hey guys, for those who have root through Chainfire's method, pls help me out with these questions:

must I keep his kernel or can I flash a stock kernel over it? Will I lose the features if a stock one is flashed?

just placed my order with vodafone..

just wondering can i set page 4 as default homescreen by root like SGS?

You need to be rooted. Using root explorer, navigate to /system/default.prop

Add in this line
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3

*note: the value after defaultscreen has to be smaller by 1 for whichever page you wanna set as default.

For those who choose not to use a Screen Protector, this might be a good product to use. According to a few reviews i've seen, it gets rid of oil and smudges easily and will give a coating that prevents fingerprints and repels dust (because of the anti-static properties). Thinking of getting it but need to get it from ebay.

So far great for me, not a single scratch after 3 weeks of use. Even accidently hit it with my car key once but fortunately no scratches.

I have been using it already for 1.5 months - it never lags, never hang, never freeze , no auto shutdown, no auto reboot. I am not exaggerating - is a fact. I must say this is close to the perfect phone I have ever use.  Tweaking it further with different roms, using Tegrak voltage controls - battery life has improved. I'd say it is getting better every day

Some users faced issues because I think they have been installing a lot of unnecessary stuffs . I always believe don't flood your phone with junk apps you never want to use. In any category of apps - choose one or two  that serves you well, example battery life indicator : i know some guys install 4-5 types - what is the purpose ?? One is good enough if it shows you the temperature and voltage. Users will face lag too if they resort to install apps from blackmarket which is notorious being Trojan carriers - it is common knowledge some of the apps from blackmarket causes auto reboot, hanging issues

Some golden rules I always practiced :

1. Factory reset phone the first time you get it before installing any 3rd party apps
2. Regularly ( I do it once a week) - go to recovery mode and clear cache partition and dalvik cache - this si analogous to cleaning up your house. Data will still remain intact
3. At least once a week, use the phone from fully charge till empty and charge it back full

until now i never really understood what it does. Is it something like defragmenting our hard disk?

Screw Samsung default messaging app. Go download "Go SMS Pro" so many beautiful theme for it

Although Go SMS has more features, the default messaging app is much faster. It just feels snappier.

Ah, nice recommendations. Actually I'm quite confused with Yobao power battery everyone here talk about. Is it an extra battery pack then can be used when one depleted or is it another battery all together with more juice in it..?

its just a device that looks like a small brick which charges just like your wall charger when you connect to it. (Approx. 1% every 2minutes.)
