Also it seems the new dark knight kernel is in collaboration with Gokhan's siyah. OMG seems like TXP rom all over again.

Anyhows, just like the iFags who think that 3.5 inches is the "perfect" screen size, I think that 5 inches is going TOO FAR, at least where smartphones are concerned.

I mean, it's a phone and I use my phone one handed while on the move A LOT (for phone stuff AND surfing, hence my sub 12hour battery life most of the time, even with extended batteries).

I can BARELY type single handedly as it is with the SGS2 woi, if I ever get the Note, I'll have to have BOTH my hands free before I can do anything - which is gonna cut my enjoice time by a considerable margin.

So no. Sticking with the SGS2 for now, and prolly until my Blue OLEDs die off. If I EVER get itchy for a larger screen, I'll jump to a tablet of some sort.

Only thing that's gonna make me even think of going anywhere else is a phone with full-stripe HD AMOLED screen (4.5 inches MAX) + properly implemented Wolfson DAC + 8MP++ BSI sensor -> specs I HOPED the GalNex would have, but it didn't either.

On other unrelated news, I dropped my SGS2 today. Hard. Against a tiled floor. Battery cover popped slightly open, but that's it. It remained alive through the entire ordeal too.

Managed to crack the el-cheapo bumper I was using near the DBT antenna hole though, oh well. Thankfully I plug all the antenna holes in ALL my cases with electrical tape (for some unknown reason it will ALWAYS fall to the ground that end first lol).

So, score two for my heavily armoured SGS2 (BSE skin overall + Glas/Estoc front + el-cheapo ebay bumper), zero for Uncle Newton. Fuuuh.

Yes, modem will affect data connection/WIFI/GPS.
Try flash back to previous modem file that is working good for you.
I find XXKI4 modem WIFI reception is weaker for me, XXKH3 is better.

anyone flash the new checkrom revolution v2?
how was it? any notice changed? 

Downloading CheckROM v2 now . Is it any better for those who have updated?

DO I need to do a full wipe and then flash it or can just flash over my 1.0?

I sorta gave up with KI4 after I got echos during phone calls and ran back to trusty old KH3.

Oh, and CWM modem flashing does have one dangerous potential side effect: EFS corruption. I went through that at least once already.

One question here, is the web browser fast for surfing Internet?

Because I always surf the net. It is more convenient to use SGS-2 to surf if it is fast.

Thanks.

Browser speed of SGS-2 being compared to .....e.g. iPhone 4/4S.

Thanks.

I did, but that doesn't restore my bookmarks...

Let say...........Google chrome browser on PC vs SGS-2 browser

Which is faster? In your opinion. Since i can't deny that google chrome is fast on my PC.

Thanks!

hi, i'm tryign to make the google map navigation to work. followed the link in page one and then tried but failed to installed. Any work around this? i think its related to country setting. Thanks for helping.

Are you rooted? If you are just delete Maps using TiBu, copy the modded maps.apk into system/app (make sure you've set filesystem to r/w), set permissions and restart.

And IDK about the 1st page tut, but the modded onwhere maps are now up to ver 5.11.0 already last I checked.

im still confuse, after reading some of the guides and youtube videos, some ppl say need to flash insecure kernel then only flash custom rom, but some ppl said no need flash insecure kernel, just directly flash to the custom rom, how oh? 

Problem is he won't have cwm to flash most latest custom rom. Only one i know that flash through odin is outdated lite'ning. It would be easier to download <10mb cf kernel to get cwm than 300mb lite'ning rom.

So my usual advice is flash cf root kernel then flash whatever rom you want.

what app u guy use to kill task behind background?

there is this weird icon on my statusbar, can anybody identify what it is?
