Strange my batt life with Omega v20 is not bad. Maybe u need to freeze/uninstall bloatwares. U can try Rootbox.
According to mafioso he can get just under 5hrs SOT. Really super amazing.

monocle, can u teach me?

I m curious to know, is it a must to wipe data/factory reset and format/system when we want to flash a custom rom? What happens if i don't want to do it and just flash the custom rom instead? Will it affect anything?

Most of the time u will get bootloop/freezes/FC and so on. Its advisable to do full wipe when flashing. Why take risk?

Just asking . So that means i need to back up the data before flashing custom rom. I afraid all my data for games lost. Titanium Backup will help then . Thanks for your response.

I did.
When installing the ROM, I didn't install anything that my girlfriend doesn't use.

So, what's the most stable custom ICS ROM for Galaxy S II non-G?

ICS no idea. Most of us are on JB Custom Roms. Stable ones like Omega/Rootbox/Wanam/Disaster..

i'm trying to get the CWM ZSLPE kernel. i'm trying to find which kernel to choose from Phil thread here:

***DONE!! now trying to decide either wanna use triangleaway or not,huhuhu

now im currently testing full data from 100%. wanna see how much i can get

Chwck the link i posted in previous post before ur question

Hi guys,

Just got a second hand GS2 to play with. I'm looking for an all in one ROM, so far I've narrowed it down to Rootbox or Pacman, or do you guys have any suggestions?

ur g version? i use both and rootbox better battery result.
whole nite deep sleep only use 4% compare to pacman 10%
will try rootbox with full battery later

you can try Jellybam. Great rom as well.

after trying pacman latest version last 2 days,
stil not stable enuff as my Omega rom.
with its annoying bottom placed pie also.
if can fix it by setting to right border or just removed it altogether shud make it better.
( btw im always have LMT on my sammy rom coz its make my life easier)

so i think better choose other rom.
even the newest XOS rom there more stable vs Pacman
and still..

I9100 model here. I'm having an extended battery pack coming in next month, but noted.

Thanks for the input!

Thanks! Looks I have a few more to test around. My intention is to find a keeper, can't be trying out new stuff all the time as it will be a daily user as well, but definitely there needs to be some trial and error before finding the right one.

if i update my SGS2 without any backup.i update use odin from ICS to JB,does the all file in the phone will gone? or it backup itself?

You must perform a Nandroid backup first. If you don't do so, all your files will be gone from your phone.

all file, data, setting and etc in phone will be deleted when you update your phone using odin. to keep it from lost, do nandroid backup for your whole system(useful when u want revert to ics) and TiBa for apps and apps data. Data or file in SD will not touched.
