[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Kingspp:
Thread to guide beta testers

Nowadays a lot of development is going on in the I9100g sub form... Just for the namesake its a sub-forum. Its a highly active sub-forum! [Note for the Moderators]

Since the release of CM9 many roms are being produced using cm9 as a base. Even kernels are being developed. So beta testers are highly needed to do justice to various different roms.

Everyone can test the beta versions. But don't just pm the developer for the beta link. Because the rom/kernel is still in a beta phase, so it might brick your phone!!!(From my own experience) Beware testing a rom/kernel is not a child's play... Risk is involved... And remember, only because of these testers major problems are being solved!!

So here's what to do and what to have if you want to be a beta tester. Please do contribute to the forum.. Testing is the least one can do.

Things required: (Basic)

1.Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100'G'

2.USB Jig for I9100G (Jig for I9100 also works)

3.USB OTG Cable

4.Some Basic Knowledge about cwm recovery, odin mode etc...

5.A nandroid backup of your current working rom.

6.Titanium Backup of the important apps downloaded.

7.Odin 3.85 (PC Software)

8.Root Explorer

9.Mobile odin pro / K tool

10.ES File Explorer/ Root Explorer

11.Logcat

Instructions:

These are the instructions that must be followed before you test a rom/kernel

* Never ever forget to take a backup of your current stable rom.

* Take a titanium backup as its easier to load apps once you are in the custom rom.

* Working Clockworkmod Recovery.

* And test the rom properly. Your job is to find loop holes in the rom/kernel

* If at all error is to be found, please report the developer with adequate logs!!

This is not just any other thread... For users like us its nothing. But i have seen many users complaining, shouting at the developers as their android got bricked. Really its so funny to see their frustration. as the devs would have mentiond that they are not responsible for any damages, and its clearly written " Flash this at your own risk " Really none try to understand the amount of hardwork and time spent in building a rom or porting the rom.

So please read this thread before trying a new rom/kernel or as a tester. Hope this thread might save some devices or their frustration. Remember guys its highly rare that a software can corrupt hardware. Most of the times these errors can be rectified by reflashing the software. USB jig and nandroid are always helpful and handy at times!!!!!
