Specifically to Stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 leak 1, creating a thread to have clear perspective without muddling up things for installing,usage & any other miscellaneous aspects to include.
1) As per Playstore BMM shows ver 0.3.4 dtd. 11th Feb
2) Archive XDA based download ver for JB which OP himself has said is closed exists here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005187
in this thread last post dtd. 15th Feb he has specified that BMM is now not only for Razr & that in next update he is also adding support specifically for Atrix 2. Can anyone point me towards the Atrix 2 BMM thread specifically & is it a good idea to use XDA based archive or the playstore version?
3) In this link there is a detailed explanation for installing ICS based ROM's using BMM, can this be used as an guide for JB as well especially for BMM noobs like me??
I am currently on JB 4.1.2 leak 1 with init.d support using Ryu's init.d apk, no OC & currently using Atrix 2 Bootstrap by Nitro. I do understand beforehand that I need to remove SU permission for the current custom CWMR & then uninstall & reboot & then install BMM. Are there any other additional precautions that I need to take before installing & using BMM (I do have a current working nandroid backup using CWMR using A2 bootstrap tool) tutorial link is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792955

The third post is a FAQ section. It may not answer all of your questions, but it should still be helpful.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
Thanks for responding Badwolf & I also had subscribed to that thread as well besides the JB link & how to use BMM link for installing ROM's which I posted below and since it was another ICS based thing I did not post it here & I just skimmed the surface of all these three threads.
So as Whirleyes himself stated he is releasing another update with support for Atrix 2 specifically (this was over a month ago) & this is what I was scouring all over for.
Ideally I want to be in the following situation :
1) Run stock JB 4.1.2 leak 1 as primary system
2) For 4 other optional roms run as :
a) ICS stock (now that we have been converted from the MB865 to ME865 HK due to JB while flashing stock ICS using Psyducks thread do we need to then flash a HK firmware based ICS rather than our earlier Searet ICS version?)
b) CM 10.x
c) Any of MIUI,Numa,PA etc
d) Any of the Chinese JB specific 4 ROM's
I wish someone can quickly guide me how to achieve above scenario using current BMM either archive or playstore version & all other prerequisites and precautions I need to take. I hate to RSD fxz then restore nandroid as I don't have a fallback phone.
BMM is pretty intimidating for this app specific noobs & I could dive headlong in but prefer to do a informed & safe plunge & hence the JB 4.1.2 leak 1 specific question in co-relation to Atrix 2 specific supported BMM.
If you make a nandroid of your JB leak, then flash an ICS based ROM, install the new BMM, flash you preferred ROM(s) on different partition(s), then you could just restore the nandroid of your JB leak to the first system, that should work, no? There's only one way to find out is what I always say.lol .....Seriously, as long as you have the proper FXZ and a nandroid you should be pretty safe. Flashing an FXZ isn't that bad, I did it 3 times yesterday while testing some stuff I've been playing around with. I admit I have 3 backup phones (my Atrix 2 being one of them) and it does alleviate some of the fear of bricking, but as a result I have found that following directions and having the proper FXZ has the same alleviating effect. That being said, have you posted your question in the thread you mentioned where Whirleys said he was going to start supporting the A2? That would seem like the proper place to ask, as he would probably be best suited to answer you queries.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
I wanted to start on a clean slate & when I read that Whirleyes has himself stated that in the next update he is specifically supporting Atrix 2 I said what better than that & he had himself specified that people stop posting to that thread any further & I really opine that now that we are on JB 4.1.2 since Feb onwards it's better to take things forward that point forwards & that is what I meant by keeping things in perspective & not muddling up with things related to ICS, other region firmwares etc etc. I also felt it'd help a lot of users since anything related to BMM for Atrix 2 on stock JB 4.1.2 can be summarized here in this thread rather than have it strewn all over the boards. I did brief Whirleyes to give a look in to this thread and chip in if he has anything to say now that he has indicated support specifically for Atrix 2.
I also created stock JB 4.1.2 - CWMR on every boot as well as buildprop threads with the same intent. Hope it picks up and helps lesser mortals like us

Are there any ROM's available thru rom manager for the Infuse 4G

No, and don't expect many to ever be there. ROM Manager's faulty CWM has caused so many problems that the recommended installation method for all ROMs here (and in fact currently the ONLY method) is a manual download followed by flashing with CWM, and it will likely stay that way. gtg465x is the only dev who made the mistake of putting his ROMs up on ROM Manager and it caused no end of stress and frustration for him due to all of the people who misflashed.
I'm a long time iphoner jailbreaker. I have read and read. I have probably been on ths forum more in the last 2 months than any other member and I'll stand behind that comment. Can you post a thread that explains this in detail lol. I'm old. I had 1.53 then went to 2.03 but I couldn't make a call so I'm back stock rooted.
Right now, if you look through the dev forum:
Three Froyo ROMs - Infused v1.x, Refuse, Bionix Infinity. All three are good solid high-quality ROMs. These all have HDMI support and solid data performance on AT&T.
One complete Gingerbread ROM - Infused v2.x - As you may be able to tell, since this is based on a Canadian firmware release it has... issues in terms of data performance on AT&T. It's been tough to find a good configuration that works in all AT&T areas - things that fix the situation for some users completely break others. I'm seriously beginning to think that until AT&T releases Gingerbread we should go with the original RIL and APN combo - they didn't achieve "awesome" performance for anyone but they also didn't achieve "broken" performance for anyone.
There is also the brand new Hellraiser package, which lets you flash i9000 ROMs. There are a few known issues (the first call you make or receive after installation has no audio but it works OK after that) but it's overall working fairly well.
Is there a thread that can explain this in detail.I'm back to 1.53 but don't feel comfortable with the procedure. I just want to learn. Not trying to be a noob.

Most ROMs have installation instructions. I suggest you read most of the first posts of ROM release threads, then read up on rooting techniques (SuperOneClick is the most common), then google ClockworkMod, then google Android ADB.
So just as I was about to go through all the steps to install ICS firmware for the CM9 nightly (using the steps in the guide for ICS and ARHD), then I see that TMOUS is going to be to be pushing the official firmware OTA.
Does that have any implications such as there may be some differences so I should wait until that version is deciphered for flashing? Or something else I should take into account but don't see cause I'm newbish?
Right now im on 2.3.7 from CM7
I am under the impression its ok to ask newb question in this particular forum....if not sorry!
EDIT im seeing this posted up today [ROM] HTC TMOUS Stock ICS *RELEASE* 3.32.531.14 (Flashable | Untouched | Rooted)...should i follow the same instructions on ICS ARHD just using the above file or can i just install 4ext and then flash? lol maybe i should just wait till the dust settles on the events of today
Same question, I'm afraid of losing root and s-off as well, someone help us plz
Cm9 is AOSP based and might have some bugs. Official will have Sense. It's down to personal preference really. I personally use AOKP and love it
I know the difference one is sense and the other is aosp based. i guess my question is that since I have to upgrade my to ICS firmware to flash CM9 should I be using the guide and links to do so on the ARHD ICS post or follow a different method, or wait a couple of days since the firmware is gonna be updated.
now that i think about it i bet someone will write a guide specifically for CM9 so i should just be quiet and patient.
Update: As much as i want to flash cm9 asap i think I am going to take it slow and start with upgrading from cwm to 4ext before i get ahead of myself. upon review i see my post belongs in the help section of the QA and not as its own post so sorry for the clutter.
last question...i loved DOS why is adb so scary to me jk
So, since I'm already a seasoned reader of the forums and a member of the Samsung Galaxy Ace forums right here in XDA, I bought myself a SGT2 7.0: it's great. Mine's the P3110 (Wifi only) and it came with 4.0.3. Now, I'd like to root it and mod it as I see fit but I don't see much information on the current status of things. I dug around the CM Forums and there's no SGT2 7.0 dedicated forums over there. Here I see guides on rooting and the like, but no one talks about the stable releases and/or nightlies of CM9 and CM10. So, to sum it up, here are my questions:
Is it safe to root and mod the SGT2 to CM9?
Where's the buglist of the latest stable release of CM9 for the SGT2?
Can you see a better battery life on CM9 compared with stock?
Should I download the latest OTA on my SGT2?
Now, I wouldn't have asked these questions if I see them answered here or any other forums, so that's that. Thanks in advance for any information you might offer.
As a seasoned reader, you created a question thread in general?
Please keep all question/help threads in Q&A only. Thank you.

Yes, it is. You can root using CF-Auto-Root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957160) or other methods that can be found in the same section. I think CF-Auto-Root is the simplest of all. Note that you don't need to root your tab if you intend to flash CM9 (or CM10 which is also available), just follow the instructions in the dedicated thread.

There's basically none, except the official keyboard dock is not working (although it works in AOKP). You're not concerned by IR-Blaster issue since you have a p3110.

I'd say the battery life is similar. Do not expect anything battery-wise. However, you'll be able to notice improvements in performance.
AlterJack said:

If you intend to stay with stock firmware, yes. The 4.0.4 is much more fluid than 4.0.3, and p3110 has also an official 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) update.
The only drawback of JB (in stock and CM10) is the loss of the Tablet UI, replaced by Phablet UI. However, you can restore Tablet UI on CM10 by using a patch, or natively in AOKP or Paranoid Android. I greatly encourage you to go through a few threads in the development section, to get a better sense of all of this. Do not hesitate though if you feel lost or puzzled.
Thank you very much for your fast responses. Yeah, @PeartFan40, I guess I embarrased myself, haha!
@Einril, it's not that I don't like stock, it's just the bloatware that Samsung installs that makes me go all kinds of green but I'd like to keep my options open if something ever happens to my tablet I can use my guarantee, you know? I read about the Triangle Away app, so I'm good in that area, but just a tiny question: is it mandatory to have it or can I live with that triangle? Also, could I install the official stock firmware later down the road if I'd like? Right now I'm downloading the latest update for my tablet so I can save an image with CWM for safekeeping.
And just for kicks, what's new in CM9 for tablets? I'll google myself what's Phablet UI, don't worry
Thanks again!
What Triangle Away does is that it resets your custom binary counter, which is incremented each time you flash a custom recovery. Flashing a custom recovery on the Galaxy Tab 2 won't show up a triangle at boot, so you can live without using Triangle Away. However, it is necessary to reset it before sending the tab for guarantee.
You can always flash official ROMs via Odin. You can look at http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P3110&pcode=0&os=1&type=3 to find the latest firmware for your country.
What's new in CM9 ? Compared to stock? Basically a lot of customization tools, performance tools, and a more "pure-Google" experience. But it's quite complicated to list all the differences. The best way is to try it yourself

I already installed CM9. It was complicated at first because I had some trouble with ODIN (it seems the button Auto-reset shouldn't be marked) when I installed the CWMRecovery. Now I've downloaded ROM Manager and I'm thinking if I should install the Recovery the app offers. What do you think?
I also was tinkering with the system options and the kernel doesn't have a lot of governors. Any tips on the matter?
Hello everybody,
I'm writing here because I don't know anything about samsung devices, I personally use and flash an old HD2, but a friend asked me a favour and here I am. I know there is the wiki and the search function and I'm using them so I have just a few questions. here are the phone details:
SGH-T959v
baseband T959VUVKJ6
kernel 2.6.35.7-cl694130
buil gingerbread vuvjj6
My goal is to unroot + install CWM + custom rom
1.the phone is currently unrooted with stock rom I believe. Is it possible to backup all apps+app data without root and then restore them after rooting?
2. In the android development section I see mostly GB ROMs and I was wondering if there are fully functional JB or ICS roms for this device.
Thank you very much
First or second link in my signature. Stick to GB or ICS. GB has all functionality and ICS has most. Read the threads to determine. Use Titanium Backup to backup apps. Every question you have has been likely asked and answered including the ones in this post. Use search.

Hello everyone,
My dad has Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3113, wifi only) and I would like to update it for him to the latest rooted stock (or stock-like) ROM.
So far I have found the MicroDelta rom that is pretty close to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405410) and I like the description of it a lot, but there's something wrong with the download links, so I couldn't try it (says "Invalid Attachment specified..."). I also don't have enough posts to comment on that thread to notify that download links don't work. I've been a user of xda for a while, but hate to just go spamming the forums to get the 10 posts count, so I don't have enough to comment in dev. I only say something if I have something to say, you know...
I also tried to search for other "stock rooted 4.2.2 Tab 2 7.0" roms, but couldn't find anything closer/better than the MicroDelta rom.
Therefore, if someone would be so kind to help me in these 2 ways I'd be very thankful:
1) Notify/PM the maker of MicroDelta rom (Tsjoklat) and say that download links don't work (since I can neither post there, nor PM him).
or
2) Tell me if there's some other stock rooted 4.2.2 rom for P3113 thread available that I couldn't find.

Thank you, Mohdsultan. I'll go try the Sungsonic rom.
I've installed sungsonic v7 now. I actually remember trying this rom some times ago now. It's pretty cool, but I couldn't figure out how to remove the cellphone related stuff. My dad's device is P3113, that is wifi only and no celluar. I remember now there were some patches to remove celluar stuff, but there are 478 pages in the Sungsonic's thread, which is unrealistic to read in short amount of time. Mohdsultan, can you pin-point me to the thread containing the latest instruction to remove cellphone-related stuff from the Sungsonic rom?
Alright, for those interested, here's the link for the latest phone-related stuff remover for Sungsonic v7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49145850
This rom, however, is missing the default touchwiz weather widget that my dad needs. I've read though and it's not that easy to add the widget back. Adi (the rom dev) promised to make some patch for this sometimes later, but as of now I don't think this rom will suite my dad's needs. I'd install it for myself maybe, but not for my dad's tab. He just needs stock + root (for ad block) and that's it. So the quest is not over: still looking for the stock rooted 4.2.2 rom.
The problem is solved now. Links to download for the MicroDelta server is in post #323 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51171998&postcount=323 )
