Guys

Just need some input on 3rd party launchers.

I have tried LPP for quite a long time, and now considering to get a new laucnher to replace the default SGS2 launcher.

Any recommendation? ADW or GO Launcher....etc

i have adw but i didnt install because i like go launcher ex so much! rclxm9.gif
based on what i read la, adw has more options, u can customize the widget's icon text colour, rotate etc, have 2 separate wallpapers together and a lot other stuffs, very good and very complex.
or u can just use golauncher ex and make things simpler brows.gif
oh yea u shud try the regina(not vagina) launcher, it has some nice eye candies icon_idea.gif

not only for dual cores. any phones if used for long period of time will also turn hot.

not for sensation and blackberries..personal experience...if u say warm, ill admit.. but not hot to the ears!

QUOTE(Lazyboy @ Jun 25 2011, 11:30 PM)
In general, some of the commonly reported observations ( I dont want to say issue as it is subjective) are: 

1)  Yellow tint which seems to affect the majority of the SGS 2 globally, at least from the 1st batch or maybe some of the 2nd batch.

2) Overheating after some period of usage

3) Short battery life span

4) Pink dot in Camera
*
well clearly, sensation doesnt have that heating issue becoz im not tryin to be biased or a fanboy here..its simply becos ive been using the sensation for about 3 weeks now..and i was using blackberry before this and no heat issues as well..

clearly the sgs2 is hot according to all of you..and i dont think thats normal as why shud phones get extremely uncomfortably hot when making CALLS..defeats the purpose i wud say..

i guess ive got my answer then..damn u samsung!! why did u have to make it extremely thin!

The only reason i like using ADW because we can customize to slide our finger in the middle of screen and the notification bar is pulled down. SGS2 screen is big and my thumb cant reach the top notification bar. I like the feature

After browsing through the web there's like 4 target for me atm. Feel like buying all 'em but there's should be only one for the phone. Case-mate Barely There Cases, Case-mate Tough Cases, SGP Ultra Silke and SGP Ultra Capsule. Amaze at toughness of Tough Cases, attracted to Ultra Capsule sleek design. Hmm..decision, decision. Can anyone here share their experiences on any mentioned cases?

i can prove the Ultra Capsule quality is excellent becasue my phone just fall down on land.. tongue.gif

Which phones doesnt go hot after 1 hour of non stop using? It is totally normal to heat up after extensive use.

I personally find the degree of heat after 1 hour of video viewing is very similar to other 2 others smartphones I owned before (iphone, galaxy ace).

This hot issue is hype and overblown
i have used several androids and i must say the heat generated is just slightky more obvious as the phone is thinner than the rest
it will not burn your skin
i have listed earkier up the temperatures
if you have come over frim symbian n bb n wm you will find it warmer but i dont think this feature is killing off buyers

The overheat surely doesnt burn our skin or ear (when talking) but it makes me quite uncomfortable. Maybe i have to get used with it. Hopefully no hardware problem will occur

Morning, need some advice on the below.

I have flashed firmware in the following sequence:

1. On KF1 (this is SME MY official of course)
- Quadrant score : 32xx
- wake up from sleep : less than 1 second (almost instance)
- Pic shot at low light : yellowist circle at middle
- Battery usage sleep time : 12% drop since 6H ago - mainly OS

2. root using Supercurio kernel KDD
- Quadrant score : drop to 28xx
- wake up from sleep : did not observed
- Pic shot at low light : yellowist circle at middle
- Battery usage sleep time : not observed

3. flash firmware KF2 and unroot
- Quadrant score : improve to 31xx (lower than KF1)
- wake up from sleep : almost instant but "feel" faster
- Pic shot at low light : no more yellowist at middle, depends on light condition and shooting angle, picture has strong orange colour case.
- Battery usage sleep time : not observed

4. re-root using Supercurio (PDA/built KF2, Kernel KKD)
- Quadrant score : drop to 27xx (lower than result 2 above)
- wake up from sleep : delay by approx. 1.5 seconds
- Pic shot at low light : same as result 3 above
- Battey usage sleep time : 10% drop since 6H ago - slight improvement

Note my tests are casual (not very empirical) therefore subject to discrepancies.

However, I still can observed that using KF1, Android OS battery consumption (samsung bug?) is slightly higher than using KF2, but at expense of Quadrant score, and wake up from sleep time is noticably lag by 1 second at least. Can I say the lag is due to incompatible kernel used (supercurio)?

Camera issue - not a big issue with me but yellowish problem seem resolved using KF2.

Is the above sound logical?

Edit: I am still using stock ROM.

" One of your applications is a file browser called MyFiles. Open it and navigate to /sdcard/media. if you don't then have and audio folder: create it. Then inside that create another folder called notifications. put everything you want as tones in the folder. By either copying or moving them there. "
