Added on July 11, 2011, 8:13 ambtw, any exynos extreme user here? Im almost sticking with villain2.0 but i really need the stock browser.. one of the key points of sgs2 is the gpu accelerated browser, if i had to go for a 3rd party as a main browser, not worthy indeed

hmmm... i noticed this thread likes to talk about ROM, ROM, ROM... lol...

anyway, trying to steer away from the ROM topic...

what nice game are you playing on your SGS2? ideally, a game that really makes sgs2 run (so we can safely remove angry birds from this list)... please indicate if mod is required -- this is for those going to menton THD games -- they are originally meant for tegra gadgets. wink.gif

i've yet to find one... the only closest one so far i've tried is zenonia 3 but it does not look like its making sgs2 run.

ok, another topic... from what i understand from pg1, the charging port on sgs2 is actually microUSB, correct? i tried plugging in the cable from my external harddisk and it didn't seem to be able to go in...
* was i being to gentle?

asking partly coz i noticed my Asus TF charger is actually a 2 piece charger (1 pc is the adapter/ charger that connects to the wall 3pin socket and 1 is a USB to proprietary ASUS port). it's stated as 2.1A on the adapter. so... can i find a usb to microusb (assuming the port on sgs2 is microusb) and use that to charge the phone?

i think benny88 mentioned he uses the kensington car charger (or sth like that). i checked out the link before and it shows a adapter (for the car cigarette point) with what looks like a usb port.

just wondering... so at least if i travel, i can reduce the number of things to carry... smile.gif

hmmm... you mean the default browser is specially customised to max the gpu? hmmm... i skipped it and currently using dolphin hd.

if this is the case, i might check out the default browser...
*
talking about ROMs are a phone specific discussion btw rolleyes.gif .. i guess yes since the stock browser on SGS2 is fully gpu accelerated and it handles flash nicely indeed.. i guess its one of the key points when comparing sgs2 to other dual core since samsung has developed a perfectly awesome browser, still needs improving on bookmark manager though.. huhu

one funny thing is i noticed the buttons in recovery changed.. im using cwm 4.0.0.5... yesterday when i pressed home (middle) button it acts as an OK or ENTER.. but today when i pressed it, it acts as a back button.. is it due t0 some of the roms i tried changed the kernel?

im on CF root KF2


update : flashed to exynos extreme and now in the recovery, the middle button is ENTER back again.. previously it acts as a back button

Kinda feel this thread is getting more and more rubbish questions.

Anyways, incase anyone is wondering..

I tested both Lite-ning 2.0 and Villain 2.0. For me, i still prefer Villain. I thought of going to Lite-ning as usually that rom does not have problems with the stock browser but it seems the dev even removed the stock browser and replaced it with SkyFire which i feel its totally crap

skyfire isnt my taste too.. i prefer opera after stock browser, tried dolphin and i dislike its looks sweat.gif

Finally, I managed to solve the delay/frame skipping issue while playing 1080 videos through the ext mem card. Just download SD Booster (requires root) and set the cache value of the SD mem to 128. Now I can enjoy a smooth video playback w/o compromising the space in my internal mem. Got this useful tip from a member in xda and fyi I'm using Lite'ning 2.0.

thx for the tip.. btw is there any side effects of that? i used that before in my Desire HD.. significant improvements but i dun know sometimes my SD gets corrupted sweat.gif .. dunno if it gets corrupted as coincidence or due to that tweaking

ive just compared my display with a friend, he's is bluish but mine is yellowish+greenish a bit

which one is the "OK" one actually? is it due to different manufacturing batch? To me personally, when i view whites, its white enough (coming from HTC LCD display phones), so i dun think its a defect. What do u guys think? Do u think the yellowish bit (looks more white when display white) or the bluish bit display is fine and which one is the defect display or is it actually due to diff batch so not actually a defect

I dun think we should take the flexibility of the back cover for granted.. in case some of the legs are broken, then we will be in pain. The materials are bendable and flexible but shit happens sometimes

Guys I have a question to ask. Hope those sifu and experience sg2 user can help me out.

I Underclock my phone pretty well until basically hit the min voltage. Tested a few days. So yesterday I drain battery til hit 2% and i charge full. This morning woke up phone was off which i suspect I undervolting 200Mhz a little too much for testing. That I understand.

However i on phone and battery show 83% instead of 100%. I charged since 2am and checked about 7am. Kinda weird?

Could this be caused by undervolting? Ialso attach the screenshot. See the far right battery drop drastically even though I am on idle and basically nearly idle due to my setting on Juice Defender.

So my question is... Too much undervolting cause this?
*
undervolt or underclock? i guess u mean underclock since volts are using mV isnt it? btw, looked at front page and search but cant find a proper guide for undervolting using tegrak.. doh.gif .. really wish to try undervolting, can anyone spoon feed me on this? tongue.gif ( i mean help )

To those that wonders why Tegrak wont work on some roms, its kernel related. Module will only run if ur using a kernel which is based on stock kernel, not built from source

Quoted from XDA :

"program doesn't work with kernels built from source. Due to lack of info from Samsung the needed modules could be loaded only on stock kernel. Cf root and Tegrak kernel are stock kernel with only changes in InitRAMfs."


Answered my question of why the heck i cant load it
