Hello,

I’ve done reading (the more I read, the more I become blur), and I still have some question\doubt on this ‘rooting/flashing ROM’ thingy.
1. My SGS2 (PDA = I9100XWKF1, Phone = I9100DXKF1, CSC = I9100OLBKE5) with Kernel version = 2.6.35.7-I9100WKF1-CL265340root@DELL106#2
2. If I do rooting, does it change my Kernel? What is the difference between secure and unsecure kernel?
3. Let say, I ‘m flashing to a new ROM/firmware, can I still have my app?
4. I just want to have stock ROM (KG1 or latest to be install). How on earth can I do this without messing my apps? 
5. Where can I get and how to recognize the stock ROM which is compatible with my PDA, Phone and especially CSC? (do flashing ROM messing the CSC?)

I hope someone can help me on this…really appreciate it!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

1. XWKF1 is stock rom, not that optimized though.
2. depending on which kernel you flash to root. there are various way to root without changing the stock kernel
3. get your phone rooted, install titanium backup and backup your apps. after flashing to new rom, root the new rom then restore your apps via titanium again
4. if you are flashing via odin, all apps will be wiped. backup first before you flash. some custom roms are non wipe version, but i think you better stick to stock rom
5. you can download stock rom from samfirmware.com. usually it comes with 3 files, code=pda, phone=modem, and CSC. PDA is refer to rom base, phone is refer to radio/modem (wifi, network signal and etc) and csc contain the supported languages.

please read instruction on how to flash the rom via odin first, understand it clearly before proceed.

just now morning flashed to villain 2.1, and updated the cfroot +modem.
5 mins ago dled the black android theme that is supposed to work on VR2.0, and i tot it works on VR2.1 as well.

installed it, and keep on rebooting. now have to remove battery and enter cw recovery and reflash VR2.1  mad.gif

VR2.0 = KG1, VR2.1 = KG2. both are different rom so how can you apply a theme based on KG1 to KG2? as a result you will get this kind of error. please read and understand before trying to flash a theme or even a mod of battery icon.

still have 29% battery after 2 day 17hour++ of moderate usage

yeah with data off. i guess if all of us dont turn on data, no push mail, no whatsapp or other IMs, it can easily last more than 2 days.
