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.

Humans have always been war hungry lol.

Ayoma enough firestoning okay mangs. You get whatever you liek and stop firing at the other camps lar, jeez.

Constructive comparisons based on concrete facts are fine, but "my colours are better then yours because ai think they look more neutral" is just lol.

Or the more famous "your device is shit because it's not the same as my device" argument, which is clearly even more pointless lol.

It's instant here, are you running stock?

Did you do this:

Install Kies -> install uncle Benny's drivers -> start kies -> connect phone with usb debug off -> wait for drivers to be installed -> disconnect phone, choose usb debug mode -> reconnect phone -> wait for drivers to be installed.

Worked for me. Also restart your PC after installing kies and the drivers.

Running VillainLite with all touchwiz stuff removed except the essential ones asso I still have camera lol.

Now stuck not able to do much since Google freezed my checkout account darnit.

Must... not... feed... the... oh crap. I HAVE TO DO THIS...

1) What unibody? The battery cover is blardy plastic with a metal insert lol. And flimsy thermoplastic is not.
2) Superbly resource sucking SENSE-less you mean, with a weather widget so large you can actually feel rain coming out of the screen.

Sorry mate. And I thought you were STARTING to make SENSE too (lol).

But seriously, the Sensation is a good phone - if you want qHD over SAMOLED+, some metal over a lotta (thermo)plastic, Adreno over Mali, fat (SOLID BUILD?) vs slim (FLIMSY BUILD?), USB-OTG over, well, Sensation doesn't have OTG. It's all up to you and depends on which one feels better to you.

And man, why all the Sammy hate? Being completely objective, I CHOSE the SGS 2 over the Sensation simply because I liked it, and I think most of these people did too (plus a small percentage of people buying into Samsung advertising, but people who eat up advertising buy iPhones lol).

So, who at Samsung pissed you off anyway?

I like a car that looks cutting edge, drives VERY well and quickly, and don't mind having to splurge to maintain it. Prolly why I like Beemers and the SGS2.

Ou.. Sakit. Pass me the hot cream will you.

Really, I used to diss Android guys as much as everyone else using an iPhone 4. It's really fun to be on the receiving end this time (karma lol).

Anyhow, will try a full load battery test tomorrow to see how VillainRomLite holds up under (heavy) use. Expect to see something between 6-10 hours on a single charge.

Here we go again. Haish.

Hmm. Interesting.

Very well said.

As much I loved my iPhone 4, I love my SGS2. For different reasons abviously lol.

Ah. Maybe it's BECAUSE Samsung is copying Apple so well I chose the SGS2 over the Sensation. I never realized this before. Wow, you learn something new every day.

Not sure, I'm a Villian Zealot lol. Try asking the Litening guys.

@mave222: I didn't get anything with my pre-order either lol. Just the phone. Try your luck at OU for freebies?

We're gonna need a dedicated Samsung/HTC subforum soon. But before we get there, the SGS2 subforum over at XDA should be your best bet.

Info here is so very widely spread over spam and territorial conflict lol.

Hmm, adhoc for Andy. Interesting. Will try out though I'm a bit adhoc less over here, plus my only adhoc test station (old Nokia running Joiku) is like semi-dead rite now.

LOL, my VT FCed me too, just lol.

Running Zeebug by the way, prolly will convert it to flatblack later.

Lol, my camera got pink spot osso. But then, do did my old iPhone 4 (blue spot issue with cam). Lens problems? Sensor problem? Nobody knows, but software/firmware adjustments can sure make it less of a problem.

The SGS2 is hot? At least it doesn't shut down due to heat like my bro's iPhone 4 often does (while my own did get really hot).

Yellowish screens? Ha, we know what other phone had this issue now don't we.

Death grip? Well at least we don't share THAT problem. Oh wait the Sensation has WiFi death grip problems too.

In conlcusion, all phones come with defects. Whether a widespread one, or a sample-localized one (only a percentage if the phones have it), defects are a part of electetronics.

All we CAN do now is to fix the problems ourselves, wait for someone to fix it, or in the worse case - unfixable problems like how tiiiny the iPhone 4 speaker is or how crap the built in DAC is on the SGS - you just learn to live with it.

Or you can get some other phones with its own long set of problems to solve.

The INTERNAL SD card. Not the microSD. You checked this?
