They just released an att version for the otterbox commuter. I have the international and its fits flawlessly. The top Mic cut out is off but the call quality is still the same. Paid 20 bucks on Amazon for it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iFalcon:
I just received this one and it fits flawlessly. They have 2 or 3 different colors. This one is a matte finish on the back and does not show any fingerprints and the TPU material feels great in the hand.

This is going to depend a lot on how you use your phone. I am using the casemate barely there which provides a moderate level of drop protection while maintaining the slim profile and light feel that I really love about the Galaxy phones. But when I need to travel for work I put on the Ballistic case which has huge rubber corners and feels indestructible which is nice when you are moving around a lot and adding a much greater risk of dropping your phone. The otterbox commuter is a decent case, my wife has one on her iPhone 4. It seems to be a nice middle road between something like the "barely there" and the Ballistic.

Did you drop your old phone a lot?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wified:
There is a balance between protection and bulk in cases

I don't want a case that inhibits the phone from venting heat. And I don't want one that is too bulky. I've tried a lot of different cases, and this is the one that I like best:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320771114659

Just don't drop it from too high above a floor that's too hard, and it should protect the phone OK. And at this price you can get a couple of them as spares, since they will crack occasionally.

The other thing about this case is the matte rubberized finish. Helps the phone to stay put in your pocket. It also makes the phone feel much more secure when holding it in your hand.

Here's a list of many of the available i777 cases:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cheetablaze:
The SGS ballistic case is way too big and the bumpers snag in your pocket. The case mate pop is great as long as you don't mind the shiny back scratching all to hell in two weeks. Also the grey plastic around the edge flakes off really easily. The commuter is smaller than both and likes to draw dust... The thin cases will never completely protect your phone. Always had otterbox, always will keep using otterbox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
TPU cases have a tendency to stretch if you take them on and off too much. I had one for about 2 weeks and it was already feeling loose and I was only taking it on/off about once a day.

And they attract lint like mad. The reason I was taking it off daily was to rinse it off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mzaur:
35 bucks! Damn. Not any cheaper on Amazon. That's a bit too much for me.

Thanks guys for the tips. I ordered a couple cheap hard TPU cases like some recommended here to see how they are. Perhaps I'll need more protection and look into something else.

I didn't drop my old phone a lot, but I did once in a while drop it from my desk. I don't have insurance on my GS2 so I would like some protection in case it drops since the phone feels fairly fragile.

Can anyone recommend a middle of the line case between thin TPU cases and the Ballistic? I know Otterbox is along those lines but $35 is too much!

I agree with your line of reasoning here. I loved the Otterbox on my iPhone. I liked the hardness of it. My girlfriend had an Otterbox Defender and that was just too much. Did you pay $35 for the Otterbox?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SupremeOverlord777:
maybe the case-mate pop. conflicting reports on whether it has the right holes or not. it also has the built in kickstand

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

oh, also, the otterbox should come down in price soon, like the intl. GS2 version has.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] duqjag:
I have the casemate barely there and the casemate and the casemate full version. Both work great and give flexibility.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sandcrab:
The Case-Mate Pop! is the best I've found. It is a hard plastic case that is lined on the inside with rubber for shock absorption. It also has rubber inserts on the outside along each edge. Has a very solid feel with good grip. There is also a fold out stand but I don't really use it that often. Nice feature to have though.

It does add a little to the bulk of the phone but not as much as the Otterbox or other heavy duty cases. I found it a good compromise between size and protection. I think it's well worth it for something that fits perfectly and feels really good in the hand.

All of the holes line up perfectly on this case even it's categorized under the International SII. The noise canceling mike on top is included in the microphone cutaway. No noticeable difference in signal quality or phone call quality.

Sorry, tried to post a link but I'm too new. You can go to Case-Mate's website and look under the Samsung Cases, Samsung Galaxy SII, International version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I have the Casemate Barely There Aluminum, SGP Linear, and some mesh one I got for $3 on ebay. Out of all of these I prefer the SGP Linear. It completely protects the phone, leaving no edges exposed, feels like quality, and keeps the slim profile of the phone. I had to make a little hole for the noise cancelling mic but that was easy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Use the instructions from this post. I've also attached a zip of the emoticons I use (not flashable). Give it a try and report back. I'll do it if you have difficulty and we can see where you went wrong.

There are 17 images to replace in drawable-hdpi. There's also one (the "embarassed" emoticon) in the drawable folder; you have to replace this one as well. The images in my zip are appropriately named, so just drag and drop.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssconceptz:

this is where I get confused - I downloaded that mms.apk file, and when I tried opening it on my phone it said it was would replace the default on the phone. I wasn't sure what it would be replacing, so i waited till I could ask someone.

Do i just install that mms.apk file and it'll change the smileys to the black ones? orrrrr is there more that i need to do?!

Please advise!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quikmeister:
You need to use root explorer and move the Mms.apk to system/app

Make sure to backup your old one (rename it to something like mms.apk.old)

first and when you move the one with the black smileys it will ask if you want to overwrite.

Then reboot and you should be good to go.

Is it possible to change the shortcuns emoticons, i means i use gs2 and i would like to change the " : - )" to ": )" etc... but i didn't see how and which file can do it.

Is it possible as well to add many others emoticons with personnal shortcuts ?

[General Questions and Answers] zack_droid:
I'm upgrading my phone soon, and i'm pretty much down to the T-Mobile Galaxy S II or waiting for the Galaxy Nexus.

I'm kind of tired of waiting for Google to release it in the US. And even when it does, it's rumored to be exclusive on Verizon at first so if that's true that could suck.

I really like the Galaxy S II. but have a couple of questions about it.

1. With the Galaxy S II being released so late in the US, is it possible that a Galaxy S III could be coming within the next couple of months and would it be worth it to get the Galaxy S II right now?

2. As for development, are more ROMs expected to come out for this? This probably can't be determined because I guess that mainly has to do with developers wanting to come to this phone. I'm just used to having a lot of ROM choices on my MyTouch 4G and HD2. But even the myTouch 4G took a couple of months before a lot of ROMs starting coming out for it. I probably just answered my own question, but oh well.

Thanks :)

Edit:

this got moved to the XDA General forum...? thought I put it in the correct place, but not gonna mess with mods lol.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Within a month or two you will see a big influx of ROM's. T-Mobile phones are always heavily developed. And with Cyanogen 9 dropping within 2 months that is when the development will pick up. Alot of devs like to build using their code.
[General Questions and Answers] zack_droid:
you're right. I've noticed T-Mobile phones tend to be the best when it comes to the developer communities. I mainly want the Galaxy Nexus for Ice Cream Sandwich. But Samsung said it will get an official update and it will probably be ported eventually anyway.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kadin:
When you go into ROM Manager, what is the 'Current Version' showing in Recovery at the top? Did you install CWM via ROM Manager or another method?

Also, can you manually boot into CWM and install the zip? Power the phone off completely. Press and hold both volume keys as well as Power. When you see the Samsung logo come on, let go of Power but keep holding the volume buttons until you see the blue CWM screen in a couple seconds. Try installing the zip that way.

Make sure to use the volume keys to navigate through the lists and the power button to select the option you want.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jellycreamcorn:
Hello! This is my first post on XDA, so feel free to berate me for this question.

I am a rooted Vivow user (dinc 2), and I have been DYING for ICS so I am very tempted to load the AOSP Nexus S ROM. The only reason I haven't, is because I haven't found what the effects are of flashing the wrong ROM. I have only found that flashing the wrong radio, bricks the phone.

So the question is:

What would be the effect of loading a Nexus S ROM on a Dinc 2? :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] repilce:
Well, the effects would probably be a blank or boot looping screen.

There are several factors as to why that wouldn't work.. although you wouldn't have to worry about flashing a wrong radio.. for reasons that I hope are obvious.

First of all.. All ROM's come with a kernel, which is VERY device specific. Even if the SoC's are the same between two phones there are a plethora of other bits that have to be specific to kernel as well. (ex.. camera/radio/screen).

That's just one part of the hurdle.

Another would be the difference of Partition tables and Bootloader ties between HTC and Samsung Devices.

All in all to make a short answer.. It WOULD NOT WORK. period.

I would advise against it strongly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
it wont work, for reasons mentioned above
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
You can't flash between the Inc s and the Inc 2, and they are nearly identical. If those don't work, roms from the nexus would never work without some heavy porting work.
