Nothing wrong wit restore user apps with titanium backup.
Do it all the time with no issue at all.

As long don't restore system apps from other roms.
If restore all systems apps, confirm will have issue la
Some system apps label green are harmless though

Has anybody jumped from Galaxy Nexus to S2?

I don't think so. I think most Nexus users proud of the stock Android and assume touch wiz is touch piss. Lol...

it's a step backwards if you want latest android. in terms of smoothness, galaxy nexus wins. i've tried cm10 on g version but i can't get the same smoothness. galaxy nexus has bad battery life, that's the reason why i switched back to s2.
*
Nexus smooth? Last time I tried friends one, feels quite lag. Temple run also cnt run smoothly. Maybe that time was ics. I am using non g s2, happy wit it.


I thought of using nexus also due to the nice amoled hd screen. But the storage too small for me. So stick wit s2. Haha.

guys..

this is very weird.. first time this happened to my phone..
something was killing my battery?

was using it for less than an hour, then it dropped till 40%. after that i went to sleep.
woke up at 1.30 and saw that my phone had 1% left.. hmm.gif
and the battery was dropping like 2% in less than 1 minute!

on normal times it would just drop till 80% or something, but yesterday's battery drop was too quick..

wifi seems to be kept awake the whole night. normally it would auto-disable after 5 mins of not using or something!

plus i rebooted my phone before i used it, so it was sort of "fresh" with the processes running in the phone?
didnt install any new apps. but it happened for the first time yesterday.  unsure.gif

I think Google maps is reporting your location. Turn off location reporting. Or off Google apps access for location settings.

hmm, but i need to enable location as i use maps often.
it has been enabled for 2-3 weeks straight but only yesterday night this happened. hmm.gif
*
Then just turn off location reporting.
The maps/navigation still works normal.

The pattern of your awake when screen off is similar to my problem last time. And the fact that maps app appear in battery usage.
Just guessing though. Don't take my word for it.

Best is use bbs and check lo. Then Google the one with longest wake lock.

Will have to report back as I've only been using it for a little over a day but so far it's blazing haha.

I never noticed that you can reassign the menu hardware button to become "recent app switcher" (d'oh!) so that's pretty cool as well.
*
Don't do this.
If the app does not have in app menu buttons, the 3 dot button thing. Then you can't operate it.

All these silly rumors s4 with s pen.
Why would samsung combine 2 of their best selling product?
It reduces profit. The note and s series are selling like hot cakes. Doesn't make sense to combine them.

rumors? Please....
S3 suppose to be water proof, have ceramic body, bendable screen. Rmb? Lol...

Its impossible to silent the camera without rooting right?

Possible. Buy camera jb+ from play store.
Turn on silent mode within the app.

guys..
waht rom to flash this weekend.
suggest me
thx

do you use your phone at all?
what's the point of keep changing roms?
having to setup everything back from scratch is time consuming and frustrating, not fun at all.

if a rom is good enough already, stick to it. smile.gif
i'm using disaster rom v5.5 for quite some time, with jeebo kernel.
didnt bother to upgrade v6 because it uses siyah kernel, i personally hate siyah kernel.

if you so bored nothing better to do, and want to pass time,
try MIUI,
its radically different, the settings/themes/notification tray etc,
a fresh breath compared to aosp & samsung roms that you are familar with.

• non-g
• jellybam 3.2
• dorimanx kernel 7.42

Phone gets hot when cpu usage stuck at 1.2ghz for long time.
Such as gaming or navigation

Under clock using any method u like.
Rom toolbox, set cpu, default setting in cm or aokp.

wil it be clashing if i set using the AOKP settings and at the same time, ExTweaks is installed?

use either one method. anyone will do. but just use one.

i dont use siyah. so not sure about extweaks.
setting profiles wont make it less hot, preventing hp from operating at 1.2GHz for long term will.

its quite strange that our s2 camera view finder is not in continuous auto focus mode. this causes the camera to be slower in taking pictures.

models like iphone, s3, xperia s, galaxy nexus camera viewfinder is in very aggresive continuous auto focus, so when you point the camera at a new object, it automatic focus it, when you press shutter, it straight capture. time is needed only to save the pic because its already in focus.

when trying gingerbread MIUI long long ago, their custom camera have this feature. it will be nice if a camera app have this.

I know everyone is talking bout technical stuff in the last few pages (and they are extremely informative, btw. I like).

But I am wonder what is a good case for the S2? I dont mind it being thicker, I find the S2 too thin & keeps sliding out of my hands (no I dont have super sweaty hands). Any suggestions? Rm20 would be my max for a case I think?
*
go pasar malam, or small stalls at shopping malls

my suggestion when buying case is put it on and test it first.
because actual feel is more important than looks.

some case cover the buttons as well. i dont like those because its much harder to press the buttons. (power and volume)

my favourite is silicon rubbery case that have openings for the power and volume buttons.
the rubbery surface makes it anti slip and good shock absorbing if you drop your phone.

these case arent too expensive, can get for rm10-20

Same case with mine, obviously bloated and causing problem like auto shut off when playing high end games, now even worse, Facebook half way also can off.

Can't find original 2000mah anywhere, will settle for the Sun Global 1800mah instead.

how long you use before your battery become bloated?
