[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
You can actually solve the power issue with a kernel, some people have claimed 2-3 days without charging on some kernels. Plus rooting will allow you to clear out all the bloatware on the stock ROM. Also custom themes are nice. And there's AOSP ROMs like CM and MIUI, and ICS. I rarely overclock my phone, but I'm constantly playing with new ROMs and kernels, it really depends on what you want to do with your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] gunfromsako:
You wanna save battery? New kernel/underclock plus the removal of all sprint bloatware should help. My main reason for rooting...
[HTC EVO 3D] I Slap Fat Kids:
Android 4.0 should be good to go for rooted users soon, as long as you don't mind losing the 3D part of your Evo 3D. And the battery perks are nice, too. Not to mention the benefits of superuser permissions (Bluetooth controllers, free Wi-Fi hotspot, ads blocked in free apps, etc...)
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
This may seem a bit odd but I'd still like to hear your opinions please...

I've had a black sgs2 for a couple of months, rooted and custom ROM etc.

My other half has just received a white sgs2 upgrade but she rather keep he old Nokia and has given me the opportunity to keep it and sell my black one...

Which one do i keep (without considering white one may sell for more etc)?
[Galaxy S II General] manmad:
why does she want to keep an old nokia and throw away the best phone ever build?

I think the white one sells for alot more because its newer and not rooted/custom roms.

But its all personal preference, if you like the white one more, then keep the black one ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mcrane1981:
Wouldn't have thought it would be worth more cause of the colour. If it does make more I would definitely trade that few pound for the classy white look. I've got the white one and bought some skins for it. My favourite being white sgs2 with a black vented cover. Looks really smart with the white showing thru the black vent wholes. Just my opinion and preference, but hope this helps mate!
[Galaxy S II General] sinancetinkaya:
prefer the black one, white phone gets messy in time
[Galaxy S II General] wesleyrpg:
i think i prefer the look of the black one, but ultimately the white one would sell for a little more! (blame apple)
[Galaxy S II General] komsa:
i prefer the black one too..........the back of the white phone is flat and slippery....... :)
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Black definitely.

I was really really disappointed in Samsungs galaxy S II white version. The colour and feel with the silver aluminium on the phone looks tacky and cheap. They did an awesone job with the Galaxy S white version. That one was actually called i9000 ceramic white.....whereas the sgsII really doesn't look like a 500pound phone ....
[Galaxy S II General] Byrono:
The black one is a lot better looking

Sent from Teh epic pony using XDA
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
I've done some research and the white one does sell for more especially on Ebay...
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Dont forget you will need a white rom .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
i would prefer black.
[Galaxy S II General] xfade23:
I went for the white one cos ma galaxy s 1 was black...no regrets.
[Galaxy S II General] mcrane1981:
Good choice. As you can see by the posts, everyone likes black! Why not be a but different lol
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
I think I'll stick with my black one then!
[Galaxy S II General] Nyssa1104:
OP find out if its has NFC, and if you fancy such a device then sell yours.

One other thing is it the 16GB or 32GB?.

Blacks best any how :)
[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
I personally bought a white one as I always wanted a white phone :D

I'll suggest you to keep which ever color you like.
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
Its a UK phone from 3 network - 16GB...I don't think it has NFC! Is it likely to be locked? Can I unlock without rooting?
[Galaxy S II General] Blueshadow91:
i have the Black one, and my Brother has the white i don't like the battery cover the black one comes with.. if anyone would like to supply me a source for a plastic gloss back cover as on the white one ill be very grateful :) :)
[Galaxy S II General] mr mystery:
I went with the white, looks awesome
[Galaxy S II General] Azax:
My friend bought a white unit about the time i bought a black one a few months ago. His phone looks off-white now..
[Galaxy S II General] shawayne21:
White is beautiful!
[Galaxy S II General] Howard0210:
i have owned both, i kept my black one over the white one as the white has a glossy cheap looking and feeling back also the light from the front buttons shine through, not as sharp as the black one
[Galaxy S II General] eskostar:
I'm not sure if people are trolling or actually serious, but there's no need for specific roms or kernels for the white version, it's the same thing no matter the colour.

I went with the white one, hasn't lost his colour and I actually prefer the smoothness of the back cover compared to the black one, I just think white devices look way cooler, but it's a matter of preference I guess.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Choices don't get easier than this.

Make your own mind up - how the hell some people saying "black" and some "white" can influence your decision is beyond me.

Look at them, then decide. It's not rocket science...
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
I could never have a white phone, just like I wouldn't get a white car, looks quite nice clean, but the moment you get any scratches or dirt on it, its never the same again!

BLACK

10charsbecausethisisajoke

ps I like XDA's new auto anti double post feature, makes me look like a twit for the 10chars thing though
[Galaxy S II General] POLO_i780:
I chose white and it looks amazing, has a presence about it and is unique. The back cover is actualy nice IMO, nice and smooth and it doesnt get dirty easily.
[Galaxy S II General] radkor:
What? Who said you that?

Black & White are exactly the same i9100 so there's no difference on the hardware.

Different are only product codes: LKAxxx for Black and RWAxxx for white.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
<joke>its a</joke>
[Galaxy S II General] ultramag69:
Yes like calling my black sgs 2 mr white and my white sgs2 mr black.... :p
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I got a white once after owning black for a few months. True it may get dirty but I clean the spots using this organic cleaner from the local hardware. I get lots of compliments for my white phone as it's quite unusual. But to each his own.
[Galaxy S II General] goyagoyago:
It's up to you!

If I were you, I would convince the other half to keep the sexy beast :P
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
It is white.

It is a phone.

It is not unique.

How does a phone have a "presence about it" ?

Does it also have a charismatic personality?
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
It likes long walks on the beach, and playing ping pong.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Works a room and listens to Bach too.

I believe Kant is its favourite philosopher.
[Galaxy S II General] bhavinpatel95:
Get white, look's a lot nicer at night ;)
[Galaxy S II General] tyrell:
WHITE one all the way....kinda stands out and does get noticed, plus - it has a higher selling value...while black is simply dull and the back textured cover feels totaly annoying...but hey thats just my opinion.
[Galaxy S II General] red_rebel:
I got black to myself (had aluminum HTC legend for two years).
[Galaxy S II General] SGS-II:
Personally, black for me. Though white looks striking the back cover is not textured like the black one.
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
I prefer the textured back cover..
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Care to enlighten me as to why "get noticed" matters?

Said it before, will say it again - it's a PHONE. Not a status symbol. Not a fashion accessory. Not a sex toy.

If the owner is happy with their phone - in whatever colour - without peering anxiously over their shoulder for peer group approval, I can assume:

It's not from Cupertino

The owner is older than 12.
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
Was there not a post about how the white display is dimmer than the black?

Can you see any difference in the displays?
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Remember the Michael Jackson (rip) song 'it doesn't matter if your black or white'?

Whatever man!

Hey, I'm trying to choose a case. What do you guys think? Blue or red? Also the screen protector...matte or clear? Ahhh who gives a ****!!!

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] Kokovche:
I have both white and black. White looks nicer but get's dirty unless you get case. Black looks casual but it's looks cleaner. My advice dich the white. I had white HTC Hero 2 years ago, it turned yellow.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Will it really turn yellow? I don't think they're of the same material.
[Galaxy S II General] Kokovche:
Not yellow because of the material, but yellow because of the dirt that gets to our hands everyday. More you use it more it gets dirty. I advice you to put cover, but then the phone loses it's beauty.

I am overprotecting my investment therefor i have cover on both phones.
[Galaxy S II General] DreamWiva:
I had the white one, which looked awesome

I now have the black one due to a series of unfortunate events, I preferred the look of the white one but tbh the novelty wears off...

In terms of practicality, the black one is way better. It doesnt really matter these days about the aesthetics of the phone, its the inside that counts :)
[Galaxy S II General] shawayne21:
Guy, shut up.

If people love the color white on a phone, they love the color white on a phone.

It gets attention because not too many phones are white and it looks really nice and clean.

Now stop trolling.
[Galaxy S II General] Blue1k:
I've had both. I prefer the white one by far in terms of looks. Yellowing? Not mine. I clean all my phones with a cloth and lens fluid pretty often.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Guy, I won't. Who made you mod/God?

My opinion is just as valid as yours, his/hers, whoever, and I'm not trolling.

I have no problem with people loving the colour of their phone. Or car, or cat, or socks. Never said I did. You missed that bit. I do, however, admit to being totally bemused by people who chose their hue based on its attention seeking properties.

But hey! Thanks for the explanation! And there was me thinking white looks really horrid and dirty! You are a wise a man, chapeau!

While you're being so helpful, perhaps you'd like to tell me why a phone getting attention from others is of any signifance beyond self-obsession - seems you know about these things.
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
White one seems to be built better (home button especially), but the screen is ever so dimmer.

As for people admiring your phone, some people like people admiring their stuff, it gives them confidence, like women liking attention from guys, and vice versa.

Although I do not exactly like it, people gain confidence from it, so thats cool in my book. It's not self obsession, in most cases, thats's just a short sighted view of it.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
OK then, here's my presbyopic view...Self-obsession may be a bit strong, agree. How about needy navel-gazing narcissists? Slight contradiction in terms, but you get my drift.

I see your point, but whichever way one puts it, it's still only a phone, and I have no time at all for the people you describe. Your woman-guys analogy isn't quite apt - emotions aren't possessions.

Mad and sad people who think that cutting-edge consumerism confers social status. This thread here is a primo example.
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
Ok, let's compare it to people who buy a new house or a new car. Ever had a new car or house even, had a house warming party? Proud of your new posession? I was quite chuffed when people said my car was nice lol :)

I think it comes down to the individual. Personally i'm embarrassed when people look at my phone, as it draws un needed attention to me, especially when they say "That phone's MASSIVE! is it an iphone lol"

I guess it's all just personal opinion though hehe :) And I agree, it is only a phone :D

P.S. I do get extremely annoyed when people pull out their ipads to show me a picture they have on their phone, because it's "bigger", meaning, "let me show you my ipad because i'm awesome" lol :D
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Wrong link in my previous post, now corrected. See what you think. I have form on this subject...

It's all personal opinion, agree 100%. And I can see the house/car thing... mind you, I drive a 10 year old Volvo because all I need from a car is for it to get me from A to B, and nothing else. Trust me, where I live some people call that social suicide...

The biggest confidence booster I see amongst youngsters today seems to be cocaine - if a phone can do the job instead it's healthier all round...:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
That thread's OP has some srs issues if they are worried about a phone (one of the best selling of 2011) becoming less unique!

If its a 10 year old vovo, you could probs drive though a few houses on the way from A-B and it wouldn't notice ;)

I cant really talk, I drive a 9 year old ford focus =D
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
White is more 'stylish'. Black is more executive look-a-like. :p
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
I'll take a look at that thread :D Seems we're all on the same page here anyway :D

I like the black and the white one, the black one looks awesome, like a dark slab of raw energy, but gets so smudgy and grubby with my fingerprints I feel like I want to clean it every five seconds lol

The white one is a little girly, but sort of looks clean :D
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
And Our Lord And Saviour looked down and bestowed the gift of t-shirts on humanity.

And he saw it was good.

On topic, I for one would be really interested to know if the OP has made his mind up? Maybe he could make a TV programme called "The Decision".

Actually I couldn't gives a rat's ass, he's snickering like Beavis at the fun he's created. Don't blame him.

By the way, what colour underpants should I wear tomorrow? Thinking of pink crotchless, because they have a presence, get attention and look nice and clean.
[Galaxy S II General] BigMrB:
Once you go black.....

( Suggestions welcome )
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
Still not made my mind up...but i might not need to as Mrs is not happy with network coverage or lack of coverage and we may end up returning it within the fourteen days period!
[Galaxy S II General] deweini:
I'm totally happy with my black one.

The white ones look too girly and/or iphone-ish to me.

But that's just my 2 cents! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Deniska11:
Hey bud, you are in the same boat as i am. I had a black one for about 4 months, sold it, got a black S2 LTE, sold it, and now i have a white S2. Looks wise, its beautiful, absolutely stunning. But i must say, the chrome on the edges is already losing its shape. Performance wise....it seems worse. I used to have RevoHD with Vert ISC and Siyah and Tw4, so, the screen transitions or app drawer pages transitions did not lag a single bit, now on the other hand, pretty good but not as good as it was on my S2. Bought my phone on Craigslist/Kijiji, box was open but the phone was sealed so i doubt it was refurbished or anything like that. The internals are suppose to be the same, so im extremely puzzled by this. Faulty/defective device maybe??
[Galaxy S II General] D3LTA9:
I had the same choice as I lost my black one and could have had either white or black as an insurance replacement last week. I was going to go white until I actually had it in my hand, for some reason it looks cheap and not as crisp as the black one. So I choose black, if it was a real clean ceramic white would be different.

anyway just my 2c
[Galaxy S II General] mminoss:
NFC is just in white version?
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
It's a UK phone so i don't think it has nfc
[Galaxy S II General] shawayne21:
You sound so stupid, "you're not tolling", but you're talking smack to everyone who says what they like about the white I9100.

STFU and GTFO.

You not only gave your opinion, but you're trying to put the white I9100 down every time someone says why, in THEIR opinion, its better.
[Galaxy S II General] datsunboy:
Black FTW!

I got black everything with my electronics stuff tho lol , its the new chrome
[Galaxy S II General] tomklm:
I had a black one for about 2 months,when the white came out i sold it and i bought a white S2!

i think that the blacks back panel is better!

I do the same think when i had iphone...first i bought black and then white...

I am calling this ''Apple Virus''

lol
[Galaxy S II General] l7ani:
for me I prefer black one and the end its up to you which one you prefer;)
[Galaxy S II General] elmerendeiro:
i choose black because it goes well with the amoled screen and the whole ICS theme being black and blue, i love when i can't distinguish the screen from the bezel because of the deep blacks and things just seem to flow above the screen
[Galaxy S II General] adesirello:
Always Black! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Sandman2749:
I love the white and would have preferred to grab one over the black GS2 I traded for but the deal was too good to pass up.

I actually like that the white is really more of a vanilla and that it seems glossier and almost harder like a good quality coating. I wonder if you took a micrometer to it if the dimensions would differ slightly? In other words; is the whhite just a coated black?
[Galaxy S II General] radx:
Some people over at Swedroid.se claims the white one does not seem to have the same brightness and also have a dash of blue in it. I'm not sure myself but here is a picture:

And here is the Thread (for those of you who speak swedish)

[Galaxy S II General] Dexonja:
That is fake :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] damirbp:
black is better for me, but white is more stylish or "expensive" i admit :)
[Galaxy S II General] AIways:
The white one is indeed fancier. I prefer the black though as it shows more of a mature status. And the white back cover doesn't have a matte rough feeling to grip on comparing to the black. And the camera on the white is silver which kind of stand out than blending in with the phone. There is also a pink galaxy s2 for those haven't seen it
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Still here sweetheart, and falling ever deeper in love with you.

That would be "t

r

olling" - fixed that for ya. Wouldn't want you to sound stupid.

There's a difference between white and black one. Black one is exynos and white is TI OMAP.

Black: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-3621.php

White: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-3621.php
[Galaxy S II General] Silverwolf2:
The black one is a lot better looking.
[Galaxy S II General] mr mystery:
Mines white and Exynos not OMAP
[Galaxy S II General] Silverwolf2:
I think silver bezel looks bad on the withe one.
[Galaxy S II General] ForTR:
Black is serious , white is sexy

SRY the OMAP one is i9100G with G on the end.
[Galaxy S II General] xethor:
I feel the need for.....
[Galaxy S II General] Cenobite_:
White is the new black.

The first reaction is often get with my white SGS2 is that it's a chick phone. But then they continue and say it's stylish and less nerdy than the black version. So it compensates for the rest of my geekish look :)
[Galaxy S II General] dajumper:
that is right!! i have also a black and white one and the white one is darker!!
[Galaxy S II General] dotter2000:
i also compared my white SG2 to my mates black one and there is a bit of difference in the screen brightness but i still do preffer the white one :D
[Galaxy S II General] saeedsadeghi47:
SGS2 just White
[Galaxy S II General] nono83:
I must say black ! Just for the screen contrast !

Anyway white just make it more luxury !

That's a great picture but PLEASE, for the love of Android get rid of Advanced Task Killer
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
Why do you say that..i use it regularly..I'm i missing something?
[Galaxy S II General] lobr1:
Defiantly black. The AMOLED blends with the body so nicely!
[Galaxy S II General] themadba:
Black looks so much nicer for the SGS2, white is just too bright and stands out too much (sometimes that isn't a bad thing!)

Stick with your black SGS2!
[Android Themes] DannyDrama:
Use root explorer and go to system/media/audio/ui

Mount as R/W

Rename lock.ogg and unlock.ogg to. bak so you can revert back.

Copy the new sounds to the folder

Re-mount as R/O

Reboot. Your unlock/lock sounds should have changed.

You must be rooted, and the replacement files must be named lock.ogg and unlock.ogg

If anyone has any good ones, feel free to post them and I'll update the thread to keep it clean. :)
