as Uncle Benny mentioned - there is no best one! Much like there is no dragon scroll for the Kungfu Panda. You need to know what you want and read thru those ROM features.

anyway, I flashed WanamLite 1.2. I just need a deodexed stock rom with init.d support to do certain mods. No need all the fancy add-on, tweaks or themes.

the idling battery life of the Note II is not less impressive. Fully charged to 100% around 11pm yesterday night. Wake up this morning at 7:15am, the battery life still stand at 100%. But wifi & 3G off during the night. Only Alarm is on.

It is still at 99% now.

it is TS's job, not MOD's.

great!! sometime XDA thread is quite tedious to read thru. Your guide is more spot-on. Will do the memory swap when i got the 64GB.

so i can consider i bought at a steal at RRP of RM2,299 on Oct 18 (before launch) at JB for my grey SME set.

wow... din know that, my next TV must be a Samsung then.

btw, guys, please spoiler the photos lah. Already endless requests since previous thread but you guys still......

went to car accessories shop 2 days ago and saw the boss was applying screen protector to his new Note II when i step into the shop.

I have been using Tab 7.7 after i sold my Note earlier before the Note II arrived. It cannot fit as a phone - not practical at all to carry around, especially for guys who do not carry a bag normally. But Tab 7.7 is much better in playing games and watching videos/magazines, etc due to its nice big screen.

btw, Ch8 singapore is currently airing a new Chinese drama series on 9pm - most of the smartphones used are Galaxy Note. Can see the gigantic Note all over the place - maybe Samsung is one of the sponsor. Can't really believe the Note looks so big on screen.

my sis has just got a Note 10.1 from DiGi yesterday. My wife is thinking of getting one too after she gets her CNY bonus.

haven't got chance to play with it yet coz we do not stay together, only have gathering during weekend. She was actually asking me about Ipad last weekend. So I ask her what is her purpose in getting Ipad. So in the end, after my poisoning, she was very happy that she got her dream device - a big tablet (but not as bulky as her Asus laptop) that can use a Pen to draw, has phone function, can connect to external display, has external storage, can surf on the go...bla bla bla.... She is an art lecturer and good in drawing, the Note 10.1 is the perfect match for her usage.

**I think we are a bit off-topic already.

thanks for the tip - need to pin this in first posts. btw, miss 1 step - need to Mount R/W first before renaming.

Root by itself will not have any performance gain. It is those custom roms, kernals, whatever that improve the performance.

yes, using an Android without root is just using 70% of the potential of the devices. I dun find custom roms is really necessary but Root to me is a must - all my android devices are rooted on day 1.

Recommended link for more info on Root, etc - >>XDA Note II forum<<. Read thru the relevant thread thoroughly, if there is any more doubts, feel free to ask here.

you should have open it and test until satisfied then only pay the money. Normally as soon as you leave the shop, hard to request for 1-to-1 exchange. I bought 2 S3 previously for my wife and brother, one of the S3's home button is not responsive on press. Immediately request to exchange for another set on the spot.

yes, i think "Likes" will give no notification.

aluminium is metal leh.

the battery life is getting better and better with each recharge cycle. I purposely charge to full and use until the phone's battery run dry until auto off then only recharge it to full again in 1 shot before unplug it from charger.

Already 16hrs and now it is still 89% left since 11pm yesterday night. I dun use it much actually since working in office today but all the normal sync and 3G/WiFi is turned on. Would be at least 20-30% gone for previous Note even not much usage like this.

errrmmmm..... i think you are from the future. 8.15pm today?

titanium grey, anyone?

it is already many reports in the Note's thread that magnetic case will potentially damage the phone or at least coz some malfunctions.
