i m quite confuse here.
last time when i flash SGS,
1. 1 file no need to use pit
2. 3 file use pit with tick re-partition
is it no need to do so for SGS 2?
The pit file basically tells Odin how to divide the partitions (for formating) and also where certain components go when flashing them individually.
For example .pit file tells Odin to program modem.bin file to MODEM "partition", zImage to KERNEL "partition", etc.
One very important piece of advise. If you guys wish to flash any rom from www.samfirmware.com ALWAYS remeber to download and tick the PIT file in Odin. Many users has gone straight to flash ignoring it and end up bricking their phone. Roms at samfirmware are basically copies of the official rom - and when we flash such roms from there, your phone will be wipe clean. When you select pit, automatically repartition is selected. I always advise new users, flash rom from samfirmware.com only if you know what you are doing
Rom cooks when they develop their roms, how the internal memory is to be partition is already build in , so normally you need not select PIT or repartition
Most rom cooks when they need you to flash through odin , will package it as a tar file. So you just select this tar file as PDA file in Odin. Once a while you will come across some rom cooks who will package their rom as a zip file ( extracted it shows 3 files - PDA, Phone, CSC) which need to flash through odin. Normally for such files - you need to select at least the PDA file to flash; the phone and CSC file is optional. But no harm selecting it too if you want to try his proposed combination. I have also said before you can flash a rom as a rojak combo - use PDA from one cook, use the phone and csc from another . Again, if you are a newbie - be safe, stay away from trying your combo unless you really understand the features behind each of them

the boot animation takes so long dude! i had to remove just now im trying again now. see how its goes.
That is simply because you failed to follow the first golden rule of flashing : ALWAYS always clear your cache partition, dalvik cache before flashing any new rom, even just a simple update zip. Many rom cooks assume you know this basic rule, just like you put on your clothes when you wish to go out and not go out naked
