Install Gingerbread Based Custom ROM On Samsung Galaxy S 2 I9100
The ROM is based on the XWKE2 firmware and is in a .tar format, meaning it will have to flashed via ODIN. Now we really hoped we had more details on this ROM, but apart from the fact that it’s rooted, we have no further details as of yet. The reason being, that the developer has not tested it himself, but instead XDA-Developers forum member 12aon tested it on his SGS II and confirmed it to be working fine.
So if you still want to take this ROM for a test drive on your Galaxy S II, read on!
