i tot u using CM?  laugh.gif

CM sau pei edi after i tried checkrom lol.. guess i'm not loyal afterall
what's good compare to CM7:
- much better battery life
- support tvout
- support ntfs thumb drive (though still buggy and require manual work)
- my favourite feature in CM7, the notification toggle bars is in checkrom too, though cannot reorder the toggles
- customizable extended power menus (choose from a bunch of options)
- better stock video player
- easily mod the camera to support volumn button shutter and low battery camera hack, the CM7 camera looks ugly also and video recording less smooth
- SMOOTH in everything
- default sms app still better, with sms notification appear in screen that you can 'slide to open sms'
- can use any kernels unlike CM7
- many useful mods in kitchen dont need to search in between forums and forums
- arcade emulator (tiger arcade in particular) runs smoother compare to CM7

what i miss in CM7:
- the ring lock screen
- able to stop app via long-press back button
- permissiosn management that can block any app from accessing certain permission built in (don't need seperate app) i think this is the best feature i miss from CM7
- swipe away notifications

overall, pros more than cons smile.gif combine checkrom with go launcher (best launcher evarrrr) is a perfect match!

ha, need you to check whether it has any partial wakelock issue or not. i also got confuse from system awake and partial wakelock. last time i saw, my device was screen off but the system was awake..

*
So far no encounter wakelocks yet.. will update you after further monitoring smile.gif

did you install directly after download it thru kitchen? What i did before was install any app from kitchen thru recovery mode manually. everything is ok for me.

i install directly thru kitchen wor, but i'm on 3.1.1 la... kitchen new version too so maybe something is fixed?

agree on installing manually through recovery much safer though

tried go launcher before, rearranging icons in application drawer was a NIGHTMARE. things kept moving to the previous page and when i moved it to the correct page, another app went to the previous page  doh.gif
*
? why need to rearrange icons in app drawer, there's a sort -> by alphabet feature. Every time a new app is installed it auto add in the correct place with a 'new app' tag on the icon... save me all the hassle of sorting O_O on TW everytime i install a new app i need to manually sort it sad.gif haha totally different experience compare to use even though using same thing duno why...

btw i put scrolling vertically (continuous), wonder if that's the reason.. so it flows continuously don't have the issue you facing smile.gif

I think you need to look in kitchen for removed samsung apps. Just copy those apk you want and drop into system/app. Don't multitask more than 6 things at a time.  tongue.gif

My cpu very choosy one la. I give up and just stick to 200 mhz.

icic.. scare install back all the samsung apps then all the nonsense app also come back >.< i didn't multitask more than 6 things le... for example when i hold home button it now shows these 6: whatsapp,sysdump,phone,wifi settings,battery usage,data counter widget.. all not heavy background stuff also..

LOL. I see alot of people using and the thread on xda is a mess with people whining this and that. Was thinking of trying cognition. Maybe will stay.  tongue.gif I am still on 2.0, no time to upgrade yet.

i think all the popular roms out there, the only one i haven't tried is cognition... do write a review on it compare to checkrom if you happen to try smile.gif

get I9100 if you can find it, otherwise I9100G

I'm on I9100 and edi on icecream sandwich..
user posted image

ahaha just joking smile.gif it's the ICS theme only^^ but don't need to worry, I'm sure custom roms with ICS will surface first before the official ones, learn to flash custom roms fast.. that is if you're on I9100.. G version dun get much custom rom love yet..

But you can't change the taskbar icon, menu colors, etc.. Actually you can if you are rooted and know how.


Added on November 18, 2011, 12:21 am
The TI-OMAP chip in SGS2 is not to prepare it for ICS. Otherwise we will probably be one of the last to get it not the first. Its cos samsung cannot produce enough Exynos chipset. International SGS2 in important countries are still using Exynos chipset.

? go launcher support changing taskbar icon to any picture file wor
