Yeer I duwan root
I wan be well behaved S2 user

dorimanx 7.4.2 really is a battery saver..

im a heavy user and my battery's a little "kaput" already actually..

what i noticed:
with 7.4.2 -> about 1 hour of usage (now only 88%)
with the latest dorimanx kernels -> about 45 mins (already 75% battery left)

quite satisfied (for now.. will test few more days) as im a heavy user. at least can extend abit more without having to charge all the time.

Yes in XDA many mentioned Dori v7.42 is very easy on battery life. I was hunting for this kernel when i was with Jellybam.

Sifus may I ask something?
what is the pros and cons of rooting?
this might be very late but it's better than never wat right? Haha

Rooting in a nutshell gives u permission to mess around with your phone, which would otherwise be locked coz manufacturers don't want u messing with complex stuff and then screwing the phone.

If you go to post #3 of the front page, there's a whole post on rooting.

Among other things, you get to control data backup, install custom roms (which give you more features or different feel), install custom kernels (assuming kernel is done well, can give u performance and/or battery boost), use root apps that give you root functions (like apps that let you overclock, play around with voltages, do root functions like automatically killing apps n shiz), and a whole load of other stuff.

Gives you more....options to play around with

Read here..

How do you do the above? I've installed the latest version, but can't find this...

If you use aosp rom, everything is perfect.
User apps (stuff you install) are perfect, all will scale perfectly.
Aosp system apps scale perfectly as well. No distortion whatsoever.

But I use touch wiz rom, system apps will not scale, instead they get cropped.
Example: dialer,tw launcher & camera
Still usable just not nice looking.
I rarely use dialer, since I have speed dial in home screen, I use apex launcher, and camera jb+. So not an issue for me.
User apps scale perfectly.

The buildprop change is not permanent.
If u don't like the on screen keys, just delete the line and restart and the on screen keys will be gone. No harm at all.

It's just to spoof hide. Only in your device you cannot see. But other ppl can still see.
Its under PLUS -> Conversation Screen -> Header -> then scroll to the bottom.

Enable them and then set it to the same color code as your header.

tomorrow friday liao siyah kernel still not out yet
now i use pwoer saving option to underclock my phone
min 200mhz max 800mhz

Good to hear, I'll try that out as I'm currently on SpeedMod K3-32 and the wifi battery drain is terrible.
Never had good experience with Dorimax, what governor are you guys on to get good result?

im currently using stock from dorimanx.
didnt configure anything..

you should try 7.4.2, can really notice the difference in your battery life.

kindda sad with S2 HDMI out capabilities.
its performance is not consistent.
i'm comparing with ipad3 using its own hdmi adapter.

first downside is the ipad one no need external power, just connect adapter to ipad, and hdmi cable to adapter.
s2 one need plug in charger only work. and even with charger, it wont charge, and battery % will drop when use.
ipad one without charger, use for 1 hour, only drop 7%.

s2 cable syok syok will disconnect itself and takes 10seconds like that to connect back. if you touch it, very easy disconnect, so need to be very careful. even if never touch, if get notification, it will confirm disconnect. maybe not enough power or due to the vibration. ipad one can shake shake also wont disconnect, maybe old ipad connector so fat, makes it very secure.


for image quality. tried with various TV.
using the same image, and video, and hdmi cable.

on 1920x1080 tv,
ipad super smooth,image crystal clear,color vivid (like amoled quality) in everything (video,picture,apps,games).

S2 for image vieweing takes time to load (tried 4.2 gallery, samsung gallery, camera JB+ gallery),all also when swipe to a new pic, the image appear unclear, but got a layer of grey blurness that need half a second to clear off (only on TV, doesnt appear on the phone screen).
the color is seriously very pale compare to ipad one. S2 framerate is inconsistant, sometimes smooth sometimes lagg. overall sharpness is terrible, i think it just upscale 800x480 and stretch it to 42inch. thats why image viewing sucks if compared to ipad one. but for video, it does play in 1080p, very sharp and nice, color also very good. duno why the difference for video. only video performance is good.

its not very noticable when you just see the s2 one, but once change to ipad one to compare
the difference is very noticable.

on 1024x768 resolution tv
S2 and ipad both also consistantly fast, fluid, and vivid.
picture clarity same for both device, probably due to the low TV resolution.

btw, i'm no apple lover, but in this hdmi out thing, the ipad is a very much better performer, especially with bigger screen, better color, and better stability (not easy disconnect suddenly).


lastly, very butthurt cos i buy the hdmi official samsung one in garage sales, cost rm35.

in lowyat plaza, got sell one hdmi adapter for rm29 only.
it has build in hdmi cable, means the adapter itself have a 3meter long wire to go to your phone, no need use real hdmi cable that is fat and hard to handle.

just pimped my whatsapp
found the most boring conversation with a friend that i think can share out to preview how it looks like.

if you ask me why i do this, i can just say its personal interest.
can be whatever colors you want..

XDA got alot of themes tho. but this one is sell configured.

Need help guys. 2day my sdcard suddenly unmount. It happened 2 times already. I am sure its the ext sdcard coz when i checked in the storage menu, it shows my ext sd is unmount. Had to remount it back. When the sdcard is unmounted, checked in gallery it says "sdcard as mass storage device" n there is no file as i kept everything in my ext.
But if i use es explorer it can detect my card n i can access it with no problem. It happens after i play game, or during surfing the net, at the notification area suddenly say sdcard safely unmount or something like that.
Tried google, n it seems this happened to other android device but there is no proper solution or known couse. There is a forumer in lyn also face the same problem in v16 but no solution is given.
So thought its already long ago maybe now there is already something i can do.
My phone is only 4month old, n same as the sdcard. Is it possible my sdcard having problem ot is it a software issue.
My phone is g version, not rooted.

ASKING HERE bout jellybam non g ,need to install this ke?link below

http://www.igio90.net/samsung-add-on-jellybam/

it say add on for samsung but the pic is s3..can someone confirm it work on s2 non g also

also latest jelly bam,3.0 ok ke?dah donlod tapi nak tanya pdpt anda semua dulu

these are the add ons that were available back when they have AROMA installer.
if you didnt perform a full wipe on every update then this zip file is useless as the apps will be in it.

but i dunno why SOME will be gone, while some remains.

however, if u dun want to flash every single app in the zip file.. just extract the apk that you want from the zipfiles..
its safe to flash for s2, those are just applications.

wah...nice..mind to share the link to download it ?

whatsapp plus:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624514

you backup your messages first then uninstall the official app
then install this one, then restore your messages.

i will upload the XML file tonight.
then just load the theme.

if you dont like whatsapp plus can always revert back to official whatsapp..
done it few times..

ytd got too bored so play with whatsapp plus..
didnt know can do these.
