QUOTE(pikachu01 @ Dec 20 2011, 08:14 PM) Yeah, too bad Intel hired me as a Microprocessor Design Engineer already Is it much smoother with ThunderBolt! ?  It should work without problems. Be sure to have a nandroid backup handy before flashing, just in case  Nope. Just install the main CWM and all the addons in one go, then reboot. are u serious?

Hmm... seems likes some galaxy nexus users also has the same android os battery drain as some of us here. Could it be the same bug? Has Samsung STILL yet to fix it? http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sa...-miss-something? Added on December 21, 2011, 9:37 amQUOTE(pikachu01 @ Dec 21 2011, 09:16 AM) Yup  The first night of using this thunderbolt script,the standby battery drain wasn't much! Only about 3% battery drain overnight! I haven't got that type of results in a while already  so to me,thunderbolt scripts work really well This post has been edited by TheLaptopDudeGuy: Dec 21 2011, 09:37 AM

QUOTE(zatto90 @ Dec 21 2011, 05:16 PM) oh really? that`s really nice2.  then i should stop  on galaxy nexus. wait for ics. yeay s2 FTW!  But there's a chance that Samsung would skin ICS for galaxy s2 and make it exactly like our current TW,and we don't get the awesomeness of ICS anymore from official rom. This is based on the fact that the leaked alpha build of ICS for s2 is skinned to TW till it doesn't even look like ICS,looks like our current TW. But its still alpha, so hopefully Samsung will stick with vanilla ICS Added on December 21, 2011, 5:21 pmQUOTE(antt00 @ Dec 21 2011, 05:19 PM) Yeah SGS2 on ICS should be better or comparable with galaxy nexus.  That's if ICS is properly optimized for exynos and Mali. If its not... nexus probably be better This post has been edited by TheLaptopDudeGuy: Dec 21 2011, 05:21 PM

QUOTE(zatto90 @ Dec 21 2011, 05:28 PM) agreed.  nexus use the same dual core 1.2ghz as SGS2. dont understand why nexus have only 5mp camera while S2 8mp. another cheap win for S2  Added on December 21, 2011, 5:30 pmwhich mean ics is a battery drain monster? hurmm  Actually,galaxy nexus uses different processor from galaxy s2. Galaxy s2 uses exynos, while the g version uses a slightly older version of the chip found in the galaxy nexus

QUOTE(ashwin1234 @ Dec 21 2011, 07:24 PM) Oh yeah, and I found out how to make my phone display the time permanently like on the Nokia N9. The clock moves around to prevent burn-in's and a double-tap on the screen brings me to the lockscreen  How did you do it? Also, wouldnt it drain the battery?

QUOTE(ashwin1234 @ Dec 21 2011, 07:33 PM) Use the NoLED app and make it display the time permanently, and cut down the screen brightness to save power. Not too sure if the power consumption is much higher. Will need to test and see. Power consumption will be my main worry

Added on December 22, 2011, 11:34 amhttps://market.android.com/details?id=com.a....mobilesecurityThe amount of function in this app is very interesting and useful. Seem like a very complete security app. Basically it combines function of a few apps I am already using now. And its free. You actually use antiviruses?

The leaked ICS build for galaxy s2 is quite unstable,suggest u downgrade back to GB since the leaked build not ready for daily usage yet(its still alpha)
