Yes, u can flash a diff country ROM as long as its meant for SGSII I9100 ma8:)

AFAIK the Roll outs by samsung for SGSII I9100 are JB 4.1.2 not 4.2.1,correct me if i am wrong:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrinivas13Parthasarathy:
ya u re rite..sorry my bad..

u mean i can take any ROM from any country except the carrier ones n flash em rite?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Yes , it should be an 'Unbranded' one thats all:)

see link below for the same ma8;)

Stock JB firmwares (4.1.2)

PS- Some times u have to change the CSC if u want future OTA updates from ur Region when on a diff region firmware:)

Also see to it that in Future u wont create 'Multiple' threads for each of ur issue, instead Edit the same thread/Title/Post.

But do i hav to root my fone before tht? Or just do the steps shown there is sufficient??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K0wneD:
no,u do not have to be rooted in order to flash a stock rom. You have to be rooted only when u r lookin to flash a custom rom:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrinivas13Parthasarathy:
Just use odin as its mentioned n thts it?

Am flashing the Spain ROM..does it have English Language??

What abt tht CSC changing app?

Does tht need any root or I just install tht after flashing ROM n use they way its said?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Yes, use Odin as instructed and you should do fine.

The spanish version and any other versions would definitely have English language.

The CSC Changer app requires root permissions to work. Just follow the instructions, that's all.

That thread is about the differences between releases.

We got battery threads all over the forums.

Take a couple of hours and read what other users experienced.

Battery drain is always settings related, If we'd had a magic app that would stop battery drain you'd know about it.

I came by this JB ROM with the latest built date.. is this ROM unbranded??

will i get future updates?? If yes what is the procedure to get that
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
That's Kazakhstan unbranded ROM. How do I know that? I went to the same place you went.

Notice that if the ROM listed has got "( )" right next to it, what's inside is the ROM's carrier brand (E.G Vodafone).

You'll get future updates yes, via OTA or kies; it depends.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrinivas13Parthasarathy:
All that's mentioned is the country name other than that no carrier name mentioned..

Rooting JB 4.1.2 is very easy.

Just search for 'Philz kernel'.

Download the XWLSK version (zip file).

Save it to ur external SD card.

Reboot to recovery.

Flash the zip file..

And ur rooted with the latest CWM recovery.

As for unskinned (or stock themed :D ) rom, try out:

NeatRom

Omega

Philz can be flashed via Odin also, but u need to download a .tar version of the kernel. :)

iDaftCE - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger ...

This is a project I startet just for fun. Probably without any use for people older than 5 yrs.

It's simply a clone of freeware iDaft, the Daft Punk console for iPhones, ready to be used with Windows (Embedded) CE touchscreen devices

with ARM processor and landscape orientation.

I know that also an iDaft version for Windows Mobile exists, but this doesn't show properly on landscape oriented units.

Screenshot:

Supported Resolutions:

800x480, 480x272

Dependencies:

COREDLL.DLL, TOOLHELP.DLL, cePlaySound.exe

Requirements:

Windows CE 5.0 / Windows Embedded CE 6.0, ARM processor, touchscreen

Installation/Usage:

1. Copy unzipped folder iDaftCE elsewhere onto a persistent storage device of your Windows (Embedded) CE device.

2. Run iDaftCELauncher.exe.

Remark:

Because this PlaySound utility didn't work for me, I compiled CE's PlaySound() API again and named it cePlaySound.
