i plan to flash XXKG2..taken from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

will it wipe all my data in my phone?..or it just update the firmware..i see some say it wipe, but some say dont..so a bit confuse here..

now still downloading...6 hours to go..
*
lor why 6 hours to go~~ so slow meh? what connection you use.

and btw, if you flash the KG2 update, it wont wipe unless you did lor~~ backup everything first(sd card or internal no need as they wont get wiped). No need to wipe actually, unless you coming from custom rom. and also, if you got any problem after that, wiping is necessary. so as always, nandroid backup. sweat.gif

@weaver - i never got my stuffs wiped without me doing so manually, unless the rom has the script that tells it to. i think you flashed the wipe version of the Darky's rom. the one that kazama links doesnt wipe it a.k.a intratech version.

hi luffy,

you flash XXKG2 as well?..what do you mean by no need to wipe?..during flash, it will give you options??
owh ya..btw..i only used 512KB streamyx
*
i did on my first day i got my phone. about 5 days ago. yes, my sgs2 still new and i flashed stuff and know pretty much everything.

it wont give you any options, in the clockwork mod recovery there is the option. well if you dont have cwm, then no need to worry lor, just update without wipe, cuz thats how updates should be.

currently using official update for my aunt's samsung galaxy ace. biggrin.gif if no Gingerbread yet have to use ODIN to make hers 2.3.3 sweat.gif

yes..i root using CF-root..so I have CWM installed..but still don't know how to use CWM ..i google nandroid backup and found the following..how to press ALT-B for backup?

Performing a NANDROID Backup
At this point you should backup your phone via NANDROID

1 Turn your phone off.
2 Hold Home, press Power button to boot into Recovery Mode
3 Press ALT+B to start the backup.
4 Once the backup has completed press Home + Back
*
lol no need to follow the shortcut keys. just use the volume buttons to navigate and the home button to choose. you should see an option backup and restore in plain sight once entering CWM.

not much difference lor. go now!

Why bother with 1080p on a phone?  I can't really tell the difference between 480p and 720p on my phone adi.. not to mention 1080?
*
lol you seriously are not the quality type. if you are a quality type of person, you'll notice every single detail even if its small only. i have to convert most of my 720p videos(used on HTC Desire) again cuz i'm not satisfied with it. i need to show a good impression to people lor. my phone can smoothly record and play 1080p! thumbup.gif

Some users prefer to dl a rom and use it as it is ..... Villian got quite a number of tweaks which some ppl find it troublesome while others find it challenging ..... It's a personal choice actually

weird..however, i got it when I was on 2.0 as in i couldn't find the symlink fix in VRTweaks..

but when i flashed to 2.1, the fixes were as described in XDA hmm.gif
personal preference bro icon_rolleyes.gif but for first timers, litening would be much easier.

at least, that's what i thought before deciding to flash VR instead of litening anyways whistling.gif
*
but VR is the closest to stock as possible. with tweaks whenever you want. first timers should use the most stock custom rom lor. isnt it?

FAQ #9 talks about internal memory. My question was about external memory (SD card).. sad.gif
*
same applies. every memory/drives is like this. 16GB isnt the true one, they use 16GB but when you converted to more accurate value is 14,000,0000 ++ sumtin.byte maybe? i forgot lor, learnt it in networking class.

and 500GB isnt actually that. its 496GB only. EDIT : lower maybe, i forgot too~~

I would like to ask if anyone had tried pairing bluetooth keyboard to Samsung Galaxy S2 and if it works? Thanks. smile.gif

tried straight away you asked, but bluetooth earphone though. shouldnt be no diff maybe? make sure your bluetooth keyboard is is compatible for multi-pairing or else need to reset it first so that it'll not be tied to previously paired bluetooth.

16GB is total raw, after formatted to any filesystem, you won't get the full 16GB  doh.gif

Why on earth you wanted to move the app into sdcard? You have 2GB space for apps, plenty of space there. Furthermore, the internal sd is unique to Samsung since SGS1 which other phone will treat it as external sd (microsd).

Most other android phone will see the memory like.... internal rom (from 256MB to 1GB) for app -> external SD (memory card from 2GB to 32GB)

For SGS it will be like... internal ROM 2GB for app -> internal SD (MoviNAND / USB Storage) 12GB -> external SD (memory card from 2GB to 32GB)

In conclusion, "move app to sd" for other phone is the external SD; but for SGS, it is the internal SD.
*
and yeah moving the sd will only make it slower and android will need to access sd card frequently to access apps, hence more battery consumption. but thats my theory. heard that one in one of Desire's thread.

cuz maybe it failed, and litening is 2.3.4 isnt it? so it stays~~ have you wiped? since you are from custom rom obviously.

known issue since you dont wipe. try clear data of the email and social hub. most people got email force closing after going to 2.3.4 without wipe. i got it too. thats the day i decided going for VillainROM haha~~ since alang2 nk wipe kan.

guys, off topic a bit,
what do u say to ur commoner friends when ur commoner friends ask u what's the advantages of our RM2k dual core phones?

bcos ive been ask that question recently,
and i told them this phone can play and record 1080p video..he said ''come again, what video?''...i said HD video la brader doh.gif ..and they like 'owhhh'
some more i told this phone is using SAmoled+ display...and they went ''???????'' doh.gif  doh.gif
and it go on and on like that for a while..after that they look at me like i just wasted my money for nothing sweat.gif
i didnt even bother telling them about ROM flashing and the amount of themeing/customization u can do with this phone..it just become a moo point...

so what say u?
*
me? i dont say all that tech stuff. i show them all those user interface. can drag everything in the screen, the 1080p video(dont tell it first time, they dont understand, tell them after they see, plus tell them when you view on 42" inch LED screen its the same, pandai2 goreng ayat la), show the screen.

they tend to more attracted to beautiful stuffs, so they must've love the screen which super amoled + and they just dont know it.

thats why i always taken screenshots once i got a beautiful set up i like. i just show them the folder of what android can do. dont just boast bout the phone, android plays an important role here. and if they know iphone, even better, compare them directly. i manage to attract people with iphone 4 using only my HTC Desire. i got this phone now and ready for raya again this year haha~~ plus more cousins too biggrin.gif

i started using Desire, then recommended Samsung Galaxy Ace to my aunt, my sister bought wildfire S, my mum loves my current Desire after i got SGS2. my university friends now got around 6 buying an android. and tomorrow, a cousin of mine ask me to accompany her to buy sgs2, but she might get sensation. so woot woot i might get to hold a sensation, a live one tomorrow!! biggrin.gif

oh and btw, i installed launcher 7 and launcherpro/adw just for live view for my friend. i say it can transform into iphone(using MIUI screenshot or i did using launcherpro), windows phone 7, etc.

at the end, said that, this is dual core man, if they seems like dont know, its like the one that powered the computer but inside a phone, even my laptop lost to this, and sumtin like that. others are single core bla2~~ dont say bout 1080p and SAmoled, people dont know.
