Hello everyone,
This tutorial Includes Rooting your Phone And install Cyanogen in GTI9100
Personally , I just don't like the TouchWiz UI . Its little bit heavy. That's why most android phones gets slow quickly . I just used both Stock Rom (GingerBread) and Custom Rom (Lollipop) for Galaxy S2 , So in my opinion Cyanogen is awesome. It is much faster than the stock Rom.
Actually Cyanogen has stopped their services and moved to Lineage OS . But that doesn't matter . Cyanogen Roms are still out there . The only problem is that you won't get any more official updates from Cyanogen .
This method is also same for CM11, CM12, and CM12.1 custom ROMs, But you need necessary Files.
So its all for Introduction! Let's begin!
Note : Please Do this at your own risk. I am not responsible if anything goes wrong. I am pretty sure nothing goes wrong , if you do everything correctly. If any problem occurs please let me know.
