Currently I'm on siyah 3.1rc6, not sure is safe or danger version. Which one is the safest way to reflash this kernel? Usually I will flash with recover mode + wipe so I think my previous flash with this method will be my last

The mounting and front camera FC issues only exist in AOSP/AOKP rom if not mistaken, if you are on sammy's rom shouldn't encounter these.

Hi All
I interested to get this Samsung Galaxy S II. I am currently using Nokia E72, never use touch screen before, I would like to know is the below features/functions available if I buy the Samsung Galaxy S II? (1) While texting (sms) a paragraph, can i select (Highlight) a portion of Text I typed ? Example: Hello, how are you doing? I'm going to London this weekend. From the above example, can I select to highlight the Red Bold words only ? (2) In my Nokia E72 qwerty keyboard, I usually press & hold "CTRL" + "C" to copy the words. Can I do this in Samsung Galaxy S II ? If cannot, how to do this in a shortest way to Copy the selected Words ? (3) My existing Nokia E72, I press & hold the Space button, the LED Flash will lighted & act as a Torch Light when I'm in the dark. Can Samsung Galaxy S II do the same using its LED Flash ? Appreciate if someone can help find out. Thanks in advance. |
