Rachy your download is corrupted
Try download again
Flash then follow by root
Backup is your own decision same as do you drive with belt on or not. Think safety not because you worried being fine by police

I use default . Those who like personalised lockscreen, I'd say Widget Locker is the better one. But I don't like it - still prefer a simple default one

Got this from another thread - newbies to roms, flashing, rooting - this is for you

TB is a 3rd party app - after hard reset you will lose it. Just reinstall the app and launch it. Your backups are saved in the SD card

There is no 3rd party recovery solutions yet. What we have now is the stock recovery which just shows :

-reboot system
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition

So far import in only need pay rm100 for sirim permit and no other duties.
Get from handtec as is proven reliability
other sources just hope for the best

SImple decision - if you can wait and want to save money - wait for local telco release
If you don't want to wait and the desire is killing you, buy it online or from garage sales sellers. Just ask yourself whether the premium price is worth being an early user

Guys - is a matter of perception that exynos is better than tegra or vice versa. The performance of the phone is just not based on the processor alone. I don't think you will lose anything much with Tegra
Unless you are such a high power user that your mental faculties can feel the difference of miliseconds in performance ??? - than you must be X Man calibre
It is the same perception people has over Proton. I bought my first proton in 1986 , ie the very first model and I used it for 6 years - the car was very good and I have absolutely no issues ; just spend on normal servicing and aircond was still top notch condition. In the 4 years period my other card , a Honda Accord 2000 cc I spend close to RM 3000 to replace some of its engine parts which failed
I than upgraded the Proton to the 2.0 Perdana and similarly used it for 8 years. Same period I replace the Accord with a new Accord and a 2.4 litre Camry over a 5 year period. I spend more money maintaining these 2 cars versus the Perdana. Than I sold the Perdana for a Cefiro 2.0 and I used it for 18 years ( longest I ever kept a car ) and in the 18 year period I have change several models of Accord and Camry as replacement. Yet the newer Camry/Accord can never match the 18 year old Cefiro in power, roadholding, stability and sense of safety. I always take my Cefiro for long journeys more than 10 hours on the road and not the newer Camry or Accord.
However in the market, people always rate the Accord higher which to me is just wrong; is again a matter of perception

That is cheap only RM 1887 after conversion

Just recieved my ARGOS SGP leather case from Korea : it cost me US$ 43 delivered. Delivery took 7 days by air parcel. I purchased it from :

Extremely happy - very nice soft feel genuine leather. Fits the SGS II perfectly. Overall it looks first class. See pics below

This is never ending ; all our gadgets will always be out of date within 6 months.

Just recieved tweet from hardwarezone.sg : The SGS II ( 16 GB) will be available in Singapore on June 2011 at S$ 998 without contract, ie about RM 2440 - pricey vs rumours in Msia

The stock kernel is just to remove the initial splash screen yellow triangle. Since I plan to continually flash newer firmwares, I just leave it as it is.

The chap who reply him is he from Samsung Msia or just another "friend" at the page

His video remind me of similar issue in the WM HTC HD2 - but his SGS II is more serious. This pinkish tint is in most phones , only how severe it is. Some you might not even noticed it unless you are told to look for it, than you could see it. I have this issue in several of my past HTC, recent Xperia Arc too bit is very minor. Anyway I did a lowlight indoor video check on mine - yes there but very very slight tint and small area about 1-2 mm ; actually not noticeable if you don't look for it
The video shown is definitely a camera hardware problem as is very serious and the pink tint coverage is so much

Pocketnow.com comparison on performance between LG Optimus 2X and SGS II

This is a dual-core face off. Both the LG Optimus 2x and the Samsung Galaxy S II pack dual core processors, but which is faster? In this video we do a full suite of benchmark tests including Quadrant, Smartbench 2011, and Linpack Pro, plus we do gaming tests, app launch speed tests, and a browser speed test to wrap it all up.

Great news. Thanks for the headsup. Finally a clockworkmod recovery is now available

Quote : This rooted kernel is for the "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root takes the kernel from an original Samsung firmware, and just adds root, busybox, and ClockWorkMod (CWM3) recovery
THIS IS NOT A ROM - it is only a modified kernel. You need to have the relevant firmware already on your device. You do NOT need to wipe anything for this patch. You DO need to read the instructions. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST!

No. No. No.
I have read this yesterday, and the first thing that came to me was just " nitpicking" - the writer just need to fulfill his writing responsibility and find something negative to write about . Actually if you read what he has written, he has admitted to this. Let's face it, there is NO perfect 10/10 product - if there is , it is not invented yet or if it is available - it will be so expensive most of us cannot afford to buy - it will be the Lamborghini-Rolls Royce of smartphones

Added on May 31, 2011, 10:58 amThere are tons of bureaucracy/paperwork and red tapes just to get an electronic product with wireless features to be officially released to the market. The importer has to deal with safety regulations, Sirim testing and certifications, information and personal secrecy concerns etc , complaince with telecommunications act etc As with most imported stuffs, these are not done on samples but on actual imports which a sampling will be taken from it. Many Ministries are involved. If these were in , be prepared to wait a month before the final OK is stamped for official release
