you think there is better kernel out there tell me. Personally I would like more battery life, but not decreased performance.
Thank you for all your help. I will read this thread for few days and then decide.
And Rip Checkrom RevoHD (2011-2012) One of the best roms for Galaxy S2...
1) This one.
2) In light of 1), your thread won't be open for days (mods will be closing it presently). In other words, go over to the development sections, read up on some roms, then try a few out until you find one you like.
Search, read, test them out and make that decision yourself. Locked.
Cheers
my first post, please don't flame (too hard).
I've helped others with GPS and Play store glitch after jelly bean update, and now looking for some help.
My wife has an S2 i777 and did SIM unlock to use with T-MO.
It's GB 2.3.6. The PDA is i777 UCKK6.
I'm looking for RTL with Arabic language support. I've done weeks of reading and I found this nice thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292841 But that ONLY supports UCKH7
This phone is not rooted.
Looking for noob instructions for RTL arabic support.
Thanks in advance.
1. Upgrade to ICS and you should have proper Arabic support sans keyboard - AFAIK Hebrew/Arabic/all RTL language support was first introduced on ICS. When on ICS, download any Arabic keyboard from Play Store and you should be good to go.
2. Or move to deodexed GB ROM (any custom ROM) and run madmack's Arabic patcher (google it and you'll find it). It should work on any deodexed GB ROM, since it's based on Hebrew patcher that decompiles/recompiles the framework - but it's also the reason why it can't work on stock odexed ROM.
I suggest option 1.
Thanks Jack.
1) I heard that ICS was a complete failure and has bricked many i777 S2's. Are you saying to root and use custom ROM as opposed to the ATT update?
2) found what deodexed means... www wugfresh .com /guides / deodex/
Do you have any experience with the i777 S2 and ATT ICS OTA update?
Thanks
1. ICS is generally a better system on this phone IMHO. I do suggest moving to it through custom ROMs rather than through stock official upgrade - stock-based custom ROMs offer stock stability with customization options, and EMBRYO 5.4 is a good ROM that I'm happily running. Not sure how relevant the infamous "brickbug" is, but it's irrelevant for most custom ROMs.
If anyone more familiar with "brickbug" can chime in - you might get a better picture. I got mine with Gingerbread, installed TWRP recovery and flashed custom ROM about 1/2 hour after I got the phone, so I have no experience with stock GB/ICS.
2. "Deodexed" means - not odexed. With Google help:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
Stock ROMs are always odexed, so you'll have to move to a sort of custom ROM anyway. And if you do - you might as well go a better route than staying on GB.
Since I'm the kk6 (2.3.6) GB, do I need to downgrade factory image first in order to root? Or is there a tool out there to root and put a custom ROM (ICS or JB custom ROM).
Thanks
It's not one tool, it's more.
Read the stickies, they contain rooting guides. See that you understand what you're doing before proceeding.
Thanks Jack. I was just wondering if I needed to downgrade GB version first.
No, you don't need.
Just to let you know, there is a thank button to thank the user that helps you.
It's used a lot here on XDA.
You can thank 8 a day.

So I've been googling forever now trying to find a cusrom rom for the galaxy player 4.2 and unfortuently can't find one is there any out yet? I have it rooted with a custom recovery any help :/
Actually, there is, but their not exactly "custom ROMs", they are stock based ones.
- ChaOS ROM: It's a 2.3.6 XXFL1 Based ROM, with two different Themes (Jelly Bean & SGS3), made by @ChaosChris. You can see in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279806
-BigRom (A family-based ROM): It's a 2.3.6 XXFL1 Based ROM also, it counts with the default theme, ad-blocker, and the newest version of BusyBox, made by @[email protected]:-$. There is the Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499635
Given the above. And all users are encouraged to read the development threads. As XDA is not a support site, this thread is closed.
Hello to everyone in the section of this wonderful device, today wandering around on various forums i have seen many roma in KitKat style for the various device (even those much older than that) and i had an idea for cooperve, which is to create a custom rom in full KitKat 4.4.2 style (with easter eggs, boot animation, etc...) but unfortunately i had to give away the ace-i, as i took the note N7000.
For those wishing to help me in the development of this rom will be offered as a tester. Anyone interested can contact me quietly in PM or on the forum. GG2SD.
This should be in general section
+1 to Envy-X also we rather want to see stable and smooth CM9 than modded gingerbread / CM7 with kitkat UI...
:what:

Hey!
There are some ROMs with KitKat theme but anyway. The tags on the title of this thread which should be moved on general, are misunderstood by first as it looks like you are requesting a 4.4.2 ROM and not a themed 2.3.6 as 4.4.2. Anyway good luck on your ROM.
Regards!
Teddy
Iam making tw s5 cm7 but its so hard my frist room build

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

You're right Dude, sorry !
In fact, my daughter have a rooted Galaxy Player 4.2 with Android 2.3.6.
My aim is to upgrade it in a 4.x.x version.
I hope it's more clear for you now and you could help me.
Many thanks.
Its rooted? Have you used Odin to flash a kernel onto her Player?

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.
