I am on my phone but I am sure someone will provide u detailed answer

Move the files to ur phone

Boot into recovery from cwm app

Follow the instructions from the thread

Enjoy the awesome rom
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
The steps will be:

Place the two downloaded zips (ROM and GApps) in your internal SD card.

Turn off your device completely. Hold the power button, home button and volume UP bottom together until you see the Samsung logo. Once you see it, leave the power button, but hold the other two until you are in cwm recovery.

You have to use the volume buttons to go up or down and power menu to enter/start/confirm.

Go to backup and restore, and do a backup to internal SD card.

After it completes, go to flash zip from internal SD card, choose the ROM you downloaded (press power key), select yes.

After that completes, repeat process for GApps.

Finally, do a factory reset/data wipe. Also wipe cache and dalvik cache (from advanced option).

Then reboot system. Your phone will take slightly longer to boot as it builds up the cache and stuff, don't worry, it shouldnt take too long, but is longer than the usual boot time.
[Galaxy S II General] grown ups:
put the zip file anywhere or create the folder for them and you said After that completes, repeat process for GApp (repeat mean jut go to flash zip or go to back up and restore

after that all my data will be gone right so how i restore it
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Put the zip files anywhere in your SD card, just remember where you put them ;)

By repeat, I mean to flash the GApps zip.

Yes. Your data will be gone. But you backed it up with titanium backup. You can restore all your apps and their data with it too.
[Galaxy S II General] grown ups:
so after all that i have to install titanium again from market then what or i have to save all the backed file from Internal d to my pc
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
No, your backup that you initially did with titanium remains in your SD card when you do a data wipe, so does your media and docs.

You download titanium backup and simply restore your apps and their data.
[Galaxy S II General] grown ups:
i did what you said Go to backup and restore now when press power key there is only one hat with round arrow on my screen for 3 min is it ok tell me soon
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Are there a few lines saying that "backing up /data" or "backing up /system" or nothing except the picture?
[Galaxy S II General] grown ups:
nothing except the picture i am freaking out
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Relax. Just hit the back key. Reboot into system... try from the cwm app you had in your app drawer...
[Galaxy S II General] grown ups:

Flash the file you downloaded via Odin.

[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Aha! So that's what went wrong! You were supposed to download for CM10.

Anyways, now what you have to do is: http://goo.im/gapps download GApps of cyanogenmod9 and keep it on PC. First just flash cm9 resurrection edition. Keep the gapps file on your PC for now. First make sure your device boots properly into cm9.

ROMs and kernels affect battery life alot... Cm9 is very light on the battery and even lighter with an alternate kernel...

Regardless... Since your a new user i think you should have stayed on stock for a while... Until you properly read up and educated yourself about all this technical stuff...

I suggest you check out darkyrom or Alliance rom forums as they have Great tutorials with pictures there... That's where I learnt from 2 years back... But it's never a good idea to blindly leap into this nodding... You have to research in it yourself rather than just ask questions and have one person tell you what to do... If you get stuck at some point... And you will... Everyone does... You won't know what to do but ask a question here and wait for an answer...

Bottom line... Don't look for shortcuts when gambling with such an expensive phone...

latest recovery 6.0.1.0

but when i boot into recovery mod it says CWM 6.0.1.2 how to update this recovery from Rom manager,..

plz help..

and Also Plz help me how to Revert Kernel Back.
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Flash stock ROM to get original kernel... and don't worry about the updated version of cwm recovery... leave it as it is.... many developers recommend to stay away from ROM manager in the Galaxy s2...
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Guess you either made a typo or didn't realize, rom manager is saying 6.0.1.0 is the latest and to update... While your saying in Recovery it says your on 6.0.1.2... Which means your on a newer version than rom manager is telling you...

To "upgrade" would mean your going backwards to an older version....

Therefore stay put... No need to update anything... For now...

so how r ur gs2 treating u guyz? i was wondering about extended batterys .. r they availbale here?
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Wasalaam...

Tho the s2 is one of the best phones iv used, the one reason why I use Samsung is probably due to the incredible colors of the super amoled screens... To be more specific, the black blacks. You just can't get it on any other screen... And the iv jumped off the Samsung bandwagon before to a better resolution screen, I only came back due to those damn blacks... And I'm planning to abandon ship once again... And tho will jump to a massively better screen... The fear of not getting my black blacks is quite worrisome...

Apart from that... When it comes to extended batteries... They are available... Usually fakes tho... First copies or some generic china crap... I used to buy them but realized its smarter to buy a portable battery pack for a couple reasons...

Firstly, it doesn't make your phone look fugly and feel like a boulder in your pocket all the time like 2000mah batteries

Secondly, an expandable battery is always device specific... You change your phone, the battery is useless... Portable battery packs are universal thanks to the usb output.

Thirdly and from my experiences its just a better buy because your paying about twice the price of a extended battery, but probably getting 3 times the capacity, not to mention I always felt the battery packs do a better job at holding power than the extended battery...

Hope that helps...
