Hi everyone,
Just got this great phone as gift. but facing a problem
Usually I don't use black theme with white font as it makes me kinda headache after staring for quite long. Is it possible to which the ui to white while font to black? Have been looking for some guide and not much there is for gingerbread. Those theme in the market doesn't change the ui colour unless those that i doesn't know of?
Anything that I can do to change it?

Try using a different launcher. I'm using ADW launcher EX and it can change background and font colors to any colors you like smile.gif

Just made up my mind yesterday of getting the "G" version since I prefer orginal SME set, reduced heat issue and better lasting battery to compromise with the slightly lower CPU performance biggrin.gif

I have another question about rooting...

1.) Will it void the warranty of the phone?
2.) Let's say if ICS will be launched next month, do I need to root the phone again after upgrading to ICS?
*
Yes, technically warranty is void if you root.
Yes, usually you will need to root back after flashing official rom.

I have my Mom's phone with me now to play around.
She just bought it yesterday.
That shop really tried to rip us off on many levels.
1st the AVG Anti-Virus.
He also told my Mom that GNote costs RM2500 cos my Mom was actually more interested in that but thank God thought that the price difference was too much so just went with S2.
I just found out that the price of Note is actually just RM2300.

-How do I check the current version and how do I upgrade it?
Or is the shop provide with the most up to date version already?

-The camera quality is quite disappointing or am I supposed to fiddle around with the settings first? It is grainy.

-In the first post I didn't see any list of Anti-Virus'. Could anyone recommend a free AV? Or is it better to just purchase the AVG? Problem is that both me and my Mom don't have a Credit Card. Have to ask my Dad for one.

-Anything else I should update or install that is really useful in order to make it a better phone? A USD1-5 dollar shouldn't be a problem as long as it's really useful and important. My Mom's not gonna jailbreak/root the phone btw.

Many thanks in advance

you can check at setting>about phone>android version
You can upgrade by installing kies. Info on kies on first page.

grainy? in what condition did you take the pic? never took a pic that come out grainy before.

anti-virus I don't use, so can't really recommend any.

Oh look Documents to Go is free on Amazon today. Those that have not tried it should get it. For me its the best office app on android. Remember Amazon is only giving the unlock key. You still need to install the main app.

For those who are working edi really no excuse to get pirated apps man, especially those that only cost a few ringgit... nowadays eat one simple meal also can buy two apps edi >.<

it does feel good when you're using an app that you paid yourself, especially when the app is very useful you will feel that you actually deserved it... not sure if anyone understand the feeling I'm trying to describe lol

that day i went over and bought paper camera (without any trial version), thought wanna try it out and get a refund but end up keeping it lol quite fun and very simple design..
*
+1 know the feeling. don't use 2k phone if can't pay for the apps wink.gif

I took the pic in the house. Just a random pic.
It was set to super fine.
PDA : I9100GDZKJ2
PHONE : I9100GDZKJ2
CSC : I9100GOLCKJ2
Build Info : Fri Oct 21 19:47:33 KST 2011

I assume my Mom's is a G version?
G is supposedly a little bit inferior to the normal S2 right?

I guess I'll uninstall the AV.

Another problem that I notice is when it's on the home screen and I try to go to another homepage, the screen tilts. Is that supposed to be normal?

Many thanks in advance
*
For the pic maybe not enough lighting.

I think yours is the latest version. Is it 2.3.6?

Mine is non g version and it doesn't tilt while scrolling through homepage. Don't know about g version though unsure.gif

Hi guys,

Should I get a screen protector for my S2?
I heard from my friend that the screen protector makes the touch sensitivity decrease by a little. Is this true?
*
Don't know decrease or not since didn't feel that much difference after putting on the SP. I use sgp crystal clear btw. Not that fond of it though.

It's up to you to put or not. I use it for my peace of mind smile.gif
