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 sweat.gif

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. smile.gif

I'm on Siyah 3.1.2 now and observing.

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.

1. you can select, copy and paste texts that you are typing... I don't think however you can do that for texts like i.e. in the browser or other documents.

2. no need for buttons. touch the text, options will appear and you should be able to follow the instructions.

3. the LED of course can be used as a flashlight

1)You can highlight the words you want to by long pressing on the word, there should be two arrows, then you can drag them to where you want
2)Do the same method as 1), then select copy
3)You can download a flashlight app from the play store, its simple, just search flashlight and download the first one then you're good to go

1) yes, of coz. if browser text, you might need to press and hold the text then the indicator will pop out.
2) hold/press>press indicator>indicator will spilt to two, then you move the indicators to highlight the text, then the copy button will come out.
3) yes

#1 and #2 can't be done in iphone, #3 i dunno, so dont consider it tongue.gif

Maybe he was using last outdated iOS? I know that iOS 1 and 2 didn't have this feature. Correct me if I'm wrong.
