Lol for me no much difference between 800 n 1.2 lol. Both allow me to open up big excel n PDF file without lag. Dual core here we r talking about.

Yeap yeap . Significant reduction in heat production. I'm quite happy withmysetting now. Can very reach 4 hrs of screen on even more with single charge.

Ghosting and gradient banding (horizontal/vertical lines) are common issues with SAMOLED+ screens actually. Try supercurio's voodoo screen app for the SGS2, helps a lot with the lines.

Some people might notice and some might not, it's very fine wave like lines. If it's VERY OBVIOUS then it's a screen defect, not banding.

Oooooooh, the Original Samsung 2000mah back cover is impeccable... BSE skins cut for the original SGS2 battery cover fits perfect too. Now using with my walnutt bumper.

Now I can type far better with one hand compared to while having the huge bump of the Momax expowers at the back. The longevity of the expowers cannot be denied though.

Let's see if the Sammy 2kmah is an acceptable compromise between form and function. Hopefully it would get me through the day tomorrow without needing a battery change.

It's because some people like deodexed (moddable) stock. YOU decide what to toss out and what to retain on device (through TiBu), and what themes to apply (through VillainThemes/Ninjamorph/Metamorph/Self modding).

Other roms do this for you. Or add (sometimes unneasecary) stuff (like themes or whatnot) that may be good or may cause issues. Some force modems/kernels down your throat as well - something you might or might not appreciate (VR - since 2.4 - autoinstalls Ninpo's 2.0.5 kernel. But considering it's rock solid, it's an acceptable compromise).

Thus in the past months, the only strange behaviour/FCs I've got while using VR was the result of my own modding or kernel conflicts (while testing Siyah).

Otherwise, VR for me has been rock solid stable. That's the main draw of VillainRom. A solid, moddable base to start from.

Or you can go kitchen and customise your own. Otherwise for me Touchwiz ROMs are generally the same thing, plus minus whatever that suits your (or the ROM chef's) needs.

But remember, what's thrown away might not be as easily restored, unless you're the one doing the throwing away (TiBu can keep backups of whatever you remove).

AOSP ROMs (CM7, Insanity, Oxygen/DevNull) and MIUI however, are totally different though and are not subject to this discussion.

very useful summary there.

Case is about what, RM10? IEMs are RM400, smallest dual dynamic driver IEMs ever lol (also the most I've ever paid for headphones since my now sold TF10).

They're no match for the Radius DDM for pure SQ, but it's arguably a better package for mobile users (smaller, better isolation/comfort, slightly cheaper). And it's liquid as heck.

Plus they actually help the SGS2 sound bearable lol. Even sans impedence adaptor (which I used with my Eternas to, ehm, deepen the sound).

Well said. I got bored after 2 months so I flash a custom ROM, it's cool now. And we also have freedom to edit code inside any apps. Like my phone got echo problem when using back case, I edit the code inside Phone.apk and problem solved.

yea.. and i cannot stand seeing the same homescreen on the ip4 everyday.. doh.gif
