Root Just got a Samsung Galaxy S2 wondering if I should root.

You should be able to install the ROM from cwm but if that doesnt work then flash a different kernel from Odin. Always make a backup before u wipe anything. If u install from cwm make sure the file u download is a zip, not a tar. And be sure to place it in the sd card. Backup, wipe, flash, reboot.

Alright I just have one last question. With this rom by befault the soft keys dont send vibrate feedback when you press them. How do you change that again?

Settings -> sound -> make sure haptic feedback is checked

Glad you are enjoying the ROM!

I am still on the fence as to weather or not I should because with my old evo I would need to restart every couple of days and clear delvic cache and cache partition because it would just start lagging real bad and battery life would drop down to nothing. Another thing in my experience with these roms is there is always something that doesnt work like with the evo after I rooted it one of the roms didnt have 4g which wasnt much of an issue because i dont have good coverage in my area. Then the second rom had trouble with the bluetooth. I just want a rom where everything works. I know this galaxy is MUCH faster than the evo so I dont really think the lagging after a couple days will be an issue but I am not sure. What do you guys think? Other than that I loved my experience with rooting. Another thing that is always a concern in the back of my mind is bricking my brand new phone but I know if you know what you are doing the chances of that are slim.

I'm running Calkulins as a daily driver with a 100% positive user experience. Very stable; everything I've tried works as expected, very smooth, improved battery life, no negatives to report whatsoever.

Ya I have heard allot of good things about that rom. Right now I am running the venom rom which is very nice. Cant seem to find any negatives with this one either. Well, if I had to name one it would be that it doesnt display the battery % when charging unless you go to the lock screen but that is very minor.
