I STRONGLY suggest you read my TIPS on rom flashing page 1 post #4. Based on the string of questions you are asking, you are just like shooting in the dark. Do make some effort understand the basics. The line of questions you are basically asking to be spoonfed - and that is not good.
And to answer your question - it has been replied and is very clear , why are you still asking about is it necessary to root ??? NO NEED - once you flash Litening it is auto root. And users here has already told you flashing this rom will not wipe your data - and you are asking again " need factory reset ". I give you my personal advise - it is GOOD to factory reset to have loess potential of bugs. If you want easy way out , which I see is most probably what you want - than no need . The choice is up to you

sorry uncle benny. im just curious. understand the TIPS but just take the precaution. some ppl said need to factory reset, some said no. and really sorry my question its TOO REALLY mess up this forum. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Best if you can do a factory reset, that will help isolate any problems you may come across..

how come you can check the units? all open box?

first thing i do before i pay for the phone is to get the shop to agree that i can check and be satisfied with the phone -- specifically, i mention that i won't even accept 1 dead pixel. i also say i will check for any discolourations/ tints.

once the fella agrees, the phone gets powered up and i enter *#0*# on the keypad. this will give me option like change screen to certain colours. good to detect dead pixels and tints. i'm not to overly worried about the pink spot on photos since its been reported that this is a software issue.

if they can't agree to this, i go to other shops lor... smile.gif

hi, i am new to this forum and my friend recently brought me in here to learn more about the phone i recently purchased. my previous phone is pretty much a dinosaur and after reading what is on the 1st page, i felt somewhat even more confused.

can one of you please explain to me what root is ? it is way too technical for me to understand. how do i get the galaxy s2 to play encoded divx files ? can i hook this up to a projector unit and display it ? what kind of resolution would i be looking at assuming i have a sxga projector. will it be able to handle and beam out at the maximum resolution the projector can take ? what special cables or devices would i be needing and at what price range would i be looking at ? will this be a pal or ntsc system setting ? am i able to view photos shot in raw format ? and more importantly can i beam those out onto my projector for presentation purposes ?

is there any free software that i can use to do a group chat ? or is it bound to the service provider ? something sort of like video conferencing for mobile phones but not a 1 to 1 session rather a 4-5 people session. 

the reason i bought this unit was that i was initially very impressed with the tablet computing power and my friend told me this is by far more powerful and faster than an ordinary tablet minus the screen size. so i thought that maybe for mobility purposes for presentations i could use this as a replacement to a laptop or a tablet as it is lighter and easier to pocket around.

thank you.

wah, your friend take the easy way out and point you here instead of teaching/ showing you?!?

anyway... for rooting. dun even bother with that. why fix something if its not broken. if the phone serves you well, then there's no need to read up on rooting (yet). when you find the phone is limiting you in certain ways, then yes... it would be time for you to start reading up on rooting. smile.gif in the meantime, try to ignore the temptations about rooting -- can be hard considering that almost every other post here talks about it.

to project to projector... you will need the cable -- one end is microUSB and the other is HDMI. if the projector does not have HDMI input... hmmm... not sure if you can use converter boxes for it. group chats -- not sure if they support group chats but check out apps like tango, viber or even whatsapp. i've not tried them out yet as i can still live without it. hoping to get OS 2.3.4 on the phone soon so i can use GTalk's video function.

personally, i dun think sgs2 can be a replacement to a laptop. it can supplement it, but not replace... you can do most work on laptop, use sgs2 to review and do minor editing. perhaps even do presentations. but i dun think you can replace the laptop.

not sure about asphalt 6, but Galaxy on Fire 2 is meant to be for tegra only. i think you'll need an apps to trick the game and do some manipulation/ translation for the game to work properly on sgs2.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...0&postcount=257

After update, the firmware still the same from "*#34971539#", but when I turn on the application "Galaxy S2 Camera", it says my firmware is updated.
