QUOTE(benny888 @ Sep 5 2011, 03:15 PM) Changing modem, kernel WILL not wipe phone. Some firmware will and if it does, it is usually stated by the rom developer Yeap, i do know how to flash Rom, that is because Litening Rom will not wipe my phone.I don't believe your questions. You have rooted and already flash several roms and yet asking again. You have flash Litening, so you must know how to use Odin, right ?? Download the KH3 modem or download the official KH3 firmware ( copy out the extracted modem file ) . I already said USE ODIN and just select the phone/modem tar file as PHONE in Odin. Leave others BLANK earlier one user has already reply you - it is very safe to flash another modem on top of your modem. Personally I will advise you to stick to KG5, why you want to change to KH3 which I find is the worst modem file KH3 worst? Oh, i read somewhere that its a better modem, because right now im using KH3 kernel. How does kernel and modem affect my phone? (i couldnt find this on page1, tried using the 'search' but there's nowhere indicated 'baseband') For e.g? what are the difference between a KH3 modem and nimph kernel and a KG5 modem with a nimph kernel and KG5 modem with KH3 kernel. another question. I do understand flashing rom such as COGNITION do wipe my phone. Say, i already customised my go launcher in my Litening Rom v5, if i flash to Cognition, does it mean all my go launcher lost? and... how do i prevent from rearranging all my apps into a folder again? |

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Sep 5 2011, 03:19 PM) whatsapp is free for first year. i suggest installing whatsapp and viber. you then have 1 year to convert your friends from whatsapp to viber. viber is currently FOC. if you know windows and the difference between power user and administrator... then think of root access as being administrator. in its original form, sgs2 (and other android devices) only give power user rights. why need root/ administrator access? to modify the OS/ system/ kernel files. some apps that 'freezes' your apps will need such rights, i think... ok, i'm psychic and i can read your mind. and no, not going to explain what is 'freezing'. installing 3rd party apps do not require root access. it's just a matter of checking a box. QUOTE(Fallenangelz @ Sep 5 2011, 03:20 PM) what's the difference btw whatsapp and viber? never heard of viber.lol. sorry i'm from ice age.mydragon, thanks, i get the picture. But does rooting makes the phone off warranty? |

But does rooting makes the phone off warranty? Whatsapp and Viber are 2 different application. Whatsapp is like text messaging over wifi/3g which means free. However Viber provide free call (VoIP) and text messaging over Wifi or 3g. both use data, so u pay over your data plan. |

On Page 7, post # 126 I posted this topic:
How do I backup my phone IMEI in case it gets missing, gets corrupted during flash process ? And how do I restore it I got a PM responding to this, asking me : Is this really necessary to do. What happen if I lost my iMEI and i did not do a backup ? If you lose your IMEI means : your phone cannot detect your sim card at all, you cannot make and receive calls, you cannot have internet access. If you go to Settings/About Phone/Status/IMEI - you will see a blank ou stated UNKNOWN. You can try to recover it by either flashing a stock official rom ( full set PDA, PHONE, CSC) or try flash just the modem file. If these failed, your only choice is to send to Service Center to rebuild your rom The chance of losing the IMEI is very low but if you are a frequent flasher of roms, kernels, modem etc it might happen; these I called accidents. So better backup. Using the app I proposed just takes 1 SECOND. Restoring it another 1 second. Better be safe , preventive than sorry later. Since it is so easy, just do it. Accidents can happen without you knowing and no approval is needed from you to happen. When it happen, don't ask "WHY ME ?" If you are flashing those HP, Motorola, CSL phones the chance losing your IMEI is very, very high |

"thing"! "Thing"! but seriously... i understand your pain. why not suggest to viber (they have official thread in LYN forum and they do take in our suggestions) to have a separate sound option - option to disable sound notification. actually, i think there is a disable notification option, but too lazy to check if it's the sound notification or the top bar thingy... |

If you go and read the XDA forum on any kernel or any rom, you will see different opinions. Differences in opinions arose as each user use their phone differently.

So your best answer is test it yourself. Read all comments including mine with bowls of salt. Use other people opinions just as a guide. If majority is praising certain roms, kernels perhaps than you can try. If majority is condemning it, it might be wiser to stay away unless you want to convince yourself As a standard operating procedure, I always advise users to wipe their phone if you are moving from one cook to another. It will eliminate a lot of issues. Just use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps/data. Restoring back usually takes 5-10 minutes only. I always believe in starting from a clean rom. I have been practicing this principle in all my Androids . The only thing you need to do manually is to place back your widgets on homescreen. Your set fiormat where /how you place your apps is all restore back . However if your present rom is Samsung TW and the cook rom do not have TW as option, than you will not get this restore back |

Differences in opinions arose as each user use their phone differently. Each user is at a different place on the earth. Each user uses a different telco and one thing for TW restoring is those widgets need to add back one by one in some circumstances when changing to another rom. shortcuts all remain but widgets will got problem and need to remove and add backSo your best answer is test it yourself.

QUOTE(AhBoy~~ @ Sep 5 2011, 03:21 PM) Your Android OS is extremely high. You must have a lot/tons of background apps running. Mine usually hovers around 20-30% most of the timeDownload this free app : SystemPanel. AT anytime, just launch it and you can see a whole list of apps working in background You have to analyze yourself these apps and if you have no use/need of them, permanently freeze it using Titanium Backup. If those apps you need, check their settings/options/or preferences or whatever to see whether you can disable it from running in background. Some apps are by default actively refreshing data/checking updates in background You also can use BetterBatterystats to check the list of apps running when your display is off At such a high %, your battery usage will suffer |

QUOTE(Mollai @ Sep 5 2011, 03:59 PM) lol... another female! cool!yes, can make free calls. for me, viber gets my thumbs up only coz they have official support in our forum. they have indicated plans to make it very much like whatsapp (being able to share photos) and also to have other versions -- for BB, PC, etc. but again, another major point -- its FREE. whatsapps for android... it's chargeable annually. the ios version is only pay once. |
