titanium backup contact 1.0...meaning it should backup your contact...mine no problem backup contact..

You can use XW_OJV_KF1 - v4.0_CMW4.zip to root your XWKF1. But that is for Android 2.3.3.
Why not you upgrade to Android 2.3.4 first. Flash XXKG5 stock rom then root using XX_OXA_KG5 - v4.1_CMW4.zip

Not necessary the best. It's just because KG5 is official release firmware while KG6 is leaked one. Though no harm done if he insist of using the KG6

did you restore contact 1.0?...i assume you bought the TB pro..mine no issue with backup contact...i screw up when sync with google account..so i just restore back contact 1.0, wallaa..back to my old contact list..

any region will do...malaysia stil at KF1..if want to wait till KG5, dunno until when..maybe end of next year?

seldom watch you tube in browser since we have independent youtube software..

the best opinion, you read Villian ROM thread in XDA...if you havent read yet, dont flash and later your stuck in bootloop, or someting wrong, you will get panic...if you asked this questions, i assume that you havent read the ROM info in XDA yet...

Hi bro, what apps is tht to backup your contacts?

Honestly depends how you define good and also depends on what you like.

For me, battery life nothing beats Villan ROM lite. However you can opt for sensation rom which is pretty not bad (current one has battery bug btw), litening and exynos extreme.

I would say go for the one you like best.

first flash xxkg5 first..then your flash CF root to root your phone as stock XXKG5 will not root your phone..

i believe you flashed the kernel only.

Get it from www.samfirmware.com

NO - Dont use the Chinese version ZNKG5 otherwise you phone will get force close and overheating.
Look for XXKG5 poland/europe version

No need if just flash phone n csc

Of course it will not functioning if you off it. You have to set it first :-)
Or do you mean if/when your screen off.?
Full stock version will wipe you data. So make a back up

yes you can..dont sync your google mail..deselect sync function. Meaning that if you want to check email, manual sync..you can set capacity...but after using K9 email per Benny, i never go back to default email anymore..

~~@ Dear members,

May i suggest for a new thread for SGSII newcomers.?
One reason is to keep this thread from ever growing like no tomorrow. Secondly, i find a lot of newcomers are former Nokia, Blackberry and iPhone user. Since they come from a totally different OS, there a bound to be some newcomers who can't grasp Android jargon or meaning although they have done some reading at our wiki on page 1.

I know these newcomers can ask here BUT i have seen quite a few times when they got rebuked just because they ask some question that seem noob to us but i'm sure it's difficult to them.

We have more than 600+ SGSII user in our forum but there are less than 100 who is active here. Where all the rest gone?
I strongly believe a bulk of this non-active user are newcomers that are either to shy or to scared to ask anything in this forum. And they simply fade away. :-(

With a new thread, noob, newbie (or whateverelse we call them) can have a place to ask anything out of their heart content about what they don't understand WHILE at the same time not disturbing this thread that mostly full of discussion about theme, overclocking, undervolting, tweaking, cooking, rooting and flashing custom roms.

Will somebody think of this..?

Cheers..!!!

okay what i found from villianROM forum of explaining a full wipe isIn recovery mode:

Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe sd:ext
Wipe battery stats
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe usage statistics

Partition SD card

do we really need to do all that to flash a ROM?

Just wipe cache partition and at Advanced wipe dalvik cache is the MINIMUM you must do
Clear data/factory reset is an option - some roms need you to do this ; some not necessary - this will wipe your phone clean. But I always recommend to do this to start clean - just use Titanium Backup restore is easy and fast. This step will usually eliminate force closures and hanging issues of certain apps.

Ic ic. right. that means the first link actually doign rooting while the second link actually flash the kernel (which the new kernel already rooted with some other stuff inside)?

so,if i follows the steps, i shouldn't face any issues rite?
