tQ

Many users I have read is using this app here in this thread. I have tested itb too - is very easy. to use. It is actually replacing the procedure to boot to recovery and clear battery stats

Nice. Will give a try after my phone charged. Tried Batista but somehow I cannot restore/import my contacts. Always give the same error. Can't remember it exactly though.

when power off the sgs2 then after few sec isit will vibrate ? why my sgs2 wont 1. isit normal?my vibrate is working 1.

installed cognitionS2 and i have to say i really like it...

but it did uninstall my default email widget. the programme is still there but the widget is gone..

know how to get it back? I just use that and the calender widget (calender widget easy to replace with others..)

Guys, i want to ask two question.

1. How to know my PDA, PHONE, CSC for stock rom? i am know in KH3. Just in case if need revert to stock firmaware.
2. Heard KH3 is not compatible with 3G data?? its true.

the market seem to be can't detect to apps already in install in myapps so can update..

yeah... it's in the TWlauncher but not available for selection in GOLauncher

anyone of you having rotating problem when receiving a call or dialing??mine will auto rotate i have to switch off auto rotation to get rid of it,by the way i am using batista rom 3.7.2??any suggestion guys?)=

For those who want a fast ( as in delivery ) external battery , 3500mAH , think this will satisfied you .

hi new s2 user here
i want to ask...

how do i make a call on the s2?

guys... dun be so bad la... i think new user meant to tell us he could not find the keypad. i think that's the same for first time users. i know i could not find the keypad as well... also missed my first call coz  didn't know how to answer a call.

anyway, i think so nice bros have pointed out... top menu... scroll to the left. keypad is top left icon.

i think samsung should just reduce the size of the icons and fit them all into one screen.

I have concluded that as of now if you only want to flash one rom, the best is cognition 1.5.1.  Change modem to xxkg3 and kernel to ragemod
If you like beautiful themes this will not give you but there are some mods being done for this rom, flash this separately
Anyway this is just a quick answer to those who always ask me which is best rom to use
I could be seriously wrong as your needs are different from me

haha plenty of apps from the market...even games already eat up a lot of memory...crapz...so any solutions?

What rom would you guys recomend me? One that has the best balance between battery life and performance. Currently looking at exynos extreme and litening rom

I recieved this PM and my reply to him based on Darky/Chainfire threads. Have posted it in FAQ on roms part2. This was discussed before several threads back. Might be useful for new users to know

I am confused about the JIG - does it really hide all my reflashing records and Samsung Service Center cannot detect the flashing done ?

Answer: The JIG just resets your flash counter and remove the yellow triangle during first bootup
What does this counter do exactly?

It's very simple: it counts the number of times you flash a custom ROM or kernel on your SGS II, so the guys over at Samsung know of it when you return the phone to them for any kind of problem you may have (this is done so they can say whether you've voided your warranty or not). Even using Odin to get back to stock won't help you and will let the counter go up by one
The good news is that the counter can be reset by using one of those jigs we all know very well

No, unfortunately Samsung has very clear in mind what it's doing.
It seems there is a second counter, which counts the number of times the custom flash counter has been reset, and the bad news is that its position/folder has not been discovered yet.

So, it seems all the future SGS II owners and flash addicts over here will have a hard time returning their SGS II to Samsung after having flashed something... I hope someone over at XDA will get everything sorted out (Chainfire is already working on it).
Speaking about XDA, here's the source of this article: XDA-SGS II flash counter.

As I have said many times before, resetting your flash records, installing back your stock roms/kernels to claim warranty is just to make yourself happy and confident when you submit in a warranty claim. The Samsung Tech if he wishes can pursue to void your warranty claims by just accessing these hidden files/logs. I have always being successful in claiming rooted/flash cook rom sets as I always believe in honesty. Why try to hide. , and don't bluff your way thro. Tell the truth and do not be surprised you get rewarded by the FOC services rendered

ya, sometimes i found the theme is quite annoying. but nothing much can do, i dun reli like stock green color. kinda have some phobia wif green color 

Actually I don't understand why some are worried about testing different custom roms ... just flash away bro~! I tested more than 5 custom roms in a span of 2 weeks of owning the S2 ...

Just make sure you follow their instructions and it would be fine ... CWM + Ti = Win

Haih ... My S2 is in the kilang now =(

Is this a bug? most of the time my phone is screen off but the process still running
