Congrat LuffyPSP for your Unboxing video. Remind me when firsttime i had the phone in my hand.

Did you test the screen before you bring it home checking for any defect.?

You can check using LCD screentest by dial *#*#0*#*#* and see wether all the colour, vibration, speaker etc are okay.
*
just tested it. everything working perfectly fine. thanks for the tip.

Just rooted!! using CF. i cant believe its that easy meh? damn easy compared to my Desire rooting days. after it said done, i waited quite awhile to see the box goes green all the way but then realized my phone rebooted and got SU edy!

now if new firmware released, how do i update them? i mean i want to have latest stock rom, but still rooted. Can just use the same process in ODIN? and can download any .tar available?

not going for CM7 for a very long time i guess. been using it all the time on Desire. having fun with TW 4 now.

btw, VillainROM is the only custom rom that are closest to stock right? no customizations? i cant help but to get itchy with custom rom as i've been an addict before. always been on the cm7 nightlies before this.

need to organize all of my apps, undesrtand fully bout the kernel and stuffs, then i'll go for VR.

yeah.. i still remember talking to u back when in Desire thread  icon_rolleyes.gif .. im not a fan of CM but i guess this time ill give it a try since no Sense rom are available (yet)  biggrin.gif
*
aah yeah you were a sense rom fan back then. I am pure AOSP while on Desire. now suddenly wanna be on stock. i think TW4 really improves a lot, compared to my aunt's Ace. its a lot more user friendly, and i use most of the stock apps too. got many things in AOSP makes me use 3rd party, which kinda waste space, and slow app cuz they are not in the memory.

have you get the taste of Sense 3.0? Sense is definitely the best in UI, and 3.0 is awesome. TW4 lacked something, but i like it better cuz of the smoothness.


going for KG2 in a while now that i completely not confused anymore. biggrin.gif

what does CM7 nightlies mean? izzit just BETA testing?
*
yeah something like that. everyday got new build. but we dont know what nightlies will have new features. some nightlies lose a feature and some got added. its the way to have a stable build at some point, after some nightlies(maybe 30-40 or maybe 60), they will have RC and then after some time will have stable version.

o yeah been thinking that too, i havent flashed the rom. KG2 doesnt seem to have CF root yet i guess?

so now i need to flash stock KG1 first and redo the CF root for KG1?

update it via Kies or i can find the download somewhere else?

Dude..what are you trying to achieve anyway? If u looking to go to stock 2.3.4 with root, just download the stock firmware from xda..a forumer call intratech I think, then download the KG2 CF-Root and you are ready to go

I'm achieving understanding~ huhu...

He read too deep between the lines la bro........was like that when first joined this thread a month ago when i evaluated getting a S2 and passed the IP4 to my other half
*
i read too much that i confused myself. I left stock rom on Desire too long that i got confused right now.


QUOTE(ivanlmh @ Jul 19 2011, 04:22 PM)
Dude..u need to understand the basics first.

Gingerbread 2.3.4 - firmware
KF1, KG1, KG2 - Kernel

Those are two different thing bro.

If you want to upgrade to 2.3.4, upgrade the firmware - ODIN
when you updated to 2.3.4, you will be at KG2. If you want root, there's when CF-Root comes into place. And yes, please scroll down the XDA thread further..there is CF-root for KG2 already
*
aight aight got it. in the official FW thread, i chose the one with XXKG2? it says OXA poland there... become not sure again after that. and for CF-Root KG2, got 2 version, which one to choose?ZS_OZS_KG2 or JP_XSG_KG2?

It's ok bro..choose the one with XXKG2. Once u flash the 2.3.4, use CF-Root to root it. I used the JP_XSG_KG2 to root.
*
after root using that, need to flash stock kernel back? read the official FW thread and he said flash the stock kernel. am i right?

I'm in 2.3.4!!! flashed the official FW XXKG2, then using the CF-root KG2, and flash the stock samsung kernel, then flash kernel zImage using CWM manager.

so now stock 2.3.4 + cf-root v4.1 + no warning icon on boot + no counter~~

hehe btw got a question, does the counter affect anything? it seems not many like it and wanted to reset it if possible. is it samsung wanna keep track on our activity? i see that only USB jig can reset it. where to get it? here got sell at our place? i know i will be flashing a lot so i think i'll buy it awal2 la.

oh and btw if flash 2.3.4 you'll get music hub but the thing is, i'll remove it since it has no use!

not like you can demand a 100% perfect phone, perfect is the killer of improvement. for me X7 is totally a *mute* compare to SGSII (mayb due to my preception towards Nokia after having miserable memory wif N78 and N97) doh.gif
*
yeah and no camera shutter too!! but still every people envy sgs2. if you think this phone has flaws, think about other phone's flaw. they have much more than sgs2.

Hehe., good for you LuffyPSP but there are other ppl that consider Samsung put a lot of crap in its UI. Samsung App can hog quite a lot of RAM and slow the phone.

But everybody have difference taste so it's up to you if you want to keep and use it or delete it or freeze it if you're rooted and have Titanium Backup.

i know lol. i called sense full of bloatware long time ago. until i realize, when you use stock rom of Samsung or HTC, you tend to use them cuz they are pretty great. When i use CM7, i missed sense stuff but thinking about the lag and stuff make me stay. well since sgs2 is fast, i wont need to think of possible problem of lagging even using TW or any bloat they give. using AOSP is sure the fastest, but i'm going stock for now. the functions are the stuff that my friends will envy. AOSP will look plain to them, even though we all know its possible to do anything with Android, be it AOSP or TW or Sense.
