I never test Franco kernel. When i was on ARHD I use James Bond kernel. Whern I switch to AOKP 4.0.3 since build 13 till 15 - I use Apex V5
Excellent battery life. Example on standby with 3G always on with hourly updates on my RSS and Tweeter this is the usage over 7 hours : 3 % ie about 0.4 %/hour. It is much better than the 1-1.5 % I have when on stock rom and stock kernel

My experience with Samsung service centers ( Plaza Berjaya) has been very good. They never bother as the phone was obviously rooted and flash with cook roms and I still get free FOC warranty services. ( 5 times , twice I sent in Tab on behalf of friend ) . Even one phone bootup with yellow triangle
My best experience was sending in to Spore Plaza Singapura my ex SGS ( AP set bought in KL) - they reflash rom for me FOC as phone soft brick and cannot go to even download mode

Dunno what happen last time but this morning I test, OK already - no issue at all

I use LIght Flow - works very well and offers good customization. Worth the money I paid for it

BUILD 15 : Don't have any serious bugs so far

build 15 - January 9
Bug fix: Center clock should function just like the right clock now (ie be pretty when you get messages, etc)
Bug fix: gps toggle not being updated on reboot
update long-press back to kill code (no haptic feedback on the virtual button, maybe I'll add it later)
Add a custom color tint picker for your nav bar buttons
Add rotation animation delay options (how long it will take before it rotates)
Add new toggle style - Zaphod-Beeble's buttons!
---- there are no toggle images included with the ROM at the moment, so in ROM Control if you select image for the toggle style it will NOT show, you need to flash his mod for now.
new Power Saver icons in power menu, thanks to mdeejay and Virtuous
ROM Control translations for many languages (thanks to all who submitted translations!)
Added airplane mode toggle
Added tethering toggle
Added silent toggle
Added vibrate toggle

Added on January 12, 2012, 6:40 pmROOT allows you to access system files. With this access you can install certain apps that need access to system files , eg Titanium Backup ( a restore-backup solution for apps n data), ADfree - eliminate those popping up ads, setcpu ( to set CPU speeds and voltage controls ), etc etc. It also will allow you to install custom roms which are generally more efficient than stock roms

You can refer to SGS II official thread post #5 where I had compile a short guide about it:

Added on January 12, 2012, 6:43 pmRIGHT ON ! If you are happy with the phone performance it is not really necessary
It is for those who want to squeeze more mileage out from their car ,

I applied the following mod to stock launcher : Got rid of the Google Search Bar releasing more space on homescreen . Now i can have 4X5 apps displayed. Just flash the zip file from recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385425

Replaced the search bar with the search logo at bottom which offers exactly similar function as Google search bar ( part of feature available from AOKP b15 rom )

I tested - CANNOT even detect the USB OTG cable

Thanks. Installed it - works beautifully ; could detect my USB 16GB thumb drive. It is another convenient feature

Smoothness and user experience is better than SGS II and Note. Only thing I dont like is the softer speaker tones and the position of the vol rocker

I find GNote vol rocker position is perfect for me - right at the top ; the chance you touch on it accidentally is rare. How I wish the G Nex volume rocker is at similar position as G Note

I bought Vol + specifically for it - but only select up to +7 since warning +8 ( Be Careful...) will be possibly harmful. It offers volume increase up to level +15. Don't see much improvement though up to +7

Best screen protector XO skins :XO Skins

Casing : many types available - just search in EBay from US$5 to US$40

Another very good file transfer thro Wifi on both phone and MAC is use the app : WiFi File Explorer - no need worry about Mac cannot detect phone nor the problems associated with KIES
AirDroid is another similarly good app to transfer files thro WiFi but I find is slightly slower

YES warranty void. There is actually nothing special about yakju build except you will get firmware updates faster directly from Google while non-yakju build you have to wait from Samsung

No solution at the moment as no yakjuxw build available for download yet. You'd need someone to dump the rom so that you can flash it
