I know a lot of you have been asking for Galaxy S3 ROM on your Galaxy S2 i9100. Well, there’s a ROM for that. The Salman ICS ROM gives you powers of Galaxy S3 with a Touchwiz UX launcher, S-Voice, GS3 wallpapers, floating video player, and a whole lot more.
UPDATE, please see new version 4 here!!!
I won’t get into more details other than that this ROM runs pretty solid, give it a twirl and let me know if you’ve turned your Galaxy S2 into a Galaxy S3!
Download:
Download Salman ICS ROM
unzip EXTRACT ME, DO NOT FLASH.zip and copy the folder to your phone after installing ROM.

Don’t know how to install a ROM?
For all Galaxy S2 GT-i9100, please see Galaxy S2 FAQ here for all rooting, backup, install guides.
Has anyone tried it yet?
Yes ,, its very nice Rom but has a problem with Secuirty it has a laggy Problem every 10 times u put ur Pin or patteren it resets The Secuirty to silde :S and Paare Of Programs wont install Like ( Magic Piano “Smule” and some other Programs) … but it really Turns ur GS2 to a real GS3 Experiance .. Recommended
Yes. I installed this yesterday. I don’t use a PIN and therefore have not ran into any troubles as mentioned by Aboud. This is the smoothest most responsive ROM I have used so far. It is practically stock, no customization (that I have found yet) but it is extremely fast and smooth. Touchwiz is actually not bad in this one. I like the Samsung Apps so I am really enjoying this ROM.
Nice rom,but it has bug;( every time i use widget,or add something new on other screens,after some time massive crashes starting,anyway i hope it will be updated,touchwiz ux is the best
Downloading it now. i have dual boot now so will try it as 2nd rom and see. Now running paraniod
Hey there!
Is there anyway to get the Samsung galaxy s3 lockscreen??
Thanks!

Getting greedy – but does this rom work on the i777?
Idk I have a t989. Check xda to see if there’s a port cuz most roms from the i9100 work on the i777 since there very similar
Hi,..admin.When remix rom for i9100G can make?..official ics make battery drain very fast..so sad…
I like this rom
Thanks for response
works well.but can’t dual boot with siyah kernel. can’t use root functionality because doesn’t work with siyah kernel
Just install Siyah over the ROM: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/kernels/ICS/Siyah/Siyah-v3.2b8-CWM.zip
Hey max please help!! This a great Rom and I don’t wanna change it but the only problem is every time I callsomeone or there is an incoming call the system crashes!! Please help! I really want this rom!! Will running it on siyah kernal solve the problem??
try to reinstall d rom am sure it’ll sort it out.
I tried this rom! Its wonderful the only thing is whenever i end a call it hangs for about 8secs and there is a force close!! Is there any way to stop it Max??
I’ve installed it to my second rom
it is looking very very good
but I am not able to use titanium backup
it is saying it does not have root access
but I am using RR 2.4.1 without any problem
what to do please give me rooting option for this rom
thanks in advance
Nagendra Chary
oneyea same here. it’s because of ur kernel I think. if Iu
install it alone I think
I’ve dual boot in primary I’ve RR 2.4.1
and siyah kernel
Good rom. Main thing stopping it from being my daily drver is the phone ap as others have mentioned. I can use a rom where the phone crashes after each call. ; p. The name of contact displayed when on call is not properly aligned.
Loving this so far……Have tried a few ROMS in the past and this is my fav so far…..Only thing I couldnt get to install was S Voice.apk -tries to install but comes up with application not installed…
Other than that ….brilliant 🙂
install airdroid and remove voice talk (internal system app) featuring same as S-voice then after that install it,it worked for me 🙂
Thanks Arnav….got it installed but keeps saying network error (like in the video above)
never used airdroid before ….Brilliant—cheers
Googled it and got it working…
Had to edit the build.prop file….working fine now
Hi John ,
Can Pls explain the Way of doing the S-Voice thing pls
I have installed it. But it force closes every time there is an incoming call. There are other apps also where it is getting force closed. I had to go back to my stock ROM
So can the ROM do 3 photos per sec and 6 photos per sec on burst?
Need help here guys…
1) Installed Salman…..but after it loads, and I get the main screen, then every 2 seconds, keeps saying something like android.com process stopped….damn irritating….not sure why I’m getting this error. And I do not see any Settings…or it takes forever to load….but the andoid.com process or something like that keeps occuring every few seconds….any ideas???
2) Installed the Resur 2.4.1 (which I love) , it cannot find my internal HD so my computer cannot read it and neither can wireless pro app, so can’t transfer files. HELP!!!
can ANYONE help with these 2 things?
thanks in advance,
Dave
Hey Dave,
I’m no pro by any means but which kernel are you using…. i had bugs and was on CF kernel (cant quite remember) but i discovered the Siyah kernel has dual boot function… i flashed to this and have had no faults at all since doing so…I’m using Siyah 3.3.2 with RR 2.4.1 as primary ROM, downloading Salman right now to give a try…
I learned, in basic terms, that the Kernel is the “middle man” between the ROM and Hardware. i.e The rom/software asks the kernel to tell the hardware to play a sound/vibrate, or possibly in your case the SD card being there…..
Did you clear cache/wipe out data
love it so so much, thank you so so much
for Svoice, search for this one : GT-I9100_WanamLite.Hacked.SVoice.V1.3.zip, it work great for me :
Do you just flash it to the Rom ?!
Hi Sam,
Thanks for the email…I tried that too (Siyah kernel)….didn’t work.
It keeps giving me this error message when Salman ROM loads up:
“Unfortunately, Messager has stopped”
“Unfortunatley, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped”
“Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped”
“Unfortunaely, Contacts has stopped”
I have never had such problems before so am really confused why they are occuring.
Could someone please suggest how I can rectify this?
I’d appreciate some simple step by step instructions as I’m not as experienced as some of you are.
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
Do a fresh re-install.
Hi Max,
I tried a fresh re-install of Salman ROM (wiping Dalvik and cache etc).
Same deal.
I get the following errors once it loads AFTER the lockscreen
“Unfortunately, Messager has stopped”
“Unfortunatley, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped”
“Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped”
“Unfortunaely, Contacts has stopped”
And this error I get every 5 seconds or so:
“Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped”
And everything is SUPER SLOW….even when I press Settings etc…REALLY slow.
I’m really stumped…..the Res 2.4.1. works great and is really fast.
But I do want to try out this Salman Rom.
Any ideas on what could be causing the above error messages?
Any ideas on how to fix it? Already tried a fresh install.
If Anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
I’ve installed Salman as a second ROM and sort of liked it. Several problems though:
1. After using the phone as a phone (yes, really, I do that sometimes), the screen colors go completely haywire.
2. Apps requiring root permission do not function.
3. I can’t find a way to reboot without just shutting down.
I think I’ll wait until the next version comes out. I do prefer the Resurrection Remix ROM to this one so far.
1. that could just be your screen, it happened to my i9100.
2. just flash supersu zip files in cwm.
3. Battery pull.
Hey Max.
Love the site and the reviews.
Been running this Rom for a couple of days. As much as I like it, the battery just drains way too fast. With my Darky Stock ICS rom I get anywhere between 24-36hrs whereas Salman Rom managed 11hrs. I really love these new Roms (Resurrection Remix inc.) but the battery drain is always a killer.
Am I missing something with these? Surely most of you guys aren’t settling with 11-12 hrs battery life?
Thanks.
Yaa i agree with you the battery drains faster than before,is there anything we can do to overcome this battery problem?
Hello… I downloaded this from and it’s pretty wicked awesome. Buttttt… my notification won’t work
What happened? Can I fix this? How? So many questions. When there’s a message, it won’t tell me on the notification bar at the top… but when I pull it down, it’s there.. I’m like… whaatt??? So can It be fixed? Thank you.
had the same issue with dailer, used to freeze the phone after making every call..
then did a hard reset, wiped system cache n dalvik cache, flashed the phone again with SalmanROM, did all wipes again …
now the phone’s working great ..
I love this rom so much! It’s very stable, but the battery life is not so good 🙁
Hi zedo,
I need ur help. My S2 stop going into usb mode when i connect my s2 with cable. the msg in notification dont come. and i m unable to transfer data into my phone. kindly help me in this matter.
Thanks & Regards,
Nivi
This ROM is probably the best ever ……..! Works perfectly just like the S3 is meant to work. Great ROM……!!!

Can anyone help?
I am currently using the Res Remix 2.4.1. as Salman ROM is giving me MAJOR problems
Everything is working fine but for some reason the CALENDAR is not working and not syncing.
1) All my email and calendars are via google mail
2) Everything syncs fine like my emails etc, but not the calendar. (infact it doesn’t even show up on Calendar apps). I have to find the Calendar via the Search function of the phone…its not in my apps. I normally use Business Calendar Free for my calendar….but even that has ZERO calendars showing.
3) I’ve done the Apps, Calendar Data wipe, Gmail wipe, Calendar Storage wipe etc. but still not working
4) Tried gapps fixer, doesn’t work. Flashed Siyah kernel, didn’t work.
5) Wiped everything, reinstalled the Res 2.4.1. ROM still didn’t work.
6) Deleted ALL my Gmail accounts and added it again, but same issue….everything syncs EXCEPT the calendar.
7) When I go to Calendar or Business Calendar Free, under the Calendar section, NO CALENDARS show up.
8) Btw, there’s nothing wrong with the Gmail syncing itself, as everything syncs perfectly on my desktop computer (including all the calendar entries etc)….so its a problem with the phone settings etc.
I really don’t want to do a factory reset and then have to root etc all over again, so I really hope one of you can help.
I’ve spent over 6 hours on XDA forums, and google etc. and am at my wits end!!!
Can anyone help me PLEASE?
Thanks,
Dave.
