For the pink spot issue, we just need to wait for Samsung to update the firmware?
Btw, i'm preparing to root my phone. However, something confuse me. My phone info: Baseband I9100DXKF1 Kernel: XWKF1 Build: XWKF1
i was actually downloading CF-Root 4.0. What i'm confuse about is...the dev for CF-Root got CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4.zip
What does OJV means?

QUOTE(JusticeDeserves @ Jun 25 2011, 07:45 PM) Hey..if im using the galaxy S2 for streaming once in a while,going fb,surf..chat..whatsapp and skype once in a while..do u think 500 MB is enough monthly..cos once i get stuck to maxis..no turning back..so want to make the right choice on the plan..i have wifi at home at work and at college.. streaming use up alot of ur quota. 500 MB is not enough. If we frequently FB, chat, whatsapp, skype. 500MB should be enough. U can try avoid using 3G while at places with Wifi. that saves ur quota.

QUOTE(benny888 @ Jun 26 2011, 09:45 AM) If you have read Litening 1.5 specs - this is what he has stated: 21/06/2011 Now with official XXKF2 Firmware Modem XXKF2 Added CF-Root 4.0 kernel for XXKF2 So what doubts you still have ?? Flash it and you will have XXKF2 Now starting to get a clearer pciture. So flashing ROM does matter what firmware you are on. They just change to the firmware the ROM comes with. right? Going to buy a sd card first and buy titanium backup pro. This post has been edited by nicholas86: Jun 26 2011, 09:51 AM

QUOTE(benny888 @ Jun 26 2011, 09:58 AM) YES - I always say ( already lost count how many times I have say it ) - PLEASE READ the details/specs of the rom you want to flash. The rom cooks always specify what changes their rom will bring to your phone. Their thread is the BEST source as they are the ones who do up the rom and they are the one who write down the features and specs. THis is addressed to new users : Why is that so many times, planning to flash rom guys always ask such questions here - can this XXXX rom do this or that ?? Can XXX rom have this feature ??? Can XXX rom flash by odin or recovery ?? ... and the list goes on and on . Go to the source - and read the specs ; actually if you want more info you can always also post at XDA or even PM the rom developer It is not that I am not willing to answer BUT the fact is ALL the answers are at the rom thread and since you are going to download the rom there, please READ the thread details - it is only/always on post#1 in the thread Sorry Benny. It not that i didn't read the details. I just don't understand the happening of it. Maybe i'm thinking too much At first, i thought ROM does not change the version. Looks like i better go back start reading "what's flashing ROM" again

QUOTE(Vcys86 @ Jun 26 2011, 05:27 PM) from XDA forum. This should be the stock kernel GT-I9100_TGY_I9100ZSKF1_Kernel.tar Yes, the jig did serve its purpose. Thanks again. Btw, a new question, iinm, using titanium backup can freeze unwanted apps that running background right? I did grant it superuser right, however i can't find any options of "freezer" did u use titanium backup pro or just titanium backup? If not mistaken u need to pay before u can freeze.
