Try clear your Messaging apps data.

Yeah, actually, even from the 1st Generation iPhone, all the theming and tweaking were already possible. Nothing much to shout about actually. A lot of it are just superficial tweaks.

Android still has many advantages, and the Play Store apps are catching up to the App Store's very quickly. Re: Android advantages other than changing themes, it's been gone through thousands of times before, so I won't bother elaborating.

I've missed a lot of calls without knowing until DIGI sent me a "missed calls" SMS. It was then that I realized this problem. It's not a problem with Samsung, it's the network's problem. I've tried with DIGI, Maxis and Celcom and also with other phones like iPhone, same thing.

So I'd still recommend leaving 3G on. Unless of course, you don't get a lot of incoming calls, in which case, it probably shouldn't matter. Just a heads up.

yes, everything have pros and cons. i used iphone 4 before, too much tweaks will slow down the phone.

Finally, I just finished all the world in Dungeon Hunter 3, Come on Gameloft, this is way to easy to win..

Really? Din notice this at all. Thanks for sharing.
I don't have data plan. I only on my 2g when I wan to send and receive mms.
So most of the time its off.

Added on April 10, 2012, 12:59 amI just figured out the BLN means back light notification, I saw this in check rom kitchen.
That's great to have, means the soft keys will shine if got miss call or message right?

Love to try it, but it says support certain kernals only.
I am using the original kernal from check rom. Din change any kernal. The check rom ori kernal support BLN or not? This is a super useful feature to have. Even my old Nokia x6 got this, miss this feature a lot,

lite'ning was a popular rom once.
then the developer MIA and no one know what happen.
then suddenly lite'ning rom is back with ics update.

latest nightly is out for CM9:



i'm still waiting for them to amend the camera storage thinggy. right now i'm using the camera ICS free edition to set external SDcard as the storage location.

Well there is your problem, you restored system apps. Don't do that unless you are sure what app they are and would not overwrite the rom original system apps.

Added on April 10, 2012, 7:58 amLitening was popular long time ago when SGS2 came out cos not much choice of rom then as well. Thats why the post count is high. The developer stop for quite sometime and return now with ICS roms.

By now there are so many other roms and choices. Especially AOSP/AOKP roms.

Added on April 10, 2012, 7:59 amIs the pinch to zoom included in SGS2? I am on AOKP now so cannot check.

Is it a must to install modem? Whats the function of it? I installed the cyanogenmod 9 to my sgs2. Didn't seem like much to me, except for the interface. and my calls are frequently dropped. not to mention there is no 3g. Anyone care to explain how to downgrade back to original ICS or to a better ROM?!

try flash different modem see may help

CM9 does not install modem, so your using whatever modem you were using on previous rom. CM9 does have 3G and my calls are not dropping not once. You may have done a bad flash.

Because lite'ning used to be famous. Nowadays, no more famous lo. The one mentioned here are the most famous one...

Ah that makes sense, it's like how on calls the E goes missing, but think if it's on H+ or whatever data can stay up. Generally goes down to GSM mode on calls anyways though.

Yeah would be a problem with phone getting massive whatsapp messages. Hmm but it does help with battery. Gah

Turkbey and Criskelo got ICS so those two are GB -> ICS developers.. lotsa experience..

Hydrog3n seems kindda new, but not that bad..

Just wait for CheckROM to hve ICS, they're one of the famous dev for GB custom ROMs..

Try out any ROM; Sensation, Litening, etc etc.. they're all different.. and if u decided to go back to GB can always head to CheckROM..

no wonder lar
when i flash cm without modem
very hard to get on data connection

ah... thanks for the answers. all very helpful here.

what's with you and the ics anticipators, just let them wait and wish la. dun tease them, kesian them. haha...

actually i do have a spare battery, and a portable charger.
but dont waste battery for no reason lo, can save then save lo. haha :-)

now about BLN, back light notification in checkrom kitchen,
it is worth/safe to use? hows the impact on battery life?

BLN didn't use much battery juice lor...so it safe to use it.
Like i said before bro., use your phone to its fullest. No need restrict everything. Enjoy it..battery kong..slap in your spare battery :-P
Be thankfull SGSII using removable battery and not like HTC One X. Hopefully SGS3 won't follow HOX on its un-removable battery features.
