Ports for Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know whether there are any ports for Galaxy S2? I mean I know that latest Samsung official firmware was 4.1.2 but I was wondering if any devs made ports from other devices (such as Galaxy S3 for example) running JB 4.3.x or KK (4.4.x) or LP (5.x) etc. Searched XDA but I could not find any, grateful if someone could share their findings in this regard. Many thanks!

Hmmm....no one any ideas?

On SGII can find:
Stock base: normally latest stock without changes 4.1.2
Stock based: based on latest stock but with many changes (root,extra apps,kernels,...) 4.1.2
Custom roms: More devs create unofficial roms without her drivers but functions more stable example CM, LOS, RR.....

[Q] Stock based rom VS CM10 based roms

Hey!
I see that the CM based roms are somehow not so popular on SGS3. Why?
And stock based roms are so active
So?
Cause Samsung knows how to do it.
Probably The Memory Leak
still loving CM here.

Who can help me to find kernels who are compatible with android jelly bean 4.2.1??????
There are none!
Samsung haven't released the kernel source code so no one can make a kernel. Samsung release the code a while after releasing the rom, which unless I've missed something - they haven't released yet either
Edit... you're not taking about Google Android 4.2.1 btw. You're talking about Samsung builds based on android 4.2.1 which is a completely different thing.

[Q] Kernels for Omnirom KK 4.4

Hello, I have recently moved from stock JB to Omnirom on S2. I tried to search but couldn't find. So would appreciate if someone could give me link for kernels compatible with omnirom (apart from the default kernel it comes with). I do have link for Gustavo_s's files for S2: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12345
I used it for flashing omnirom. Now which all kernels would work with omnirom, if someone could provide me with links?
Bump!!!
Instead of naming kernels, I will suggest you use the best kernel compatible with all KitKat ROMs for the I9100 (OmniRom 4.4 as well). Try using Dorimanx Kernel v10 9.43v96 as some users reported that the kernel is stable for daily use and included several hardware customization. Definitely, Gustavo_s kernel is good and runs OmniRom real good, but Dorimanx kernel is a beast.

[Q] Stable and smooth ROM

Hi!
A friend has a Samsung Galaxy S III (I9300). He would like to change ROM, now he's on latest firmware (4.3 if I remember right).
He like Android Lollipop based ROMs, but if there are other ROMs (KitKat for example) that are best we'll install it.
I don't know how to flash a kernel, a recovery and a ROM on Samsung phone (I have a Sony).
So please can you tell a good ROM smooth and stable for this phone? And also can you tell me how to flash it (noob guide because I don't know Samsung phones).
We don't want to try all ROM (I'm impressed, there are very many ).
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.

Here you will learn everything about flashing a custom ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S III I9300.
To choose your ROM, you can first of all decide if you want a Samsung-based or an AOSP-based ROM.
Another thing not mandatory but positive is to see that people are still using a ROM, so look in the I9300 Android Development and Original Development forums for active [ROM] threads.
Once you’ve chosen the one you want, be sure to read its thread carefully before flashing it.
Hope it helped!
I recommended this KitKat ROMs (stable,fast,smooth) (TOP for me)
Blekota Note 4 lite v4
Blekota S5 v11
QS-i9300 kitkat NJ1
Back to n00t v9.

[Q] I cluess and don't know which custom rom to pick

(subject meant to be: I am clueless and....)
Hello there folks.
I checked some of the custom-roms here for a samsung galaxy s 3.
(Installed a C.M on moto g.... got it to 4.4 and then upgraded to 5.x and hardbricked it life is funny )
Can anyone tell me how to choose a Rom ? (there is a sheer number of roms to choose from)
They all seem nice I know that some come with KitKat and some come with 5.x.
Any recommendations for a stable Rom ?
Any recommendation for a Rom with a new OS (5.x) ? (even a less stable one )
And is it okay if I follow the instructions for installing a Rom from the official site of C.M ?
Any tips on how to backup ?
Here are the list of roms I found so far (there way too many)(open to new suggestions)
NamelessROM 2.1
RESURRECTION REMIX 5.4.8[CM12.1][OPTIMIZED]
JustArchi CyanogenMod 12.1 for i9300
Blekota Note 4 Lite ROM for Galaxy S3 (I9300)
Archidroid 2
temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM12.1 BUILDS
Thanks for answers and have a good day.
