The first custom ROM released for the Samsung Galaxy S II, version  XWKE2, comes with the stock kernel, and might not seem to impressive  for some.
“This ROM is XWKE2, it's rooted, and it has the stock  kernel. Unless you are developing or need something else, this kernel  will do you fine, as the underlying ROM is rooted,” pulser_g2, the XDA  Developers forum member who released the ROM notes. 
The ROM has  all of the Samsung  and stock applications resigned with a new key-set, which makes it  easier to bring future modifications to the software.
“Villain  Tweaks was a project of mine to 'test the water' for modifying the apps  in the SGS 2 ROMs. I hit issues I couldn't get around, since the  pre-installed apps were signed by Samsung,” the user continues. 
“This  means that I can now edit the apps on the phone to apply all sorts of  tweaks and “hacks,” like the ones I've done so far, but with greater  scope as to which files can be modified.
“For example, I've got a  messaging app here (Mms.apk), which should let you send 10 SMS messages  together without converting it to an MMS, and allow 200 recipients of  an SMS, rather than ten.”
