guys,help me please..im confused whether to get this phone or galaxy ace...

big budget: galaxy s
lower budget: ace

IMO, if you want true android experience, you should go for high-end models. cut unneeded spending to save more money so that you can increase your budget.

if you move apps to sd, things like widgets won't work.

I've experienced it and I've warning about it before at V16 thread and I've ask to put the warning to 1st page. With Titanium Backup, restoring the system file (or data only) like contact and SMS/MMS from froyo to gingerbread ok, but restore from gingerbread to froyo will give u force closed. So, for contact and SMS/MMS, u need to backup by other way like using gmail etc.

BTW, wellcome back to Froyo.  rclxms.gif

never restore system app. IMO, backing them up using TB is very clumsy. best is sync them up with the cloud, e.g. google contacts.

i can answer that, so that the authorities can track and spy on every single person on this planet one day. even on FB, its a good tool to track and see what we are up to, for us we just think FB is a fun thing. but of course they use the whole terror reasoning as an excuse to track everyone but in reality, the authorities want to keep a check on all of us. this is all in tune with the ultimate goal of global governance which is currently taking place. google "New World Order" and judge for yourself. tell me who controls the way we think. of cos most people are just gonna call me a conspiracy theorist. all about perception i guess, only time will tell.

sorry for the of topic. but sifu kmrdeva positive reasoning does make sense as well, its good to be positive but not all the time  brows.gif

yeah SGS II is absolutely the best smartphone right now. but it can't be an audiophile device.
supercurio did a little analysis and he found out that Samsung uses Yamaha audio chip on SGS II, which doesn't perform quite as well as Wolfson WM8994 on its predecessor (SGS)

Very unfortunate for audiophiles sad.gif

Whats is the most smooth and less bug prone GB custom ROM now?

Im running darky9.4 now and been bugged by bug where sometimes I cant receive calls and sometimes I cant hear what the other ppl talk.

I was tempted to upgrade to darky 10.1 but heard there is still a lot bugs. Especially user reported bloodly lag in gallery...

Btw, how is CM7 now?It is stable to flash?
*
cm7&miui are not recommended. they are lag-less but are still under development.

I heard juwe's is stable.

Added on May 26, 2011, 9:49 pm1. For those following cm7 dev thread. a repository of system fonts (300 of them!): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801160

edify version for cm7/miui: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...&postcount=1006

other roms, use the normal zip file.

2. you can also use font changer (root) from market. tried that and it also works
- download the app
- copy the .ttf font file into your sdcard and move it into /system/apps
- open the app and set fonts directory to /system/app
- select the app and reboot

user posted image
- I now use Gabriola.ttf
- launcher pro with custom dock background
- xperia arc cm7 theme

before this, I'm running Darky's 9.5 and it's fine to play mp4.
now, I'm running Juwe's 4.3.1 with DamianGTO kernel and it cant play mp4.
Is it comes from the kernel or rom's problem?
*
all samsung photoshop rom like darkyy, juwe, docs, etc should be able to play mp4 format. couldn't be kernel or rom problem unless the codec was removed/broken by the rom author. did you played the same mp4 file?

try searching the xda juwe thread if anyone else has the same problem.

Tweaky Rom is the only rom that gives me superb batt life. I've tried few GB roms before and still got batt drain but not with Tweaky!

at least it last for 1 day, unlike cm7 which lasted me 8 hours on heavy use

wanna ask that is it locked bootloader phone will not get any official update anymore?like froyo to gngerbread. only stuck at froyo cant update to gingerbread?
*
locked bootloader = can root but custom not possible
unlocked bootloader = can root and have custom rom

samsung's smartphone including our sgs and sgs II have no locked bootloader. locking bootloader is done by OEM (htc, samsung, motorola etc). If you root and install custom rom, you won't be able to get official update by official means (like kies) unless you flash back stock rom.

off topic but slightly related: htc was pressured to unlock bootloader in their future smartphone lineup. otherwise people will buy sgsII over htc sensation for cyanogenmod

boss, is it possible to restore to factory settings when the phone is on custom rom?

kinda needa restore the phone but i believe it's running of custom rom now, just gotten it yday 2nd hand  icon_question.gif  sweat.gif
*
wow, it's been a couple of days and you already run a custom rom? You are a true androidian!

Please describe what you mean by factory settings. If you mean going back to the original state of the phone from samsung, then the answer is yes. The original, or stock roms are available for download. They are available for download. Our rom is south east asia region (version DXJPE 2.2). Download link can be found in the first page. They are odin package. Once you flashed that, samsung repair centre would never knew you had rooted and install custom rom on your phone.

If factory reset, they only delete all downloaded apps. But your custom rom is still there.

Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 root@SE-S604 #1

build number - froyo.DXJPA

so it official stock rom n safe to just restore to factory settings from the phone itself?

Yes you can do factory reset. although DXJPA is not the latest, it is still an official rom.

Just flashed to Turbo Ginger.

After done, booting up. First impression, kena spammed with apps FC. I haven't even start the registration steps yet!!! doh.gif

EDIT: then it rebooted itself and forever kena boot-loop. doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif
*
- If flashing to a new rom always clear cache and clear dalvik cache. Format data apps if you get FC - can do in CWM recovery mode.
- If upgrading from the same rom, no need to do the above steps although wiping cache and dalvik cache won't do any harm at all. Just that first boot will be longer.
