Developers lose a lot of money due to warez sites hosting their (paid) apps for free. Your app is most likely cracked and not a virus but warez is not to be trusted. You can't do anything to the site (e.g. get it shut down) - see what they said at the bottom of their page:

So the only thing you could do, is ask the file hosting sites to remove it from their servers (since it violates copyright laws).

Hi, my phone has switched itself off for two consecutive nights while it was on charge...I've had the same firmware/ROM etc for a couple off Weeks without any problem! I'm running miui and siya kernel...however over the last few days i have installed some ten pence google sale applications...I'm not sure if any of them are to blame? Also I'm using a new theme...don't know if its to blame?

Also, I've noticed my battery drains alot more and very quickly! Had 44%, rebooted phone and it came back with 14%!!

Any ideas please?

Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djnoicatse:
You said you're running siyah kernel? Your screenshots say otherwise.

-I would delete the apps and themes you recently installed and install them back one by one to find the culprit.

-Try flashing another kernel

-Try a full wipe and reinstall miui.

Hi, I have a LG G2x on gingerbreak 2.3.3 and I was trying to root it using ginger break. However, it is now at the rooting... running exploit... screen and it has been at this screen for like 20 minutes. I searched the forums but couldn't find a solution.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't even care about it being rooted at this point, I just don't want it to get bricked. Can I just press back/home, i don't want to because I'm not sure if it will get bricked. Please someone help!

Hey guys. So I was flashing Cyanogenmod nightly version #256, and I was getting really frustrated with the random reboots, so looking around online someone posted a solution, and I attempted to install the incredikernal. afterwards my phone got stuck on the white screen, so I formatted my sd card like an idiot and I litteraly have no image to boot my phone in, what do I do??

Right now I'm trying to decide between this, the GSII, the G2x, or the MT4GS.

I'm not trying to get you guys to tell me why I should get this phone over the others, I'd just like to know what this phone is like. What are the ups? The downs? How's the phones radio? Custom ROMs? Battery life? And anything else you feel might be good to know before I make a decision.

[Galaxy S II General] megapleb:
I got my S2 yesterday and so far, am very pleased with it. Before it, I had a ZTE Blade, which was my first smart phone.

With the blade, I was still on 2.1 when 2.3 came out, my network provider put a load of garbage on the phone that really slowed it down, not to mention taking up valueable space. Bascially, there was an endless list of problems that needed addressing. As a consequence, I started trying out custom ROMs almost as soon as I got the phone.

With the S2 however, I ditched the standard launcher, put on ADW EX, switched in a number of apps instead of the Samsung defaults, but I can't say I've found any significant bugs yet that make me thing I need to go custom.

Everything just works (let's hope it stays that way!), which is a world away from where I was with my old Blade.

With that in mind, why do you use a custom ROM? I think it can be split into two areas, bug fixes, and nice additions. From my reading so far:

Bug fixes:

Shutter lag on the camera?

Nice additions:

Bettery battery life through new kernals

ICS! (ok this is a big one, if Samsung is slow with their update and there's a custom ROM that works well, that will probably be enough to tempt me)

Notification lights (I don't understand why all phones don't have this by default, I fell in love with it on my old Nokia 6300 and the blinking red light is ever present on my work Blackberry)

Deeper theming - I do miss my circular battery indicator

I'm sure you guys will help me add to the list. The thing is, what is the cost? With my Blade, I craved a phone that was fast and reliable. I seem to have that now, and if the custom ROMs introduce their own bugs or decrease stability, I don't think it will be worth it for me.

Let me know your thoughts, I'm not trying to start a flame war. This community is a lot bigger with so many more projects and ROMs going on, I'm struggling to get a handle on it all. Hopefully this will help! :)
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:

Just a few months ago I bought myself an iPod touch... I was thrilled with it! it was my first "real" mp3 player since my sony NW-HD5...

I Jailbreaked it... but it wasnt enough..

I waited to see how the iPhone 4S would come along.. and when it did I suddenly realized something..

People who buy Apple products are often ready to feel their products are outdated the next year...

Sure enough, Apple's hardware specs are "inferior" than most of the high end android devices.. but as we know their iOS is optimized to squeeze the most juice out of it.. until it gets unsupported...

So thats one of the main reasons I bought and Android phone, and customize it to its fullest... Today my hardware works.. OK.. but in the future, with better ROMS, more optimized to the specific hardware.. my device will be more alive than ever..

So basically... Apple devices just get worse with time... Instead.. Android can only get better.
[Galaxy S II General] watsa:
most of the mods in your list can be achieved by jkay super awesome work. You dont need an entire rom for it. I can understand a kernel affecting battery life but how does a rom do it? (apart from swapping a few apks out?)

really? what do you think these custom roms are based on? leak from samsung only
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
The voice of reason finally shouts at the general populace.

$1 gets you a reply
[Galaxy S II General] Gnarfsan:
You can do all of the tweaks that you can think of without a custom ROM. But the beauty of using a ROM instead of doing it yourself is that you get a full package of what the developers could think of and all the feedback from the users. So its a base to proceed your modding from. You also don't have to deodex the ROM yourself for easier modding.

Regarding battery life, it comes from bloatware and excessive logging that has been removed. Often ROM makers will also replace some of the stock apps with more battery efficient ones. For instance swapping apps that through a bug keeps the phone awake.
[Galaxy S II General] -A-P-M-:
I get bored with stock Android and I was looking for something new. Since SGS2 is still the best phone available, I flashed custom roms and I am sorry I didn't do that before - it is much better now.

[Galaxy S II General] watsa:
i fail fo understand what do you find ****ty in a samsung rom?

yes they could have made it more customizable like sense but thats about it. All custom rom chefs do is customize the sammy rom more. look at the features

mms removed from logs - i am sure most of us dont want it but there are some who use it. Understand samsung is creating this to please everyone.

I can give more examples. Moral of the story is lets credit the super devs here but lets not take credit away from samsung. They have done a decent job with this phone in all departments.
