How to install Custom ROM for your Galaxy S2 I9100G

  3. Next, you'll need to do a full data wipe of your phone by selecting ''wipe data/factory reset'' and ''wipe cache partition'' and then go to ''advanced options in CWM Recovery'' from there select ''wipe Dalvik Cache''.
  4. In the main menu, select ''install zip from SD card'', then choose ''CyanogenMod 10.1 for Galaxy S2 I9100G'' that you had downloaded and moved to your SD card. Then choose yes to confirm. It will take about 3 to 5 minutes to install the ROM so wait until it is done.
  5. Do the steps described again one more time but this time choose ''Google Apps'' instead of ROM zip file (called Custom ROM for Galaxy s2 I1900G).
  6. Finally, go back to your main menu and choose ''reboot system'', which will take about 10 to 15 minutes (this is why you should charge your phone beforehand). During this time, it will also initialize all the services and apps because this is the first time you have started the phone after having installed CyanogenMod 10.1 for Galaxy S2 I9100G. Wait until the process is complete, don't rush it or press any other buttons.
