Actually between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 there isn't a significant difference. I'd only recommend upgrading if you get hit by by the AOS bug present in some but not alll 2.3.3s..

Check your battery usage and if AndroidOS is using up a significant portion of your battery, an upgrade would be good.

On the other hand, I'm currently using Batista70 by snakes. Kinda like how that rom is themed.

Stock kernel will have problems with Wifi on some devices I think when used in conjunction with a custom rom. Better to either buy a jig or just make one xD

i din install any custom rom yet. don intend to do that, yet.

i'm a complete newbie in all these things la. my first smartphone since nokia n70 =_=

xD

Then I guess stock will work fine for you ^^.. tbh, I just want the themes some ROMs provide..

I use

1. Go EX Launcher
2. GO SMS

So already can theme inside tongue.gif Just want the battery icons on top and the extended boot menu provided by custom roms. The only thing I don't like about CR is that deodexed browsers lag in general when scrolling.

The browser lag CAN be fixed, you know. And like I said before, stock browser is REALLY quite feature sparse if you intend to REALLY browse heavily. The HW acceleration is nice for flash, yes, but otherwise the dual core proc makes any browser fast anyway.

Plus the crappy checkerboard and text reflow problems in stock.

Also, I'm wondering what you guys are running for so many to get reboot problems. Ever since I for got the SGS2, the thing has only freeze rebooted on me like 3-4 times, and even then due to excessive system mods.

Sample variation?
*
Yeah it *can* be fixed... Just that its a hassle tongue.gif

@KLHC
Just download VRTweaks and select the fixed browser option inside.


Added on July 11, 2011, 9:59 amI guess I just like the UI of the stock android browser. Never really did like Dolphin all that much.

flashed VR2.0. (successfully i think  sweat.gif  )

when booting up, saw the villian boot logo..

BUT, it looks exactly the same as stock ROM. homepage, wallpaper, everything looks the same.  sweat.gif  i check at the About phone, the build number has changed to VillainROM2.0 dy.. but why it looks just same with the old stock ROM? so what are the tweaks then? am i done it right?  sweat.gif  sweat.gif  icon_question.gif

Performance tweaks / deodexed only.. Doesn't mean there will be visual changes inside the ROM itself.

guys, i need to correct my statement.

regarding the removing yellow warning triangle as quoted above.

YES, after i just flashed the stock kernel, the yellow triangle GONE. Superuser and CWM apps still retained in my device (means i still have root access)

a few moments i tot im good to go, but problem occurs when i tried to flash custom ROM. it just WON'T flash!

i figured out that the ChainFire kernel was gone, thats y i won't flash. thus, i downloaded 7-zip and extract the zimage files from the CF .tar. flashed the zimage, then only can flash custom ROM.

i just dun want to be misleading to other noob here..

thanks

(testing the Villain 2.0 now  thumbup.gif )

Also, just because the apps are there doesn't mean they are functional tongue.gif

If medium usage about 8-10 hours. If you want full day, turn everything on low or minimal. And no games.

On batista70 rom and I get about a full day's usage with medium use o.O

Light gaming (w/o 3d games)
Some whatsapp
Some sms
Some calls



Anyway, try go to

Menu->About Phone->Battery Usage And see what's using the most


Mine currently at 7hrs with only 30% usage.

If you're on a rooted SGS2, boot into CWM and clear battery stats

Don't think so, never bothered discharing my battery completely... Just charge its full after resetting stats... when it says full, turn it off and continue charging till it says full (yet again). You should then have a full charge

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