2013 is too far, by q2 of 2012 quad cores with 2 gb ram will blast our s2 straight away, even some flexible display if possible.

Temptation is going to be there, but resistance is much bigger :D

I too had the screen heating issue, it could be because of the unsupported media files in sd frequently getting scanned, i dont want to remove my video files, hence removed cm :D

Did you cook it up ? or develop it ?

Read some place in the tutes called RomManager.exe or some thing that's what the guys are using to test the ICS porting ...... then again i've not tried it my self so don know

I am on CheckROM 4, ICS Domination 1.5 & Siyah 2.3 and everything is running super smooth so I just made a nandroid. One thing I noticed is that, after flash checkROM, the default location for CWM nandroid backups is in the external SD, where as it used to be in the internal SD. Is there anyway to change this default setting?

Oh and I just bought 8 out of those 10 apps on sale. :P lol.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
I developed it man.Took the Code/PDA file from the source KK5 an played around with it. :)deodexed,zipaligned,rooted,RAM tweaks,other tweaks etc., also added.

Offtopic: should i say i cooked it or i developed it??

I think cooked refers to using ROM KITCHEn website.???
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Guys what you think which 10 apps will come today in discount
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
I noticed the same i guess when you backup with the CWM UI app it backs it up to the external SD whereas when you goto the recovery and backup from the recovery console it backs it up to the USB storage of the phone. I personally prefer that the backup stay in external SD so i back it up using the CWM UI.

Nice ......... i always wanted to do that din know where to start ....... and ofcourse the time that's a great step bro ........ might i suggest terming it as remodified stock rom...... agreed cooking means using the kitchen app.

Is it a daily thing ?

hey, i have finally decided to go with official stock rom. how, my worry is, i have enjoyed gtalk so long, is there any way at all to get gtalk video on my device(yes, i am asking this same thing again)?

2.3.6 is out. and some say it has better battery life. any links to the rom?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
It looks like that only..."10 days of offers top premium apps 90%off" ...Why they said offers? if they will offer same apps for 10 days they need to say "10 days of offer top premium apps 90%off" but they said offers so I think daily 10 different apps for 10 days

I was just talking to a techy guy, working in Samsung India. He said that I9100G, will replace I9100 in india, by december. Also, regarding updates, he informed that I9100, will be the first to get ICS update, in galaxy family. And, its not important that we get 2.3.6 update, if we have ICS update earliest.

He also said that I9100G is based on PowerVR OMAP processors, which have lower performance than our Exynos I9100.

Ordered an I9100 from Flipkart but received an I9100G

Ordered a Galaxy S2 I9100 on 4th Dec and received the product on 7th Dec. The product's outer packaging and the invoice clearly says GT-I9100.

But to my horror, the contents in the box all read GT-I9100G, which happpens to be a lower variant (TI OMAP4430 instead of the Samsung Exynos 4210). The Exynos is highly regarded for it's performance and graphics quality while the TI OMAP is an average performer (http://10division.com/samsung-galax...timate-comparison-guide-all-you-need-to-know/).

Before ordering, I did confirm with Flipkart that the product was the GT-I9100 and NOT the GT-I9100G. However, the shipped product is the GT-I9100G, but the outer packaging has the model number as GT-9100.

I have raised this complaint with Flipkart and waiting for their reply. Is there anything I can do? Disgusted with Samsung's cheap tricks! :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Thats poor dude, flipkart cannot do anything regarding this, better find the official samsung showroom/retailer in your city and ask there with the bill. AFAIK there is no i9100 models in stock anywhere

Root only if you feel you need to do something with the phone that requires root. I rooted because I wanted to have full customisation.

About voiding your warranty, Indian customer care does not care whether you are rooted or not. They act as if they don't even know what Android is. Still you can make your phone un root easily.

Official ICS release in India is a long way to go as per sources. Idiots dint even released 2.3.4 at least to GS2!

Also note that you need not root if you want to just upgrade your Android version with stock ROMs.

Btw, I came to know the true potential of this device only after I rooted though :D
