First of all, when you buy, the shop will send the sms and activate for you. Did you receive that?

Try this:
To Check Warranty Period for ori SAMSUNG phone:
PC<SPACE>IMEI NUMBER to 33802 <celcom user> or 62002 <digi / Maxis user>
OR call SME Hot-line 1800-88-9999

if you can live without ics, then no need to flash, wait for kies update.
if you wanna tryi ics so bad, you need to learn odin and stuff.

Yay new thread laugh.gif

Erm anyone do "high end gaming" on their s2 like gameloft games or dead space etc?

Feels like I've dropped a tad of performance when coming to GB. Ever slightly so less frames. Nenamark seems to agree with me, I generally get a score of about 46-48. On CR6 highest I got was 54 on lulz NEAK, and generally at least above 40.

Could be placebo effect gaming wise, but always felt aosp ROM is heavier than samsung ROM, which could be affecting it.

my nenamark2 score is 51fps.. omega v11 + siyah 3.1rc6..

so it seems the i9300 or widely rumoured to be the s3 beats the iphone4s in terms of performance, going at 92.2 frames per second using

GLBenchmark2.1 with Egypt off-screen 720p

now i went and check it out myself, by downloading the app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...k.glbenchmark21

and selecting Egypt offscreen, details about it shows that it will force a 720p(1280x720) display no matter wut resolution your phone is, my setup is ondemand 200mhz-1.2ghz and gpu with 3 steps up 160mhz, 247mhz to 400mhz . and my score is 83 frames per second
while iphone 4s's graphics is at a merely 72.7 frames per second, awesome graphics my ass  laugh.gif
*
wah.. what voltage you put to overclock to 400mhz?? I tried 1050 but hang.. cry.gif

my current score is egypt 62fps, pro 87fps.. both offscreen.. blush.gif

Stable? Depends on how you see it smile.gif

For me, I am still with Checkrom V6 and loving it. Ain't changing to ICS for the time being. thumbup.gif

was using checkrom v6 (2.3.6) previously.. then hydrog3n (4.0.4 i think), then omega v11 (4.0.3)..

imho.. in terms of smoothness..

hydrog3n > checkrom v6 > omega v11..

dunno lah.. just my personal opinion.. changed to omega to test some hdmi out cause hydrog3n does not support it.. tongue.gif

For a moment I didn't notice your GPU OC, then realised it must have been due to that. laugh.gif

But yeah, the rumour one I posted in previous page I think, basically Mali-400 @ 400mhz is the rumour. Meh. Kinda like Nexus, old graphics card but cranked up. Was saying also might as well we OC our Mali to produce same results. Looks almost there. Proly if you crank to 1.4ghz cpu can achieve same score oredi

Hmm interesting hmm.gif

I do think hydrogen is smoother than CR6, but it's slower. To me at least

yes alieamin is from there. oh working ah? just like GB? i was scared to simply flash. note nothing special trust me, my dad using a note, its like an oversized s2 but its more prone to lagginess becoz of the 720p display. easily it will lag if i have like 6 scrollable news widgets with 30 entries each in go launcher. can feel the jerkiness

shyt
was runnin out of things to play
normally sep has the eq to run the software
case in point
a galaxy phone
when u lock it with pin or passcode
even if u enter recovery, flash via odin or anythin else
you still need the pin or passcode
otherwise
you hav no way to enter the phone
but sep has the eq needed to run it

shyt
note abit lag ar
really need to wait for s3
thinkin of letting go both s2 n get 2 note lolz
need think think more

omega v11 is based on stock ICS XWLP8..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489197

one thing I noticed in GB vs ICS (for my S2 anyway)..
in GB, when first time access app drawer or go to manage apps, the app list comes out laggy (cause I have quite a number of apps installed)..
but in ICS, it's much smoother..
not sure if my explanation is clear enough.. blush.gif

Ah which explains. My friend gets similar nenamark to me on CM9.

Only sammy ROMs give better graphics score it seems hmm.gif

Yeah true, did notice app manager on first load is smooth on ICS smile.gif

Ah, thanks for the feedback.

Then could be due to aosp ROMs producing lower graphics performance. You on hydrogenics?

Hmm new Siyah...maybe gonna hang on to it for a while, let Voku run abit and see good or not laugh.gif

no i'm on ics wanamp 11.1 + siyah 3.1 laugh.gif so the missing 6fps is a mystery unless the i9300 is clocked at 1.8Ghz then it might explain
