Again thanks for the advice Mr. President,
Im running XWKE7 now, rooted. Now going to flash with Villian 1.4
after read through all the pages in XDA I think I should:
Flash to firmware XXKF2
Run factory data reset
Root with Cf-root (XXKF2 version)
Flash to Villian 1.4
Backup with Titanium backup
Anyone have successfully running Villian 1.4? Kindly advice.
This is what Villian says about his rom: paste here - note my highlights
VillainROM 1.4
The latest custom ROM from VillainROM for the SGS2 is VillainROM 1.4. It's based on XXKF2 firmware for Europe.
First of all, if you are upgrading from VillainROM 1.2 or above, just flash this from CF-Root version of CWM. I suggest a backup first. A wipe is not required, but if you have issues, is suggested. I updated without a wipe, and no issues here.
If you are installing from another ROM, or stock ROM, you need to be using the CF-Root kernel, as applicable for your current ROM. You can find CF-Root and instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103399
When using this ROM, I suggest the XWKF2 CF-Root kernel, from post 4 of Chainfire's thread.So, your steps : note my comments in bold
Flash to firmware XXKF2 :
NOT necessary as the rom comes with XXKF2Run factory data reset :
YES best to do it and from recovery do clear cache partition and at advanced: clear dalvik cacheRoot with Cf-root (XXKF2 version) :
Flash this first than only do above stepFlash to Villian 1.4
Backup with Titanium backup :
You should do this as FIRST step before even flashing new rom - read again Villian comments - his first 1-2 lines

Thanks Benny, and I'm able to do this without rooting right?
Your phone MUST be ROOTED in order to use Titanium Backup
