True.



On the flipside, VRTweaks mean that you can adjust the ROM to your liking and fix problems WITHOUT having to wait for an update to fix issues and having to reflash all over again, which is a clear advantage in my book.

The lite ver is lean and mean as far as I've seen. Stable too, though by throwing away TW and the stock Samsung apps it also took away some good stuff like hold slide notification to adjust brightness and Polaris Office.

But, I reserve my judgement until I've played with the other roms too.



LOL. Having come from the iPhone, I find it funny you're bringing THAT up. I had to disable quite a number of stuff on the iPhone just so it could make it through a day too, so it's nothing new here.

Plus, this ain't the Desire, mang. Now THAT was bad battery life.

If you want to bash something, do bash on the right stuff? If you wanna bash the SGS 2's sound quality, or Android's lack of apps (and Google's frequent Android Market authorization issues), go right ahead.

Otherwise, you just sound like an ignorant stereotypist.

@boomerang: Too many stuff to list down lol. Suffice to say I am running enough crap to eat up 10% battery life in 5 minutes lol.

Prolly need to check out tegrak later, or some other fun ROMs, but VillainLite seems stable enough for now.

Any obsessive multi-taskers amogst you guys? If there are, I present to you SwipePad, which even in it's free version is proving to be quite useful indeed. It's a anywhere launchable application launcher, and also plays the role of inpromptu task switcher.

Can't wait to get my GC account unblocked so I can buy the additional modules.

http://swipepad.info

Well, it's free and I have no issues so far so try it out guys

they are so smart, making the main app free, but the other apps which make it work need to pay shakehead.gif

After flashed to VillainROM and seeing some widgets and apps disappeared like Polaris, Vlingo (pre-installed version in S2 diff with market free apps version?) and funny lockscreen error  . . I felt some uneasiness and decided to restore back to stock ROM . . and gotta say I am more comfortable with stock ROM coz dun have to spend so much time to fix the problems with the ROM . .

Stock ROM looks nicer to me . . maybe just wan to change the battery icon to an batterty icon that shows figures . . any theme to rekomend?

i got polaris mah. and i thought vlingo is already in the phone.
