****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

What's wrong with it? or what doesn't work? I'm talking about nightly 107 btw, I don't think you've used it since 80 ish?
 
Yeah I don't know how much it's improved since earlier builds but things that weren't available were full hardware acceleration, Samsung Dive (which will never work on it so we can forget that anyway) and there were SD card reading issues as well.

If those are fixed then I will give it another shot I guess but the one thing that I do not like is the lack of Contact Group support, All ROMs from Samsung/HTC etc support the ability to manage contact groups on your Google account but AOSP ROMs do not which I think is stupid to the max.

ICS better have the ability else I won't be pleased!
 
h/w acceleration issues only affected stock browser didn't it? I thought you used boat? or do you mean general UI stuff?
Not sure about Samsung Dive, isn't that just for clumsy 14 year old girls that leave their phone on their cinema seat just after watching Twilight?:p

Not aware of sd card issues. I know cm7 does it properly though (reverting location to emmc), unlike the stock samsung roms do.
 
Interesting, very interesting. I will give it another look. And yeah, was on about the UI. Boat Browser is very smooth all round anyway.
 
Make sure, if you do give CM7 another shot, to use a kernel that CM7 actually approve. it can be really picky!

Should be ok with cf-root.
 
The Kernel is my only bother, I had CF Root on it before and found battery to drain faster but maybe that was just older CM build issue. What battery life do you get?
 
I have to charge it nightly to be honest but thats with max brightness and a few calls/texts and a lot of wifi. Don't play games on it very often.

Dunno how much of a hit LED notifications is giving yet as it's only just been introduced into CM7, but apparently if you don't acknowledge the notification it won't go into deep sleep.

Which reminds me, I've lost my usb jig:(

Yeah BLN support does drain some battery because it has to keep parts of the phone from going into deep sleep. Is it not a feature you can disable? I think I might just wait for the next stable release although I'm running a virtually perfect LeoMar version at the moment and did say I wasn't bothered about any new ROMs until ICS :p
 
actually yes, there's an LED notification timeout settting, ranging from 5 mins to 60 mins.

Whether this just simply stops the LED flashing, or actually puts it into deep sleep I've no idea.
 
There is so much to read through!
I've just bough the dash disc and Nokia holder but I'm sure there are many other gems hidden in the huge threads.

Have we got a sticky with any of the info indexed at all?

If not, can anyone point me at the bare essentials?

Cheers!

Bare essentials to what exactly, accessories, ROMS, rooting, what?
 
My battery didn't even last a day today. It was drained (after a full charge overnight) by about 5pm. I've barely used it. It's been sat in my pocket but battery monitor says it has had 66% usage from email... wtf?

Any ideas what's going on there?
