hi bro any recommended 3rd party brand of battery to buy?

i am currently looking at 2000mah capacity and hopefully do not require to replace the back plate for the battery..

please advice...
*
I'm thinking theres no 2000mah battery that doesnt require a seperate back plate. Even if you find higher capacity batteries that are slightly higher than stock battery(andida),some are saying the mah stated on the box is exaggerated. So i'm thinking if you want to get a higher capacity battery and use a case at the same time,just buy samsung or 3rd party higher capacity battery and buy sgp neo hybrid ex biggrin.gif its bumper casing so those bigger back plates will fit,silicone cases might still fit too,but no guarantees

He is still developing. KJ3 just came out yesterday. Now he join roms for both device into 1, so i think development and support will continue.

I thought KI3 would be his last update for cognition. I'm too lazy to flash another rom,later got problem,need troubleshoot this and that,and need to go through some battery cycles,guess i'll be sticking with checkrom v2,still have no urge to update it as checkrom plus siyah 2.1.1 working fine for me.

Maybe if i am sick of checkrom,i'll switch to cognition biggrin.gif

Just a question, I am on non-g version with stock rom, with CF-root, can I replace with siyah kernel, any problems? It will not wipe my phone right? Thanks!

Flashing siyah kernel will not wipe your phone

i'm a moderate user only meh. at least it proves that SGS2 can have a long standby time. after this want to try achieve at least 4-5 hours of screen on time.
*
I can barely last 2 days with 1650mah battery, at the end i left 10%. screen on time only about 2-3 hours is that good? sad.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!
So far no encounter wakelocks yet.. will update you after further monitoring smile.gif
*
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

you are using data connection also right? that should be good enough i think. as long as you can get that kind of screen on time, 2-3 hours is good. the best i've heard from xda was 6 hours..
*
i dont on data anymore.

? 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 dont really like alphabetical, i like to sort my pages according to wat type of apps. games go into a few pages, utilities go into seperate pages, u get wat i mean?

I find 2 things that frequently cause my device to hang with siyah.
1) 100mhz - i have stop using this freq
2) ondemand/ondemandx governor - also stop using it. Now testing lazy governor which is only available on 2.2

Edit: Go launcher can create folder in the app drawer if you want to sort your apps/games

maybe i'll try go launcher agn, but tw is satisfying my needs, so no plans on switching biggrin.gif
