A word of advice for beginners ...... DONT DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE VIA SAMFIRMWARE ...... I seen 3 fully bricked phone this week , all from there . Either something wrong with the .pit file or what , I dont know .... get from XDA , from the link provided by Benny in the 1st page

Flashing the firmware downloaded from samfirmware gave them this result in ODin

ah, i never realise the pink spot.. lol. tested mine, from the darkest picture, to the brightest, didnt found any... lucky me? lol. anyway, uncle benny, thanks for the explainations...

have one more question, dont know if it has been discuss here yet or no, or it is not worth the time to be discussed, or whatever... read something from the xda forum, and i quote, " So it seems that a couple of ROM "chefs" thought it was a good idea to sneak in a script to cheat their quadrant benchmark results... Both Lite'ning ROM, and AngeloROM are giving deceiving quadrant scores. " .. so, is both the rom is not as what it says?

p/s: seems like flashing to villain rom is like harder than other roms.. phew.
*
Earlier version of their roms have this command inside


mount -o rw -t tmpfs tmpfs /data/data/com.aurorasoftworks.quadrant.ui.standard

Even stock rom after running this cmd in terminal as su get same quadrant results

Note : if you have quadrant advanced change the command replacing ui.standard with ui.advanced. Both command lines are on init.d script

they cheated the quadrant score putting in quadrant benchmark putting this command in init.d script

Someone compared it to Lite'ning and apparently found the same script in it as well ......

How fake if u r wondering ? Well , after overclocked to 1.5 , I almost hit 6k quadrant running on AngeloRom .....

Edit : Here is a Youtube link on how to do it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE0hDwfzFOk

A question on papago: when you say put the NaviSEA folder in the root sdcard, what does it mean? What is the name of the folder where i should put the naviSEA in?

The folders I have in my phone when I connect to computer:
Android, Attachments, Aura, burstlyImageCache, data, DCIM, LOST.DIR, media, openfeint, Samsung, ShareViaWifi, TunnyBrowser, usbStorage, WhatsApp

edit: i'm asking this because I tried to just paste the naviSEA by creating a new folder (means add a naviSEA folder in addition to the list above) but the papago fails to launch
*
it means move your NaviSea folder into your internal sd card so it shows " Removable disk (H)/NaviSea " on your computer

If u cant understand what we r talking about , I dunno how else 2 explain to u ..... Also , pls check if u have any maps in your NaviSea folder under " maps " folder

As some users r complaining that SGSII got no notification lights or comparing it with u-know-what , just in case u guys missed it as it was mentioned by 1 of the forumer earlier , there is an alternative which was initially developed for SGS . Its call NoLED which can be downloaded from " Market " and its free . Working well on SGSII .

Sorry again but i've been trying and googling for the past 45mins trying to figure our how to mount. Copied from a website:

Take you phone, in Idle mode, open the application list and select Settings → About phone → USB settings → Mass storage. (There are four modes like Samsung Kies, Media Player, Mass Storage, and PC internet. You just want to copy/paste files on the phone, so just select Mass Storage.)

But I don't see the option 'USB settings' in 'About phone'. How do I access the mass storage?
Everytime I plug the usb cable into my phone it automatically says 'connected. press the home key to quit samsung kies'. I can't do anything else unless I quit.
*
there r 2 ways to do it ... Easiest for me is
Settings > Applications > Development > Usb Debugging
" Check usb " debugging and the next time u plug in your cable , u will see a icon on top for u 2 pull down to select " mass storage " mode OR
Refer to page 1 of Benny's post which I'm sure u r 2 lazy to read and that is y u r asking here after spending 45 mins searching thru the net

Edit : post no #4 , question no 5

IF its a MicroSD internal , anyone can replace it just like DELL Streak and save themselves from buying a 32G SGSII but sadly it's not . Who said its Micro SD anyway ? Pls quote your source or else u r gonna confuse other new users here beside yourself
