haha, isn't the word "stock" and "custom" kinda obvious?

no need root, just need 2e recovery

Hehe, ts needs to update first post quickly Anyway, welcome to the most active android thread in lowyat forum and your purchase of an amazing samsung galaxy s!

Now, for some explanation;

2e recovery is a version of recovery mode found in eclair. It allows unsigned clockworkmod file to be flashed. This is the recovery that you needed.

3e recovery is found in official froyo. It only allows signed packages/files, thus all custom roms, kernels, themes, etc cannot be flashed.

Please ask if there are still things you don't understand. Don't worry because there are alot of nice sifus to help you

its a common USB to micro-usb cable.. same as blackberries. any computer/handphone accessory shop should have it. the jawbone icon and even the Nokia N-series (N82 in my case) uses the same cable.

i carry only 1 cable for my n82, jawbone icon and my SGS 

Anyone has the spec for SGS2? It's coming out in 13th of this month

cf-root is not a kernel. you can flash directly using the darky configurator and skip kernel installation

That is weird. I don't have such problem with my Darky 9.2.

Maybe you can give a bit more details:

Did you flash via CWM or Odin?

Give example of the foreign language apps you are refering to?

Yes, darkky install it as "system" apps, so uninstall it using titanium backup or SGS tools

go market, download autokiller. Set to strict or aggresive

i remember the app "spare part" has an option to set the autokiller to aggressive too... no need for another app if u have that preinstalled with the custom ROM

spb mobile keep asking to activate when i press the back button..anyone experience this?

edit : guys what the best launchers that you guys used...
