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. Quote:

Maybe somebody with a stock Bell SGS2 wants to work with a developer on XDA to create a system dump. I'm not sure how to do this.
If anybody is interested in trying to help out the community, I would try to contact Intratech

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

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.

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)

Anyone got an answer to this question? Quote:

The stock one can't do this and neither can any of the keyboard I found on the appmarket. Maybe I am missing something, any suggestions? |

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

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.
