Update Galaxy S2 I9100 to AOKP JB-MR1 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean ROM

Here’s a useful tutorial on how to install a custom ROM on your Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. We are going to use an instrument called AOKP JB-MR1 by the one responsible for its development.

Without its presence on your phone, the latter will remain in its limited form.

Requirements

To make this guide a success, we included – besides the obvious steps needed to install the update – these requirements: download GApps from this page (you must choose the file called gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip) and (the file is labelled aokp_i9100_jb-mr1_build-4.zip).

Also charge your smartphone and do all the other necessary actions we’ve tackled in past guides for other devices. Like backups, drivers installation so on.

Instructions

Now’s the start for a successful installation of the said tool on your Galaxy S2 I9100. Galaxy-S2-I9100
