What he could do is go do a nandroid backup. since he's still on stock ROM pretty much.

To revert just restore your nandroid and uninstall the superuser app. Cosmetically it'll be just like stock. Could also flash the stock kernel back.

Unfortunately I nuked my stock ROM within an hour of getting the phone.

Mikroft got a link to your new rom?

oh and you said to backup your IEMI. where is it located (when i unlocked?)

damn this Android shit has a steep learning curve

I don't believe the nandroid will back up the Modem/Radio. So if he changes his modem/radio, he'd need to wait for a Bell modem/radio to come out on XDA before he can revert. I actually wouldn't mind trying the Bell one out.

Whether just flashing the ROM and Kernel is enough for warranty, I don't know.

There is also a flash counter that counts how many times you flash something via download mode. So they can easily check that if they know how.

I'm on the stock bell modem now. I9100mugkg2. Seems ok to me. I was able to hit 3.6mbps on rogers.

Here's the link for the custom rom I'm using

[19/7][XXKG2] VillainROM 2.1 for SGS2 < The ROM Noonski couldn't drain the battery on - xda-developers

You only need to follow step 2 after downloading the villainrom zip file.

There should already be a backup filer called Galaxy_s_unlock. Just copy this folder to your desktop. This folder holds a backup copy of your IMEI and carrier lock.

Its actually not that bad once you dive into it. I learned all this from just reading XDA.

A ROM is derrived of 3 parts:
1) Android OS
2) Modem/Radio - This controls your radios (wifi/cell/bluetooth)
3) Kernel manages the OS's resources (memory, CPU, I/O devices)

Ok im on villan and score 3150 on quadrant :)

Nice.. Run it 3x to get the correct speed.

If you guys want to do more tweaking, flash this kernel:
[Kernel][GPL] Ninphetamine-2.0.1 - Now with 100% less Samsungyness - xda-developers
Not only is it stupid fast, it enables undervolting the CPU in SetCPU.

SetCPU is free for XDA members, btw:
SetCPU for Root Users [2.2.4] Undervolting and more 07/07/2011 - xda-developers

Already done. That's how I get over 4000 on quadrant without overclocking :)

I'm currently undervolting 100mv across all frequencies. Cant really say much about battery is its only on the 2nd charge outta the box.

I was just shy of 4000..I hit 3993...I'll round that to 4000 :p

Hmm 3560 now. no changes

great info guys thanks

I am...so confused....><'
Anyone wanna root my phone for me? :D

Anyone got an answer to this question?

Bell is offering the Samsung Galaxy S2 for free with a 3-year contract :D

Is there a more technical term for it? IE "pinyin" refers to a particular method. What would the handwriting method most likely be called (in chinese)

There are tons of popular chinese keyboards out there. Not sure which ones use handwriting. but whenver I see people use handwriting on the MTR, I feel sorry for them. it looks like it takes forever just to write one word! If you can write phonetically, I'd think pinyin is the way to go with phone input...

BTW for the Android n00bs hopping on the SGSII bandwagon, the best keyboard out there is Swiftkey X. If you don't like Swype or whatever else came with the phone

Looks good, but no Chinese support for the languages :(

For Chinese (Pinyin) try TouchPal. I've never actually used it for Chinese, but it was really good for English, with its swiping gestures that nobody has replicated yet. Unfortunately, their Android version is nowhere near as good as the WinMo one.

Hmm. Anyone have a dead/stuck pixel on theirs? I just noticed one on the bottom left.

You can also run a screen test to check.

Dial the following into the phone keypad: *#0*#

Click through the red, green, blue, white to check.

$590 on CL right now. prices dropping pretty quickly.

Sweet! Still debating if I should switch over from iPhone realm.
