it wont be long until u have the urge to root/flash it. when u have friends around u showing off their rooted and flashed custom rom features, there u go i just hopped from Lite'ning Rom 6.1 to CynogenMod 7.1 about 2 days ago. cheers

I believe directd sells AP and also SME sets : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1943509&hl=
As u can see in his post, "Price:RM1699 (SME) or RM 1619 black, RM 1749 white(Brandstar) RM 1899 white (SME)"
Go for the Rm1699 black (SME) or Rm1899 white (SME) if u want original sets. check the phone like what Joey Christensen has mentioned. Cheers.

well if u do some reading in XDA developer forums to check out custom roms, i am sure u will get urself tempted pretty soon

question 1:
well the contacts in sgs2 is very confusing for me too. but what i do is, i dont sync facebook contacts whenever i log in to facebook. i have a full backup of contacts in gmail, and in my simcard. i just exported my contacts from gmail to a vCard format, put into my sdcard and import them into phone contacts using the import/export feature. then go to 'display options' in contacts, onli view contacts from phone. displaying too many contacts (phone + simcard + google) will cause headaches only, at least to me.

question 3:
if ur not a heavy web surfer or app downloader, i suggest u switch to data network to 2g for whatsapp or some facebooking. after that u will see the difference

i was on stable version then flashed to nightly #80. everything works fine for me. perhaps u had some problem with wiping cache. u should retry with wipe cache & factory reset its a really nice rom!

btw whats TB?

i'm using Cynogenmod 7.1 stable when it came out, then the day after that i flashed the nightly #80. if u can see if xda forum, some users experience problems after they switch to CM from other custom roms but some dont have problems. as for me i switched from Litening rom 6.1 to cynogen. make sure u follow the steps carefully and wipe cache.

I dont face any problems like they say but i would suggest u to do some reading in the xda cynogenmod 7.1 thread before u flash. certain problems faced by the users can be fixed but some cannot. some tried flashing 2 times to get it to work flawlessly (which i did too).

However im very happy with my nightly #80 wait til i find some critical problems with it first before i change rom. cheers

i'm using momax car charger. its usb so u can plug any usb cable to it to charge different phones. i find it good & cost around RM50+. cheers

just installed speaktoit assistant to my s2. the 'microphone' icon which we press before speaking, appears to be 'say' button in my app AND it is DISABLED!. cant press to speak. someone pls try installing it & see if it works?

can you try downloading speaktoit & see if the microphone button is disabled? mine is disabled. tried on 2 different galaxy s2 devices oso same case.

i'm using cynogenmod 7.1. it doesnt prompt me to choose any TTS on first time run. weird.

but its weird that i can use Vlingo but not Speaktoit. lol.

since i'm on cynogenmod without google apps, i tried to download google voice search from market. when i open, have to configure my email acc and need to go to google.com/voice to enable something? then i get this error:
Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future.

GOSH!

i do have vlingo but i was just skeptical that i can use vlingo but not speaktoit assistant with the problem i've mentioned. hmmm..

EDIT: haha i googled for google voice apk n installed it manually since cynogenmod removed it. now Speaktoit works! it was powered by google voice search, no wonder i cant get it to work at first. thanks to all anyway

did u both follow the steps given by cynogen carefully? coming from stock rom or other custom rom? i'm using cynogenmod 7.1 now. first, i got stuck at bootscreen too so i tried booting to CWM using the volume down + power button, then wipe data & wipe cache, then flash from the zip file again.

flashing twice is not a requirement for cynogenmod. some managed to get it to work on first flash. those who cant get it to work will definitely try flashing another time it could be due to some customization is previous custom roms and not wiped properly before installing cynogenmod. dont worry u can try to wipe cache & reflash it until it works for u. it worked for me

lol yup google is always our best friend. its not easy to use it cause we need to fake english accent to get it to work haha. well just wanted to try to play with something unusual

yup considering it is free and similar to siri, it is already quite good

hi CHEESE! its really u! see if u can guess who i am but its already quite obvious aint it?
btw flash Cynogenmod 7.1! it has an option to turn off camera shutter sound and then turning off media volume shuts the autofocus sound up too.

haha sorry the first thing 'noisy' came to my mind was the shutter sound. brain wasnt really functioning well after working whole day & staying up until so late

new stable mod as in updated today? i can only see the stable version dated 10/10/2011 which is the same first stable version released.

i've migrated from Cynogenmod 7.1 stable -> nightly #80 -> nightly #87. never had any blackouts before. only force closes but after using the Dev Tool to fix permissions, works flawlessly now without any issues at all.

which version are u on? and did u follow the steps to wipe date/factory reset then wipe cache before flashing?

on nightly #87, it includes all the bug fixes needed since the stable version. solved the external sd card mounting issue as well as added usb on the go mounting, etc etc. Check here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2

u may give another try by wiping everything off, flashing back to stock rom, from there install CWM recovery and then flash CM7 again. this would be ur last resort but do remember to backup ur data. cheers

regarding fix permission, open ur Dev Tool and see got any options to 'Fix Permissions'? if dont have then try reading here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Troubleshooting) to see if u can find out what went wrong.

i have just edited my post above about fix permissions. perhaps u can try to see if u can fix ur problem from there. the fix permission thing really helped, i was about to go back to Lite'ning Rom 6.1 due to the force closing issues haha.

yeah go ahead and try it out. its seriously worth all the trouble! love my CM7! haha all the best man!
