how i know? haha. mine is non g.
do cwm backup then flash it and see.
if any thing happen can restore. 99% safe la.

this wont format the internal memory.

if want brand new, go settings>backup and reset> factory reset, tick the box that says want to format internal storage as well.

No. S2 different. Is the 3 layer memory.
Internal memory treated as internal sd card.
Factory reset only delete system memory.

This is s2 thread. Enter wrong house? Haha.

Stock Samsung 4.0.4 may have super brick Bug. Better don't upgrade or flash any rom related to it.

If you are using non g.
So easy to root and have cwm recovery by flashing Siyah kernel.
Then you can flash custom ROM like cyanogenmod 10.

Enjoy project butter and jellybean. Where the improvement is very noticeable.

Use color note. Can sync online wit Google account.
Can archive, check list function.
Best note app. Theme able too.

Or use evernote. It's more popular. But I prefer color note.

4.2? Or you mean 4.1.2?
Google release the code to aosp already?

Is photo sphere working?

Or u can just flash any litening rom using Odin.
Auto root and cwm.

use cm10 la with their stock kernel. very good
you got back your phone so fast. just few days only you say it bricked.

i using cm10 and its fantastic.
the only small bug is srt off effect dont work when wifi is off. minor cosmetic issue only.

battery life good, smooth, no hang and no force close.
most importantly 100% no SOD.
the bugs even less than cm9. very satisfied.
yesterday nightly even include a new cm style file manager.

nexus device is not all flowery.
the fast update that you expecting,
its only for full stock rom, even modify a battery icon on stock rom also will rejected by OTA.

if you run paranoid android, CNA, or cm10.
when new update come, also need to wait for the custom rom to develop. hence a delay.
the first cm10 nightly for nexus7 cant even boot. certain version of PA roms caused big laggyness,
bugs such as swapped nav bar when change orientation. battery drain.
and custom roms on nexus device also not bug free one, same like s2.

for S2, can choose samsung rom or aosp rom.
for nexus, its really just aosp rom.
+the lack of sd card and small storage is really really sad.

so far really no android phone perfect. duno what to change to.
stick with s2 until it spoil la.

the android 4.2 camera kindda sucks, at least on my S2.

the stitching is terrible.
and after using the camera, my phone cant enter deep sleep.
always stuck with wake lock.

so today i tried the new camera 4.2 form xda.
but its still the same bad stitching quality.
and worst it dont fully generate the whole sphere.
and wake lock problem still there.

no one complain in xda. i think its my issue.
stock cm10 nigthly.

Yup I use this one too.

There are several issues with it.

1. Camera viewfinder is zoomed in a bit, so cnt predict the final pic size accurately.

2. When rotate camera from landscape to portrait, it does a silly rotating animation that is excess n not required.

3. Photo sphere is just awful no matter how slow n how many times I tried. I it doesn't appear as a nice seamless panaroma. It's like a horribly stitched broken pic. Check the Engadget review of nexus 4&10, they complain the photo sphere was terrible as well.

Due to above problems, i change back to stock camera.

Already got in XDA under apps and themes section for s2.
Only for Samsung based rom.

No.

I give him a day before he regrets and swap back to jb;-)

Cm9 also feel slightly laggy compared to cm10, tw more no hope.

Try cm10, its always more polish compared to aokp.

you want delete all or not one?
if wan 100% brand new phone, factory reset, and format internal memory.
all gone, become like new.

if just factory reset, but no format internal memory, all your pics, songs, etc still have, some remnants of apps data will exist in internal memory although the app is not there.

all phone can read chinese,
to write, install google pinyin ime app.

nothing to do with rom.

if you din do titanium backup, your progress is lost.

Aokp got super brick bug?

Thing is, sometimes micro SD also corrupted.
My old Kingmax one corrupted for the o reason twice.
Current SanDisk one still working good.
I often send titanium backup files to my pc just for added security.
