AOSP rom or siyah kernel huh??

Is there pre-rooted stock ICS for the I9100G?

how to check online?

Wanamlite and siyah. Hehehe... well, it's not even an issue apparently. In fact, quite beneficial now that I know

You press your home button too many times is it?

The Mysterious Inversion System issit? I ACTUALLY wanna turn it off as my browser can do it fine on it's own (ICS+), and my entire suite of apps is AMOLED-optimised (aka. Emblackened) - so accidental inversion = whiteout = not fun.

Plus I rely on double clicks for PreHome so invert gets "accidentally" activated quite a few times when I DON'T want it to, which is a PITA.

guys, what is meant by 'zip-alligned'?

What happen if zip is not alligned?

Duh.... obviously.. hehe

Well, when you do find a way to toggle it, share please

In short: Android apps (APKs) are simply compressed archives. Zipaligning arranges the contents of the archives in proper order so that it can run faster and eat less memory (RAM).

@Dark_Angel: Will do. Currently the only way of doing so is changing kernels, as IINM only Siyah has this.

Run faster might be a bit of a stretch. Better RAM consumption for the app is correct though.

yeah.. hope his wife complain so he can remove the feature..

actually the direct call is not good at all for your health.
usually when i make a phone call, i dont put it near my ear,
wait for it connect only put to ear.

the initial moment you make a call the signal is the strongest and most hazardous.
that is the time you don't want it to be near your brain.

go to Settings>call>call alert, and tick answer vibration.
this way, after dailing, you dont have to look at the screen also.
when the person pickup, your phone will vibrate, just put it to your ear then.

by the way, if you're using hancent sms, just tap the person face, or the call icon at the top to call that person.
not that hard.

I guess in computer world, it's equivalent to 'Defrag' programme. So how should I align the zip? Got software to do so?

That's true. Thanks.

Use Thunderbolt.

Not exactly, as once you zipalign, you don't need to zipalign again until you update the APK (and the update APK is coincidently not zipaligned).

I read the first page of this thread about the "maximise battery life" section.

1) What do they mean by batteries with fuel gauge?
2) Some people say that frequent charging is bad for the battery, which is not what the section in the first page says. Which advice should I follow? Several partial discharges with frequent recharges OR Full discharges and full recharge?I'm totally confused
3) Is overnight phone charging good for the battery?


EDIT: Does partial discharges also include using phone until battery less than 10% ?

I went to Pikachu's Thunderbolt link. But my S2-G is not under his list. Can G-version use this?

Yes. Updated the thread to reflect this

Pikachu, Antt00 and others (thank you~ )

as a newbie, can you help me to understand the phone system architecture?

Kernel = like a BIOS in computer, the most important thing.
ROM = modified version of Windows, like Professional, Home, Student edition.
Launcher = modified version of Windows Start button
Widget = mini program like Gadget in Windows 7.
Script = ??

Correct me of the above if I'm wrong. Wikipedia gives too jargon-ish explanation. Can help to put things into perspective?
