Villain 2.0 is ooookay. Nothing much besides the goodies that 2.3.4 stock brings + a laggy stock browser lol. But I use Xscope anyway so no biggie.

Just installed OpenTyrian (huraaaah!), now for some Baldur's Gate action.

Oh and just dropped my SGS2 from the height of a cupboard top onto a tile floor. FACE FIRST... sweat.gif

The "loose" Ultra Capsule and it's subtle lid prolly saved it from most of the damage, but the battery cover got loose in the process ( shocking.gif ) and my SD card gegar a bit = unmounted.

So I turned the thing off, popped the SD card out and in again, re-closed the battery cover and rebooted. The SGS2 chugged along like nothing ever happened lol. Maybe Samsung DID make this thing tough after all.

[GUIDE] How to get Google Map 5.7 (nav) to work

If you are getting "Application not installed" when installing Google map 5.7, here's what you need to do:

1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.
2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.
3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall
4. Download map5.7ownhere-signed.apk from here: http://www.filesonic.com/file/1389928264/m...wnhere-sign.apk
5. Copy the file to /system/app using root explorer (or any "root" explorer)
6. Mount system as R/W
7. Install Google Maps 5.x ownhere-signed.apk
5. If you wish to reinstall streetview, download it from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/street-view (doesn't work in Msia, as you should know)

One "bug" I noticed google nav has is that it automatically sets the system volume to MAX, but it wouldn't turn it back down to default volume when it quits

Legs all seem to still be there - the battery cover is still as hard as crap to open really. Screen - yep solid.

Try the height of the top of a normal wooden door straight to a hard tile floor, face first.

I heard the "smack" and thought she was a goner edi. Thankfully, the SGP case was there - though the shock was bad enoughlar if my SD card and battery cover all can become a tad loose.

If it was my old iPhone 4, I really think at least one side would be cracked edi - especially considering its weight. Now we know why Samsung made this thing:

a) So freaking light.
b) Out of a whole lot of plastic.

Transition animation is inside the framework file. The only way to totally remove or change is by changing the theme.

agree! we all know e=mgh and we all know f=mg and we know impulse force = mv/t there's m in all of them biggrin.gif heck, my friend's iphone4 dropped from car seat height to tar road also his screen in pieces ad

samsung made it out of high quality plastic, if it's my old nokia n96, drop from that height i bet all the legs would have broken
